Language exists to communicate whatever it can communicate.

问答题
Language exists to communicate whatever it can communicate. Some things it communicates so badly that we never attempt to communicate them by words if any other medium is available. Those who think they are testing a boy’ s “elementary” command of English by asking him to describe in words how one ties one’ s tie or what a pair of scissors is like, are far astray. For precisely what language can hardly do at all, and never does well, is to inform us about complex physical shapes and movements

正确答案:
语言的存在就是用来表达它所能表达的一切。有些事情用语言表达效果太糟,所以如果有其他的媒介,我们从不用语言去表达。有人认为,让小孩用语言描述怎样系领带,或者描述一把剪刀的样子,就能测出他语言的“基本”水平,这种看法是完全错误的。语言做不到,也从来做不好的事,恰恰就是描述复杂的物体形状和动作。

第4题:

Animals other than humans have not developed communications comparable to human language. But is it possible that other animals have the capacity to learn a language if they are adequately taught? Obviously, this is a fascination notion. The idea of communicating directly with another species has long been a part of human folklore and children’s fantasies. But on a scientific level, the question of whether animals can learn a language is important primarily because it relates to the controversy()between the cognitive and the learning approaches to language. If language is dependent on and is actually an outgrowth of the intellectual structure of the human mind, there is the strong supposition that only humans are capable of using language. Therefore, Noam Chomsky and other psycholinguists have argued that only humans can learn a language, while most behaviorists feel that with sufficient patience it should be possible to teach an animal some sort of language. Although the two schools of thought clearly differ on this point, it is not really a crucial test of the two theories. If a chimpanzee can master a simple language all it would mean is that the chimp’s intellectual capacity and brain structure are more similar to ours than we thought. It would not necessarily imply that our intellectual structure is unimportant in our own mastery of language. Thus, teaching an animal language is an impressive demonstration of the power of learning techniques, but it is not evidence that language is developed entirely through learning.On the other hand, the question of whether other animals can learn a language is fascination in its own right, aside from its value as a test of the two theories of language development. Accordingly, whatever one’s position on the theoretical dispute, we must consider training an animal to use language a dramatic accomplishment.

A. The cognitive view of language learning says that only human beings can learn language because it is an outgrowth of the structure of the human mind.

D. Language is developed by learning.

A. language is actually an outgrowth of intellectual structure of the animal’s mind

第10题:

Spontaneous communication and free interaction are possible in any language only when teachers and their students have built up a warm, uninhibited, confident sympathetic relationship and when such a relationship also exists among the students themselves. In the first lessons no such state of affairs exists as yet. The teacher's efforts from the beginning should be devoted to building up such relationships through enjoyable, successful experiences in using interesting and amusing segments of language in a multiplicity of ways.


正确答案:自然交流和轻松的交流可能在任何语言下发生,前提是只有当老师们和他们的学生们建立一个温暖的、无拘束的、自信的表示赞同的关系。并且这种关系也同时存在于学生之中的时候。第一节课,这种条件还尚未存在,但从一开始,老师就应该通过愉快的成功的经验用各种各样的方法运用语言中有趣的和幽默的部分来致力于建设这样的关系。
