21年人文英语3 单元3作文The Evolution of Human Communication: A Journey through Time.Human communication has undergone remarkable transformations throughout history, evolving from primitive forms of expression to the sophisticated digital media we use today. This essay explores the development of human communication, tracing its journey from ancient times to the present day, and considers the impact these changes have had on society and culture.In ancient times, communication was limited to face-to-face interactions and basic forms of writing. The earliest known writing systems, such as hieroglyphics in Egypt and cuneiform in Mesopotamia, were developed to record important events and transmit knowledge across generations. These systems were complex and required specializedtraining to understand and interpret.As civilizations grew and trade routes expanded, the need for more efficient communication became apparent. The invention of the printing press in the 15th century revolutionized communication, allowing for the mass production of books and other printed materials. This innovation significantly broadened access to knowledge and facilitated the spread of ideas and cultures.The Industrial Revolution further accelerated the pace of change. The development of the telegraph in the 19th century allowed for the rapid transmission of messages over long distances, facilitating communication between distant locations. This technology was later replaced by the telephone, which made real-time voice communication possible.The 20th century brought about even more profound changes. The advent of radio and television allowed for the broadcast of information and entertainment to a wide audience. These media forms not only entertainment but also served as important platforms for news and public information.The digital revolution in the late 20th and early 21st centuries marked a new era in communication. The internet, smartphones, and social media platforms have transformedthe way we share information, express ourselves, andconnect with others. The rise of these technologies has made communication more accessible, instantaneous, and interactive than ever before.Today, we live in a hyper-connected world where communication is not limited to traditional forms. Social media allows us to share updates, thoughts, and opinionswith a global audience. Video conferencing and online collaboration tools enable remote work and learning.Digital platforms have also given rise to new forms of expression such as blogging, podcasting, and video content creation.The evolution of human communication has had profound impacts on society and culture. It has broken down barriers, expanded our knowledge base, and fostered global connectivity. It has enabled the spread of ideas, cultures,and innovations, facilitating the growth and development of civilizations.However, this rapid pace of change also presents challenges. The rise of digital communication has led to issues such as information overload, privacy concerns, and the spread of misinformation. It is important that we continue to adapt and evolve our communication practices to address these challenges and harness the full potential of human communication.In conclusion, the journey of human communication from ancient times to the present day is a remarkable testamentto the adaptability and ingenuity of the human species. From hieroglyphics to social media, we have come a long way in our ability to express ourselves and connect with others. As we continue to embrace new technologies and face the challenges of the future, the evolution of human communication will remain an ongoing process that shapesour world.。

学位英语人文(3)阅读练习(1)Most couples who get married or decide to live together generally plan to have children. Several years ago, having big families was common and people thought of this as an advantage. That was mainly because children began working at an early age to help provide for the family. But with the changing times and with the cost of living getting higher every single year, having a big family is no longer considered a practical option. In fact, more and more couples choose to have only one child and some do not have any desire to become parents at all.Indeed, the trend of having fewer children started a few decades ago. According to the Australian Institute of Family Studies, by 1986, women aged 40 to 44 years, were considerably more likely to have given birth to two children than three children (36% vs. 27%) or four or more children (19%). However, taken together, women were still more likely to have had three or more children than to have had two children (46% vs. 36%).Two decades ago, women were more likely to have had two children than three or more children 一a trend that was most marked in the most recent period (38% vs. 25% in 1996; 38% vs. 22% in 2006). Nowadays, most families in Australia have two children. But the number of women who had given birth to a single child increased progressively from only 8% in 1981 to 13% in 2006, and it should be even bigger nowadays.The U.S. Census Bureau states that there are approximately 14 million only children in America today. This comprises 20% of the children's population compared to only 10% around fifty years ago.I.Why people thought of having big families as a good thing in the past?A.Because the cost of living is low.B.Because having a big family is no longer considered a practical option.C.Because people needed children to work early to provide for the family.B.Speakers of English as a second language are more than those who speak it as a first language.C.It is definitely predicted that English will still act as a global language in the future.D.English is the main language of information stored in the Internet.5. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.The Number of English SpeakersB.The spread of English LanguageC.English, the Global LanguageD.The Domination of English Language人文英语3阅读答案（学位）Passage 11-5 CBCD APassage 21-5 AABADPassage 31-5 BDDCAPassage 41-5 CDADBPassage 51-5 ABDCAPassage 61-5 BBADCD.Because having big families was common.2.What docs the word “option'' in Para. 1 mean?A.It means ''idea".B.
