21、n your answer sheet.We use language every day.We live in a world of words.Hardly any moment passes with someone talking,writing or reading.Indeed,_1_ languages is most essential to mankind.Our lives increasingly depend on fast and successful use of language.Strangely enough,we know _2_ more about th
22、ings around us than on ourselves.For example,language _3_ is species specific,that is,it is language that differs human from _4_ animals.However,we do not know yet how exactly we inquire language _5_ and how it is possible for us to perceive through language;nor we _6_ understand precisely the combi
23、nations between language and thought,_7_ language and logic,or language and culture;still less,how and when language started.One reason for this inadequate knowledge of language 第 6 页，共 12 页 is that we,like language users,take too many things for granted._8_ Language comes to every normal person so
24、naturally that a few _9_ of us stop to question what language is,much less do we feel the necessity to study it.Language is far more complex than most people have probably imagined and the necessity to study it is far greater than some people may have assured.Linguistic is a branch of science which
25、_10_ takes language as its object of investigation.Part III Reading Comprehension 40%Directions:In this section there are four passages followed by twenty questions or unfinished statements,each with four suggested answers marked A,B,C,and D.Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Mark your
26、 answers on your answer sheet.Passage 1 Children suffering from a common cold and persistent runny noise should not be treated initially with antibiotics,researchers said on Friday.They suggested antibiotics,which can sometimes cause side effects such as vomiting,diarrhea and abdominal pain,should o
27、nly be prescribed if the youngsters do not improve.Most patients will get better without antibiotics,Bruce Carroll of the University of Auckland in New Zealand said in a report in the British Medical Journal.The overuse of antibiotics has lead to concerns about the emergence of so-called superbugs t
28、hat are resistant to the most powerful antibiotics.Carroll and his colleague Tim Kenealy reviewed seven studies that looked at the effectiveness or harm of treating acute purulent rhinitis,a runny nose with a colored discharge,with antibiotics.Although the drugs are probably effective for the proble
29、m,they found that for each patient that will benefit from the drugs six others will not.Our summation would be to suggest initial management by non-antibiotic treatments or watchful waiting and those antibiotics should be used only when symptoms have persisted for long enough to concern parents or p
30、atients,they said in the report.The researchers said their findings support current no antibiotic as first line advice.1.Why did researches caution against early use of antibiotics to treat the common cold?A.Because antibiotics are ineffective.B.Because antibiotics can lead to unfavorable effects.C.
31、Because antibiotics may worsen the symptoms of the cold.D.Because antibiotics may put childrens lives in danger.第 7 页，共 12 页 2.According to the passage,superbugs refer to _.A.bugs that are big in size B.bugs that are resistant to drugs C.diseases that can not be cured by the strongest antibiotics D.
32、the most fatal diseases 3.What did Carroll and Tims studies reveal?A.Antibiotics are effective.B.Antibiotics are ineffective C.The effectiveness ratio of antibiotics is one to six.D.Most people can benefit from antibiotics.4.What is the researchers advice on the use of antibiotics?A.Antibiotics shou
33、ld be used in the first place.B.Antibiotics should be used if patients agree.C.Antibiotics should be used without any restrain.D.Antibiotics should be used when the disease wont improve.5.Throughout the passage,the author is _ in his attitude towards the use of antibiotics.A.favorable B.vague C.obje
34、ctive D.judgmental Passage 2 Most of us are taught to pay attention to what is saidthe words.Words do provide us with some information,but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it would hinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone.Words ar
35、e used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message.Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words.We dont always say what we mean or mean what we say.Sometimes our words dont mean anything except“Im letting off s
36、ome steam.I dont really want you to pay close attention to what Im saying.Just pay attention to what Im feeling.Mostly we mean several things at once.A person wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner,This step has to be fixed before Ill buy.The owner says,Its been like that for years.Ac
37、tually,the step hasnt been like that for years,but the unspoken message is:I dont want to fix it.We put up with it.Why cant you?The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining a message in terms of who said it,when it occurred,the related conditions or situation,and how
38、 it was said.When a message occurs it can also reveal associated meaning.Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing.But one couple always kisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss.The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great deal more
39、 than the frequency of the behavior.A friends 第 8 页，共 12 页 unusually docile behavior may only be understood by noting that it was preceded by situations that required an abnormal amount of assertiveness.Some responses may be directly linked to a developing pattern of responses and defy logic.For exa
40、mple,a person who says No!to a serials of charges like Youre dumb,Youre lazy,and Youre dishonest,may also say No!and try to justify his or her response if the next statement is And youre good looking.We would do well to listen for how messages are presented.The words,If sure has been nice to have yo
41、u over,can be said with emphasis and excitement or ritualistically.The phrase can be said once or repeated several times.And the meanings we associate with the phrase will change accordingly.Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes more importance;sometimes the more we say something the
42、 less importance it assumes.6.Effective communication is rendered possible between two conversing partners,if _.A.they use proper words to carry their ideas B.they both speak truly of their own feelings C.they try to understand each others ideas beyond words D.they are capable of associating meaning
43、 with their words 7.“Im letting off some steam”in paragraph one means_.A.Im just calling your attention B.Im just kidding C.Im just saying the opposite D.Im just giving off some sound 8.The house-owners example shows that he actually means_.A.the step has been like that for years B.he doesnt think i
44、t necessary to fix the step C.the condition of the step is only a minor fault D.the cost involved in the fixing should be shared 9.Some responses and behaviors may appear very illogical,but are justifiable if_.A.linked to an abnormal amount of assertiveness B.seen as ones habitual pattern of behavio
45、r C.taken as part of an ordering sequence D.expressed to a series of charges 10.The word“ritualistically”in the last paragraph equals something done_.A.without true intention B.light-heartedly C.in a way of ceremony D.with less emphasis 第 9 页，共 12 页 Passage 3 Jogging has become the most popular indi
46、vidual sport in America.Many theories,even some mystical ones,have been advanced to explain the popularity of jogging.The plain truth is that jogging is a cheap,quick and efficient way to maintain(or achieve)physical fitness.The most useful sort of exercise is exercise that develops the heart,lungs,
47、and circulatory systems.If these systems are fit,the body is ready for almost any sport and for almost any sudden demand made by work or emergencies.One can train more specifically,as by developing strength for weight lifting or the ability to run straight ahead for short distances with great power
48、s in football,but running trains your heart and lungs to deliver oxygen more efficiently to all parts of your body.It is worth noting that this sort of exercise is the only kind that can reduce heart disease,the number one cause of death in America.Only one sort of equipment is needed a good pair of
49、 shoes.Physicians advise beginning joggers not to run in a tennis or gym shoe.Many design advances have been made in only the last several years that make an excellent running shoe in dispensable if a runner wishes to develop as quickly as possible,with as little chance of injury as possible.A good
50、running shoe will have a soft pad for absorbing shock,as well as a slightly built-up heel and a full heel cup that will give the knee and ankle more stability.A wise investment in good shoes will prevent blisters and the foot,ankle and knee injures and will also enable the wearer to run on paved or
