When<br /> there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which<br /> motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort<br /> to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and<br /> exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.<br /> Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or<br /> unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A<br /> nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.<br /> Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots<br /> read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals.

She studied biology at college<br /> and zoology at Johns Hopkins University, where she received her master’s degree in 1933. In<br /> 1936, she was hired by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where she worked most of her life.<br /> Carson’s first book, Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent<br /> reviews, but sales were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year she published The Sea<br /> Around Us, which provided a fascinating look beneath the ocean’s surface, emphasizing human<br /> history as well as geology and marine biology. Her imagery and language had a poetic quality.<br /> Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed sources. She had voluminous correspondence and<br /> frequent discussions with experts in the field. However, she always realized the limitations of her<br /> nontechnical readers.<br /> In 1962, Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It<br /> proved how much harm was done by the uncontrolled, reckless use of insecticides. She detailed<br /> how they poison the food supply of animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate human food. At<br /> the time, spokesmen for the chemical industry mounted personal attacks against Carson and<br /> issued propaganda to indicate that her findings were flawed. However, her work was proved by a<br /> 1963 report of the President’s Science Advisory Committee.<br /> (Source: TOEFL Reading)<br /> Question 43: The passage mainly discusses Rachel Carson’s work<br /> A. as a researcher<br /> B. at college<br /> C. at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service<br /> D. as a writer<br /> Question 44: According to the passage, what did Carson primarily study at Johns Hopkins<br /> University?<br /> A. oceanography<br /> B. zoology<br /> C. literature<br /> D. history<br /> Question 45: When she published her first book, Carson was closest to the age of<br /> A. 26<br /> B. 29<br /> C. 34<br /> D. 45<br /> Question 46: It can be inferred from the passage that in 1952, Carson’s book Under the Sea<br /> Wind<br /> A. was outdated<br /> B. became more popular than her other books<br /> C. was praised by critics<br /> D. sold many copies<br /> Question 47: Which of the following was NOT mentioned in the passage as a source of<br /> information for The Sea Around Us?<br /> 5<br /> <br />
