试题解答
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
1.根据Man部分第一段Man once was a truly generic word referring to all humans,but has gradually narrowed in meaning to become a word that refers to adult male human beings. Anglo-Saxons used the word to refer to all people. One example of this occurs when an Anglo- Saxon writer refers to a seventh-century English princess asa wonderful man.可见,man这个词最初是泛指所有人的,到了17世纪还有作家把公主描述成a wonderful man.。故此句判断为YES。
