　　文章大意：獼猴學(xué)會洗甜薯并得以流傳的現(xiàn)象。

　　36. 【解析】通過觀察選項(xiàng)，本空要填一個名詞，而該名詞在本文中首次出現(xiàn)。根據(jù)完形填空的考查內(nèi)容為上下文銜接，所以，本題答案必然在后文有所提及。通過“第一步通覽全文”我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，在第二段第一句里有提到“by washing the sweet potatoes in a nearby river”，這樣，我們可以得出本題答案為A。

　　【答案】A

　　37. 【解析】本題考查的是搭配，說甘薯的味道好，猴子們喜歡，但是他們發(fā)現(xiàn)dirt的味道不好。從but我們知道，本空所在的“they found the dirt 37 .”要表達(dá)與前半句的意思不同，而描寫味道的形容詞就只能是terrible了。因此，本題答案為B。

　　【答案】B

　　38.【解析】本題考查了搭配，“解決問題”的表達(dá)為“solve the problem”。所以本題答案為C。

　　【答案】C

　　39.【解析】本題的關(guān)鍵在于看出后半句they的指代對象。由于后半句“and they taught their mothers too”由此可知，這個“they”并非she的孩子或兄弟姐妹。所以本題答案為D。

　　【答案】D

　　40.【解析】本題的關(guān)鍵在下一句，“But many older monkey found it very hard to learn this”，這是一個轉(zhuǎn)折，所以前面應(yīng)該容易，所以本題答案為easily，答案為B。

　　【答案】B

　　41.【解析】本題可以說考查常識，一個甘薯經(jīng)過清洗之后會變得更加干凈，而不會變小、變輕、變干。所以本題答案為A。

　　【答案】A

　　42.【解析】年老的猴子不會洗甘薯，所以它們?nèi)匀怀耘K的甘薯。所以本題答案為D。

　　【答案】D

　　43.【解析】本題考查短語的意思與文章的連貫，take on是“承擔(dān)”的意思，take off是“脫下”或“起飛”，take place是“發(fā)生”，take away是“帶走”。所以本題答案為C。

　　【答案】C

　　44.【解析】本空的答案也隱藏在文章最后一句話“…from island to island”。由此可知，本題答案為B。

　　【答案】B

　　45.【解析】本題考查詞的意思與文章的搭配。Lost是“喪失”，drop是“掉落”，pass是“傳遞，傳播”，leave是“離開”或“遺留”，所以本題答案為C。

　　【答案】C

　　例2
