Of the many sports players, I like Liu Xiang best. After he won the gold medal in 110 meter hurdles at 2004 Olympic Games, Liu Xiang became the idol in my heart. He is worth the title of “the person who moves Chinese in 2004”.2. Information Related To The Texti.EskimosAny member of a group of peoples who, with the closely related Aleut, constitute the chief element in the native population of the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Greenland, Alaska, Canada, and far eastern Russia.Self-designations vary among the languages and dialects of the Eskimo peoples.They include such names as Inuit, Inupiat, Yupik, and Alutiit, each of which is a regional variant of “the people” or the “real people.” The oldest known Eskimoculture is that from a site on Umnak Island in the Aleutians, for which an age of 3,018 (plus or minus 230) years was recorded. In the late 20th century there were an estimated 17,000 self-described Eskimo: some 51,000 in Greenland and Denmark, 43,000 in Alaska, 21,000 in Canada, and about 1,6000 in Siberia.Traditional Eskimo culture was totally adapted to an extremely cold, snow-and icebound environment in which vegetable foods were almost nonexistent , trees were scarce, and caribou , seal, walrus, and whale meat, and fish were the major food sources. Dogsleds were the basic means of transport on land. Eskimo clothing was fashioned of caribou furs, which provided protection against the extreme cold. In summer many Eskimos lived in animal-skin tents. Their basic social and economic unit was the nuclear family, and their religion was animistic.ii. HollandHistorical region of the Netherlands, divided since 1840 into the provinces of Noord-holland (north Holland) and Zuid-holland). It constitutes the flat, low-lying northwestern portion of the modern country.Holland originated in the early 12th century as a fief of Holy Roman Empire and was ruled by a dynasty of counts that traced its origin to the 9th century. These nobles had reemerged in the 10th century after Viking devastation of the coastal area had ended, and they proceeded to expand their territory of present Noord-Holland northward, at the expense of the Frisians, and eastward and southward, which involved them in a series of wars with the bishops of Utrecht.The name Holland was derived from the region around Dordrecht, which was known as Holtland(“wooden land”).3.

M: Aren't you going to swim?[00:57.18]We drove fifty miles to come here not just for a sunbath.[01:00.92]W: Are you kidding?

Thanks for inviting me![01:36.81]Q: What kind of place are the two speakers probably going to?[01:56.63]14. M: Make sure I'm up before you go to work, will you?[02:00.37]I've got a quiz at ten.[02:02.01]W: I'll try, but when seven o'clock comes around,[02:05.86]don't forget you asked me to wake you.[02:09.46]Q: What can be inferred from the conversation?[02:28.04]15. W: Let's catch the bus to university today.[02:32.74]M: No way. It's too slow. I want to catch a cab instead.[02:37.49]Q: What's the probable relationship between the two speakers?[02:58.46]16. W: Is that optional course as hard as everybody says?[03:04.13]M: Exactly, even worse, believe it or not.[03:07.46]Q: What does the man say about the course?[03:26.82]17. W: Let me see. Here are two pairs of slacks, one lady's skirt,[03:34.31]and one man's overcoat.[03:36.98]M: And this sport shirt, too.

M: How did you like yesterday's play?[04:07.01]W: Generally speaking, it was quite good.[04:10.10]The part of secretary was played wonderfully,[04:13.18]but I think the man[04:14.71]who played the boss was too dramatic to be realistic.[04:19.23]Q: How does the woman feel about the man's acting in the play?[04:37.95]Now you'll hear the two long conversations.[04:40.88]Conversation One[04:43.39]W: Excuse me, Dr. Tyler, your secretary said I should come right in. [04:48.35]M: Please do, Jenny. How can I help you?[04:50.85]W: I need to get your signature on my schedule card here,[04:54.46]on the line above advisor's approval.[04:57.33]M: Sure, but let's look it over together first.[05:00.33]How many courses do you have here?[05:02.04]W: Six.[05:02.80]M: Six?

[05:34.41]M: Two seminars? That is rather a lot.[05:37.19]Can you handle the work?[05:38.71]W: I think so.

How can I help you?[07:26.85]M: Yes, I'd like to return this sweater for a refund.[07:29.83]I bought it a week ago.[07:31.61]W: Well, first of all, what seems to be the problem?[07:35.35]M: Well, isn't it obvious by just looking at it?[07:38.30]The first time I washed and dried it,[07:40.27]the thing shrank at least five sizes.[07:42.80]It wouldn't even fit a snake.[07:44.87]W: Uh, I see what you mean,[07:47.00]but did you follow the washing instructions?[07:50.18]I think it says here... yeah... right here on the label[07:53.88]to hand wash it and then to dry it on low heat.[07:57.78]M: How was I supposed to know that?[07:59.42]The label is written in Chinese![08:01.46]And something else:[08:02.70]the color faded from a nice dark blue to a seaweed green.[08:06.69]What kind of merchandise are you trying to sell here anyway?[08:09.85]W: Listen, sir. We take a lot of pride in our clothing.[08:14.07]What I can do is allow you to exchange the sweater for another one. [08:18.36]M: I don't want to exchange it for anything![08:20.24]I just want my money back![08:21.90]W: Well, I can give you credit on your next purchase,[08:25.13]and since the item you purchased was on clearance,[08:28.18]we can't give you a refund.[08:30.46]M: A clearance item! There wasn't anything on the price tag[08:33.39]or on the clothing rack that said anything about that.[08:36.23]W: I guess you didn't read the fine print in our ad.[08:39.57]Look. Here's the ad, and the information[08:42.65]about the clearance sale is right here[08:44.88]at the bottom on the back page.[08:47.62]M: Where? There? What? That small print.[08:52.72]You'd need an electronic microscope to see those words.[08:56.72]Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. [09:03.44]23.

Which is one of the reasons mentioned[09:51.38]why the sales clerk can't help the customer with his request?[10:12.15]Section B[10:13.30]Passage One[10:14.82]The secret of a long and happy marriage appears[10:18.08]to be not to expect too much from it.[10:21.11]Far better, US researchers say,[10:23.68]to aim low to ensure you are not disappointed.[10:27.39]The key to keeping that newlywed glow[10:30.43]appears to be forgiveness and communication.[10:34.08]The study by researchers from Ohio and Florida Universities[10:38.63]looked at 82 couples.[10:40.71]They quizzed all the spouses independently over four years.[10:45.17]Writing in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,[10:49.62]researchers led by James McNulty,[10:52.25]professor of psychology at Ohio University, said:[10:55.95]"In contrast to the idea that expectations[10:59.73]in the early years of marriage exert main effects[11:02.97]on satisfaction, the current findings suggest[11:06.13]that the effects of expectations interact with the skills[11:09.72]partners bring to their relationships."[11:12.82]The study also found that people tend to select like-minded partners [11:17.79]who they believe will be able to maintain a stable relationship. [11:22.18]The finding contradicts the old belief that opposites attract. [11:26.90]Instead, the US researchers said[11:29.32]people looking for long-term relationships[11:32.31]should select partners who were similar to themselves,[11:35.61]rather than seeking out the highest quality partner available.[11:40.97]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard. [11:47.56]26. What is the key to a happy marriage according to the study? [12:09.60]27. How many people are investigated in the study?[12:30.71]28. Which is the belief of the researchers?[12:51.57]Passage Two[12:53.94]Do you have a tough math test coming up?[12:57.13]Then listen to some classical piano music just before the test.[13:01.88]You might end up with a higher score.[13:05.37]Researchers at a university in California conducted an experiment.[13:10.75]They asked a group of college students to listen to some piano music[13:15.15]by a famous 18th century composer before taking a math test.[13:20.88]They were surprised to find that the students' scores jumped 8 to 9 points. [13:26.84]The music seems to excite nerve activities in the brain[13:30.53]similar to the activity that occurs[13:32.85]when a person is figuring out a math problem.[13:36.02]However, the scientists warn that[13:38.25]before you get too excited about applying this method to your math test, [13:42.62]you should remember[13:44.14]that brain-exciting effects last only 10 to 15 minutes.[13:49.41]Would rock music work as well as the piano music did?[13:52.90]No, the scientists say. In fact,[13:56.05]the less complex music might even interfere[13:59.23]with the brain's reasoning ability.[14:03.35]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.[14:10.03]29. What is this passage mainly about?[14:30.84]30. Why can classical music play a positive role in problem solving?[14:52.08]31. What is one of the findings of the research?[15:12.74]Passage Three[15:14.22]"Where is the University?" is the question[15:16.81]many visitors to Cambridge ask,[15:19.29]but no one could point them in any one direction[15:22.38]because there is no campus.[15:24.40]The university consists of 31 self-governing colleges.[15:28.95]It has lecture halls, libraries, laboratories,[15:32.39]museums and offices throughout the city.[15:35.99]Individual colleges choose their own students,[15:39.89]who have to meet the minimum entrance requirements[15:42.67]set by the university.[15:44.87]Undergraduates usually live and study in their colleges,[15:48.61]where they are taught in very small groups.[15:51.25]Lectures and laboratory and practical work are organized[15:54.54]by the university and held in university buildings.[15:58.99]There are over 10,000 undergraduates and 3,500 postgraduates.[16:04.66]About 40 percent of them are women[16:06.68]and some 8 percent from overseas.[16:09.62]As well as teaching, research is of major importance.[16:13.61]Since the beginning of the 20th century,[16:16.14]more than 60 university members have won Nobel Prizes.[16:21.03]The university has a huge number of buildings[16:23.61]for teaching and research.[16:26.09]It has more than 60 specialized subject libraries,[16:30.55]as well as the University Library,[16:32.73]which, as a copyright library,[16:35.26]is entitled to a copy of every book published in Britain.[16:39.77]Examinations are set and degrees are awarded by the university.[16:44.66]It allowed women to take the university exams in 1881,[16:49.11]but it was not until 1948 that they were awarded degrees.[16:55.33]Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.[17:02.42]32. Why is it difficult for visitors to locate Cambridge University?[17:24.42]33. What does the passage tell us about the colleges of Cambridge University? [17:46.30]34. What can be learned from the passage about the libraries[17:51.36]in Cambridge University?[18:08.91]35. What does the passage say about women students in Cambridge University?[18:32.40]Section C Compound Dictation[18:36.49]Academy Award nominees (被提名的人)[18:38.52]who go home empty-handed[18:40.90]may not have a shiny Oscar to show off,[18:43.83]but they may turn out to be the bigger winners in the game of life.[18:48.34]According to a study published in British Medical Journal,[18:52.57]Oscar-winning screenwriters are more successful,[18:56.17]more productive and more respected than losing nominees;[19:00.77]however, they die sooner by about four years.[19:05.54]"Because success is usually linked to better health,[19:09.39]this is the first occupation[19:11.36]that success is not associated with improved longevity."[19:15.97]Says Donald Redelmeier, lead author of the study.[19:20.69]Research tracked down information about every person[19:24.43]who was ever nominated for an Oscar[19:27.08]since the awards were first handed out 73 years ago.[19:32.12]To explain the puzzling findings, he offered two theories.[19:36.93]The first is the "work-to-death hypothesis (假设)".[19:40.83]According to Redelmeier, screenwriters[19:43.71]are more apt to lead unhealthy lifestyles,[19:46.84]meaning they smoke more, exercise less,[19:49.93]and work a lot of late-night hours,[19:52.57]which translates into not enough sleep.[19:55.95]Screenwriters don't have a boss to report to,[19:59.00]which brings into account Redelmeier's second explanation,[20:02.77]the "party-hearty hypothesis."[20:06.21]"When you become a successful screenwriter,[20:08.73]you gain status without daily accountability (生计),[20:12.62]and as a consequence your success may lead you[20:15.85]to more alcohol, more parties, and more fatness."[20:19.80]He says.[20:22.77]Now the passage will be read again.[20:25.54]Academy Award nominees (被提名的人)[20:27.57]who go home empty-handed[20:29.34]may not have a shiny Oscar to show off,[20:32.83]but they may turn out to be the bigger winners in the game of life. [20:37.65]According to a study published in British Medical Journal,[20:41.54]Oscar-winning screenwriters are more successful,[20:45.19]more productive and more respected than losing nominees;[20:49.63]however, they die sooner by about four years.[20:54.49]"Because success is usually linked to better health,[20:58.33]this is the first occupation[21:00.64]that success is not associated with improved longevity."[21:05.24]Says Donald Redelmeier, lead author of the study.[21:09.77]Research tracked down information about every person[21:13.66]who was ever nominated for an Oscar[21:16.21]since the awards were first handed out 73 years ago.[21:21.37]To explain the puzzling findings, he offered two theories.[22:28.26]The first is the "work-to-death hypothesis (假设)".[22:32.31]According to Redelmeier, screenwriters[22:34.99]are more apt to lead unhealthy lifestyles,[22:38.23]meaning they smoke more, exercise less,[22:41.57]and work a lot of late-night hours,[22:43.95]which translates into not enough sleep.[23:48.25]Screenwriters don't have a boss to report to,[23:51.20]which brings into account Redelmeier's second explanation,[23:55.07]the "party-hearty hypothesis."[23:58.41]"When you become a successful screenwriter,[24:00.85]you gain status without daily accountability (生计),[24:04.79]and as a consequence your success may lead you[24:08.13]to more alcohol, more parties, and more fatness."[24:12.13]He says.[25:16.60]Now the passage will be read for the third time.[25:20.24]Academy Award nominees (被提名的人)[25:22.25]who go home empty-handed[25:24.18]may not have a shiny Oscar to show off,[25:27.61]but they may turn out to be the bigger winners in the game of life.

M: What a wonderful day![00:52.18]Shall we have a picnic?[00:53.96]W: Well, don't you think going swimming is a better choice? [00:58.30]Q: What does the woman mean?[01:16.15]13. M: Hello, Kate. It's Dan.[01:19.47]I just received the invitation to your party.[01:22.50]It's next Saturday night, 7:00 p.m.,[01:25.53]at 306 Liberty Lane, Champaign. Right?[01:28.83]W: Well, I'm sorry.[01:30.30]There're some printed mistakes in the invitation.[01:34.14]The time is the next Sunday night , 7:30 p.m.[01:39.54]Q: What is the accurate time for the party?[01:57.98]14. W: How about an evening gown?[02:01.99]These are all from Paris.[02:04.08]M: No. My mum has very good taste in clothes.[02:07.12]I don't want to take the risk.[02:09.51]Q: What does the man imply?[02:27.78]15. W: What have you got there?[02:31.43]M: It's my sun lamp.[02:32.87]I'm taking it down to the electric shop to be fixed. [02:36.06]There's something wrong with the wiring.[02:37.89]It blows fuses whenever I plug it in.[02:40.98]Q: Where is the man going?[02:59.60]16. M: I haven't got my scores on the GRE test yet.[03:04.68]Do you think I should call to make inquiries?[03:07.10]W: There is no hurry.[03:08.49]The test scores are released at least 8 weeks after the test.[03:13.65]Q: What does the woman advise the man to do?[03:32.41]17. M: What a stupid guy! A real troublemaker![03:36.76]W: Yeah! He can't do anything right.[03:39.89]He knows nothing about this business.[03:42.54]I can't figure out how he got in this company.[03:46.05]Q: Who are they probably talking about?[04:04.67]18. M: Have you finished reading the book you bought last month? [04:09.02]W: Oh, I didn't read it straight through the way you'd read a novel. [04:13.57]I just covered a few chapters that interested me most.[04:17.93]Q: How did the woman read the book?[04:36.87]Now you'll hear the two long conversations.[04:40.01]Conversation One[04:41.93]M: Hi, Diana. I'm surprised to see you on the city bus.[04:46.08]Your car in the shop?[04:47.84]W: No. I've just been thinking a lot about the environment lately. [04:52.20]So I decided the air will be a lot cleaner[04:55.13]if we all use public transport when we could.[04:58.16]M: I'm sure you are right.[04:59.57]The diesel bus isn't exactly pollution free.[05:02.61]W: True. They'll be running a lot cleaner soon.[05:06.10]We were just talking about that in my environmental engineering class. [05:10.65]M: What could the city do?[05:12.16]Install pollution filters in all their buses?[05:14.80]W: They could,[05:15.81]but those filters make the engines work harder[05:18.84]and really cut down on the fuel efficiency.[05:22.43]Instead, they found a way to make their engines more efficient.[05:26.60]M: How?[05:27.61]W: Well, there is a new insulator.[05:30.21]And you spray a thick coat of it on the engine.[05:33.19]M: An insulator?[05:34.66]W: Yeah. What it does is reflect back the heat of burning fuel. [05:40.17]So the fuel will burn much hotter and burn up more completely.[05:44.69]M: So a lot less unburned fuel comes out to pollute the air.[05:48.54]W: And the bus will need less fuel.[05:51.13]So with the saving on fuel cost,[05:53.56]they say this will all pay for itself in just six months.[05:58.51]Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard. [06:04.47]19. Why does Diana take a bus that day?[06:24.05]20. What is true about Diana?[06:42.55]21. What justifies the installation of a new insulator[06:47.61]in the buses according to Diana?[07:06.08]22. What is the major concern of the woman?[07:26.18]Conversation Two[07:27.96]M: Hi. I have a reservation for tonight.[07:30.55]My name is Charles Nelson.[07:32.28]W: Okay. Mr. Nelson.[07:33.80]That's a room for five under your name.[07:37.04]M: No. No. Hold on.[07:38.40]There must be some mistake.[07:40.02]W: Okay. Let's check this again.[07:43.31]Okay, Mr. Charles C. Nelson for tonight...[07:47.33]M: Ah. There's the problem.[07:48.94]My name is Charles Nelson, not Charles C. Nelson.[07:53.54]You must have two guests under the name.[07:55.92]W: Okay. Let me check this again.[07:58.95]Oh. Okay. Here we are.[08:01.56]Charles Nelson. A room for one for the 19th...[08:05.49]M: Wait, wait! It was for tonight.[08:07.39]Not tomorrow night.[08:08.76]W: Hum. Hum. I don't think we have any rooms for tonight.[08:14.87]There's a convention going on in town,[08:17.45]and uh, let's see. Yeah, no rooms.[08:21.96]Well. We do have some rooms under renovation[08:25.65]with just a roll-away bed.[08:27.88]None of the normal stuff like a TV or working shower or toilet.[08:32.53]M: Ah madam. Come on. There must be something else.[08:35.61]W: Well. Let me check my computer here.[08:38.65]Ah! There has been a cancellation for this evening.[08:43.10]A honeymoon suite is now available.[08:45.54]M: Great. I'll take it.[08:47.87]W: But I'll have to charge you two hundred fifty dollars for the night. [08:52.16]M: Ah. Madam. I should get a discount for the inconvenience.[08:56.16]W: Well. The best I can give you is a ten percent discount[09:00.56]plus a ticket for a free continental breakfast.[09:05.39]Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. [09:12.38]23. What was the first problem with the man's reservation?[09:34.26]24. Why was it hard to get a room that day?[09:54.97]25. What did the man get finally?[10:13.70]Section B[10:14.89]Passage One[10:16.20]Television now plays such an important part in so many people's lives [10:20.91]that it is essential for us to try to decide[10:23.93]whether it is a blessing or a curse.[10:26.73]Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.[10:31.30]But do the former outweigh the latter?[10:33.94]In the first place,[10:35.00]television is not only a convenient source of entertainment,[10:38.79]but also a comparatively cheap one.[10:41.89]They just sit comfortably at home[10:43.82]and enjoy endless series of programs[10:46.19]rather than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere.[10:49.88]Some people, however,[10:51.29]maintain that this is precisely where the danger lies.[10:55.03]The television viewer needs to do nothing.[10:57.89]He is completely passive and has everything presented to him[11:01.25]without any effort on his part.[11:03.92]Secondly, television keeps one informed about current events,[11:08.27]allows one to follow the latest developments[11:11.05]in science and politics.[11:12.87]Yet here again there is a danger.[11:15.47]The television screen itself has a terrible,[11:18.00]almost physical fascination for us.[11:20.85]We get so used to looking at its movements,[11:23.28]so dependent on its pictures that it begins to dominate our lives. [11:27.99]There are many other arguments for and against television.[11:31.74]The poor quality of its program is often criticized.[11:35.59]But it is undoubtedly a great comfort to many lonely elderly people. [11:40.59]And does it corrupt or instruct our children?[11:43.82]I think we must realize that television in itself[11:47.12]is neither good nor bad.[11:49.64]It is the uses to which it is put that determine its value to society. [11:56.47]Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.[12:02.83]26. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the disadvantages of TV? [12:25.86]27. What is the speaker's opinion of television?[12:47.50]28. What determines the value of television to society?[13:09.70]Passage Two[13:12.18]Beethoven probably began to go deaf in 1797,[13:17.29]but he tried to keep it a secret,[13:19.73]while consulting doctors and trying various remedies,[13:23.47]such as the application of almond oil.[13:26.80]He was extremely anxious about its possible effect[13:30.19]on his career as a musician,[13:32.57]and embarrassed by its effect on his social life.[13:36.20]In the summer of 1801 he wrote to two friends expressing the anxiety [13:42.04]that his best years would pass[13:44.52]"without my being able to achieve all that my talent[13:48.22]and my strength have commanded me to do".[13:51.61]Although tempted to kill himself,[13:53.98]"the only thing that held me back was my art.[13:57.90]For indeed it seemed to me impossible to leave this world[14:02.19]before I had produced all the works[14:04.77]that I felt the urge to compose".[14:07.75]It could be argued that Beethoven's deafness[14:11.10]helped the development of his art:[14:13.54]isolated from the world, and unable to perform,[14:17.28]he could devote all his time to composing.[14:20.97]In 1804 his friend Stephan von Breuning,[14:25.27]with whom he briefly shared lodgings,[14:27.75]wrote to Franz Wegler about the terrible effect[14:31.70]his gradual loss of hearing was having on Beethoven:[14:35.50]it had caused him to distrust his friends,[14:38.13]and he was becoming very difficult to be with.[14:41.82]But above all else, Beethoven was dedicated to his art[14:46.27]and the urge to compose remained with him throughout his life.[14:50.92]It may be that he shielded away from the commitment of marriage[14:55.31]because he knew it would interfere with his art.[15:00.27]Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard.[15:05.89]29. Why did Beethoven try to conceal his going deaf?[15:27.59]30. What was the result from Beethoven's gradual loss of hearing in 1804? [15:50.17]31. What do we know about Beethoven in this passage?[16:10.72]Passage Three[16:12.47]Over the years, new technologies have changed farming.[16:16.86]Change in a general direction is a trend.[16:20.21]Yet people often recognize trends[16:22.68]only when they consider the past.[16:25.36]Today, we look back at some trends in American agriculture.[16:29.66]In 1920, America had more than 25 million horses and mules.[16:35.23]Most were used for farm work.[16:37.70]Around the same time,[16:39.07]a competitor began to appear in large numbers.[16:42.81]Tractors could turn soil, pull loads and speed harvests[16:47.21]-and they could do it better.[16:48.99]More tractors meant fewer horses and mules.[16:52.23]By the 1960s, the numbers of these work animals settled[16:56.74]to where they remain today.[16:59.12]That is about one-tenth the levels in 1920.[17:03.12]Yet even the demand for tractors had its limits.[17:06.49]Their numbers have been slowly decreasing since 1982.[17:11.31]Experts say farmers can do more with less now[17:14.84]because of new technologies.[17:17.12]As tractors replaced horses and mules,[17:19.92]farmers no longer needed to raise crops to feed work animals.[17:24.62]Oats have long been food for horses and mules.[17:28.06]In 1954, American farmers planted[17:31.66]over sixteen million hectares of oats.[17:34.40]By 2000, that was down to less than one million hectares.[17:38.86]So what did the farmers do with the extra land?[17:41.80]More and more farmers began to plant a new crop[17:45.04]around the same time[17:46.36]that the tractor became popular. It was the soybean.[17:50.46]The soybean is one of the oldest plants harvested.[17:54.15]Yet it was not planted widely in the United States until the 1920s. [17:59.25]By the year 2000,[18:00.71]close to 30 million hectares were planted with soybeans.[18:04.56]It is the nation's most important crop[18:06.99]for high-protein animal feed and for vegetable oil.。

线性顺序与层次结构linear order and hierarchical structure英语句子是按一定顺序排列的。
句子的这种顺序是线性顺序。
改变顺序意思会发生变化。
这种关系也就是syntagmatic relation or positional relation\ chain relationIn the way of classification according to the word order, there are totally six possible types of language. They are SVO, VSO, SOV, OVS, OSV, VOS.各种语言的句子顺序是不同的。
英语是S-V-O语言，日语、土耳其语等是S-O-V语言，威尔士语和希伯莱等语言是V-S-O语言，也有些语言的主语、动词、宾语的顺序是自由的。
Why is it important to know the relations a sign has with others, such as syntagmatic and paradigmatic relations?As the relation between a signifier and its signified is arbitrary, the value of a sign cannot be determined by itself. To know the identity of a sign, the linguist will have to know the signs it is used together with and those it is substitutable for. The former relation is known as syntagmatic and the latter paradigmatic.The structural linguists regard linguistic units as interrelated with each other in a structure, not as isolated bits.What is the relation of substitutability? And relation of co-ocurrence?语言是交际的工具，人们在交际中说出的最短的话语至少是一个句子，这样才能表达比较完整的思想。
