Which of the following sentences is a COMMAND?

Our journey begins at the Seattle Center, built in 1962 as part of the Century 21 Exposition. Seattle Center houses numerous tourist attractions including the Pacific Science Center, Paul Allen's Experience Music Project and Key Arena, home of the Seattle Supersonics. Most visitors come to the Center for Seattle's most famous and most visible landmark, the Space Needle, and all will enjoy the ride on its glass elevators and the panoramic views from the observation deck. The Seattle Center is also at one end of the Monorail(also built for the 1962 World's Fair), and our tour continues with the 90-second 1. 3-mile ride from the Seattle Center to the Westlake Center(Fourth Avenue and Pine Street), a new and popular arcade for shoppers and strollers who can shop in the mall, visit the nearby department stores or sit outside and watch people amid Robert Maki's granite sculptures and waterfalls. When you've had your fill, head south on Pine Street to First Avenue to Seattle's historic multi-level Pike Place Market. Founded in 1907, it's the city's most popular destination with its famous fish merchants, farmer's market and seemingly endless abundance of shops and restaurants. Heading east on First Avenue, down the hill, stop by the Seattle Art Museum(First Avenue and University Street)with its aesthetically controversial Hammering Man sculpture outside. Just a few blocks on, you'll enter Pioneer Square(First Avenue and Jackson Street). The square was once a Native American village and with the white settlers it became a Wild West Main Street lined with brothels. It was also the center of a busy logging industry until the city was demolished in the Great Fire of 1889. The city was rebuilt on the ruins. The square has since survived lean financial times and is now very healthy both economically and culturally, hosting an eclectic mix of businesses and art galleries. Seattle has a thriving arts scene with highly regarded theater and music groups, museums and galleries. The arts tour follows roughly the same course as the walking tour. We begin in Seattle Center where the Opera House hosts Seattle Opera, one of the most acclaimed opera companies in the United States, known in particular for its internationally recognized interpretations of Wagner's Ring cycle. From Seattle Center stroll down the hill on Second Avenue to the newly constucted Benaroya Hall(Second Avenue and Union Street), which provides the Seattle Symphony with an excellent acoustic space. The Seattle Art Museum lies a block away on First Avenue, and theater buffs will seek out the nationally recognized A Contemporary Theater(ACT)a few blocks away at Seventh Avenue and Pine Street. As you continue down the hill toward Pioneer Square, you'll encounter the real hub of Seattle's art community in a thick concentration of galleries. A throng of galleries fills the area between First and Second Avenues on Occidental Avenue, most notably the Davidson Galleries and the Grove/ Thurston Gallery. Perhaps the best time to set out on this tour is the first Thursday of every month, when many galleries and the Seattle Art Museum stay open late, some even offering wine and cheese to those who stop to admire the art.

PASSAGE ONE
A. for B. vocabulary C. numerous D. endless E. gradually F. active G. rapidly H. surprisingly I. talked about J. result K referred to L. However M. although N. precise O. Similarly People thinking about the origin of language for the first time usually arrive at the conclusion that it developed【C1】______ as a system of grunts, hisses and cries and must have been a very simple affair in the beginning.【C2】______, when we observe the language behavior of what we regard as primitive cultures, we find it【C3】______ complicated. It was believed that an Eskimo must have at the tip of his tongue a vocabulary of more than 10,000 words so as to get along reasonably well, much larger than the【C4】______ vocabulary of an average businessman who speaks English. Moreover, these Eskimo words are far more highly inflected(词尾变化的)than those of any of the well-known European languages,【C5】______ a single noun can be spoken or written in several hundred different forms, each having a【C6】______ meaning different from that of any other. The forms of the verbs are even more【C7】______. The Eskimo language is, therefore, one of the most difficult in the world to learn, with the【C8】______ that almost no traders or explorers have even tried to learn it. Consequently, there has grown up, in communication between Eskimos and whites, a jargon similar to the pidgin English used in Old China, with a(n)【C9】______ of from 300 to 600 uninflected words. Most of them are derived from Eskimo but some are derived from English, Danish, Spanish, Hawaiian and other languages. It is this jargon that is usually【C10】______ by travelers as "the Eskimo language".
Read carefully the following excerpt on college promotion films and then write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 words, in which you should: summarize the main message of the excerpt, and then comment on the "good-lookings" in college promotion films. You should support yourself with information from the excerpt. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Promote College Quality, Not Vanity Many colleges are reportedly exploiting their most "beautiful" female students as an advertisement to attract students to enrol in their institutions. A college is an integral part of society; it is not different from other educational institutions. There's nothing wrong in launching enrolment campaigns on the Internet. But is it necessary to turn college admission into an entertainment show? Wouldn't that undermine a college's more important characteristics such as teaching quality, research facilities and campus culture? Some people presume that this is the best way to attract students to a college. But the question is: What do the students really want? The response of some students of Beijing Language and Culture University to this question can be surmised thus: I don't want to talk about beautiful girls and handsome boys on the campus all day long, because I enrol in a college to study not to enjoy a fashion show. Yale University released a 16-minute enrolment promotion film in 2012 to introduce Yale's colorful campus life. All those who took part in the promotion film were Yale students, teachers and non-teaching staff, and the film was appreciated by all. A promotion film of Peking University about its history and spirit in the same year, too, won public praise. The fact is that people care more about a college per se rather than its "beautiful" students.
