It is said that a great many things about languages are mysterious, and many will always be so. But some things we do know.

Firstly, we know that all human beings have a language of some kind. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. In historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.

Secondly, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are underdeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.

This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have guessed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.

A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. This means each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.

Finally, we know that language changes. It’s natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.

1.In the 2nd paragraph the author thinks that ________.

A. some backward races don’t have a language of their own

B. some races in history didn’t possess a language of their own

C. any human race, whether backward or not, has a language

D. some races on earth can communicate without a language

2.As the author says, people of underdeveloped cultures can have ________ languages.

A. complicated　　 B. uncivilized

C. primitive　　 D. well-known

3.American Indian languages are mentioned to prove that they are ________.

A. as fully developed as some well-known languages

B. more primitive than some well-known languages

C. more complex than some well-known languages

D. just as primitive as some well-known language

4.According to the author, language changes are most likely to appear in ________.

A. grammar　　 B. vocabulary

C. intonation　　 D. pronunciation

The World Health Organization has for the first time expressed “cautions optimism” that the growth in new Ebola cases in West Africa may be slowing down.

Bruce Aylward, who is in charge of the WHO response to Ebola, said in Geneva that he was particularly encouraged by evidence of a downward trend in Liberia, one of the three worst-affected countries.

The WHO’s official total number of Ebola cases has reached 13.703—a big jump from the10,141 cases it reported four days ago. But Dr Aylward said that was mainly the result of the data being updated with old cases, rather than new cases arising.

“Do we feel confident that the response is now getting an upper hand on the virus? Yes, we are seeing a slowing rate of new cases, very definitely.” Dr Aylward said.

However, Dr Aylward also urged people not to celebrate prematurely over any apparent downturn in the epidemic（传染病). “I’m terrified that the information will be misinterpreted and people will think Ebola is under control.” he said.

Any reduction in the battle against the virus might lead to “an oscillating（震荡的）pattern where the disease moves up and down”.

The improvement in Liberia seems to be due to a combination of more treatment facilities, better contact tracing and safer burial practices, together leading to fewer new infections from Ebola patients.

In Sierra Leone the number of cases continues to increase in some areas. “We’re still seeing this thing burning quite hot in parts of Sierra Leone,” Dr Aylward said

Tracing the progress of individual patients, the WHO estimates an overall death rate of 70 percent, though people who receive treatment in a well-equipped clinic are slightly less likely to die. The WHO plans to set up 56 Ebola clinics with 4,700 beds in West Africa. Of these 15 clinics with 1,050 beds are already operational and another 22 clinics are expected to open during November.

Meanwhile, two former NATO（北约）secretaries-general and dozens of leading European politicians have urged the alliance to send troops, aircraft and ships to west Africa to help contain the Ebola crisis.

1.In the first paragraph, “cautious optimism” probably refers to ________.

A. Ebola under control thanks to WHO’s caution

B. the decline of new Ebola cases though not defeated

C. celebrations on the downturn in Ebola in Liberia

D. More treatment and relief supplies to West Africa

2.Why did Dr Aylward urge people not to celebrate prematurely?

A. Because celebrations may increases infections.

B. Because the pattern of the disease is up and down.

C. Because people may be misled to cease the battle.

D. Because we are getting an upper hand on the virus.

3.Which of the following didn’t contribute to the improvement in Liberia?

A. better contact tracing　　 B. more treatment facilities

C. safer burial practices　　 D. data updated with old cases

4.According to the text, “burning quite hot” means ________.

A. very severe　　 B. extremely hot

C. on fire　　 D. well received
