4.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Scientists have established that influenza viruses taken from man can cause the disease in animals. In addition,man can catch the disease from animals. In fact,a great number of wild birds seem to carry the virus without showing any evidence of illness. Some scientists conclude that a large family of influenza viruses may have evolved in the bird kingdom,a group that has been on the earth 100 million years and is able to carry the virus without contracting the disease. These are even convincing evidence to show that virus strains are transmitted from place to place and from continent to continent by migrating birds.It is known that two influenza viruses can recombine when both are present in an animal at the same time. The result of such recombinations is a great variety of strains constraining different H and N spikes. This raises the possibility that a human influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus form. a lower animal to produce an entirely new spike.Research is underway to determine if that is the way that major new strains come into being. Another possibility is that two animal influenza strains may recombine in a pig,for example,to produce a new strain which is transmitted to man.According to the passage,scientists have discovered that influenza viruses______.A. cause ill health in wild birdsB. do not always cause symptoms in birdsC. are rarely present in wild birdsD. change when transferred from animals to man

    Some Things We Know About Language
    Many things about language are a mystery,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(种族)of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language,no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another.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,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.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 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 and may occur very rapidly.Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.

    The author has used American Indian language to illustrate______.
    A:it hasn't been well understood that there is no primitive language
    B:the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises
    C:English and Greek are less primitive than American Indian languages
    D:hundreds of American Indian languages are easy and young

    答案:A
    解析:
    根据第二段第一句中的“First",第三段第一句中的“second,第五段第一句中的“Athird thing",以及第六段第一句中“Finally”可知,作者主要从四个方面来淦释语言的特征。
    根据第三段最后一句可知,所有已知的语言无不经过了数万年的充分发展。
    第四段第一句中的“This”指的就是第三段所诊释的内容,再结合第三段第一句" Second , there is no such thing as a primitive language.”可知,A项正确。
    由第五段可知,A、B两项表述正确。根据第四段最后一句可知,作者认为不同的语言没有发展水平上的差别,美国的印第安语和英语一样复杂,故C项表述正确,D项表述不正确。
    根据第六段最后一句可知,词汇是所有语言中最不稳定的部分,即它最容易发生变化。

    Some Things We Know About Language
    Many things about language are a mystery,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 of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language,no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. Furthermore,in historical times,there has never been a race of men without a language.
    Second,there is no such thing as a primitive language.There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped,who are,as we say,uncivilized,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 .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 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 teatures change as do speech sounds,and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rap-idly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.

    In the second paragraph the passage tells us that______.
    A: some backward race doesn't have a language of its own
    B: some race in history didn't possess a language of its own
    C: any human race,whether backward or not,has a language
    D: some races on earth can communicate without language

    答案:C
    解析:
    作者在第二段中认为,任何人种不管落后与否都有语言。文中的原句是:There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language…


    此题的答案来自第三段。

    【听力原文】
    Stock markets in Europe and the United States have fallen sharply in response to further signs that the debt crisis in Greece is intensifying and could spread to other countries. Share prices in New York, London, Frankfurt and Paris fell by more than 2% after a major international credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s downgraded Greek debt to a level known informally as junk.
      Standard & Poor’s downgraded its assessment of Greek bonds to the so-called junk status because of the growing danger that the bond holders will not be paid back in full. Many big investment funds have rules that forbid them from holding junk bonds, says the move is likely to trigger a further round of selling. Share markets have taken fright, fearing that if Greece does default on its debts, it would hit many European banks which hold Greek bonds and could trigger a wider financial crisis. Already pressure is mounting on Portugal which has also seen its credit rating downgraded today, although it remains above junk status.

    Some Things We Know About Language
    Many things about language are a mystery,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 of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language,no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. Furthermore,in historical times,there has never been a race of men without a language.
    Second,there is no such thing as a primitive language.There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped,who are,as we say,uncivilized,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 .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 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 teatures change as do speech sounds,and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rap-idly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.

    The author has used American Indian languages as an example to show that they are______.
    A: just as old as some well-known languages
    B: just as sophisticated as some well-known languages
    C: more developed than some well-known languages
    D: more complex than some well-known languages

    答案:B
    解析:
    作者在第二段中认为,任何人种不管落后与否都有语言。文中的原句是:There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language…


    此题的答案来自第三段。


    作者列举美国印第安人的语言的目的是证明这些语言和一些著名的语言一样先进。原句是:They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with,but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.

    【录音原文】
    Windows, just a prototype in 1983, is now the dominant personal-computer (PC) operating system, having seen off a host of rivals. The computer industry has mushroomed in size, gone through several booms and busts, and is now worth around $870 billion. Microsoft has become the world’s largest software firm, and Mr. Gates the world’s richest man. His firm has also, of course, been through a bruising battle with antitrust regulators. But even as the landscape has changed around Mr. Gates, his position as the industry’s figurehead has remained unchallenged. Each year, for two digital decades, he has returned to Comdex to rally the industry, hold court with analysts and journalists, unveil new products and present his optimistic vision of the future.
