2、ollowing way: (1)For a wrong word, underline the wrong word and write the correct one in the blank provided at the end of the line. (2)For a missing word, mark the position of the missing word with a “ “ sign and write t 0 The nature of language is the nature of human thought and human action, for l
3、anguage is no more nor less than the tool of both of these aspects of human nature. A word is either the shadow of an act or of an idea. Verbal sounds have no meaning themselves. They【 M1】 _ are the channels, the medium for the expression or communication of【 M2】 _ that which lay outside of themselv
4、es. Plato has made clear to us how【 M3】 _ easy it is to deceive ourselves with words, to labor under an impression that just because we can utter a sound we also necessarily know that we are talking about Words may be empty vessels and pour out【 M4】 _ no more than hollow sounds. We find it simple to
5、 define some words and extremely difficult to define others words. The reason is that the【 M5】 _ definition of a word is the experience of records. Hence the definiteness【 M6】 _ of a definition of a word is in proportion at the vividness of the【 M7】 _ experience, its meaning. We readily define chair
6、 because of our frequent experience with the object which the sound is a symbol.【 M8】 _ We define it in terms of our experience like an object to sit ia But a【 M9】 _ definition of terms like “truth“, or “virtue“, or “honesty“, or “beauty“ is a most severe trial because of the haziness or complete la
7、ck for【 M10】 _ experiences of this nature. What, then, is the source of the meaning of words? What is the relationship between words, things, and actions? 1 【 M1】 2 【 M2】 3 【 M3】 4 【 M4】 5 【 M5】 6 【 M6】 7 【 M7】 8 【 M8】 9 【 M9】 10 【 M10】 10 According to legend, the ancient Olympic Games were founded
8、by Heracles, a son of Zeus. Yet the first Olympic Games for which we still have written records was held in 776 BC. At this Olympic Games, a naked runner, Coroebus a cooker from Elis, won the sole【 M1】 _ event at the Olympics, the stade a run of approximate 192 meters.【 M2】 _ This made Coroebus the
9、very first Olympic champion in history. The ancient Olympic Games grew and continued to be played every four years for nearly 1200 years. In 393 BC, the Roman emperor abolished the Games because their pagan influences. Approximately 1500 years【 M3】 _ later, a young Frenchman named Pierre de Couberti
10、n began their revival. Coubertins attempt to get France interested in sports was met with【 M4】 _ enthusiasm at first. Still, Coubertin persisted. In 1890, he organized and found a sports organization, Union des Societes Francaises de【 M5】 _ Sports Athl6tiques(USFSA). Two years later, Coubertin first
11、 pitched his idea to revive the Olympic Games. At a meeting of the Union des Sports Athl6tiques in Paris in November 25, 1892, Coubertin made【 M6】 _ a speech and eloquently spoken of the revival of the Olympic Games.【 M7】 _ This time, he aroused up interest. The delegates at the conference【 M8】 _ vo
12、ted unanimously for the Olympic Games and also decided to have Coubertin constructed an international committee to organize the【 M9】 _ Games. This committee became the International Olympic Committee and Demetrious Vikelas in Greece was selected to be their first【 M10】 _ president Athens was chosen
13、for the revival of the Olympic Games and the planning was begun. 11 【 M1】 12 【 M2】 13 【 M3】 14 【 M4】 15 【 M5】 16 【 M6】 17 【 M7】 18 【 M8】 19 【 M9】 20 【 M10】 20 What will be the impact of a global computer network on cultural forms? The construction of exclusive information societies has restarted【 M1
14、】 _ the debate about cultural diversity by renewing the common perception and evolution of this elusive term We shall focus on the meaning of the two words “diversity“ and “culture“. Diversity is often perceived as disparity, variation, singularity, that is, the opposite of uniformity and【 M2】 _ hom
15、ogeneity. In its first and literal sense, cultural diversity then refers quite simply the multiplicity of cultures or cultural identities. This【 M3】 _ vision has now been replaced, though As for many experts “diversity“ is not so much defined in opposite to “homogeneity“. It is synonymous【 M4】 _ wit
16、h dialogue and sharing values. In fact, the concept of cultural【 M5】 _ diversity, like that of biodiversity, goes on further, because it considers【 M6】 _ the multiplicity of cultures in a systemic perspective when each culture【 M7】 _ develops and evolves through contact with other cultures. As to cu
17、lture, it draws its origins from the Latin word “cultura“, that indicated the【 M8】 _ cultivation of fields and cattle. In the sixteenth century it acquires the meaning of the action of cultivating, or formation, which is at the【 M9】 _ source of the sense it is given today. So, culture has then come
18、to mean that whole complexity of meanings, values and beliefs that determine【 M10】 _ how we do things and how we structure our ways of thinking. 21 【 M1】 22 【 M2】 23 【 M3】 24 【 M4】 25 【 M5】 26 【 M6】 27 【 M7】 28 【 M8】 29 【 M9】 30 【 M10】 30 The popular notion about marriage and love is that they are s
19、ynonymous, that they spring from the same motives, and cover the same human needs. Therefore, like most popular notions this also【 M1】 _ rests not on actual facts, but on superstition. It is utterly false that love results from marriage. On rare occasions one does hear a【 M2】 _ miraculous case of a
20、married couple falling in love after marriage, but on close examination it will be found that it is a merely adjustment to【 M3】 _ the inevitable. Certainly the growing used to each other is far away from the spontaneity, the intensity, and beauty of love, without which the intimacy of marriage must
21、prove degrading to both the woman and the man. Marriage is primarily an economical arrangement, an【 M4】 _ insurance pact. It differs from the ordinary life insurance agreement only in that it is more binding, more exacting. Its returns are significantly small compared with the investments. In taking
22、 out an【 M5】 _ insurance policy one pays for it with dollars and cents, always【 M6】 _ in liberty to discontinue payments. If, however, womans premium is【 M7】 _ a husband, she pays for it with her name, her privacy, her self-respect, her very life, “until death doth part“. Moreover, the marriage insu
23、rance condemns her to life-long independency, to parasitism, to【 M8】 _ complete uselessness, individually as long as socially. Man, too, pays【 M9】 _ his toll, but as his sphere is wider, marriage does not limit him as much as to woman. He feels his chains more in an economic sense.【 M10】 _ 31 【 M1】
24、32 【 M2】 33 【 M3】 34 【 M4】 35 【 M5】 36 【 M6】 37 【 M7】 38 【 M8】 39 【 M9】 40 【 M10】 40 To understand the marketing concept, its only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the effective【 M1】 _ production o
