| 第2、3、4、5、6题：Culture is the sum total of all the tradition, customs, beliefs, and ways to life of a given group of human being. In this sense, every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us. To the professional anthropologists, 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 savage, undeveloped forms of speech, consisted largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact establish by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers the description today. Most languages 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 language not in their sound patterns or grammatical structure, 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 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 borrowing 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 from ours, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. A western language distinguished merely between two degrees of remoteness ("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 but 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 anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewed independently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy. 46. The language of uncivilized groups as compared to western language are limited in _______. A. vocabularies B. grammatical structures C. sound patterns D. both A and B 47. The statement that "every group has a culture" grows out of the author's ______. A. definition of culture B. philosophy C. feeling about human beings D. bias in regard to civilized human 48. According to the author, anthropologists would have all culture viewed _____. A. comparatively B. independently C. intrinsically D. hierarchically 49. According to the author, language whether "civilized or not" have ____. A. the potential for expanding vocabulary b. the potential for increasing sound patterns C. the same way to transfer ideas D. the same grammatical structures 50. Implied but not stated: ______. A. the study of language is the same as the study of anthropology B. the study of language has reinforced anthropologists in their view that there is no hierarchy cultures C. the study of languages discredited the anthropological studies D. the study of language casts a new light upon the claims of anthropologists |

| 第9、10、11、12、13题：Because Ireland is an island geographically near the mainland of the United Kingdom, English rulers have fought since the Middle-English Ages to retain political control over it. Attracted by the lush farmland, English and Scottish landowners settled there, and in time of famine or political unrest, the local workers suffered, while their landlords were cushioned by their wealth. The history of modern Ireland is, in fact, largely a story of antagonism and resentment between the Irish and their English and Scottish rulers. Since the 1920's, Ireland has been divided into two parts: Northern Ireland (Ulster) and the Republic of Ireland (Eire). The north is still part of the United Kingdom and is predominantly Protestant; the south is an independent republic and is mainly Catholic. The majority in Ulster accept this political compromise, but the active and mainly Catholic minority are fighting for union with the independent republic of Southern Ireland. The IRA, the Irish Republican Army, have mounted bombing campaigns in military and civil targets in Ulster and England. They have sent letter-bombs to public figures, they have slot fellow Irishmen who support the British or belong to opposing, and now equally militant Protestant groups. As a result of this, the British have stationed an army in Belfast, the IRA have been outlawed, and several of them have spent many years in prison or have died in support of their cause. Whether this level of violence and repression is justifiable, and whether the violence that could result from political change would be worthwhile are the controversial issues that divide everybody involved. 36. It suggested that the central problem is relationship between _______. A. Britain and Ireland B. Ulster and Eire C. Catholics and Protestants D. the Irish Republican Army and Ulster. 37. This outline suggests that the central problem is ________. A. many centuries old B. about three centuries old C. about 80 years old D. a few years old 38. The IRA is ________. A. part of the Ulster police force B. part of American army C. a group of militant priests D. a terrorist organization 39. Bomb attacks occur _______. A. only in England B. when public figures talk about Ireland C. only in Northern Ireland D. in England and Northern Ireland 40. The writer feels that the controversy is about ________. A. freedom B. political change C. the use of violence D. injustice |
