17、xperiences of quite a different tone can be sounded from BCL 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(轉錄)onto a musical score(樂譜)，just through the power of thought. A

18、ll 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 a

19、nother in a table. If youVe 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” melo

Following user-centered design guidelines, researchers investigated the efficiency, the effectiveness and subjective criteria. The subjecti

25、music.DMany 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(類人猿)are always one of the favourite attractions in any zoo. The main reason for this is that they are so similar to us.T

26、his 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

27、 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 abou

28、t 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

29、, 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 gre

30、at 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 goe

31、s on to demonstrate that, if looked at from one angle，it is true that we are phylogenetically(動植物演化史)apes. But also fish from phylogenetically another angle! “Doesnt sound quite so profound now, does it?”32. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A. The experience was unforgettable.B. Chimpanzees a

32、re 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 ape

33、s.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. Wha

34、t 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.第一節(jié)完形填空(共20小題;每小題1.5分，滿分30分)
