19、 first time usually arrive at the conclusion that it developed gradually as a system of grunts, hisses and cries and _26 a very simple affair in the beginning. _27 when we observe the language behavior of _28 we regard as primitive cultures, we find it _29 complicates. It was believes that an Eskimo

20、 must have at the tip of his tongue a vocabulary of more than 10,000 words _30 to get along reasonably well, much larger than the active vocabulary of an average businessman who speaks English. _31, These Eskimo words are far more highly inflected （词尾变化的）than _32 of anyOf the well-known European lan

21、guages, for a _33 noun can be spoken or written in _34 hundred different forms, each _35 a precise meaning different from that of any other. The forms of the verbs are even more _36.

Machines have

38、 a certain novelty value, like toys for adults. It is certainly less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine, but the time saved does not really amount to much: the machine has to be watched, the clothes have to be carefully sorted out first, stains removed by hand, buttons pushed and water chang

39、ed, clothes taken out, aired and ironed. It would be more liberating to pack it all off to a laundry and not necessarily more expensive, since no capital investment is required. Similarly, if you really want to save time you do not make cakes with an electric mixer, you buy one in a shop. Ifone comp

40、ares the image of the woman in the womens magazine with the goods advertised by those periodicals; one realizes how useful a projected image can be commercially. A careful balance has to be struck: if you show a labour-saving device, follow it up with a complicated recipe on the next page; on no acc

41、ount hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a job, but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness, emphasizing the creative aspect of her function as a housewife. So we get cake mixes where the cook simply adds an egg herself, to produce that lovely homo-baked flavour the family love,

42、 and knitting patterns that can be made by hand, or worse still, on knitting machines, which became tremendously fashionable when they were first introduced. Automatic cookers are advertised by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park, not by professional women presetting t

44、housewife67. According to the context, capital investment refers to money _.A. spent on a washing machineB. borrowed from the bankC. saved in the bankD. lent to other people68. The goods advertised in womens magazines are really meant to _.A. free housewives from houseworkB. encourage housewives to

45、go out to workC. make housewives into excellent cooksD. give them a false sense of fulfillmentTEXT BThe standard of living of any country means the average persons share of the goods and services which the country produces. A countrys standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its

46、capacity to produce wealth. Wealth in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: goods such as food and clothing, and services such as transport and entertainment.A countrys capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most ofwhich have an effect

47、on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a countrys natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favourable climate; other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. Some countries are perhaps well off in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and
