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、 First Yuan Longping experimented with different types of rice. The results of his experiments were published in China in 1966. Then he began his search for a special type of rice plant. It had to be male. It had to be sterile. Finally, in 1970 a naturally sterile male rice plant was discovered. This was the breakthrough. Researchers were brought in from all over China to develop the new system. The research was supported by the government.
As a result of Yuan Longping's discoveries Chinese rice production rose by 47.5 percent in the 1990's. There were other advantages too. 50 thousand square kilometres of rice fields were converted to growing vegetables and other cash crops. Following this, Yuan Longping's rice was exported to other countries, such as Pakistan and the Philippines.
In Pakistan rice is the second most important crop after wheat and will be grown in many parts of the country. The new hybrid rice has been developed by the Yuan Longping Hightech Agricultural Company of China. Its yield is much greater than the yield of other types of rice grown in Pakistan.
【1】From “It had to be male. It had to be sterile.” we can learn .
A.Male rice plants are all sterile. B.Most male rice plants are not sterile.
C.Sterile rice plants are not male. D.Sterile rice plants are all male.
【2】The main idea of the second is .
A.Chinese rice production rose by 47.5 percent in the 1990's.
B.There were other advantages
C.Yuan Longping's rice was exported to other countries.
D.Yuan Longping's efforts gained great success.
【3】Yuan Longping is honored as _______.

28、 Why does cream go bad faster than butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical composition-a finding that could help break away from some chemicals. Cream and butter contain pretty much the same things, so why cream should go bad much faster has been a problem. Both are small globules (小球) of one liquid which spreads throughout another. The difference lies in what's in the globules and what's in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the research. In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water. In butter, globules of a watery roads are locked away in a sea of fat. The bacteria (细菌) which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery areas of the mixture. "This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture," he says, "when in butter, the bacteria are locked away in locked places buried deep in the sea of fat. Trapped in this way, those colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out. They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products." "In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing." says Brocklehurst. The researchers are already working with food companies eager to see if their products can be made to stand bacterial attack through changes of the food's structure.
Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make something used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter. The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid state.
【1】The significance of Brocklehurst's research is that __________.
A.it discovered small globules in both cream and butter
B.it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without using some chemicals
C.it showed the secret of how bacteria increase in cream and butter
D.it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition
【2】According to Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh by __________.
A.changing its structure B.killing the bacteria
C.reducing its water D.removing its fat
【3】The underlined word "colonies" in the first paragraph refers to __________.
A.tiny globules B.watery regions
C.the surrounding liquid D.bacteria society
【4】Commercial use of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made to stand bacterial attack _____.
A.by changing its chemical composition
B.by turning it into a solid lump (肿块)
C.while its liquid form remains
D.while keeping its structure unchanged
29、 Body language plays a big role in communication as it gives us messages about the other person that we can interpret non-verbally just based on our feeling. There are four types to be aware of.
Eye contact is one of the most direct and powerful facial expressions. The eyes are always talking. The use of eye contact varies significantly from culture to culture. In some regions, direct eye contact is often considered a sign of trustworthiness. So, if you're in America, you should know soft, attentive eye contact would convey honesty. However, a hard, unblinking stare will send a much different message, similar to the meaning of direct eye contact in some regions.
Gestures can be used to emphasize(强调)meaning. Pressing fingers together to form a steeple slows interest and determination. Touching the nose or rubbing eyes indicates discomfort. A hand to the back of the neck may indicate you are not interested in a conversation.
Body posture can be closed or open. A firm handshake will give the impression of honesty. Folding arms across your chest or body is protective. People with arms folded, legs crossed and bodies turned away reject messages. A head held straight up signals a neural attitude. A head sidewards indicates interest. A head down is negative.
The position of speakers and listeners: face-to-face, side-to-side, or back-to-back, can send powerful messages. In a group situation, when the leader faces the group and turns toward the one who is speaking, this conveys strong attention. When two people are communicating, competitors more possibly sit facing each other while cooperators sit side-by-side.
【1】Which of the following body language can mean or express honesty?
A.A head sidewards or touching the nose.
B.Attentive eye contact or a firm handshake.
C.A firm handshake or folding arms across one's chest.
D.Attentive eye contact or folding arms across one's chest
【2】What shows your discomfort in the conversation?
A.Touching the nose or rubbing eyes.
B.Folding arms across your chest or body.
C.Putting a hand to the back of the neck.
D.Pressing fingers together to form a steeple.
【3】Which of the following best explains "reject” underlined in Paragraph 4?
A.Feel down. B.Care for.
C.Turn down. D.Agree with.
【4】Which type of body language do the examples in Paragraph 5 belong to?
A.Facial expressions. B.Gestures.
C.Body posture. D.Space relationship.
【5】What does the text mainly talk about?
A.Types of body language. B.The origin of body language.
C.How to learn body language. D.How to use body language.
