【要点综述】这是一篇说明文。
作者主要向读者阐述了一个关于幼猴的实验发现。
50.A 考查细节理解。
从文章第一段“Duringthefirstfewdaysofitslife…ontoalmostanylarge,warm,andsoftobject…”可知,幼猴刚出生最需要的是温暖,所以选A项。
51.D 考查推理判断。
从第三段“Whyisclothpreferabletobarewire?
…Babymonkeysspentmuchoftheirtimerubbingagainsttheirmothers'skins…”推知,幼猴选择“布妈妈”,而不是“线妈妈”的原因在于相对于“线妈妈”而言,“布妈妈”皮肤接触起来更舒服,可能也更暖和,故选D项。
52.C 考查细节理解。
从第三段“Prolonged(长时间的)‘contactcomfort’withaclothmotherappearstogivethebabiesconfidenceand…”可知,长时间地与“布妈妈”接触,增加了幼猴的自信心,因此C项是最佳答案。
53.D 考查推理判断。
从最后一段“Ifitsclothmotherisnowintroduced…itobviouslybeginstofeelmoresecure.Itthenclimbsdownfrom…andlessandlesstimeholdingontoits‘mother’.”推知,当幼猴看到“布妈妈”后,它会觉得有安全感,从而在行为上会放松起来,从而越来越喜欢玩玩具,而减少与“母亲”接触的时间,所以D项正确。
54.B 考查写作意图。
文章主要介绍了一个关于幼猴的实验结果,因此作者在文章中是要呈现这个结果给读者,所以B项为最佳答案。
