【解析】你相信大象會(huì)畫畫嗎？但這是真的。這只名叫Kelly 19歲的非洲大象從去年開始已經(jīng)畫了100多幅畫，為動(dòng)物園產(chǎn)生了3500多美元的效益。報(bào)紙爭(zhēng)相報(bào)道，人們也開始買它做的畫。

1.推理判斷題。從文章來(lái)看，這是一篇新聞報(bào)道，所以應(yīng)該是從報(bào)紙上看到到的。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文中“Zoo workers watched her make the marks in the sand with her trunk”可知。

3.推理判斷題。動(dòng)物能畫畫這是一個(gè)很大的新聞，讓人們感到很好玩。

4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文中“She rubbed out the marks, then made the new ones.“可知。

5.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文中的最后一段可知，Kelly畫畫需要在工作人員的幫助下才能完成。
