Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 In ancient times most cultures and civilizations made some reference to the origin of th
9、eir languages. However, they did not study language by observation or experimentationat least as far as we can judge from records that have survived to this day. Most comments on the origins of languages come to us in folk-tales or religious writings. But the Greek historian Herodotus tells us of on
10、e experiment.An Egyptian king named Psammmetichos wished to find out which was the worlds oldest language. To gain this information he decided to isolate two new born babies until they began to speak. Because they were kept from adults, they would have no patterns to imitate. The king made the assum
11、ption that the children would speak what was a natural languagewhich would be the oldest. After some months the children were heard to make a Sound which was recorded as “bekos“. This was found to be very similar to the Phrygian word for “bread“. Therefore Phrygianca language once spoken in Asia. Mi
12、nor was considered to be the flint language of mankind. At least by King Psammetichos, and we may assume by his court.21 The two babies were deliberately kept from adults _.（A）to whether they could learn to speak without the help of adults（B） to prove that Phrygian was the first language of mankind（

15、as utterly ridiculous and not worth mentioning 24 According to the author, the kings conclusion _.（A）was accepted by everybody（B） caused heated arguments（C） was probably accepted by his court（D）Was not believed by anyone except himself 24 During the summer session these will be a revised schedule of
16、 services for the university community. Specific changes for intercampus bus services, the cafeteria, and summer hours for the infirmary (医务室) and recreational and athletic facilities will be posted on the bulletin beard outside of the cafeteria. Weekly movie and concert schedules which are in the p
17、rocess of being arranged will be posted each Wednesday outside of the cafeteria.Intercampus buses will leave the main hall every hour on the half hour and make all of the regular stops on their route around the campus. The cafeteria will serve breakfast, lunch, and early dinner from 7 a. m. to 7 p.
18、m. during the week and from noon to 7 p. m. on weekends. The library will maintain regular hours during the week, but shorter hours on Saturdays and Sundays. The weekend hours are from noon to 7 p. mAll students who want to use the library borrowing services and the recreational, athletic, and enter
19、tainment facilities must have valid summer identification cards. This announcement will also appear in the next issue of the student newspaper. 25 Which of the following is the main purpose of this announcement?（A）To tell campus personnel of the new library services.（B） To announce the new movies on
20、 campus this summer.（C） To notify university people of important schedule changes.（D）To remind students to validate (使生效) their identification cards. 26 Specific schedule revisions for which of the following facilities are listed in this announcement?（A）Athletic and recreational.（B） Food and transpo
21、rtation.（C） Bookstore and post office.（D）Medical and audio-visual (视听的). 27 Times for movies and concerts are not listed in this announcement because _.（A）a film or concert occurs every Wednesday at 7 p. m.（B） the full list would be too long（C） films and concerts cannot be announced publicly（D）the f

23、ct that today viruses (病毒) are known to cause cancer in animals and in certain plants, there exists a great reluctance to accept viruses as being of importance in human cancer. Basic biological phenomena generally do not differ strikingly as one goes from one species to another. It should be recogni
24、zed that cancer is a biological problem and not a problem that is unique for man. Cancer originates when a normal cell suddenly becomes a cancer cell which multiplies widely and without apparent restraint. Cancer may originate in many different kinds of cell, but the cancer cell usually continues to
25、 carry certain traits (特性) of the cell of origin. The transformation of a normal cell into a cancer cell may have more than one kind of cause, but them is good reason to consider the relationships that exist between viruses and cancer.Since there is no evidence that human cancer, as generally experi
26、enced, is infections, many persons believe that because viruses are infections agents they cannot possibly be of importance in human cancer. However, viruses can mutate (突变) and examples are known in which a virus that never kills its host can mutate to form a new strain of virus that always kills i
27、ts host. It does not seem unreasonable to assume that an innocuous (无害的) latent (潜伏的) virus might mutate to form a strain that causes cancer. Certainly the experimental evidence now available is consistent with the idea that viruses as we know them today, could be the causative (引起的 ) agents of most
28、, if not all cancer, including cancer in man. 29 Cancer should be considered to be a biological problem rather than a medical one because _.（A）viruses are known to cause cancer in animals（B） at present, human cancer is not believed to be contagious (传染的)（C） there are many known causes for the transf
29、ormation of a normal cell to a cancer cell（D）results of experiments on plants and animals do not vary greatly from species tn species 30 The possibility that a virus causes human cancer is indicated by _.（A）the fact that viruses have been known to mutate（B） the fact that a cancer-immune individual m
30、ay lose his immunity（C） the fact that production of human cancer cells might be due to a genetic factor（D）the fact that man is host to many viruses 31 Many people believe that viruses cannot possibly be of importance in human cancer because _.（A）they are innocuous agencies（B） they are the causative
31、agents of most human cancer（C） they seem to be infections to many people（D）they are generally thought to be relevant to most cancer in man 32 The best title for this passage is _.（A）New Light on the Cause of Cancer（B） The Newest Theory on the Nature of Viruses（C） Viruses and Cancer（D）On the Nature o
32、f Life 32 There are various in which individual economic units can interact with one another. Three basic ways may be described as the market system, the administered system and the traditional system.In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the marketpla
33、ce. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them. In a market, transactions may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wan
34、ts to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence, the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. In the modem market economy, goods and services are bought or sold for money.An alternative to the .market system is administrat
35、ive control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue edicts or commands as to how much of each good and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy. The central plan, drawn up by the g
36、overnment, shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated to different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planing of production, consumption, and exchange for the whole economy.In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are
37、governed by tradition: every persons place within the economic system is fixed by parentage, religion and custom. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for other persons, provide them with food and shelter,
38、 care for their health, and provide for their education. Clearly, in a system where every decision is made on the basis of tradition alone, progress may be difficult to achieve. A stagnant society may result.33 What is main purpose of the passage?（A）To outline contrasting types of economy.（B） To exp
39、lain the science of economics.（C） To argue for the superiority of one economics.（D）To compare barter and money exchange markets. 34 In the second paragraph, the word “real“ in “real goods“ could best be replaced by which of the following?（A）high quality（B） concrete（C） utter（D）authentic 35 According
40、to the passage, a barter economy can lead to _.（A）rapid speed of transaction（B） misunderstanding（C） inflation（D）difficulties for the traders 36 According to the passage, who has the greatest degree of control in an administered system?（A）Individual households.（B） Small business.（C） Major corporation
41、s.（D）The government. 36 What do we think with? Only the brain? Hardly. The brain is tike a telephone exchange. It is the switchboard, but not the whole system. Its function is to receive incoming signals, make proper connections, and send the messages through to their destination. For efficient serv
42、ice, the body must function as a whole.But where is the “mind? Is it in the brain? Or perhaps in the nervous system? After all, can we say that the mind is in any particular place? It is not a thing like a leg or even the brain. It is a function, an activity. Aristotle, twenty-three hundred years ag
43、o, observed that the mind was to the body what cutting was to the ax. When the ax is not in use, there is no cutting. So with the mind. “mind“ said Charles H Woolbert, “is what the body is doing.“If this activity is necessary for thinking, it is also necessary for carrying thought from one person to
44、 another. Observe how people go about the business of ordinary conversation. If you have never done this painstakingly (费力的), you have a surprise in motion. Their heads are continually nodding and shaking sometimes so vigorously that you wonder how their necks can stand the strain.Even the legs and
45、feet are active. As for the hands and arms, they are seldom still for more than a few seconds at a time.These people, remember, are not making speeches. They are merely common folk trying to make others understand what they have in mind. They are not conscious of movement. Their speech is not studie
46、d. They are just human creatures in a human environment, trying to adapt themselves to a social situation. Yet they converse, not only with oral language but with visible actions that involve practically every muscle in the body.In short, because people really think all over, a speaker must talk all
47、 over if he succeeds in making people think.37 Which of the following is the best title for passage?（A）Bodily Communication.（B） Bodily Actions.（C） Spoken Language.（D）Conversations. 38 Which of the following statements would the author agree with?（A）Thinking is a social phenomenon.（B） Thinking is sol
48、ely a brain function.（C） Thinking is a function of the nervous system.（D）Thinking is the sum total of bodily activity 39 In communication, it is essential not only to employ speech, but also _.（A）to speak directly to the other person（B） to employ a variety of bodily movements（C） to be certain that t
49、he other person is listening（D）to pay great attention to the other persons behaviour 40 It can be inferred from the passage that the basic function of bodily activity in speech is to _.（A）make the listener feel emotional（B） make the speaker understood（C） amplify or intensify the speakers spoken words（D）convey the speakers implied meaning to the listener 四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages
