{{B}}Passage 1{{/B}}

Can animals have a sense of humor SallyBlanchard, publisher of a newsletter called the PetBird Report, thinks a pet parrot may have pulled her leg. That’s one explanation for the time herAfrican gray parrot, namedBongo Marie, seemed to feign distress at the possible death of anAmazon parrot named Paco.
It happened one day whenBlanchard was makingCornish game hen for dinner.AsBlanchard lifted her knife, theAfrican gray threw back its head and said, "Oh, no! Paco!" Trying not to laugh,Blanchard said, "That’s not Paco," and showedBongo Marie that theAmazon was alive and well. Mimicking a disappointed tone,Bongo Marie said, "Oh, no," and launched into a hoarse laugh.
Was the parrot joking when it seemed to believe the other bird was a gonerDidBongo Marie comprehendBlanchard’s response Studies ofAfrican grays have shown that they can understand the meaning of words--for example, that red refers to a color, not just a particular red object. Parrots also enjoy getting a reaction out of humans, and so, whether or notBongo Marie’s crocodile tears were intentional, the episode was thoroughly satisfying from the parrot’s point of view.
In the last sentence, the clause "the episode was...point of view" suggests thatBongo Marie was ______.A．quite content with its own performance
B．believed to have a sense of humor
C．trying to win its host’s favor
D．successful, in getting a human response

网考网试题解析：
[解析] 从最后一句“Parrots also enjoy getting a reaction out of humans，and so， whether or not Bongo Marie’s crocodile tears were intentional，the episode was thoroughly satisfying from the parrot’s point of view．”可知，鹦鹉喜欢从人那里得到反应，因此，不管Bongo的鳄鱼泪是否故意，在这只鹦鹉看来是完全令人满意的。因为它得到了主人的反应。因此D项是正确答案。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
