That would now
30、be out of the question without a full risk assessment.

38、 language are fused(熔合) with older and deeper functions so that only a small portion of our everyday speech can be described as purely informative. The ability to use language for strictly informative purposes was probably developed relatively late in the course of linguistic evolution. Long before
39、that time, our ancestral species probably made the sorts of cries animals to do express feelings of hunger, fear, loneliness, and the like. Gradually these noises seem to have become more differentiated, transforming the cries into language as we know it today.Although we have developed language in
40、which accurate reports may be given, we still use language as vocal equivalents of gestures such as crying in pain. When words are used as the vocal equivalents of expressive gestures, language is functioning in presymbolic(前符号的) ways. These presymbolic uses of language coexist with our symbolic sys
41、tem, so that the talking we do in everyday life is a thorough blending of symbolic and presymbolic language.What we call social conversation is mainly presymbolic in character. When we are at a large social gathering, for example, we all have to talk. It is typical of these conversations that, excep
42、t among very good friends, few of the remarks made have any informative value. We talk together about nothing at all and thereby establish a relationship.There is a principle at work in the selection of the subject matter we deem appropriate for social conversation. Since the purpose of this kind of
43、 talk is the establishment of communion, we are careful to select subjects about which agreement is immediately possible. With each new agreement, no matter how commonplace, the fear and suspicion of the stranger wear away, and the possibility of friendships emerges. When further conversation reveal
44、s that we have friends or political views of artistic values or hobbies in common, a friend is made, and genuine communication and cooperation can begin.1. According to the passage, which of the following is one of the older and deeper functions of language?A. It can narrow the gap among strange peo
45、ple.B. It can provide highly informative messages to people.C. It can allow people to express their emotions.D. It can bring together people with same interests.2. The word “differentiated” (Line 6, Para 1) probably means_.A. changeable B. defined C. functional D. communicated3. Which of the followi
46、ng can best define the term of “presymbolic language”?A. Language used among friends.B. Language that lacks an elaborate grammatical structure.C. Nonverbal expressions used in communication.D. Language that does not convey specific information.4. The primary value of presymbolic language for humans
47、is that _.A. it is common to all languages rather than unique to one language.B. it permits and aids he smooth functioning of interpersonal relationships.C. it helps us understand and express emotions.D. it allows for a desirable amount of social mobility.5. The most crucial difference between presy
48、mbolic and symbolic language lies in _.A. the origin and development path of each mode in linguistic evolutionB. the degree to which each mode may be accompanied by expressive gestures.C. the purposes served by each modeD. the clarity each mode makes possible大学英语教育管理团队 11 级本科 B 班四级辅导讲义（学生版）第 1-2 周6P
