Why  Is  Native  Language  Learnt  So  Well

How  does  it  happen  that  children  learn  their  mother  tongue  so  well? When  we  compare  them  with  adults  learning  a  foreign  language,we  often  find  this  interesting  fact.A little  child  without  knowledge or experience  often  succeeds  in  a  complete  mastery  of  the  language.A grown-up  person  with  fully  developed  mental  powers,in  most  cases,may  end  up  with  a  faulty  and  inexact  command.What  accounts  for  this  difference?

Despite  other  explanations,the  real  answer  in  my  opinion  lies  partly  in  the  child  himself,partly  in  the  behaviour  of  the  people  around  him.In  the  first  place,the  time  of  learning  the  mother  tongue  is  the  most  favourable  of  all,namely,the  first  years  of  life.A  child  hears  it  spoken  from  morning  till  night  and, what  is  more  important,always  in  its  genuine(纯正的)form,with  the  right  pronunciation,right  intonation, and  right  use  of  words  and  right  structure.He drinks  in  all  the  words  and  expressions  which  come  to  him  in  a  fresh,ever  bubbling  spring.There  is  no  resistance: there  is  perfect  assimilation(同化).

Then the  child  has,as  it  were,private  lessons all  the  year  round,while  an  adult  language  student  has  each  week  a  limited  number  of  hours  which  he  generally shares  with  others.The  child  has  another  advantage:he  hears  the  language  in  all  possible  situations,always  accompanied  by  the  right  kind  of  gestures  and  facial  expressions.Here  there  is  nothing  unnatural,as  is  often  found  in  language  lessons in  schools,when  one  talks  about  ice  and  snow  in  June or scorching(炎热的)heat  in  January.And  what  a  child  hears  is  generally  what  immediately  interests  him.Again  and  again,when  his  attempts  at  speech  are  successful, his  desires  are  understood  and  fulfilled.

Finally,though  a  child’s “teachers”may not  have  been  trained  in  language  teaching,their  relation  with  him  are  always  close  and  personal.They  take  great  pains  to  make  their  lessons  easy.

A.True    B.False     C.Not Given

2.Adults’ knowledge  and  mental  powers  hinder(妨碍)their  complete  mastery  of  a  foreign  language. ( C )

3.The reason  why  children  learn  their  mother  tongue  so  well  lies  solely  in  their  environment  of  learning. ( B )

A.True    B.False     C.Not Given

4.Plenty  of  practice  in  listening  during  the  first  years  of  life  partly  ensures  children’s  success  of  learning  their  mother  tongue.  ( A )

A.True    B.False     C.Not Given

5.A child  learning  his  native  language  has  the  advantage of  having  private  lessons  all  the  year  round.  ( B )

The  Definition  of “Price”

Prices  determine  how  resources  are  to  be  used. They  are  also  the  means  by  which  products  and  services  that  are  in  limited  supply  are  rationed  among  buyers.The  price  system  of  the  United  States  is  a  complex  network  composed  of  the  prices  of  all  the  products  bought  and  sold  in  the  economy  as  well  as  those  of  a  myriad  of  services,including  labor,professional, transportation, and  public-utility  services. The  interrelationships  of  all  these  prices  make  up  the  “system”of  prices.The  price  of  any  particular  product  or  service  is  linked  to  a  broad,complicated  system  of  prices  in  which  everything  seems  to  depend  more  or  less  upon  everything  else.

If  one  were  to  ask  a  group  of  randomly  selected  individuals  to  define  “price”,many  would  reply  that  price  is  an  amount  of  money  paid  by  the  buyer  to  the  seller  of  a  product  or  service  or,in  other  words, that  price  is  the  money  value  of  a  product  or  service  as  agreed  upon  in  a  market  transaction. This  definition  is,of  course, valid  as  far  as  it  goes. For  a  complete  understanding  of  a  price  in  any  particular  transaction, much  more  than  the  amount  of  money  involved  must  be  known. Both  the  buyer  and  the  seller  should  be  familiar  with  not  only  the  money  amount,but  with  the  amount  and  quality  of  the  product  or  service  to  be  exchanged, the  time  and  place  at  which  the  exchange  will  take  place  and  payment  will  be  made, the  form  of  money  to  be  used, the  credit  terms  and  discounts  that  apply  to  the  transaction,guarantees  on  the  product  or  service,delivery  terms, return  privileges, and  other  factors. In  other  words,both  buyer  and  seller  should  be  fully  aware  of  all  the  factors  that  comprise  the  total “package”being  exchanged  for  the  asked-for  amount  of  money  in  order  that  they  may  evaluate  a  given  price.

11.What  is  the  best  title  for  the  passage? ( B )

A.The  Inherent  Weaknesses  of  the  Price  System.

B.The  Complexities  of  the  Price  System.

C.Credit  Terms  in  Transactions.

D.Resource  Allocation  and  the  Public  Sector.

12.According  to  the  passage,the  price  system  is  related  primarily  to ________ ( D )

A.labor  and  education

B.Transportation  and  insurance

C.Utilities  and  repairs

D.Products  and  services

13.According  to  the  passage,which  of  the  following  is  NOT  a  factor  in  the  complete  understanding  of  price? ( A )

A.Instructions  that  come  with  a  product.

B.The  quantity  of  a  product.

C.The  quality  of  a  product.

D.Warranties  that  cover  a  product.

14.In  the  last  sentence  of  the  passage,“they”refers  to_______ ( C )

A.return  privileges    B.all  the  factors   

C.buyer  and  seller    D.money

15.The  paragraph  following  the  passage  most  likely  discusses_________ ( D )

A.unusual  ways  to  advertise  products

B.Types  of  payment  plans  for  service

C.Theories  about  how  products  affect  different  levels  of  society

D.How  certain  elements  of  a  price “package”influence  its  market  value

Radar

① Children  enjoy  shouting  at  a  high  wall  and  hearing  the  sound  come  back  to  them.There  sounds  are  called  echoes(回声).Echoes  have  given  us  a  number  of  valuable  tools.

②Echo  sounding  devices  were  early  used  in  making  maps  of  the  ocean  floor.Sounds  or  ultrasonic（超声的）sounds  make  good  tools  for  determining  how  deep  the  water  is  under  ships.Sometimes  echoes  from  ultrasonic  distance  finding  devices  were  prevented  from  working  by  fish  swimming  past  or  by  the  presence  of  large  objects.So  ultrasonic  devices  have  been  replaced  by  other  tools.

③ Radar  is  now  a  familiar  tool.Like  many  others  it  was  an  unexpected  discovery.It  was  first  observed  by  two  researchers, who  were  studying  sound  communication.They  were  sending  signals  from  a  station  on  one  side  of  a  river  in  Washington.DC. to a vehicle  across  the  river.They  discovered  that  their  signals  were  stopped  by  passing  ships.They  recognized  the  importance  of  this  discovery  at  once.

④All  this  was  of  course  just  a  start,from  which  our  present  radar  has  developed.The  word “radar,”in  fact,gets  its  name  from  the  term“radio  detection(检测) and  ranging”.“Ranging”is  the  term  for  detection  of  the  distance  between  an  object  and  the  radar  set.Today,in  our  scientific  age,it  would  be  difficult  to  manage  without  radar.

⑤ One  of  the  many  uses  of  radar  is  as  a  speed  control  device  on  highways. When  a  person  in  an  automobile  is  driving  faster  than  the  speed  limit,radar  will  show  this  clearly  and  the  traffic  police  can  take  measures  to  stop  him.A  pilot  cannot  fly  a  plane  by  sight  alone.Many  conditions  such  as  flying  at  night  and  landing  in  dense  fog  require  the  pilot  to  use  radar.Human  eyes  are  not  very  good  at  determining  speeds  of  approaching  objects,but  radar  can  show  the  pilot  how  fast  nearby  planes  are  moving.

18.Paragraph ③   F   

19.Paragraph ④   C

Life  Can  Be  Happy  and  Meaningful

    Not  long  ago,a  poll  was  conducted  among  students  in  a  middle  school.They  were  asked  to  make  a  choice  between  these  two  sentences-“No  one  can  be  happy”and“One  can  be  happy”. Shockingly  enough,about  60 percent  of  the  students  agreed  to  the  first  statement.But  to  live  on, We’d  better  say  to  ourselves  that  there  is  happiness  in  life.

    26   E   The  more  I  think, the  more  I  am  convinced  that  if  we  have  a  right  attitude    towards  life,our  lives  can  surely  be  happy  and  meaningful.

It  is  true  that  all  people  have  some  bitter  experiences.27   F   Many  people  admire  Madam  Curie,and  say  with  a  sigh,“If  I  could  live  like  her, I  would  be  the  happiest  person  in  the  world.”But  if  we  take  a  close  look  at  her  life,we  will  find  her  happiness  is  closely  connected  with  her  misfortunes.First  of  all, she  did  not  have  a  happy  childhood. 28   C   In  her  research  work, she  had  to  sit  up  late  night  after  night.She  experienced  many  losses,too---she  lost  her  beloved  father,her  dear  husband, and  later  her  eyesight.But  she  never  complained  and  never  stopped  working  for  the  benefit  of  mankind.That  is  why  her  life  was  happy  and  meaningful. 29   D   

Some  people  complain  that  their  work  is  insignificant  and  thus  their  lives  are  meaningless.But  what  kind  of  work  is  significant? Worker,peasants, teachers, and  scientists, they  are  all  working  for  the  welfare  of  mankind, themselves  included. That  is  where  the  meaning  of  life  lies. 30   A   Once  a  friend  of  mine  told  me  he  felt  very  wretched  for  having  to  work  as  a  teacher.“Our  lives  can  be  compared  to  candles.While  giving  light  to  others, we  ourselves  are  burning  out.Our  students  may  become  famous  one  day, but  what  will  become  of  us? We  shall  only  remain  what  we  are---fameless  and  wealthless.  ”Paradoxically, I  would  rather  think  he  was  giving  a  vivid  description  of  the  nobleness  of  a  teacher. Different  people  may  think  of  life  differently. But  of  one  thing  I  am  certain: happiness  never  favors  those  who  merely  care  about  themselves, and  the  meaning  of  life  cannot  be  understood  by  those  who  refuse  to  sacrifice  anything  for  others.

What  Makes  a  Soccer  Player  Great?

Soccer  is  played  by  millions  of  people  all  over  the  world, but  there  have  only  been  few  players  who  were  truly  great.How  did  these 31   J   get  that  way----was  it  through  training  and   practice, or  are  great  players’ born, not  made?

First,these  players 32   E   from  places  that  have  had  famous  starts  in  the  past---players  that  a  young  boy  can  look  up  to  and  try  to  imitate. In  the  history  of  soccer, only  six  countries  have  ever 33   B   the  World  Cup---three  from  South  America  and  three  from  Western  Europe.There  has  never  been  a  great  national  team---or  a  really  great  player---from  North  America  or  from  Asia. Second, these  players  have  all  had  years  of 34   C   in  the  game.Alfredo  Di  Stefano  was  the  son  of  a  soccer  player,as  was  Pele.Most  players  begin  playing  the  game  at  the  35   D   of  three  or  four. 36   H   ,many  great  players  come  from  the  same  kind  of  neighborhood---a  poor,crowded  area  where  a  boy’s 37   A    is  not  to  be  a  doctor,lawyer,or  businessman,but to  become  rich, famous  athlete  or  entertainer.For  example,Liverpool  which  produced  the  Beatles(甲壳虫乐队),had  one  of  the  best  English  soccer  teams  in 38   G   years.Pele  practiced  in  the  street  with  a  “ball”made  of  rags(破布).

All  great  players  have  a  lot  in 39   K   ,but  that  doesn’t  explain  why  they  are  great.Hundreds  of  boys  played  in  those  Brazilian  streets,but  only  one  became  Pele.The  greatest  players  are  born  with  some 40   I    quality  that  sets  them  apart  from  all  the  others.

How  do  Americans  Spend  Their  Free  Time?

Americans  speed  their  free  time  in 41   various   （variety）ways. People  enjoy  building  things  and 42   sewing   (sew) their  own  clothes. They  do  these  things  for  fun  and  for 43   economy   (economic).25 million  adults  continue  their  education, 44   chiefly   (chief) by  going  to  school  in  the  evening  at  their  own 45   expense   (expensive). Americans  also  devote  a  lot  of  their  time  to  the  needs  of  their  communities, often  without  any  pay.Why  do  they  do  it?

There  are  several  answers. The  idea  of 46   cooperating   (cooperate) and  sharing  responsibility  with  one  another  for  the  benefit  of  all  is  as  old  as  the  country  itself.When  the  country  was  first 47   founded   (found) in  1776, it  was  necessary  for  the  settlers  to  work  together  to  live.They  had  crossed  dangerous  seas  and  risked  all  they  had  for  political  and 48   religious   (religion) freedom.It  is  true  that  some  people  use  their  leisure  because  they  are 49   truly   (true) interested  in  the  work; or  that  they  are  learning  from  the  experience. No  matter  what  the  reason  is,hundreds  of  so  called  leisure  hours  are  put into  hard, 50   unpaid   (pay) work  on  one  or  another  community  need.
