22、语义错误。根据上下文可知，人类的语言是我们的精华，是人类最强大的工具之一。而且由would可知，此处使用了虚拟语气，因而应将With替换成Without，句意为“如果没有巨大的词汇量，我们不会比猩猩和猴子好多少。”解析：asfor解析 固定搭配中的介词误用。take.for granted为固定搭配，意为“认为是理所当然的”。此处应将as改为for，句意为“语言被想当然地认为是人类的一个基本特征。”解析：languageas解析 介词缺失。define.as.的意思是“把解释或定义为”。此处意为“我们把语言定义为一个沟通的系统。”解析：meanmeans解析 词义混淆。mean作名词意为“平均
23、值，中间”，根据句意可知，语言同样也是通过运用肢体同他人交流思想、知识及情感的一种方法，因此应该使用means“方法”。解析：culturecultural解析 词性混用。此处修饰的对象为名词transmission，应该使用形容词cultural。句意为“这个系统随着文化的传播，通过教授与模仿的方式不断被习得和传承。”解析：sobecause解析 连词误用。根据上下文语义可知，此处表示因果关系，“这个系统很重要”为结果，而“它本质上是人类的特性，没有其他物种可以复制我们的这一系统”为原因，因此应该将so改为because。解析：a a 解析 冠词冗余。此处sound是泛指“声音”，为不可数名
24、词，前面不需要加冠词。解析：forof解析 介词误用。definition与language为所属关系，应该用介词of，表示“某物的概念”。句意为“从广义上来说，语言包括更多的内容。”解析：toan解析 冠词缺失。to an extent为固定搭配，意为“在一定程度上”。句意为“比如，我们还有莫斯代码、信号旗、烟雾信号、肢体语言，甚至在一定程度上还包括音乐。”解析：beingbe解析 动词形式错误。in some sense为插入语，分析结构时可忽略。can后应接动词原形be，句意为“电脑程序包括特殊的编码，它们在某种程度上可被称为语言。”二、PART WRITING(总题数：1，分数：16.

No doubt people nowadays begin to question the very existence of universities. To cater
39、to the market, many universities introduce courses related to career planning and development which occupy a large percentage of their curriculum only to condescend themselves to vocational schools. In my opinion, the way in which a university should function in the preparation for an intellectual c
40、areer, such as modem business, is by promoting the imaginative consideration of the various general principles underlying that career. This means we should not squander a 4-year-long education in teaching students basic skills but rather instill into them the way of imaginative acquisition of knowledge. Therefore, instead of pandering to the vulgar outcry and short-sighted qualm over the graduates who seem poorly equipped with skills for jobs, universities should, at a higher level, stick to training intellectual pioneers for our civilization.
