A. duality
B. cultural transmission
C. arbitrariness
D. cognitive creativity
B. cultural transmission
C. arbitrariness
D. cognitive creativity
参考答案
参考解析
解析：考查语言的本质特征。duality“二重性”：指语言的等级性，包括形位和音位；cultural transmission“文化传递性”：指语言要通过教学和学习才能获得；arbitrariness“任意性”：语言符号的形式与表示意义没有天然联系，语言音和义之间的任意性；cognitive creativity“认知创造性”。题干“日本小孩出生时被美国夫妇收养，长大后说英文”正是体现了语言的文化传递性。所以正确答案为B。

That scientists have cloned a sheep sends academics and the public into a panic at the prospect that humans might be next. That's an understandable reaction.(46)___________,so it's not unreasonable to be concerned that it might threaten human society and dignity.Yet much of the ethical oppo-- sition seems also to grow out of an unthinking disgust. And that makes it hard for even trained scientists and ethicists to see the matter clearly.While human cloning might not offer great benefits to humarnty,no one has yet made a persuasive case that it would do any real harm,either.(47)_______That would surely be true if a cloned individual were treated as a lesser being, with fewer rights or lower stature.But why suppose that cloned persons wouldn't share the same rights and dignity as the rest of us?A leading ethicist has suggested that cloning would violate the "right to genetic identity".(48)________It makes perfect sense to say that adult persons have a right not to be cloned without their voluntary,informed consent. But if such consent is given,whose "right"to genetic identity would be violated?So who will likely take advantage of cloning?Perhaps a grieving couple whose child is dying. (49)________But a cloned child born to such dubious parents stands no greater or lesser chance of being loved,or rejected,or warped than a child normally conceived.Infertile couples are also likely to seek out cloning. That such couples have other options(in vitro fertilization or adoption)is not an argument for denying them the right to clone.Or consider an example raised by Judge Richard Posner:a couple in which the husband has some tragic genetic defect. Currently,if this couple wants a genetically related child,(50)________They can reproduce naturally and risk passing on the disease to the child.They can go to a sperm bank and take a chance on unknown genes.They can try in vitro fertilization and dispose of any afflicted embryo though that might be objectionable,too.Or they can get a male relative of the father to donate sperm,if such a relative exists.This is one case where even people unnerved by cloning might see it as not the worst option.Even if human cloning offers no obvious benefits to humanity,why ban it?In a democratic society we don't usually pass laws outlawing something before there is actual or probable evidence of harm.Most important,human cloning should be governed by the same laws that now protect human rights.A world not safe for cloned humans would be a world not safe for the rest of us._______（49）A:they have four not altogether pleasant options.B:This might seem psychologically twisted.C:Theologians contend that to clone a human would violate human dignity.D:Parents might clone a child to have"spare parts"in case the original child needs an organ transplant.E:Cloning is a radical challenge to the most fundamental laws of biology.F: Where did he come up with such a right?

单选题Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.
In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.
Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.
Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?（）A
They can do better in their future studies.B
They can accumulate more group experience there.C
They can be individually oriented when they grow up.D
They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education
