6、Thelanguagesofuncivilizedgroupsascomparedtowesternlanguagesarelimited

in.

A^soundpatterns

B、grammaticalstructures

C、vocabulary

D、bothBandC

標準答案：C

知識點解析：由第三段中間一句："Theyfallbehindourwesternlanguagesnot

in...butintheirvocabularies…”可知,未開化的部落的語言跟西方語言相比，其真正

落后的一面不是在發音方式或語法結構上，而是在詞匯方面。因此C為正確答

案。

復存在。故選A。

8、Accordingtotheauthor,languages,whethercivilizedornot,have.

ANthepotentialforexpandingvocabulary

D、thereisnohierarchyoflanguages

標準答案：D

知識點解析:從第二段的后半句：”…justastotheprofessionallinguistthereisno

故選D。

10、Whichofthefollowingisimpliedinthepassage?

A^Thestudyoflanguageshasdiscreditedanthropologicalstudies.

B、Thestudyoflanguageshasreinforcedanthropologistsintheirviewthatthereisno

hierarchyamongcultures.

C^Thestudyoflanguagesisthesameasthestudyofanthropologists.

D、Thestudyoflanguagescastsanewlightupontheclaimofanthropologists.

標準答案：B

知識點解析：通讀全文尤其是最后一段：”…allcuhuresaretobeviewed

independently,andwithoutideasofrankorhierarchy''可知，文章主要是為了闡明語

言學家對語言沒有等級之分的研究，其目的是為了進一步闡述人類學家的觀點，即

不同文化之間無等級之分。因此正確答案為B。

(Romanticist)oC項正合題意。

12、Goethe5sworkshov/salackof.

C^youthfulattitude

D^simplicityoflanguage

標準答案：D

知識點解析：根據第二段對浪漫主義詩歌特點的描述可知，D項中“語言的簡潔”沒

有被提及，因此D為正確答案。A項中“對自然的興趣”，B項中“觀點的現代性”，

C項中“年輕的精神”均在文章中提到。

14、Goetheiscalledthepoetofthemodernmanbecause.

A、hedevelopedhisfaith

helivedlongerthanShelleyandKeats

C^hepresentsmanytwentieth-centuryideas

D^hisworkhasseriousflaws

標準答案：C

知識點解析：原文第二段倒數第二句：”...sincesomanytwentiethcenturythoughts

andattitudesaresimilarlybasedonthestimulus.Romantic：Movement,Gotte

Stands,asparticularlythemodernman...”,因為二十世紀的思想和態度是建立在以

C、shouldbecalledaclassicist

D、wasillogical

標準答案：A

知識點解析：根據文章最后內容可推斷，很多現代的思想觀點都是在以歌德為代表

思想的產生。因此A為正確答案。
