This is my son Matthew’s last night at home before college. I know that this is good news. I

feel proud that Matthew will go to a great school. I know that this is his finest hour. But looking at

the suitcases on his bed sends me out of the room to a hidden corner where I can stop crying.

Through

the

sorrow,

I

feel

a

rising

embarrassment.

“

Pull

yourself

togethe

r!”

I

tell

mysel

f.

There are parents sending their kids off to battle zones. How dare I feel so shattered

One of the great gifts of my life has been having my boys

，

Matthew and Johnowea. Through

them, I have explored the mysterious, complicated bond between fathers and sons. As my wife and

I raised them, I have discovered the love and loss between my father and me. After my par

ents’

divorce, I spent weekends with my dad in Ohio. By the time Sunday rolled around, I was unable to

enjoy the day

’

s activities because I was already afraid of the goodbye of the evening.

Now,

standing

among

Matthew’s

accumulation

of

possessions,

I

realize

it’s

me

who

has

become a boy again. All my sadness and longing to hold on to things are back, sweeping over me as

they did when I was a child.

His bed is tidy and spare. It already has the feel of a guest bed. In my mind I replay wrapping

him in his favorite blanket.

That was our nightly routine until one evening he said, “Daddy, I don't

think I need a blanket tonight ”

. I think of all the times we lay among the covers reading. I look at the

bed and think of all the recent times I was annoyed at how late he was sleeping. I'll never have to

worry about that again, I realize.

For his part, Matthew has been a rock. He is treating his leaving as just another day at the office.

And I'm glad. After all, someone’s got to be strong. I' m proud that he is ch

arging into the first

chapter of his adult life with such confidence.

D. Relieved

27. Which of the following can be the best title of the text

A. Unavoidable Goodbye

Beethoven famously composed several masterpieces while he was deaf,

but

surely even he

would be impressed with this piece of research.

A group led by BCI expert Gemot Mullei Putz shows that experiences of quite a different tone

can

be

sounded

from

BCI.

Adapting

from

an

established

BCI

method

which

mainly

enables

disabled

people

to

write,

the

team

has

developed

a

new

application

by

which

music

can

be

composed and transferred (

转录

) onto a musical score (< /p>

乐谱

)

，

jus t through the power of thought.

All

you

need

is

a

special

cap

which

measures

brain

waves,

the

adapted

BCI,

a

software

for

composing music, and of course a bit of musical knowledge.

The basic principle of the BCI method used can be briefly described

：

various options, such as

letters or notes, pauses, chords, etc. flash by one after another in a table. If you

’

ve received some

training and can focus on the desired option while it lights up on a screen in front of you, you cause

a minute change in your brain waves. The BCI recognises this change and draws conclusions about

the chosen option.

Eighteen test persons had

to “think” melodies onto a musical score. All test subjects were of

sound bodily health during the study and had a certain degree of basic musical and compositional

knowledge. Following user-centered design guidelines, researchers investigated the efficiency, the

effectiveness

and

subjective

criteria.

The

subjective

criteria

evaluation

revealed

that

users

were

highly satisfied with the application.

“The results of the BCI compositions can really be heard. And

what is more important

：

the test persons enjoyed

it

. The very positive results of the study with

bodily

healthy

test

persons are

the

first

step

in

a possible

expansion

of

the BCI

composition

to

patients,

“Twenty years ago, the idea of composing a piece of music using the power o

f the mind was

unimaginable. Now we can do it, but we still need a bit more time before BCI is mature enough for

daily applications. ”

28. What do we know about the new application

A. It consists of four parts.

B. It's impractical for daily use.

C. It's based on a new method.

D. It's hard for users to handle.

29. What should the test subjects do during the test

A. Watch a screen attentively.

B. Listen to the composed melodies.

C. Make options by moving their eyes.

D. Record their feelings while composing.

30. What does the underlined word “

it

” in Paragraph 4 refer to

A. The test.

B. The musical score.

C. The study.

D. The BCI application.

31. Who will benefit most from the new application

A. BCI experts.

B. Disabled musicians

C. Music studios.

D. Learners of music.

D

Many years ago in a zoo

，

I was shocked by finding that chimpanzees (

大猩猩

) could behave in

a more civil manner than youths while youths could behave worse than them. Great apes (

类人猿

)

are always one of the favourite attractions in any zoo. The main reason for this is that they are so

similar to us.

This similarity has persuaded a group called the Great Ape Project (GAP) to campaign for

these animals to be afforded “human rights”.

This

has

resulted

in

legislation

in

New

Zealand,

which

could

mean

that

great

apes

would

become the first animals in the world with basic rights protected by the law.

Not everybody is happy with this idea, however. Scientists using animals for scientific research

fear that this is just the first stage in a process that will lead to a ban on using all animals for research.

The GAP declaration claims great apes should have “human” rights due to scientific evidence

about their abilities. But if we compare the abilities of humans and great apes, then why not the

abilities

of

great

apes

and

monkeys,

monkeys

and

lemurs,

and

so

on

until

insects

are

granted

“ human rights

ago, for example, did women not have the right to vote

Yet another argument by those who don

’

t support GAP is that the human-like qualities of the

great apes have been exaggerated for certain reasons, and that this has led people to exaggerate the

similarities but ignore the differences between humans and other great apes.

In a fascinating article entitled “What It Really Means To Be 99% Chimpanzee”

，

Jonathan

Marks points out that, although a human and a daffodil (

水仙花

) share common ancestry and their

DNA matches more than 25% of the time, it is plainly ridiculous to claim that we are one-quarter

daffodils.

He

goes

on

to

demonstrate

that,

if

looked

at

from

one

angle

，

it

is

true

that

we

are

phylogenetically

(

动

植物演化史

)

apes.

But

also

fish

from

phylogenetically

another

angle!

“Doesn’t sound quite so profound now, does it”

32. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about

A. The experience was unforgettable.

B. Chimpanzees are similar to humans.

C. Chimpanzees are very popular in the zoo.

D. Animals could behave better than humans.

33. Which of the following would the Great Ape Project most probably agree with

A. Animals should be free from any scientific research.

B. New Zealand should do more to protect the rights of apes.

C. The differences between humans and apes have been ignored.

D. Apes have adequate characteristics to be included as our equals.

34. How does the author develop his idea mainly in Paragraph 5

A. By reasoning.

B. By giving examples.

C. By making a comparison.

D. By providing scientific evidence.

35. What point does Jonathon Marks try to make in his article

A. Humans are more than one-quarter daffodil.

B. Great apes and fish are phylogenetically similar.

C. Humans are as similar to fish as they are to great apes.

D. Being 99% genetically identical matters less than thought.
