文章中有些论点/观点没有明确阐述，但却强烈暗示出来了。

托福推论题虽然是传统题型，但难度很大，学员需要针对推论所提问的所在段有一个透彻的了解，对前后文逻辑有一个清晰的理解，不要被作者的表相所迷惑，分析题目的同时将主要内容提炼出来，答案就一目了然了。

以下两道题为例

Animal behaviorists believe the orangutan is a cultured ape, able to learn new living habits and to pass them along to the next generation. Some orangutan parents teach their young to use leaves as napkins, while others demonstrate the technique of getting water from a hole by dipping a branch in and then licking the leaves. Orangutans have been observed saying goodnight with die gift of a juicy raspberry. Such social interactions lead researchers to conclude that if orangutans have culture then the capacity to learn culture is very ancient.

In the evolutionary timeline, orangutans separated from the ancestors of humans many millions of years ago, and they may have had culture before they separated. The discovery of orangutan culture suggests that early primates—including ancestors of humans -might have developed the ability to invent new behaviors, such as tool use, as early as 14 million years ago, approximately 6 million years earlier than once believed.

What can be inferred from paragraph I about social interactions related to teaching and learning?

A. They arc behaviors that only orangutan have displayed.

B. They are misunderstood by animal behaviorists.

C. They indicate similarities between orangutans and other apes.

D. They provide evidence that orangutans have culture.

解析：第一句的主旨就是讲orangutans是否有文化的问题，并且最后一句是总结句。

所以选D

Which of following can be inferred from paragraph 2?

A. The ancestors of humans learned culture from orangutans.

B. Orangutans were more advanced than most other early primates.

C. Primate culture may be older than scientists used to believe.

D. Scientists have found orangutan tools that are 6 million years old.
