12、f the English language.There was no standard way of speaking or writing and noagreement as to the best way of bringing some order to the chaos of Englishspelling.Dr Johnson provided the solution.There had,of course,been dictionaries in the past,the first of these being a littlebook of some 120 pages

13、,compiled by acertain Robert Cawdray.published in 1604 under the title A Table Alphabetcallof hard usuall English wordes.Like the variousdictionares that came after it during the seventeenth century.Cawdrays tended to concentrate onscholarlywords;onefunction of the dictionary was to enable ts studen

14、t to convey an impression of finelearningBeyond the practical need to make order out of chaos,the rise of dictionares isassociated with the rise of the Englishmiddle class,who were anxious to define and circumscribe the various worlds toconquer -lexical as well as social andcommercial.It is highly a

15、pproprate thatDr Samuel Johnson,the very model of an eighteenth-century literary man,as famous in his own time as in ours,should havepublished his Dictionary at the verybegnning of the heyday of the middle class.Johnson was a poet and crtic who raised common sense to the heights of genius.His approa

16、ch to the problems that hadworred wnters throughout the lateseventeenth and early eighteenth centuries was intensely practical.Up until his time,the task of producing a dictionary on such a large scale had seemed impossiblewithout the establishment of an academy to make decisions about rnght and wro

17、ng usage.Johnson decided he did not need an academy to settle arguments aboutlanguage;he would write a dictionaryhimself,and he would do it single-handed.Johnson signed the contract for theDictionary with the bookseller RobertDosley at a breakfast held at the Golden Anchor Inn near Holborn Bar on 18

18、 June 1764.He was to be paid f1.575 ininstalments,and from this he took money to rent 17 Gough Square,in which he set up hisdictionary workshop.James Boswell,his biographer,descnbedthe garret where Johnson worked as fitted up like a counting housewth a long desk running down the middle at which thec

19、opying clerks would work standing up.Reading17Johnson himself was stationed on a ricketychair at anold crazy deal tablesurrounded by a chaos of borrowedbooks.He was also helped by sixassistants,two of whom died whilst the Dictonary was stil in preparation.The work was immense;filling about eighty la

20、rge notebooks (and without a library to hand).Johnson wrote the definitions ofover 40,000 words,and illustrated theirmany meanings with some 114,000quotations drawn from English writing on every subject,from the Elizabethans to his own tme.He did not expect to achievecomplete onginality.Working to a

21、 deadline, he had to draw on the best of all previous dictionaries,and to make his work one of heroic synthesis.In fact,t was very muchmore.Unlike his predecessors,Johnsontreated English very practically,as a living language,with many different shades ofmeaning.He adopted his defintions on the prncp

22、le of English common law -according to precedent.After itspublication,his Dictonary was not seriously nvalled for over a centuryAfter many vicissitudes the Dictonary was finally published on 15 April 1775.It was Instantly recognised as a landmarkthroughout Europe.This very noble work wrote the leadi

23、ng ltalian lexicographer,wll be a perpetual monument of Fame to theAuthor,an Honour to his own Country in particular,and a general Benefit to therepublic of Letters throughout Europe:The fact that Johnson had taken on theAcademies of Europe and matched them (everyone knew that forty Frenchacademics

24、had taken forty years toproduce the first French nationaldictionary)was cause for much English celebration.Johnson had worked for nine years,with little assistance of the learned,and without any patronage of the great;not in the soft obscurities of retirement,or under theshelter of academic bowers,b

25、ut amidst inconvenience and distraction,in sickness and in sorrow.For all its faults andeccentrncities his two-volume work is amasterpiece and a landmark,in his own words,setting the orthography displaying the analogy regulating the structures,and ascertaining the signfications of Englishwords.It is

26、 the cornerstone of Standard English,an achievement which,in JamesBoswels words,conferred stabllty on the language of his country.The Dicuonary,together with his otherwrting,made Johnson famous and so well esteemed that his friends were able toprevall upon King George lll to offer him a pension.From

34、GE 2You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 14-26, which are based on Reading Passage 2 belowNature or Nurture?A A few years ago,in one of the most fascinating and disturbing experiments in behavioural psychology.Stanley Milgram of Yale University tested 40 subjects from all walks of life for

35、 their willingness to obey instructions given by a leader in a situation in which the subjects might feel a personal distaste for the actions they were called upon to perform.Specifically, Milgram told each volunteer teacher-subject that the experiment was in the noble cause of education,and was des

36、igned to test whether or not punishing pupils for their mistakeswould have a positive effect on the pupilsability to learn.B Milgrams experimental set-up involved placing the teacher-subject before a panel of thirty switches with labels ranging from15 volts of electricity (slight shock)to 450 volts(

37、danger -severe shock)in steps of 15 volts each.The teacher-subject was told thatwhenever the pupil gave the wrong answer to a question,a shock was to be administered, beginning at the lowest level and increasing in severity with each successive wronganswer.The supposedpupilwas in reality an actor hi

38、red by Milgram to simulate receiving the shocks by emitting a spectrum of groans,screams and writhings together with anassortment of statements and expletives denouncing both the experiment and theexperimenter.Milgram told the teacher-subject to ignore the reactions of the pupil,and to administer wh

39、atever level of shock was called for,as per the rule governing theexperimental situation of the moment.C As the experiment unfolded,the pupil would deliberately give the wrong answers toquestions posed by the teacher,thereby bringing on various electrical punishments,even up to the danger level of 3

40、00 volts and beyond.Many of the teacher-subjects balked atadministering the higher levels of punishment,and turned to Milgram with questioningooks and/or complaints about continuing the experiment.In these situations,Milgramcalmly explained that the teacher-subject was to ignore the pupls cries for

41、mercy andcarry on with the experiment.If the subject was still reluctant to proceed,Milgram said that it was important for the sake of the experiment that the procedure be followed through to the end.His final argument was,You have no other choice.You must go on.What Milgram was trying to discover w

42、as the number of teacher-subjects who would be willing toadminister the hghest levels of shock,even in the face of strong personal and moral revulsion against the rules and conditions of the experment.D Prior to carrying out the experiment,Milgram explained his idea to a group of39 psychiatrists and

43、 asked them to predict the average percentage of people in anordinary population who would be willing to administer the highest shock level of 450 volts. The overwhelming consensus was that virtually all the teacher-subjects would refuse toobey the experimenter.The psychiatrists felt thatmost subjec

44、ts would not go beyond 150 voltsand they further anticipated that only four per cent would go up to 300 volts.20ReadingFurthermore,they thought that only a lunatic fringe of about one in 1,000 would give the highest shock of 450 volts.E What were the actual results?Well,over 60 per cent of the teacher-subjects continued to obey Milgram up to the 450-volt limit!In repetitions of the experiment in other countries,the percentage of obedient teacher-subjects was even higher,reaching 85 per cent in onecountry.How can we possibly account for this vast discrepancy between wh
