【语篇解读】这篇短文介绍了科学家做实验来证明那种动物比别的动物聪明。科学家把一只猴子放在房间里，观察他们多久能找到食物。

第一处：根据后面的than可知，从此运用了比较级，指“科学家做实验来证明那种动物比别的动物聪明”。故clever改为cleverer或more clever。

第二处：此处指某一间屋子里，并非特指。故the改为a。

第三处：根据后面的several boxes可知，谓语应该用复数形式。故was改为were。

第四处：文章讲述过去的事情，应该用一般过去时态。故have改为had。

第五处：文章讲述过去的事情，应该用一般过去时态。故will改为would。

第六处：wait是不及物动词，但是其后面没有宾语，所以不再加介词for。故删去for。

第七处：get down on one’s knees是固定搭配，指“跪下”的意思。故down后面加on。

第八处：全文看出，这是一位女科学家。故her改为his。

第九处：此处指“看进猴子的眼睛里”，而不是看着。故at改为into。
