第二节 阅读短文,从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,其中有一个多余的选项。
When it comes to making friends, humans often look for people with similar interests or personalities. According to a recent study, so do flamingos.
17. D
Scientist Dr. Paul Rose has already noticed that flamingos seem to form groups. He teamed up with Fionnuala McCully, a scientist in animal behavior. 18. E They studied both Chilean and Caribbean flamingos living in a nature reserve in Gloucestershire, England.
Each bird wore a ring around one leg with a special code(编码), so that the scientists could tell them apart. McCully spent months studying their behavior and recording their personalities. She found that aggressive(好斗的)flamingos intimidate(恐吓)others in their friendship groups, while the quieter birds do not. 19. C McCully and Rose found that for the Caribbean birds, personality seemed to matter more in friendships than it did for Chilean flamingos. They found this surprising because the two species are very similar in many ways.
The scientists said that it's important to keep flamingos in a large group so that all personality types are included and each flamingo has the chance to find a like-minded friend. “Humans require friendships to be happy. 20. A” McCully and Rose said.
