However, they did not study language by observation or experi

22、mentationat 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 of one experiment. An Egyptian king named Psammmetichos wished to find out which

23、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 assumption that the children would speak what was a natural languagewhich would

24、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.

36、ts, there exists a great reluctance to accept viruses as being of importance in human cancer. Basic biological phenomena generally do not differ 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. C

37、ancer originates when a normal cell suddenly becomes a cancer cell which multiplies widely and without apparent restraint. Cancer may originate 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 ce

38、ll 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 cancer. Since there is no evidence that human cancer, as generally experienced, is infections, many persons believe that because viruses are infections age

39、nts 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 kills 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

40、伏的) virus might mutate to form a strain that causes cancer. Certainly the experimental evidence now available is consistent with the idea that viruses as we know them today, could be the causative (引起的) agents of most, if not all cancer, including cancer in man. 1. Cancer should be considered to be

41、a biological problem rather than a medical one because _.A.viruses are known to cause cancer in animalsB.at present, human cancer 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

42、 do not vary greatly from species tn species答案:D2.

43、netic factorD.the fact that man is host to many viruses答案:A3. Many people believe that viruses cannot possibly be of importance in human cancer because _.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 t

44、hought to be relevant to most cancer in man答案:C4. The best title for this passage is _.A.New Light on the Cause of CancerB.The Newest Theory on the Nature of VirusesC.Viruses and CancerD.On the Nature of Life答案:CPassage Four There are various in which individual economic units can interact with one

45、another. Three basic ways may be described as the market system, the administered system and the traditional system. 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

46、to them. In a market, transactions may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods 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. He

47、nce, the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. In the modem market economy, 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

48、commands as to how much of each good and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. 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 al

49、located to different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planing of production, consumption, 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

50、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 wher

51、e every decision is made on the basis of tradition alone, progress may be difficult to achieve. A stagnant society may result. 1. What is main purpose of the passage?A.To outline contrasting types of economy.B.To explain the science of economics.C.To argue for the superiority of one economics.D.To c

52、ompare barter and money exchange markets.答案:A2.

According to the passage, a barter economy can lead to _.A.rapid speed of transactionB.misunderstandi

53、ngC.inflationD.difficulties for the traders答案:D4. According to the passage, who has the greatest degree of control in an administered system?A.Individual households.B.Small business.C.Major corporations.D.The government.答案:DPassage Five What do we think with? Only the brain? Hardly. The brain is tik

54、e a telephone exchange. It is the switchboard, but not the whole system. Its function is to receive incoming signals, make proper connections, and send the messages through to their destination. For efficient service, the body must function as a whole. But where is the mind? Is it in the brain? Or p

55、erhaps in the nervous system? After all, can we say that the mind is in any particular place? It is not a thing like a leg or even the brain. It is a function, an activity. Aristotle, twenty-three hundred years ago, observed that the mind was to the body what cutting was to the ax. When the ax is not in use, there is no cutting. So with the mind. mind said Charles H Woolbert, is what the body is doing. If this activity is necessary for thinking, it is also necessary for carrying thought from one person to another. Observe how people go about the business of ordinary conversation. If you h
