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] Allen and Beatrice Gardener managed to communicate with the chimpanzee by______.
选项 A、training the chimpanzee to learn human language in an entirely new method
B、creating a language both man and the chimpanzee were able to use
C、using animal’ s vocal language which the chimpanzee was able to understand
D、learning the chimpanzee’ s language with an entirely new approach
答案 B
解析 题干意为“Allen和Beatrice Gardener试图通过…和黑猩猩交流”。由第三段中“Allen and BeatriceGardener have succeeded in doing this because．．．Past attempts to communicate with．．．use a vocal language．”可以看出，他们使用的全新方法是以黑猩猩的天生能力为基础，过去交流失败的原因就是因为研究人员试图通过有声语言和动物交流。由此可以推断他们创造了一种人和黑猩猩都能使用的语言，故选B。
