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 together I tell myself 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 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 charging into the first chapter of his adult life with such confidence 24 What is the probable meaning of underlined phrase Pull yourself together A Get up B Cheer up C Pull up D Wake up 25 What can we infer about Mathew from the text A He hates sleeping early B He doesn t get on well with his father C He is ready for the new life D He doesn t value his father s love for him 26 How does the writer feel about his son s leaving for college A Worried B ProudC Bittersweet D Relieved 27 Which of the following can be the best title of the text A Unavoidable Goodbye B Sweet Memories C Glorious Moment D Unconditional Love 3 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 stresses Mullei Putz 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 4 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 This is not foolish There are 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 5 第二节 共 5 小题
