13April词汇

从以下选项中选择最合适的词语:

That people _____ the musical features of birdsongs suggests that despite the vast evolutionary gulf between birds and mammals, songbirds and humans share some common auditory perceptual abilities.

A mimic   B recognize  C relish   D are confounded by   E can make out  F are puzzled by

参考答案:E can make out

解析:这一句英文的后半部分意思是,虽然鸟类与哺乳动物之间的进化差异非常大,不过,鸟鸣与人在听觉认知能力上是有共通之处的。那么,反过来推断the people与musical features of birdsongs 之间是行为什么关系呢? 人类对乐器演奏的鸟鸣声有什么样的认知能力呢?那肯定的“辨别”能力。make out的意思是“辨别”,“听出”,即If you make something out, you manage with difficulty to see or hear it.
