Language as a System of Symbols
Of all systems of symbols(符号),language is the most highly developed.It has been pointed out that human beings,by agreement,can make anything stand for anything.Human beings have agreed,in the course of centuries of mutual(相互的) dependency,to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs,throats,tongues,teeth,and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems.We call that system of agreements language.
There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for.Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head,by gold on the watch chain,or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in,so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.
篇二：2014 年江苏高考英语真题及解析
2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试江苏卷
英 语
第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分）
第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分35分）
单项填空
history cannot be changed.
A. though B. as C. since D. unless
【考点】考察状语从句连词辨析
【答案】A
【解析】本题考察的是状语从句的连词辨析。Though尽管；as随着，因为；since自从，既然；unless除非，如果…不…；句意：尽管历史不能改变，但是为了面对未来我们还是要从历史中学会教训。根据句意可知上下文之间存在着转折关系，所以使用though表示让步和转折。故A正确。
【举一反三】It was a nice meal, _______a little expensive.
A. though B. whether C. asD. since
【答案】A
【考点】考查连词。句意：那顿饭真美味，尽管有点贵。Though”尽管”，引导让步状语从句，该句使用了省略形式，补全为“though it was a little expensive”注意as也可以表示“尽管”，但as作此意时必须使用倒装结构。
22. The book has helped me greatly in my daily communication, especially at worka good impression is a must.
A. which B. when C. as D. where
【考点】考察定语从句
【答案】D
【解析】本题定语从句的先行词是work，后面的定语从句a good impression is a must的句子结构很完整，所以使用关系副词在句中做状语，同时也引导起这个定语从句。句意：在日常交流中这本书书帮助了很多，尤其是在需要有良好印象的工作之中。AC两项都是关系代词在句中不能做状语，when的先行词通常都是指时间的名词。故D正确。
【试题延伸】where引导定语从句时，是表示地点或者抽象意义“在…方面”，本身在从句部分充当地点状语。并且有些时候一些词会很抽象的用作地点，比如，case，stage，position，state，activity,business,occasion,situation,point，work等,但也要视情况而定。
【举一反三】It’s helpful to put children in a situationthey can see themselves differently.
A. that B. when C. whichD. where
〖答案〗D
〖考点〗考查定语从句。
〖解析〗先行词是situation, 指物, 亦可指地点, 关系词在从句中做地点状语, 用关系副词where, 选D。把孩子放在他们能够另眼看自己的环境里是有益的。
23.—How much do you know about the Youth Olympic Games to be held in Nanjing?
—Well, the media _________it in a variety of forms.
A. cover B. will cover C. have covered D. covered
【考点】考察时态
【答案】C
【解析】句意：—你对即将在南京举行的青奥会了解多少？—很好，媒体以多种形式对青奥会举行了报道。根据本句中的well，可知后者对青奥会很了解。这主要是因为媒体多种形式的报
道，本句使用现在完成时体现出过去所发生的事情对现在的影响。故C正确。
【试题延伸】动词时态是高考的热点，英语的时态多，又很复杂，现在的高考不是纯粹考时态的问题，而是把它们放在一定的语言环境里，让考生根据特定的环境来确定答案。
【举一反三】--- Peter, do you know who____ my dictionary ?
---Sorry , I don’t know . I didn’t do it .
A. has taken awayB. was taking away
C. had taken awayD. is taking away
【答案】A
【解析】
试题分析：句意：--皮特，你知道谁把我的字典拿走了吗？--对不起，我不知道，我没有拿。这里拿走发生在过去，强调对现在造成的影响，不知在什么地方，故用现在完成时。
24. Tom always goes jogging in the morning and he usually does push-ups too to stay____.
A. in place B. in order C. in shape D. in fashion
【考点】考察介词短语辨析
【答案】C
【解析】本题考察的是与介词in有关的短语辨析。in place有序，在适当的位置；in order井井有条；in shape健康的，状态良好的；in fashion流行的，时尚的；句意：为了保持健康，每天早晨Tom总去慢跑，也经常做引体向上。根据句意可知Tom锻炼的目的是为了保持健康。故C正确。
25. Top graduates from universities are by major companies.
A. chased B. registered C. offered D. compensated
【考点】考察动词词义辨析
【答案】A
【解析】本题考察的是动词词义辨析。Chase追求，追逐；register登记，注册；offer提供；compensate补偿，赔偿；句意：来自大学里的优秀毕业生收到大公司的追逐。本句表示大公司愿意接受大学的优秀毕业生。根据句意说明A正确。
26. —What a mess! You are always so lazy!
—I'm not to blame, mum. I am _____you have made me.
A. how B. what C. that D. who
【考点】考察名词性从句
【答案】B
【解析】本题考察的是名词性从句中的表语从句。表语从句通常都是放在系动词be的后面，说明主语的情况。本句中的what引导起宾语从句，并在宾语从句里放在made me的后面做宾语补足语。句意：—真乱啊！你总说这么懒！—我不应该受到责备。是你让我成为这样的。That在表语从句中不能做成分，how在句中做状语。Who指人，通常都做主语。故B正确。
【举一反三】Why not try your luck downtown, Bob? That’sthe best jobs are.
A.where B.what C.when D.why
〖答案〗A
〖考点〗本题考查名词性从句。
〖解析〗句意为：为什么不到市中心商业区去碰碰运气呢, 鲍勃？那是最好的工作所在的地方。where “……的地方”, 在此引导表语从句。
27. She was put under house arrest two years ago but remained a powerful in last year's election.
A. symbol B. portrait C. identity D. statue
【考点】考察名词词义辨析
【答案】A
【解析】本题考察的是名词的词义辨析。A象征；标志；符号；记号；代表人物；B肖像；identity身份；statue雕像，塑像；句意：虽然两年前就已遭软禁，她在去年的选举中仍然是势力强大的代表人物。故A正确。
【举一反三】The speech from the new government is a _______ that major changes are on the way.
A. warningB. symbolC. goal D. signal
【答案】D
【解析】
试题分析：句意：来自于新政府的讲话是一个信号，那就是主要的改革正在进行。Warning警告；symbol 符号；goal目标；signal信号，选D。
28. The idea "happiness,", will not sit still for easy definition.
A. to be rigid B. to be sure C. to be perfect D. to be fair
【考点】考察形容词词义辨析。
【答案】B
【解析】本题考察的是形容词词义辨析。Rigid僵硬的，死板的；sure确信的，肯定的，有把握的；perfect完美一的；fair公平的；句意：“幸福，“可以肯定的是，不是个静态简单的定义。根据句意说明B项符合上下文串联。
29. His lecture____, a lively question-and-answer session followed.
A. being given B. having given C. to be given D. having been given
【考点】考察非谓语动词用法
【答案】D
【解析】本题较难，a lively question-and-answer session followed是一个完整的句子，本题的两部分之间缺少连词，所以逗号前面的不能是句子，只能是一个独立主格结构。名词his lecture与动词give之间构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词表示被动，排除B项。A项表示正在进行，C项不定式表示将要进行。都符合语义，D项having been done在做状语的时候相当于done。本句的独立主格结构His lecture having been given相当于After his lecture had been given。句意：他的演讲结束后，将是一个现场问答部分。故D正确。
【举一反三】Bats are surprsingly long-lived creatures, some a life span of around 20 years.
A.havingB hadC. haveD. to have
【答案】A
【考点】考查独立主格结构。
【解析】句意为“令人惊讶的是，蝙蝠是长寿的动物，有些能活20年左右。”had和have是谓语动词形式，题中没有连词，无法并存两个句子。to have表将来；having表伴随，因此，选A。
30.—Dad, I don't think Oliver the right sort of person for the job.
—I see. I'll go right away and .
A. pay him back B. pay him off C. put him away D. put him off
【考点】考察动词短语辨析
【答案】B
【解析】本题考察的是动词pay及put的短语辨析。Pay back偿还；报复；报答；偿付；pay off付清；（付清工资后）解雇；（努力）得到回报；put away收拾，整理，放在一边，不管不顾；put off推迟；句意：—爸爸，我认为Oliver并不是这份工作的合适人选。—我明白的，我马上就去付清他的工资，解雇他。根据句意本句中的pay off表示（付清工资后）解雇。故B正确。
【举一反三】28. The athlete's years of hard trainingwhen she finally won the Olympic gold medal.
A. went on B. got through C. paid off D. ended up
【答案】C
【考点】考点本题考查动词词组。

31. It was sad to me that they, so poor themselves, bring me food.
A. might B. would C. should D. could
【考点】考察情态动词词义辨析
【答案】C
【解析】本题考察的是情态动词的特殊意义。Might也许；would会，过去常常做某事；should应该，竟然；could能够；句意：让我难过的是，如此贫穷的他们竟然给我带来了食物。根据句意可知本句中的should表示“竟然”。故C正确。
【试题延伸】在平时的学习中既要注意情态动词的基本含义，也要注意情态动词的特殊意义，如must偏偏，非得；should竟然；mustn’t禁止，千万不能；等等。情态动词Shall用于所有人称，表示命令，警告，允诺；以及法律规定中要做的事情。
【举一反三】—It’s hard to believe that Jack ________ have fought with the policeman.
—Yes. If one ________ ask for trouble, it can’t be helped.
A. would; willB. must; mayC. should; mustD. need; dare

How long can human being live? Most scientists who study old age think that the human body is 1to live no longer than 120 years.

Yet, our cells simply cannot continue to reproduce3 . They wear out, and as a result, we get old and4die.
Even though we can‘t live forever, we are living a5life than ever before. In 1900, the average American life span(寿命) was only 47 years, but today it is 75 years!
When does old age begin then? Sixty-five may be out-of-date as the6line between middle age and old age. After all, many older people don‘t begin to experience physical and mental7until after age 75.
People are living longer because more people8childhood. Before modern medicine changed the laws of nature, many children died of common childhood9 . Now that the chances of dying10are much lower, the chances of living long are much higher due to better diets and health care.
On the whole, our population is getting older. The11in our population will have lasting effects on our social development and our way of life. Some people fear such changes will be for the worse, while some see12 , not disaster. Today, many men and women in their ―golden years‖ are healthy, still active, and young in13if not in age.

Peter loved to shop used articles. Almost a month ago, he bought a popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, ―Oh, look, the game box hasn‘t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money.‖
Peter examined the box and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.
―You should put that up for auction(拍卖) on the internet, and see what happened.‖ The sales- girl said.
―Yes, you are right. People like something rare,‖ Peter agreed. ―I can‘t imagine there being very many unopened boxed of this game still around 40 years later.‖
―Don‘t forget to tell me if you sell it,‖ The salesgirl smiled.
―No problem,‖ Peter said.
After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for this game. But he couldn‘t find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result
was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had some produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors.

Two weeks later Peter went back to the shop.
―Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?‖
The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, ―Oh, hi!‖
―I have got something for you,‖ Peter said. ―I sold the game and made $1000. Thank you for your suggestion.‖ He handed her three $100 bills.

When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that was not very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn‘t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, ―Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish‖. I remember I didn‘t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?
As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don‘t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes. The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.
When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, ―We all need to think like salespeople.‖ But it didn‘t completely make sense. My dad never once said, ―If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.‖ What he said was, ―You need to think like fish.‖ Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me. I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.

Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it‘s important to distinguish television‘s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn‘t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children‘s minds.
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child‘s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images(影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meaning from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kid in front of the set and do something in another room.
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading
ability. TV doesn‘t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents‘ educational background have a stronger influence on a child‘s reading. ―A child‘s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads,‖ Anderson says.
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact research suggests that it‘s the other way around. ―If you‘re smart young, you‘ll watch less TV when you‘re older,‖ Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers. For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.
36. By watching TV, children learn .
A. images though words
B. more than explicit meanings
C. more about images than words
D. little about people‘s psychology
37. An educational program is best watched by a child .
A. on his own
B. with other kids
C. with his parents
D. with his teachers
38.Which of the following is most related to children‘s reading ability?
A. Radio-listening.
B. Television-watching.
C. Parents‘ reading list.
D. Parents‘ educational background.
39. Anderson believes that .
A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he is
B. the younger the child is, the more he watches TV
C. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV
D. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school
40.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To advise on the educational use of TV.
B. To describe TV‘s harmful effects on children.
C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.
D. To present Anderson‘s unconventional ideas.

It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.
In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the ?decline of class‘ and ?classless society‘ in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.
But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class
