Ⅳ. (2025·徐州期末)阅读理解
鹦鹉巧学人类语言,乌鸦妙用工具觅食,猴子协作智取果实,大象记路不忘恩情。动物们的智慧,正颠覆你对它们的印象!
Your dog waves his tail to welcome you
home. You may say, "My dog is so smart!" But
how smart are animals?
People once thought animals didn't think.
If they were hungry, they ate. If they were
thirsty, they drank. If they were cold, they sat
in the sun. If they were hot, they looked for
cool places.
Now we know differently. Alex is a parrot.
He likes to talk! He can speak almost
100 English words. He can count to six. He
even knows what the numbers mean. He learns
shapes and colours and can tell them apart. Alex
works hard to say words correctly. He can also
correct other parrots when they don't say the
words clearly enough!
Parrots aren't the only smart animals.
Ravens can solve puzzles(谜). They can get fish
from fishermen.
Monkeys also talk to one another. They use
sounds to tell other monkeys who they are.
Elephants can remember things for a long
time. They also have other amazing skills. Like
humans, they can look in mirrors(镜子) and
know they are seeing themselves!
So, how smart are animals? The answer is:
smarter than you think.

的智慧。
1.D [解析]推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,全文围绕动
物的智慧展开,列举了鹦鹉、乌鸦、猴子和大象的聪慧行
为。这类主题通常出现在与自然或科学相关的杂志栏目
中。故选D。
2.B [解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的"He can speak
almost 100 English words... He learns shapes and colours
and can tell them apart."可知,艾利克斯能学习形状和颜
