A study published Tuesday in the jurnal Psychnmic Bulletin & Review fund that wrds expressing angry feelings sund alike in several unrelated languages. They’re less likely than ther wrds t include the sunds L, R, W r Y. And mre friendly versins f such wrds ften have these sunds added. The finding suggests that certain rules may link the wrld’s languages, n matter hw different they are.
Ryan McKay, c-authr f the paper, happened t discver that sme f the English curses (诅咒语) seem t have smething in cmmn: They’re ften shrt and include the sunds B, P, T r K. Then Dr. McKay teamed up with his clleague Shiri Lev-Ari t learn whether these rules went beynd English.
During the experiment, they asked fluent speakers f Arabic, Krean, German and Spanish t list the wrst wrds they culd think f. Once they’d made a list f each language’s mst cmmnly used curses, the researchers cmpared these with neutral (中性的) wrds frm the same language. T their surprise, the rules still apply.
Next, the scientists asked the same peple t listen t pairs f invented wrds, such as “yg” and “tsg” and guess which wrd in each pair was a curse. The subjects were mre likely t guess that wrds withut L, R, W and Y, such as “tsg”, were curses.
Finally, the researchers lked thrugh the dictinary fr English curses and their cleaned-up versins. Once again, the cleaned-up versins included mre f the sunds L, R, W and Y.
“Mst 20th-century language scientists held that any wrd culd have any meaning,” said Dr. McKay. “With curses, thugh, the sunds themselves seem t carry meaning. This can shape and change ur understanding f hw languages are frmed.”
“It is the first time fr researchers t study curses acrss languages and the finding is very interesting,” said Benjamin Bergen, a language scientist at the University f Califrnia, wh was nt invlved in the study. “But it is just anther case f what’s called sund symblism in the language study: A wrd sunds like what it means.”
12．Which wrd is mst prbably an uncleaned-up curse accrding t the text?
A. Rucy. B. Buk. C. Yayad. D. Walawala.
13．What did the researchers d in their last step?
A. Applying their study t mre unrelated languages.
B. Studying the neutral wrds and curses side by side.
C. Asking peple t listen t pairs f nn-existing wrds.
D. Cmparing English curses with their friendly versins.
14．What did Benjamin Bergen mean?
A. The study methd is really unscientific.
B. It will change ur understanding in a way.
C. It is nt a ttally new discvery at all.
D. The selected languages are t limited.
15．What is the authr’s purpse in writing the text?
A. T intrduce a newly published study.
B. T prve the unique rules in English.
C. T tell anther way f memrizing wrds.
D. T shw hw t use mre friendly curses.
二、七选五
