答案：【解析】：
这是一道英语阅读理解题，考查对文章细节的理解和推理能力。
1. 第一题是细节理解题，直接从文章中找关于科学家研究大象数量的信息。
2. 第二题也是细节理解题，需要从文章中找出大象帮助不开心同伴的方式。
3. 第三题是词义猜测题，根据上下文推测短语的意思。
4. 第四题是文章结构题，要分析文章的段落关系来确定结构。
5. 第五题是主旨大意题，判断文章的主要目的。
【答案】：
1. B。根据文中“Some scientists studied 26 elephants between the ages of 3 and 60 at the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand.”可知科学家研究了26头大象，答案选B。
2. D。由文中“For example, when some elephants do not feel happy, the others in the family group always try to give them friendly touches. They do it by putting their long, big trunks (象鼻) in each other's mouths. Nearby elephants also make some special noise to calm them down. Sometimes, they just stand close to their friends.”可知①②③都正确，答案选D。
3. B。根据“They never leave behind their weak family members. When one elephant is hurt, the stronger elephants in the family group always go to take care of him.”可知大象不会离开虚弱的家庭成员，所以“leave behind”意思是“go away from”，答案选B。
4. A。文章第一段引出大象会安慰同伴的话题，第二、三段具体说明大象安慰同伴的方式和特点，第四段总结大象之间的关心，是总分总结构，A选项符合，答案选A。
5. B。文章主要讲述了科学家对大象的一项研究，包括大象能感知同伴不开心并安慰它们等内容，所以目的是告诉人们关于大象的一项研究，答案选B。
