Imagine a world without writing.Obviously there would be no books: no novels, no encyclopedias, no cookbooks, no textbooks, no telephone books, no scriptures, no diaries, no travel guides.There would be no ball-points, no typewriters, no computers, no Internet, no magazines, no movie credits, no shopping lists, no newspapers, no tax returns.But such__41__of objects almost miss the point.The world we live in has been indelibly marked by the written word,__42__by the technology of writing over thousands of years.Ancient kings proclaimed their authority and__43__their laws in writing.Scribes administered great empires by writing, their knowledge of recording and retrieving information essential to governing complex societies.Religious traditions were passed on through__44__, and spread to others, in writing.Scientific and technological progress was achieved and__ 45__through writing.Accounts in trade and commerce could be kept because of writing.Nearly every step of civilization has been mediated through writing.A world without writing would bear__46__resemblance to the one we now live in.Writing is a__47__necessity to the societies anthropologists call civilizations.A civilization is distinguished from other societies by the complexity of its social organization, by its construction of cities and large public buildings, and by the economic specialization of its members, many of whom are not__48__involved in food procurement or production.A

civilization, with its taxation and tribute systems, its trade and its public works, requires a__49__system of record keeping.And so the early civilizations of Egypt, China, and (probably) India all developed a system of writing.Only the Peruvian civilization of the Incas and their predecessors did not use writing but__50__invented a system of keeping records on knotted color-coded strings known as quipu.

(51~60/共10题)PART ⅤREADING COMPREHENSION

SECTION A MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS

In this section there are three passages followed by ten multiple-choice questions.For each multiple-choice question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

When I was twenty-seven years old, I was a mining-broker′s clerk in San Francisco, and an expert in all the details of stock traffic.I was alone in the world, and had nothing to depend upon but my wits and a clean reputation; but these were setting my feet in the road to eventual fortune, and I was content with the prospect.My time was my own after the afternoon board, Saturdays, and I was accustomed to putting it in on a little sail-boat on the bay.One day I ventured too far, and was carried out to sea.Just at nightfall, when hope was about gone, I was picked up by a small ship which was bound for London.It was a long and stormy voyage, and they made me work my passage without pay, as a common sailor.When I stepped ashore in London my clothes were ragged and shabby, and I had only a dollar in my pocket.This money fed and sheltered me twenty-four hours.During the next twenty-four I went without food and shelter.

About ten o′clock on the following morning, dirty and hungry, I was dragging myself along Portland Place, when a child that was passing, towed by a nurse-maid, tossed a big pear—minus one bite—into the gutter.I stopped, of course, and fastened my desiring eye on that muddy treasure.My mouth watered for it, my stomach craved it, my whole being begged for it.But every time I made a move to get it some passing eye detected my purpose, and of course I straightened up then, and looked indifferent and pretended that I hadn′t been thinking about the pear at

all.This same thing kept happening and happening, and I couldn′t get the pear.

I was just getting desperate enough to brave all the shame, and to seize it, when a window behind me was raised, and a gentleman spoke out of it, saying: "Step in here, please."

I was admitted by a man servant, and shown into a sumptuous room where a couple of elderly gentlemen were sitting.They sent away the servant, and made me sit down.They had just finished their breakfast, and the sight of the remains of it almost overpowered me.I could hardly keep my wits together in the presence of that food, but as I was not asked to sample it, I had to bear my trouble as best as I could.

Now, something had been happening there a little before, which I did not know anything about until a good many days afterwards, but I will tell you about it now.Those two old brothers had been having a pretty hot argument a couple of days before, and had ended by agreeing to decide it by a bet, which is the English way of settling everything.

You will remember that the Bank of England once issued two notes of a million pounds each, to be used for a special purpose connected with some public transaction with a foreign country.For some reason or other only one of these had been used and canceled; the other still lay in the vaults of the Bank.Well, the brothers chatting along, happened to get to wondering what might be the fate of a perfectly honest and intelligent stranger who should be turned adrift in London without a friend, and with no money but that million-pound bank-note, and no way to account for his being in possession of it.Brother A said he would starve to death; Brother B said he wouldn′t.Brother A said he couldn′t offer it at a bank or anywhere else, because he would be arrested on the spot.So they went on disputing till Brother B said he would bet twenty thousand pounds that the man would live thirty days, anyway, on that million, and keep out of jail, too.Brother A look him up.Brother B went down to the Bank and bought that note.Then he dictated a letter, which one of his clerks wrote out a beautiful round hand, and then the two brothers sat at the window a whole day watching for the right man to give it to.

I finally became the pick of them.

PASSAGE TWO

The concept of peace is a very important one in cultures all over the world.Think about how we greet people.In some languages, the phrases for greetings contain the word for peace.In some cultures we greet people by shaking hands or with another gesture to show that we are not carrying weapons—that we come in peace.And there are certain symbols which people in very different cultures recognize as representing peace.Let′s look at a few of them.

The dove

The dove has been a symbol of peace and innocence for thousands of years in many different cultures.In ancient Greek mythology it was a symbol of love and the renewal of life.In ancient Japan a dove carrying a sword symbolized the end of war.

There was a tradition in Europe that if a dove flew around a house where someone was dying then their soul would be at peace.And there are legends which say that the devil can turn himself into any bird except for a dove.In Christian art, the dove was used to symbolize the Holy Ghost and was often painted above Christ′s head.

But it was Pablo Picasso who made the dove a modem symbol of peace when he used it on a poster for the World Peace Congress in 1949.

The rainbow

The rainbow is another ancient and universal symbol, often representing the connection
