Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2012·龙岩市质量检查)Y awning is so contagious(具有传染性的) that
chimpanzees can “catch” it from cartoons，according to research.
Scientists from Emory University in Atlanta，US，have discovered that a
cartoon of a yawning chimp will stimulate(刺激) real chimps to yawn.They describe in the Royal Society journal，Proceedings B，how this could assist in the future study of empathy (同感，共鸣)．The work could also help explain it and how computer games might cause children to imitate what they see on screen.
Previous studies have already shown contagious yawning in chimpanzees－stimulated by video-recorded footage of yawns.
“We wanted to expand on that，” explained Matthew Campbell，a researcher from Emory University‟s Y erkes National Primate Research Center and lead author of the study.“We‟re interested in using cartoons for presenting stimuli to animals，because we can control all the features of what we show them，” he continued.
Although Dr Campbell doesn‟t think the chimps were “fooled” by the cartoons into thinking they were looking at real chimps，he explained that there was evidence that chimpanzees “process animated(动画的) faces the same way they process photographs of faces”．
He said，“It‟s not a real chimpanzee，but it kind of looks like a chimpanzee，and they respond to that.”
He and his team，including Devyn Carter who designed the cartoons，showed the animals the yawning sequences.
“We also had the cartoons doing other movements with their mouths that the chimps often do，” he said.“The chimps showed a lot more yawning during the yaw n video when the control videos were
playing.”
He told BBC News that the only way he and his colleagues could explain the “very strong difference” they saw was that seeing the yawns made the animals yawn.
1.According to the passage，the scientists have found that________．
A．yawning is a contagious facial expression among chimps
B．chimps will imitate a cartoon chimp who is yawning
C．chimps are able to understand cartoons very well
D．chimps like watching cartoons very much
解析：选B。

A．yawning on both cartoon videos and pictures can make chimps yawn
B．Devyn Carter led the study about contagious yawning
C．children will also be stimulated to yawn by the videos of chimps
D．people can control all the features of animals through cartoons
解析：选A。

细节理解题。

A．teach them more body language of human beings

黑猩猩看到动画片中打呵欠的黑猩猩后会进行模仿，第四段的后半部分提到科学家可以控制所有的播放内容，由此可推断科学家希望通过研究黑猩猩的模仿行为来控制动物的行为和举止。
