【解析】

试题分析：本人讲述了每个人都有个性，就连动物也是如此。接下来列举了很多有个性的动物。比如说会自己按门铃的猫，会说话的鹦鹉，还有一些有个性的大星星们。

1.

2.A cat called Phoenix一只名叫凤凰的猫，chimpanzees大猩猩，one parrot，named Alex一只名叫亚历克斯的鹦鹉，故选A。

3.

4.That may be because not many cats have the same personality as Phoenix．那可能是因为没有那么多想凤凰一样有个性的猫。所以可以知道买的人并不多，而门铃是可数名词，故选B。

5.Another chimpanzee called Alafia looked for a pumpkin she could fit over her head．Congo，a chimpanzee from South Africa，chose a pumpkin with a face he liked best．另一只叫做Alafia的猩猩选择了最适合她的脑袋的南瓜。一只来自南非的叫Congo的猩猩，选了个他最喜欢的南瓜脸。所以要看一看如何挑选南瓜，故选D。

6.Jumoke的猩猩花了很多的时间选出了最大的南瓜。AIt takes sb some time/some money to do sth B sth cost sb some money. C sb spend some time /some money on sth/(in )doing sth D 制作，ABC都是花费的含义。根据结构，故选C。

9.If his owner asks，“Alex，what color is corn?”Alex answers，“Yellow．”如果他的主人问：“亚历克斯，这个玉米是什么颜色的？”，亚历克斯回答：“黄色”。故选D。
