A language is a signaling system which operates with symbolic vocal sounds(语声), and which is used by a group of people for the purpose of communication.Let’s look at this 26 in more detail because it is language, more than anything else, 27
distinguishes(区分) man from the rest of the 28 world.Other animals, it is true, communicate with one another by 29 of cries: for example, many birds utter(发出) 30 calls at the approach of danger; monkeys utter 31 cries, such as expressions of anger, fear and pleasure. 32 these various means of communication differ in important ways 33 human language. For instance, animals’ cries do not 34 thoughts and feelings clearly. This means basically, that they lack structure. They lack the kind of structure that 35 us to divide a human utterance into 36.
We can change an utterance by 37 one word in it with 38 : a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g., “tanks approaching from the north”, 39 who can change one word and say “aircraft approaching from the north” or “tanks approaching from the west”; but a bird has a single alarm cry, 40 means “danger!”
This is why the number of 41 that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit(山雀) is a case 42 point; it has about twenty different calls, 43 in human language the number of possible utterances is 44 . It also explains why animal cries are very 45 in meaning.

III. 阅读理解
In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation(卫生) and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime.
The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay.
One possible solution to the problem would be to impose(实行) registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce(推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment(不满), which would ultimately lead to violence.
The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of the rural area.
46．What does the word “urban” (Line3, Para. 3) mean?
A．Of the city. B．Out of work.
C．In a bad condition. D．Of enormous size.
47．Large numbers of farmers have poured into towns because _
A．they can hardly support their families on farms.
B．they are unhappy with their life in the country
C．the rural areas are too crowded with people
D．they hope to have their own business
48．In the author’s view, solving the cities’ problem of overcrowding by strict registrations is ____
A．practical B．possible C．not realistic D．not sufficient
49．According to the writer, the problem with crowded cities will be solved if ________.
A．traditional methods of farming are well kept
B．conditions in rural areas are much improved
C．the government can provide more jobs
D．violence could be controlled in cities
