| 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7、8、9、10、11题：By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all. Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures. All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can be happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close. The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison. Very few people actually die from snake bites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no efforts, as there are of serious illness. 41. Adders are most likely to be found _______. A. in Scotland and nowhere else B. in wider parts of Britain C. in shady fields in England D. on uncultivated land throughout Britain 42. We are told that British snakes are ______. A. afraid of human beings B. poisonous including the adder c. dangerous except the adder D. friendly towards human beings 43. Which of the followings statements is Not true? A. The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain. B. In Scotland there are no other snakes except the adder. C. Snake bites seem more dangerous than they actually are. D. People's attempts at emergency treatment are utterly unnecessary. 44. When will the adder not attack you? A. when you try to catch it B. when you are some distance away from it. C. when you happen to step on it. D. when you try to pick 45. If an adder hears you coming, it will usually _______. A. attack you immediately B. disappear very quickly C. want to frighten you D. move out of the way |
