阅读下列短文，然后根据短文的内容从第小题的四个选项中选出最佳的一项，并将答案添入答题卡相应位置 A A
Languages are remarkably complex and wonderfully complicated organs of culture. They contain the quickest and the most efficient means of
communicating within their respective culture. To learn a foreign language is to learn another culture. In the words of a poet and philosopher,“ As many languages as one speaks, so many lives one lives.” A culture and its language are as necessary as brain and body; while one is a part of the other, neither can function without the other. In learning a foreign language, the best beginning would be starting with the non-language elements of the language: its gestures, its body language, etc. Eye contact is extremely important in English. Direct eye contact leads to understanding, or, as the English saying goes, seeing eye-to-eye. We can never see eye-to-eye with a native speaker of English until we have learned to look directly into his eyes.
51. The best title for this passage is
A. Organs of Culture
B. Brain and Body
C. Looking into his eyes D. Language and Culture
52. According to this passage, the best way to learn a foreign language is__________
A. to read the works of poets and philosophers
B. to find a native speaker and look directly into his eyes
C. to begin by learning its body language
D. to visit a country where you can study
53. According to this passage, gestures are__________
A. spoken words
B. a non-language element
C. pictures in a language D. written language
54. "As many languages as one speaks, so many lives..." means__________
A. if one learns many foreign languages, one will have a better understanding of his own language
B. life is richer and more interesting if one knows several languages
C. no matter how many languages one knows, one can never know more than one"s own culture
D. if a person speaks only one language, he will live a very happy life
55. Which of the following doesn"t share the same
meaning with the others?
A. signs
B. gestures
C. words
D. body language

In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago - so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.
The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society
is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.
56. According to the passage, the U.S. elementary education is supposed to make children__________.
A. sensible and sensitive B. competitive and interested
C. curious and friendly D. happy and co-operative
57. Some Americans complain about elementary schools because they think__________.
A. children are reluctant to help each other
B. schools lay too much emphasis on co-operation
C. children should grow up with competitive ideas
D. schools give little actual instruction to children
58. The author"s attitude towards American education can be best described ...
