I. Cloze（每小题 1分，共 30 分）
Directions: Fill in the blanks with proper words (the first letter is given).
Every aspect of language is extremely complex. Yet very young (1) c_______
---before the age of five—already (2) k______ most of the intricate system we have
been calling the grammar of a (3) l_______. Before they can add 2+2, children are
conjoining sentences, asking (4) q_______, using appropriate pronouns, negating
sentences, forming relative clauses, and using the syntactic, phonological,
morphological, and semantic (5) r_______ of the grammar.
A normal human being can go (6) t_______ life without learning to read or (7)
w_______. Millions of people in the world today do. These same people (8) s_______
and understand a language, and they can (9) d_______ ideas as complex and abstract
(10) a_______ literate speakers can. Learning to speak and understand a language, and
(11) l_______ to read and write, are different. Similarly, millions (12) h_______ never
learn algebra or chemistry or how to (13) u_______ a computer. They must be taught
these skills or systems, but they do not have to be (14) t________ to walk or to talk. If
fact, “We are designed to walk…. That we are taught to walk is impossible. And pretty
much the (15) s_______ is true of language. (16) N_______ is taught language. In fact
you can’t prevent the child (17) f_______ learning it.”
The (18) s________ of the grammars of human languages has revealed a great
deal (19) a_______ language acquisition, about what a child does and does not do

when learning a language. First, it is obvious that children do not (20) l_______ a
language (21) b_______ storing all the words and all the (22) s_______ in some giant
mental dictionary. The list of (23) w_______ is finite, but no dictionary can hold all the
sentences, which are (24) i_______ in number. Rather, they learn to construct and
understand sentences, most of which they have never produced or (25) h_______
before.
Children must therefore (26) c_______ the rules that permit them to use their
language creatively. No one teaches (27) t_______ these rules. Their parents are no
(28) m_______ aware of the phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic
rules that are the children. Children seem to (29) act l_______ efficient linguists
equipped with a perfect theory of language, and they use this (30) t_______ to
construct the grammar of the language they hear.
II. Reading Comprehension (每小题 2分，共 60 分)
Directions: There are 6 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),
B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter
on the answer sheet.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
Pop stars today enjoy a style of living which was once the prerogative only of Royalty.
Wherever they go, people turn out in their thousands to greet them. The crowds go wild trying to
catch a brief glimpse of their smiling, colorfully dressed idols. The stars are transported in their
chauffeur driven Rolls-Royces, private helicopters or executive airplanes. They are surrounded by a
permanent entourage of managers, press agents and bodyguards. Photographs of them appear
regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported, for, like Royalty, pop stars are
news. If they enjoy many of the privileges of Royalty, they certainly share many of the
inconveniences as well. It is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public. They
must be constantly shielded from the adoring crowds which idolize them. They are no longer
private individuals, but public property. The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot
be calculated, for their rates of pay are astronomical.
And why not? Society has always rewarded its top entertainers lavishly. The great days of
Hollywood have become legendary: famous stars enjoyed fame, wealth and adulation on an
unprecedented scale. By today’s standards, the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite so
spectacular. A single gramophone record nowadays may earn much more in royalties than the films

of the past ever did. The competition for the title‘Top of the Pops’ is fierce, but the rewards are
truly colossal.
It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way. Don’t the top men in industry earn
enormous salaries for the services they perform to their companies and their countries? Pop stars
earn vast sums in foreign currency — often more than large industrial concerns — and the taxman
can only be grateful for their massive annual contributions to the exchequer. So who would
begrudge them their rewards?
It’s all very well for people in humdrum jobs to moan about the successes and rewards of
others. People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent
only the tip of the iceberg. For every famous star, there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a
living. A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right
to expect very high rewards. He has chosen security and peace of mind, so there will always be a
limit to what he can earn. But a man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks. He
knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top. He knows that years
of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure. But he knows, too, that the rewards
for success are very high indeed: they are the recompense for the huge risks involved and if he
achieves them, he has certainly earned them. That’s the essence of private enterprise.
1. The sentence “Pop stars’ style of living was once the prerogative only of Royalty” means
___________.
[A] their life was as luxurious as that of royalty
[B] they enjoy what once only belonged to the royalty
[C] they are rather rich
[D] their way of living was the same as that of the royalty
2. What is the author’s attitude toward top stars’ high income?
[A] Approval. [B] Disapproval. [C] Ironical. [D] Critical.
3. It can be inferred from the passage ___________.
[A] there exists fierce competition in climbing to the top
[B] people are blind in idolizing stars
[C] successful Pop stars give great entertainment
[D] the tax they have paid are great
4. What can we learn from the passage?
[A] Successful man should get high-income repayment.
[B] Pop stars made great contribution to a country.
[C] Pop stars can enjoy the life of royalty.
[D] Successful men represent the tip of the iceberg.
5. Which paragraph covers the main idea?
[A] The first. [B] The second. [C] The third. [D] The fourth.
