It has been pointed out that human beings，by agreement，can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed，in the course of centuries of mutual(相互 的) dependency，to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs，throats，tongues，teeth，and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language. There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head，by gold on the watch chain，or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in，so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in. However obvious these facts may appear at first glance， they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other，yet we all have a way of feeling as if，and sometimes acting as if，there were necessary connections. For example，there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature； foreigners have such funny names for things，and why can’t they call things by their right names？This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said，“Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals，” they feel that the symbol is inherently(内在地) connected in some way with the things symbolized. 1.Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings . A. have made use of language for centuries B. use our nervous systems to support language C. have made various noises stand for any events D. can make anything stand for anything by agreement 2.What can we conclude from Paragraph 2? A. Different noises may mean different things. B. Our culture determines what a symbol stands for. C. The language we use symbolizes our social positions. D. Our social positions determine the way we are dressed. 3.In Paragraph 3 the underlined phrase “take special pains” probably means “ ”. A. try very hard B. take our time C. are very unhappy D. feel especially painful 4.In Paragraph 3，the example of the little boy is used to show that . A. adults often learn from their young B. “pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirty C. words are not connected with the things they stand for D. people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language works B How words came into being is unknown. All we assume is that some early men invented certain sounds，in one way or another，to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things ，so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be put together to show those sounds，and which could be written down. Those sounds，whether spoken or written in letters，are called words. The power of words，then，lies in their associations—the things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience；and the longer we live，the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style(文体).Above all，the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music，and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly，or they will make our speech silly and common. 1.We learn from the text that language might have begun with . A. expressions B. actions C. signs D. sounds 2.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2? A. The learning of new words. B. The importance of old words. C. The relation of human experience with words. D. The gradual change and development of words. 3.In the last paragraph，what does the author suggest that we should do? A. Use words skillfully. B. Make musical speeches. C. Learn poems by heart. D. Associate with listeners. II.完形填空 Throughout history，people have been interested in knowing how language first began，but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. 1 ， we do know a lot about 2 ，the languages of today and also the languages of 3 times. There are 4 about three thousand languages in the world today. Chinese is the language 5 the most speakers. English，Russian and Spanish are also spoken by many millions of people. 6 ，some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers. There are several important 7 of languages in the world. For example，most of the languages of 8 are in one large family 9 the Indo•European language family. The original language of this family was spoken about 4,500 years 10 .Many of the present languages of Europe and India are modern 11 of the language of 4,500 years ago. Languages are 12 changing. The English of today is very different 13 the English of 500 years ago.Over time some even 14 completely. About 1,000 years ago 15 was a little known relative of German 16 on one of the borders(边界) of Europe. If a language has 17 speakers or if it is very old， there may be 18 in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is，the language may have several 19 .Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of speakers. The differences among the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China 20 understand speakers from other parts. 1.A. But B. Rather C. However D. Besides 2.A. English B. history C. Chinese D. languages 3.A. earlier B. latter C. modern D. hard 4.A. frequently B. probably C. fluently D. gradually 5.A.for B. with C.in D. of 6.A. In a word B. At present C. On the one hand D. On the other hand 7.A. blocks B. accents C. families D. changes 8.A. Europe B. Asia C. Africa D. America 9.A. called B. spoken C. calling D. speaking 10.A. before B. ago C. later D. old 11.A. times B. families C. forms D. members 12.A. always B. seldom C. often D. sometimes 13.A. about B. with C.in D. from 14.A.die out B. die away C. die down D. die off 15.A.

(great) difficulty with listening comprehension(理解) is that the listener cannot control how quickly a speaker speaks. They feel that what the speaker says disappears 57. they can follow. This frequently means that students 58. are learning to listen cannot keep up. They are so busy 59. (work) out the meaning of one part of what they hear that they miss the next part. Or they 60. (simple) ignore a whole section because they fail to catch it quickly enough. Another difficulty is that the listener is not always in a position to get the speaker to repeat what has been said. And ，of course，repeats cannot 61. (ask) for when listening to the radio or watching TV. Besides,62. (choose) of vocabulary is in the hands of the speaker，not the listener. Very often，for people listening to a foreign language，an unknown word can be like a suddenly 63. (drop) stone making them stop and think about the meaning of the word，64. (cause) them to miss the next part of the speech. In listening，it really is a case of “He who 65. (stop) to work out the meaning is lost”.
