34、in which many or all people live and think in the same ways”所以文化是指一个团体或社会中大多数人共有的思维和生活方式。但这并不说明所有的人都具备这样的行为或思维方式。3.Although culture is only specific to humans, non-human animals also have cultural behaviors.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Y）解析：虽然文化是人类特有的，根据第十段“Humans are not alone in their ability to learn b

38、ation although some animals such as chimpanzees can be trained to develop certain amount of vocabularies.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Y）解析：第六段的第一句话“Language provides a means to store，process，and communicate amounts of information that vastly exceed the capabilities of nonhuman animals”是这一段的中心句，指出“语言是存贮、处理

39、、交流信息的主要方式，动物没有这种能力”，并且用 chimpanzees的例子说明尽管有些动物如猩猩能够掌握一些词汇，但它们生来不具备用符号交流的能力。7.Nonhuman animals have no culture because they dont have a developed brain.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：NG）解析：文中设有指明动物没有文化的原因是因为它们大脑不发达。8.Four distinguishing characteristics of culture are mentioned in the passage.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:

40、_ （正确答案：Y）解析：文中提到的文化的四个特点是“culture is symbolic，learned，shared and adaptive”9.Apart from language, the passage gives another example of symbolic communication, which is 1.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：art）解析：第三段第三句话“Language and other forms of symbolic communication，such as art，enable people to create，expla
