閱讀下面短文，從每小題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
Name a female celebrity who is 5'2" and weighs 280 pounds.
Give up? It's Koko, the world's best known living gorilla(大猩猩).
Koko is impressive. But it's her brains, not physical strength, that have earned her fame. This ape is smart!
Koko was born on July 4, 1971. As a baby at the San Francisco Zoo, she was introduced to Francine “Penny” Patterson, a graduate psychology student specializing in communication. Penny wanted to try to teach Koko sign language. The zoo gave her the green light.
Under Penny's guidance, Koko eventually mastered over a thousand words in a certain form of American Sign Language. Surprisingly, Koko also demonstrated she could combine these signs to express thoughts and feelings. Both she and Penny soon became media favorites. But the experiment led to another unexpected result: Penny and Koko developed a deep emotional bond.
No one was more amazed by this than Penny.“I was expecting an animal project and thought I could easily leave it after four years,” she admits. “But what I ended up with was a daughter. And you can't leave your daughter after four years.”
In 1976 Penny and others founded The Gorilla Foundation. TGF's mission is to “bring interspecies(物種間) communication to the public, in order to save gorillas from dying out, and call on our children to create a better future for all the great apes”. Since then, TGF has fought hard to prevent the hunting of gorillas for meat.
As the numbers of wild gorillas are few, Koko remains childless. She has rejected all suitors(求婚者) so far, focusing her love as a mother instead on her cat, Smoky.
Will Koko finally find “Mr. Right”? Only time will tell. Until then, Smoky is likely to remain the world's only cat who thinks of a gorilla as “Mom”!
1．The fact about the gorilla is that ________.
[ ]
A．it is not big enough since it has a height of 5'2" and a weight of 280 pounds
B．it is the only living gorilla in the San Francisco Zoo
C．it is so clever that it can communicate with people through Sign Language
D．it has lost its nature so that it has refused all the suitors
2．The reason why Penny was able to succeed in teaching Koko was that ________.
[ ]
A．she loved animals and took Koko for her own daughter
B．the zoo gave her the permission to train Koko
C．she worked for many years in the zoo and knew Koko well enough
D．she was specialized in communication
3．The underlined words “emotional bond” may have the meaning of ________.
[ ]
A．mother-daughter love
B．trainer-learner care
C．human-animal friendship
D．gorilla-cat relationship
4．Which statement of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
[ ]
A．Penny did not expect it would be hard for her to part Koko after four years' experiment.
B．Penny set up TGF in order to protect gorillas from being killed.
C．Smoky has all the time looked on Koko as her mother.
D．Koko will find “Mr. Right” when she is set free into the wild.

D．However, today, more and more consumers are choosing“green”and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment．Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these：“Will this shampoo damage the environment?”“Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?”
E．Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds．Some supermarket products carry labels(
標(biāo)簽)to show that the product is green．Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造)of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising．F．The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business．No longer will the public accept the old attitude of“Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it．”The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act．
