15、he professional linguist, there is no superiority of any language. Therefore, it is well-accepted in the field of linguistics that there exist no higher or lower grades among languages. People once thought of tile languages of backward groups as undeveloped forms of speech, consisting largely of rou
16、gh and simple sounds. It is possible that language in general began as a series of simple sounds. But it is a fact established by the study of “backward“ languages that no spoken tongue answers that description. Most languages of “backward“ groups are extremely complex pieces of tool for the transfe
17、r of ideas. They “fall behind“ the western languages not in their sound pattern or grammatical structures but only in their vocabularies. The sound pattern or grammatical structures usually are fully adequate for all language needs. The vocabulary reflects the objects and activities known to their s
18、peakers. There are two things to be noted. Firstly, all languages seem to possess ways for vocabulary expansion. Vocabulary expands either by putting together its own words or by borrowing words from other languages. Secondly, the “backward“ languages are different from ours. The objects and activit
19、ies which require distinction are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. 26 What does the word “superiority“ (Line 1, Para. 1) mean? （ A） Being complete. （ B） Being better. （ C） Being large. （ D） Being tiny. 27 We can learn from the first paragraph that _. （ A） some kind of languages may be be
20、tter than others （ B） we can not say one language is better than others （ C） it is difficult to know which language is better than others （ D） language contains some grades 28 The languages of backward groups were regarded as underdeveloped because _. （ A） their languages were difficult to understan
21、d （ B） the history of their languages was not long （ C） the sounds of their languages were very easy to understand （ D） their languages mainly contained rough and simple sounds 29 In the authors view, some languages “fall behind“ western languages in the aspect of _. （ A） their sound pattern （ B） th
22、eir grammatical structures （ C） their vocabularies （ D） their speakers 30 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? （ A） Language is to be viewed with ranks or grades. （ B） Most languages of “backward“ groups are complex enough to express ideas. （ C） Generally languages are probab
23、ly developed from simple sounds. （ D） All languages seem to possess the system for vocabulary expansion. Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 31 Birds are warm-blooded, vertebrate animals whose bodies are covered wit
24、h feathers. Other characteristics of birds are: wings; a short tail bone; the visible tail being composed entirely of feathers; a weak or nonexistent sense of smell; no teeth; and keen hearing, despite the absence of external ears. As in mammals (哺乳动物 ), the only other group of warm-blooded animals,
25、 the blood in the veins (静脉 ) of birds is kept totally separated from the blood in the arteries(动脉 ). Birds evolved from reptiles, especially from some small dinosaur-relative. Gradually the scales of the dinosaur evolved into feathers, perhaps first for insulation as the animal evolved from cord to
26、 wing blade but later for flight. It is still unknown, however, whether flight developed when a ground-living form began to flap its wings to increase its running speed (like the ostrich today), or when a tree climbing form used imperfect wings to aid it in leaping from tree limb to tree limb. The e
27、volution from reptile to the bird as we know it concluded about 75 million years ago, at the beginning of the Tertiary period, or age of mammals. The earliest classification of birds relied upon easily recognized external characteristics or upon peculiarities of behavior or appearance. For example,
28、all web-footed birds were grouped together and all seed-eating birds were grouped together. Since the 19th century and the general acceptance of evolution, however, this method has given way to a sounder and more scientific procedure. Birds, as well as all other living things, are now classified in
29、a way that best expresses their blood relationships and lines of descent. This kind of classification is known as a phylogenetic classification(系谱分类 ). 31 This passage is most probably taken from a _. （ A） piece of science fiction (科幻小说 ) （ B） lecture （ C） romantic story （ D） news story 32 What sens
30、e is weak or nonexistent among birds? （ A） Hearing. （ B） Sight. （ C） Smell. （ D） Taste. 33 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? （ A） Birds evolved from reptiles. （ B） It is known to all that flight developed when a ground-living form began to flap its wings to increase its runnin
31、g speed. （ C） It is known to all that flight developed when a tree-climbing form used imperfect wings to aid it in leaping from tree limb to tree limb. （ D） The evolution from reptile to the bird concluded about 75 thousand years ago. 34 The last paragraph is about _. （ A） the senses of birds （ B） t
32、he classification of birds （ C） the evolution of birds （ D） the characteristic of birds 35 What can we infer from the passage? （ A） All the senses of birds are very keen. （ B） All birds can fly. （ C） The earliest classification of birds was not very sound or scientific. （ D） Birds were given a sound
33、 and scientific classification from the very beginning. 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). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than 3 words) on the blanks. 36 Magazine The fir
34、st magazine was a little periodical called The Review, and it was started in London in 1704. It looked a lot like the newspapers of the time. But in terms of its content, it was much different. Newspapers were concerned mainly with news events, but The Review focused on important domestic issues of
35、the day, as well as the policies of the government. In England at the time, people could be thrown in jail for publishing articles that were critical of the king. And thats what happened to Daniel Defoe. He was the outspoken founder of The Review. Defoe actually wrote the first issue of The Review f
36、rom prison. You see, he had been arrested because of his writings that criticized the policies of the Church of England, which was headed by the king. After his release, Defoe continued to produce The Review and the magazine started to appear on a more frequent schedule, about three times a week. It
37、 didnt take long for other magazines to start popping up. In 1709, a magazine called The Tattler began publication. This new magazine contained a mixture of news, poetry, political analysis, and philosophical essays. Magazine The name of the first magazine:【 46】 . The founder of the first magazine:【
