B

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

ood 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 parents’ divorce, I spent weekends with my dad

in Ohio. By the time Sunday rolled around, I was unable to e

njoy 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.

C

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 (

乐谱

)

，

just 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 of 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 G

AP

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 unti

l insects are granted “ human rights

people without fundamental human rights. How long 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.
