36、回答36-50題： Some Things We Know about Language Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some things we do know. First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. 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. Furthermore, 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 undeveloped, 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 or 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 supposed 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. That 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 is 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 change 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 languages. In the second paragraph the author thinks 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．a(chǎn)ny human race, whether backward or not, has a language D．some races on earth can communicate without language
37、 According to the author, people of undeveloped cultures can have languages.__________. A．complicated B．uncivilized C．primitive D．well-known
38、 The author has used American Indian languages as an example to show that they are__________. A．just as old as some well-known languages B．just as sophisticated as some well-known languages C．more developed than some well-known languages D．more complex than some well-known languages
39、 Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? A．A language is a means of expressing a particular culture. B．All languages can well express their respective cultures. C．American Indian languages are as sophisticated as English. D．Some languages are better than other languages.
40、 According to the author, language changes are most likely to occur in__________. A．grammar. B．pronunciation. C．vocabulary. D．intonation

David's firm releases two new games for the home computer market each month. But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money.

No matter what it is, whether it is films, food and fashion, music, casual sports or slang, it's soon at home elsewhere in the world. There are several theories why American popular culture has had this appeal. One theory is that it has been "advertised" and marketed through American films, popular music, and more recently, television. (46) They are, after all, in competition with those produced by other countries. Another theory, probably a more common one, is that Americhn popular culture is internationally associated with something called "the spirit of America. " (47) The final theory is less complex: American popular culture is popular because a lot of people in the world like it. Regardless of why it spread, American popular culture is usually quite rapidly adopted and then adapted in many .other countries. (48) "Happy Birthday to You," for instance, is such an everyday song that its source, its American copyright, so to speak, is not remembered. Black leather jackets worn by many heroes in American movies could be found, a generation later, on all those young men who wanted to make this manly-look their own. Two areas where this continuing process is most clearly seen are clothing and music. Some people can still remember a time when T-shirts, jogging clothes, tennis shoes, denim jackets,and blue jeans were not common daily wear everywhere. Only twenty years ago, it was possible to spot an American in Paris by his or her clothes. No longer so: those bring colors, checkered jackets and trousers, hats and socks which were once made fun of in cartoons are back again in Paris as the latest fashion.(49) The situation with American popular music is more complex because in the beginning,when it was still clearly American, it was often strongly resisted. Jazz was once thought to be a great danger to youth and their morals, and was actually outlawed in several countries. Today,while stills blowing its rather American roots, it has become so well established. Rock "n" roll and its variations, country & westem music, all have more or less similar histories. They were first resisted, often in America as well, as being "low-class," and then as "a danger to our nation's youth. " (50) And then the music became accepted and was extended and developed, and exported back to the U. S. A．As a result, its American origins and roots are often quickly forgotten. B．But this theory fails to explain why American films, music, and television programs are so popular in themselves. C．American in origin, informal clothing has become the world's first truly universal style. D．The BBC, for example, banned rock and roll until 1962. E.American food has become popular around the world too. F.This spirit is variously described as being young and free, optimistic and confident,informal and disrespectful. ________
