小试牛刀
Q1: Does Emma like animals?

Q2: Why does Emma like monkeys?

1. Yes, she does.
2. Because monkeys are clever.

【分析】首先明确对话中B是Emma，针对两个问题分别定位对话中的对应信息：Q1询问Emma是否喜欢动物，需找到Emma关于喜好动物的回答；Q2询问Emma喜欢猴子的原因，需定位Emma说明喜欢猴子理由的表述。
【解析】Q1：对话中Emma（B）明确回答“Yes, I do.”，对应一般疑问句的肯定回答，主语为第三人称单数Emma，助动词用does，故答案为Yes, she does。Q2：对话中Emma说明喜欢猴子的原因是“Because they are clever.”，转换为匹配问题的表述，即Because monkeys are clever。
【答案】1. Yes, she does. 2. Because monkeys are clever.
【知识点】一般疑问句回答、原因表述
【点评】本题考查对话细节的提取，难度较低，只需准确定位原文对应信息即可作答，适合基础英语学习者巩固对话理解能力。
