题目内容
10.In a special center in Florida,a capuchin monkey (卷尾猴) is born.It is named Winston,and it will be trained to be a Helping Hands monkey.Helping Hands is a program that trains monkeys to be helpers for quadriplegics (四肢瘫痪者).Winston's preparation begins soon after its birth when it is placed with a foster (代养的) family.The foster family spends a lot of time hugging Winston.This close human contact (接触) is important to help it develop a strong attachment to people.
Winston already has a lot of characteristics that will be useful to quadriplegics.Like humans,Winston has hands and it can pick up something as mall as a piece of thread.It has a tail that it can use to carry objects,hold on to things,and keep its balance.Monkeys such as Winston are also intelligent and they learn the same way human babies do.Being reared in a human environment will make Winston a better pupil when its real training begins.
When Winston is four years old,the foster family must return it to the training center.At the center,Winston has a patient trainer named Lisa.First she teaches Winston to fetch.She always uses the same combination of words when she wants it to perform a particular task.Each time it obeys her command,Lisa gives it a grape.Winston learns that it will get a reward if it exhibits the correct response.
After six months Winston can put a videotape into the VCR.It can go to the refrigerator,get its owner a drink,and pick up anything that is dropped.It is ready to work in the home of a quadriplegic.

分析 本文是记叙文.人类让卷尾猴先适应人类社会的家庭生活,然后接受更多的训练,从而能更好地为四肢瘫痪者服务.
解答 24-27.AACD
24.A.推理判断题.根据第一段中的trains monkeys to be helpers for quadriplegics.(训练猴子成为四肢瘫患者的助手)以及第二段中的This close human contact is important to help it develop a strong attachment to people(这种与人近距离的接触有助于培养它对人强烈的依恋).可知,卷尾猴与人类的亲密接触是为了将来更好地为四肢瘫痪者服务,也能更好地适应它日后所处的人类社会的家庭生活.
25.A.词义猜测题.根据第二段中的it is placed with a foster family(它被放在一个寄养家庭)以及该词后的in a human environment(在人类的环境中)可猜测,卷尾猴是被"养育(reared)"在人类环境里的.
26.C.推理判断题.根据第四段中卷尾猴所受到的训练以及最后一段提到的It is ready to work in the home of a quadriplegic(它准备好了在一个有四肢瘫患者家庭工作)可知,卷尾猴被送回训练中心就是要让它学会如何去帮助四肢瘫痪者.
27.D.细节理解题.根据第四段中的Each time it obeys her command,Lisa gives it a grape.Winston learns that it will get a reward if it exhibits the correct response(每次它遵守她的命令时Lisa会给它一颗葡萄.Winston了解到如果它表现出争取的回应将会得到奖赏)可知,卷尾猴接受的是反应和奖赏训练,故本题答案为D选项.
