following passages and make your proper choices(1)Culture is the total sum of all the traditions，customs, beliefs，and ways of life of a given group of human beingsIn this sense，every group has a culture, however savage，undeveloped，or uncivilized it may seem to beTo the professional anthropologist，there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic rank or hierarchy among languagesPeople once thought of the languages of backward groups as savage，undeveloped forms of speech，consisting largely of grunts and groansWhile it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans，it is a fact established by the study of“backward”languages that no spoken tongue answers that description todayMost languages of uncivilized groups are，by our most severe standards，extremely complex，delicate，and ingenious pieces of machinery for the transfer of ideasThey fall behind our Western languages not in their sound pattern of grammatical structures，which usually are fully adequate for all language needs，but only in their vocabularies，which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakersEven in this department，however, two things are to be notedFirst，all languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion，either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own systemSecond，the objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in“backward”languages，while different from ours，are often surprisingly numerous and complicatedA Western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness(“this”and“that”)；some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed，or out of sight，or in the past，or in the futureThis study of language，in turn，casts a new light upon the claim of the anthropologists that all cultures are to be viewed independently, and without ideas of rank or hierarchy16According to the author, to the professional linguists，_Aall languages came from grunts and groansBall languages in the world are equal and independentCWestern cultures are better than Eastern culturesDthe superiority of one culture over another is difficult to explain17We can infer that the author is_Aa professional anthropologistBa linguist as well as an anthropologistCa language researcher from the WestDa language researcher on“backward culture”18The languages of backward groups fall behind those of the West in terms of the_AvocabulariesBhistory and cultureCmachinery for vocabulary expansionDsound patterns and grammatical structures19According to the article，some languages of American Indians are_Atoo undeveloped to be understoodBmore civilized than Western languagesCderived from their own remote systemDable to distinguish more degrees of remoteness20What is implied in this passage is that the study of languages_Ahas challenged anthropological studiesBhas reinforced the view of the anthropologistsCis the same as the study of anthropologyDhas contradicted the result of the study of anthropology(2)The Concorde，plane of the rich and famous，is also probably the worlds safestThe fireball outside Paris Tuesday was the supersonic jets first fatal accident ever in 24 years of regular operationAnd Air France officials said their current fleet was fit to fly safely until 2007Yet the plane had been having mishapslittle thingsIn October a piece of tail fell off in mid-flightLast January, within a span of 24 hours，two British Airways Concordes had to make emergency landings for technical reasonsone engine failure，one mysterious false alarmA few months ago，small cracks，said to be“microscopic”in size，were detected in all seven British Concordes，a British Airways spokeswoman said Monday；one of them was grounded because the cracks had gotten widerHas the Concorde hit old age ahead of schedule? Only 20 of the supersonic passenger jets were ever built，of which 13 are still in service，operated by British Airways and Air FranceThey were all built between 1975 and 1980Both companies hope to keep the planes flying for another 14 or 15 years，and in fact both have recently upped their estimate of the number of“cycles”roughly one transatlantic flightthe plane could stand，to 8,500By this calculation，the planes are cleared for takeoff until 2006 at leastThis view is supported by the fact that although its flights are high-stress and its takeoff and landing more labored than other planes，the Concorde makes only about a fifth of the trips more popularAfter the crash，Air France asserted，perhaps prematurely, that the crash was due not to any wing problem，like sneaking cracks，but to an exploding engineThat makes it the fastest investigation on recordThey have not grounded the fleet beyond a thorough maintenance check，which on these delicate birds，with their 30-year-old technology, will be expensiveBritish Airways says its Concordes gave the company prestige，shuttling the swells on their surprisingly cramped，1,336-mph passage at $10,000 a headTake a trip aboard and one must have been like joining an exclusive but rather cramped and uncomfortable clubBut part of its charmto the small number of people who flew itwas that it was superior to the other planes,saferFor the price of a ticket，you were buying a guaranteeIf British and French industry officials，who built the Concorde together in the 60s as a kind of supersonic dove，decide that feeling is gone forever with Tuesdays catastrophe，then its not hard to imagine that they will seriously consider retiring this distinctive，one-of-a-kind aircraft21The reason why the Concorde crashed is that_Aone engine failed Bits engine explodedCa piece of tail fell off Dthe cracks had gotten wider22Concordes are expected to fly _8,500 times in the coming 14 or 15 yearsAfrom Paris to London Bfrom London to New York CityCfrom Paris to New York City Dacross the Atlantic Ocean23British Airways has got prestige from its Concordes because _Ait is superior to other planesBit offers a safer though expensive flightCit provides cozy and comfortable seats aboardDit is the fastest planes in the world24The word“one-of-a-kind”in the last paragraph probably means“ _”Aunique Bcomplicated Cdelicate Dmodern25It can be seen that the writers attitude to the future of Concordes is _ Abiased Bobjective Coptimistic DpessimisticCloze：(115=15)Directions：Choose the one from the given A，B，C and D to complete the passage properlyThe Great Exhibition held in London in 1851 was probably the first show to be called a world fairSince then there have been 31 universal exhibitions and many cities 26 to have a world fairIn 1928 the International Bureau of Expositions was founded in Paris to co-ordinate these events and ensure that there is only one each yearThere are various and interlinked objectives 27 holding a world fairThe stated objectives include encouraging trade，increasing the visibility of a city and country, developing tourism， 28 economic development and increasing employment，stimulating the re-use of land and 29 improvements，the celebration of a past event，and the entertainment of the masses， 30 the often unstated one of obtaining 31 funds from the higher levels of governmentThe 32 motive for holding a world fair is to 33 the city ,but as well as selling the city ,there is also the selling of ideasMost expos are linked in some way to the notion of the progress of civilization or modernityNot 34 ，Expo 92 in Seville，Spain，had the 35 of discoveryOther themes include education and international understandingThe 36 city usually prepares a special site for the event 37 new buildings and structures of hoped-for architectural distinction and image changing ability are erectedEarly examples 38 Londons Crystal Palace and Pariss Eiffel Tower and a more recent one is Seattles Space NeedleThese structures will remain a 39 legacy to the area,as will any general infrastructure put in placeThe fair itself usually contains exhibitions of both arts and manufactures，with pavilions 40 also by foreign nationsWorld fairs usually last between five and seven months，but sometimes they last for a whole year26Asought Bhave sought Cseek Dhas sought27Aabout Bat Cof
