【題目】 We know people can be nice, but what about animals?

Scientists say that some animals are capable（有能力的）of being nice. Animals that live in groups-like foxes, chimpanzees（大猩猩）, and elephants-follow rules. They have to follow rules to get along and to survive（生存）. However, animals can act nicely, even when they don't have to. Here are some surprising stories about animal behavior.

Most people usually walk away when someone is unkind to them. Marc Bekoff, a researcher at the University of Colorado, saw a female（母的）red fox do just that. The female fox was unhappy because a male（公的）fox played roughly（粗魯?shù)兀?/span>with her. When she walked away, the male fox showed her that he wanted to play nicely. He lowered his head and rolled on his back. The female fox gave him another chance, and this time, he played more gently.

Geza Teleki is a scientist who studies chimpanzees in Tanzania. One day, Teleki hiked far away from his campsite. He didn't have any food. Teleki wanted some fruit from a tree, but the tree was too tall. A young chimpanzee watched him curiously as he tried to get something to eat. The chimpanzee climbed the tree, picked the fruit, and gave it to him!

An elephant in Kenya hurt his trunk（象鼻子）. He needed help because he couldn't put food into his mouth. Researcher Kayhan Ostovar watched silently. He saw the hurt elephant show his sore trunk to a healthy elephant. The healthy elephant didn't need any more information. He took a bush and put it carefully into his new friend's mouth.

Hippos（河馬）and crocodiles are usually good friends. They hang out together in rivers. But Karen Paolillo, a wildlife expert in Zimbabwe, saw something surprising. One day, a crocodile tried to eat a monkey that was next to a river. A hippo ran quickly to the crocodile and chased it away. Why did the hippo attack（攻擊）the crocodile? Paolillo says hippos sometimes protect other animals from crocodiles.

A. animals that live in groups follow rules

B. some animals can be nice to other animals

【答案】

【解析】

本篇文章難度適中，主要通過幾個(gè)令人吃驚的故事表明有時(shí)候一些動(dòng)物也會(huì)表現(xiàn)得很好。例如赤狐、猩猩、大象以及河馬。

【1】主旨大意題。根據(jù)However, animals can act nicely, even when they don't have to. Here are some surprising stories about animal behavior以及全文可知，動(dòng)物有時(shí)候會(huì)表現(xiàn)的很好，甚至有時(shí)候他們沒有必要這么做，后文講述了幾個(gè)故事，說明有些動(dòng)物對(duì)其他動(dòng)物表現(xiàn)得很好，故選B。

【2】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)Most people usually walk away when someone is unkind to them. Marc Bekoff, a researcher at the University of Colorado, saw a female（母的）red fox do just that可知，當(dāng)某人對(duì)一些人不友好時(shí)，他們會(huì)生氣地走開，母的赤狐也像那樣做，指的就是赤狐也會(huì)走開，故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)He didn't have any food. Teleki wanted some fruit from a tree, but the tree was too tall. A young chimpanzee watched him curiously as he tried to get something to eat. The chimpanzee climbed the tree, picked the fruit, and gave it to him可知，泰萊基想要樹上的水果，但是樹太高了，一個(gè)小猩猩好奇地看著他，最后這個(gè)猩猩爬上樹摘了水果送給了他，所以可以推斷出泰萊基不會(huì)爬樹，故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)An elephant in Kenya hurt his trunk（象鼻子）. He needed help because he couldn't put food into his mouth可知，在肯尼亞，一只大象傷了它的鼻子，因?yàn)樗荒軐⑹澄锼偷阶炖铮运枰獛椭�，。所以因�(yàn)楸亲佑袀�，不能使用鼻子，故選B。

【5】代詞指代題。代詞代指上文中出現(xiàn)的內(nèi)容。根據(jù)One day, a crocodile tried to eat a monkey that was next to a river. A hippo ran quickly to the crocodile and chased it away可知，鱷魚想吃猴子，一個(gè)河馬迅速跑向鱷魚，將鱷魚趕走，所以it代指的是鱷魚。故選A。

They all have their McDonald‘’s, their KFCs and their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of office buildings. And of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars.

The answer could be that people could be very interested in the past.【2】Most people travel overseas to find out what foreign countries’ history and culture used to be like, not what they are like today.
