填空题{{B}}A Recent Erymology of the Word "Culture"“文化”一词的新词源{{/B}}
Look in an old dictionary—say, a pre-1960 Webster's—and you'll likely find
a definition of culture{{U}} (1) {{/U}}looks something like this: "1.The
cultivation of soil. 2.The raising, improvement, or development of some plant,
animal{{U}} (2) {{/U}}product. " This use of the word has its roots in
the ancient Latin word cultura, "cultivation" or "tending," and
{{U}}(3) {{/U}}entrance into the English language had begun by the year
1430. By the time the Webster's definition above was{{U}} (4) {{/U}},
another definition had begun to take precedence over the old Latin denotation;
culture was coming to mean "the training, {{U}}(5) {{/U}}, and
refinement of mind, tastes, and manners" (Oxford English Dictionary). The OED
traces this definition, which today we associate{{U}} (6) {{/U}}the
phrase "high culture," back as far as 1805; by the middle of the 20th century,
it was{{U}} (7) {{/U}}becoming the word's primary definition.
However, if you try a more modem source, like the American Heritage
English Dictionary, {{U}}(8) {{/U}}find a primary definition of culture
which is substantially different than either of the two given above: "The
totality{{U}} (9) {{/U}}socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts,
beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought. " Why
such a{{U}} (10) {{/U}}, and in such a (relatively) short period of
time? Well, in the past 40 years, the use of the{{U}} (11)
{{/U}}"culture" has been heavily influenced by the academic fields of
sociology and cultural anthropology. These fields have gradually brought{{U}}
(12) {{/U}} was once a minor definition of culture (the last of eight
definitions given in the old 1958 Webster's quoted{{U}} (13) {{/U}})
into the mainstream. It is easy to imagine how the US society
which was so focused on "socially transmitted {{U}}(14) {{/U}} patterns"
in the sixties would come to need a word to describe the object of its interest.
The civil{{U}} (15) {{/U}} movement during this era brought everyone's
attention to bear on cultural differences within US society, while the Vietnam

relation to other world cultures. Over time, these new uses{{U}}

{{/U}}. You might say that an aspect of US culture over the past 40 years is
its fascination with the{{U}} (19) {{/U}} of culture itself—a
fascination which has brought about many changes in the way we speak and the
