4、1细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything.（有人指出，人类通过约定俗成可以使任何事物代表任何事物）”由此可知，语言是一种高度发达的符号系统，因为人类可以通过约定俗成使任何事物代表任何事物。故选D。2推理判断题。根据第二段中“Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain

5、, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in. （就像社会地位可以用头上戴的羽毛、手表链上的金子，或者根据我们所处的文化，用千百种其他东西来象征一样，饥饿的事实也可以根据我们所处的文化，用千百种不同的声音来象征）”可推知，我们的文化决定了一个符号代表什么。故选B。3词义猜测题。根据

8、feel that the symbol is inherently connected in some way with the things symbolized.（比如说，有人觉得外语的本质是不合理的，外国人给事物起的名字很滑稽，为什么他们不能用正确的名字来称呼事物呢？ 这种感觉在那些英美游客身上表现得最为强烈，他们似乎相信，只要他们喊得足够大声，就能让任何国家的本地人听懂英语。就像那个小男孩说的那样，猪之所以叫猪，是因为它们是如此肮脏的动物，他们觉得这个符号与所象征的事物有某种内在的联系）”可推知，作者列举小男孩的例子是为了说明人们有时对语言是如何发挥作用有错误的认识。2篇This y
