Human language is not restricted by the 'here' and 'now' as animal communication is; we can virtually talk about anything we want, including what happened in the past, what is going to happen in the future, what is not existent in the immediate surroundings and even what we imagine.33、A pair of sound combinations which are identical in every way except one sound, e.g. /pit/ and /bit/.34、Affixes added to an existing form to create a new word ,e.g. in-,-er 35、Syntax is a subfield of linguistics that studies the sentence structure of language, and it consists of a set of rules that allow words to be combined with other words to form grammatical sentences.36、Language transfer is a phenomenon that L2 learners subconsciously use their L1 knowledge in their learning process.37、Hyponymy refers to the sense relation between a more specific word and a more general, more inclusive word. The former is included in the latter. For example, a cat is a hyponym of animal.38、Sentence meaning refers to the intrinsic property of the sentence itself in terms of a predication. It is abstract and decontextualized. For example, semantic analysis of the sentence meaning of "The bag is heavy" results in theone-place predication BAG (BEING HEAVY).39、A lingua franca is a variety of language that serves as a medium of communication among groups of people of diverse linguistic backgrounds. For this reason, a lingua franca must be an agree-upon "common tongue" used by people thrown into social contact for various purposes, such as for social or commercial purposes.40、Cerebral cortex is the outside surface of the brain, the decision-making organ of the body, receiving messages from all sensory organs and initiating all voluntary actions. Many of the cognitive abilities that distinguish humans from other mammals, such as sophisticated reasoning, linguistic skills, and musical ability, are believed to reside in the cortex.五、论述题（本大题共2小题，每小题10分，共20分）41、Sociological triggers for language change refer to such radical socio-political changes as wars, invasions, occupation,colonialization, and language planning and standardization policies. A typical example in the history of English is the Norman Conquest, a military event that marked the dawning of the Middle English period. This means that Middle English began with the arrival of the Norman French invaders in English under William the Conqueror in 1066. And for about a century and a half after the Norman Conquest, French remained as the language of the ruling class, as far as literature and administration were concerned. So Middle English was deeply influenced by Norman French in vocabulary and grammar. For example, such terms as "army," "court," "defense," "faith," "prison" and "tax" came from the language of the French rulers.评分标准：满分10分，其中定义占3分，典型例子占5分，例词占2分。

Popper argued that the way science advances is by scientistscontinuously putting forth bold theories and then trying their hardest to falsify or refute those theories through stringent testing. If the theories withstand serious attempts at falsification, they are provisionally retained. But if they are falsified by observable evidence, they must be rejected or revised.This seemed backwards to me at first. Isn't the goal of science to ultimately arrive at profound truths about the universe through empirical investigation? Why would Popper claim that science doesn't deal in ultimate truths at all, but merely erecting theoretical structures that have so far withstood our efforts to knock them down? Asserting that science progresses "from error to error" seems like an awfully pessimistic view.However, the more I studied Popper's critical rationalism, the more I came to see the wisdom and importance of his ideas. Popper was reacting against the rigid empiricism and verificationism of the logical positivists who demanded that scientific knowledge be proven with certainty through pure observation and inductive reasoning. Popper rightly pointed out that this is an unrealistic and unattainable standard. No matter how many observations seem to confirm a theory, it can never be proven with total certainty because there is always the possibility of a future observation that contradicts and falsifies it.Instead, Popper argued that scientific theories can only ever be provisionally retained as being the best explanations we have so far until contradictory evidence emerges. This forces scientists to hold even their most cherished theories tentatively and be willing to modify or abandon them if the observable evidence demands it. As Popper put it, "The old scientific ideal of episteme – of absolutely certain, demonstrable knowledge – has proved to be an idol. The demand for scientific objectivity makes it inevitable that every scientific statement must remain tentative for ever."What I really grew to appreciate about Popper's philosophy is that it encourages a mindset of constant critical scrutiny, skepticism of dogma, and willingness to change one's views in the face of new evidence. This is the essence of the true scientific temperament – to never cling stubbornly to ideas just because we want them to be true, but to always follow the path of reason and observable reality wherever it leads.Popper used the vivid metaphor of scientists as unwitting "randy plank-builders" who devise bold theoretical planks to cross the ocean of the unknown. They build their plank as far out as they dare, secured only by the flimsiest anchor of tested knowledge, constantly extending it outwards to explore newdomains. But they must always be ready to demolish or modify their plank if it doesn't hold up to rigorous testing.To Popper, science advances by this constant process of conjectures and refutations. We put forth daring conjectures or hypotheses that attempt to explain aspects of reality. We then expose these conjectures to the most strenuous attempts at refutation that we can devise through precise observation and experimentation. Those theories that do get falsified are discarded as errors, while the survivors are retained – but only tentatively until contradicted. In this way, science progresses not by proving absolute truths, but by discarding error after error in favor of better approximations of the truth.The history of science is replete with examples of dominant theories that were later overturned or modified through bold conjectures and rigorous refutation. The geocentric model of the universe reigned for centuries until it was falsified by the heliocentric model of Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler. Newton's classical physics stood as the paramount theory until it was superseded in certain domains by Einstein's theories of relativity. The idea of the immutable gene was eventually overturned by our understanding of genetic mutation, horizontal gene transfer, and epigenetic expression.Each new scientific revolution involved daring scientists putting forth bold conjectures that contradicted and ultimately falsified the old paradigms through painstaking empirical scrutiny. As Popper said, "Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve."So in this light, science doesn't progress linearly towards final truths, but in fitful bursts, zigs and zags as old errors are discarded for newer and more empirically adequate conjectures. Popper likened it to a Socratic discussion where we continually uncover problems and revise our theories through the provocation of new arguments and careful refutation.There is undoubtedly a sense of provisionality and humility in Popper's view – we can never attain perfect, certain truth, only contingent approximations subject to revision. But I've come to see this as a strength rather than a weakness of science. It means our scientific knowledge remains flexible, open to change, and deeply rooted in observable reality rather than rigid doctrine. As Popper said, "The autonomy of science, guaranteed by incessant criticism and forever undergoing risk to survive, provides the firmest security system for science."So after studying Popper at length, I've come to embrace his perspective of science as boldly conjecturing solutions and then striving indefatigably to criticize and refute those solutions. By eliminating errors one by one, and revising our theories to account for contradictory evidence, science advances step by step towards fuller and more empirically robust explanations of the observable world. We may never attain ultimate truth, but we can progressively shed error after error in its pursuit.篇2Scientific Discovery: Popper's View of Progressing from Error to TruthAs students of science, we are taught from an early age that the scientific method is the path to uncovering objective truths about the natural world. We dutifully memorize the steps - make an observation, form a hypothesis, design an experiment to test the hypothesis, analyze the results, and draw a conclusion. If our results support the hypothesis, we consider it to be a valid theory that explains the phenomenon we investigated.However, the renowned philosopher of science Karl Popper held a radically different view of how scientific knowledge advances. In his seminal work "The Logic of Scientific Discovery,"Popper argued that the classical scientific method is fundamentally flawed because it is impossible to prove a theory is true through observations or experiments, no matter how much data we collect supporting it. Instead, Popper proposed that science progresses by continually attempting to falsify or disprove accepted theories through rigorous testing.Popper's core premise is that no number of confirming observations or experiments can establish a scientific theory as true with absolute certainty. This is because it is always possible that a future observation or test could arise that contradicts the theory. For example, physicists once considered Newtonian mechanics to be an unassailable truth based on centuries of observations that aligned with its principles. However, this theory was later shown to be incomplete and only an approximation through experiments that revealed the bizarre nature of physics at the quantum scale.Instead of naively seeking to prove theories true, Popper advocated for scientists to approach theories as permanent sources of potential error or falsehoods that must be ruthlessly scrutinized. A theory can only be considered scientifically valuable if it is inherently falsifiable - meaning it generatestestable predictions or premises that could reveal the theory to be false if contradictory evidence emerges.Through this process of "surviving" strenuous attempts at falsification, Popper believed that theories could provisionally be accepted as closer approximations of the truth, but never proven to be perfect or complete representations of reality. Each failed attempt to falsify strengthens a theory's credibility and explanatory power, but it is always subject to being revised or discarded if future observations reveal flaws.For example, Einstein's theory of relativity made very precise, quantifiable predictions about phenomena like the bending of light by gravitational fields. When astronomers observed stars positioned precisely where Einstein's equations predicted during a solar eclipse, it was considered a falsification of Newton's established laws. However, rather than taking this as final proof, scientists have continued rigorously testing relativity for over a century through experiments probing the theory's limits in more extreme scenarios. The theory remains unchallenged, but open to being potentially superseded.From Popper's perspective, science self-corrects and progresses through a Darwinian competition amongst theories to survive increasingly stringent tests. The fittest theories live on,being further refined by new evidence, while flawed or limited theories are culled from the body of accepted scientific knowledge.By adopting this critical mindset of potential falsification, Popper felt science could avoid falling into dogmatism and blind allegiance to potentially flawed axioms or doctrines, as he believed had occurred in fields like Freudian psychoanalysis and Marxist economic theory. Instead, an enduring culture of scrutiny and openness to revising even our most fundamental beliefs in light of new evidence is vital for expanding the frontiers of human knowledge.Popper used the example of Einstein's revolutionary theory of relativity displacing long-held notions of absolute space and time to illustrate how truly transformative scientific breakthroughs often originate from admitting the flaws in existing paradigms. He argued that if Einstein had merely sought confirmations of Newton's teachings, he would never have conceived such a radically different perspective.Of course, not all students may find Popper's philosophy of science intuitive or appealing. Critics argue that his emphasis on seeking falsifications rather than verifications is an unnecessary constraint that could actually impede scientific progress. If weare overly preoccupied with finding reasons why theories might be wrong, we may fail to thoroughly explore and expand upon their useful applications and predictive power.Additionally, some contend that Popper's falsification principle sets an unrealistic standard, as it is effectively impossible to definitively rule out any theory with 100% certainty through a finite set of observations or experiments. There will always be some possibility that future evidence could revive a theory previously considered falsified.Nonetheless, Popper's overarching emphasis on maintaining a critical, skeptical attitude and willingness to challenge even our most deeply held assumptions resonates with many scholars. His philosophy reminds us that no scientific theory, no matter how comprehensive or well-established, should be blindly accepted as infallible truth. There must always be space for new evidence and ideas to emerge that could revolutionize our understanding, or even expose folly in long-accepted tenets.As students, we would be wise to embrace Popper's humble perspective that all scientific knowledge is inherently provisional, incomplete, and open to revision through a process of continual error-correction. Each theory we learn represents the culmination of accumulated scrutiny withstanding arduousattempts at falsification by generations of inquisitive minds. However, these theories should not be dogmas etched in stone, but subjected to the same critical evaluation that allowed them to displace previous flawed models.Ultimately, Popper viewed science not as a linear pursuit of proving universal truths, but as an evolutionary process of discarding errors and developing ever-closer approximations of how the natural world operates. By treating even our most compelling theories as potential sources of error to scrutinize, we open the doors for superior explanations to emerge and our collective understanding to progress. Science advances not through perfection, but by paradoxically admitting the permanence of imperfection in our theories, and seeking to identify and correct those flaws.篇3From Error to Truth: Karl Popper's Revolutionary View on Scientific DiscoveryAs students of science, we are often taught that the scientific method is a logical and systematic process of formulating hypotheses, conducting experiments, and using empirical evidence to accept or reject those hypotheses. However, therenowned philosopher Karl Popper challenged this conventional view, proposing a radically different perspective on how scientific discoveries are made. In his seminal work, "The Logic of Scientific Discovery," Popper argued that scientific progress is not a linear accumulation of knowledge but rather a continuous process of trial and error, where theories are constantly subjected to rigorous testing and potential falsification.At the heart of Popper's philosophy lies the principle of falsifiability. According to Popper, a theory or hypothesis is scientific only if it is formulated in such a way that it can be empirically tested and potentially proven false. This criterion distinguishes science from pseudoscience, which often relies on unfalsifiable claims or explanations that are immune to refutation. Popper believed that the true essence of science lies not in the process of verifying theories but in the earnest attempt to falsify them through rigorous experimentation and observation.Popper's revolutionary idea challenged the widely accepted inductivist approach, which held that scientific knowledge is built upon repeated observations and the gradual accumulation of evidence supporting a theory. Instead, he proposed a deductive approach, where scientists start with bold conjectures orhypotheses and then subject them to the most stringent tests possible in an attempt to find flaws or counterexamples. If a theory withstands these tests, it is provisionally accepted, but it is always open to further scrutiny and potential falsification by new evidence.One of the key implications of Popper's philosophy is that scientific progress is driven by a continuous cycle of proposing theories, subjecting them to critical tests, and refining or replacing them with better explanations when they are falsified. This process is often referred to as the "trial and error" method, where scientists learn from their mistakes and use them as stepping stones to advance their understanding of the world.Popper's ideas have had a profound impact on the philosophy of science and have influenced generations of scientists across various disciplines. His emphasis on falsifiability has encouraged researchers to formulate precise and testable hypotheses, rather than vague or unfalsifiable claims. It has also fostered a culture of critical thinking and skepticism, where theories are constantly challenged and scrutinized, rather than accepted dogmatically.Moreover, Popper's philosophy has shed light on the inherent fallibility of scientific knowledge. Unlike the traditionalview of science as a steady accumulation of proven facts, Popper recognized that all scientific theories are provisional and subject to revision or replacement in light of new evidence or better explanations. This acknowledgment of the provisional nature of scientific knowledge has encouraged humility andopen-mindedness among scientists, as well as a willingness to adapt and embrace new paradigms when warranted.Critics of Popper's philosophy have argued that the strict application of falsifiability can lead to the premature rejection of promising theories or the inability to falsify certain theories due to practical limitations. Additionally, some have pointed out that the process of theory formulation and testing is not as clear-cut as Popper suggested, and that various psychological, social, and historical factors can influence the development of scientific knowledge.Despite these criticisms, Popper's ideas remain influential and have inspired a rich tradition of critical rationalism in science. His emphasis on the fallibility of human knowledge and the importance of subjecting theories to rigorous testing has contributed to the self-correcting nature of science and its ability to overcome dogmatism and stagnation.As students of science, we can learn valuable lessons from Popper's philosophy. First, we must embrace a spirit of critical inquiry and be willing to challenge our own preconceptions and biases. Secondly, we should strive to formulate precise and falsifiable hypotheses, recognizing that the true progress of science lies in the potential for our theories to be refuted and replaced by better explanations. Thirdly, we should cultivate a sense of humility and acknowledge that our current understanding of the world is always provisional and subject to revision in the face of new evidence or insights.By embracing Popper's revolutionary perspective, we can appreciate the dynamic and self-correcting nature of science, where discoveries emerge not from the gradual accumulation of facts but from the continuous cycle of proposing bold conjectures, subjecting them to rigorous testing, and learning from our errors. It is through this process of trial and error that we can advance our understanding of the world and move ever closer to the elusive goal of truth.。

英语四级作文三段套路英文回答：In the realm of language acquisition, the importance of acquiring both receptive and productive language skills cannot be overstated. Receptive skills involve understanding spoken and written language, while productive skills entail expressing oneself effectively in both modalities. To achieve a comprehensive grasp of a language, it is imperative to cultivate both sets of skills concurrently.When it comes to receptive language skills, listening and reading are the primary avenues for acquiring information. Listening comprehension involves deciphering the meaning of spoken language, while reading comprehension entails comprehending written text. By engaging inattentive listening exercises and delving into written materials, learners can expand their vocabulary, enhance their understanding of grammar, and develop a deeperappreciation for the nuances of the target language.Productive language skills, on the other hand, empower individuals to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively. Speaking and writing are the two main channels through which productive language is expressed. Speaking involves the verbalization of thoughts and ideas, while writing entails the transcription of thoughts and ideasinto written form. By actively engaging in speaking and writing exercises, learners can hone their pronunciation, improve their sentence structure, and develop their ability to convey their messages clearly and concisely.中文回答：段落1：学习一门语言，听和读是非常重要的。

语言中的性别偏见语言是一个非常强大的元素。

它是沟通最常用的方法。

然而，语言常常被误解和曲解，因为语言是一个有着大量细微差别的非常复杂的机制。

有时候当和某个人交谈时，我们必须考虑此人的语言谱系。

有些人使用的语言被认为带有偏见。

这带来了关于语言使用的问题：是语言导致了偏见还是语言只是使用者一直存在的偏见的反映？有人相信我们在日常对话中使用的语言本身就是带有偏见的。

比如，他们感到“mailman”这个词就是排除了女性邮递员的。

还有人认为语言是人们内心偏见的反映。

也就是说，人们在对话中选择使用的词汇就代表着他们内在的偏见。

英语语言中曾经存在过，目前仍然有一些固有的对女性性别歧视的词语（有些词因为“政治上正确”浪潮的到来已经发生了改变）。

比如，(在Merriam-Webster字典中) 那个调查（来自学生或消费者的）书面投诉，把发现写成报告，协助达成公平公正协议的人是“ombudsman”，但是在印第安那州立大学使用的词是“ombudsperson”。

这是一个在英语语言中存在性别偏见的例子。

语言上的安排使得男性等同于地位尊贵，而女性则是被男性支配和命令的服务型地位。

所以用来传递男性优越的语言通常反映了男性的优势地位和女性的从属地位。

甚至在关系中，家里的男性通常就被认为是“当家人”，哪怕是一个四岁的孩子。

一个四岁的男孩，仅仅因为他的性别，就比他的可能接受过高等教育并且智商很高的妈妈更合格和更有能力处理家里的各种事务，这样的说法很侮辱人。

这种情形中肯定存在不平等。

在美国文化里，女人的价值在于她身体的魅力，而男人的价值在于他的体力和成就。

在配对词的例子中偏见是很明显的。

男性的词总是放在女性的词的前面，比如以下例子：Mr. and Mrs., his and hers, boys and girls, men and women, kings and queens, brothers and sisters, guys and dolls, and host and hostess. 这显示了许多英语词汇的用法也是造成英语语言中存在偏见的因素。

Passion is the fuel that ignites the fire of ambition,propelling individuals towards their dreams and aspirations.It is an intangible force that can light up the darkest of corners,bringing hope and determination to those who embrace it.In the realm of English composition,passion can be the driving force that makes a piece of writing not just a collection of words,but a vibrant and inspiring narrative that resonates with readers.When crafting an English essay that radiates with passion,one must first identify the subject matter that ignites their inner fire.This could be anything from a personal hobby, a social cause,or a historical event that has left an indelible mark on the world.The key is to choose a topic that stirs deep emotions and provokes thought.Once the topic is selected,the next step is to delve into research.Gathering a wealth of information not only adds credibility to the essay but also helps in uncovering facets of the subject that can further fuel the writers passion.This research should be thorough and wellorganized,ensuring that the essay is wellinformed and presents a comprehensive view of the topic.The structure of the essay plays a crucial role in conveying passion effectively.A wellorganized essay with a clear introduction,body,and conclusion helps in maintaining the readers interest and guiding them through the writers journey of passion.The introduction should set the tone by presenting a captivating statement or question that piques the readers curiosity.The body paragraphs should delve into the subject matter, presenting arguments,evidence,and personal insights that reflect the writers passion. Each paragraph should flow seamlessly into the next,creating a cohesive narrative that holds the readers attention.The use of language is another critical element in writing a passionate essay.The choice of words,tone,and style should reflect the writers emotions and enthusiasm for the subject.Descriptive language,metaphors,and similes can be used to paint a vivid picture and evoke strong emotions in the reader.The tone should be consistent,whether it is persuasive,reflective,or analytical,and it should align with the writers passion for the subject.In addition to the written content,the essay should also showcase the writers passion through their commitment to the writing process.This includes revising and editing the essay multiple times to ensure that it is free from errors and effectively communicates the intended message.The writer should also be open to feedback and willing to make changes that enhance the overall quality and impact of the essay.Finally,a passionate English essay should leave a lasting impression on the reader.Itshould inspire them to think,feel,and perhaps even take action on the subject matter.The conclusion of the essay should summarize the main points and leave the reader with a thoughtprovoking statement or question that encourages further reflection.In conclusion,writing a passionate English essay involves selecting a topic that ignites the writers emotions,conducting thorough research,organizing the content effectively, using powerful language,and committing to the writing process.By following these steps, a writer can create an essay that not only shines with passion but also has the potential to inspire and influence others.。
