解题依据 解题分析
1
B
词义比较逻辑推理 Washoe虽然还年幼，可绝对不是普普通通的黑猩猩，因为科学家正在对Washoe进行研究与实验。特别注意后面的though作副词用，意为"虽然, 可是"，根据语意转折。foolish愚蠢的，笨的；ordinary平常的, 普通的, 平凡的；special特别的，特殊的；simple简单的、单纯的。
2 D 固定搭配 do (make) a research on…对……进行研究。
3 D 语法规则 civilized是由动词变过来的形容词，文中已标出汉语意思，其作表语只能选半系动词become，其它选项均为及物动词，有的作不及物动词使用上也不能作连系动词。experience经历；change改变；develop发展；become变成。
4 C 常识运用 Washoe作为被研究的一种动物，和人所交换的只能是一些较简单的信息(messages)，而不可能是有较高思维能力的感情(feelings)，观点(views)和行为(actions)。
5 A 常识运用
前后照应 sign language手势语，而口语(spoken)、外语(foreign language)、人类的语言(human language)均是无法教给Washoe的。
6 D 常识运用词义比较固定搭配 西方人乘出租车时，常竖起大拇指。这种手势语言和文中的"she wants to be picked up"是一致的。pick up拿起，捡起来，使……爬起，收集；其它选项与pick搭配语义均与文意不符。pick out挑选；pick at用手指弹；pick on嘲笑，欺侮。
7 A 语句连贯 其它选项虽均可引起时间状语从句，但都表示不同的意思。while表示一段较长的时间，所引起的时间状语从句所表示的动作往往与主句谓语动作同时发生。而when既可以表示一段时间，也可以表示点时间。这一句和上一句是平行结构的两句。
8 B 逻辑推理词义比较 经过"训练"，黑猩猩才具备思考和解决问题的能力。再则根据前文"doing a research on her"，"has been learning"，"teaching her sign language"等提示可知应选trained(被训练)，而不是被饲养(raised)、
