59、treat sticks as dolls, carrying them around until they have children of their own. Young males engage in such behavior much less frequently.The new work by Sonya M. Kahlenberg and Richard W. Wrangham, described this week in the journal Current Biology, provides the first evidence of a wild nonhuman
60、species playing with dolls, as well as the first known sex difference in a wild animals choice of playthings.The two researchers say their work adds to a growing body of evidence that human children are probably born with their own ideas of how they want to behave, rather than simply mirroring other
61、 girls who play with dolls and boys who play with trucks. Doll play among humans could have its origins in objectcarrying by earlier apes (猿类), they say, suggesting that toy selection is probably not due entirely to socialization.“In humans, there are obvious sex differences in childrens toy play, a
62、nd these are remarkably similar across cultures，” says Kahlenberg. “While socialization by elders and peers has been the primary explanation, our work suggests that biology may also have an important role to play in activity preferences.”In 14 years of data on chimpanzee behavior at the Kibale Natio
63、nal Park in Uganda，Kahlenberg and Wrangham counted more than 100 examples of stickcarrying. Some young chimpanzees carried sticks into the nest to sleep with them and on one occasion built a separate nest for the stick. “We have seen juveniles occasionally carrying sticks for many years, and because
64、 they sometimes treated them rather like dolls, we wanted to know if in general this behavior tended to represent something like playing with dolls，” says Wrangham, a Professor at Harvard. “If the doll hypothesis (假设) was right, we thought that females should carry sticks more than males do, and tha
65、t the chimpanzees should stop carrying sticks when they had their first child. We have now watched enough young chimpanzees to prove both points.”1What does a female chimpanzee do with sticks?AShe gives them to her child to play with.BShe treats them as weapons.CShe treats them as dolls.DShe makes u

68、选B推理判断题。根据第四段倒数第一句“our work suggests that biology may also have an important role to play in activity preferences.”可知，这两位科学家的研究表明：生物学因素也可能影响黑猩猩对玩具的偏好。A项与原文中的“While socialization by elders and peers has been the primary explanation”不符，故排除；C项过于绝对，D项文中未涉及。故选B项。4It can be concluded from the passage that
69、 _.Achimpanzees usually choose playthings for their childrenBdifferent factors cause humans and chimpanzees to choose different playthingsConly female chimpanzees have playthingsDboth humans and chimpanzees choose their playthings due to sex difference解析：选D推理判断题。综合文章内容可知，无论是人类还是黑猩猩，性别是导致玩具选择差异的重要原因。
