They feel pain, they experience stress, and they show affection, excitement and love. All these findings have been made by s

37、cientists in recent years and such results are beginning to change how we view animals. Strangely enough, this research was sponsored by fast food companies like McDonalds and KFC. Pressured by animal rights groups, these companies felt they had to fund scientists researching the emotional and menta

38、l states of animals. McDonalds, for instance, funded studies on pig behaviors at Purdue University, Indiana. This research found that pigs seek affection and easily become depressed if left alone or prevented from playing with each other. If they become depressed, they soon become physically ill. Be

39、cause of this, and other similar studies, the European Union has banned the use of isolating pig stalls from 2012. In Germany, the government is encouraging pig farmers to give each pig 20 seconds of human contact a day, and to provide them with toys to prevent them from fighting. Other scientists h

40、ave shown that animals think and behave like humans. Koko, the 300-pound gorilla (大猩猩 ) at the Gorilla Foundation in Northern California, for instance, has been taught sign language. Koko can now understand several thousand English words, more than many humans who speak English as a second language.

41、 On human IQ tests, she scores between 70 and 95. Before such experiments, humans thought language skills were absent from the animal kingdom. Other myths are also being overturned, like the belief that animals lack self-awareness. Studies have also shown that animals mourn their dead, and that they

42、 play for pleasure. These striking similarities between animal and human behavior have led some to ask a question: “If you believe in evolution, how cant you believe that animals have feelings that human beings have?“ Until recently, scientists believed that animals behaved by instinct and that what

43、 appeared to be learned behavior was merely genetically-programmed activity. But as Koko the Gorilla shows, this is not the case. In fact, learning is passed from parents to offspring far more often than not in the animal kingdom. So what implications does this knowledge have for humans? Because of

44、this, should we ban hunting and animal testing? Should we close zoos? Such questions are being raised by many academics and politicians. Harvard and 25 other American law schools have introduced courses on animal rights. 51 The author feels it strange that the research was sponsored by fast food com

45、panies like McDonalds and KFC probably because these companies_. （ A） are the largest fast food chains in the world （ B） have little to do with animals （ C） consume a large amount of meat each day （ D） are notorious for their ill-treatment to animals 52 The experiment with Koko shows （ A） gorillas I

47、veloped language skills. （ B） Some animals can show their feelings. （ C） Animals enjoy playing with each other. （ D） Animals become indifferent when one of them dies. 54 By citing the question “If you believe in evolution, how cant you believe that animals have feelings that human beings have?“ the

48、author means （ A） human feelings can trace their origin back to animals_. （ B） animalss feelings are as developed as human beings （ C） from the point of view of evolution animals should have no feelings （ D） we cannot believe that animals have feelings that human beings have 55 The studies urge us t
