Washoe Learned American Sign Language
1.An animal that influenced scientific thought has died.A chimpanzee named Washoe and born in Africa died of natural causes late last month at the age of 42 at a research center in the American state of Washington.Washoe had become known in the scientific community arid around the world for her ability to use American sign language.She was said to be the first non-human to learn a human language.Her skills also led to debate about primates and their ability to understand language.
2.Research scientists Allen and Beatrix Gardner began teaching Washoe sign language in 1966.In 1969,the Gardners described Washoe's progress in a scientific report.The people who experimented with Washoe said she grew to understand about 250 words.For example,Washoe made signs to communicate when it was time to eat. She could request foods like apples and bananas.She also asked questions like,"Who is coming to play?"Once the news about Washoe spread,many language scientists began studies of their own into this new and exciting area of research.The whole direction of primate research changed.
3. However,critics argued Washoe only learned to repeat sign language movements from watching her teachers.They said she had never developed true language skills.Even now there are some researchers who suggest that primates learn sign language only by memory,and perform the signs only for prizes.Yet Washoe's keepers disagree.Roger Fouts is a former student of the Gardners.He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensburg,Washington.There,Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees,which are still alive.
4.Scientists like private researcher Jane Goodall believe Washoe provided new information about the mental workings of chimpanzees.Today,there are not as many scientists studying language skills with chimps.Part of the reason is that this kind of research takes a very long time.
5.Debate continues about chimps' understanding of human communication.Yet,one thing is sure一Washoe changed popular ideas about the possibilities of animal intelligence.Paragraph 2________
A:Reason Why Not Many Scientists Carry out This Research Nowadays.
B:Report about Washoe's Progress in Learning Sign Language.
C:General Information about Washoe.
D:The Gardeners' Contributions Recognized.
E:Debate on Chimps' Intelligence.
F: Washoe's Love for Three Young Chimps.答案：B解析：文章第一段主要讲述的是Washoe死亡这件事以及对Washoe概括性的介绍，因此答案应当选择选项C。
第二段主要介绍了当年Washoe学习手语的进展情况及惊人的成果，因此选项B的概括最准确。
第三段主要讲的是一些批评家对Washoe语言能力的质疑，以及Gardner 夫妇的学生对此的反驳，因此选项E“对大猩猩智慧的争论”最符合要求。
第四段只有三句话，主要讲很少人继续从事这项研究的原因是耗时太久，因而选项A总结的最正确。
文章第二段中间提到当Washoe想吃东西的时候就会做手势，因此选择C项。
文章第三段其他研究者对Gardner夫妇的看法提出了质疑，认为Washoe 并不能真正掌握语言，只是凭借记忆学习手语。因此选项A是正确的。
第三段提到Washoe被带到了Ellensburg，在那里它甚至教会了其他三只黑猩猩手语，因此选项D是正确的。
文章第一段和第二段告诉我们Washoe掌握了大量的词汇并能用手语同人交流，它是第一个能了解人类语言的非人类，因此人们自然会认为它很聪明。选项E是正确的。 -

Washoe Learned American Sign Language
An animal that influenced scientific thought has died. A chimpanzee named Washoe and born in Africa died of natural causes late last month at the age of 42 at a research center in the A-merican state of Washington.Washoe, had become known in the scientific community and around the world for her ability to use American Sign Language.She was said to be the first non-human to learn a human language .Her skills also led to debate about primates and their ability to under-stand language.
Research scientists Allen and Beatrix Gardner began teaching Washoe sign language in 1966.In 1969,the Gardeners described Washoe's progress in a scientific report. The people who experimented with Washoe said she grew to understand about 250 words. For example,Washoe made signs to communicate when it was time to eat. She could request foods like apples and ba-nanas .She also asked questions like,“Who is coming to play?”Once the news about Washoe spread,many language scientists began studies of their own into this nev and exciting area of research .The whole direction of primate research changed.
However,critics argued Washoe only learned to repeat sign language movements from watc-hing her teachers.They said she had never developed true language skills.Even now,there are some researchers who suggest that primates learn sign language only by memory,and perform the signs only for prizes. Yet Washoe's keepers disagree.Roger Fouts is a former student of the Gar-deners. He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensburg,Washington. There,Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees,which are still alive.
Scientists like private researcher Jane Goodall believe Washoe provided new information a-bout the mental workings of chimpanzees. Today,there are not as many scientists studying lan-guage skills with chimps. Part of the reason is that this kind of research takes a very long time.
Debate continues about chimps' understanding of human communication. Yet,one thing is sure-Washoe changed popular ideas about the possibilities of animal intelligence.According to the passage,which of the following is true?
A: Roger Fouts taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees.
B: Washoe was the first chimp to use American Sign Language.
C: A chimpanzee died of natural causes in Africa at a research center.
D: Nowadays there are still lots of scientists experimenting with chimpanzees.答案：B解析：根据第二段的“…many language scientists began studies of their own into this new and exciting area of research. The whole direction of primate research changed.”可知，这个试验影响了对灵长目动物的研究。故本题选D。
段落主旨题。仔细阅读本段发现，这是对Washoe学习手语进展的报道。故选A。
根据第三段的“However,critics argued Washoe only learned to repeat sign language movements from watching her teachers.”可知，批评家们认为，Washoe只是重复老师教给她的手语，并没有发展真正的语言技能。故本题选B。
由第一段的“She was said to be the first non-human to learn a human language.”可知， B正确。由第三段“There,Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees...”知，是Washoe教三个年轻黑程猩手语的，A错误；根据第一段第二句可知，Washoe出生于非洲，死于美国华盛顿，C错误；根据倒数第二段的“Today,there are not as many sci-entists studying language skills with chimps.”可知，D项错误。故本题选B。
根据最后一段第一句可知，科学家们对于黑猩猩理解人类语言仍有争议，因此黑猩猩能否学习人类语言仍然没有答案。因此选A。 -
第5题：
It is widely accepted that English is the global language of modern times.
About three decades ago,French was recognized as the language of diplomacy（外交）,and German was considered the language of science and technology.English now dominates（主导）not only as the language of science but also diplomacy,computing,and tourism.Today,in terms of native speakers,Mandarin Chinese is the world′s
largest language.
Yet there are people who believe that China will become the most powerful country in the world.Some have?even fixed the date as early as the year 2020.At present,while English is more widely spoken than any other?language,there are more people who speak Chinese than English due to the large population in China alone.If China?does become a world power,there is no doubt that this language will spread worldwide.
As the controversy over which language will become dominant in the world continues,there are many who feel?that the dominance of English is unique and irreversible（不可逆的）.However,a separate study from David Graddol′s suggests that English′s dominance in the scientific area will continue.There is also an argument that the?English language would be changed greatly by 2020 for various reasons.With the possibility of China rising as a?world power,Mandarin could definitely challenge the dominance of English as a global language.
What does controversy in the last paragraph probably mean?A.Plan.
B.Argument.
C.Conditoin.
D.Goal.答案：B解析： -

Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 8 for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, 9 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical 10 times for language development. Current 11 of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. 12 , more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 13 grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being 14 to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 15 of their first language have become firmly fixed. 16 some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been 17 from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that 18 with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 19 than any innate capacities. These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior. 20 , children learn language from their parents by imitating them.
