B.Rite Aid.C.WalMart. D.Anorex.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“Zantrex3 is also sold at CVS，Rite Aid，WalMart，and other chains”可知，A、B、C项为连锁店的名称。答案：D3.The underlined part in the first paragraph is most likely similar in meaning to.A.it is difficult to say how successful Zantrex3 isB.you cant overstate the success of Zantrex3C.you cant think too highly of the success of Zantrex3D.Zantrex3 is not very successful解析：词义推测题。从划线部分所在句及下句可知，Zantrex3是美国市场很畅销的减肥类商品；根据构词法可知overstate有“夸张、夸张事实”的意思，因此划线部分可理解为“怎么夸张都但是分的成功”，故选C项。答案：C4.The text mainly tells us.A.that Britney Spears was found taking weightloss pills with herB.how Zantrex3 became successful in the USC.weightloss pills are very popular in the USD.Zantrex3 is forbidden to be sold on the US market解析：主旨大意题。短文以Britney Spears的新闻引出减肥药Zantrex3，继而简介了美国减肥药热售的状况，故选C项。答案：CBMany of us would love to think that animals can communicate.But there are some others that doubt it.The idea that some chimps(黑猩猩)can be taught to use some symbols does not imply that they possess basic language abilities comparable to humans.In fact，they can communicate，but only in basic ways.The belief that animals can communicate using language seems to come from two sources.One lies in a mistaken image of evolution(进化)as a linear process.In this model，humans are the most evolved and it makes sense to think that perhaps chimps have a slightly less evolved speaking ability than we do but that it can be pushed along with some human help.However，that linear model of evolution is wrong.Evolution is a branching theory.Starting from some original form，it branched out into other forms，and these in turn branched out into yet more forms and so on.Although all existing species have evolved from some earlier forms，none of the existing species is more evolved than the others.All existing species have the same evolutionary status.Some efforts to teach animals language skills seem to stem from a sense of misguided totality.It is as if the more features we share with animals，the closer we feel we are to them and the better we are likely to treat them.It is undoubtedly true that the more we understand some other living thing，the more empathy(共鸣)we have for it.But the solution to that is to have empathy for all living creatures，and not try to convince ourselves that we are alike in some specific ways.语篇解读：本文作者重要就“动物可以用语言交流”这一观点刊登自己的见解。5.Some chimps can.A.develop basic language abilitiesB.have welldeveloped memoriesC.communicate in basic waysD.understand each other in words解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话“In fact，they can communicate，but only in basic ways.”可知，动物只能用某些最基本的方式交流。答案：C6.What is one of the sources of the belief that animals can talk？A.Evolution is a linear process.B.Evolution is a branching process.C.Existing life forms are magical.D.Each animal has its own character.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句话“The belief that animals can communicate using language seems to come from two sources.One lies in a mistaken image of evolution(进化)as a linear process.”可知，觉得“进化是一种直线发展过程”的见解是觉得动物能说话的理论基本。答案：A7.The author thinks that animals.A.cant understand human beings at allB.cant communicate using languageC.have less developed speaking abilitiesD.have much in common with human beings解析：推理判断题。根据第二段第二句话“One lies in a mistaken image of evolution(进化)as a linear process.”和第四段第一句话“Some efforts to teach animals language skills seem to stem from a sense of misguided totality.”可以推断出作者是不赞成“动物能说话”这个观点的。答案：B8.The underlined word“that”in the last paragraph refers to.A.the feature we share with other animalsB.the feeling of closeness with animalsC.the closeness with some other living thingD.the empathy for a particular living thing解析：词意理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句话“It is undoubtedly true that the more we understand some other living thing，the more empathy(共鸣)we have for it.”可知，“that”在这里指和某一动物产生共鸣。答案：D
