21、re 15 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D at the end of the passage. You should choose ONE answer that best fits into the passage. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the answer sheet.Do Animals Think?The question has often been asked, Do ani

22、mals think? I believe that some of them think a great deal. Many of them are like children in their sports. We notice this _36_ very often with dogs and cats; but it is true with other animals as well.Some birds are very lively in their sports; and the same is true with some insects. The ants, hardw

23、orking as they are, have their times for play. They run races; they wrestle; and sometimes they have _37_ together. Very busy must be their thoughts while they are engaged in these sports.There are many animals, however, that never play; their thoughts seem to be of _38_ kind. We never see frogs eng

24、aged in sport. They all the time appear to be very grave. The same is true of the owl, who always looks _39_ some important question.Animals think much while building their houses. The bird searches for _40_ in building its nest, and in doing this it thinks. The beavers think as they build their dam

25、s and their houses. They think in getting their materials, and also _41_ them, and in plastering them together with mud. Some spiders build houses which could scarcely have been made except by some thinking creature.As animals think, they learn. Some learn more than others. The parrot learns to talk

26、, though in some other respects it is quite stupid. The mocking bird learns to imitate _42_ different sounds. The horse is not long in learning many things connected with the work which he has to do. The shepherd dog does not know as much about most things as _43_ , and yet he understands very well

27、how to take care of sheep.Though animals think and learn, they do not make any real improvement in their ways of doing things, as men do. Each kind of bird has its own way of building a nest, and it is always the same way. And so of other animals. They have no new fashion, and learn none from each o

28、ther. But men, as you know, _44_ new ways of building houses, and improved methods of doing almost all kinds of labor.Many of the things that animals know _45_ they seem to know either without learning, or in some way which we cannot understand. They _46_ such things by instinct; but no one can tell

29、 what distinct is. It is by this distinct _47 _ birds build their nests and beavers their dams and huts. If these things were all planned and thought out just as men plan new houses, there would be some changes in the fashions of them, and some improvements.I have spoken of the building instinct of

30、beavers. An English gentleman caught a young one and put him at first in a cage. After a while he _48_ where there was a great variety of things. As soon as he was let out he began to exercise his building instinct. He gathered together whatever he could find, brushes, baskets, boots, clothes, stick

31、s, bits of coal, etc., and arranged them as if to build a dam. Now, if he had had his wits about him, he _49_ that there was no use in building a dam where there was no water.It is plain that, while animals learn about things by their senses as we do, they do not think nearly as much about what they learn, and this is the reason why they do not improve more rapidly. Even the wisest of them, as the elephant and the dog, do not think very much about what they see and hear. Nor is this all. There are some thin
