【分析解答题】In the past few decades, remarkable findings have been made in ethology, the study of animal social behavior.Earlier scientists had 1 that nonhuman social life was almost totally instinctive or fixed by genetics. Much more careful observation has shown that 2 variation occurs among the social ties of most species, showing that learning is a part of social life. That is, the 3 are not solely fixed by the genes.
4，the learning that occurs is often at an early age in a process that is called imprinting. Imprinting is clearly 5 instinctive, but it is not quite like the learning of humans; it is something in between the two.An illustration best 6 the nature of imprinting. Once, biologists thought that ducklings followed the mother duck because of instincts. Now we know that, shortly 7 they hatch, ducklings fix 8 any object about the size of a duck and will henceforth follow it. So ducklings may follow a basketball or a briefcase if these are 9 for the mother duck at the time when imprinting occurs. Thus, social ties can be considerably 10, even ones that have a considerable base 11 by genetics.
Even among the social insects something like imprinting 12 influence social behavior. For example, biologists once thought bees communicated with others purely 13 instinct.But, in examining a “dance” that bees do to indicate the distance and direction of a pollen source, observers found that bees raised in isolation could not communicate effectively.At a higher level, the genetic base seems to be much more for an allpurpose learning rather than the more specific responses of imprinting.Chimpanzees, for instance, generally 14 very good mother but Jane Goodall reports that some chimps carry the infant upside down or 15 fail to nurture the young. She believes that these females were the youngest or the 16 child of a mother. In such circumstances, they did not have the opportunity to observe how their own mother 17 for her young.Certainly adolescent chimps who are still with their mothers when other young are born take much interest in the rearing of their young brother or sister. They have an excellent opportunity to learn, and the social ties that are created between mother and young 18 Goodall to describe the social unit as a family. The motheroffspring tie is beyond 19;there is some evidence to 20 that ties also continue between siblings of the same sex, that is “brotherbrother” and “sistersister”.

网考网试题解析：
1Aassumed 根据题意，“早期的科学家，假定非人类动物的社会生活几乎完全是天生的，或是由遗传决定的”,assume多用于未证实的假定；adopt 意为“采用，接受”；believe 意为“相信”；surmise 意为“猜测，推测”，相当于“guess”。如：She surmised as much. 她如此猜测。 2Cconsiderable considerate 意为“体谅的，为别人着想的”；considered 意为“经过考虑的，被尊重的”；considerable 意为“相当多的，可观的”；considering 意为“就……而论”。显然A、B、D项意思不符。 3Bstatuses statue 意为“雕像、塑像”；status 意为“身份、地位”；statute 意为“成文法，法规”；stature 意为“身材，身高”。由句意，A、C、D项很容易被排除。 4A What’s more 上一段提到“学习是动物的社会生活的一部分”，第二段接着讲“学习发生在动物小时候的印象中期”，两段间不存在递进(Whats more)或因果(Hence)关系。而but表转折时，一般不与句子分开，所以A项What’s more为最佳答案。 5Anot 根据上下文，“印象”不是天生的，而是经过学习得到的。 6Aclarifies A项clarify “使清楚，阐明”。B项classify “分类，使……成为机密”。C项define “下定义，界定”。D项outline “画轮廓，作大纲”。 原文的意思是“一个例证很好地阐明了‘印象’的本质”。所以A项clarifies最适合题意。 7Dafter shortly after 为固定词组，意思是“……之后立即”。 8Aon fix on为固定搭配，意思是“选定”。 例如：Ive fixed on a little house near Paris. 我已选定了巴黎附近的一间小房子。 9Bsubstituted substituted A for B，意思是“用A代替B”。 这句话是说“如果在‘印象’发生时，用篮球或公文包代替母鸭，小鸭子也许会跟随它们。” appropriate 意为“拨作(款项等)供专用”，如：10,000 dollars have been appropriated for the new school building. (已拨款)1万美元为建新校舍之用。 10Daltered A项vary “变化，使不同(强调范围变化)”，多用在“vary from…to…”中。B项deviate “越出正轨，违反”。C项differ “使相异”。D项alter “改变，更改”，相当于change。 11Afashioned fashion 在这里作动词，意为“构成，做成……形状”。如：fashion a lump of clay into a bowl 用粘土塑成碗。 12Cmust 这里考查的是情态动词。由蜜蜂的例子可以看出，甚至在昆虫之中，类似“印象”的东西也必然影响着其他社会行为，may、 should、 can的语气均不如must强。 13Aby by instinct 为固定用法，意思是“出于本能”。 例如：Birds learn to fly by instinct. 鸟靠本能学会飞行。 14Bmake make在这里的意思是“变为，证明为”，例如：He will make her a good husband. 他将成为她的好丈夫。 这句话的意思是说“大猩猩通常会成为很好的母亲。” 15Deven otherwise意为“在不同情况下，在其他方面”。例如： The rent is high, but otherwise the house is satisfactory. 租金很贵，但在其他方面，这座房子还令人满意。 16Donly A项only child为固定用法，意思是“独生子”。 17Ccared cared for 意思是“关心，照料”。look for “寻找”。 attend 一般与on/upon连用，意思是“看护，照料”，例如： She has three servants attending upon her. 她有三个仆人伺候。 provide for “准备，扶养”。例如：He has a large family to provide for. 他有一大家子要养。 provide for 作“扶养”时，多指提供食物，所以四个选项中，只有C项最合题意。 18Dlead lead sb. to do sth. 意思是“领导……的行动和意见；影响，引诱”。例如： What led you to this conclusion? 什么使你下这个结论? Im led to believe his words. 某些事实使我相信他所说的。 19Cdoubt A项beyond limitation “超出限制范围，不受限制”。B项beyond imagination “不可想像”。C项beyond doubt “不容置疑”。D项beyond expectation “出乎意料”。 这句话的意思是“母子之间的联系是毫无疑问的”，所以C项doubt为最佳选择。 20Dsuggest advise 意为“建议”；hint, imply 意为“暗示”；suggest 意为“表明，显示”。 如：Your wheezing breathing suggests asthma. 你的哮喘显示你可能患哮喘病。 Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension 查看试题解析出处>>
