In this (36), every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or uncivilized it may seem to us.To the professional anthropologist (人类学家), there is no intrinsic(37)of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy(等级制度) among languages.People once thought of the languages of backward groups as (38) and undeveloped forms of speech, consisting largely of grunts and groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex, delicate, and ingenious pieces of machinery for the (39) of ideas. They fall behind our Western languages not in their sound patterns or (40 ) structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which（41）the objects and activities known to their speakers.

They (36) needed supplies of highly trained personnel to (37) a concept of development based on modernization. But many of these students decided to stay on in the developed countries when they had finished their training.In the 1960s, some Latin American countries tried to solve this problem by setting up special "return" programs to encourage their professionals to come back home. These programs received support from international bodies such as the International Organization for Migration, which in 1974enabled over 1,600（38）scientists and technicians to return to Latin America.In the 1980s and 1990s, "temporary return" programs were set up in order to make the best use of trained personnel (39) strategic positions in the developed countries. This gave rise to the United Nations Development Program's Transfer of Knowledge through Expatriate Nationals, which encourages technicians and scientists to work in their own countries for short periods. But the brain drain from these countries maywell increase in (40) to the new laws of the international market in knowledge.Recent studies (41) that the most developed countries are going to need more and more highly qualified professionals around twice as many as their educational systems will be ableto produce, or so it is thought. As a (42) there is an urgent need for developing countries which send students abroad to give (43) to fields where they need competent people to give muscle to their own institutions, instead of encouraging the training of people who may not come back because there are no professional outlets for them. And the countries of the South must not be content with institutional structures that simply take back professionals sent abroad; they must introduce (44) administrative procedures to encourage them to return.

They have developed a hitlist of our main fears: natural resources are（1）out the population is ever growing, leaving less and less to eat species are becoming （2）in vast numbers, and the planet's air and water are becoming ever more polluted.But a quick look at the facts shows a different picture. First, energy and other natural resources have become more（3） not less so, since the book 'The Limits to Growth' was published in 1972 by a group of scientists. Second, more foodis now produced per 4 of the world's population than at any time in history. Fewer people are （5） . Third, although species are indeed becoming extinct, only about 0.7% of them are expected to disappear in the next 50 years, not 25~50%, as has so often been（6）. And finally, most forms of environmental pollution either appear to have been （7） , or are transient - associated with the early stages of industrialization and therefore best cured not by restricting economic growth, but by（8）it. One form of pollution - therelease of greenhouse gases that causes global warming - does appear to be a phenomenon that is going to extend well into our future, but its total impact is unlikely to（9） a devastating (令人心神不安的) problem. A bigger problem may well turn out to be an inappropriate response to it.Yet opinion polls suggest that many people nurture the belief that environmental standards are declining and some factors seem to cause this disjunction between （10） and reality.A) pose B) exaggerated C) acceleratingD) extinct E) exist F) perceptionG) wealthy H) magnified I) starvingJ) head K) running L) predictedM) abundantN) conceptionO) reducing专四完形填空新题型模拟题（6）During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, migrations have taken place within (11) countries; the cities with their industries have attracted people away from the country. The possibility of earning a fixed (12) in a factory or office wasmore attractive than the possibility of staying on the farm and having one's work (13) by frost, storms, or droughts. Furthermore, thedevelopment of agricultural machinery made it possible for fewer people to do the same (14) of work.Thus, at the same time when the industrial revolution made it possible to produce goods more (15) and more quickly in factories, agricultural revolution also took place.

The same (13) of walls crushed hundreds of thousands of people during the 1976 Tangshan quake in China.A decade ago, Atwater would have paid little notice to schoolroom walls.

There may still be a trillion barrels of recoverable oil in the Middle East. But the oil crisis of 1974 has (11) to renewed interest in coal and to a search for （12） sources of energy. Solar, geothermal, and nuclear energy will play a large role in the years to come.Solar energy is available in （13） forms. Buildings can be heated and cooled by direct use of solar radiation, crops and trees, which are the most efficient converters of sunlight into energy, can be grown for their energy potential, wastes can be burned as （14） , sunlight can be converted into DC (direct current) electricity, electric power can be （15） from thesun-warmed surface waters of the ocean, and lastly, solar radiation can be converted into heat that will drive electric power generators.

The national output was （14）at 10 percent above that of 1954(1955 output was estimated at 392 billion dollars). The production of manufactures was about 40 percent more than it had （15） in the years immediately following World War I . The country's business spent about 30 billion dollars for new factories and machinery. National income （16） for spending was almost a third greater than it had been in 1950.

Sixty-five million people held jobs and only a little more than twomillion wanted jobs but could not find them. Only agriculture （ 18 ）that it was not sharing in the boom. To some observers this was a sad reflection of the mid-1920's. As farmers' share of their products （19） , marketing costs rose. But there were, among the observers of the national economy, a few who were not as confident as the majority. Those few seemed to fearthat the boom could not last long and would（20） lead to the opposite—depression.A. eventuallyB.averagedC.graduallyD.stateE. valuedF.formG.declinedH.occasionalI. casual J.argued K.descended L plainedM. clock N.available O.illustrating专四完形填空新题型模拟题（10）Social customs and ways of behaving change.

Test 14From childhood to old age, we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us.When humans first 1 , they were like newborn children, unable to use this 2 tool.Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human kind�s future 3 and cultural growth increased.Many linguists believe that evolution is 4 for our ability to produce and use language.They 5 that our highly evolved brain provides us 6 an innate language ability not found in lower 7 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 8 for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, 9 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood.Therefore there are critical 10 times for language development.Current 11 of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. 12 , more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 13 grades.Young children often can learn several languages by being 14 to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 15 of their first language have become firmly fixed.16 some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum.Children who have been 17 fromother human beings do not possess language.This demonstrates that 18 with other human beings isnecessary for proper language development.Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 19 than any innate capacities.These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior. 20 , children learn language from their parents by imitating them.Parents gradually shape their child's language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.(281words)1.A.generated B.evolved C.born D.originated2.A.valuable B.appropriate C.convenient D.favorite3.A.attainments B.feasibility C.entertainments D.evolution4.A.essential B.available C.reliable D.responsible5.A.confirm rm C.claim D.convince6.A.for B.from C.of D.withanizations anisms C.humans D.children8.A.potential B.performance C.preference D.passion9.A.as B.just as C.like D.unlike10.A.ideological B.biological C.social D.psychological11.A.reviews B.reference C.reaction D.recommendation12.A.In a word B.In a senseC.IndeedD.In other words13.A.various B.different C.the higher D.the lower14.A.revealed B.exposed C.engaged D.involved15.A.regulations B.formations C.rules D.constitutions16.A.Although B.Whether C.Since D.When17.A.distinguished B.different C.protected D.isolated18.A.exposition parison C.contrast D.interaction19.A.acquisition B.appreciation C.requirement D.alternative20.A.As a result B.After allC.In other wordsD.Above all答案：1.【答案】B【解析】此处意为：当人类刚刚开始进化，他们如同新生儿一样不会运用语言这种工具。
evolved逐渐发展，进化符合题意。
generated生殖，发展；born (bear 的过去分词)不能作谓语动词；originated起源，不能用first修饰。
2.【答案】A【解析】根据语法分析，答案应用来修饰语言的。
valuable珍贵的；appropriate合适的，适当的；convenient方便的，便利的；favorite最喜欢的。
语言并不是人类选择的结果，而是人类在进化过程中慢慢发展起来的，对人类来说，应当是珍贵的。
3.【答案】A【解析】此处意思是：语言的发展增加了人类未来的成就和文化进步的可能性。
attainments成就；feasibility可行性；entertainments娱乐；evolution进化。
4.【答案】D【解析】此处意为：许多语言学家认为进化使人们产生和具备了语言的能力。
固定短语be responsible for对……负责，是……的原由。
其它选项不与for搭配。
5.【答案】C【解析】根据语法分析,空格后应是一个宾语从句，而A，B，D三项后都不能接从句做直接宾语。
confirm(确认)+名词；inform(通知)sb.of sth.；convince(使某人确信) sb.of sth.6.【答案】D【解析】固定搭配provide sb.with sth.意为“向(人)提供(物)”7.【答案】B【解析】此处意为：我们高度发达的大脑是我们具备了其它低等动物所不具备的语言能力。
显然，这里是把人和低等动物相比较。
因此选organisms有机体，生物体。
8.【答案】A【解析】此句意思是：人类的语言能力是与生俱来的，但语言本身也在逐渐发展，所以这种能力应该是潜在的。
potential潜力；performance 履行；preference偏爱；passion激情。
9.【答案】A【解析】此句句义是：语言本身作为童年时期大脑生长的一种功能，其发展是缓慢的。
as (作为，当作)合乎题意。
Like作为介词的意思是“像……一样”。
10.【答案】B【解析】此句意为：语言的发展有一个关键期，人体的成长是生物变化的过程。
biological生物的；ideological思想上的；social社会的；psychological心理的。
11.【答案】A【解析】此处意为：目前人们对“先天论”评论观点不一，但是支持某些天生能力的证据却是确凿无疑的。
reviews评论；reference参考；reaction反应；recommendation推荐。
12.【答案】C【解析】从11题可看出，作者是倾向于先天论的，为了进一步证明先天论是有道理的，作者选择了以学校为例加以说明，因此这里应填一个表示递进关系的词Indeed(甚至)。
13.【答案】D【解析】此处意思是：越来越多的学校发现在什么年级学外语较容易，根据常识(低年级学外语较容易)以及后文的Young children often canlear n several languages by being 14 to them, while adults…可以选定答案。
14.【答案】B【解析】此处意为：通过接触多种语言，孩子们可以学会好几种语言。
be exposed to是固定搭配，接触到。
reveal(显露)sth.to sb，不合题意，因本题中的them指languages。
其余选项不与to搭配。
engage in从事；be involved in参与。
15.【答案】C【解析】此句意思是：一旦母语的规则被深深印入脑海中，成年人就很难再学好另一种语言。
rules规则，规律；regulations规定；formations 构成，构造；constitutions宪法，章程。
16.【答案】A【解析】分析上下文的逻辑关系，从句意思是：语言的某些方面肯定是先天的。
主句意思是：语言不会在与人隔绝的状况下自行发展。
前后应为转折关系。
