14.Yawning is so contagious(具有传染性) that chimpanzees can"catch"it from cartoons,according to research.Scientists from Emory University in Atlanta,US,have discovered that a cartoon of a yawning chimp will stimulate(刺激) real chimps to yawn. They describe in the Royal Society journal,Proceedings B,how this could assist in the future study of empathy(移情作用). The work could also help explain if and how computer games might cause children to imitate what they see on screen.
Previous studies have already shown contagious yawning in chimpanzees-stimulated by video-recorded footage of yawns.
"We wanted to expand on that,"explained Matthew Campbell,a researcher from Emory University's Yerkes National Primate Research Center and lead author of the study."We're interested in using cartoon for presenting stimuli to animals,because we can control all the features of what we show them,"he continued.
Although Dr Campbell doesn't think the chips were"fooled"by the cartoons into thinking they were looking at real chimps,he explained that there was evidence that chimpanzees"process animated(动画的) faces the same way they process photographs of faces".
He said:"It's not a real chimpanzee,but it kind of looks like a chimpanzee,and they're responding to that."
He and his team,including Devyn Carter who designed the cartoons,showed the animals the yawning sequences.
"We also had the cartoons doing other movements with their mouths that the chimps often do,''he said."The chimps showed a lot more yawning during the yawn video when the control videos were playing."
He told BBC News that the only way he and his colleagues could explain the"very strong difference"they saw was that seeing the yawns was making the animals yawn.
72. According to the passage,the scientists have found thatB.
A. yawning is a contagious facial expression among chimps
B. chimps will imitate a cartoon chimp who is yawning
C. chimps are able to understand cartoons very well
D. chimps like watching cartoons very much
73. According to the passage we can learn thatA.
A. yawning on both cartoon videos and pictures can make chimps yawn
B. Devyn Carte led the study about contagious yawning
C. children will also be stimulated to yawn by the videos of chimps
D. people can control all the features of animals through cartoon
74. By studying the action of chimps,the scientists hope toC.
A. teach them more body language of human beings
B. learn how chimps use their brains to study
C. control the actions and behaviors of animals
D. create more charming cartoon characters
75. The passage is mainly talking aboutD.
A. a serious research about chimps'body language
B. those contagious gestures of animals
C. why children imitate what they see on TV
D. a study about chimps'ability of imitating.
分析 研究表明,黑猩猩会模仿动画片中黑猩猩的打呵欠动作,如果能充分利用黑猩猩的这种模仿能力,人类对动物行为的控制将取得重大突破.
解答 72.B 细节理解题.根据第二段第一句"Scientists from Emory University in Atlanta,US,have discovered that a cartoon of a yawning chimp will stimulate(刺激) real chimps to yawn可知黑猩猩看到动画片中打呵欠的黑猩猩时,会进行模仿;故选B.
73.A 细节理解题.根据第五段后半部分",he explained that there was evidence that chimpanzees"process animated(动画的) faces the same way they process photographs of faces""可知无论是动画片中还是图片中的打呵欠动作都可以让黑猩猩打呵欠;故选A.
74.C 推理判断题.黑猩猩看到动画片中打呵欠的黑猩猩后会进行模仿,第四段的后半部分提到科学家可以控制所有的播放内容,由此可推断科学家希望通过研究黑猩猩的模仿行为来控制动物的行为和举止;故选C.
75.D 主旨大意题.本文是一篇研究报道,第一段是文章的中心段,根据该段内容可知文章是关于黑猩猩模仿能力的一项研究;故选D.
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.
