Ⅴ、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）

第一节：阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项（A，B,C，D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Anthropologists are scientists that study people who 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 of 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 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 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 don't know exactly what 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. According to the passage, what items do scientists often use to learn more about the past?

　　　A. Clothing and jewelry.　　　　　　　　　　 B. Books and stones.

　　　C. Knives and chairs.　　　　　　　　　　　  D. People and animals.

52. What is important about the stone block mentioned in the passage?

　　　A. It proves that people lived in this part of the world more than 3,000 years ago.

　　　B. It allows scientists to translate the ancient language used in this area.

　　　C. It is evidence of the oldest form of writing ever found in the Americas.

　　　D. It shows the people of the area have a written language.

53. Why are scientists interested in ancient languages?

　　　A. It can allow them to better understand ancient societies.

　　　B. So they can speak directly with ancient people.

　　　C. It will help learn about the origins of modern languages.

　　　D. They can learn stories told during that time.

54. Which is probably the best title for the passage?

　　  A. World's First Book

　　  B. Oldest Writing in the New World

　　  C. What Does It Say?

　　  D. New Language Discovered

55. The underlined expression "decipher the puzzle" (paragraph 6) most probably means

　　  A. discover when the Olmec people lived

　　  B. learn why the Olmec civilization disappeared

　　  C. learn how to speak Olmec

　　  D. find the meaning of the Olmec language

B

Trevor 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 because 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 Queen. There are his spots on radio and television.

 As a secondary school dropout from Hendon in London, however, he wants to do something to help all the inventors less lucky than him. He wants to set up an Academy of Invention.

They say, ‘You’re rather strange .’ Well, if being strange means you live in a house with an indoor swimming pool and a hot tub on the front, let’s be strange. People may think I am out of the trees, but to believe convention(惯例)is something that prevents answer. You may give a conventional person a problem, they’ll come up with a conventional answer. Conventional people can’t deal with the questions of unconvention .”

Many 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 earth 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, 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 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 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. This 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’s 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 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 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.

62. According to the writer, people of undeveloped cultures can have __________ languages.

A. complicated　　　 B. uncivilized　 　C. primitive　 D. well-known

63. The writer has 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 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 likely to appear in __________.

A. grammar　　　B. vocabulary　　 C. intonation　　D. pronunciation
