Human and primates, the family of apes, gori l las,
and chimpanzees, among others, divide many common traits.
While primates are deemed the most intelligent of animals,
most researchers believed they lack the capacity to produce
language. However, a research project in the 1970s at University
of Georgia showed promise that chimpanzees have the ability
to learn a certain language, just as human children do.
The project used several chimpanzees as test subjects in which

Though the primates lack the vocal constructions to
make human speech patterns, the researchers created a
language called Yerkish, using lexigram made up of symbols
that represent sounds and words. 125 symbols were placed on a
keyboard, which Lana was taught how to use the board to
communicate with the researchers. She successfully
expressed her thoughts by pressing different keys in succession. In
some cases, she used up to seven at times.

When faced (0)________ some new and possible bewildering technology

and (54)________ wonder how they could possibly have existed (55)________ it. Take
computers as example. For many of us, they still (56)________ a threat to our freedom
and give us a frightening (57)________ of a future in which all decisions will be

difficult to understand. Ask most people what you can use a home computer for, and
you usually get vague answers about how ‘they give you information’. In fact, even
those of us who are (60)________ with computer and use them in our daily work, have
little idea of how they work. But it does not take long to learn how to operate a business
programme, even if things occasionally go wrong for no apparent (61)________.

Part 2: Read the following passage and answer the questions from 66 to 75 that
follow.
THE HISTORY OF THE GUITAR
The word 'guitar' was brought into English as an adaptation of the Spanish word
'guitarra’, which was, in turn, derived from the Greek 'kithara'. Tracing the roots of the
word further back into linguistic history, it seems to have been a combination of the
Indo-European stem 'guit-’, meaning music, and the root '-tar’, meaning chord or string.
The root '-tar' is actually common to a number of languages, and can also be found in
the word 'sitar’, also a stringed musical instrument. Although the spelling and
pronunciation differ between languages, these key elements have been present in most
words for 'guitar' throughout history.
While the guitar may have gained most of its popularity as a musical instrument
during the modern era, guitar-like instruments have been in existence in numerous
cultures throughout the world for more than 5.000 years. The earliest instruments that
the modern eye and ear would recognise as a 'normal' acoustic guitar date from about
500 years ago. Prior to this time, stringed instruments were in use throughout the world,
but these early instruments are known primarily from visual depictions, not from the
continued existence of music written for them. The majority of these depictions show
simple stringed instruments, often lacking some of the parts that define a modern guitar.
A number of these instruments have more in common with the lute than the guitar.
There is some uncertainty about the exact date of the earliest six-string guitar.
The oldest one still in existence, which was made by Gaetano Vinaccia, is dated 1779.
However, the authenticity of six-string guitars alleged to have been made prior to 1790
is often suspect, as many fakes have been discovered dating to this era. The early
nineteenth century is generally accepted as the time period during which six-string
guitars began taking on their modern shape and dimensions. Thus for nearly two
hundred years, luthiers, or guitar makers, have been producing versions of the modern
acoustic guitar.
The first electric guitar was not developed until the early twentieth century.
George Beauchamp received the first patent for an electric guitar in 1936, and
Beauchamp went on to co-found Rickenbacker, originally known as the Electro String
Instrument Company. Although Rickenbacker began producing electric guitars in the
late 1930s, this brand received most of its fame in the 1960s, when John Lennon used a
Rickenbacker guitar for the Beatles' debut performance on the Ed Sullivan show in
1964. George Harrison later bought a Rickenbacker guitar of his own, and the company
later gave him one of their earliest 12-string electric guitars. Paul McCartney also used
a Rickenbacker bass guitar for recording. The Beatles continued to use Rickenbacker
Page 5
guitars throughout their career, and made the instruments highly popular among other
musicians of the era.
The Fender Musical Instruments Company and the Gibson Guitar Corporation
were two other early electric guitar pioneers, both developing models in the early 1950s.
Fender began with the Telecaster in 1950 and 1951, and the Fender Stratocaster
debuted in 1954. Gibson began selling the Gibson Les Paul, based partially on
assistance from jazz musician and guitar innovator Les Paul, in 1952. The majority of
present day solid-body electric guitars are still based largely on these three early
electric guitar designs.
Throughout the history of the guitar, an enormous number of individuals have
made their mark on the way in which the instrument was built, played and perceived.
Though some of these individuals are particularly well known, like the Beatles or Les
Paul, the majority of these people are virtually invisible to most modern guitar fans. By
looking at the entire history of the guitar, rather than just recent developments, largely
confined to electric guitars, it is possible to see more of the contributions of earlier
generations.

Instruments similar to the guitar have been played by musicians for over (71) ________

rather than actual physical examples or music played on them. In some ways, these
early stringed instruments were closer to (73) ________ than the guitar as we know it
today. We do have examples of six-string guitars that are 200 years old. However, the Page 6
(74) ________ of six-string guitars made by guitar makers who are also known as
luthiers before the final decade of the eighteenth century is often open to question.
Although the electric guitar was invented in the 1930s, it took several decades for
electric guitars to develop, with the company Rickenbacker playing a major part in this
development. Most (75) ________ electric guitars in use today are similar in design to
guitars produced by the Fender Musical Instruments Company and the Gibson Guitar
Corporation in the 1950s.
