It seems likely that most people who try to evaluate the intelligence of animals are probahly measuring the wrong things! Yes, there is great importance in the fact that parrots and parakeets can often quickly learn to copy sounds they hear. Similarly, most dogs can be conditioned to behave in specific ways on command. These are certainly aspects which show native intelligence. But I believe that it is important to place higher standards on what is expected.
Here is an example of what I consider to be far clearer evidence of the native intelligence of one specific dog. As a puppy, a dog of mine was frightened by a very loud sound, the firing of a shotgun just a couple feet away from her. As a result, Deimos always hated loud sounds throughout her life.
Even though she was a hunting dog(a Redbone Coonhound)she grew up being very spoiled and somewhat of a sissy, always expecting to be covered up to sleep in her dogbed. Early in her life, I had noticed that when she saw the flash of lightning, she would invariably run to her dogbed and start to shiver. I eventually realized that she wanted not only to be covered, but to have her head covered as well. At the time, I did not understand the implications of that, but there was every appearance that she was frightened of the flash of lightning.
It was only after watching this happen many times that 1 finally realized that she had somehow figured out the relationship between lightning and thunder! When she would see the bright flash, she had figured out that a few seconds later, there would be a loud boom! So it was not the bright flash at all that she was afraid of, but the thunder that she knew would soon follow.
That is amazing analytical thinking! How could a dog discover such a relationship?
It actually had some humorous side effects! Whenever a flash camera was used to take a photo of anyone, she would immediately run to her bed and start shivering! 1 would wonder if she was confused as to why there was no sound of thunder then!
This example shows a combination of good observation and good logic in an analysis and then in arriving at a reliable conclusion. That is pretty close to what is considered the Scientific Method of investigation! That is quite different from an animal simply learning to copy some sound or behavior, or to reinforce a specific behavior based on treats or praise training.
It is implied in the text that some animals______.
选项
A、have developed the ability to analyze and solve problems
B、can figure out what would happen after a frightening event
C、have limited ability to analyze what happens around them
D、understand the relationship between lightning and thunder
答案
C
解析
根据第五段中的“That is amazing analytical thinking!…”可知,作者认为,狗能预知闪电之后会有雷声,证明狗有分析能力。第六段提到狗看见照相机的闪光时也害怕,证明其分析能力有限。所以,C应为答案。
