It is possible（for sb）to do sth.2. It is possible that從句.二. probable表示有幾分根據(jù)的推測，比possible表示的可能性大。換句話說，probable的“有可能”，是指有實際的依據(jù)或邏輯上合乎情理。一般不用表人的詞作主語。常用結構有：1. Sth. is probable.2. It is probable that從句.三. likely強調(diào)表面上看來有可能，與probable意思接近，有時可以互換，但likely常暗示從表面跡象判斷；probable則經(jīng)過權衡正反兩方面的理由后而相信某事是真實的或大概會發(fā)生。常用結構有：1. 主語（人或物）is likely to do sth.2. It is likely that從句。

考點：考查形容詞。

Most people agree that honesty is a good thing. But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can’t talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior?

Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.

Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator (獵食動物) gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.

Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.

Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don’t make nests. Instead, they get into other birds’ nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.

Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner’s hand and start fighting again.

Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don’t hear them, and they don’t need to share their food.

As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either.
