2017年英语专业八级考试改错模拟测试 题及答案5 I think it is true to saying that, in general, language teachers (26) have paid little attention to the way sentences are used in combination to form stretches of disconnected discourse. They have tended to take (27) their cue from the grammarian and have concentrated to the teaching (28) of sentences as self-contained units. It is true that these are often represented in "contexts" and strung together in dialogues and (29) reading passages, but these are essentially setting to make the formal properties of the sentences stand out more clearly, properties which are then established in the learners brain(30) by means of practice drill and exercises. Basically, the language teaching unit is the (31)

The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation. All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become "better" people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don' t go. But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don' t fit the pattern are becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other' s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the intense competition for admission to graduate school. Other find no stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators. Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation of the students as a whole, and doesn' t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can' t absorb an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either. Some adventuresome educators and watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn' t make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—may it is just the other way around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to mount up. 1.According to the author, ___.

In our last lecture, I was talking about language as part of our semiotic system. 上次我们讲到，语言是符号系统的一部分。 And today I am going to move on to another topic, that is, the modes of language. 今天我们讲下一个话题，语言的模式。 As you may know, messages are transmitted in human language most frequently through two primary modes: speech and writing. 大家都知道，人类语言中的信息通常以两种基本模式传递：“说”和“写”。 Well, you know, there is also a third mode, which is not that frequently used as speech and writing. 当然，还有第三种模式，但不如“说”和“写”那么常用。 The third mode is called signing, which is used by deaf people. 第三种模式叫作手势语，听障者经常用这种方式。 But in today's lecture, we will just focus on speech and writing, and the specific features of these two modes. 但是今天，我们主要讲“说”和“写”，以及这两种模式的特点。 In linguistics, it is commonly noted that speech is primary and writing secondary. 语言学上普遍认为，先有“说”，才有“写”。 Linguistics take this position because all languages are spoken except those dead languages such as Latin, which is only existent in written form. 语言学有这样的观点，是因为世界上说什么语言的人都有，除了那些已经废弃的语言，比如只以书面形式继续存在着的拉丁语。 All children will naturally acquire the spoken version of a language if they are exposed to it. 直接接触一种语言的话，所有儿童都会自然习得这种语言的口语。
