20、. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of e
21、xpression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the part
22、is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille(a system of raised dots read with fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoking signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and
23、 instruct people.While verbalization(词语表达)is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.41 Which of the following best summarizes this passage?（A）When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.（B） Everybody uses
24、only one form of communication.（C） Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners.（D）Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest.42 Which of the following statement is NOT true?（A）There are many forms of communication in existence today.（B） Verbalization is the most

26、fferent forms of communication are mentioned here?（A）5（B） 7（C） 9（D）1145 Signal language is said to be very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally except for_.（A）spelling（B） ideas（C） whole works（D）expressions45 The first big wave of Chinese immigration(移民)to America came when gold was
27、discovered in California in 1848. The Chinese called the new land “Mountain of Gold“. Those who did not become miners found work in railroad construction, farming and light industries, doing low-paid jobs. By the 1880s, American industrialization brought changing economic realities, resulting in an
28、explosion of resentment, toward the Chinese laborer. He was accused of taking jobs away from the white man. The government issued Exclusion Acts(排外法案)to stop the immigration of Chinese laborers into the United States. Many workers fled from the concentrated Chinese communities in the West and scatte
29、red to the Mid-west and the East. As in California, they formed small pockets of Chinese culture that were known as “ Chinatown“.New Yorks Chinatown was created by men such as these sociologists(社会学家)call them “sojourners“ foreigners in the United States, clinging to their cultural traditions, livin
30、g in isolation and resisting being absorbed into the larger society in which they existed. The sojourner came to America for the promise of supporting his family in China, where he expected to return one day. Those who did stay lived separately from the societythe Exclusion Acts did not allow labore
31、rs to bring their wives to America. So they remained in Chinatown, an enclosed community holding on to traditions amid the tides of change.46 What is the main idea of this passage?（A）Chinatown underwent great changes after gold was discovered in 1848.（B） Exclusion Acts brought great sufferings to th
32、e Chinese laborers.（C） Chinese laborers were cruelly exploited by the white people.（D）Chinese immigration to America resulted in the forming of Chinatown.47 The word “resentment“ means_.（A）unemployment（B） anger（C） immigration（D）gold rush48 Before the Exclusion Acts, most of the Chinese in the United
33、 States lived_.（A）in the West（B） in the East（C） in the Mid-west（D）in the Mid-east49 The word “pockets“ doesnt means_.（A）changes（B） places（C） fields（D）areas50 According to the passage, Chinese immigrants_.（A）lost their hopes of returning to their home country（B） tried to find a place in the larger so
34、ciety（C） kept their own traditions in spite of social changes（D）were free to take whatever jobs they like50 Like business and industry, the academic world is changing as technology advances. Libraries are one place we see changes. Many innovative(革新的)things are happening in both public and universit
35、y libraries. Libraries are using new equipment and techniques for research, and librarians are teaching students the new techniques.One service that some university libraries are now providing is a computer search of materials for students doing research. Before starting a research project, students
36、 check with their library to see if a computer search is worthwhile. This kind of search cannot help with all research projects, but it can save time if the topic is in the computers database(数据库). When you are doing a manual search(用手查询)for a research paper, you look at all the indexes(索引)appropria
37、te to the research topic. You look up the words related to the topic in the indexes. It takes many hours to look up this information, and write down the references. A computer search is faster and easier. You and a librarian decide on the words to enter into the computer. Then the computer looks for
38、 these words in this database and gives you a list of references for your topic. A computer can take two or more ideas and produce references that combine those ideas. A computer search can also be more complete than a manual search.College and university libraries are providing other technological
39、services as well. Another change is the frequent use of microfilm. Librarians are able to collect more material in one building by having newspapers, magazines, and other documents on microfilm. Students use microfilm readers(阅读器)in the library for these materials.These innovations in libraries are
40、helpful to library users, but they are also expensive. Many libraries are facing budget(预算)problems. There is more technology available today; as a result, libraries are paying higher costs for the equipment that makes research easier.51 In academics as well as in business and industry_.（A）technolog
41、y advance is causing changes（B） technology does not progress so fast as in other fields（C） technological innovations have not taken place yet（D）the techniques used as almost the same as they were 50 years ago52 Before research begins, students find out at the library_.（A）if the computer looks throug
42、h its database to choose their topic（B） if the computer writes out a list of the words they entered（C） if a computer search will be useful（D）if librarians are helpful to them53 When the computers database includes the research topic, _.（A）computer searches are not helpful with research project（B） co
43、mputer searches are useless for most kinds of research（C） a computer search for materials is the best way to begin any type of research（D）computer searches can save time54 Libraries can keep larger amounts of material by_.（A）buying a lot of newspapers（B） collecting more information on other universi
44、ty buildings（C） using different indexes from other university libraries（D）having microfilm copies of newspapers and other documents55 What can be concluded from the last paragraph?（A）Libraries have budget problems because of the many library users.（B） Libraries have microfilm because it is easier to
45、 use than newspapers.（C） Technological innovations are helpful but expensive.（D）Technological equipment makes research easier for the library users.55 After inventing dynamite(炸药), Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive power too late. Nobel
46、 preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contribution to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace
47、. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony.Nobels original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $ 30,000 to $ 125,000.Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobels death, the
48、 awards(gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money)are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literary prizes.No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War
49、 II. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.56 When did the first award ceremony take place?（A）1895（B） 1901（C） 1962（D）196857 In order_, the Nobel Prize was established.（A）to recognize worthwhile contributions to humanity（B） to resolve political differences（C） to honor t
