(单选题)
The underlined word “dropped” (Line5, Para7) means “______ ”.
A.give up
B.perk up
C.deprived
D.exploited
参考答案:A
参考解析:
词义猜测题。该题可定位到第四段“We can now be confident that the production of facial expressions made by dogs are dependent on the attention state of their audience and are not just a result of dogs being excited.”,从该句可知,狗做面部表情依赖于观众的关注状态,而不仅仅是狗兴奋的表现。所以可以推测当人类没有关注到狗的时候,狗的面部表情就没有那么多了。A项意为“放弃”;B项意为“振奋起来”;C项意为“剥夺”;D项意为“利用”。故选A。
