9、a final exam or have a sit-in exam? Use reasons and details to support your response. _,Sample Answer,Well, this is actually a complicated question.

10、ts, such as science and engineering ones, I would prefer a sit-in exam.

11、ut the test for years. If, however, I am supposed to study subjects in the humanities, I would prefer to write a paper, because there is no definite answer to the questions therein.

What has been concluded in these studies is that the great apes communicate in a variety of ways that include, but are not limited to, facial expressions, gestures with their appendages, and a variety of calls.

16、munication to express a broad range of ideas to other members of their group, such as anger, fear, approaching danger, dominance over the group, or acceptance of members into the group.,Sample Answer,In this set of materials, we have learnt something about Great Ape communications. In the reading pa

17、ssage, we learn that great apes are able to conduct a variety of communications with the help of facial expression, gestures and various calls. They can express fear, anger, approaching danger with other members of the group. In the listening materials, the professor talks about the limitations of t

18、he great ape communication. There are two basic limitations in their communication. No.1 is a lack of displacement, which means the great apes are unable to talk about things that are not present when they are communicating. Limitation No.2 is a lack of productivity. That means the great apes, even

19、though can communicate certain ideas, cannot control the communication by reorganizing their facial expressions, gestures or calls to produce new meanings,Sample Answer,In the listening passage, the woman was having a problem with deciding whether she should go to graduate school or start working af

21、 loans and might not be able to pay them off soon; solutions number 2 is that she should start working in a more general area to gain some working experience and pay off some of her debts and then she could re-apply to grad school when she wants and probably she has already changed her interest. I w

22、ould recommend the second solution to her, because education should be directed to employment and the woman is simply trying to escape the reality. If she has to face it anyway, the earlier would be the better.,Sample Answer,In the listening materials, the man doesnt know about the guest speaker wil
