They had U (27) /U their young sister to U (28) /U, saying t
2、hat the long walk would be U (29) /U tiring for her. Once they had got beyond the headland, the beach U (30) /U away endlessly before them. U (31) /U discovering the world. There were damp, dark caves to U (32) /U; there were innumerable pools among the rocks, full of sea creatures; U (33) /U here a
3、nd there along the beach were those strange, yet commonplace objects, washed up and U (34) /U by the tide. The afternoon passed quickly. The sun was already setting when the boys reluctantly U (35) /U to make their way homeward. But long before they reached the headland, they could see that the tide
4、 had come in U (36) /U far that they were now U (37) /U from either end of the beach. Their only chance of U (38) /U was to find a way up the cliff nearby. They soon found a narrow path leading to the cliff top. But half way up, their path was U (39) /U by a large rock which they could not U (40) /U
5、. The two boys had to shout at the top of their voices,U (41) /U someone might come to their U (42) /U. Just then, to their great surprise, their father U (43) /U over the top of the rock, and with him were two policemen. One of them climbed down a rope which was U (44) /U over the rock. The two boy
6、s were then pulled to safety, and thus U (45) /U from spending a miserable night on the cliff. AtooBevenCeverDstill 2.BText 2/B The period of adolescence, i. e. , the period between childhood and adulthood, may be long or short, depending on social expectations and on societys definition as to what
7、constitutes maturity and adulthood. In primitive societies adolescence is frequently a relatively short period of time, while in industrial societies with patterns of prolonged education coupled with laws against child labor, the period of adolescence is much longer and may include most of the secon
8、d decade of ones life. Furthermore, the length of the adolescent period and the definition of adulthood status may change in a given society as social and economic conditions change. Examples of this type of change are the disappearance of the frontier in the latter part of the nineteenth century in
9、 the United States, and more universally, the industrialization of an agricultural society. In modern society, ceremonies for adolescence have lost their formal recognition and symbolic significance and there no longer is agreement as to what constitutes initiation ceremonies. Social ones have been
10、replaced by a sequence of steps that lead to increased recognition and social status. For example, grade school graduation, high school graduation and college graduation constitute such a sequence, and while each step implies certain behavioral changes and social recognition, the significance of eac
11、h depends on the socio-economic status and the educational ambition of the individual. Ceremonies for adolescence have also been replaced by legal definitions of status roles, rights privileges and responsibilities. It is during the nine years from the twelfth birthday to the twenty-first that the p
12、rotective and restrictive aspects of childhood and minor status are removed and adult privileges and responsibilities are granted. The twelve-year-old is no longer considered a child and has to pay full fare for train, airplane, theater and movie tickets. Basically, the individual at this age loses
13、childhood privileges without gaining significant adult rights. At the age of sixteen the adolescent is granted certain adult rights which increases his social status by providing him with more freedom and choices. He now can obtain a drivers license; he can leave public schools; and he can work with
14、out the restrictions of child labor laws. At the age of eighteen they also can marry without parental permission. At the age of twenty-one the individual obtains his full legal rights as an adult. He now can vote, he can buy liquor, he can enter into financial contracts, and he is entitled to run fo
15、r public office. No additional basic rights are acquired as a function of age after majority status has been attained. None of these legal provisions determine at what point adulthood has been reached but they do point to the prolonged period of adolescence.Starting from 22, _. Aone will obtain more
16、 basic rightsBthe older one becomes, the more basic rights he will haveCone wont get more basic rights than when he is 21Done will enjoy more rights granted by society 3.BText 3/B Ever since humans have lived on the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this express
17、ion of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists and the people unable to hear or speak have had to resort to this form of expression.
18、 Many of these symbols of whole words are very vivid and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of indicating that the party is only joking. A nod sig
19、nifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn and instruct people. Whil
20、e language is the most common form of communication, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.How many different forms of communication are mentioned here A5.B7.C9.D3. 4.BText 1/B Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount of
21、listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will obey spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word obey is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before th
22、ey can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to trace the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few
23、months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of delight, distress, sociability, and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early form of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they
24、 play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their store. This self-imitation leads on to deliberate imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can
25、be considered as speech. It is a problem we need not get our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation; and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use, at his seven
26、 months, of mama as a greeting for his mother can not be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and apparently meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to spe
27、ak for himself. I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents cash in on this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.It can be inferred from the passage that when a 7-month baby calls his or her mother mama, _. Ahe probably has already known the meaning of mamaBhe probably has known t
28、hat mother should be called in this wayChe probably does not know the sound stands for motherDit is the first meaningful sound pronounced by him 5.B Text/B After lunch, without permission from their parents, the two boys set off to explore the part of the beach which U (26) /U by the headland.
