Section B
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent
and grammatically correct.
How language transformed humanity
Language is very probably the one characteristic that separates us from the chimpanzees,
our closest relatives. All other major differences between us likely stem from language. “It
allows you to implant (植入) a thought from your mind directly into someone else’s mind”,
says Mark Pagel, professor and head of the Evolution Laboratory at the University of
Reading.
Humans use discrete (分离的) pulses of sound—their language—____18____(alter) the
internal settings inside someone else’s brain to suit an individual’s interests. Language is a
form of social learning instead of something ____19____(pursue) all by oneself.
Social learning is visual theft: for example, if I can learn by watching you, I can steal
(and benefit from) your best ideas, wisdom or skills without having to invest the time and
energy to develop these ____20____.
There are two options for dealing with this crisis: either return into small family groups
so the benefits of each group’s knowledge ____21____(share) only with one’s relatives or
expand one’s group to include unrelated others.____22____our relatives, the Neanderthals,
who withdrew into small groups, humans chose the second option, and language was the
result.
“Language evolved to solve the crisis of visual theft and to exploit cooperation and
exchange”, says Professor Pagel.
In fact, as Professor Pagel argues, language is a “social technology” ____23____(allow)
for cooperation between unrelated individuals and groups. According to the archaeological
record, it was this cooperation and sharing of ideas ___24___came before human migration
around the planet and the following human population explosion.
But almost incomprehensibly
,
thousands of languages evolved. So just ____25____a
shared language facilitates communication and cooperation between unrelated groups,
different languages slow the flow of ideas, technologies—and even genes.
“Can humans afford to have all these different languages?” asks Professor Pagel. In a
world ____26____we want to promote cooperation, in a world that is more dependent than
ever on cooperation to maintain and enhance humanity’s levels of prosperity, multiple
languages _____27_____not be practical.
In fact, humanity’s “destiny is to be one world with one language”, concludes Professor
Pagel.
Section C Vocabulary

be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A. labour B. manner C. highlighting D. circumstances E. updated
F. characterised G. integrated H. admirable I. accommodate J. overseeing
K. flexible
The house of the future? A sun-filled, shape-shifting, shed-share paradise
What will homes be like 10 years from now? Judging by the winners of the Home of
2030 competition, sharing will be key.
Shared home-working spaces, communal garden sheds and houses built using apps—
these are just some of the ideas in the winning proposals for the government’s Home of 2030
