Talking is su

11、ch a natural, everyday activity that we do not often stop to consider how it actually works. When we do study our language, though, we are often surprised that we are able to understand our conversations. Words can mean so many different things. However, it turns out that the speaking situation help

12、s a lot in making language work.First, the speaking situation helps make words more particular. For example, the word “dog” can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a dream. It can also be used to discuss a neighbors dog. No language has a separate word for the idea “dog that I saw yesterday” and an

13、other word for the idea “dog that I saw in a dream.” This is because the speaking situation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words. So, when you have a conversation with your neighbor, the knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word “dog” probably means in that sit

14、uation.The speaking situation also helps make language clearer. For example, the word “bank” has two possible meanings. It can mean “a place where people keep money,” but it can also mean “the side of a river.” So the sentence “I went to the bank” is not clear. It could mean I went to the side of th

15、e river or it could mean I went to the place where my money is kept. However, if the speaker is talking about fishing or going to the mountains, others probably know that “bank” means “the side of a river.”The things that speakers say may not always be clear. Sometimes the words are not very particu

16、lar, but the speaking situation can provide the meaning. Other times words may have many meanings. Then the speaking situation limits the right meaning. This extra knowledge from the situation is very important to understand language.21.The passage is mainly about _.A.the best time and place to talk

17、 to others B.how speaking situation helps language work C.what to say in difficult situations D.how our language works22.According to the passage, we can safely say that _.A.a speaking situation does not affect the meaning of wordsB.speaking is not very natural for most people C.a speaking situation

18、 is not important D.people often do not consider how talking works 23.By using the example of the word “dog”, the writer wants to show that _.A.a word may need to be explained in a conversationB.a word may have different meaningsC.speaking situation helps people understand the particular meaning of

19、a wordD.the meaning of words is not particular24.According to the passage, we can know the meaning of the word “bank” by referring to _.A.the time and the place where the conversation happensB. the occupation of the person who uses the wordC. earlier or later parts of the conversationD. a reliable d

20、ictionaryBI met Bobby four years ago in Brazil. He wanted me to help him get into the central part of the rainforest, where the tourists dont go, so I gave him a few of my contacts and we kept in touch.

22、prise programs in South Africa. Nepal, and Rwanda.I watch him at work, sitting just outside a group of youngsters: he begins a lively conversation with a bright yellow duck. He whispers to it to be quiet and well behaved; the duck nods but then begins to attack Bobby, who only just manages to contro

23、l his tiny creature. The children begin to stare at the strange sight of this big man and his naughty duck, bursting into laughter when the duck gets the better of him. They move closer, and the duck starts to tease the children. Some of them run away laughing while others get closer.A young man att

24、empts to give Bobby a can of some soft drink, saying something in Nepalese.“Pema, whats this kid saying? Whys he trying to give me this can?”Pema talks to the boy, who is about 12. “He says you saved his grandmothers life last year, Mr. Bobby. She needed an operation in Katmandu, and you put her in

25、the helicopter. He says the family wants to thank you, and this is all they have to give you.” The big guy from Boston is suddenly quiet and clearly touched by the gesture. My two lasting memories of this extraordinary and complex man will be of him chasing the village kids like a fool, and the next
