請依下文回答第 41 題至第 45 題Gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans are our nearest animal relatives. Long ago, people tried to teach apes to talk. Thisdid not work, for the shapes of their tongue and mouth are different from ours and they cannot make the same sounds aswe do. In the 1960s, a chimpanzee called Washoe was taught American Sign Language, as though she were a deaf anddumb baby. She and other chimpanzees learned a large number of signs and sometimes put them together to describethings for which they did not know the word. One of them called watermelons "drink fruit" and oranges "smell fruit."Other ways of talking with apes included teaching them to use symbols on a chart or a computer. They all showed thatthey could think like humans, but in a simple way. For instance, a gorilla called Koko cried when her pet kitten died. Thelatest attempts are with pygmy chimpanzees. These animals understand a good deal of human speech and reply usingsymbols on a chart. Scientists hope that this study may show us some of the ways that our own language developed.
