13、n linguistics made by the swiss linguist f. de saussure early last century. langue(語言) refers to the abstract linguistic system _16_ by the members of a speech community and parole (言語) refers to the actualized language, or _17_ of langue. as a social product, langue is a set of conventions _18_ mem

14、bers of a speech community seem to obey. it can be _19_ as the generalized rules of the language. parole, on the other hand, is the concrete use of the conventions or application of rules. we can _20_ them along the following dimensions. langue is abstract; parole is specific to the situation in whi

15、ch it _21_. langue is not actually spoken by anyone; parole is always a _22_ happening event. langue is relatively stable and systematic; parole is subject to _23_ and situational constraints (約束). take our chinese language for example. it is like a convention over and above all of us; no one can go

16、 _24_ it. it is like an agreement we have all signed; we all agree, for instance, to call the thing we _25_ with “bi”. our language is stable; _26_ it does not change so fast as to make communication _27_ overnight. but when we use it, we all _28_ so differently. we are using the same system, _29_ t

17、he applications are so varied. each act of speaking is a _30_ event, different from any other acts. even the same person uses the system differently on different occasions for different purposes. which should be _31_ in linguistics, langue or parole? _32_ f. de saussure, parole is a mass of _33_ fac

18、ts and not suitable for systematic investigation. what the linguist has to do is to abstract langue from instances of parole that is, to _34_ the laws governing all instances of parole and make them the _35_ of linguistics. the distinction between langue and parole is very important, and it influenc

23、n culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing. a group of americans who taught english in other countries recently discussed their experiences. they decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.on her first day in micronesia, an islan

24、d in the pacific, lisa thought people werent paying any attention to her. as the day was hot, she was thirsty, so she went into a store and asked, “do you have cold drinks?” the woman there didnt say anything. lisa repeated that question. still the woman said nothing. she later learned that the woma

25、n had answered her: she had raised her eyebrows, which in micronesia means “yes”.jan remembered an experience she had in bulgaria, a country in europe. she went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. she asked the waiter, “do you have cabbage today?” on hearing what she said, he nodded his

26、head. so jan waited, but the cabbage never came. in that country, a nod means “no”.tom had a similar problem when he arrived in india. after explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. they answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. he thought some people

27、had not understood, so he explained again. when he asked again, they did the same thing. he soon found out that his students did understand. in india, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. you have to know where a person is from to understand whether t

28、hey mean “yes” or “no”.36. these americans teaching english in other countries found that they _.a. should go abroad for vacationsb. needed to learn foreign languagesc. should often discuss their experiencesd. had problems with communications37. tom misunderstood his class at first because _.a. he d

31、th care bills, long emergency-room waits and the inability to find a primary care physician just scratch the surface of the problems that patients face daily.primary care should be the backbone of any health care system. countries with appropriate primary care resources score highly when it comes to

32、 health outcomes and cost. the u.s. takes the opposite approach by emphasizing the specialist(專家) rather than the primary care physician.a recent study analyzed the providers who treat medicare beneficiaries(受益人). the startling finding was that the average medicare patient saw a total of seven docto

33、rs two primary care physicians and five specialists in a given year. contrary to popular belief, the more physicians taking care of you dont guarantee better care. actually, increasing fragmentation(分裂) of care results in a corresponding rise in cost and medical errors.how did we let primary care sl

34、ip so far? the key is how doctors are paid. most physicians are paid whenever they perform a medical service. the more a physician does, regardless of quality or outcome, the better hes reimbursed (返還費用). moreover, the amount a physician receives leans heavily toward medical or surgical procedures.

35、a specialist who performs a procedure in a 30-minute visit can be paid three times more than a primary care physician using that same 30 minutes to discuss a patients disease. combine this fact with annual government threats to indiscriminately cut reimbursements; physicians are faced with no choice

36、 but to increase quantity to boost income.primary care physicians who refuse to compromise quality are either driven out of business or to cash-only practices, further contributing to the decline of primary care.medical students are not blind to this scenario. they see how heavily the reimbursement

37、deck is stacked against primary care. the recent numbers show that since 1997, newly graduated u.s. medical students who choose primary care as a career have declined by 50%. this trend results in emergency rooms being overwhelmed with patients without regular doctors.how do we fix this problem?it s

38、tarts with reforming the physician reimbursement system. remove the pressure for primary care physicians to squeeze in more patients per hour, and reward them for optimally (最佳地) managing their diseases and practicing evidence-based medicine. make primary care more attractive to medical students by

39、forgiving student loans for those who choose primary care as a career and reconciling the marked difference between specialist and primary care physician salaries.were at a point where primary care is needed more than ever. within a few years, the first wave of the 76 million baby boomers will becom

40、e eligible for medicare. patients older than 85, who need chronic care most, will rise by 50% this decade.who will be there to treat them?40. the authors chief concern about the current u.s. health care system is _.a. the inadequate training of physicians b. the declining number of doctorsc. the shr

41、inking primary care resources d. the ever-rising health care costs41. we learn from the passage that people tend to believe that _.a. the more costly the medicine, the more effective the cureb. seeing more doctors may result in more diagnostic errorsc. visiting doctors on a regular basis ensures goo

42、d healthd. the more doctors taking care of a patient, the better42. faced with the government threats to cut reimbursements indiscriminately, primary care physicians have to _.a. increase their income by working overtimeb. improve their expertise and servicec. make various deals with specialistsd. s

43、ee more patients at the expense of quality43. why do many new medical graduates refuse to choose primary care as their career?a. they find the need for primary care declining.b. the current system works against primary care.c. primary care physicians command less respect.d. they think working in eme

44、rgency rooms tedious.44. what suggestion does the author give in order to provide better health care?a. bridge the salary gap between specialists and primary care physicians.b. extend primary care to patients with chronic diseases.c. recruit more medical students by offering them loans.d. reduce the

45、 tuition of students who choose primary care as their major.c publicity offers several benefitsthere are no costs for message time or space. an ad in prime-time television may cost $250,000 to $500,000 or more per minute, whereas a five-minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything. ho

46、wever, there are costs for news releases, a publicity department, and other items. as with advertising, publicity reaches a mass audience. within a short time, new products or company policies are widely known. credibility about messages is high, because they are reported in independent media. a new

47、spaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper, because the reader associates independence with objectivity. similarly, people are more likely to pay attention to news reports than to ads. for example, the women's wear daily has both fashion reports and advertisemen

48、ts. readers spend time reading the stories, but they flip through the ads. furthermore, there may be 10 commercials during a half-hour television program or hundreds of ads in a magazine. feature stories are much fewer in number and stand out clearly. publicity also has some significant limitations.

49、 a firm has little control over messages, their timing, their placement, or their coverage by a given medium. it may issue detailed news releases and find only portions cited by the media; and media have the ability to be much more critical than a company would like. for example, in 1982, procter &a

50、mp; gamble faced a substantial publicity problem over the meaning of its 123-year-old company logo. a few ministers and other private citizens believed that the symbol was sacrilegious(褻瀆的). these beliefs were covered extensively by the media and resulted in the firm receiving 15,000 phone calls abo

51、ut the rumor in june alone. to combat this negative publicity, the firm issued news releases featuring famous clergy(神父) that refuted(消除) the rumors, threatened to sue(控告) those people spreading the stories, and had a spokesperson appear on good morning america. the media cooperated with the company

52、 and the false rumors were temporarily put to rest. however, in 1985, negative publicity became so disruptive that procter & gamble decided to remove the logo from its products. a firm may want publicity during certain periods, such as when a new product is introduced or new store opened, but th

53、e media may not cover the introduction or opening until after the time it would aid the firm. similarly, the media determine the placement of a story；it may follow a report on crime or sports. finally, the media determine whether to cover a story at all and the amount of coverage to be devoted to it

54、. a company-sponsored jobs program might go unreported or receive three-sentence coverage in a local newspaper.45. the author mentions all of the following advantages of publicity except _.a. having no time costs b. having attentivenessc. having high credibility d. having high profitability46. the s

55、econd paragraph implies that people are more likely to believe stories _.a. in a newspaper than in a womens dailyb. in a newspaper than in a magazinec. in an independent newspaper than in a dependent newspaperd. in a magazine than in a local newspaper47. according to the passage, which of the follow

56、ing statements is true?a. a firm can control and time publicity accuratelyb. a firm can neither control nor time publicity accuratelyc. a firm can either control or time publicity accuratelyd. in most cases a firm can control and time publicity accurately48. the example in paragraph 4 is intended to demonstrate _.a. the power of publicityb. the victim of publicityc. the terrible effect o
