Some Things We Know About Language

Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some things we do know.

First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. Furthermore, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.

Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.

This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated.Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.

A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is,each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.

Finally, we know that language changes. It is natural and normal for language to change ; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.

In the second paragraph the passage tells us that 查看材料

A.some backward race doesn"t have a language of its own

B.some race in history didn"t possess a language of its own

C.any human race, whether backward or not, has a language

D.some races on earth can communicate without language

根据以下材料回答题

We found that bar at last.I didn&39;t have to ask again, for there it was in big red neon lettersover the window--Star Bar.There were some iron tables outside with plastic chairs around them.

A few people sat around, looking at a portable television set that someone had brought out of thebar.They were all in thin summer dresses or short shirts; even at that late hour it was stifling.Twothin dogs lay under one of the tables with their tongues out, and some of the women were fanningthemselves unenthusiastically(无精打采地) with magazines.

"He&39; s not here," I said, after a quick look around.The television was speaking out an ad-vertisement for a detergent(洗衣粉), and the people sitting round had their eyes glued to the pic-ture of a woman proudly showing how white her husband&39; s underwear was after having beenwashed.They took no notice of us at all.

"Well, what did you expect?" replied Fergus, yawning(打哈欠)." It&39; s only half past nine,and he said he would be here at nine.You ought to know Graig by this time.He&39; 11 turn up some-time after ten."

根据以下材料,回答题

Native American Pottery

There are several American Indian groups in the Southwest that still make beautiful pottery.

Some of this pottery may be sold at fairly high prices. But the makers consider their work as more than a commercial enterprise. By using methods handed downfor generations, the potters express their pride in their cultural inheritance (遗产) .

Some of the most interesting pottery is made by the Pueblo Indians. There are 21 individual pueblos in Arizona and New Mexico. Several are famous for their craftsmanship.To make a pot,these potters use a clay base and add long thin coils of clay toit in a spiral pattern. When they have reached the size they want, they use an implement such as a rock or shell to smooth the surfaces of the pot.

How a pot is decorated and fired depends on the traditions of the group making it. Traditional pottery produced by the Acoma, who have lived for centuries on a high mesa in NewMexico, is first painted with a clay slip. The resulting pots: which are prizedfor their delicacy and strength,may be left white. They may also be painted with black and white patterns or with a combination of black, orange, and brown.

Very distinctive (忒别的,有特色的) black pottery comes from the Sail Ildefonso and Santa Clara pueblos. The black color is the result of carbon being released from the animal manure (粪肥) in which the pot is fired. Some artisans hand -rub this ware to a shiny gloss. Others cut patterns into it: resulting in a part shiny: part fiat surface. Potters at Sail lldefonso make many types of wares. Potters at Santa Clara are especially known for wedding jars-jars with two necks connected by a handle.

Other groups such as the Hopi and the Cochiti also make pottery. Each group uses distinctive methods and produces distinctive .forms and designs.

In the first paragraph the word "commercial" means 查看材料

A.advertising products on TV

B.selling and business

C.large-scale

D.artistic

根据以下材料,回答题

The Fat Problem That Men Face

It is a pleasure to see men of a certain age worrying about their weight. Listening to them is not such a pleasure. Because the men are new at the game, they don"t hesitate to discuss the fat problem incessantly. However, women of the same age do not discuss the fat problem, especially not in mixed company. They prefer to face the problem with quiet dignity. Discussing the problem might only draw attention to some stray body part that may be successfully tucked away under an article of clothing.

The age at which a man begins to explore the fat problem can vary. The actual problem can manifest itself in the early 30"s, but broad-range discussion usually starts later. There are early nonverbal symptoms. I"ve watched the rugged journalist who shares my apartment sneak by with a Diet Coke. His shirts are no longer neatly tucked in to display a trim waist. Recently he has begun to verbalize his anxiety. He tells me, with a sheepish grin, that he is taking his suits to Chinatown to have them "ailored."

Still-older men have lost their dignity and rattle on unabashedly. Often, wives and children play important roles in their fat-inspection rituals. Take my oldest brother, a former college football player, as an example. His daughter says that several times a day he will stand at attention and call out, "Fat, medium or thin?" She knows the correct answer: medium. Thin would be an obvious stretch, and fat may not get her that new video. According to his wife, he stands in front of the mirror in the morning (before the day"s meals take their toll), puts his hands behind his head and lurches into a side bend, then clutches the roll that has developed and says, "Am I getting fatter?"

His wife is expected to answer, "You look like you may have lost a few pounds."

And then there are the ex-husbands, a pitiful group. They are extremely vocal. When I go to the movies with one, he confides that he is suffering from great hunger because he is dieting. He hasn"t eaten since the pancakes and sausages he wolfed down that morning. He pauses in his monologue while he buys his popcorn. After the movie, we sprint to a restaurant, where he again pauses to devour a basket of bread. Before he orders his chaste salad and soup, he grows plaintive. Do I think he"s fat?

Men of a certain age are always ready to talk about their fat problem. 查看材料

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

Better Solar Energy Systems: More Heat, More Light

Solar photovoltaic thermal energy systems, or PVTs, generate both heat and electricity, but__________ (51) now they haven"t been very good at the heat-generating part compared to a stand-alone solar thermal collector. That"s because they operate at low temperatures to cool crystalline silicon solar cells,__________ (52) lets the silicon generate more electricity but isn"t a very efficient way to gather heat.

That"s a problem of economics. Good solar hot-water systems can harvest much more energy than a solar-electric system at a substantially lower__________(53). And it"s also a space problem: photovoltaic cells can__________ (54) up all the space on the roof, leaving little room for thermal applications.

In a pair of studies, Joshua Pearce, an associate professor of materials science and engineering,has devised a__________ (55) in the form. of a better PVT made with a different kind of silicon.

His research collaborators are Kunal Girotra from Thin Silicon in California and Michael Pathak and Stephen Harrison from Queen"s University, Canada.

Most solar panels are made with crystalline silicon, but you can also make solar cells out of amorphous silicon, commonly known__________ (56) thin-film silicon. They don"t create as much electricity, but they are lighter, flexible, and cheaper. And, because they__________ (57) much less silicon, they have a greener footprint. __________ (58), thin-film silicon solar cells are vulnerable to some bad-news physics in the form. of the Staebler-Wronski effect.

"That means that their efficiency drops when you __________(59) them to light——pretty much the worst possible effect for a solar cell," Pearce explains, which is one of the__________ (60) thin-film solar panels make up only a small fraction of the market.

Advertising

The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects.

Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers have appealed to people&39;s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage. Some of the products work. Others areworthless and a waste of consumers&39; money.

Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading. A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to dieters (节食者) with the message that there were fewer calories (热量单位,大卡) in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic (适合节食的), but just regular bread.

There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf.

On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumer&39;s real concerns.

Consider fire insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising.

Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.

Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by__________. 查看材料

A.stressing their high quality

B.convincing him of their low price

C.maintaining a balance between quality and price

D.appealing to his buying motives

根据以下材料回答题

We experience different forms of the sun' s energy every day.The sun is the major source ofenergy for our planet.It causes the evaporation (蒸发) of water from the oceans and lakes.Sun-light also provides the energy used by green plants to make their own food.

Much of the energy that comes from the sun never reaches the earth' s surface.It is either re-fleeted or absorbed by the gases in the upper atmosphere.Of the energy that reaches the lower at-mosphere, 30% is reflected by clouds or the earth' s surface.The remaining 70% warms the surfaceof the planet, causes water to evaporate, and provides energy for the water cycle and weather.

Only a tiny part, approximately 0.023%, is actually used by green plants to produce food.

Many gases found in the atmosphere actually reflect heat energy escaping from the earth' s sur-face back to the earth.These gases act like the glass of a greenhouse in that they allow energy fromthe sun to enter but prevent energy form. leaving.They are therefore called greenhouse gases.

When sunlight strikes an object, some of the energy is absorbed and some is reflected.Theamount reflected depends on the surface.Dark-colored surfaces, such as dark soil or forest, absorbmore energy.

According to the passage, the root cause for weather changes on the earth is __________. 查看材料

A.the atmosphere surrounding the earth

B.water from oceans and lakes

C.energy from the sun

D.greenhouse gases in the sky

根据以下材料,回答题

The Issue of Package

Maybe everyone has such an experience that you have to unwrap several layers of packaging when you enjoy a piece of candy. But this overuse of wrapping is not confined to luxuries. It is becoming increasingly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in beautiful wrapping.

The package itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away immediately. So why is it done? Some of it, like the cellophane on meat, is necessary, but most of the rest is simply competitive selling. This is absurd. Packaging is using up scarce energy and resources and messing up the environment.

Recycling is already happening with milk bottles which are returned to the dairies, washed out,and refilled. But both glass and paper are being threatened by the growing use of plastic. More dairies are experimenting with plastic bottles.

The trouble with plastic is that it does not rot. Some environmentalists argue that the only solution to the problem of ever increasing plastic containers is to do away with plastic altogether in the shops, a suggestion unacceptable to many manufacturers who say there is no alternative to their handy plastic packs.

It is evident that more research is needed into the recovery and reuse of various materials and into the cost of collecting and recycling containers as opposed to producing new ones. Unnecessary packaging, intended to be used just once, and make things look better so more people will buy them, is clearly becoming increasingly absurd. But it is not so much a question of doing away with packaging as using it sensibly. What is needed now is a more advanced approach to using scarce resources for what is, after all, a relatively unimportant function.

"This overuse of wrapping is not confined to luxuries. " (Line 2, Paragraph 1) means __________. 查看材料

A.more wrapping is needed for ordinary products

B.more wrapping is used for luxuries than for ordinary products

C.too much wrapping is used for both luxury and ordinary products

D.the wrapping used for luxury products is unnecessary

Science Fiction

(1) Amongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction. Hundreds of titles arepublished every year and are read by all kinds of people.

Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.

(2) It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books were often concerned with the presentation of some form. of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modem stories.

(3) Most of the classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H. G Wells, to mention just two well-known authors, have been translated into many languages.

(4) Modern science fiction writers don"t write about men from Mars(火星)or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection of the world which we live in now. Because of this, their writing has obvious political undertones (含义) .

(5) In an age where science fact frequently overtakes (超过) science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear-sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide a valuable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to master its new technology.
