问题     Man finds living together with his own species (物种) difficult enough and living together with other species almost impossible. Our usual solution is to kill off anything that get in our way. Even on those rare occasions when we do enter into a relationship with another species, it is heavily biased(带有倾向)in our favor. The other species benefits only when it suits our own interests. Our attempts to communicate with another species are concerned mainly with giving orders in our own language and having them obeyed. Probably our best attempt has been the whistle language that is used in the shepherd-sheepdog relationship. This is a system that is natural to neither species, but one that both can understand. Its only fault lies in fact that the bias is still there—the dog cannot whistle for the man.
    But now comes news of a piece of research that promises, for the first time, to open up two-way communication between man and another species.
    At the University of Nevada in the western United States, animated(活跃的)conversations are being held with a young female chimpanzee (黑猩猩) called Washoe. Allen and Beatrice Gardener have succeeded in doing this because they have used an entirely new approach, an approach based on the natural abilities of the chimpanzee. Past attempts to communicate with chimpanzees have failed because the researchers tried to make their animals use a vocal language. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项 A、in the future the chimpanzee can learn language like human beings
B、in the past researchers taught a chimpanzee words of our natural language
C、man and animals can get along well if they can communicate with each other
D、the chimpanzee can communicate well with our human beings
答案 C
解析 题干意为“根据文章可以推断出…”。文章第一段说明有史以来人类都不能与其他物种共同生活在一起。第二段“But now…”引出现在新的研究成果。第三段说明两个研究员用一种新的语言可以和一个黑猩猩很好地交流，由此可以推断出作者认为：如果可以交流，人类就能和其他动物融洽相处。故选C。
