25、p to consider how it actually works. When we do study our language, though, we are often surprised that we are able to understand our conversations. Words can mean so many different things. However, it turns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work.First, the speaking situ
26、ation helps make words more particular. For example, the word dog can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a dream. It can also be used to discuss a neighbors dog. No language has a separate word for the idea dog that I saw yesterday and another word for the idea dog that I saw in a dream. This is b
27、ecause the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words. So, when you have a conversation with your neighbor, the knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word dog probably means in that situation.The speaking situation also helps make language clearer.
28、For example, the word bank has two possible meanings. It can mean a place where people keep money, but it can also mean the side of a river. So the sentence I went to the bank. Is not clear. It could mean I went to the side of the river or it could mean I went to the place where my money is kept. Ho
29、wever, if the speaker is talking about fishing or going to the mountains, others probably know that bank means the side of a river.The things that speakers say may not always be clear. Sometimes the words are not very particular, but the speaking situation can provide the meaning. Other times words
30、may have many meanings. Then the speaking situation limits the right meaning. This extra knowledge from the situation is very important to understand language.8. The passage is mainly about _.A. the best time and place to talk to othersB. how the speaking situation helps language workC. what to say
31、in difficult situationsD. how our language works9. According to the passage, we can safely say that _.A. the speaking situation does not affect the meaning of wordsB. speaking is not very natural for most peopleC. the speaking situation is not importantD. people often do not consider how talking wor
32、ks10. By using the example of the word dog, the writer wants to show that _.A. a word may need to be explained in a conversationB. a word may have different meaningsC. the speaking situation helps people understand the particular meaning of a wordD. the meaning of words is not particular11. Accordin
33、g to the passage, we can know the meaning of the word bank, by referring to _.A. the attitude of the speakers in the conversationB. the occupation of the person who uses the wordC. earlier or later parts of the conversationD. a reliable dictionaryDGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remem
34、ber something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as
35、 his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have
36、learned something, additional learning experiences increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such a
37、s “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表) are an exception to the general rule that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we o
38、verlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to
39、forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for ones future development.12. Whats the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. Stories for children are easy to remember.B. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn wo
40、rds.D. People remember well what they learned in childhood.13. The author explains the law of overlearning by _.A. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. using examplesD. making a comparison14. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables is _.A. a result of
41、overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies15. What is the authors opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. Its helpful only in a limited way.C. Its possible to result in poor memory.D. It increases stud

43、d surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work?The reason why any of us take any risks al all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. _17_ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one gener
44、ation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why arent we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, human
45、s developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. _18_No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. _19_ To help you do that, your brain incr
46、eases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well._20_ For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.As
47、experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, well continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool. A. It all depends on your character.B. Those are the risks you should jump to take.C. Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D. Thus, these we

However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G. New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face

93、r language works. Talking is such a natural, everyday activity that we do not often stop to consider how it actually works. When we do study our language, though, we are often surprised that we are able to understand our conversations. Words can mean so many different things. However, it turns out t
94、hat the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work.First, the speaking situation helps make words more particular. For example, the word dog can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a dream. It can also be used to discuss a neighbors dog. No language has a separate word for the idea dog
95、that I saw yesterday and another word for the idea dog that I saw in a dream. This is because the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words. So, when you have a conversation with your neighbor, the knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word dog pro
96、bably means in that situation.The speaking situation also helps make language clearer. For example, the word bank has two possible meanings. It can mean a place where people keep money, but it can also mean the side of a river. So the sentence I went to the bank. Is not clear. It could mean I went t
97、o the side of the river or it could mean I went to the place where my money is kept. However, if the speaker is talking about fishing or going to the mountains, others probably know that bank means the side of a river.The things that speakers say may not always be clear. Sometimes the words are not
98、very particular, but the speaking situation can provide the meaning. Other times words may have many meanings. Then the speaking situation limits the right meaning. This extra knowledge from the situation is very important to understand language.8. The passage is mainly about _.A. the best time and
99、place to talk to othersB. how the speaking situation helps language workC. what to say in difficult situationsD. how our language works9. According to the passage, we can safely say that _.A. the speaking situation does not affect the meaning of wordsB. speaking is not very natural for most peopleC.
100、 the speaking situation is not importantD. people often do not consider how talking works10. By using the example of the word dog, the writer wants to show that _.A. a word may need to be explained in a conversationB. a word may have different meaningsC. the speaking situation helps people understan

105、 playing baseball long after we have learned them.
