Apart from the fact that twenty-seven acts of Parliament govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements.
The grammatical words which play so large a
part in English grammar are for the most part
sharply and obviously different from the lexical
words. A rough and ready difference which may
seem the most obvious is that grammatical words 【1】______
have "less meaning", but in fact some grammarians 【2】______
have called them "empty" words as opposed in the 【3】______
"full" words of vocabulary. But this is a rather misled 【4】______
way of expressing the distinction. Although a word like
the is not the name of something as man is, it is very
far away from being meaningless; there is a sharp 【5】______
difference in meaning between "man is vile" and
"the man is vile", yet the is the single vehicle of this 【6】______
difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words
differ considerably among themselves as the amount of 【7】______
meaning they have even in the lexical sense. Another
name for the grammatical words has been "little
words". But size is by no mean a good criterion for 【8】______
distinguishing the grammatical words of English,
when we consider that we have lexical words as 【9】______
go, man, say, car. Apart from this, however,
there is a good deal of truth in what some people
say: we certainly do create a great number of 【10】______
obscurity when we omit them. This is illustrated not
only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose
of telegrams and newspaper headlines.

We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone's personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone's personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a "nice face" looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a "nice person", you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon All port, an American psychologist, found nearly 18 000 English words characterizing differences in people's behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to "type" each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain's (坏人) or the hero's role. In fact, the words
"person" and "personality" come from the Latin persona, meaning "mask". Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" because the two types differ in appearances as well as in actions.
According to this passage, some animals have the girl of______.
A.telling people apart by how they behave
B.typing each other
C.telling good people from bad people
D.recognizing human faces

About one-third of all twins are identical, or single-egg twins. Identical twins have the same genes and, hence, the same sex, hair, eyes, blood type, and bone and tooth structure. Some identical twins are mirror images of each other. For example, one may be left-handed, the other right-handed. As young children, some identical twins may develop their own private language. Identical twins have an especially keen intuition, and they often seem to think and dress alike even when away from each other. In fact, even when they are separated at birth and raised apart, identical twins develop startling similarities. They may pursue the same careers, have the same interests, or die within days of each other.
In contrast to identical twins, fraternal twins inherit a separate assortment of genes and are not necessarily of the same sex. In some families there is a hereditary tendency to produce fraternal twins, but identical twins occur at random in the population.
Another term for identical twins is ______.
A.fraternal twins
B.mirror twins
C.single-egg twins
D.separate-egg twins
听力原文: Science fiction writers have often imagined human beings going to live on Mars. But these days, scientists are taking the idea seriously. It has a great deal to recommend it, since it might solve the problem of overcrowding on the earth. But obviously, it would not be worth making the effort unless people could live there naturally. If the atmosphere were like that of the earth, this might be possible. But in fact it is mostly carbon dioxide. Apart from that, there are other problems to be overcome. For example, the temperature Would have to be raised from 60 degrees below zero to 15 degrees above it. Scientists who study Mars have laid down the program that they can follow. To begin with, they will have to find out whether life has ever existed on the planet of Mars in the past. Secondly, they will have to make a reliable map of its surface. And finally, they will have to make a list of the gases. Above all, they will have to discover how much nitrogen it possesses, since nitrogen is four fifths of the air we breathe. They are surprisingly optimistic about raising the temperature on Mars and believe it could be done in two hundred years. It will take a bit longer, though, to transform. the atmosphere so that human beings, could live there. Scientists estimate that this will take one hundred thousand years.
