【解析】

【語篇解讀】這篇短文介紹了科學家做實驗來證明那種動物比別的動物聰明。科學家把一只猴子放在房間里，觀察他們多久能找到食物。

第一處：根據后面的than可知，從此運用了比較級，指“科學家做實驗來證明那種動物比別的動物聰明”。故clever改為cleverer或more clever。

第二處：此處指某一間屋子里，并非特指。故the改為a。

第三處：根據后面的several boxes可知，謂語應該用復數形式。故was改為were。

第四處：文章講述過去的事情，應該用一般過去時態。故have改為had。

第五處：文章講述過去的事情，應該用一般過去時態。故will改為would。

第六處：wait是不及物動詞，但是其后面沒有賓語，所以不再加介詞for。故刪去for。

第七處：get down on one’s knees是固定搭配，指“跪下”的意思。故down后面加on。

第八處：全文看出，這是一位女科學家。故her改為his。

第九處：此處指“看進猴子的眼睛里”，而不是看著。故at改為into。

第十處：分析句意可知，此處運用了過去進行時態。故looks改為looking。
