28、akers of different languages. The creation of Ludovic Lazar Zamenhof, a Polish-Jewish ophthalmologist(眼科学者), Esperanto was first presented in 1887. An international movement to promote its use, although originally annoyed with disagreement, has continued to flourish and has members in more than 80 c
29、ountries.Esperanto is used internationally across language boundaries by at least one million people, particularly in specialized fields. It is used in personal contacts, on radio broadcasts, and in a number of publications of both modern works and classics. Its popularity has spread from Europe bot
30、h East and West to such countries as Brazil and Japan. It is, however, in China that Esperanto had had its greatest impact. It is taught in universities and used in many translations (often in scientific or technological works). El Popola Cinio (From Peoples China), a monthly magazine in Esperanto,
31、is read worldwide. Radio Beijings Esperanto program is the most popular program in Esperanto in the world.Esperantos vocabulary is drawn primarily from Latin, the Romance languages, English, and German. Spelling is completely regular. A simple and consistent set of endings indicates grammatical func
32、tions of words. Thus, for example, every noun ends in o, every adjective in a, and the infinitive(不定式) of every verb in i. Esperanto also has a highly productive system of constructing new words from old: ami, to love; malami, to hate; malameno, the tendency to hate.（分数：8.00）(1).Which statement is t

36、e world operates. They may be summaries and interpretations of the past, explanations of the present or predictions for the future, and may be based on common sense, folk wisdom, religion, science, or some combination of these. Some beliefs apply to intangible (无形的) things (for example, whether the
37、human spirit lives on after .death). All cultures distinguish between ideas for which people have reasonable proof (for Americans, for ex ample, the idea that smoking increases the risk of cancer) and ideas that have not been, or cannot be, tested (for Americans, for example, the idea that there is
38、intelligent life on other planets). Where and how people draw the line varies, however.Bemuse beliefs shape both personal and social experience, basic differences in beliefs can account for some of the problems Vietnamese immigrants have had in American society. One exampie is beliefs concerning the
39、 nature of time. People in Western cultures believe time is irreversible (不可回转的). We think of time as a straight line. On every January 1st we add another year to the calendar. Traditionally, the Vietnamese have reckoned time in sixty-yesr cycles. Every sixty years the cycle starts over with .the ye
40、ar with which it began. Such a conception of time suggests that current events are not unique; that things come around again. American beliefs regarding time as linear create the sense that “time is ticking away“; the Vietnamese belief that time is cyclical creates an entirely different state of min
41、d.Beliefs apply not only to concepts like time but also to mundane (世俗的，世间的) aspects of the material world. Residents of San Francisco were offended greatly to learn that rural immigrants from Laos and Cambodia had been stalking(蹑手蹑脚地走近) their dinner in Golden Gate Park. San Franciscans could not un
42、derstand how the newcomers could hunt and eat squirrels(松鼠) and stray dogs; the Indochinese(印度支那人) could not understand why San Franciscans did not a classic case of the same object (in this case, dogs) having different cultural meanings. Even within our own culture we can see great variation in how
43、 people think about the same re source. Some people see dogs as working animals, acquired to protect our apartments or livestock; others treat their dogs as special friends or even substitute children.（分数：8.00）(1).According to the passage, beliefs _.（分数：2.00）A.can be explained by common senseB.are p
44、redictions for the futureC.vary in different culturesD.can only apply to abstract concepts(2).If you were a Vietnamese, you would believe that time _.（分数：2.00）A.can not be reversedB.is passing by tickingC.can be recurredD.is moving in cycles(3).The word “unique“ (Par（分数：2.00）A.2) most probably means
45、 _.A. usualB. having no likeC. differentD. having no standard(4).It can be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.the Indochinese are glad to hunt and eat squirrelsB.San Franciscans enjoy stalking their dinner in Golden Gate ParkC.some people treat dogs as special friends or even substitute chi
46、ldrenD.varied ideas about the same object can be found even in one culture十、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：8.00)The computer has changed the way we work, team, communicate, and play; Virtually ewery kind of organization throughout the world conducts business with computers.

Computer games entertain people of all ages.Almost all computers are electronic digital computers. They are electronic in their use
48、of electric current(电流) to carry information. They are digital in. that they process information as units of electric charge representing numbers. The word digital means having to do with numbers. To enable a computer to process information that is not numerical such as words, pictures, or sounds th
49、e computer or some other the strange drab(黄褐色的) feathering, so unlike that of most birds, gives them a cloak(伪装)of invisibility while they sleep. And when night falls, out they come to scratch in the ground and find worms and feed to their hearts content.They couldnt do that so effectively if they didnt have another peculiarity that I have not mentioned yet. The nostrils(鼻孔) of most birds open hi
