Every group has a culture, however uncivilized it may seem to us. To the professional anthropologist , there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist, there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages.
People once thought of the languages of backward groups as undeveloped. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex. They differ from western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this aspect, two things are to be noted. First, all languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. Second, the objects and activities requiting names and distinctions in "backward" languages, while different from the west, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. A western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness "this" and "that". But some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed, or removed from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future. [br] According to this passage, to learn a foreign language would require one to______.
选项
A、do more activities
B、learn about a new culture
C、meet more people
D、need more names
答案
B
解析
本题考查推理判断。根据文章第二段的倒数第三句“…objects and activities requitingnames and distinctions in“backward”languages,while different from the west,are often surprisingly numerous and complicated.”可知,学语言除了学语音、语法外,还要了解与文化相关的思想、信仰和生活方式等。语言是文化的一部分,所以,学习一门外语必须要了解该语言的文化。所以,答案是B。
