From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of o

urselves and the world about us. When humans first【61】, they were like newborn children unable to use this【62】tool. Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human kinds future【63】and cultural growth increased.

Many linguists believe that evolution is【64】for our ability to produce and use language. They【65】that our highly evolve brain provides us【66】an innate language ability not found in lower【67】. Proponents of this innateness theory say that our【68】for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually,【69】a function of the growth of brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical【70】times for language development.

Current【71】of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable.【72】, more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in【73】grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being【74】to them, while adults have a much harder rime learning another language once the【75】of their first language have become firmly fixed.

【76】some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been【77】from other human beings don't possess language. This demonstrates that【78】with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some linguists that this is even more basic to human language【79】than any innate capabilities. These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior.【80】, children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child's language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.

Few Americans remain in one position or one place for a lifetime. We move from town to cit
y to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job else where, from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement. With each move we are forever making new friends, who become part of our new life at that time.

For many of us summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today millions of Americans vacation abroad, and they go not only to see new sights but also with the hope of meeting new people. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend, but the beginning of a friend ship is possible.

The word "friend" can be applied to a wide range of relationships--to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place, to a fellow worker, to a childhood playmate, to a man or woman, to a trusted confidant(知己).

Many Americans move from place to place for the following reasons except ______.

A.going to college

B.getting a better job

C.finding a place to live in retirement

D.saving money

Traditionally, the study of history has had fixed boundaries and focal points—periods, cou
ntries, dramatic events, and great leaders. It also has had clear and firm notions of scholar procedure: how one inquires into a historical problem, how one presents and documents one's findings, what constitutes admissible and adequate proof.

Anyone who has followed recent historical literature can testify to the revolution that is taking place in historical studies. The currently fashionable subjects come directly from the sociology catalog: childhood, work, leisure. The new subjects are accompanied by new methods. Where history once was primarily narrative, it is now entirely analytic. The old questions "What happened?" and "How did it happen?" have given way to the question "Why did it happen? Prominent among the methods used to answer the question "Why" is psychoanalysis, and its use has given rise to psychohistory.

Psychohistory does not merely use psychological explanations in historical contexts. Historians have always used such explanations when they were appropriate and when there was sufficient evidence for them. But this pragmatic use of psychology is not what psychohistorians intend. They are committed, not just to psychology in general, but to Freudian psychoanalysis. This commitment precludes a commitment to history as historians have always understood it. Psychohistory derives its "facts" not from history, the detailed records of events and their consequences, but from psychoanalysis of the individuals who made history, and deduces its theories not from this or that instance in their lives, but from a view of human nature that transcends history. It denies the basic criterion of historical evidence: that evidence be publicly accessible to, and therefore assessable by, all historians. And it violates the basic tenet of historical method: that historians be alert to the negative instances that would refute their theses. Psychohistorians, convinced of the absolute rightness of their own theories, are also convinced that theirs is the "deepest" explanation of any event that other explanations fall short of the truth.

Psychohistory is not content to violate the discipline of history (in the sense of the proper mode of studying and writing about the past); it also violates the past itself. It denies to the past an integrity and will of its own, in which people acted out of a variety of motives and in which events had a multiplicity of causes and effects. It imposes upon the present, thus robbing people and events of their individuality and of their complexity. Instead of respecting the particularity of the past, it assimilates all events, past and present, into single deterministic schema that is presumed to be true at all times and in all circumstances.

Which of the following best states the main point of the passage?______

A.The approach of psychohistorians to historical study is currently in vogue even though it lacks the rigor and verifiability of traditional historical method

B.Traditional historians can benefit from studying the techniques and findings ofpsychohistorians

C.Areas of sociological study such as childhood and work are of little interest to traditionalhistorians

D.History is composed of unique and nonrepeating events that must be individually analyzed on the basis of publicly verifiable evidence

Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)

I came to live here where I am now between Wounded Knee Creek and Grass Creek. Others came too, and we made there little gray houses of logs that you see, and they are square. It is a bad way to live, for there can be no power in a square.

You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle, and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles, and everything tries to be round. In the old days when we were a strong and happy people, all our power came to us from the sacred hoop of the nation, and so long as the hoop was unbroken, the people flourished. The flowering tree was the living center of the hoop, and the circle of the four quarters nourished it. The east gave peace and light, the south gave warmth, the west gave rain, and the north with its cold and mighty wind gave strength and endurance. This knowledge came to us from the outer world with our religion.

Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. The wind, in its greatest power, whirls. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form. a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Our tepees were round like the nests of birds, and these were always set in a circle, the nation's hoop, a nest of many nests, where the Great Spirit meant for us to hatch our children.

But the Wasichus have put us in these square boxes. Our power is gone and we are dying, for the power is not in us any more. You can look at our boys and see how it is with us. When we were living by the power of the circle in the way we should, boys were men at twelve or thirteen years of age. But now it takes them very much longer to mature.

From the passage, we can see that the Indians ______.

A.don't have modem facilities in their homes

B.are content to live where they are

C.are strongly dissatisfied with their present status

D.are demanding better housing conditions
