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 hehavior 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 our 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 he 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.
Choose the statement that best expresses the main idea.
选项 A、A chimpanzee can learn to use sign language to make sentences.
B、Other animals can invent tools.
C、Knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behavior.
D、The line dividing human culture from animal culture is not as clear as we might think.
答案D
解析 A选项说黑猩猩会学习使用语言符号造句，不符合文意。B选项说其他动物会发明工具，文中只提到黑猩猩而不是所有其他动物。C选项说知识和交流已经不再是人类行为仅有的标志了，文章主要讨论的是文化而不只是知识和交流。D选项说人类文化和动物文化的分界线不像我们想象的那么清楚。所以答案选D。
