46、ents. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Chimpanzee culture refers to groups differing behavioral traditions, which are passed on by learning and imitation rather than gen
47、es. For example, some chimps in Uganda have learned to use some plants to soak up water, which they can then drink. Those elsewhere dont do this.In 2002, Carel van Schaik at the University of Zurich in Switzerland suggested that human interference could destroy this cultural diversity. Now, a decade
48、-long study has found strong evidence that van Schaik was right. A team co-led by Hjalmar Khl at the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research in Leipzig, Germany tracked 31 cultural behaviors, such as using tree branches to catch termites, a species of ant, in 144 chimpanzee communities a
49、cross Africa.The researchers used camera traps to record behaviors, looked for the remains of tools and studied faeces (排泄物) to see if the chimps had eaten things like termites that can be obtained only by using tools.The team then placed the different communities on a map and overlaid a measure of
50、human disturbance, which combined factors like the density of human population and the amount of infrastructure (基础建设).In areas with a greater human footprint, the chimps were found to have fewer cultural behaviors. Each behaviour was 88 per cent less likely to occur in these human-dominated landsca
51、pes.In those places, we find the chimpanzees have suffered a loss in behavioral or cultural diversity, says study co-leader Ammie Kalan at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig.It is thought that the loss of culture comes from older chimps being killed and there being les
52、s interaction between groups, so that if one group dies out, their ideas die with them.It is a discouraging finding, says Jill Pruetz ar Texas State University. Losing some of thebehaviors poses a real risk to the chimps because if they stop fishing for termites or cracking nuts, they can no longer
53、access those foods.56. According to the passage, which of the following is a feature of chimpanzee culture? A. More than one group shares certain kinds of behaviour.B. The behaviors spread through cross-group imitation.C. Young chimpanzees learn the behaviors from older ones.D. The behavioral tradit
54、ions disappear with certain genes.57. The word interference in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _.A. interactionB. intervalC. invasionD. investment58.

58、ut, their ideas die with them.可知文化的丧失是因为年长的黑猩猩被杀，群体之间的互动减少，所以如果一个群体消失了，他们的想法也随之消失。故答案选A。59. 根据文章第八段if they stop fishing for termites or cracking nuts, they can no longer access those foods.可知如果它们停止捕捞白蚁或敲碎坚果，它们就无法再接触到这些食物。故答案选B。(B)For more than 60 years, English speakers used because as a conjunction
