Both people and apes have the similar brain structure, the similar nerve system, and the similar kind of blood. There are four kinds of apes: the chimpanzee(黑猩猩), the orangutan(猩猩), the gorilla(大猩猩), and the gibbon(长臂猿). They live in the deep forests and warm tropical regions of Africa and of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. All apes are covered with brown, reddish-brown, or black hair everywhere on their bodies except their faces, feet, and hands. Their hands each have four fingers and a thumb that helps them grip things the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumb on each foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet also. Having short, weak legs, apes do not walk on the ground very much. However, their arms are very strong. This enables them to swing from branches and travel very quickly from tree to tree. These animals live in small family groups that move from place to place in search of vegetables and fruits. They also eat eggs, small animals, nuts, and insects. When they are tired, they build nests in the trees. But they rarely sleep there for more than a night or two. Then they move on to look for more food. There are some differences among the following three kids of apes. The gibbon is never more than three feet high and weight only about fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows to be six feet tall and weight up to 600 pounds. The orangutan is smaller than the gorilla. It stands three to five feet tall and weight up to 200 pounds. Chimpanzees are the smartest of all apes. They can be taught to sit at a table and eat, to dress themselves, and to do things that human children can do. 31. What does the first paragraph tell us? A The ape looks like human beings most. B People and the ape think alike. C People and the ape behave alike. D The ape is the most intellectual animal in the world. 32. Which of the following sentences is TRUE? A All apes are brown or black. B All parts of apes bodies are covered with hair. C Apes have weak legs but very strong arms. D Apes arms are strong enough to swim. 33. Apes build nests in the trees but seldom sleep there for more than a night or two because _. A They like to live in small family groups B They like to move from place to place in search of more food C They like to eat eggs, small animals, nuts and insects D it rains too often in the deep forests 34. Among the three kinds of apes, _. A the gorilla is the biggest B the gibbon is only three feet high but it is heavier than the orangutan C the orangutan is smaller than the gorilla and cleverer than the gibbon D the orangutan can stand up to a great height, but others cannot 35. The last paragraph tells us that _. A chimpanzees can do better than human children B chimpanzees can do many things that human children cannot do C human children can do many things that chimpanzees cannot do D the intelligence of chimpanzees is similar to that of human childrenVideodisc holds great promise of helping to meet the needs of American schoolchildren who have problems seeing, hearing, speaking, or socializing. Almost eleven percent of the students aged 321 in this country have an impairment that affects their ability to benefit from a regular education program. Handicapped students require special education because they are often markedly different from most children in one or more of the following ways: mentally retarded(发展迟缓的) learning-disabled, emotionally disturbed, deaf, visually handicapped, physically handicapped, or other health impairments. The education of these handicapped children is rewarding but challenging. A special education student usually needs a longer period of time to acquire information. Repetitive teaching techniques are often beneficial, and indefatigable(孜孜不倦的) consistency on the part of the teacher is frequently necessary. Interactive videodisc courseware has characteristics that can be capitalized upon to meet the challenges that special education poses. A videodisc program is infinitely patient. Repetition of any videodisc lesson can continue endlessly, and designers can assure absolute consistency within a program. Most important, according to special educator William Healey of the University of Arizona, is that videodisc adds an extra dimension of realism for children who need graphic representations. Healey explained that deaf and mentally retarded children especially have difficulty grasping figurative(比喻的)language and higher-order language concepts. He believes that for special education, the power of videodisc lies in the ability of the technology to visually represent language concepts normally taken for granted by non-handicapped persons. Complex figurative language forms such as idioms and metaphors come most readily to mind as being difficult for handicapped learners. 36. The special education mentioned in the text is mainly concerned with _. A genius students from day-care centers to colleges B students who are fond of computer video games C teachers of language in the University of Arizona D students who are either mentally or physically disabled 37. A videodisc courseware is beneficial to those who have study difficulties because _. A its fancy design is very attractive B it allows the user to go back to where he wants to restudy C the content of it is healthy and promising D it is developed by university professors 38. According to Professor Healey, we may infer that mentally retarded children perhaps _. A need graphic representations in order to understand higher-order language concepts B are good at studying English idioms but often fail to grasp higher-order language concepts C are not very patient with videodisc which helps them to understand the world concepts D tend to be
