閱讀理解

  Many things about language are a mystery(謎), and many will always remain so.But some things we do know.

  First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort.There is no race(種族)of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one mother.Furthermore, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.

  Second, there is no such thing as a primitive(原始的)language.There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized(不開(kāi)化的,落后的), but the languages they speak are not primitive.In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.

  This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated.Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate.Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises.Study has proved this to be nonsense(胡說(shuō),沒(méi)有根據(jù)的話).There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old.They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive five than English and Greek.

  A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate.That is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.

  Finally, we know that language changes.It is natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones.This is easy to understand if we look backward in time.Change goes on in all aspects of language.Grammatical features change as do speech sounds, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive(廣泛的)and may occur very rapidly.Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.

完型填空 (共20小題,每小題1分,滿分20分)

I was tired and hungry after a long day of work. When I walked into the living room, my 12-year-old son looked __26__ at me and said, “I love you.” I didn’t know what to say. __27__ several seconds all I could do was to stand there and __28__ down at him. My first thought was that he must need __29__ with his homework or he was trying to __30__ me for some news. Finally I asked, “What was that all about?”

“Nothing.” He said, “My teacher said we should __31__ our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s a(n) __32__.”

The next day I called his teacher to __33__ more about this “experiment” and how the other parents had __34__.

“Basically, most of the fathers had the __35__ reaction as you did.” The teacher said, “When I first __36__ we try this, I asked the children what they thought their parents would say. Some of them thought their parents would have heart trouble.” “The __37__ is,” the teacher explained, “feeling loved is an important part of __38__. It’s something all human beings __39__. What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too __40__ that we don’t all express those feelings. A boy should be __41__ to tell his dad that he loves him.”

The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how __42__ it is for some of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.

When my son came to me that evening, I held on to him for __43__ second. And just __44__ he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly voice, “Hey, I love you, too.”

I don’t know if saying that made either of us healthier, but it did feel pretty good. Maybe next time if my child says “I love you”, it would not take me a whole day to think of the right __45__.

The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses relate to diet and forty percent of cancer relates to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures.

That food is connected with illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic  additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cow. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.  

What is the best possible title of the passage?

  A. Drug and Food              B. Cancer and Health

 C. Food and Health              D. Health and Drug

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

  A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.

  B. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are

given to the living animals.

  C. Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for over

thirty-five years.

  D. Food may cause forty percent of cancer in world.

How has science done something harmful to mankind?

 A. Because of science, diseases caused by polluted food haven’t been virtually

eliminated.

  B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.

  C. Because of the application of science, some potentially harmful substances

have been added to food.

 D. The scientists have preserved the color of meat, but not of vegetables.

What are nitrates used for?

  A. They preserve flavor in packaged foods.

  B. They preserve the color of meats.

  C. They are the objects of research.

The word ‘carcinogenic’ most nearly means ‘_________’.

  A. trouble-making                 B. color-maintaining

  C. money-making                 D .cancer-causing
