Can animals have a sense of humor？ Sally Blanchard, publisher of a newsletter called the P

et Bird Report, thinks a pet parrot may have pulled her leg. That' s one explanation for the time her African gray parrot, named Bongo Marie, seemed to feign distress at the possible death of an Amazon parrot named Paco.

It happened one day when Blanchard was making Cornish game hen for dinner. As Blanchard lifted her knife, the African gray threw back its head and said, "Oh, no! Paco!" Trying not to laugh, Blah chard said, "That's not Paco," and showed Bongo Marie that the Amazon was alive and well. Mimicking a disappointed tone, Bongo Marie said, "Oh, no," and launched into a hoarse laugh.

Was the parrot joking when it seemed to believe the other bird was a goner？ Did Bongo Marie comprehend Blanchard's response？ Studies of African grays have shown that they can understand the meaning of words—for example, that red refers to a color, not just a particular red object. Parrots also enjoy getting a reaction out of humans, and so, whether or not Bongo Marie's crocodile tears were intentional, the episode was thoroughly satisfying from the parrot's point of view.

When Blanchard was, making Cornish game hen for dinner, Bongo Marie acted as if paco was ______.

A．gone and couldn't eat the meal

B．dead and being cut for the meal

C．deadly iii and discarded by the hostess

D．away and should be back to join them

听力原文： Today's discussion is about a common animal reaction--the yawning. The dictionar

y defines a yawn as "an involuntary reaction to fatigue or boredom". That's definitely true for human yawns but not necessarily for animal yawns. The same action, the yawn, can have quite different meanings in different species.

For instance, some animals yawn to intimidate intruders on their territory. Fish and lizards are examples of this. Hippos use yawns when they want to resolve a quarrel. Observers have seen two hippos yawn at each other for as long as two hours before they stop quarreling.

As for social animals like baboons or lions--they yawn to set up the pecking order within social groups, and lions often yawn to calm social tensions. Sometimes these animals yawn for a strictly physiological reason--that is to increase oxygen levels. And curiously enough, when they yawn for a physical reason like that, they do what men do-they try to stifle the yawn by looking away or by covering their mouths.

What's the main topic of the monologue？

A．Different animals' yawns.

B．Human's yawn.

C．Fish's yawn.

D．Social animals' yawns.

听力原文： In America, there are more households with pets than those with children. At lea

st 43% of the US homes have pets of some sort. Exotic creatures, such as monkeys, snakes and even wolves, find a home with some Americans. More common pets include tropical fish, mice and birds. But the all-time favorites are cats and dogs, even at the White House.

Beneath the furry luxuries, there lies a basic American belief: pets have a right to be treated well. At least 75 animal welfare organizations exit in America. These provide care and adoption services for homeless and abused animals. Veterinarians can give animals an incredible price. To pay for the high-tech health care, people can buy health insurance for their pets. And when it's time to say good-bye, owners can bury their pets in a respectable pet cemetery.

The average Americans enjoy having pets around, and for good reasons. Researchers have discovered that interacting with animals lowers a person's blood pressure. Dogs can offer protection from burglars and unwelcome visitors. Cats can help stimulate the owners' softness. Little creatures of all shapes and sizes can provide companionship and love. In many cases, having a pet prepares a young couple for the responsibilities of parenthood. Pets even encourage social relationships: They give their owners an appearance of friendliness, and they provide a good topic of conversation.

About ______ American homes have the habit of keeping pets.

A．43%

B．57%

C．75%

D．25%
