单选题
Some statements are incapable of being proved or disproved.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】解析：题干说：一些陈述是没有办法证实或证伪的。在原文的第4段考生可以读到“He made an enormous contribution to science by showing that the meaning of a scientific term lies in the operations，the things done，that establish its validity,rather than in verbal defini tions．”结合第5段的信息，我们可以发现作者提出了“操作性定义”这个重要概念， 如“Man is born free，but everywhere he is in chains!”这样的陈述是不能被证明的。因此， 本题的答案为True。
单选题
Meaning that is personal to individuals is less worthy to study than shared meanings.
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】解析：题干说：仅与个体相关的含义不值得像共同的含义那样去研究。根据顺序原则，在 第5、6段未能找到相关的论述，说明作者并未讨论此问题。因此，本题的答案为 Not Given。
单选题
Flags and words are eliciting responses of the same reason.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】解析：题干说：旗帜和言语通过同样的道理诱发反应。根据题干关键词“flags”定位原文 第7段“When we react to a flag，we are not reacting simply to a piece of cloth，but to the meaning with which it has been symbolically endowed．When we react to a word，we are not reacting to a set of sounds，but to the meaning with which that set of sounds has been symbolically endowed．”这句是说旗帜和言语通过同样的机制起作用。因此，本题的 答案为True。
单选题
A story can be entertaining without being understood.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】解析：题干说：一个故事没有被理解也能给人们带来娱乐。在原文的最后一段我们可以看 到“If I were to tell a shockingly obscene story in Arabic or Hindustani or Swahili before an audience that understood only English，no one would blush or be angry；the story would be neither shocking nor obscene—indeed，it would not even be a story．”这句是说如果不 能理解，故事也就不是故事，更不用说有娱乐效果了。因此，本题的答案为False。
