A. Human behavior B. Culture
attributes C. Physiology of Homo sapiens D.
Classification of Homo sapiens E. Human society
F. Structure of Homo sapiensHuman, common name given to any
individual of the species Homo sapiens and, by extension, to the entire species.
The term is also applied to certain species that were the evolutionary
forerunners of Homo sapiens. Scientists consider all living people members of a
single species.41.__________ Homo sapiens is identified, for
purposes of classification, as an animal with a backbone and segmented spinal
cord that suckles its young; that gestates its young with the aid of a placenta;
that is equipped with five-digited extremities, a collarbone, and a single pair
of mammary glands on the chest; and that has eyes at the front of the head,
stereoscopic vision, and a proportionately large brain. The species belongs to
the family Hominidae, the general characteristics of which are discussed
below. 42.__________ The details of skeletal
structure distinguishing Homo sapiens from the nearest primate relatives-the
gorilla, chimpanzee, and orangutan-stem largely from a very early adaptation to
a completely erect posture and a two-footed striding walk. The uniquely S-shaped
spinal column places the center of gravity of the human body directly over the
area of support provided by the feet, thus giving stability and balance in the
uptight position. Complete bipedalism in the human freed the
hand to become a supremely sensitive instrument for precise manipulation and
grasping. The most important structural detail in this refinement is the
elongated human thumb, which can rotate freely and is fully opposable to the
other fingers. The physiological requirements for speech were secondarily
established by erect posture, which positions the vocal cords for controlled
breathing, and by the skilled use of the hands. The latter development occurs in
association with the enlargement and specialization of a brain area that is a
prerequisite for refined control of the lips and tongue.
43.__________ The large brain of Homo sapiens is approximately
double that of early human toolmakers. This great increase in size in only 2
million years was achieved by a process called neoteny, which is the
prolongation of retention of immature characteristics. The juvenile stage of
brain and skull development is prolonged so that they grow for a longer period
of time in relation to the time required to reach sexual maturity. Unlike the
early human adult skull, with its sloping forehead and prominent jaw, the modem
human skull-with biologically insignificant variations-retains into maturity a
proportionately large size, in relation to the rest of the body, a high-rounded
dome, straight-planed face, and reduced jaw size, all closely resembling the
characteristics of the skull in the juvenile chimpanzee. Its enlarged dimensions
required adaptations for passage through the birth canal; consequently, the
human female pelvis widens at maturity, and the human infant is born
prematurely. 44.__________ The physiological
adaptations that made humans more flexible than other primates allowed for the
development of a wide range of abilities and an unparalleled versatility in
behavior. The brain's great size, complexity, and slow maturation, with neural
connections being added though at least the first 12 years of life, meant that
learned behavior could largely modify stereotyped, instinctive responses. New
environmental demands could be met by rapid adjustments rather than by slow
genetic selection; thus, survival in a wide range of habitats and under extreme
conditions eventually became possible without further species differentiation.
Each new infant, however, with relatively few innate traits yet with a vast
number of potential behaviors, must be taught to achieve its biological
potential as a human. 45.__________ The human
species has a unique capability for culture in the sense of conscious thinking
and planning, transmission of skills and systems of social relationships, and
creative modification of the environment. The integrated patterns of behavior
required for planning and fashioning tools were accomplished at least 2.5
million years ago, and some form of advanced code for vocal communication may
also have existed at this time. By 350, 000 years ago planned hunting, fire
making, and the wearing of clothing were well established, as was possibly
ritualized disposal of the dead. Evidence of religion, recorded events, and art
date from 30, 000 to 40, 000 years ago and imply advanced language and ethics
for the complex ordering of social groups required for such activities. From
about that time the genus Homo began to stabilize into the one generalized
species of Homo sapiens.

填空题Chinese-English Translation.(武汉理工大学2009研,考试科目:基础英语) 翻译中的所谓“异化”(alienation)和“归化”(domestication),是以译者所选的文化立场为基本点来加以区分的。前者主要以原语文化为门属,强调译文要有“异”于目的语,后者主要以目的语文化为门属,强调译文要同化于目的语。它们在翻译中的可信性取决于翻译的目的、读者的需求、文化间相互依赖的程度等,具有各自的价值和不可取代性。“异化”和“归化”的矛盾实际上就是我国翻译界长期以来的直译派与意译派之争,这一对概念有相互重叠的一面,如归化和意译都指译文通顺,符合译人语的语法规则等。异化和直译都追求与原作的“等值”(equivalent effect),尊重源语的语法规范。但归化和异化更加强调文化因素,它所涉及的主要是文化立场问题,直译、意译则侧重语言操作问题。随着国际文化交流的扩大和加深,翻译中的“异化”和“归化”处于相对的、动态的概念,无论是在理论探讨还是在翻译实践上,都将需要正视和探讨。

填空题{{B}}Directions: {{/B}}You are going to read a text about basic element in
both speaking and writing, followed by a list of examples and explanations.
Choose the best example or explanation from the list A-F for each numbered
subheading (41-45). There is one extra example which you do not need to use.
Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
There are many differences .between communicating in written
and spoken words—one to one or one to many. Because speaking is face to face and
personal, it is much more direct than writing.. Hand and body gestures, facial
expressions, and vocal variety help greatly to support face-to-face
communication. It is also reinforced by instant feedback from listeners in the
form of smiles, frowns, applause, catcalls, clenched fists, and so on. An alert
speaker who is sensitive to feedback can "shift gears" and adapt to changing
circumstances.41. The differences between talking and
writing Writing, however, depends solely on words and
punctuation to deliver the message. There are no gestures and no voice, and if
there is any feedback, it takes time to reach the writer.42. Why long
sentences can be used in writing? Effective talking is aimed at
people's minds and hearts through their ears, and ears prefer short, direct,
conversational sentences. There are three standards that apply
equally to talking and writing—clarity, accuracy, and appropriateness.43.
Clarity. If the audience doesn't understand the message
instantly, then the speaker has, to some extent, failed. Thus, every possible
measure must be taken to ensure that all your words and thoughts are perfectly
clear to the audience.44. Accuracy. As a conscientious
speaker, you must see to it that your information is as current and as accurate
as research can make it.45. Appropriateness. In addition to
being precise, your language should also be suitable to the subject, audience,
and occasion. [A] For instance, a speaker can vary
his/her pitch or tone to change the meaning expressed. A writer, on the other
hand, has to rely solely on the words and context or even explanations in braces
to achieve that. [B] Good talking is wordy, repetitive,
and far less structured than efficient writing. A good speech, reproduced word
for word on paper, usually does not read well because it rambles and repeats
words and thoughts. It is not nearly as disciplined and organized as good
writing. [C] Throughout your talk, words are your prime
means for helping your audience understand your message. And to harness the
profound power of words, you should develop a lifelong habit of using a
dictionary and a thesaurus. If you do not exploit these resources, you will fail
to achieve your full potential as a speaker and conversationalist. Another
device that will help you achieve clarity in your talk is a summary. If your
talk consists of three willresearched major points, lit those points in your
introduction so your audience will know at once what ground you will cover.
Discuss them in depth, summarize them at the end of your talk, and emphasize any
conclusions hat they lead to. [D] For example, a speaker
who's addressing a Parent-Teacher Association should avoid the statistical and
psychological jargon of advanced educational researchers. By the same token, she
should not indulge in teenage slang. Any speaker worth her salt will analyze her
audience first and adapt her language accordingly. [E]
The surest way for you to damage your credibility is to spew forth
misinformation or outdated information. How many times have you seen a story, a
name, an important fact, or a charge against someone retracted in newspapers?
Unfortunately, the damage was done when the misinformation first appeared in
print. Such unwarranted embarrassment and mental anguish could have been avoided
ff someone had taken the time to recheck the information. If your talk is
on a current or crucial topic, do your homework and arm yourself with quotations
and sources to fortify your facts. [F] Long, involved sentences
are acceptable in writing for two reasons: (1) The eye can absorb many more
words in an instant than the ear can hear. (2) If a reader stumbles on a
marathon sentence, she can read it again. Not so with spoken words— once uttered
they're gone, especially in speech. If a listener misses a sentence, both she
and the speaker have lost part of the message; there is no going back, except
perhaps during the question-and-answer period. In a conversation, of course, the
listener can ask the speaker to repeat.
