Choose the hest answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET I./BBPassage One/BIn ancient times most cultures and civilizations made some reference to the origin

20、 of their languages. However, they did not study language by observation or experimentationat least as far as we can judge from records that have survived to this day. Most comments on the origins of languages come to us in folk-tales or religious writings. But the Greek historian Herodotus tells us

21、 of one experiment.An Egyptian king named Psammmetichos wished to find out which was the worlds oldest language. To gain this information he decided to isolate two new born babies until they began to speak. Because they were kept from adults, they would have no patterns to imitate. The king made the

22、 assumption that the children would speak what was a natural languagewhich would be the oldest. After some months the children were heard to make a Sound which was recorded as “bekos“. This was found to be very similar to the Phrygian word for “bread“. Therefore Phrygianca language once spoken in As

23、ia. Minor was considered to be the flint language of mankind. At least by King Psammetichos, and we may assume by his court.（分数：12.00）(1).The two babies were deliberately kept from adults _.（分数：3.00）A.to whether they could learn to speak without the help of adultsB.to prove that Phrygian was the fir

25、C.the oldest word in any language is that of “bread“D.the Phrygian language was the easiest in the world to learn.(3).The author thinks that the kings experiment _.（分数：3.00）A.was the first reliable experiment in language study in historyB.proved what it meant to proveC.was not necessarily sound thou

26、gh based on observationD.was utterly ridiculous and not worth mentioning(4).According to the author, the kings conclusion _.（分数：3.00）A.was accepted by everybodyB.caused heated argumentsC.was probably accepted by his courtD.Was not believed by anyone except himselfBPassage Two/BDuring the summer sess

27、ion these will be a revised schedule of services for the university community. Specific changes for intercampus bus services, the cafeteria, and summer hours for the infirmary (医务室) and recreational and athletic facilities will be posted on the bulletin beard outside of the cafeteria. Weekly movie a

28、nd concert schedules which are in the process of being arranged will be posted each Wednesday outside of the cafeteria.Intercampus buses will leave the main hall every hour on the half hour and make all of the regular stops on their route around the campus. The cafeteria will serve breakfast, lunch,

29、 and early dinner from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m. during the week and from noon to 7 p. m. on weekends. The library will maintain regular hours during the week, but shorter hours on Saturdays and Sundays. The weekend hours are from noon to 7 p. mAll students who want to use the library borrowing services an

30、d the recreational, athletic, and entertainment facilities must have valid summer identification cards. This announcement will also appear in the next issue of the student newspaper.（分数：12.00）(1).Which of the following is the main purpose of this announcement?（分数：3.00）A.To tell campus personnel of t

31、he new library services.B.To announce the new movies on campus this summer.C.To notify university people of important schedule changes.D.To remind students to validate (使生效) their identification cards.(2).Specific schedule revisions for which of the following facilities are listed in this announceme

34、 hours.D.This information is not available.BPassage Three/BDespite the fact that today viruses (病毒) are known to cause cancer in animals and in certain plants, there exists a great reluctance to accept viruses as being of importance in human cancer. Basic biological phenomena generally do not differ

35、 strikingly as one goes from one species to another. It should be recognized that cancer is a biological problem and not a problem that is unique for man. Cancer originates when a normal cell suddenly becomes a cancer cell which multiplies widely and without apparent restraint. Cancer may originate

36、in many different kinds of cell, but the cancer cell usually continues to carry certain traits (特性) of the cell of origin. The transformation of a normal cell into a cancer cell may have more than one kind of cause, but them is good reason to consider the relationships that exist between viruses and

37、 cancer.Since there is no evidence that human cancer, as generally experienced, is infections, many persons believe that because viruses are infections agents they cannot possibly be of importance in human cancer. However, viruses can mutate (突变) and examples are known in which a virus that never ki

38、lls its host can mutate to form a new strain of virus that always kills its host. It does not seem unreasonable to assume that an innocuous (无害的) latent (潜伏的) virus might mutate to form a strain that causes cancer. Certainly the experimental evidence now available is consistent with the idea that vi

39、ruses as we know them today, could be the causative (引起的) agents of most, if not all cancer, including cancer in man.（分数：12.00）(1).Cancer should be considered to be a biological problem rather than a medical one because _.（分数：3.00）A.viruses are known to cause cancer in animalsB.at present, human can

40、cer is not believed to be contagious (传染的)C.there are many known causes for the transformation of a normal cell to a cancer cellD.results of experiments on plants and animals do not vary greatly from species tn species(2).The possibility that a virus causes human cancer is indicated by _.（分数：3.00）A.

41、the fact that viruses have been known to mutateB.the fact that a cancer-immune individual may lose his immunityC.the fact that production of human cancer cells might be due to a genetic factorD.the fact that man is host to many viruses(3).Many people believe that viruses cannot possibly be of import

42、ance in human cancer because _.（分数：3.00）A.they are innocuous agenciesB.they are the causative agents of most human cancerC.they seem to be infections to many peopleD.they are generally thought to be relevant to most cancer in man(4).The best title for this passage is _.（分数：3.00）A.New Light on the Ca

43、use of CancerB.The Newest Theory on the Nature of VirusesC.Viruses and CancerD.On the Nature of LifeBPassage Four/BThere are various in which individual economic units can interact with one another. Three basic ways may be described as the market system, the administered system and the traditional s

44、ystem.In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the marketplace. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them. In a market, transactions may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods

45、 such as automobiles, shoes and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence, the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. In the modem market eco

46、nomy, goods and services are bought or sold for money.An alternative to the .market system is administrative control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue edicts or commands as to how much of each good and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic un

47、it. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy. The central plan, drawn up by the government, shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated to different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planing of production, consumpti

48、on, and exchange for the whole economy.In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition: every persons place within the economic system is fixed by parentage, religion and custom. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for other persons, provide them with food and shelter, care for their health, and provide for their education. Clearly, in a system where every decision is made on the
