People thinking about the origin of language for the first time usually arrive at the conclusion that it developed gradually as a system of grunts, hisses and cries and 【B1】______ a very simple affair【B2】______ . 【B3】______, when we observe the language behaviour of 【B4】______ we regard as primitive cultures, we find it 【B5】______ complicated. It was believed that an Eskimo must have at the tip of his tongue a vocabulary of more than 10,000 words 【B6】______ to get along reasonably well, much larger than the【B7】______ vocabulary of an average businessman who speaks English.
【B8】______ these Eskimo words are far more highly inflected than 【B9】______ of any of the well-known European languages, for a【B10】______noun can be spoken or written in【B11】______hundred different forms, each【B12】______a precise meaning different from【B13】______of any other. The forms of the verbs are even more【B14】______. The Eskimo language is,【B15】______one of the most difficult in the world to learn,【B16】______the result that almost no traders or explorers have【B17】______tried to learn it.【B18】______, there has grown up, in communication between Eskimos and whites, a jargon【B19】______to the pidgin English used in Old China, with a vocabulary of from 300 to 600 uninflected words. Most of them are derived from Eskimo but some are derived from English, Daish, Spanish, Hawaiian and other languages. It is this jargon that is usually【B20】______by travellers as "the Eskimo language".
【B7】
选项
A、active
B、passive
C、associative
D、decisive
答案
A
解析
考查语篇理解。本句话要表达的意思是“人们了解到,如果一个爱斯基摩人要与别人进行有效的交流,他必须拥有超过1万个单词的口语常用词汇量,这个数字远远大于一个讲英语的普通商人所拥有的积极词汇量”。理解了这句话并且知道“积极词汇量”即指用于“说”和“写”的词汇,和它对应的是“消极词汇”passive vocabulary,即用于“听”和“读”的词汇,就可以比较容易地选出正确答案。A.active“积极的,活跃的”符合文意。passive“被动的”;associative“结合的”;decisive“决定性的”,均不符题意,故排除。
