Briggs’ article on culture, Microsoft® Student 2008, andmark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of thequestions from 6 to 15.Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the termbroadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it. It is directly related tocultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex. A person ofculture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, andmusic. Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, toeducation. At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists andsociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural(cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, andvalues.Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures,between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently betweennational and global cultures. Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; thelatter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city. The two wordsare sometimes treated as synonymous. Yet this is misleading. While civilization and barbarism arepitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the wordculture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and ofdevelopment in the 20th century. Cultures evolve or develop. They are not static. They have twistsand turns. Styles change. So do fashions. There are cultural processes. What, for example, the wordcultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman)literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and universityeducation. No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture,Trang 1/7 - Mã đề thi 942affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture. As cultures express themselves in newforms not everything gets better or more civilized.The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define. Thereis no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one. Theonly non-problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture orstrawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture). Sincein anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of reference is extremely wide.Question 6: According to the passage, the word culture ______.A. comes from a source that has not been identifiedB. develops from Greek and Roman literature and historyC. is related to...
