There’s an endless amount of scientific data proving that dogs can develop strong bonds with their owners. People aren’t kidding when they say they “love” their dog, or their dog “loves” them. But we’re rather ignorant about the nature of the relationships that form between dogs.
   In an effort to understand the matter further, I spoke with Dr. Marc Bekoff, a researcher and former professor of animal behavior. The doctor’s response to the question of whether or not dogs can fall in love like humans do was a straight “Of course.” He went on to say that if love is defined as a long-term commitment— meaning dogs seek one another out when they’re apart, they’re happy when they’re reunited, they protect one another, they feed one another, they raise their children together— then of course dogs love each other.
   Now our furry friends don’t really experience “romantic” love like in the movies, but they can form deep and lasting bonds with their fellow dogs as well as humans. In fact, evidence shows that most dogs stay with one partner their whole lives. In actuality, love between dogs can be even more intimate than human relationships. When they interact, they aren’t afraid to smell each other and will express themselves clearly and honestly. Once again, it seems we have a lot to learn from dogs.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
19. What does the passage say we don’t know much about?
20. What does Dr. Marc Bekoff say about dogs?
21. What does the speaker say about most dogs?

选项 A、The nature of relationships between dogs.
B、The reason a great many people love dogs.
C、Why dogs can be faithful friends of humans.
D、How dogs feel about their bonds with humans.

答案 A

解析 事实细节题。短文中提到,人们在说他们“爱”狗或者狗“爱”他们的时候并不是在开玩笑,但人们对狗与狗之间关系的本质却一无所知。
