26、Speaking, writing and reading are necessary to everyday life, where language is the major tool for expression and communication. Studying how people use language — what words they unconsciously choose and combine — can help us better understand ourselves and why we behave the way we do.

Linguists (语言学家) try to determine what is unique and universal about the language we use, how it is learned and the ways it changes over time. They consider language as a cultural, social and psychological phenomenon.

“Understanding why and how languages differ tells us about the range of what is human,”said Dan Jurafsky, chair of the Department of Linguistics at Stanford.

Stanford linguists and psychologists study how language is interpreted (理解) by people. Even the slightest differences in language use may show the biased (有偏见的) beliefs of the speakers, according to research.

For example, a relatively harmless sentence, such as“girls are as good as boys at math,” because of the statement’s grammatical structure (结构), suggests that being good at math is more common or natural for boys than girls, the researchers said. Language can play a big role in how we and others see the world, and linguists work to discover how words and phrases can influence us, unknowingly.

People speak about 7,000 languages worldwide. Although there is a lot in common among languages, each one is unique. Jurafsky said it’s important to study languages other than our own and how they develop over time because it can help linguists understand what lies at the foundation of humans' unique way of communicating with one another.

Linguists analyze how certain speech patterns influence particular behaviors, including how language can influence people’s buying decisions. Jurafsky said. “Understanding what different groups of people say and why is the first step in determining how we can help bring people together.”

【1】What does the example mentioned in Paragraph 5 show?

A．Misunderstanding is common in daily life.

B．People should avoid using harmful sentences.

C．Speech patterns can show people’s biased beliefs.

D．Some grammatical structures are difficult to understand.

【2】What does Jurafsky suggest in Paragraph 6?

A．Researching languages.

B．Learning from linguists.

C．Developing good learning habits.

D．Communicating with others frequently.

【3】What is the main purpose of the text?

A．To show the power of language.

B．To give an introduction to Jurafsky.

C．To teach readers how to learn a language.

D．To call on readers to learn more languages.

27、   This isn't just a social expectation.One study found that women cry greatly more than men do-five times as often,on average,and almost twice as long each time.So it's perhaps surprising to learn that the sex gap in crying seems to be a recent development.Historically,men regularly cried,and no one saw it as shameful.For example,in the early stories,men cried purely because they missed their girlfriends.There's n mention of the men in these stories pretending(假装)1o have.something in their eyes or making an excuse to leave the room.Instead,they cried in a crowded hall with their heads held high and nobody made fin of them.

So where did all the male tears go?There was no anti-crying movement.No leaders of church or state discouraged them.Possibly this change took place as we moved to an industrial society.In the Middle Ages,most people spent their lives among those they had known since birth.Most of them related by blood or marriage.If men cried,they did so with people who would feel and understand the same way.But from the 18th to 20th centuries,people were living among thousands of strangers.Furthermore,changes in the economy required men to work in factories or offices where emotional expression was discouraged as time wasting.

Yet there's reason to believe that holding back tears can be harmful to your well-being.Research has suggested a relationship between stress-related illnesses and inadequate(不足的)crying.Men holding back tears are less likely than women to get help when they’re suffering from unhappiness,which,in turn,results in higher self-killing rates as well as higher rates of alcoholism(酗酒)and drug addiction.

It's time to open the floodgates.When bad luck strikes,let us all,men and women,join together and cry until our sleeves are wet through.

【1】What can we say about the men crying in the early stories?

A.It was surprising. B.It was natural.

C.It was a secret. D.It was an excuse.

【2】The underlined word“they”in Paragraph 2 most probably refers to___.

A.church leaders B.strangers

C.distant relatives D.familiar people

【3】What might lead to alcoholism according to the text?

A.Ordinary illnesses. B.Helpless situations.

C.Enough crying. D.Drug addition.

【4】What does the author seem to suggest men do?

A.Hold back tears. B.Follow bad luck.

C.Cry uncontrollably. D.Cry in a low voice.

28、Recently, a case of lifeboat ethics occurred. On Aug. 4, Graham and Sheryl Anley, while boating off the coast of South Africa, hit a rock. As the boat threatened to sink, the husband got off, but his wife was trapped in the boat. Instead of freeing his wife and getting her to shore, Graham grabbed Rosie, their pet dog. With Rosie safe and sound, Graham returned for Sheryl. All are doing fine.

It’s great story, but it doesn’t strike me as especially newsworthy. News is supposed to be about something fairly unique, and recent research suggests that, in the right circumstances, lots of people also would have grabbed their Rosie first.

We have strange relationships with our pets. We look after our pets with great love and better health care than billions of people receive. We speak to pets with the same high-pitched voices that we use for babies.As an extreme example of our feelings about pets, the Nazis had strict laws that guaranteed the kind treatment of the pets of Jews being shipped to death camps.

A recent paper by George Regents University demonstrates this human involvement with pets to an astonishing extent. Participants in the study were told a situation in which a bus is out o control, bearing down on a dog and a human. Which do you save? With responses from more than 500 people, the answer was that it depended: What kind of human and what kind of dog?

Everyone would save a brother, grandparent or close friend rather than a strange dog. But when people considered their own dog VS people less connected with them -- a distant cousin or a hometown stranger -- votes a favor of saving the dog came rolling in. And an astonishing 40% of respondents, including 46% of women, voted to save their dog over a foreign tourist.

What does a finding like this mean? First, it is that your odds aren’t so good if you find yourself in another country with a bus bearing down on you and a cute dog. But it also points to something deeper: our unprecedented attitude toward animals, which got its start with the birth of kind - hearted societies in the 19th century.

We prison people who abuse animals, put ourselves in harm’s way in boats between whales an whalers and show sympathy to Bambi and his mother. We can extend sympathy to an animal and feel its pain like no other species. But let’s not be too proud of ourselves. As this study and too much of our history show, we’re pretty selective about how we extend our kindness to other human beings.

【1】Which of the following is true according to the article?

A．The story of the Anleys and their dog was too unique to be newsworthy.

B．Most people surveyed choose to save their own dog rather than a human.

C．It wa in the 19th century that human beings started to love their pets.

D．Human beings are more and more concerned with animals nowadays.

【2】What is the function of the first of paragraph?

A．To create a relaxing mood for readers.

B．To present the theme of this essay straightly.

C．To lead in the main topic of this essay.

D．To raise problems that will be solved later.

【3】The author mentions Nazi laws in the third paragraph ________.

A．to show how cruel the Nazis’ were to the Jews

B．as an example to persuade people not to love pets

C．to illustrate the strange relationship between human and pets

D．as an example to display the kindness of the Nazis

【4】What does the author mainly argue for?

A．Pets are of great significance to us human beings.

B．We should rethink about out attitude towards animals and mankind.

C．It is kind of human beings to extend kindness to animals.

D．We should be selective when showing attitude toward other human beings.

29、   An average but an extraordinary charitian, Matel Dawson gave away $ 1.3 million to charity over his lifetime.

Born the fifth of seven children in 1921 , Matel Dawson learned the value of hard work at a young age. He left school in the ninth grade to help support his family. By the time he was eighteen, Dawson had moved to Detroit in search of a better job. In those days, the North held better prospects for an African American man.
