(76) UThey contain the quickest and the most efficient means of communicating within their respective culture. /UTo learn a for
2、eign language is to learn another culture. In the words of a poet and philosopher, “As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives.“ A culture and its language are as necessary as brain and body: while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the other. In learning a foreig
3、n language, the best beginning would be starting with the non-language elements of the language: its gestures, its body language, etc. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English saying goes, seeing eye-to-eye. We can never see eye to-
4、eye with a native speaker of English until we have learned to look directly into his eyes.（分数：10.00）(1).The best title for this passage is _.（分数：2.00）A.Organs of CultureB.Brain and BodyC.Looking into His EyesD.Language and Culture(2).According to this passage, the best way to learn a foreign languag

8、very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts (干旱) and floods.Unfortunately, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees
9、 to build war ships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire, but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the home-country found itself faced by flood and starvation.(77) UEven though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful sup
10、ply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade villagers to see this. /UThe villagers want wood to cook their food with; and they can earn money by selling wood. They are usually too lazy to plant and look after the trees. (78) USo, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educat
11、e the people, the forests will slowly disappear. /UThis does not only mean that the villagers children and grandchildren will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious, for where there are trees their roots break the soil up allowing the rain to sink inand also bind the soil, thus preventi
12、ng its being washed away easily but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away from the surface, causing flood.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the most important function of trees?（分数：2.00）A.Providing fuel.B.Offering shade.C.Preventing natural disaster.D.Providing wood.(2).What eve

14、 get moneyD.dont realize the importance of trees(4).The role of trees is to _.（分数：2.00）A.loosen soilB.keep soil in positionC.harden soilD.both A and B(5).What is the passage mainly concerned withy（分数：2.00）A.The benefits of trees.B.Trees and soil protection.C.The various uses of trees.D.Different att
15、itudes toward trees.BPassage 3/BAdam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of the labor. He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England.“One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, and a fifth gives it a
16、 head. Just to make the head requires two or three different operations. The work of making pins is divided into about eighteen different operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them.Ten men, Smit
17、h said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4 800 pins a worker. (79) UBut if all of them had worked separately and independently with- out division of labor, they certainly could not have made twenty pins in a day and not even one. /UThere can be no doubt that division of l
18、abor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this, (80) Ubut he also took it for granted that division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and development and it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stan
19、d still./U But division of labor adds nothing new, it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to _.（分数：2.00）A.take advantage of the physical laborB.introduce the division of labor into EnglandC.understand t

22、er, Adam Smiths mistake was in believing that the division of labor _.（分数：2.00）A.was an efficient way of organizing workB.was an important development in methods of productionC.finally led to economic developmentD.increased the production of existing goods(5).According to the writer, which one of th
23、e following is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.Division of labor can enable fewer people to make more pins.B.Division of labor helps people to produce more of what they already have.C.Division of labor is by no means responsible for economic growth.D.Division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work.二、BP
