From the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions. It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating, and which are to be avoided; when to attack and when to run away. The animal is , in fact , playing a very dangerous game with its environment , a game in which it must make decision—a matter of life or death .
Animals’ ability to act reasonably is believed to come partly from what we may call “genetic (遗传性的)learning” , which is different from the individual (个体的) learning that an animal does in the course of its own lifetime . Genetic learning is learning by a
species —animals of the same kind—as a whole , and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to act in the right way . However, the role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future environment is to the past. The more important individual experience is likely to be, the less important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game. Because most animals live in ever changing environments from one generation to the next, it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning.
In the great majority of animals , their particular ways of acting in a new environment are a compound (复合体) of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with .That is why animals can survive.
72．The animal’s life will come to an end .
A．if the animal makes a wrong decision B．if the animal plays a dangerous game
C．when the animal attacks its enemy D．when the animal runs too slowly
73．Very few species depend entirely on genetic learning because .
A．each generation has its own way of learning
B．their environments change all the time
C．they can act reasonably on their own
D．it takes their whole life to learn
74．When the environment doesn’t change much, .
A．animals cannot act in a right way
B．genetic learning is less important for animals
C．individual learning plays a less important role
D．animals cannot get over problems on their on their own
75．Animals’ living on generation after generation depends on .
A．their natural action pattern with their own experience
B．the lessons they have learnt during their lifetime
C．their experience in particular environments
D．the knowledge passed on by their parents 72.A 73.B 74.C 75.A

(答案→)72.A 73.B 74.C 75.A 解析：72.解析：根据第一段最后一句“...must make decisions－a matter of life or death”可知如果选择错了就会死掉。73.解析：这是一道细节题。根据“...animals live in ever changing environments...it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning”这句可知多数动物都生活在一直变化的环境中，所以很少有生物完全依赖遗传性的学习。74.解析：因为遗传性学习的作用依赖于环境变化程度，所以环境变化小，那遗传性学习作用就大。75.解析：这是一道推断题。根据最后一段“...are a compound of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with.That is why animals can survive.”可知物种的生存依赖于本能和生存经验。
