Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You
17、should make the correct choice. 36 It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he does so in so short a period of time challenges explanation. Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount of listeni
18、ng they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey“ spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey“ is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they
19、can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few mon
20、ths one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress(痛苦 ), sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months t
21、hey play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their repertoire (能发出的全部声音 ). This self-imitation leads on to deliberate (有意识的 ) imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. 36 By “. challenges explanation“ (the end of Para.1) the au
22、thor means that _. （ A） no explanation is necessary for such an obvious phenomenon （ B） no explanation has been made up to now （ C） its no easy job to provide an adequate explanation （ D） its high time that an explanation was provided 37 The third paragraph is mainly about _. （ A） the development of
23、 babies early forms of language （ B） the difficulties of babies in learning to speak （ C） babies strong desire to communicate （ D） babies intention to communicate 38 The authors purpose in writing the second paragraph is to show that children _. （ A） usually obey without asking questions （ B） are pa
24、ssive in the process of learning to speak （ C） are born cooperative （ D） learn to speak by listening 39 From the passage we learn that _. （ A） early starters can learn to speak within only six months （ B） children show a strong desire to communicate by making noises （ C） imitation plays an important
25、 role in learning to speak （ D） children have various difficulties in learning to speak 40 The best title for this passage would be _. （ A） How Babies Learn to Speak （ B） Early Forms of Language （ C） A Huge Task of Children （ D） Noise Making and Language Learning Task 2 Directions: This task is the
26、same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would argue that these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, how
27、ever, is: how does the community want or need to be served? In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the government and the public to ensure that they do not remain “ivory towers“ (象牙塔 ) of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teach
28、ers have been encouraged, and in some cases constrained (强逼 ), to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercially useful purpose. If Aristotle wanted to work in university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science b
29、ut would not be so readily employable as a philosopher. A postindustrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but “man“, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone.“ Apart from requiring medical
30、and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through dollars as any other things. 41 The main idea of the
31、 first paragraph is that _. （ A） universities must meet the need of the society （ B） universities play an important role in our society （ C） research and teaching are of great importance in universities （ D） traditional universities do a good job serving the society 42 We can infer from the second p
32、aragraph that _. （ A） the governments interfere too much with college education （ B） the society is not satisfied with the present college education （ C） teachers dislike teaching commercially useful courses （ D） teachers are forced to do what they dont like to do 43 The Aristotle example is used to
33、 make the point that _. （ A） education should serve the social needs （ B） it is advisable for todays philosophers to know computer science （ C） such abstract subjects as philosophy is no longer useful （ D） universities in the U.K. have produced too many good-for-nothing graduates 44 According to the
34、 passage, literature, music and the arts _. （ A） should develop only when they are good for economic growth （ B） do not contribute to economic growth at all （ C） are less useful to the society because they do not make direct contributions to economic growth （ D） are similar to medical and social ser
35、vices in their way of promoting economic growth 45 The author believes that _. （ A） the society needs both technical skills and arts （ B） art is useful only when it is made into a money earner （ C） universities should not provide literature or art courses （ D） the promotion of economic growth is the
36、 only goal of todays society Task 3 Directions: The following is a passage. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline in the table below (No. 46 through 50).
