Dolphins are interesting animals. Working with them is fun, because you never know what they will come up with to surprise you.
Remember when your mom used to cut up your food? Circe, a show dolphin, won’t eat fish unless someone cuts the fins(鱼鳍) off. Diana Reiss, a scientist who worked with Circe, knew that. But one day she forgot.
Reiss was training Circe to "stay at station" in front of her. Every time the dolphin swam off, Reiss gave her a time-out by backing away from the side of the pool and standing at a distance. When Circe stayed, Reiss fed her a piece of fish. But then she gave her a piece with fins by mistake.
Circe looked at Reiss, spat(吐) out the fish, and swam across the pool. She took an upright position in the water and simple "stood" there. Circe was communicating (交流) loud and clear. "I felt as if I had gotten the time-out!" says Reiss.
Another dolphin, Pete, enjoyed his meals of fish served up by his trainer. But a wild bird started to show up at every feeding to steal some of the dolphin’s supper. Pete was definitely not happy about that.
One day when Pete’s trainer gave him frozen fish, Pete let them sink to the bottom of his pool. Between shows he dived down and pushed eight fish up to the surface, and managed to keep all of them afloat. For five minutes, the bird watched anxiously. Finally, the bird
took the bait
. When it did, Pete caught the bird’s feet and pulled it underwater! Then he took care of that little thief.
We know from the text that Pete ______.
选项
A、was trained to stay at station
B、often plays with food before he eats
C、likes to eat fish without fins
D、was smart in teaching the bird a lesson
答案
D
解析
分析推理题。文章最后两段讲述的是另一条海豚Pete的故事。故事说的是它用计谋让偷吃它食物的小鸟上当,并把小鸟拖到了水里,当然表明这条海豚很聪明(smart),给了小鸟一个教训(teaching the bird a lesson),故本题答案就是[D]。而[A]、[C]涉及的都是Circe这条海豚,[B]在文中未被提及。
