2.Do animals have a culture?What do we mean by"culture?"Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans,or if some animals have a culture too.When we speak of culture,we mean a way of life a group of people have in common.Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn.It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together.It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.
Our culture lets us make up (弥补) for having lost our strength,claws,long teeth,and other defenses.Instead we use tools,work with one another,and communicate with others by using languages.But these parts of human behavior,or"culture,"can also be found in the lives of certain animals.Animals can make tools,for example.We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals.Lately,however,we have found that this is not the case.Chimpanzees can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves.Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate.So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.

分析 文章大意:
很长一段时间以来,人们认为只有人类群体中才能形成一种文化体系,才能够用语言进行交流,沟通.可是,大量的事实证明动物界也存在文化,也能够语言进行交流和沟通.因此通过文化思想及语言来区分动物还是人类的观点并不正确.
解答 62.C,推理判断题,文中提到"Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate"除了人类,动物也能够进行交流和分享知识,由此确定选择C.
63.B,推理判断题,文中提到"we mean a way of life a group of people have in common"文化是一种生活方式,"It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group"更是用来区分不同种群的一种模式,由此确定选择B.
64.D,推理判断题,文中提到"But these parts of human behavior,or"culture,"can also be found in the lives of certain animals"人类的文化在动物界也是存在的,然后举的例子就是大猩猩使用工具,由此确定选择D.
65.D,推理判断题,文中提到"So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think"动物群体中也存在文化,因此用文化来区分人和动物显然是错误的,由此确定选择D.
