Researchers say they have translated the meaning f gestures that wild chimpanzees (黑猩猩) use t cmmunicate. They say wild chimps cmmunicate 19 specific messages t ne anther with a “vcabulary” f 66 gestures. The scientists discvered this by fllwing and filming grups f chimps in Uganda, and examining mre than 5,000 incidents f these meaningful exchanges.
Dr Catherine Hbaiter, wh led the research, said that this was the nly frm f intentinal cmmunicatin t be recrded in the animal kingdm. Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system f cmmunicatin where they deliberately sent a message t anther grup member.
“That's what's s amazing abut chimp gestures,” she said. “They're the nly thing that lks like human language in that respect.”
Althugh previus research has shwn that apes and mnkeys can understand cmplex infrmatin frm anther animal's call, the animals d nt appear t use their vices intentinally t cmmunicate messages. This was a significant difference between calls and gestures, Dr Hbaiter said.
Chimps will check t see if they have the attentin f the animal with which they wish t cmmunicate. In ne case, a mther presents her ft t her crying baby, signalling:“Climb n me.”The yungster immediately jumps n t its mther's back and they travel ff tgether. “The big message frm this study is that there is anther species (物种) ut there that is meaningful in its cmmunicatin, s that's nt unique t humans,” said Dr Hbaiter.
Dr Susanne Shultz, an evlutinary bilgist frm the University f Manchester, said the study was praisewrthy in seeking t enrich ur knwledge f the evlutin f human language. But, she added, the results were “a little disappinting”.
“The vagueness f the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little t cmmunicate, r we are still missing a lt f the infrmatin cntained in their gestures and actins,” she said. “Mrever, the meanings seem t nt g beynd what ther animals cnvey with nnverbal cmmunicatin. S, it seems the gulf remains.”

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项关于黑猩猩的姿势的研究。研究发现,黑猩猩会有意地利用姿势来传递信息和交流。
1.D 根据第二段最后一句“Only humans and chimps, she said, had a system f cmmunicatin where they deliberately sent a message t anther grup member.”可知,人类和黑猩猩都会有意地进行交流。
2.B 根据倒数第二段“Dr Susanne Shultz, the study was praisewrthy in seeking t enrich ur knwledge f the evlutin f human language. But, results were ‘a little disappinting’.”中的praisewrthy和a little disappinting可知,这次研究有值得称赞之处,但是也有点令人失望,故选B。
3.A 根据画线词上句“Mrever, the meanings seem t nt g beynd what ther animals cnvey with nn-verbal cmmunicatin. S, it seems the gulf remains.”可知,黑猩猩手势传递的信息的意义,并没有超出其他动物通过非言语方式传达的含义。所以和人类的语言交流方式还是存在差异。故画线词gulf在此处意为“差异”。故选A。
4.D 文章讲的是一项关于黑猩猩的姿势的研究。研究发现,黑猩猩会有意地利用姿势来传递信息和交流,研究分析了它们的姿势的意义。故选D。
长难句
原句 The vagueness f the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little t cmmunicate, r we are still missing a lt f the infrmatin cntained in their gestures and actins...
分析 该句为主从复合句。主句中的主语为“The vagueness f the gesture meanings”,含义是“姿势的意义模糊”,suggests是主句的谓语动词,后面使用连接了两个宾语从句,第一个“that the chimps have little t cmmunicate”指黑猩猩们几乎没有交流。第二个“we are still missing a lt f the infrmatin cntained in their gestures and actins”指我们仍然没有搞清楚它们的姿势和行为中蕴含的大量信息。
译文 姿势的含义模糊不清,要么表明黑猩猩们很少交流,要么表明我们仍然没有搞清楚它们的姿势和行为中蕴含的大量信息……
