B
Scientists have known for a long time that humans and other apes(类人猿) have many physical similarities.Now, new research has shown that we may also share a language because we use the same physical gestures(手势) to communicate.
Researchers already knew that great apes use more than 80 gestures to communicate with each other.Touching each other, or holding hands is a way of greeting, while pointing their fingers down beside them means “come here”.The apes might also ask for food from each other by cupping(做杯状) a hand under another ape's face.
To test whether humans can understand these gestures, some scientists from the University of St Andres in Scotland brought 5,656 volunteers together.The scientists showed them 20 videos of apes making gestures.After watching each video, the volunteers had to guess what the ape's gestures were communicating.The scientists gave some information to one group of volunteers, letting them know what the apes had been doing before they made each gesture.This group correctly guessed the meaning of the gestures 57% of the time.The other people, who were not given information about the ape's activities, still succeeded 52% of the time.This suggests that humans seem to understand what apes' gestures mean.
Scientists need to do more work to find out exactly why humans understand the gestures.Researcher Kirsty Graham said that both humans and apes probably inherited(继承) the gestures from our last common ancestor.It is also possible that although humans have a spoken language, we kept our ability to use gestures to communicate.“In the future, we hope to learn more about how gestures develop through the apes' lifetimes,” Dr Graham added.
( C )4.What does an ape probably mean by holding another ape's hands?

D.Saying “goodbye”.
( B )5.How does the writer show the results of the research in Paragraph 3?
A.By raising questions.

D.By telling a story.
( D )6.Why do people seem to understand some of the apes' gestures according to Graham?
A.Because scientists have studied apes for quite a long time.
B.Because humans use gestures to communicate with apes.
C.Because the apes learn the gestures from the scientists.
D.Because humans and apes share a last common ancestor.
( B )7.What will the researchers study in the future according to Graham?
A.In what other ways apes can communicate.
B.How gestures change through apes' lives.
C.How humans communicate with gestures.
D.What similarities humans share with apes.
