In this sense every group has a culture however sav
9、age, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us. To the professional anthropologist, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages. People once thought of the languages of backward groups as sava
10、ge, undeveloped forms of speech, consisting largely of grunts (呼噜声 ) and groans (呻吟 ). While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of “backward“ languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most langua
11、ges of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideas. They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs
12、, but only in their vocabularies, which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this department, however, two things are to be noted: (1) All languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borr
13、owing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. (2)The objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in “backward“ languages; while different form ours, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. A Western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of re
14、moteness (“this“ and “that“); some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed, or removed from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future. This study of language, in turn, casts a new light upon the claim of the anthrop
15、ologists that all cultures are to be viewed independently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy. 16 There is no hierarichy among cultures. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 People think the languages of backward groups are lacking Complexity. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 18 P

28、 31-45题，每题 3分，共 45分 ) 下面有 3篇短文后有 5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题选 1个最佳选项。 31 Thinking from a teacher As the fall semester ended, my students had a chance to turn to tables on their teacher. They got to grade me anonymously, assessing the clarity of my thinking, my organizational skills and the depth of my knowledge
29、. At their best, such evaluations keep me alert to what works and what does not. Students reflect my performance back to me, and I am glad to learn what they think of my teaching, so that I might try to improve. I am also aware that the students comments become the primary evidence of my abilities,
30、a paper trail following me throughout my career. When I come up for review, the promotion committee will examine my evaluations to determine just what kind of teacher I am. There is, of course, nothing wrong with accountability. But this system assumes that what students need is the same as what the
31、y want. Reading my evaluations every semester has taught me otherwise. Many students expectations for their courses have changed, reflecting, in part, the business model more universities are following. Classes are considered services, and parents are eager to get their moneys worth from their child
32、rens education. Students feel pressure from their parents to derive practical use from their courses. This could make sense for an engineering course, but in my field, creative writing, which rarely churns out polished 21-year-old writers, it is trickier to provide the results that the career-minded
33、 student craves. Then I stumbled upon some dubious teaching techniques, reversed the criticisms of these chronically unhappy students and improved my student evaluations for the semester. My record would reflect a smart, attentive, encouraging teacher. But I would argue that I taught these students
34、little. They loved me because I agreed that writing should be easy. I know other teachers who have done the same thing: teach your heart out to the teachable but be sure to please the unteachable, to keep your ratings high like a politician trying to improve his poll results. I believe in the strugg
35、le, and most students I have met do too. But I still cant help wincing when I read, “The instructor is mean.“ “Marcus is not committed to my work.“ “This class sucks.“ The business model has taught me that the customer is always right. But maybe a few more dissatisfied customer would mean a better l
36、earning experience. 31 What does the phrase “turn the tables on their teachers“ in Para. 1 mean? （ A） Students turn the tables to their teachers. （ B） Students praise their teachers. （ C） Students evaluate their teachers. （ D） Students criticize their teachers. 32 Why has the students expectation of
37、 their courses changed? （ A） Because the business model has changed. （ B） Because they want to improve their other abilities. （ C） Because they feel great pressure from the society. （ D） Because they have to satisfy their parents, 33 Why does the author say “classes are considered service“? （ A） Bec
38、ause education is commercial activity. （ B） Because the parents are anxious to see their feedback of investment on their children. （ C） Because the students are the schools God and the teachers must serve the students. （ D） Because the relationship between the teacher and the students is the busines
39、sman and the customer. 34 What kind of teaching method does the author use in his writing class? （ A） Dubious teaching method. （ B） Encouraging the poor students. （ C） Praising the excellent students. （ D） Improving the evaluation for the students. 35 What was achieved at the end of the writing clas
40、s? （ A） The students all learned a lot. （ B） The students liked his class very much. （ C） The writing class became an easy course for the students. （ D） The students sang the teachers praises. 36 Death penalty With the possible exception of equal rights, perhaps the most controversial issue across t
41、he united States today is the death penalty. Many argue that it is an effective deterrent to murder, while others maintain there is no convincing evidence that the death penalty reduces the number of murders. The principal argument advanced by those opposed to the death penalty, basically, is that i
42、t is cruel and inhuman punishment, that it is the mark of a brutal society, and finally that it is of questionable effectiveness as a deterrent to crime anyway. In our opinion, the death penalty is a necessary evil. Throughout recorded history there have always been those extreme individuals in ever
43、y society who were capable of terribly violent crimes such as murder. But some are more extreme than others. For example, it is one thing to take the life of another in a fit of blind rage, but quite another to coldly plot and carry out the murder of another one or more people in the style of a butc
44、her. Thus, murder, like all other crimes, is a matter of relative degree. While it could be argued with some conviction that the criminal in the first instance should be merely isolated from society, such should not be the fate of the latter type murderer. The value of the death penalty as a deterre
45、nt to crime may be open to debate. But the overwhelming majority of citizens believe that the death penalty protects them. Their belief is reinforced by evidence which shows that the death penalty deters murder. For example, from 1954 to 1963, when the death penalty was consistently imposed in Calif
46、ornia, the murder rate remained between three and four murders for each 100,000 population, Since 1964 the death penalty has been imposed only once, and the murder rate has risen to 10.4 murders for each 100,000 population. The sharp climb in the states murder rate, which began when executions stopp
47、ed, is no coincidence. It is convincing evidence that the death penalty does deter many murderers. If the bill reestablishing the death penalty is vetoed, innocent people will be murdered some whose lives may have been saved if the death penalty were in effect. This is literally a life or death matt
48、er. The lives of thousands of innocent people must be protected. 36 The main purpose of this passage is to _. （ A） criticize the government for its incompetence （ B） explain the differences between two types of murders （ C） argue for the value of the death penalty （ D） initiate a veto over the bill
49、reestablishing the death penalty 37 The passage attempts to establish a relationship between _. （ A） the importance of equal rights and that of the death penalty （ B） executions and human rights （ C） the effects of execution and the effects of isolation （ D） the murder rate and the importance of the death penalty 38 The authors response to those who urge the death penalty for all degrees of murder would most likely be _. （ A） hostile （ B） friendly （ C） negative （ D） supportive 39 In the passage the aut
