Can Apes Really Learn To “Talk”

Who are Sarah, Washoe, Koko, and Sherman? They are chimpanzees or gorillas who some scientists claim have learned how to “talk” to humans. In the past several years people have been astonished by reports that they communicate with humans. For example, Koko, a female gorilla, is said to understand and use hundreds of words. Koko, says her trainer, Francine Patterson, can carry on conversations in sign language about her feelings and plans.

Researcher Talks Back

Recently a Columbia University scientist caused an argument by challenging the conclusion that apes can in fact use language. The scientist, Dr. Herbert Terrace, thinks that the animals do not use language the way humans do. Dr. Terrace has caused such strong feelings among scientists studying ape language. Here let’s listen to an imaginary conversation between Washoe, the first chimp to learn sign language, and Koko, the gorilla.

Apes Are Talking

Koko: Did you hear what Dr. Terrace said about us? He claims we cannot create our own sentences. Instead, he says, we react to clues accidentally given by our trainer. He says we are like the famous horse Clever Hans. Hans was supposed to be able to solve arithmetic problems and then stamp out the answers with his hoof(蹄子).

If the horse was asked what two plus two was, he would stamp four times. Although the trainer did not realized it, says Dr. Terrace, the horse was picking up clues from the trainer as to when to stop stamping.

Washoe: I disagree with Dr. Terrace. My trainer, Dr. R. Allen Gardner and his wife, Beatrice, have seen me talking in sign language to other chimps.

Koko: I heard that Dr. Terrace became unimpressed with ape language after studying a chimp named Nim. Dr. Terrace found that Nim usually made signs only after being prompted (提示) by his trainer. Yet when children learn a language, they start using many words on their own. Nim usually did not do this. Even when Nim did use additional signs, he did not add any new information. The signs (words) were repeated over and over again.

Washoe: My trainer says that Nim wasn’t given much of a chance to act on his own. He had so many different trainers, he became confused. That is not the best way to get chimps to communicate.

Koko: I’ll never understand humans. But the big question is: Can we really use language?

Koko and Washoe (together): We’ll never tell.

How do scientists who study ape language respond to Dr.  Herbert  Terrace’ idea according to the 2nd part?

A. Enthusiastic.             B. Confused.                C. Angry.                      D. Sympathetic.  

Which of the following is a match according to the passage?

A. Dr. Herbert Terrace and Koko.                  B. Dr. R. Allen Garners and Washoe.

C. Clever Hans and Sherman.                           D. Francine Patterson and Nim.

Dr. Herbert Terrace suspects that _________.

A. Nim added new information while using additional signs

B. Clever Hans picked up clues accidentally given by its trainer

C. Washoe didn’t pick up any clues from its trainer when talking

D. when a child learns a language, he starts using many words on his own

Which of the following is a fact according to the passage?

A. Nim had more than one trainer.                   

B. Apes can’t create their own language.

C. The apes are supposed to form sentences.      

D. Clever Hans is supposed to solve math problems.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：陜西省期末題 題型：閱讀理解

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框的A-F選項(xiàng)中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)為多余項(xiàng)。
A. Surrounding Yourself with English
B. Listen to English Music
C. Log on the English Website
D. Watch English Films
E. Use All of Your Resources Speak without Fear
1.______
     The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they
won't say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don't talk at all. Don't do this. The fastest way
to learn anything is to do it - again and again until you get it right. Like anything else, learning English requires
practice. Don't let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.
2.______
     Even if you study English at a language school it doesn't mean you can't learn outside of class. Using many
different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways
you can improve your English, so don't limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource
for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect.
3.______
     The absolute best way to learn English is to put yourself in it. Take notes in English, put English books
around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television.
Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English materials that you have around you,
the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin "thinking in English".
4.______
     This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English movies (especially those
with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you
listen to the news you can also hear different accents.
5.______
     Another very effective method of learning English is singing. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving
comprehension. The best way to learn is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to
read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs.
In this way you can practise your listening and reading at the same time.
