1
Is language, like food, a basic human
need without which a child at a critical period of life
can be starved and damaged? Judging from the drastic experiment
of Frederick Ⅱ in the thir-
teenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child
would speak if he heard no
, http://www.100md.com
mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.
All the infants died before the first
year. But clearly there was more than lack of language
here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering,
in the first year of life
especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.
, http://www.100md.com
Today no such severe lack exists
as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children
are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is
that the mother is insensitive to
the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language
rapidly. If these sensitive
, 百拇医药
periods are neglected , the ideal time for acquiring skills passes
and they might never be learned so
easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right
time, but the process is slow and
hard once the critical stage has passed.
Experts suggest that speech stages
, http://www.100md.com
are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but
there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventuaLly
turns out to be of high IQ.
At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds; at twelve
months he can speak sim-
ple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he
, 百拇医药
has a vocabulary of three to
fifty words. At three he knows about l ,000 words which he can put
into sentences, and at four
his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than
grammar.
Recent evidence suggests that an
infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special
, 百拇医药
about man's brain, compared with that of the monkey, if the complex
system which enables a
child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the
sound pattem "toy-bear" . And
even more incredible is the young brain' s ability to pick out an
order in language from the mixture
of sound around him, to analyse, to combine and recombine the parts
, 百拇医药
of a language in new ways.
But speech has to be induced, and
this depends on interaction between the mother and the
child , where the mother recognizes the signals in the child' s
babbling ( 咿呀学语) , grasping and
smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these
, http://www.100md.com
signals dulls the interaction
because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious
signals. Sensitivity to the
child ' s non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development
of language.
31 . The purpose of Frederick II's experiment was__
A. to prove that children are born with the ability to speak
, http://www.100md.com
B. to discover what language a child would speak without hearing
any human speech
C. to find out what role careful nursing would play in teaching
a child to speak
D. to prove that a child could be damaged without learning a language
32. The reason some children are backward in speaking is most probably
, 百拇医药
that__
A. they are incapable of learning language rapidly
B. they are exposed to too much language at once
C. their mothers respond inadequately to their attempts to speak
D. their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them
33 . What is exceptionally remarkable about a child is that
A. he is born with the capacity to speak
, http://www.100md.com
B. he has a brain more complex than an animal's
C. he can produce his own sentences
D. he owes his speech ability to good nursing
34. Which of the fonowing can NOT be inferred from the passage?
A. The faculty of speech is inborn in man.
B. Encouragement is anything but essential to a child in language
, http://www.100md.com
learning.
C. The child' s brain is highly selective.
D. Most children learn their language in definite stages.
35. If a child starts to speak later than others, he will
A. have a high IQ
B. be less intelligent
C. be insensitive to verbal signals
D. not necessarily be backward

In general , our society is becoming
, http://www.100md.com
one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic ( 官僚主义的)management
in which man becomes a small , well-oiled cog in the machinery.
The oiling
is done with higher wages, well-ventilated factories and piped music,
and by psychologists and
"human-relations" experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the
, 百拇医药
fact that man has become power-
less, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and
that he is bored with it. In fact ,
the blue-and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets
who dance to the tune of au-
tomated machines and bureaucratic management .
The worker and employee are anxious,
, 百拇医药
not only because they might find themselves out of a
job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any
real satisfaction or interest in
life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental
realities of human exis-
tence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive
, 百拇医药
human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder
are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than
those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some
respects. They are in a highly
competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter
, 百拇医药
of salary but even more a matter
of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested
for intelligence as well as for
the tight mixture of submissiveness and independence. From that
moment on they are tested a-
gain and again-by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business,
, 百拇医药
and by their superiors,
who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along , etc.
This constant need to prove that
one is as good as or better than one' s fellow-competitor creates
constant anxiety and stress, the
very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting that we should return
, 百拇医药
to the preindustrial mode of production'or to nine-
teenth-century "free enterprise" capitalism? Certainly not. Problems
are never solved by returning
to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming
our social system from a bu-
reaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production
, 百拇医药
and consumption are ends in
themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development
of his potentialities-
those of love and of reason-are the aims of all social arrangements.
Production and consumption
should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented
from ruling man.
, 百拇医药
36. By "a well-oiled cog in the machinery" the author intends to
render the idea that man is
A. a necessary part of the society though each individual's function
is negligible
B. working in complete harmony with the rest of the society
C. an unimportant part in comparison with the rest of the society,
, 百拇医药
though functioning
smoothly
D. a humble component of the society, especially when working smoothly
37 . The real cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees
is that
A. they are likely to lose their jobs
B. they have no genuine satisfaction or interest in life
, 百拇医药
C. they are faced with the fundamental realities of human existence
D. they are deprtved of their individuality and independence
38. From the passage we can infer that real happiness of life belongs
to those
A. who are at the bottom of the society
B. who are higher up in their social status
, http://www.100md.com C. who prove better than their fellow-competitors
D. who could keep far away from this competitive world
39. To solve the present social problems the author suggests that
we should
A. resort to the production mode of our ancestors
B. offer higher wages to the workers and employees
C. enable man to fully develop his potentialities
, 百拇医药
D. take the fundamental realities for granted
40 . The author's attitude towards industrialism might best be summarized
as one of __
A. approval B. dissatisfaction
C. suspicion D. tolerance

When an invention is made, the inventor
has three possible courses of action open to him: he
can give the invention to the world by publishing it, keep the idea
secret, or patent it.
A granted patent is the result of
a bargain struck between an inventor and the state, by
, 百拇医药
which the inventor gets a limited period of monopoly (垄断) and publishes
full details of his in-
vention to the public after that period terminates.
Only in the most exceptional circumstances is the lifespan of a
patent extended to alter this
normal process of events.
The longest extension ever granted
, 百拇医药
was to Georges Valensi; his 1939 patent for color TV re-
ceiver circuitry was extended until 1971 because for most of the
patent' s normal life there was no
colour TV to receive and thus no hope of reward for the invention.
Because a patent remains permanently
public after it has terminated, the shelves of the li-
, http://www.100md.com
brary attached to the patent office contain details of literally
millions of ideas that are free for any-
one to use and , if older than half a century, sometimes even re-patent.
Indeed, patent experts of-
ten advise anyone wishing to avoid the high cost of conducting a
search through live patents that
, http://www.100md.com
the one sure way of avoiding violation of any other inventor' s
right is to plagiarize a dead patent.
Likewise , because publication of an idea in any other form permanently
invalidates further patents
on that idea, it is traditionally safe to take ideas from other
areas of print. Much modern techno-
, 百拇医药
logical advance is based on these presumptions of legal security.
Anyone closely involved in patents
and inventions soon learns that most "new" ideas are, in
fact, as old as the hills. It is their reduction to commercial practice,
either through necessity or
dedication , or through the availability of new technology, that
, http://www.100md.com
makes news and money. The basic
patent for the theory of magnetic recording dates back to 1886.
Many of the original ideas behind
television originate from the late 19th and early 20th century.
Even the Volkswagen rear engine
car was anticipated by a 1904 patent for a cart with the horse at
, http://www.100md.com the rear.
4t . The passage is mainly about
A. an approach to patents B. the application for patents
C. the use of patents D. the access to patents
42. Which of the following is TRUE acoording to the passage?
A. When a patent becomes out of effect, it can be re-patented or
extended if necessary.
, http://www.100md.com
B. It is necessary for an inventor to apply for a patent before
he makes his invention public.
C. A patent holder must publicize the details of his invention when
its legaL period is over.
D. One can get all the details of a patented invention from a library
attached to the patent of-
fice .
, http://www.100md.com
43 . George Valensi's patent lasted until 1971 because
A. nobody would offer any reward for his patent prior to that time
B. his patent could not be put to use for an unusually long time
C. there were not enough TV stations to provide colour programmes
D. the colour TV receiver was not available until that time
44. The word "plagiarize" (line 8 , Para. 5) most probably means
, 百拇医药
"_"
A. steal and use B. give reward to
C. make public D. take and change
45. From the passage we learn that
A. an invention will not benefit the inventor unless it is reduced
to commercial practice
B. products are actually inventions which were made a long time
, http://www.100md.com
ago
C. it is much cheaper to buy an old patent than a new one
D. patent experts often recommend patents to others by conducting
a search through dead
patents

and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET

Although interior design has existed
since the beginning of architecture , its development into
a specialized field is really quite recent. Interior designers have
become important partly because of
, http://www.100md.com
the many functions that might be (46) in a single large building.
The importance of interior design
becomes (47) when we realize how much time we (48)
surrounded by four walls. Whenever we need to be indoors, we want
our surroundings to
be ( 49) attractive and comfortable as possible. We also

ate to its use. You would be (51 ) if the inside of your
bedroom were suddenLy changed to

that has the appearance of a school.
It soon becomes clear that the interior
, http://www.100md.com
designer' s most important basic (54) . is the func-
tion of the particular (55 ) . For example , a theater with
poor sight lines, poor sound-shaping
aualitles , and (56) few entries and exits will not work
for ( 57) purpose , no matter how
beautifully it might be ( 58) . Nevertheless, (59)

Ⅴ. Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined sentences
, 百拇医药
into Chi-
nese. (15 points)
(71 ) The method of scientific investigation
is nothing but the expression of the necessary
mode of working of the human mind; it is simply the mode by which all phenomena
are reasoned
about and given precise and exact expianation. There is no more difference,
, 百拇医药
but there is just the
same kind of difference, between the mental operations of a man of science and
those of an ordi-
nary person , as there is between the operations and methods of a baker or of
a butcher weighing
out his goods in common scales, and the operations of a chemist in performing
, 百拇医药 a difficult and com-
plex analysis by means of his balance and finely graded weights. (72) It
is not that the scales in
the one case, and the balance in the other, differ in the principles of their
construction or manner
of working; but that the latter is a much finer apparatus and of course much
, 百拇医药 more accurate in its
measurement than the former.
You will understand this better, perhaps,
if I give you some familiar examples. (73) You
have all heard it repeated that men of science work by means of induction (归纳法)
and deduc-
tion, that by the help of these operations, they, in a sort of sense, manage
, 百拇医药
to extract from Nature
certain natural laws, and that out of these, by some special skill of their
own, they buiLd up their
theories. (74) And it is imagined by many that the operations of the
common mind can be by no
means compared with these processes, and that they have to be acquired by
, 百拇医药 a sort of special train-
ing. To hear all these large words, you would think that the mind of a man of
science must be
constituted differently from that of his fellow men; but if you will not be
frightened by terms,
you will discover that you are quite wrong , and that all these terrible apparatus
, 百拇医药 are being used by
yourselves every day and every hour of your lives.
There is a well-known incident in one of
Motiere's plays, where the author makes the hero
express unbounded delight on being told that he had been talking prose (散文)
during the whole
of his life. In the same way, I trust that you will take comfort, and be delighted
, 百拇医药
with yourselves,
on the discovery that you have been acting on the principles of inductive and
deductive philosophy
during the same period. (75)Plobably there is not one here who has not in
the course of the day had
occasion to set in motion a complex train of reasoning, of the very same kind,
, http://www.100md.com
though differing in degree,as that which a scientific man goes through in tracing
the causes of natural phenomena.

1
Is language, like food, a basic human
need without which a child at a critical period of life
can be starved and damaged? Judging from the drastic experiment
of Frederick Ⅱ in the thir-
teenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child
would speak if he heard no
, http://www.100md.com
mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.
All the infants died before the first
year. But clearly there was more than lack of language
here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering,
in the first year of life
especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.
, http://www.100md.com
Today no such severe lack exists
as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children
are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is
that the mother is insensitive to
the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language
rapidly. If these sensitive
, 百拇医药
periods are neglected , the ideal time for acquiring skills passes
and they might never be learned so
easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right
time, but the process is slow and
hard once the critical stage has passed.
Experts suggest that speech stages
, http://www.100md.com
are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but
there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventuaLly
turns out to be of high IQ.
At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds; at twelve
months he can speak sim-
ple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he
, 百拇医药
has a vocabulary of three to
fifty words. At three he knows about l ,000 words which he can put
into sentences, and at four
his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than
grammar.
Recent evidence suggests that an
infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special
, 百拇医药
about man's brain, compared with that of the monkey, if the complex
system which enables a
child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the
sound pattem "toy-bear" . And
even more incredible is the young brain' s ability to pick out an
order in language from the mixture
of sound around him, to analyse, to combine and recombine the parts
, 百拇医药
of a language in new ways.
But speech has to be induced, and
this depends on interaction between the mother and the
child , where the mother recognizes the signals in the child' s
babbling ( 咿呀学语) , grasping and
smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these
, http://www.100md.com
signals dulls the interaction
because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious
signals. Sensitivity to the
child ' s non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development
of language.
31 . The purpose of Frederick II's experiment was__
A. to prove that children are born with the ability to speak
, http://www.100md.com
B. to discover what language a child would speak without hearing
any human speech
C. to find out what role careful nursing would play in teaching
a child to speak
D. to prove that a child could be damaged without learning a language
32. The reason some children are backward in speaking is most probably
, 百拇医药
that__
A. they are incapable of learning language rapidly
B. they are exposed to too much language at once
C. their mothers respond inadequately to their attempts to speak
D. their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them
33 . What is exceptionally remarkable about a child is that
A. he is born with the capacity to speak
, http://www.100md.com
B. he has a brain more complex than an animal's
C. he can produce his own sentences
D. he owes his speech ability to good nursing

In general , our society is becoming
, http://www.100md.com
one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic ( 官僚主义的)management
in which man becomes a small , well-oiled cog in the machinery.
The oiling
is done with higher wages, well-ventilated factories and piped music,
and by psychologists and
"human-relations" experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the
, 百拇医药
fact that man has become power-
less, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and
that he is bored with it. In fact ,
the blue-and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets
who dance to the tune of au-
tomated machines and bureaucratic management .
The worker and employee are anxious,
, 百拇医药
not only because they might find themselves out of a
job; they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any
real satisfaction or interest in
life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental
realities of human exis-
tence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive
, 百拇医药
human beings.
Those higher up on the social ladder
are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than
those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some
respects. They are in a highly
competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter
, 百拇医药
of salary but even more a matter
of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested
for intelligence as well as for
the tight mixture of submissiveness and independence. From that
moment on they are tested a-
gain and again-by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business,
, 百拇医药
and by their superiors,
who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get along , etc.
This constant need to prove that
one is as good as or better than one' s fellow-competitor creates
constant anxiety and stress, the
very causes of unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting that we should return
, 百拇医药
to the preindustrial mode of production'or to nine-
teenth-century "free enterprise" capitalism? Certainly not. Problems
are never solved by returning
to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming
our social system from a bu-
reaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production
, 百拇医药
and consumption are ends in
themselves into a humanist industrialism in which man and full development
of his potentialities-
those of love and of reason-are the aims of all social arrangements.
Production and consumption
should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented
from ruling man.

36. By "a well-oiled cog in the machinery" the author intends to
render the idea that man is
A. a necessary part of the society though each individual's function
is negligible
B. working in complete harmony with the rest of the society
C. an unimportant part in comparison with the rest of the society,
, 百拇医药
though functioning
smoothly
D. a humble component of the society, especially when working smoothly

is that
A. they are likely to lose their jobs
B. they have no genuine satisfaction or interest in life
, 百拇医药
C. they are faced with the fundamental realities of human existence
D. they are deprtved of their individuality and independence

to those
A. who are at the bottom of the society
B. who are higher up in their social status

D. who could keep far away from this competitive world

we should
A. resort to the production mode of our ancestors
B. offer higher wages to the workers and employees
C. enable man to fully develop his potentialities

When an invention is made, the inventor
has three possible courses of action open to him: he
can give the invention to the world by publishing it, keep the idea
secret, or patent it.
A granted patent is the result of
a bargain struck between an inventor and the state, by
, 百拇医药
which the inventor gets a limited period of monopoly (垄断) and publishes
full details of his in-
vention to the public after that period terminates.
Only in the most exceptional circumstances is the lifespan of a
patent extended to alter this
normal process of events.
The longest extension ever granted
, 百拇医药
was to Georges Valensi; his 1939 patent for color TV re-
ceiver circuitry was extended until 1971 because for most of the
patent' s normal life there was no
colour TV to receive and thus no hope of reward for the invention.
Because a patent remains permanently
public after it has terminated, the shelves of the li-
, http://www.100md.com
brary attached to the patent office contain details of literally
millions of ideas that are free for any-
one to use and , if older than half a century, sometimes even re-patent.
Indeed, patent experts of-
ten advise anyone wishing to avoid the high cost of conducting a
search through live patents that
, http://www.100md.com
the one sure way of avoiding violation of any other inventor' s
right is to plagiarize a dead patent.
Likewise , because publication of an idea in any other form permanently
invalidates further patents
on that idea, it is traditionally safe to take ideas from other
areas of print. Much modern techno-
, 百拇医药
logical advance is based on these presumptions of legal security.
Anyone closely involved in patents
and inventions soon learns that most "new" ideas are, in
fact, as old as the hills. It is their reduction to commercial practice,
either through necessity or
dedication , or through the availability of new technology, that
, http://www.100md.com
makes news and money. The basic
patent for the theory of magnetic recording dates back to 1886.
Many of the original ideas behind
television originate from the late 19th and early 20th century.
Even the Volkswagen rear engine
car was anticipated by a 1904 patent for a cart with the horse at
, http://www.100md.com the rear.
4t . The passage is mainly about
A. an approach to patents B. the application for patents
C. the use of patents D. the access to patents
42. Which of the following is TRUE acoording to the passage?
A. When a patent becomes out of effect, it can be re-patented or
extended if necessary.
, http://www.100md.com
B. It is necessary for an inventor to apply for a patent before
he makes his invention public.
C. A patent holder must publicize the details of his invention when
its legaL period is over.
D. One can get all the details of a patented invention from a library
attached to the patent of-
fice .

A. nobody would offer any reward for his patent prior to that time
B. his patent could not be put to use for an unusually long time
C. there were not enough TV stations to provide colour programmes
D. the colour TV receiver was not available until that time
44. The word "plagiarize" (line 8 , Para. 5) most probably means
, 百拇医药
"_"
A. steal and use B. give reward to
C. make public D. take and change

to commercial practice
B. products are actually inventions which were made a long time

patents

Although interior design has existed
since the beginning of architecture , its development into

the many functions that might be (46) in a single large building.

Ⅴ. Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined sentences
, 百拇医药
into Chi-
nese. (15 points)
(71 ) The method of scientific investigation
is nothing but the expression of the necessary
mode of working of the human mind; it is simply the mode by which all phenomena
are reasoned
about and given precise and exact expianation. There is no more difference,
, 百拇医药
but there is just the
same kind of difference, between the mental operations of a man of science and
those of an ordi-
nary person , as there is between the operations and methods of a baker or of
a butcher weighing
out his goods in common scales, and the operations of a chemist in performing
, 百拇医药 a difficult and com-
plex analysis by means of his balance and finely graded weights. (72) It
is not that the scales in
the one case, and the balance in the other, differ in the principles of their
construction or manner
of working; but that the latter is a much finer apparatus and of course much
, 百拇医药 more accurate in its
measurement than the former.
You will understand this better, perhaps,
if I give you some familiar examples. (73) You
have all heard it repeated that men of science work by means of induction (归纳法)
and deduc-
tion, that by the help of these operations, they, in a sort of sense, manage
, 百拇医药
to extract from Nature
certain natural laws, and that out of these, by some special skill of their
own, they buiLd up their
theories. (74) And it is imagined by many that the operations of the
common mind can be by no
means compared with these processes, and that they have to be acquired by
, 百拇医药 a sort of special train-
ing. To hear all these large words, you would think that the mind of a man of
science must be
constituted differently from that of his fellow men; but if you will not be
frightened by terms,
you will discover that you are quite wrong , and that all these terrible apparatus
, 百拇医药 are being used by
yourselves every day and every hour of your lives.
There is a well-known incident in one of
Motiere's plays, where the author makes the hero
express unbounded delight on being told that he had been talking prose (散文)
during the whole
of his life. In the same way, I trust that you will take comfort, and be delighted
, 百拇医药
with yourselves,
on the discovery that you have been acting on the principles of inductive and
deductive philosophy
during the same period. (75)Plobably there is not one here who has not in
the course of the day had
occasion to set in motion a complex train of reasoning, of the very same kind,
, http://www.100md.com
though differing in degree,as that which a scientific man goes through in tracing
the causes of natural phenomena.
