It was believed that only humans could imagine(想象) the future. Some people said that most monkeys were cleverer than most dogs. What’s more, if dogs seemed unhappy when they did something bad, some people believed that dogs learnt such an action to make their owners happy. It doesn’t mean that dogs understand why their owners are angry. It doesn’t mean that animals can think about the future. Now, however, it appears that chimpanzees and monkeys may be able to think about the future. Santino is a chimpanzee and he lives at a zoo in Sweden. He is famous for his bad mood. Santino doesn’t like being looked at by visitors and he often throws stones at them. Before visitors walk into the zoo, he must have decided if he is prepared for visiting days. He begins collecting stones so that he is fully ready to throw them when people come to see him. The interesting thing is that Santino would only collect stones when he thinks visitors might come. In winter when the zoo is closed, he doesn’t collect them. Santino’s action is a clear example of an animal planning for the future. It’s also an example to show “scientific” beliefs come from facts rather than opinions(观点). It seems likely that within ten years, we shall have a completely different view of animal intelligence(智慧). ( )11. What did scientists think of animals before? A. They could think about the future. B. They couldn’t understand their owners. C. They couldn’t know the right and wrong. ( )12. Why does Santino collect many stones? A. Because he wants to throw them at visitors. B. Because he likes to play with stones. C. Because the keeper asks him to do so. ( )13. Which paragraph gives an example to show animals can also plan for the future? A. Paragraph 1. B. Paragraph 2. C. Paragraph 3. ( )14. What does the writer want to tell us? A. We should use facts to show truth instead of opinions. B. Dogs can understand their owners’ feelings. C. Only human-like animals can think about the future. 三、阅读还原。 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Have you heard of China travel? These days, the phrase is becoming very hot on the social media abroad. More and more foreign visitors like Baobaoxiong, who created the phrase “city 不 city”, are visiting China and posting their travel videos on the social media.
