单选题{{B}}Task 3{{/B}}
Considered from the point of view of
vocabulary, there are few, if any, "pure" languages. Historically, English has
been well -known as a word borrower, but it is equally true that every Western
European language has supplemented(增补) its lexicon by adoptions from other
languages. In this respect then, English was like the other immigrant languages
brought to the New World, and in a broader sense, like every other language that
has ever existed. Loan words occur even in the languages of aboriginal peoples.
Even Indo- European, the hypothetical(假设的) parent of most of the languages found
in Europe today and many of those in western Asia, appears to have borrowed
words some 4000 years ago from Finno-Ugric, and to have furnished others in
return. In the same manner, American Indian languages soon picked up European
words like kabay for "horse," and the international European vocabulary soon had
words like canoe, tobacco, and hammock from the Indians. One
great impetus toward word borrowing arises from the necessity of talking about
new things, qualities, operations, concepts, and ideas. Inevitably the movement
of a people to a markedly different environment not only creates a problem of
communication but makes it an urgent requirement. Almost as soon as he struck
land, Columbus "seized by force several Indians on the first island in order
that they might learn from us, and in like manner tell us about those things in
these lands of which they themselves had knowledge; and the plan succeeded, for
in a short time we understood them and they did us, sometimes by gesture and
signs, sometimes by words; and it was a great advantage to us." None of the
early reporters tell us, however, the answer to the most interesting question
for language historians: What were those words (and gestures), and how did the
interlocutors(对话者) put them together?

单选题During the 1960s there was an unexpected revival of oral poetry in Britain. The live performance was seen as very important, not only for the poets, but also for their audiences. People didn' t only buy a book of poems, they also went along to see and hear their favorite poets read their own work. Many young poets enjoyed a very large following which was made up mainly of young people. Some poets became almost as famous as pop stars and Brian Patten was one of these. He is one of a group of three young poets who became very famous at that time. The other two were Roger McGough and Adrian Henri. All three of them came from Liverpool and together they became known as. of course, "the Liverpool Poets". Brian Patten's poetry is not "difficult" in the way that some modern poetry is. It can he enjoyed without a deep knowledge of other writers and other poets. But like all real poetry it needs to be read carefully in order to achieve the particular effect they want. For instance, in his poem "Ode on Celestial Music" Brian Patten wants to show the folly of trying to reject the world of physical beauty in favor of the world of pure ideas. He wants to show that such a rejection is ridiculous. One of the devices which the poet uses to achieve this effect is to make the speaker in the poem use colloquial language which contrast sharply with his lofty ideas.

单选题 Prices determine how resources are to be used. They
are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are
rationed (分配) among buyers. The price system of the United States is a complex
network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the
economy as well as those of a myriad of (大量，许多) services, including labor,
professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The
interrelationships of all these prices make up the system of prices. The price
of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of
prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything
else. If one were to ask a group of randomly selected
individuals to define "price", many would reply that price is an amount of money
paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words that
price is the money values of a product or service as agreed upon in the market
transaction. This definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a
complete under standing of a price in any particular transaction, much more than
the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should
be familiar with not only the money a mount, but with the amount and quality of
the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange
will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the
credit terms and{{U}} discounts {{/U}}that apply to the transaction, guarantees or
the product or service, delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In
other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that
comprise the total "package" being ex changed for the asked for amount of money
in order that they may evaluate a given price.

单选题There is one part of women's magazines that every man reads. It is the section popularly known as the "agony columns", where women and increasingly men, write for advice on their emotional problems. The person who answers these letters usually has a very reassuring name which suggests a gentle middleaged lady with a lot of wisdom and experience. At one time, it used to be widely believed that the letters were in fact all made up by someone on the editorial staff, and that the "Aunt Mary" who provided the answers was a fat man with a beard, who drank like a fish, smoked like a chimney, and was unfaithful to his wife into the bargain. Although this may be true in some cases, the majority of advice columns are genuine, and the advisory staff are highly-qualified people with a deep understanding of human problems. At one time, only the answers were published, not the letters themselves. Much of the fun in reading them lay in trying to work out what on earth the problem was that led to such peculiar answers. Nowadays everything is much more explicit, and questions of the most intimate kind are fully dealt with. As the agony columns have become more professional and more frank, a lot of the fun has gone out of them. This is undoubtedly a good thing, because there is something very bad about our tendency to laugh at the misfortunes of our fellow men.
