Passage 1.

This book is written in particular for students in an attempt to present the material that is most useful and interesting to them. Previous courses in chemistry are not necessary for the understanding of the material, although those students who have had high school chemistry will find that a review of the inorganic section will better enable tem to master the organic and biochemistry sections that follow.

The author has felt that in the past there was an improper selection of materials from inorganic, organic, and biochemistry in the majority of the textbooks of chemistry for nurses. The tendency has been to develop the inorganic chemistry to such an extent that organic and biochemistry are covered too briefly. The recent advances in biochemistry and their widespread application to the practice of medicine and nursing have considerably altered the situation. Not only is biochemistry more closely applied to the practical chemistry of medicine and nursing but it is also of more interest to students. In the author's experience the response to biochemistry has always been more favorable than to the other sections. Within the brief period allotted to chemistry, therefore, the sections on inorganic, organic, and biochemistry should be so arranged that a good share of the time is spent in the study of biochemistry. This book presents mainly those fundamentals of inorganic and organic chemistry that are necessary for the understanding of the section on biochemistry.

The fundamental points suggested in the Curriculum Guide are included in the book, with some additions in the biochemistry section. The author feels that a study of

urine, vitamins, nutrition, and hormone is so obviously a part of biochemistry that at least the fundamentals should be included in this course.

The book has been planned in such a way that it may be adapted to various courses in chemistry. The material suggested by the Curriculum Guide is covered in the first nineteen chapters and may be used in accelerated courses or where minimum time is allotted to chemistry. When the time allotted to the course is sixty to ninety hours the entire contents of the book may be used to advantage. While the book has been written especially to fit the needs of Schools of Nursing it could readily be applied in instances where students are required to take but one course in chemistry. The apathetic attitude of nonprofessional students toward a course in inorganic chemistry may well be overcome by the proper presentation of material selected from inorganic, organic and biochemistry.

41．This piece of writing is ______________.

A) a professor's advice to teachers

B) a preface to a course book

C) the record of an introductory speech

D) taken from a school announcement

42．It can be learned from the passage that ______________.

A)one needn't have studied chemistry before in order to use the book

B) a good mastery of knowledge of biochemistry is essential

C)one must first review his high school courses

D)previous courses in chemistry are necessary

43．According to the passage, what was characteristic of the majority of the textbooks of a similar course preceding this book?

A)They were of unreasonable simplicity.

B)They contained too many serious mistakes.

C)They attached too great importance to practical chemistry.

D)They laid excessive stress on inorganic chemistry

44．The author argues that students are more interested in biochemistry based on __________.

A)reference materials he consulted

B)the Curriculum Guide

C)his personal experience

D) a survey carried out in nursing schools

45．The dominant feature of the book discussed in the passage is ____________.

A)its simplicity in presentation

B)its thoroughness in experiment instructions

C)its adaptability to various needs

D)its vivid language

Passage 2

Some scraps of evidence lend support to those who hold a very high opinion of the average level of culture among Athenians of the great age. The funeral speech of Pericles is the most famous indication from Athenian literature that its level was indeed high. Pericles was, however, a politician, and he may have been flattering his audience. We know that thousands of Athenians spent lavishly hour after hour in the theater listening to the plays of the great Greek dramatists. These plays, especially the tragedies, are at a very high intellectual level throughout. There are no letdowns, no concessions to low tastes or to demands of "realism", such as the scene of the gravediggers in Hamlet. The music and dancing woven into these plays were almost certainly at an equally high level. Our opera--the restrained, difficult opera of the 18th century--is probably the best modern parallel. The comparison is no doubt dangerous, but can you conceive that almost the entire population of an American city (in suitable installments, of course) sitting through performances of Mozart' Don Giovanni or Gluck's Orpheus? Perhaps the Athenian masses went to these plays because of a lack of other amusements. They could at least understand something of what went on since the subjects were part of their folklore while for the American people, the subjects of grand opera are not part of their folklore.

46．The famous speech of Pericles well demonstrates ________________.

A)that the Athenian culture was on quite a high level

B)that the speaker was a distinguished politician

C)that Athenians loved listening to plays

D)that tragedies were preferred to comedies in the 18th century

47．.It can be inferred from the passage that the author's attitude towards Greek plays is one of _____________.

A) grudging admiration B) studied indifference

C) partial hostility D) qualified approval

48．The author seems to suggest that the average American people __________.

A) would rather enjoy the realistic drama than 18th music

B) do not understand grand opera as the Athenians did

C) seek a high intellectual level

D) treats folklore as a trivial part of their national literature

49．The reason why the Athenians went to plays a lot is probably that _________.

A)the music and dancing in the plays were considered perfect

B)the authority forced them to do so

C)few recreations were available in their times

D)they took opera-going as a fashion

50．. Which of the following statements is true?

A) Although staying stayed long in the theater, the Athenians did not appreciate

the high intellectual level drama.

B) Modern American opera is much more difficult for the audience classic than

Greek drama.

C) Many American citizens dislike the performances of Mozart's works.

D) The subjects of grand opera do not belong to the American tradition, which

accounts for the fact that they show little interest in it.

Passage 3

It may seem curious at a time when Amazon. com, the popular on-line bookshop, has a market value approximately that of New Zealand, but books as we know them are a dying breed. Indeed, there are unmistakable signs that text will no longer be the dominant means of information transmission by the end of the next century; it will be used mainly for instructional purposes and be accessible only to the technological elite.

Some people might consider it inconceivable that text will have mostly disappeared within the lifetime of any one alive today, but remember, the rate of change is accelerating. If the World Wide Web can go from an obscure and weird curiosity to the driving economic force of the development world in about five years, what will 50 or 70 or 100 years bring? We are not seeing profound changes yet; what can be seen today, if you know where to look, are indications around the edges of our experience. The pattern they form points clearly in one direction: the end of text.

Movable type as the tool of printing is already gone, replaced by the digital font. Ink on paper will be next, replaced by the electronic tablets. Already, commercial versions of the digital book are available: thin LCD panels with text stored in RAM. The Rocket eBook has a 4.5 by 3 screen; weigh about a pound and a half, and can store 4,000 pages of text and graphics. Today's typical novel can be downloaded in about three minutes from a transportable medium (like CD-ROM) or downloaded from a computer or the Internet. The "textport" will become the checkout desk of the virtual library of 2010.

Currently, the technology is clumsy (bulky batteries that last only four to nine hours), inelegant (the text is hard to read unless conditions are perfect), and expensive (about $50 for the eBook, plus $20 per book). However, all that will change very soon. By 2005, the bookpad will cost about 20, weigh no more than six ounces, reproduce text with greater clarity than ink-on-paper, and be able to store an encyclopedia (or 500 novels) on a single chip. Of particular appeal to an aging population, the type size will be variable--you'll make it as large as your eyesight requires.

But that's the short-term mechanical aspect. Over the long term, the printed work will vanish as a medium of expression. By 2070, the only people using text as literature (as opposed to information transmission) will be an elite and mostly elderly priesthood for whom it will be an secret and mysterious art form--sort of like the sonnet or haiku today.

51. Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?

A)B y the middle of the next century, texts will not exist at all.

B)Commercial versions of electronic books are being expected by today's elite.

C)In spite of some disadvantages now, great changes in e-Books are expected to

come soon.

D)I n the next century, text will be available to only the technological illiterates.

52. The author' purpose of mentioning the "World Wide Web" (Line 2-3, Para 2) is

to ________.

A)i llustrate the accelerating rate of change

B)explain the great importance of text in daily information transmission

C)inform readers what e-Books are

D)s how how expensive e-Books can be

53. Which of the following is the quality that will make the elderly be most attracted

by e-Books?

A)T he book-pad is cheap and can be easily carried about.

B)The type size is adjustable.

C)It's more illegible than the text.

D)I t can store various information in bulk.

54. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A)Today's libraries will be pulled down as they will be useless

B)The author, though curious, is uncertain about the development of technology

C)Amazon. Com gained successful marketing in New Zealand

D)In the future, people will mainly use e-Books for information transmission

55 Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

. A) The Oncoming Decline of Text

B) Advantages and Disadvantages of e-Books

C) Inconceivable Development of RAM and CD-ROM

D) Text: an Instructional Tool for Elites

Passage 4

I am going to mobilize public opinion sufficiently to bring to the very top of the nation’s conservation agenda the severely endangered species I have in mind. I think all I ask now, is that the mangel-wurzel（甜菜）be not allowed to die out.

The mangel has been a great friend to the traditional British farmer. It is the easiest of crops to grow and is seemingly resistant to any disease. There is a price to be paid in that it is a delicate crop that cannot be lifted by machine or it will be bruised and rot, so it has to be hauled by hand, which makes it expensive to grow. But why, just because it is a sensitive soul, should it be allowed to pass away? I have now grown five crops and each has been better than the previous one. I had high hopes that we might achieve that happy state, where the mangels were so huge it took two men to lift one. But my dreams lie shattered across the desks of the seed merchants who insist there is no mangel seed to be found.

Things have been on the decline for some years. A catalogue from the 1920s listed more than

30 varieties, yet mostly I have ever been offered a choice of two. This year there is no choice at all. The next question that arises is how I am going to let this known to the livestock, and to the cows in particular who have done spectacularly well when winter arrived and I stopped feeding them corn and gave them mangels instead. How can I bring myself, next New Year, to offer them miserable pellets（小团、丸）of something indescribable when they have spent the whole of the autumn looking forward to the day when their jaws will sink into that crisp, ruddy root and the sweet juices will flow?

The seed suppliers tell me things will be better next year but I am not certain I trust them. Our only hope now is to create a demand for mangels, make them into a fashion item, get them into Habitat. As a crop, they would be quite easy to grow in a garden, and although not the most attractive of border plants, they make wonderful wine, I am told.

This may all sound far-fetched, but the situation is serious and demands an urgent and imaginative response: any ideas you may have would be welcome. My Farmers Encyclopedia of 1912 tells me that mangel-wurzel means, roughly translated from German, ―root of scarcity‖. Let us hope that it does not live up to its name. 56．There is a severe shortage of the mangel-wurzel owing to __________ .

A)its strong resistance to diseases

B)high cost of manual labor involved in growing it

C)its sensitivity to the weather

D)a lack of seeds able to compete with garden plants

57．According to the passage, the only way to save the mangel is __________ .

A)to promote its popularity among British farmers

B)to get the cows to eat another type of crops

C)to rely on the seed suppliers

D)to introduce a new variety of it

58．The author writes with a purpose to __________ .

A) explain the origins of British farming

B) argue for the advantages of producing wine from the mangel

C) discourage the keeping of domestic cows that eat corn

D) appeal for the conservation of a crop species in danger of extinction 59．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A)The author sincerely hopes for a greater variety of the mangel.

B)The livestock have to take mangels in winter because no other crops are

available.

C)The seed merchants state that their supply may improve in the following year.

D)It is of great urgency that actions should be taken to save the mangel. 60．The last sentence ―let us hope it does not live up to its name‖ means m ost closely __________ .

A)let us hope that the mangel-wurzel has a better name

B)let us hope that God bless all those who are willing to grow the pellets

C)let us hope that the mangel-wurzel will flourish

D)let us produce more wine from other rare crops instead of the mangel Passage 5

In recent years, there has been an increasing awareness of the inadequacies of the judicial system in the United States. Costs are staggering both for the taxpayers and the litigants — and the litigants, or parties, have to wait sometimes many years before having their day in court. Many suggestions have been made concerning methods of bettering the situation, but as in most branches of government, changes come slowly.

One suggestion that has been made in order to maximize the efficiency of the system is to allow districts that have an overabundance of cases to borrow judges from other districts that do not suffer from such a heavy load. Another suggestion is to hold pretrial conferences, at which the judge meets with the litigants and their lawyers in order to narrow the issues, limit the witnesses, and provide for a more orderly trial. The theory behind pretrial conferences is that judges will spend less time on each case and parties will more readily settle before trial when they realize the adequacy of their claims and their opponents’ evidence. Unfortunately, at least one study has shown that such conferences actually take more judicial time than they save and rarely result in pretrial settlements. They give rise to higher damage settlements instead.

Many states have now established another method, small-claims courts, in which cases over small sums of money can be disposed of with considerable speed. Such proceedings cost the litigants almost nothing. In California, for example, the parties must appear before the judge without assistance of counsel or lawyers. The proceedings are quite informal and there is no pleading –the litigants need to make only a one-sentence statement of their claim. By going to this type of court, the plaintiff gives up any right to a jury trial and the right to appeal the decision.

In coming years, we can expect to see more and more innovations in the continuing efforts to remedy a situation which must be remedied if the citizens who have valid claims are going to be able to have their day in court.

61. Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?

A)While many problems exists with the court system, viable suggestions are

offered for improvement.

B)All states should follow California’s example to free judges for other work.

C)The legislature needs to formulate fewer laws to facilitate case proceedings.

D)Nobody seems to care to improve the efficiency of the judicial system. 62．The pretrial conference, in theory, is supposed to do all of the following EXCEPT _______________________.

A) to narrow the issues B) to increase settlement costs

C) to save judicial time D) to contribute to early settlements

63．The word ―litigants‖ in the passag e most nearly means __________ .

A) jury members B) parties involved in a lawsuit

C) judges borrowed from other states D) taxpayers interested in law

64．It can be learned from the passage that by going to small-claims courts, __________ .

A)one can have his case heard by a jury if he is dissatisfied with the court’s

decision

B)the litigants must plead accurately and follow a strict format

C)one may not appeal to a higher court

D)the parties can not present their cases without co unsel’s help

65．It can inferred from the last paragraph that __________ .

A)most people who found court decisions unjust can now have a ready remedy

B)the judicial system in the United States is highly praised for its efficiency

C)pretrial conferences may someday replace court trials completely

D)many people would like to bring a case to court, but are unable to because of

the cost and time required.

Passage 6

Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as ―silent‖, the film has never been, in the full sense of the word, silent. From the very beginning, music was regarded as an indispensable accompaniment. When the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the United States in February 1896, they were accompanied by piano improvisations on popular tunes. At first, the music played had no special relationship to the films; music of any kind would do. Within a very short time, however, it became apparent that playing lively music was not in harmony with a solemn film, and pianists began take some care in matching their pieces to the mood of the film.

As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist, would be added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed. For a number of years the selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra. Very

often the principal qualification for holding such a position was not skill or taste so mush as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces. Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown, the musical arrangement was normally prepared in the greatest hurry.

To help meet this difficulty, film-distributing companies started the practice of publishing suggestions for musical accompaniments, In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began issuing with their films such indications of mood as ―pleasant,‖ ―sad,‖ ―lively.‖ The suggestions b ecame more explicit, and so appeared the musical sheet, indicating mood, the titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where one piece led into another.

66. The passage mainly discusses music that was __________ .

A)performed before the showing of movies

B)recorded during film exhibitions

C)played during silent films

D)specifically composed for certain movie theaters

67．Earliest piano accompaniments were not ideal in that __________ .

A)they were greatly exaggerated in style and tune

B)they sounded in disagreement with the mood of the film

C)they were too profound to be appreciated by the audience

D)they seriously delayed the distribution of the film released

68．It can be inferred that orchestra conductors who worked in movie theaters needed to __________ .

A)be able to play many instruments

B)be able to compose original music

C)have pleasant voices

D)be familiar with a wide variety of music

69．According to the passage, what kind of business was the Edison Company?

A)It distributed films.

B)It published musical arrangements.

C)It made musical instruments.

D)It produced electricity.

70．Which of the following is most likely to have been included on a musical sheet of the early 1900’s?

A)―Piano, violin‖B) ―Key of C major‖

C)―Calm, peaceful‖D) ―Produced in 1914‖

Cloze 1

Throughout the history of music, there have always been those who resist the idea of discussing music or writing about it. These people feel that music speaks ___1___itself and that

it is impossible to describe musical events in words. Even in the nineteenth century, with all its artistic manifestos, arguments about the directions music should ____2____., and endless discussions of music’s ____3____.to depict stories or philosophical ideas, there were still those who ____4____. that writing about it was foolish. In our own day, many composers resist the ____5.____ of commentators to explain their music, preferring to let the music speak for them. Aside from having to produce a paper to ____6.____ the requirements of a class, why would someone go to the effort of crafting clear prose about music?

Sometimes the purpose of writing about music is clear and ____7._____.When one writes program notes,_____8.____, the goal is to help the audience understand the music better and thus increase their _____9.____ of the concert. Sometimes one writes about music in order to establish one’s credentials ____10.____ a knowledgeable musician, who will be more ____11.____ than those who may be able to play the notes, but who cannot say anything intelligent about the music beyond ―I like it,‖ or ―It’s hard to play.‖ .Further, one might write about a piece of music ____12.____demonstrate one’s analytic understanding of how the work is put together, ____13.____ gives it coherence, logic, and syntax. Finally, one might write about music .in order to ____14.____ the results of one’s historical or biographical research on a musical topic.

However, it may not always be easy to write ____15.____ about music. Even when music

accompanies a text, as in art song or opera, we find it ____16.____ to express exactly what the music ―says‖ beyond what the text says though we feel that a musical setting captures the feeling of the text with remarkable exactness. Besides the inherent difficulty of writing about music, there are extrinsic ____17.____that make it more difficult. There are many performers who seem to approach music simply as a challenge to their ____18.____, as if the only important music consisted of solos for their particular inst rument. Outside the world of musicians, society’s attitudes toward music affect us. Society ____19.____ music as comforting background, an atmosphere one creates for oneself. In this view, no one has any right to ____20.____anyone else’s musical taste. Like religion or politics, musical taste is regarded as a personal matter and a dangerous area to discuss.

2017年上海交通大学考博英语试题回忆

2017年上海交通大学博士入学测试英语试题回忆 阅读理解Passage One Rent control is the system whereby the local government tells building owners how much they can charge their tenants in rent. In the United States, rent controls date back to at least World War II. In 1943 the federal government imposed rent controls to help solve the problem of housing shortages during wartime. The federal program ended after the war, but in some locations, including New York City, controls continued. Under New York's controls, a landlord generally cannot raise rents on apartments as long as the tenants continue to renew their leases. In places such as Santa Monica, California, rent controls are more recent. They were spurred by the inflation of the 1970's, which, combined with California's rapid population growth, pushed housing prices, as well as rents, to record levels. In 1979 Santa Monica's municipal government ordered landlords to roll back their rents to the levels charged in 1978. Future rents could only go up by two-thirds as much as any increase in the overall price level. In any housing market, rental prices perform three functions: (1) promoting the efficient maintenance of existing housing and stimulating the construction of new housing, (2) allocating existing scarce housing among competing claimants, and (3) rationing use of existing housing by potential renters. One result of rent control is a decrease in the construction of new rental units. Rent controls have artificially depressed the most important long-term determinant of profitability —rents. Consider some examples. In a recent year in Dallas, Texas, with a 16 percent rental vacancy rate but no rent control laws, 11,000 new housing units were built. In the same year, in San Francisco, California, only 2,000 units were built. The major difference? San Francisco has only a 1.6 percent vacancy rate but stringent rent control laws. In New York City, except for government-subsidized construction, the only rental units being built are luxury units, which are exempt from controls. In Santa Monica, California, new apartments are not being constructed. New office rental space and commercial developments are, however. They are exempt from rent controls. 1. What does the passage mainly discuss? (A) The construction of apartments in the United States. (B) Causes and effects of rent control (C) The fluctuations of rental prices (D) The shortage of affordable housing in the United States. 2. Which of the following was NOT a reason for the introduction of rent controls in Santa Monica, California? (A) rapid population growth (B) inflation (C) economic conditions during wartime (D) record-high housing prices 3. It can be inferred that the purpose of rent control is to (A) protect tenants

2013年上海交大考博英语试题及部分答案

上海交大2013年考博英语试题及答案 第一篇 There are desert plants which survive the dry season in the form of inactive seeds. There are also desert insects which survive as inactive larvae (幼虫). In addition, difficult as it is to believe, there are desert fish which can survive through years of drought (干旱) in the form of inactive eggs. These are the shrimps (小虾) that live in the Mojave Desert, an intensely dry region in the south-west of the United States where shade temperatures of over 50C are often recorded. The eggs of the Mojave shrimps are the size and have the appearance of grains of sand. When sufficient spring rain falls to form a lake, once every two to five years, these eggs hatch (孵化). Then the water is soon filled with millions of tiny shrimps about a millimetre long which feed on tiny plant and animal organisms which also grow in the temporary desert lake. Within a week, the shrimps grow from their original 1 millimetre to a length of about 1.5 centimetres. Throughout the time that the shrimps are rapidly maturing, the water in the lake equally rapidly evaporates. Therefore, for the shrimps it is a race against time. By the twelfth day, however, when they are about 3 centimetre long, hundreds of tiny eggs form on the underbodies of the females. Usually by this time, all that remains of the lake is a large, muddy patch of wet soil. On the thirteenth day and the next, during the final hours of their brief lives, the shrimps lay their eggs in the mud. Then, having ensured that their species will survive, the shrimps die as the last of the water evaporates. If sufficient rain falls the next year to form another lake, the eggs hatch, and once again the shrimps pass rapidly through their cycle of growth, adulthood, egg-laying, and death. Some years there is insufficient rain to form a lake: in this case, the eggs will remain dormant for another years, or even longer if necessary. Very, very occasionally, perhaps twice in a hundred years, sufficient rain falls to form a deep lake that lasts a month or more. In this case, the species passes through two cycles of growth, egg-laying, and death. Thus, on such occasions, the species multiplies considerably, which further ensures its survival. 1.Which of the following is the MOST distinctive feature of Mojave shrimps? A) Their lives are brief. B) They feed on plant and animal organisms.

2015年考博 单选： 有少部分原题（出自曾建彬《研究生英语》《研究生高级英语》） 阅读理解： 第一篇：Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, most of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances, deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modern states "invest" in institutions of learning to get back "interest" in the form. of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, punctuated by textbooks—that purchasable wells of wisdom—what would civilization be like without its benefits? So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births—but our spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on "facts and figures" and more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and the capacity of a man is to get along with his fellow-citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form. of "college" imaginable. Among tribal people all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect every- body is equipped for life. It is the ideal condition of the "equal start" which only our most progressive forms of modern education try to regain. In primitive cultures the obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are no "illiterates"—if the term can be applied to peoples without a script—while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1876, and is still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was before we deemed it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the "happy few" during the past centuries. Education in the wilderness is not a matter of monetary means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry, which, in our society, often hampers the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever-present attention of his parents' and therefore the jungles and the savannahs know of no "juvenile delinquency". No necessity of making a living away from home results in neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to "buy" an education for his child.

上海交通大学英语专业考博语言学试题.doc

2009上海交通大学英语专业考博语言学试题 LTerms with examples 4x 10=40 1.Functional categories：Words which do not denote objects, ideas, etc., are known as function words and they belong to classes known as functional categories. For example, Bill thinks that Tom and Dick have been visiting Harriet to ask for help with one of the assignments which have to be finished for the next morph onolgy class ? 2.operator movement：Operator movement involves movement of an operator expression into the specifier position within CP. For instance, in sentence What languages can you speak, the phrase what languages is moved into the specifier position within CP. 3.Null subject parameter：Null-subject parameter determines whether finite verbs and auxiliaries do or dorf t license(i.e. allow) null subjects. For example, in Italian: Maria non vuole mangiare. "Maria does not want to eat." Non vuole mangiare. [She] "Does not want to eat." The subject "she” of the second sentence is only implied in Italian. English, on the other hand, requires an explicit subject in this sentence. 4.lexical tone：Lexical tone is the distinctive pitch level carried by the syllable of a word which is an essential feature of the meaning of that word. The pitch of voice is very important in language, and all Ianguages make use of it for some purpose? In some languages different words are distinguished from each other by means of pitch?Here are some Yoruba words The word ti with the mark' over the vowel is pronounced at a higher pitch than the word ti, which is in turn is pronounced at a higher pich than ti.These different pitches are call tones? Some languages distinguish only two levels of tone, while others distinguish up to four levels? When a language distinguishes words from each other using pitch in this way we say that it has lexical tone. 5.Onset, necleilS and coda：Words like bat, cat, rat, flat and sprat are said to rhyme, this is because they have identical pronunciations after the first consonant or consonant cluster. We can divide a syllable therefore into two halves, the Rhyme and the Onset. We have already referred to the vowel in the middle of the syllable as the Nucleus. The consontint or consonant cluster after the Nucleus will be called Coda? https://www.wendangku.net/doc/2810025522.html,plementizer：A complementizer is a conjunction which marks a complement clause. A complementizer, as used in linguistics (especially generative grammar), is a syntactic category (part of speech) roughly equivalent to the term subordinating conjunction in traditional grammar. For example, the word that is gen erally called a complementizer in English sentences like Mary believes that it is raining. The term
