47、boring B. exciting C. useful D. meaningful 答案：B 指导：此处表示大猩猩与博士之间的交谈非常“令人振奋”，从下文看，博士跟大猩猩的交流确实不同一般。“枯燥的”不合下文的逻辑；“有用的”、“有意义的”用在此处都有点太轻描淡写的味道，都不足以表达博士工作的非同一般。4. A. courses B. learning C. studies D. tests 答案：C 指导：此处是说原来曾经用黑猩猩做过语言方面的研究，但从来没有用过大猩猩做过类似的研究。makestudies当“进行研究”讲。从与动问make的搭配关系可排除其他干扰项。5. A. once
48、B. always C. usually D. never 答案：D 指导：由转折词but可以断定，“从来”没有对大猩猩进行过语言方面的研究。6. A. work B. live C. study D. help 答案：A 指导：workwith此处当“以为工作对象”讲，而不是“跟某人一块工作”。此处题意为：我本来期望对大猩猩研究四年，但与大猩猩度过了几个晚上，我就一直陪伴它入睡。此处选“生活”、“学习”、“帮助”显然不合逻辑。7. A. unless B. until C. sothat D. because 答案：B 指导：表示“一直”呆到大猩猩入睡。until引导时间状语从句。8. A.
49、 telling B. showing C. teaching D. improving 答案：C 指导：此处表示“教”大猩猩手势语言，故用teach sbsth，tellsb.sth“告诉某人什么事情”；showsbsth“把什么东西拿给某人看”；inprove此处不合搭配。9.

A. pick it up B. find it outC. give it up D. put it up 答案：A 指导：开始教大猩猩手势语言时，博士也不知道，它会“学”得多快：pick sthup此处当“学会什么”讲。find sthout弄清楚”，give sthup“放弃”，pick sthout“挑出来”都不合题意。13. A. makes B. invents C. fin
51、ds D. borrows 答案：B 指导：当大猩猩不知道一个单词怎样表达时，它就“创造”一个。此处说明大猩猩有一定的创造力。make“制造”，一般是产品；find发现”丢失的动词；borrow借用”干扰性最大，但从文章内容看，大猩猩学到的手势语言有限，不可能从其他场合借用。14.

A. hit B. carried C. sent D. run 答案：C 指导：从后文大猩猩得到猫的消息后“哭泣、伤心、皱眉 头”可以推断出猫被车“撞”了。20. A. keep B. break C. spread D. report答案：B 指导：breakthenews当“宣布令人震惊的大事情讲。对大猩猩来说，自己的宠物被车撞了，应该是“大”事情。spreadthenews当“传播新闻”讲；report thenews当“报告”新闻讲，在此都不合语境。
