Talking is such a natural, everyday activity that we do not often stop to consider how it actually works. When we do study our language, though, we are often surprised that we are a

14、ble to understand our conversations. Words can mean so many different things. However, it turns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work. First, the speaking situation helps make words more particular. For example, the word “dog” can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a

15、dream. It can also be used to discuss a neighbors dog. No language has a separate word for the idea “dog that I saw yesterday” and another word for the idea “dog that I saw in a dream.” This is because the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words. So, when you have a

16、conversation with your neighbor, the knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word “dog” probably means in that situation. The speaking situation also helps make language clearer. For example, the word “bank” has two possible meanings. It can mean “a place where people keep money,”

17、 but it can also mean “the side of a river.” So the sentence “I went to the bank” is not clear. It could mean I went to the side of the river or it could mean I went to the place where my money is kept. However, if the speaker is talking about fishing or going to the mountains, others probably know

18、that “bank” means “the side of a river.”The things that speakers say may not always be clear. Sometimes the words are not very particular, but the speaking situation can provide the meaning. Other times words may have many meanings. Then the speaking situation limits the right meaning. This extra kn

19、owledge from the situation is very important to understand language.21. The passage is mainly about _.A. the best time and place to talk to others B. how speaking situation helps language work C. what to say in difficult situationsD. how our language works22. According to the passage, we can safely

20、say that _.A. a speaking situation does not affect the meaning of wordsB. speaking is not very natural for most people C. a speaking situation is not important D. people often do not consider how talking works 23. By using the example of the word “dog”, the writer wants to show that _.A. a word may

21、need to be explained in a conversationB. a word may have different meaningsC. speaking situation helps people understand the particular meaning of a wordD. the meaning of words is not particular24. According to the passage, we can know the meaning of the word “bank” by referring to _.A. the time and

22、 the place where the conversation happensB. the occupation of the person who uses the wordC. earlier or later parts of the conversationD. a reliable dictionaryBI turned 16 on Friday, but the Drivers License Office in my small hometown was only open on Tuesday, so I had to wait through that extremely

23、 long weekend and an endless Monday before going in for my examination.I came to the Drivers License Office half an hour earlier that Tuesday morning, pacing back and forth on the worn porch waiting for the office to open at eight.

24、 knew the manual backward and forward; I had made an “A” in my drivers training course, and I was a genius behind the wheel.Finally, the door opened and a weary-looking man in a brown uniform let me in. “Let me guess.

26、g smoothly as we pulled out of the empty parking lot. I signaled a right hand turn, and we were on a deserted street. This was going to be easy.“Turn left and go up Young Blood Hill,” he ordered. My hometown is in the mountains, and Young Blood Hill was almost vertical. As I eased up the steep hill

27、and came to a stop at the top, I heard the cars engine die. My heart sank. I would have to start it again without rolling back down the hill. I swallowed hard and turned the key; as I moved my foot from the brake, the car began to roll. I suppose I could have rolled all the way back to the bottom ex

28、cept for one thing. There was something behind me which stopped my roll with a rough shake and crash of glassa police car.The policeman wrote me a ticket as I looked over the damage, and the man from the Drivers License Office slid behind the wheel. I waited until we had parked before I asked how lo

29、ng a person had to wait before taking the test again. 25. What time does “that Tuesday morning” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The morning when he made an “A” in his drivers training course.B.

43、l College London (ICL).The study, led by ICL researchers, was published in the journal BMC Medicine. It investigates the association between the so-called reproductive factors - such as having children and breastfeeding - and a womans risk of death.Researchers analyzed data from 322,972 women across

44、 10 countries, including the UK, France, Germany and Sweden, with an average age of 50.Each woman was followed for an average of 12.9 years. During this period, there were 14,383 deaths overall, which included 5,938 deaths from cancer and 2,404 deaths from circulatory system diseases, according to t
