Ⅴ.首字母填空
根据短文内容及首字母提示，在空格处填入一个适当的词使短文完整。
（2025·镇江一模$）Cats might not answer when we talk to them, but they could be listening more carefully than we i\underline{1}. A new study suggests that cats can learn to connect spoken words with pictures.$
Researchers from Azabu University, led by Saho Takagi, did an experiment（实验$）with 31 cats. They played recordings of the cats' owners' words l\underline{2} "parumo" or "keraru". While listening, the cats saw pictures on a screen, such as a red sun or a w\underline{3} horse. The pictures became bigger and smaller to k\underline{4} the cats interested. After showing the same word-picture pairs several times, the cats became b\underline{5} and went away.$
In the next part of the study, the researchers showed one of the pictures to the cats again. But for half of the cats, they changed the word that matched the picture. The cats that heard the "wrong" word looked at the picture for a longer time. This showed that they were confused（困惑的$）b\underline{6} they didn't hear the word they used to hear. Some cats' eyes got bigger as they looked at the screen. That was another sign that they were confused by what they saw and heard. Takagi said, "It was really cute to see how s\underline{7} the cats took part in the experiment."$
$Most cats connected the word to the picture after just two short training periods, each lasting 9 seconds. This is f\underline{8} than how human babies learn in similar experiments.$
$This study is part of more research about cats' ability to understand l\underline{9}. Before, studies found that cats can recognise（$识别$）their own names, and also the names of the people and other cats in their "family". Takagi said, "Cats listen to what we say in our d\underline{10} life and try to understand us more than we think."$
