34、in which many or all people live and think in the same ways”所以文化是指一个团体或社会中大多数人共有的思维和生活方式。但这并不说明所有的人都具备这样的行为或思维方式。3.Although culture is only specific to humans, non-human animals also have cultural behaviors.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Y）解析：虽然文化是人类特有的，根据第十段“Humans are not alone in their ability to learn b
35、ehaviors，only in the amount and complexity of what they can learn”动物也有文化行为，只不过程度、复杂性有所不同。4.The colors red, white and blue have a connection with the American flag.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：N）解析：根据第四段第二句“For instance，most people in the United States find some meaning in the combination of the colors red
36、，white，and blue”大多数人认为红、白、蓝这三种颜色在一起，会代表一定的含义，接着下一句话转折“But those colors themselves have nothing to do with，for instance，the land that people call the United States，the concept of patriotism，or the USnational anthem(圣歌)，The Star Spangled Banner”其实这三种颜色与它们常指代的美国国旗或国歌没有任何联系。5.Infants dont have the capac
37、ity to communicate and understand through symbols.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：N）解析：第五段第一句话“People have the capacity at birth to construct，understand，and communicate through symbols，primarily by using language”人们生来就有用符号构建、理解和交流的能力，因此这句话是错误的。6.Animals are not born with the capacity to use symbolic communic
38、ation although some animals such as chimpanzees can be trained to develop certain amount of vocabularies.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Y）解析：第六段的第一句话“Language provides a means to store，process，and communicate amounts of information that vastly exceed the capabilities of nonhuman animals”是这一段的中心句，指出“语言是存贮、处理
39、、交流信息的主要方式，动物没有这种能力”，并且用 chimpanzees的例子说明尽管有些动物如猩猩能够掌握一些词汇，但它们生来不具备用符号交流的能力。7.Nonhuman animals have no culture because they dont have a developed brain.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：NG）解析：文中设有指明动物没有文化的原因是因为它们大脑不发达。8.Four distinguishing characteristics of culture are mentioned in the passage.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:
40、_ （正确答案：Y）解析：文中提到的文化的四个特点是“culture is symbolic，learned，shared and adaptive”9.Apart from language, the passage gives another example of symbolic communication, which is 1.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：art）解析：第三段第三句话“Language and other forms of symbolic communication，such as art，enable people to create，expla
41、in， and record new ideas and information”此处给出另外一个 symbolic communication的例子是 art。10. 1 provides a means to store, process and communicate information that nonhuman animals cant.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Language）解析：根据第六段第一句话“Language provides a means to store，process，and communicate amounts of informat
42、ion that vastly exceed the capabilities of nonhuman animals”因此答案是language。11. 1 is the major part of enculturation.（分数：7.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：Learning a human language）解析：出处在第九段第二句 Just learning the intricacies of a human language，a major part of enculturation，takes many years。四、Part Listening Com(总题数：0
