本文是說明文。生活中存在人和動物對話的情況，其實動物也有自己的語言表達形式�？茖W家們不僅在研究動物們說什么，而且還在研究有朝一日它們是否會回應。

【1】考查連詞。句意：也許是讓一只狗知道它是一只好狗，或者是問一只貓它去了哪里。此處指你和動物談話的內(nèi)容，二者是選擇關系，故填or。

【2】考查名詞。此處和of連用修飾名詞words，用名詞。指“鼓勵的話”，故填encouragement。

【3】考查名詞。此處做主語用名詞，根據(jù)句意可知表示“科學家”，與動詞are一致用復數(shù)。故填Scientists。

【4】考查冠詞。此處特指我們對未來動物的看法，表特指用定冠詞，故填the。

【5】考查動詞時態(tài)。句中時間狀語So far與現(xiàn)在完成時連用，與主語no one一致用單數(shù)，故填has proved/proven。

【6】考查形容詞。修飾句中名詞idea用形容詞，指“普遍的想法”，故填universal。

【7】考查副詞。修飾speaking用副詞，指“一般地說，廣義地說”，故填broadly。

【8】考查定語從句。句意：語言應該是一種獨特的、有組織的交流方式，這種方式是人們樂于學習和使用的。根據(jù)句意和標點可知，句中包含非限制性定語從句，指代前面form用關系代詞which引導，故填which。

【9】考查非謂語動詞。賓語從句中已有謂語動詞do communicate，此處用非謂語動詞。主語some animals和動詞show是主動關系，用現(xiàn)在分詞作定語。故填showing。

【10】考查介詞。句意：所以，也許我們接近于和動物說話了。表示“接近于”是close to，是固定短語。故填to。

分析定語從句關鍵抓住兩點：第一、找準先行詞；第二、看先行詞在定語從句中所作的成分。如小題8根據(jù)句意和標點可知，句中包含非限制性定語從句，指代前面form要用關系代詞which引導。
