Question

【题目】阅读理解
Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs. They say that in a film or on TV .We may see elephants, or monkeys, dogs, bears, or other animals doing a lot of things. If you watch carefully, you may find that those animals are always given something to eat in return(作为回报) for doing them. The scientists say that many different animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get something to eat in return.
Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and elephants can be used to do some heavy jobs. And we can also teach animals to work in factories. Apes(猿猴), for example, have been used in America to help make cars and scientists believe that these large monkeys may one day get in crops(收割庄稼) and even drive trains.

【解析】文章大意：动物可以帮助我们做事情吗？答案是肯定的，例如狗可以看家，大象可以做一些重活等等。科学家们认为经过训练很多动物都可以帮助我们做一些简单的工作。
（1）推理判断题。根据常识可知，大象是非常强壮的，他们可以帮助我们去做一些重活。A和B都不是原因。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据短文中The scientists say that many different animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get something to eat in return.可知，很多动物都可以经过训练来帮助我们去做一些简单的工作。原文中的many和选项B中的a lot of是同义的，表示数量多，故选B。
（3）细节理解题。根据短文的最后Apes(猿猴), for example, have been used in America to help make cars and scientists believe that these large monkeys may one day get in crops(收割庄稼) and even drive trains.可知，猿猴在美国已经可以用来去帮助制造汽车了，而且科学家们还相信这些猴子也许有一天还可以收割庄稼，甚至开火车。故选A。
（4）细节理解题。根据短文中The scientists say that many different animals may be taught to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get something to eat in return.可知，如果动物知道他们做了一些工作之后会得到一些食物作为回报，那么很多不同的动物都可以经过训练来帮助人们做很多简单的工作。故选C。
