　　Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary. Different occupations, however, differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts, and other vocations, like farming and fishery, that have occupied great numbers of men from remote times, the technical vocabulary is very old. It consists largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fiber of our language. Hence, though highly technical in many particulars, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound, and more generally understood than most other technicalities. The special dialects of law, medicine, divinity and philosophy have also, in their older strata, become pretty familiar to cultivated persons and have contributed much to the popular vocabulary. Yet every vocation still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even to educated speech. And the proportion has been much increased in the last fifty years, particularly in the various departments of natural and political science and in the mechanic arts. Here new terms are coined with the greatest freedom, and abandoned with indifference when they have served their turn. Most of the new coinages are confined to special discussions, and seldom get into general literature or papers, and everybody is soon talking about it--as in the case of the Roentgen rays and wireless telegraphy. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.

(1)Special words used in technical discussion ______.

[　　]

A．never last long

B．should be confined to scientific fields

C．may become part of common speech

D．are considered artificial language speech

(2)In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the number of technical terms in the terminology of ______.

[　　]

(3)The writer of the article was undoubtedly ______.

(4)The author's main purpose in the passage is to ______.

【小题5】 Buy ______, a reader can save most.

One of the political issues that is heard a lot about in the States lately is campaign（竞选）finance reform（改革）. The people who are 36 for reform usually want the 37 to pay for campaigns and/or limit the amount of money that candidates（候选人）and their 38 can spend.

One reason that reform is called for is that it costs so much to 39 for political office. Candidates have to spend a great deal of time and effort 40 money. The incumbents (those already in office) have less time to do chief jobs since they must 41 so many money raising events.

Another 42 is the fear that candidates will be owned or 43 by the “special interest groups” that give money to their campaigns. Sometimes this certainly seems to be the 44 .

On the 45 side are those who say that it doesn’t mean it’s really 46 just because you call something “reform”. They argue that the right to freedom of speech is 47 if the government can limit anyone’s ability to get his or her message out to the people.

If one person or a group of people want to tell the 48 what they think about an issue or candidate, they have to buy 49 on TV, radio, and in newspapers and magazines. They might want to put up advertisements along highways and on websites. All this costs a lot of 50 .

Those against laws that control or limit spending say that you don’t really have freedom of 51 or freedom of the press if you can’t get your message out. They say the government should never be able to control 52 discussions. They believe that this is most important when the voters are about to make 53 .

What do you think about this 54 ? Listen to what the candidates for national office have to say. Which candidates 55 the most sense to you?

36．A．waiting B．calling C．standing D．preparing

37．A．government B．president C．candidates D．citizens

38．A．leaders B．bosses C．supporters D．states

39．A．pay B．compete C．wait D．work

40．A．raising B．earning C．giving D．getting

41．A．notice B．report C．guard D．attend

42．A．event B．cost C．reason D．office

43．A．encouraged B．forced C．controlled D．ordered

44．A．joke B．purpose C．case D．example

45．A．other B．same C．another D．different

46．A．worse B．better C．easier D．harder

47．A．meaningless B．unimportant C．unnecessary D．impossible

48．A．reporters B．truth C．story D．public

49．A．time B．copies C．rights D．advertising

50．A．energy B．effort C．time D．money
