Many foreigners who have not visited Britain call all the inhabitants English，for they are used to thinking of the British Isles as England. 31，the British Isles contain a variety of peoples，and only the people of England call themselves English. The others 32 to themselves as Welsh，Scottis h，or Irish，33 the case may be；they are often slightly annoyed 34 being classified as “English”。

Even in England there are many 35 in regional character and speech. The chief 36 is between s outhern England and northern England. South of a 37 going from Bristol to London，people speak t he type of English usually learnt by foreign students，38 there are local variations. Further north re gional speech is usually “39”than that of southern Britain. Northerners are40 to claim that they wor k harder than Southerners，and are more 41. They are open-hearted and hospitable；foreigners ofte n find that they make friends with them 42. Northerners generally have hearty 43：the visitor to La

In accent and character the people of the Midlands 45 a gradual change from the southern to the north ern type of Englishman. In Scotland the sound 46 by the letter “R” is generally a strong sound，an d “R” is often pronounced in words in which it would be 47 in southern English.

The first two stages in the development of civilized man were probably the invention of primiti ve weapons and the discovery of fire, although nobody knows exactly when he acquired the use of t he latter.
51)______________________ Animals have a few cries that serve as signals, but even the highe st apes have not been found able to pronounce words, even with the most intensive professional inst ruction. The superior brain of man is apparently a necessity for the mastering of speech. When man became sufficiently intelligent, we must suppose that he gradually increased the number of cries for different purposes. It was a great day when he discovered that speech could be used for narrative. There are those who think that in this respect picture language preceded oral language. A man could draw a picture on the wall of his cave to show in which direction he had gone, or what prey he hoped to catch. 52)_________________________
Two important stages came not so long before the dawn of written history. The first was the d omestication of animals; the second was agriculture. Agriculture made possible an immense increase i n the number of the human species in the regions where it could be successfully practiced. 53)_____ ______________________
54)______________________________
These inventions and discoveries—fire, speech, weapons domestic animals, agriculture, and writin g—made the existence of civilized communities possible. From about 3000 B.C. until the beginning of the Industrial Revolution less than two hundred years ago there was no technical advance compar able to these. During this long period man had time to become accustomed to his technique, and to develop the beliefs and political organizations appropriate to it. There was, of course, an immense ex tension in the area of civilized life. At first it had been confined to the Nile, the Euphrates, the Tig ris, and the Indus, but at the end of the period in question it covered much the greatest part of the inhabitable globe. I do not mean to suggest that there was no technical progress during the time. 55) ______________________ (512 words)
[A] Probably picture language and oral language developed side by side. I am inclined to think that language has been the most important single factor in the development of man.
[B] Another fundamental technical advance was writing, which, like spoken language, developed out of pictures, but as soon as it had reached a certain stage, it was possible to keep records and tr ansmit information to people who were not present when the information was given.
[C] With the development of civilization, primitive people who lived in caves at that time badly needed a language, which would help them to communicate with one another.
[D] The origin of language is also obscure. No doubt it began very gradually.
[E] In fact, there was progress—there were even two inventions of very great importance, namel y, gunpowder and the mariner's compass—but neither of these can be compared in their revolutionar y power to such things as speech and writing and agriculture.
[F] These were, at first, only those in which nature fertilized the soil after each harvest. Agricul ture met with violent resistance from the pastoral nomads, but the agricultural way of life prevailed i n the end because of the physical comforts it provided.
[G] But industry was a step in human progress to which subsequently there was nothing compar able until our own machine age.

Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET . (20 points) Our daily existence is divided into two phases, as distinct as day and night. We call them work and play. We work many hours a day and we allow the necessary minimum for such activities as eating and shopping. 56) The rest we spend in various activities which are known as recreations, an elegant word which disguises the fact that we usually do not even play in our hours of leisure, but spend them in various forms of passive enjoyment or entertainmentWe need to make, therefore, a h ard-and-fast distinction not only between work and play but, equally, between active play and passive entertainment. 57) It is, I suppose, the decline of active play —of amateur sport —and the enor mous growth of purely receptive entertainment which have given rise to a sociological interest in the problem. If the greater part of the population, instead of indulging in sport, spend their hours of lei sure “viewing” television programs, there will inevitabl y be a decline in health and physique. In addi tion, we have yet to trace the mental and moral consequences of prolonged diet of sentimental or se nsational spectacles on the screen. 58) There is, if we are optimistic, the possibility that the diet is t oo thin and unnourishing to have much permanent effect on anybody. Nine films out of ten seem to leave absolutely no impression on the mind or imagination of those who have seen them.
59) It is only when entertainment is active, participated in, practiced, that it can properly be cal led play, and as such it is a natural use of leisure. In that sense play stands in contrast to work, an d is usually regarded as an activity that alternates with work.
Work itself is not a single concept. We say quite generally that we work in order to make a li ving. Some of us work physically, tilling the land, minding the machines, digging the coal; others w ork mentally, keeping accounts, inventing machines, teaching and preaching, managing and governing.
60) There does not seem to be any factor common to all these diverse occupations, except that the y consume our time, and leave us little leisure.(356 words)。
