【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。
