12、：2.00)BTEXT A/BBTHE INTRINSIC COMPLEXITY OF CONCEPTS/BThe words discussed so far have been limited to one type: those whose meaning identifies the members of a class. For example, the word chair is used correctly when it is applied to the class which includes objects as different as straight chairs,
13、 folding chairs and rocking chairs. The same skill in identifying instances of the same class is required for understanding some types of verbs. For example, all people walk differently, but native speakers of English use the word walk correctly when they realize that these minor differences are irr
14、elevant. But not all words in a language involve the identification of classes. In fact, the mastery of a working vocabulary in any human language appeals to a wide range of intellectual skills, some easier and some more difficult than those required for grasping the meaning of common nouns and verb
15、s. As an example of a relatively easy concept, consider what is required for understanding proper nouns: one must simply point out a single individual and attach a label, like John or Daddy. Because it is easier to associate a label with a single individual than to name a class with common propertie
16、s, children master proper nouns first, sometimes when they are as young as six to nine months old. In contrast, a relational term like large or small constitutes a relatively complex concept. The correct use of words like these requires that two things be kept in mind: the absolute size of the objec
17、t in question, and its position on a scale of similar objects. For example, an elephant which is six feet tall at the shoulders may be small as far as elephants go, but a dog of the same height would be huge. Five-and six-year-old children are unable to make the shift in perspective necessary for us
18、ing relational words appropriately. In one well-known experiment which documents this conclusion, children were engaged in a pretend tea party with dolls and an adult observer. The adult gave the child an ordinary juice glass and asked the child if it was large or small. Though all of the children i
19、n the study agreed that the glass was small from their own perspective, it appeared ridiculously large when placed on the toy table around which the dolls were seated. Nevertheless, the youngest children were still inclined to say that the glass was small when asked about its size with respect to it
20、s new context.Another complex concept underlies deictic expressions, which are words used to point to objects and indicate their distance from the speaker. For example, the speaker may use here or this to point out objects which may be close to him, while there and that are appropriate only when the
21、 objects are relatively far away. But since there are no absolute distances involved in the correct use of a deictic expression, children have difficulty determining when the close terms are to be preferred over the far terms. As with relational terms, it is necessary to take into account the size o
22、f the object pointed to. Thus a thirty-story building six feet in front of us is close enough to be called this building, but an ant removed from us by the same distance is far enough away to be called that ant. Common and proper nouns, relational terms and deictic expressions do not exhaust the ran
23、ge of concepts mastered by children, but they do illustrate the variety of tasks involved in acquiring the vocabulary of a first language. Linguists can examine the evidence from the acquisition of word meaning and find support for two fundamental hypotheses: that some concepts are more complex than
24、 others, and that the acquisition of language requires a considerable exercise of intelligence.（分数：2.00）(1).What is common to relational terms and deictic expressions?（分数：1.00）A.They both require a considerable exercise of intelligence.B.They both involve the concept of size in referring to objects.
25、C.They can both be used to test the intelligence of children.D.They pose difficulties for young children in acquisition of language.(2).In order to correctly acquire the meanings of nouns in referring to “classes“, a child_.（分数：1.00）A.has to learn to identify some features while ignoring othersB.fir

29、re Trying/BA 1990 United Nations survey revealed that the more highly developed countries spend an average of 2 to 3 percent of their annual budgets on crime control, while developing countries spend even more, an average of 9 to 14 percent. Increasing the size of the police force and providing it w
30、ith better equipment takes priority in some localities. But results are mixed. Some Hungarian citizens complain: “There are never enough policemen to catch the criminals but always enough to catch traffic violators.“Many governments have recently found it necessary to pass tougher crime laws. For ex
31、ample, since “kidnapping is on the rise across Latin America,“ says Time magazine, the governments there have responded with laws that are “at once vigorous and ineffectual Passing laws is one thing,“ it admits, “applying them another.“It is estimated that in Britain more than 100,000 neighborhood w
32、atch schemes, covering at least four million homes, existed in 1992. Similar programs were implemented in Australia in the mid -1980s. Their aim, says the Australian Institute of Criminology, is to reduce crime “by improving citizens awareness about public safety, by improving residents attitudes an
33、d behaviour in reporting crime and suspicious events in the neighbourhood and by reducing vulnerability to crime with the help of property identification and installation of effective security devices.“Closed-circuit television is used in some places to link police stations with commercial premises.
34、 Video cameras are used by police, banks, and stores as a crime deterrent or as a tool for identifying lawbreakers. In Nigeria the police have checkpoints on highways in efforts to apprehend robbers and carjackers. The government has set up a task force on trade malpractices to combat fraud. Policec

Businessmen employ private security guards to prot

The London newspaper The Independent commented: “As confidence in the rule of law falls, citizens are organising the defence of their own communities
37、in increasing numbers.“ And more and more people are arming themselves. In the United States, for example, it is estimated that every second household owns at least one gun.Governments are constantly developing new methods of combating crime. But V. Vsevolodov, of the Academy of Home Affairs in Ukra
38、ine, points out that according to UN sources, so many gifted people are finding “unique methods of carrying on criminal activity“ that “the training of law enforcement personnel“ cannot keep up. Clever criminals funnel huge sums of money back into businesses and social services, merging with society
39、 and “gaining for themselves high positions in society.“（分数：3.00）(1).What is the main reason for citizens to take in hand the defence of themselves?_（分数：1.00）A.There are not enough policemen.B.They do not trust the rule of law.C.The police force is inefficient.D.Security devices do not work.(2).A ne
