七、阅读理解 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。（本题共20分，第1小题2分，第2—7小题每题3分。）
Human beings act in a different way from that of animals just because they can speak while animals cannot.Even the cleverest animals cannot do things which to us seem very simple and which small children, as soon as they learn to talk ,would be able to do .
A German scientist,who made experiments for many years with big apes,found that his apes could use sticks as tools to pull down bananas which they could not reach.But they only used the stick to get a banana when both the stick and the banana were in view at the same time.If the banana was in front of them and the stick was behind them,they could not use the stick.They could not bear the banana in mind long enough to look around and pick up the stick and then use it.
The reason for this is clear.We have words for banana and stick which help us to think about these things when they are not in sight.Even a small child knowing the words "banana"and "stick"has an idea of their relationship(关系)and is able to think of "stick" together with"banana"and to remember this long enough to pick the stick from behind and use it on the banana.
Unable to speak,animals cannot keep their knowledge of things for long.That is why they often interrupt one line of action to do something else and later forget it completely.Human beings,on the other hand,use language and are able to go after one thing continuously and do it with a definite aim.
1.Clever animals can do all the things that small children can do ,can't they?
2.Do human beings and animals act in the same way?Why?
3.What did the German scientist do to find out that some animals could use tools to get food?
4.The apes always knew how to get the banana when they saw either the banana or the stick. Is that true?
5.Under what conditions could the apes use the stick to get bananas?
6.Why can children bear the banana and the stick in mind?
7.What is the difference between human beings and animals in doing things as mentioned in the last paragraph?
