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 undev
14、eloped forms of speech, consisting largely of rough 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
15、 extremely complex pieces of tool for the transfer 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 ref
16、lects the objects and activities known to their speakers.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
17、are different from ours. The objects and activities which require distinction are often surprisingly numerous and complicated.25 What does the word “superiority“ (Line 1, Para. 1) mean?（A）Being complete.（B） Being better.（C） Being large.（D）Being tiny.26 We can learn from the first paragraph that _.（A

21、eveloped from simple sounds.（D）All languages seem to possess the system for vocabulary expansion.Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.30 Friends play an important role in our lives, and although we may take friendship
22、for granted, we often dont clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjo
23、y being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy between them and the reasons for their shared interest vary enormously. As we get to know people we take into account things like age, race, economic conditions, social position and intelligence. These factors are of prime importance, as it i
24、s often more difficult to get on with people when there is a clear difference in means, background, maturity, and/or capabilities.Some friendly relationships can be kept on despite argument or heated discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas, beliefs, attitudes, and interes
25、ts. In fact, close friends may sometimes talk about “being on the same wavelength“. It generally takes time to reach this point. And the more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on each other, People want to do friends favors and hate to break a promise. Equally, friends have to le
26、arn to put up with any annoying habits and to tolerate differences of opinion.In contrast with marriage, there are no government-sanctioned friendship ceremonies to strengthen the association between two people. But the support and understanding of each other that result from shared experiences and
27、emotions do seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome difference in background, and thus break down barriers of age, class, or race.30 According to the author, _.（A）all those who get on well with each other are friends（B） friends are closer than people who just get on well with each other（C
28、） everyone understands clearly how to make friends（D）every student has six friends31 When we make friends, we might consider the other persons age because _.（A）it is not easy to stay friends with someone who shows a clear difference in maturity（B） the degree of friendship between two people and the
29、reason for their shared interest can vary greatly（C） friends need to know all these things（D）this is the most important factor to making friends32 In paragraph two, “being the same on the wavelength“ means _.（A）using the same frequency while talking（B） keeping the same friendly relationship as other

40、rief answers to the 5 questions (No.56 through No.60) following them. 45 In recent years, there has been a big increase in air travel and many large airports have now reached the limit of the number of aircraft movements they can handle. The problem is made worse by the size of many major cities whi
41、ch prevents the extension of existing airports. Any new airports to be built a long way from city centers will create communication problems and in many countries there simply isnt enough land for such developments.Now a new proposal has been put forward which would help to relieve the congestion (拥
42、挤), as far as short flights are concerned. This involves the use of smaller aircraft, carrying about 50 passengers, which only require a short take - off or landing area and which make comparatively little noise because they are propeller -driven (螺旋桨推进). Such aircraft could operate much nearer city
43、 centers, say, on disused industrial sites, and give a good service to businessmen and other travelers who are going between centers, which are relatively close, such as European capitals.The main problem remaining is the question of noise. There has been so much publicity in recent years regarding
44、the high level of noise near airports, that any government can expect to find considerable resistance to building new airports in towns, even though these short -range small planes are relatively quiet. The fact remains that increasing numbers of people want to travel by air and will accept somewhat
45、 slower flights if they can have the convenience of an airport near the city center. In the end. its a question of compromise between the travelers and the local inhabitants.45 Recently, what has happened to the airports due to the increase of air travel?46 What are the two main problems to build a
46、new airport?47 What is the new proposal?48 What is the publicity about if a new airport is built near towns?49 What does the success of airports closing to city centers mainly depend on?50 He had had a long walk.
