问题     Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by "culture" ? Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.
    Our culture lets us make up for having lost out strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects of human behavior, or "culture," can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees(黑猩猩)can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.
Which of the following statement is TRUE?
选项 A、The ability to use language separates human beings.
B、We can be certain that animals have a culture too.
C、Social scientists doubt if animals have a culture too.
D、Some traditional ideas about the difference between human beings and animals may be wrong.
答案D
解析 A选项说使用语言的能力分裂了人类，不符合文意。B选项说我们很肯定动物也有文化，文中只是提到了一些动物的文明，而且论点是认为动物的文化和人类的文化的界线并没有那么清晰，而不是肯定所有动物都已经有文化了。C选项说社会学家质疑动物也有文化的说法，不符合文意。D选项说一些传统观点认为人类和动物之间的区别可能是错误的，符合文章内容。所以答案选D。
