24、 often lived hundreds or even thousands of years ago. Items those men, women, and children left behind when they died everything from clothing to jewelry and tools - tell anthropologists a lot. And sometimes even their words survive. Experts believe that a discovery in Mexico is the oldest example o
25、f writing ever found in the Americas. The people who created it probably lived 3,000 years ago, long before Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World. Workers digging in a rock mine happened to notice a stone block with marks carved onto its surface. They found the large piece of stone near the
26、city of Cascajal, Mexico, which was once the capital of an ancient people called the Olmec. There are signs on the block that seem to show objects used by the Olmec during their religious ceremonies, says Dr. Stephen Houston, of Brown University in the USA. There is a sign that looks very similar to
27、 a knife and another that looks like the chair of a King, he explains. Houston, an expert on the writing systems of ancient cultures, says the discovery is exciting because it makes clear that the Olmec could read and write. It is like hearing voices from the past. But experts dont know exactly what
28、 the writing says. Finding other examples of Olmec writing could help decipher the puzzle. We could have whole sets of ancient writing which will basically make ancient people speak to us directly, says Houston. There are many puzzles to be solved, and this is just one of them.51.

33、uageBTrevor Baylis the inventor has a swimming pool just inside his front door and a hot tub(盆)on the front. This energetic former stunt man(替身演员)with a training in structural engineering and a swimming-pool business heard some TV talk about the difficulty of sending out warnings of Aids in Africa b
34、ecause without power or batteries, radios were useless. So he invented a clockwork(发条)wind-up radio: turn round the handle for 60 seconds and you can hear the whole of The World At One and The Arches. He got mentioned in a BBC programme. There was a meeting with Nelson Mandela and an OBE from the Qu

40、 at him.60. “Out of the trees” in this passage means_.A. mad B. curious C. lonely D. enthusiastic CMany things about language are mystery, and many will always be so. But some things we do know.First, we know that all human beings have a language of some kind. There is no race of men anywhere on ear
41、th so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. 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 underdeveloped
42、, 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
43、 the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have guessed 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 ver
44、y 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. This is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the peo
45、ple who speak the language.Finally, we know that language changes. Its 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 changes
46、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.61. In the second paragraph the writer thinks about that _.A. some backward race doesnt have a language of its own.B. some race in history didnt
47、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.62. According to the writer, people of undeveloped cultures can have _ languages.A. complicated B. uncivilized C. primitive D. well-known63. The writer has
48、 used American Indian languages as an example to show that they are_ .A. just as fully developed as some well - known languages.B. more developed than some well -known languages.C. more complex than some well - known languages.D. just as old as some well - known languages.64. Which of the following
49、statements is INCORRECT?A. A language is a means of expressing a particular culture.B. American Indian languages are as developed as English.C. All languages can well express their own cultures.D. Some languages are better than other languages.65. According to the writer, language changes are most l

In my opinion, w
69、e cant leave todays work for tomorrow, because for different days we have different things to do. So if we fail to make up our mind to complete todays work and leave it for tomorrow, when well have some other work, well gradually pile up too many things and will never get them done. Still more, only
70、 the persons without determination and will-power will find all kinds of excuses for the things they should have done today. That John found excuses for leaving quitting smoking for tomorrow and couldnt make it in the passage is a good lesson for us. In addition, leaving todays work for tomorrow is
71、a bad habit, which will make for a persons laziness. Personally, as students, having a lot of things to learn and different homework of different subjects to do every day, we cant afford to waste time, so the earlier we plan our time and get down to the work, the better results we will get. In a word, if we have strong intention and great determination and do everything as planned, we will be able to keep improving ourselves and achieve success.共16页第16页
