第1题请选择(1)处最佳答案（）。
A．Suppose
B．Consider
C．Observe
D．Imagine
正确答案：B【正确答案】B
【考查重点】语义衔接/词汇辨析
【解题过程】本题目选择动词，放在祈使句句首。选项A．suppose认为，假定;B．consider考虑;C．observe观察;D．imagine想象。文章开篇指出：Researchonanimalintelligencealwaysmakesuswonderjusthowsmarthumansare.“对动物智慧的研究总是让我对人类到底有多聪明感到好奇”，接着举了果蝇的例子，该句要选择的动词应与上句在语义上衔接。用consider意为“让读者考虑一下(果蝇实验)”，从而引出下文，其他选项均不符合题意。
