Animals cant talk，but can they lie in ot
28、her ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying，but they do agree that many animals，from birds to chimpanzees，behave dishonestly to fool other animals.Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals
29、.For example，a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young.When a predator (猎食动物) gets close to its nest，the plover leads the predator away from the nest.How? It pretends to have a broken wing.The predator follows the“hurt” adult，leaving the baby birds safe in
30、the nest.Another kind of bird，the scrub jay，buries its food so it always has something to eat.Scrub jays are also thieves.They watch where others bury their food and steal it.But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them.So they go back later，unbury the food，and bury it again some
31、where else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work.How?

32、aky.After a fight，the losing chimp will give its hand to the other.When the winning chimp puts out its hand，too，the chimps are friendly again.But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winners hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways，too.When chimps find food that the
33、y love，such as bananas，it is natural for them to cry out.Then other chimps come running.But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food.That way，other chimps dont hear them，and they dont need to share their food.As children，many of us learn the saying“You cant fool Mother Nature.
34、” But maybe you cant trust her，either.【语篇解读】动物不会说话，但是它们会以其他方式说谎吗？它们会以其身体和行为表现说谎吗？动物专家认为很多动物，从鸟类到黑猩猩，有时候在行为上表现不诚实，用来欺骗其他动物。这样做常常可以帮助它们幸免于难。13.A plover protects its young from a predator by _.A.getting closer to its youngB.driving away the adult predatorC.leaving its young in another nestD.pretending

36、字后面的内容可知，两只黑猩猩打架后，失败的那只会主动向获胜的那只握手言和，但动物专家曾经发现一只失败的黑猩猩握住获胜者的手后，又开始打起来。从而可推断出黑猩猩有时候是不诚实的，故选B。15.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.B.The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winners hand.C.Cuckoos fool their adoptive
37、 parents by making no nests.D.Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.答案A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第四、五句可知，一些聪明的黑猩猩有时候发现食物时小声叫，这样的话其他的黑猩猩听不见叫声，就不会过来和它们分享食物。16.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Do animals lie?B.Does Mother Nature fool animals?C.How do animals learn to lie?
38、D.How does honesty help animals survive?答案A主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知，各种不同的动物在行为上表现不诚实各有各的原因。干扰项为C：动物是如何学会撒谎的？文章内容着重点在于动物撒谎的目的而不是学习撒谎的过程。故C项可以排除。正确答案为A。Passage 5体裁：议论文话题：社会文化词数：381时间：7(2014湖北卷，B)Londons newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build.At a height of alm
