21.(6分)Gorilla Study Reveals New Connection
Humans and gorillas (大猩猩) shared evolution for 23 million years. Their paths separated only six million years
ago. Research on how gorillas communicate can help us understand human language development. Understanding how the brain works helps us see a connection between language development and non-verbal signs. These signs or movements include things like the way we move our hands or bodies or the different expressions our faces have in different social situations. A new study on gorillas revealed that right-handedness- preferring to use the right hand instead of the left hand for most physical activities-may have a connection with communication.
Two cameras were used to film all of one ape’s movements. One of the first results was that gorillas use their right hands more when they are doing actions with their heads or mouths at the same time. This shows that there is a connection between how our brains work and the reason we use one side of our body more than the other. In addition, we can use the results of the study and our knowledge about brains to help us understand more about how language first developed in humans.
Dr Forrester, who did the study, says the results can be useful in other ways, such as understanding language development in children. For example, some children hav e a serious illness called “autism” which can stop them communicating normally with people. It might be possible to use the same study method to find out which children have this illness when they are very young. Doctors will then be able to start treatment early.
5年高考3年模拟1、When did the evolution of gorillas and humans separate?
A.More than 5 million years ago. B.7 million years ago.
C.23 million. D.It’s not known.
2、Right-handedness in apes may have a connection with ________.
A.intelligence B.communication
C.social success D.convenience
3、The research team used ________ to help to find the result.
A.video recording B.photographs
C.voice recording D.zoo keepers
4、The results of the study might help ________.
A.everyone B.sick apes
C.adults with mental problems D.children with an illnes
