PART Ⅱ DICTATION?
What We Know About Language?
Many things about language are a mystery and will remain so. However, we now do know something about it. First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. No human race anywhere on earth is so backward that it has no language of its own at all. Second , there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped but the languages they speak are by no means primitive. In all the languages existing in the world today, there are complexities that must have been developed for years. Third, we know that all languages are perfectly adequate. Each is a perfect means of expressing its culture. And finally, we know that language changes over time, which is natural and normal if a language is to survive. The language which remains unchanged is nothing but dead.?

完型填空
短文大意：這篇文章介紹了氣體與液體的特性及相關理論。?
26．答案：B?
【試題分析】本題考查對固定搭配的掌握。?
【詳細解答】under與condition搭配，表示“在……條件或狀況下”；on與 condition搭配，表示“在……條件下”；in與condition構成習慣短語，表示“身體狀況良好”，而be out of condition”則表示“身體狀況不好”。 這里是說“在地球表面通常的溫度和壓強條件下……”，故選項B為正確答案。?
27．答案：A?
【試題分析】本題為語法題，考查對句子結構的理解。?
【詳細解答】由于所填詞前有and這一并列連詞，這里缺少一個謂語與前面的“can be”并列。謂語動詞fill意思是“使……充滿”，具有使動意義，其后直接跟賓語，故選項A是正確答案。?
28．答案：B?
【試題分析】本題為動詞詞義辨析題。?
【詳細解答】 intend意為“打算，意圖”，主語通常是人；tend意為“有……傾向”，后接不定式，主語可以是人也可以是物；incline意為“使(某人)傾向于，使(某人)有意思(做某事)”，常用于被動語態be inclined to；contend意為“爭奪；爭辯”。這里是說“但（氣體）往往會擴散到任何可能的空間”，故選項B為正確答案。?
29．答案：D?
【試題分析】本題為語法題，考查連詞的用法。?
【詳細解答】however表轉折意為“然而”；nevertheless也表轉折，意為“然而”；so表結果，但常放于句首; therefore表結果，意為“因此，所以”。這里是說氣體容易擴散，所以必須保存在密閉的容器里。因此此處需要一個表結果關系的連詞，故選項D為正確答案。
30．答案：B?
【試題分析】本題考查對固定搭配的掌握。?
【詳細解答】in the event of表示“如果發生……，萬一……”；in the case of表示“在……的情況下，就……而言”; with a view of或者with a view to，意思是“以……為目的；為……起見”；with reference to意思是“關于”。根據上下文，這里是說“必須將氣體存放在一個密封的容器里，如同一顆行星的大氣一樣。” 故選項B為正確答案。
31．答案：C?
【試題分析】本題為語法題，考查對非謂語動詞的掌握。?
【詳細解答】本句中的describe的邏輯主語為theories，故應用現在分詞。同時，describe這一動作只說明一種事實，并不與其他動詞作時間上的先后比較，不必用完成式。故選項C為正確答案。?
32．答案：A?
【試題分析】本題為短語詞義與用法辨析題。?
【詳細解答】consist of一般用主動式; be made from一般指某種產品由某種材料制成(但從外表上看不出原材料); be made up of表示“由……組成”。根據上下文理解，此處要求填一“由……組成”的短語，故選項C為正確答案。?
33．答案：C?
【試題分析】本題考查對固定搭配的掌握。?
【詳細解答】apply意為“應用”；adapt意為“使適應”；conduct意為“指導；處理”，均不能與approach搭配。take approach為固定搭配，意思是“采用……方法”，符合句意。
34．答案：D?
【試題分析】本題為形容詞詞義辨析題。?
【詳細解答】 elementary意為“初步的，基本的”，指事物處于基礎的或開始的階段；crucial意為“極緊要的，決定性的”；rudimentary意為“基本的，初步的”；fundamental意為“基礎的，十分重要的”。文中說“液體與氣體之間的根本相似性在溫度和壓強有所提高時變得十分明顯。”故選項D最合題意。?
35．答案：A?
【試題分析】本題為語法題，考查動詞的特殊用法。?
【詳細解答】suppose后常接一個省略了that的賓語從句，表示“假定，假設……”，用來展開說明。?
36．答案：C?
【試題分析】本題考查關聯詞的用法。?
【詳細解答】in a word表示對上文的總結；in the mean time表示“同時”；in that case表示“在那種情況下”；in other words意為“換句話說”。上文的“expands”和后文“becomes less dense”的意思一致，后一句是為了解釋說明前一句，故用in other words。
37．答案：B?
【試題分析】本題考查語篇分析能力。?
【詳細解答】 similarly意為“同樣的”；furthermore意為“而且”，表示更進一步的關系；instead意為“相反，反而”，表對比關系，一般針對相同人、事情或行為。上文說當加熱的時候，液體蒸發變得稀薄，而下文說氣體因為蒸汽分子的加入而變得稠密，因此兩句之間存在明顯對比關系，只有in contrast最合題意。?
38．答案：D?
【試題分析】本題考查關系詞的用法。?
【詳細解答】本句子意為“使液體和氣體密度相同的那個狀態下的溫度和壓力被稱作臨界點。”句中的“temperature and pressure”是先行詞，需要一個關系詞引導一個定語從句修飾先行詞。特定數值的temperature和pressure與at搭配意為“在某個溫度和壓力下”。由于that引導定語從句時前面不能有介詞，所以正確答案是D。?
39．答案：C?
【試題分析】本題為動詞詞義及用法辨析題。?
【詳細解答】known的常用結構是be known to be或be known as；defined 常用結構是be defined as；refer to意為“提到，說起”，不用于被動語態；只有called后可直接接主語補語。?
40．答案：D?
【試題分析】本題為動詞詞義及用法辨析題。?
【詳細解答】classify指對某種對象進行“分類”；category指將某類事物“歸類”；recognise表示“識別”；distinguish表示“區分”。根據句意，“在臨界點之上時，氣體和液體就很難再區分開來”，選項D為正確答案。
