1A lovely pup learned how to tell his owner when he wants to go out and even that he loves them using a dog-friendly soundboard. The nearly one-year-old dog Bunny lives in Tacoma,Washington with his owner Devine.

2He was introduced to a special soundboard just a few weeks after he was born,when he first moved into the Devine home.Bunny's soundboard currently has 45 words on it,and a sweet video shared in TikTok shows the pup using it to tell Devine,“Love you,Mom.”

3Devine said that the first command Bunny learned was“outside”when he needed to make a potty trip.Now he appears to know several other commands.Devine was inspired to try out the soundboard with Bunny after seeing other dog owners use the training method online. She decided to try the method with Bunny after seeing videos of speech language pathologist（病理學(xué)家）Christina who had success using the communication technique with her dog,Stella.

4Devine's soundboard technique gradually developed to be more advanced.“The first soundboard that we used was one that I had made after following Christina's guidance on her blog,”she said.“We used that for several months before I connected with a cognitive scientist Leo Trottier. He was looking for testers for a new device and that is the board we are currently using with Bunny.”

5In another video posted in TikTok,Devine acknowledged that it's difficult to say for sure if Bunny actually knows what she is communicating.“I am not a scientist but I recognize that large amounts of data need to be collected before I can make a judgment as to whether or not Bunny actually understands what I'm saying,”she said.

6“I'm also aware that I inevitably skew (歪曲）the data in favor of saying that Bunny is consciously communicating with me,”she said.“Either way, it's a fun and exciting experiment to try out with the beloved family pup.”

-語(yǔ)篇研讀

這是一篇現(xiàn)象說(shuō)明類說(shuō)明文，其主題語(yǔ)境為“人與社會(huì)”范疇中的“社會(huì)進(jìn)步、人類文明”。文章主要講述了迪瓦恩通過(guò)使用對(duì)狗友好的音板訓(xùn)練小狗邦尼學(xué)會(huì)“說(shuō)話”的故事。全文結(jié)構(gòu)如下：

語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)

Ⅰ.語(yǔ)料薈萃

語(yǔ)篇單詞command v. & n. 命令 technique n. 技巧 gradually adv. 逐漸地 advanced adj. 高級(jí)的connect v.溝通 currently adv.目前 acknowledge v.承認(rèn) recognize v.認(rèn)出；承認(rèn) inevitably adv.不可避免地 consciously adv.有意識(shí)地；自覺(jué)地重要短語(yǔ)be introduced to 被引進(jìn)；使嘗試 be inspired to do sth 受啟發(fā)做某事 try out 試驗(yàn)；測(cè)驗(yàn)large amounts of 大量的 make a judgment 做出評(píng)價(jià) as to 關(guān)于 in favor of 贊成；有利于

Ⅱ.語(yǔ)句分析

1.In another video posted in TikTok,Devine acknowledged that it's difficult to say for sure if Bunny actually knows what she is communicating.在發(fā)布在TikTok 的另一段視頻中，迪瓦恩承認(rèn)很難確定邦尼是否真的知道她在說(shuō)什么。

【點(diǎn)石成金】這是一個(gè)主從復(fù)合句。Devine 和acknowledged 分別是主句的主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)，that引導(dǎo)的從句作謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞acknowledged 的賓語(yǔ)，that從句又含if和what引導(dǎo)的兩個(gè)名詞性從句，分別作動(dòng)詞say和knows的賓語(yǔ)。

2. I am not a scientist but I recognize that large amounts of data need to be collected before I can make a judgment as to whether or not Bunny actually understands what I'm saying. 我不是科學(xué)家，但我認(rèn)識(shí)到，在我能夠評(píng)判邦尼是否真的理解我的話之前，（我）需要收集大量數(shù)據(jù)。

【點(diǎn)石成金】這是一個(gè)but連接的并列復(fù)合句。but前面的第一個(gè)分句是主系表結(jié)構(gòu)；but 后面的分句中，that 引導(dǎo)的從句作謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞recognize 的賓語(yǔ)，該賓語(yǔ)從句又含三個(gè)從句，分別是before 引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句以及whether 和what 分別引導(dǎo)的兩個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句。

假定你是李華，與在中國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)的留學(xué)生Peter 結(jié)對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)對(duì)方國(guó)家的語(yǔ)言。最近，Peter寫(xiě)信向你咨詢關(guān)于適合狗使用的音板，請(qǐng)你給Peter寫(xiě)一封回信，內(nèi)容包括：
