26、f the students“ knowledge and enhance the study of language. The correlation highlights the pursuit of the relationship between the two.(2 points)Therefore, we have to keep in mind that it is a rather difficult job to know another culture. At the same time, we have to realize the fascinating role of

27、 cultural knowledge in language teaching.(1 point)In language teaching, we have to get the students familiar with cultural differences; to help the students transcend their own culture and see things as the members of the target culture will; and to emphasize the inseparability of understanding lang

All in all, successful mastery of a given language has much to do with an understanding of that culture.(2 points)解析：解析：考查文化在外语教学中的重要意义。语言是文化不可分割的一部分，是文化的载体，掌握一门语言实际上是掌握该语言所承载的文化。因此，我们可以说，学习语言就是学习文化，或者说学习语言的同时应该学习其所代表的文化。22.What is

34、远比语言本身抽象的知识状态，是一套原则系统，一种知识体系，并非一种处事的能力，甚至也不是一种组织句子和理解句子的能力。1972 年 Hymes提出了与乔姆斯基相对立的“交际能力”这一概念。他认为，交际能力是“何时说，何时不说以及关于何时何地以何种方式与何人说何内容”。在外语学习中，要培养交际能力，首先要多参加猜词游戏，多描述以及辩论，同时要多了解文化背景知识，同时掌握必要的语用常识。23.Please briefly answer the following question IN ABOUT 500 WORDS:(10 points)Anthropological linguists E.
