This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enoughLike the little boy who is reported to have said: “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals,” they feel that the symbol is inherently（内在地）connected in some way with the things symbolized.55Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _.Ahave made use of language for centuriesBuse our nervous systems to support languageChave made various noises stand for any eventsDcan make anything stand for anything by agreement56What can we conclude from Paragraph 2? ADifferent noises may mean different things.BOur culture determines what a symbol stands for.CThe language we use symbolizes our social positions.DOur social positions determine the way we are dressed.57In Paragraph 3, “take special pains” probably means “”.Atry very hardBtake our timeCare very unhappyDfeel especially painful58The example of the little boy is used to show that .Aadults often learn from their youngB“pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirtyCwords are not connected with the things they stand forDpeople sometimes have wrong ideas about how language works CHave you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you? asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of EdinburghThere is certainly a lot of energy in waves, he saidScientists are working to use that energy to make electricityMost waves are created when winds blow across the oceanThe wind starts out by making little ripples （涟漪） , but if they keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, Taylor said Waves are one of nature s ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.When waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine（涡轮机）The turbine can then power an electrical generator to produce electricity .The resource is huge, said Janet Swain of the Worldwatch InstituteWe will never run out of wave power Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coalOceans cover three-quarters of the Earths surface - that would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overcomeSwain said that wave power still costs too much moneyShe also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknownWhat is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffic.Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out Demand for energy to power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world, Swain saidIn the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!59The writer uses the two questions at the beginning of the passage to _.Atest the readers knowledge about wavesBdraw the readers attention to the topicCshow Jamie Taylors importanceDinvite the readers to answer them60The underlined phrase picking up （paragraph 2） is closest in meaning to _.Astarting againBspeeding upCgatheringDimproving61We can make better use of wave energy if we _.Ashorten its journey to thousands of homesBbuild more small power stations on the oceansCreduce the cost of turning it into electric powerDquicken the steps of producing electricity62It can be inferred that some day we might not worry about _.Aair pollutionBour boat trafficCour power supplyDour supply of sea fishDThe Bay HotelIts a quiet, comfortable hotel overlooking（俯瞰）the bay in an uncommercialised Cornish fishing village on Englands most southerly pointIf pop music is no longer your strong point, and you are considering a relaxing holiday where the scenery is breathtaking and the sound of the sea is live music to your ears, come and stay with usFor adults onlySssh!
