42、wo reports describing, step by step, how to prepare dried fish. Begin with the fish that are just out of water. If the fish are small, leave their heads on. Cut off the heads if the fish are longer than twenty centimeters or weigh more than one hundred fifteen grams. Now clean the freshly caught fis

43、h. Cut off the scales and cut open the stomach. Remove everything inside. Then wash the fish in clean water and rub salt into them.Next, put the fish in a container with a solution of three hundred grams of salt and one liter of water. This will remove the blood from the meat. Keep the fish in the s

44、alt water for about thirty minutes. After that, wash them again in clean water.Next, put the fish in a solution that has more salt in the water.

45、ontainer with a clean piece of wood. Place a heavy stone on the wood to hold it down. Leave the fish there for about six hours.After that remove them from the salt water and place them on a clean surface. Cover the fish with a clean piece of white cloth and let them dry.Another method of preparing f

46、ish is called dry salting. Wooden boxes or baskets are used for drying salting. After cleaning the fish, put a few of them on the bottom of the box or basket. Cover them with salt, then put more fish on top. Cover them also with salt. Continuing putting fish and salt in the container until it is ful

47、l.Do not use too much salt when using the dry salting method. You should use one part salt to three parts fish.

53、ience D. businessD In 1966，Allen and Beatrice Garden, two professors at the University of Nevada in Reno, had a bright idea.They were interested in the evolution of language and the language abilities of great apes (巨猿). Previous attempts to teach chimpanzees(黑猩猩) to talk had ended in failure and th

54、e matter was considered by most people to be closed. But the Gardens realized that speech and the language are not the same thing. Many deaf people, for example, are unable to speak but are perfectly able to communicate by gestures that have all the features of spoken language. The Garders suspected

55、 that previous experiments had failed because chimpanzees are physically unable to speak. They therefore decided to try teaching a chimpanzee to sign in the way that deaf people do. And their chosen subject , a female chimpanzee named Washoe after the country in which the university is, proved to be

56、 a skillful pupil. Though there is still debate about whether what Washoelearned was really equal to human language, there is no doubt that she learned a lot of words. All of this, however, raises a second question. If Washoe can learn a complex vocabulary of gestures from people, do they have such

57、vocabularies naturally ? To examine that possibility, Amy Pollick and Frans de Waal of Emory University have looked at gestures and expressions in chimpanzees, Signaling by facial and oral expressions is common among primates (灵长目动物). Signaling by gestures is limited to great apes. The researchers s

58、upposed that the meaning of expressions has been fixed by evolution while the meaning of gestures is learnt. If that were true, particular sorts of facial and oral expressions would occur only in particular circumstances, and this would be the same across groups and even species. The same gestures,

59、on the contrary, would be used in different circumstances.The researchers found exactly what they expected. Expressions almost always occurred in the same circumstances in different groups and different species. Gestures seemed to have completely different meanings. Moreover, even within a single gr

60、oup,the meaning of a gesture could vary with circumstances.Its also worth remembering that gesture is still an essential part of human language, even for those with normal hearing. The old joke that the way to make an Italian speechless is to tie his hands together has much truth in it. Evolution do

61、es not come up with complex structures in a single leap. They are built up step by step. This study suggests that the step of speech may have been built on mental features that were acquired millions of years ago when the ancestors of apes and men began to wave meaningfully at each other.66. We can

62、learn from the first two paragraphs that _.A. chimpanzees have no sense of language at allB. chimpanzees can use gestures like ordinary peopleC. the Gardners found a new idea to develop the chimpanzee experimentD. previous experiments failed because they didnt have clever chimpanzees67. Which of the

63、 following statements is TRUE according to the 2nd paragraph?A. Washoe failed to learn many wordsB. The Washoe experiment has resulted in further researchC. The vocabulary Washoe learnt is not similar to human languageD. The Gardners found that Washoe naturally knew vocabularies.68. According to Pol

64、lick and Waal gestures are different from facial and oral expressions in that _.A. the meaning of facial and oral expressions can vary with circumstances.B. particular gestures occur only in particular circumstances.C. facial and oral gestures are not born but learnt.D. gestures are limited to a cer

65、tain type of primates.69. What does the research carried out by Amy Pollick and Frans de Waal probably indicate ?A. Human speech may develop from gesturesB. The apes are the closest species to human beingsC. Normal people do not really need the help of gesturesD. Gesture is not part of human languag
