根据以下内容回答题:How men first learned to invent words is unknown;in other words,the ori

根据以下内容回答题:

How men first learned to invent words is unknown;in other words,the origin of language is a mystery.All we really know is that men,unlike animals,somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things,SO that they could communicate with each other;and that later they agreed upon certain signs,called letters,which could be combined to represent those sounds,and which coul d be written down.Those sounds,whether spoken,or written in letters we call words.

The power of words,then,lies in their combinationsmthe things they bring up before our minds.Words become filled with meaning for US by experience;and the longer we live,the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past;and the more we read and learn,the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts,but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings.This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style.Above all,the real poet is a master of words.He can con-vey his meaning in words which sing like music,and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore leam to choose our words carefully and use them accurately or they will make our speech silly and rude.

The origin of language__________ . 查看材料

A.is reflected in sounds and letters

B.is handed down from generation to generation

As late as l800.women’s only place was in the home.The idea of women in the business

world was unthinkable.N0“nice’’woman would dream of entering what was strictly a“man’s wodd”.Even if she could,what would she do?Men were positive that no woman could handle a job outside her home.This was such a widely accepted idea that when the famous Bronte sisters began writing books.in 1 846,they disguised themselves by signing their books with men’s names.

Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after l 800.But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men.Oberling College in Ohio was the first college in America to accept women.

Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Florence Nightingale became famous.Because she was a wealthy and cultured woman,as well as a nurse,people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be“ladies”.Miss Night-ingale opened England’s first training school for nurses in 1860.

The invention of the typewriter in 1 867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world.Because women had slender,quick fingers,they learned to operate typewriters quickly and well.Businessmen found that they had to hire women for this new kind of work.

By l 900,thousands of women were working at real,jobs in schools,hospitals,and officesin both England and America.Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers.The idea that“nice”women could work in the business world had been accepted.

The expression“he or she is like fish out of water”suggests__________ .

A.people away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new culture

B.a fish can not survive without water

根据以下内容回答题:

Traditionally.universities have carried out two main activities:research and teaching.Many expels would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the communi-ty.The fundamental question,however,is how does the community want or need to be served?

In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the govemments and the public to ensure that they do not remain…ivory towers”(象牙之塔)of study separated from the realities of everyday life.University teachers have been encouraged,and in some cases compelled,to provide more courses which produce graduates with the techni-cal skills required for the commercial use.If Aristotle wanted to work in university in the uk today,he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so rea.Dily employable as a philosopher.

A post.industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers,engineers,managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but“man”,as the Bible says,“does not live by bread alone.”Apart from requiring medical and social services,which do not directly contribute to economic growth,the society should also value and enjoy litera-ture.music and the arts.In these cost-conscious times,it has even been pointed out in justifi-cation for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners.A successful musical play,for instance,can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.

We can know from the first paragraph that the author__________ . 查看材料

A.believes traditional’universities have done a good job serving the community

B.believes it remains to be discussed how universities should meet the needs of society

C.thinks some experts require too much of universities

根据以下内容回答题:

One of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is,of course,the voice of the advertisers. It shouts at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers,waves to us from eVery page of the newspaper,signals to us from the roadside bill-boards all day and flashes messages to us in colored lights all night. Advertising has been among England’s biggest growth industries since the war.PerhaDs the reason is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer.At the stage of designing and developing a product,there is quite enough to think about without worrying over whether anybody will want to buy it.The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man.hours and machine telerances and stress fac-tors.so they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find eleven wavs of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it,by pretending that it offers status,or attracts、love,or signifies manliness. Other manufacturers find advertising saves them from changing their prodUCt.And manu.facturers hate change.The ideal product is one which goes on unchanged for ever.If,therefore,for one reason or another,some alteration seems calied for—how much better to change the image,the packet or the pitch made by the product,rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.

Which of the following can best describe the author‘s attitude toward modem advertising?

A.Interested.

B.Shocked.

C.Disapproving.

D.Approving.

The Millennium Dome was designed by Sir Richard Rogers,one of British’S most famous architects.His work points the way to new developments in buildin9.Think of it as a giant symbol of the buildings in which we will all be living and working in the near future.

Buildings are also a part of history.They express the culture of the times.Sir Richard Rogers is aware of this responsibility.While different designers have individual styles,their work also has a common style.That is:to express the values of the information age.

What is an“information age”building?The dome is a good example.After the Millennium exhibition ends,it will be used for another purpose.Just as people no longer have“jobs for life”,modem buildings are designed for a number of different use for another Richard Roger’s building,the Pompidous Center(蓬皮杜艺术中心)in paris,uses the idea that information is communication.Instead of being hidden in the walls,heating pipes and elevators are open to public view.The Pompidous Center is a very honest building.It tells you how it works.

A.of different building designing

B.of the finest things in Britain

C.of everything that can draw the attention of people

D.of recent developments in information technology
