18、，they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones.The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not，even though they spent more time watching.This mismatch between collecting so

25、們不善于與他人溝通或太膽怯而不能利用所得到的信息，那么會阻礙以社會學(xué)習(xí)為基礎(chǔ)的文化的形成。1A解析：推理判斷題。第一段描述了研究人員如何開展這一研究的具體細節(jié)：把新奇的食物和熟悉的食物藏在一個盒子里，有些狒狒有機會觀看另外一只狒狒是如何完成任務(wù)的，而另外一些狒狒則不得不自學(xué)完成任務(wù)，因此選A項“卡特博士研究的設(shè)計”，而非研究的“結(jié)果”“目的”或“重要性”。2D解析：細節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段中The braver baboons learnt，but the shy ones did not learn.及第三段中The anxious individuals learnt.while thos
