36、a culture, however 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 undeve
37、loped. 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 languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex.
38、They differ from Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this aspect, two things are to be noted. First,
39、 all languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. Second, the objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in “backward“ languages, w
40、hile different from the West, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. A Western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness(“this“ and “that“. But some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed, or remo
41、ved from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future.61 Every group of human beings has_.（A）its own set of ideas, beliefs and ways of life（B） an extremely complex and delicate language（C） its own elegant music, literature, and other arts（D）the process of growing crops or raising animals6

43、s（D）ingenuous64 “Backward“ languages fall behind Western languages in_.（A）structures（B） vocabularies（C） written forms（D）sound patterns65 All languages, whether civilized or not, have their own_.（A）ways to transfer ideas（B） forms to satisfy needs（C） abilities to answer description（D）systems to expand
44、 vocabulary66 Which of the following statements is implied in the passage?（A）Anthropologists have nothing to do with linguists.（B） Linguists have nothing to do with anthropologists.（C） The study of languages casts light upon the study of cultures.（D）The study of cultures casts no light upon the stud

47、ns disreputable women and men with little or no medical knowledge who promise quick cures at cheap prices. The reasons why quackery thrives even in modern times are easy to find. To begin with, pain seems to be a chronic human condition. A person whose body or mind hurts“ will often pay any amount o
48、f money for the promise of relief. Second, even the best medical treatment cannot cure all the ills that beset men and women. People who mistrust or dislike the truths that their physicians tell them often turn to more sympathetic ears.Many people lack the training necessary to evaluate medical clai
49、ms. Given the choice between(a)a reputable physician who says a cure for cancer will be long, expensive and may not work at all, and(b)a salesperson who says that several bottles of a secret formula “snake oil“ will cure not only cancer but tuberculosis as well, some individuals will opt for “snake oil“Many “ snake oil“ remedies are highly laced with alcohol or narcotic drugs. Anyone who drinks them may get so drunk or
