In this sense, every group has a culture, howev

10、er savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to be. To the professional anthropologist, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic rank or hierarchy among languages. People once thought of the languages of backward

11、groups as savage, undeveloped forms of speech, consisting 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 established by the study of “backward“ languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most langu

12、ages 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 languages not in their sound pattern of grammatical structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs

13、, 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. First, all languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence, or by

14、borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. Second, the objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in “backward“ languages, while different from ours, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. A Western language distinguishes merely between two degr

15、ees 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 out 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

16、 all cultures are to be viewed independently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the author, to the professional linguists, _.（分数：2.00）A.all languages came from grunts and groansB.all languages in the world are equal and independentC.Western cultures are better than Ea

17、stern culturesD.the superiority of one culture over another is difficult to explain(2).We can infer that the author is _.（分数：2.00）A.a professional anthropologistB.a linguist as well as an anthropologistC.a language researcher from the WestD.a language researcher on “backward culture“(3).The language

18、s of backward groups fall behind those of the West in terms of the _.（分数：2.00）A.vocabulariesB.history and cultureC.machinery for vocabulary expansionD.sound patterns and grammatical structures(4).According to the article, some languages of American Indians are _.（分数：2.00）A.too undeveloped to be unde

19、rstoodB.more civilized than Western languagesC.derived from their own remote systemD.able to distinguish more degrees of remoteness(5).What is implied in this passage is that the study of languages _.（分数：2.00）A.has challenged anthropological studiesB.has reinforced the view of the anthropologistsC.i

20、s the same as the study of anthropologyD.has contradicted the result of the study of anthropologyAlexander Mackenzie was the first man to travel across the continent of North America all the way from the east coast to the west coast. He had set out to find a sea route which would link the Atlantic O

21、cean with the Pacific. The route was to be called the Northwest Passage. Having been brought up in the remote northernmost part of Scotland“s Westerns Isles, Mackenzie had experienced the hardships which can be caused by extreme cold. He added to this experience by working as a young man for the Hud

22、son“s Bay Company in North America. This company, which was founded in 1670, had an almost complete monopoly of the rich fur trade in the Northwest Territories. Mackenzie worked for several years at the company“s lonely trading outpost on the shores of Lake Athabaska, where he learned everything he

23、could from the older fur trappers about the cold and hostile wilderness of the Northwest Territories. On 3rd June 1789, he set out on his first journey of exploration. He was then 34 years old. With him he took a team of five trappers in one large birchbark canoe with sails, and in another five Indi

24、ans, including one who acted as a guide and as an interpreter. Driving his party hard, Mackenzie travelled 58 kilometers (36 miles) on the first day and 130km (81 miles) on the second. Soon they reached the Great Slave Lake which, even at this time of year, was covered with broken ice. The canoes we

25、re in constant danger of being crushed. Not only this, but the party were tormented by plagues of mosquitoes. They sailed towards the west looking for an exit from the lake. Eventually, they found a river, which now bears Mackenzie“s name. The current was strong and, with a good wind behind them, th

26、ey raised the sails on their canoes and travelled 480 kilometers (300 miles) along the river towards the west. Then, suddenly, they saw the Rocky Mountains in front of them, and the river went north. Still optimistic of reaching the Pacific, Mackenzie continued to follow the river, in spite of being

27、 told by the Indians they met along its banks that it would probably take a lifetime to reach its source. He soon realized, when he took his bearings, that he had come so far north that they were only one degree from the Arctic Circle. The river they were following would not end in the Pacific but i

28、n the Arctic Ocean. Nevertheless, he urged the party on and in time reached the northern ocean. Winter was now approaching so it was essential to turn back to avoid it. Mackenzie and his men reached home three months after the start of their journey. They had covered 4,800 km (3,000 miles) but they

29、had not reached the Pacific. Realizing that he was not as well prepared as he should be, either materially or psychologically, Mackenzie returned to Britain to get ready for his next journey. At home he began to assemble a collection of instruments and equipment. He also increased his knowledge of g

30、eography and of the techniques of surveying. Feeling better equipped and more confident, he returned to his fur trader“s post ready for another attempt to find the Northwest Passage.（分数：10.00）(1).Why was it possible for Mackenzie to make such an exploration?（分数：2.00）A.He was at this physical best.B.
