Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it. Our civilization is decadent (堕落的) and our language — so the argument runs — must inevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a sentimental archaism (拟古), like preferring candles to electric light or handsome cabs to airplanes. Underneath this lies the half conscious belief that language is
a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes.
    Now it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economical causes: it is not due to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and soon indefinitely. A man may take to drink because he feels himself to be a failure, and then fail all the more completely because he drinks. It is rather the same thing that is happening to the English language. It becomes ugly and inaccurate because our thoughts are foolish, but the slovenliness of our language makes it easier for us to have foolish thoughts. The point is that the process is reversible. Modern English, especially written English, is full of bad habits which spread by imitation and which can be avoided if one is willing to take the necessary trouble. If one gets rid of these habits one can think more clearly, and to think clearly is a necessary first step towards political revival: so that the fight against bad English is not foolish and is not the exclusive concern of professional writers.
36. Many people believe that nothing can be done about the English language because __
_____.
A. it has been bad for a long time
B. we live in a decadent civilization
C. there are too many bad writers
D. people are too lazy to change their bad habits
37. The word slovenliness in the second paragraph most probably means_______.
A. slow development B. careless use
C. widespread D. original influence
38. The author believes that _______.
A. it is now too late to do anything about the problem
B. the decline in the language can be stopped
C. language is a natural growth and cannot be shaped for our own purposes
D. the process of an increasingly bad language cannot be stopped
39. The author believes the first stage towards the political revival of the language would be _______.
A. getting rid of bad habits B. clear thinking
C. avoiding being foolish about it D. the fight against bad English
40. It can be learned from the passage that _______.
A. both professional writers and all other people should fight against bad English
B. professional writers are especially responsible for better language habits
C. bad language habits are inevitable because English is becoming ugly
D. any attempt to improve language habits is senseless when people are foolish


Reading is not the only way to acquire knowledge of preceding work. There is another large reservoir which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them with ill concealed disdain. The information from these quarters differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical part the explanations of why things happen is frequently quite fantastic. But the demonstratio
n and report of what happens, and how it happens, are sound even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college student will learn,in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman,so can he.
    Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son, or mother to daughter, of old country customs, of folklore. All this is very difficult for a college student to explore, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild weeds. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries turned out to be rediscoveries of what had existed in this wilderness long ago.
41. The phrase this wide, confused wilderness in paragraph 2 refers to_______ .
A. personal experience B. wild weeds among good plants
C. the information from the parents D. the vast store of traditional practices
42. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?
A. The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild weeds.
B. Craftsmans experience is usually unscientific.
C. The contemptuous college students will receive no instructions from craftsmen.
D. Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college student.
43. From this passage we can infer that _______ .
A. well invite the craftsman to teach in the college
B. schools and books are not the only access to knowledge
C. scientific discoveries are based on personal experience
D. discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge
44. The author advises the college student to _______ .
A. be ill concealed toward the craftsman
B. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific terms
C. learn the craftsmans experience with a critical eye
D. obtain the craftsmans experience without rejection
45. The main idea of this passage is about _______ .
A. what to learn from the parents B. how to acquire knowledge
