DIn a fascinating discovery,western lowland gorillas (at Zoo Atlanta have been caughtsummoning their keepers using a strange cough-sneeze mixture,which researchers have called a "snough".Only two other species have displayed this ability to create new vocalizations to attract our attention:zoo-housed chimpanzees and orangutans.Now,we can add gorillas to that list.As many of us know,Koko put a spotlight on gorilla intelligence in the 1980s and 1990s with herincredible ability to communicate with humans using sign language.She was trained and worked hard at it,but now it seems gorillas have taken it upon themselves to establish unique communication with us in theirown way.Roberta Salmi,a biological anthropologist at the University of Georgia,and colleagues ran anexperiment to confirm the purpose of the "snough",by placing eight of the zoo's gorillas in three differentsituations.In the first,only the keeper was present;in the second only the food was present;in the final one,the keeper was holding the food.The food and keeper were in sight but out of reach.The gorillas involvedused the "snough"vocalization most when there was a human present with food,indicating the call is likelyan attempt to get the keeper's attention.This complex vocal learning-the ability to produce unique calls-is rare in the animal kingdom andconfirmed only in some species of birds,bats and elephants.But they all do so by imitating.The analysisshowed the gorilla's "snough"is a unique sound,not an imitation-although they are certainly capable ofimitating us in other ways."These results demonstrate that gorillas can change their calls to produce a novel sound andfurthermore confirm that they can produce their calls and gestures intentionally to change the attention stateof their caregiver,"the team concluded in their paper.We've clearly long underestimated these clever souls.32.Which of the following can replace "summoning"underlined in paragraph 1?A.pleasingB.calling.C.findingD.warning33.How did the researchers carry out the research?A.By ordering the gorillas to make the "snough"vocalization.B.By training the gorillas to attract their keepers'attention.C.By comparing the gorillas'reactions in different situationsD.By gathering information about the gorillas from their keepers.34.Why does the author mention some other animals in paragraph 4?A.To illustrate gorillas can imitate humans in other ways.B.To confirm only gorillas have the ability to produce unique callsC.To prove the animals can produce unique calls through imitation.D.To show gorillas'ability to invent the new vocalization is uncommon.35.What can be inferred from the research?A.Some animals have the ability to make new sounds.B.Gorillas can create a new sound to draw zookeepers'attention.C.Some intelligent animals try to attract attention by imitating.D.Gorillas are able to communicate with humans using unique gestures.高一英语学科试题第6页（共10页）
