Myths and legends of the supernatural shroud the early history of writing,as they do of sp

Myths and legends of the supernatural shroud the early history of writing,

as they do of speech. Archaeological discoveries provide charming pinholes of

illumination along with frustrated problems of interpretation. An account of the 【S1】______.

early history of writing has gradually emerged, but it keeps many gaps and 【S2】______.

ambiguities.

The matter is complicated by the fact that, in this early period, it is by

no means easy to decide whether a piece of graphic expression should be

counted as an artistic imagination or as a symbol of primitive writing. In 【S3】______.

principle, the difference is clear: the first conveys personal and subjective 【S4】______.

meanings, and does not combine into a system of recurring symbols with

accepted values; by contrast, the latter is conventional and institutionalized,

capable of been understood in the same way by all who are using the system. 【S5】______.

When the product is a rock carving or painting of an animal, there is a little 【S6】______.

doubt that its purpose is nonlinguistic (thought whether it has an aesthetic,

religious, or other function is debatable). However, when the product is a

series of apparent geometrical shapes or tiny characters, the distinction

between art and writing becomes more obvious. The language may even reflect 【S7】______.

the problem: in early Greek, and in Egyptian, the same word was used for

both "write" and "draw". One point, at least, is fairly clear. It now seems

most likely that writing system revolved independently of each other at 【S8】______.

different times in several parts of the world -- in Mesopotamia, China, Meso-

America, and elsewhere. There is anything to support a theory of common 【S9】______.

origin. There are of course similarities between these systems, but these are

not altogether surprising, giving the limited ways of devising a system of 【S10】______.

written communication.

听力原文： We can read of things that happened 5000 years ago in the Near East, where people first learned to write. But there are some parts of the word where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas—legends handed down from one generation to another. (29)These legends are useful because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did.

(30) Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian people now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2000 years ago.

But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if they had any, are forgotten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out where the first 'modern men' came from.

(31) Fortunately, however, ancient men made tools of stone, especially flint, because this is easier to shape than other kinds. They may also have used wood and skins, but these have rotted away. (31)Stone does not decay, and so the tools of long ago have remained when even the bones of the men who made them have disappeared without trace.

(30)

A．They moved from one place to another.

B．They came from Indonesia.

C．They have left us information about their migrations.

D．They preserved their sagas and legends.

听力原文：One of the most popular myths about the United States in the 19th Century was tha

听力原文： One of the most popular myths about the United States in the 19th Century was that of the free and simple life of the farmer. It was said that the farmers worked hard on their own land to produce whatever their families needed. They might sometimes trade with their neighbors, but in general they could get along just fine by relying on themselves, not on commercial ties with others. This is how Thomas Jefferson idealized the farmer at the beginning of the 19th century. And at that time, this may have been close to the truth, especially on the frontier. But by the mid-century, sweeping changes in agriculture were well underway as farmers began to specialize in the raising of crops such as cotton or corn or wheat. By late in the century, revolutionary advances in farm machinery had vastly increased production of specialized crops and an extensive network of railroads had linked farmers throughout the country to markets in the east and even overseas. By raising and selling specialized crops, farmers could afford more and finer goods and achieve a much higher standard of living.

Now farmers were no longer dependent just on the weather and on their own efforts, their lives were increasingly controlled by banks, which had power to grant or deny loans for new machinery, and by the railroads which set the rates for shipping their crops to market. As businessmen, farmers now had to worry about national economic depressions and the influence of world supply and demand on the price of wheat. So by the end of the 19th century, the era of Jefferson's independent farmer had come to a close.

(33)

A．Improvements in farm machinery in the United States.

B．Farmers' loss of independence.

C．Jefferson's views about commercialized agriculture.

D．International trade in the nineteenth century.

第9题

The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is probably why there are mo

re myths about it than any of the other plagues that flesh is heir to.

The most widespread fallacy of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses passed on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them permanently. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.

During the First World War, soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches, cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.

In the Second World War, prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp, naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.

At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they submitted to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be doused with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty rooms. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.

If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more prevalent in the winter？ Despite the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.

No one has yet found a cure for colds. There are drugs and pain suppressors such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms.

According to the passage, there are more myths about the common cold than any other human disease because ______.

A．it spreads more quickly

B．it is the most widespread illness

C．the climate of the world is getting colder and colder

D．few people can catch colds

but behind it lies two myths: the myth of the city as a 【S7】______

and brings it flooding into city centers, and the myth of the 【S9】______

country as a Garden of Eden, which, a few generations

late, sends them flooding out again to the suburbs. 【S1】______
