of transport.The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noises with our mouths，and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each others minds.This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle(奇迹)it is.Obviously，the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals.Of course，some animals have powers just as amazing.Birds can fly thousands of miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year.In Natures talent show，humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act.If we reduce it to basic terms，its an ability for communicating information to others by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.Not that we dont have other powers of communication.Our facial expressions convey our emotions，such as anger，or joy，or disappointment.The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad.This is socalled“body languageBristling(直立的)fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals.Similarly，the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals，including human beings，instinctively acquire and display.Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct？If so，how did human beings acquire this amazing skill？Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function，but this doesnt tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.1According to the passage，the

mouth解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的表达可知，我们每天都在用语言交流我们的思想感情，这可谓是一个奇迹，但是因其自然流露，我们完全无视了它的功能与作用，想当然地认为就像是这个样子。D项有一定干扰性，但表达不完全。答案：A2What feature of“body languagementioned in the passage is common to both humans and animals?ALifting heads when sad.BKeeping long faces when angry.CBristling hair when ready to attack.DBowing heads when willing to obey.解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“Similarly，the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.可知，俯首是人和动物表示服从的共同之处。答案：D3This passage is mainly about _.Athe development of body languageBthe special role humans play in natureCthe power to convey information to othersDthe difference between humans and animals in language use
