III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. A filler word is an apparently meaningless word, phrase, or sound that marks a pause or hesitation in speech. Also known as a pause filler or hesitation form. Some of the common filler words in English are um, uh, er, ah, like, okay, right, and you know. Although filler words “may have fairly minimal lexical (词汇的) content,” notes linguist Barbara A. Fox, “they can play a strategic syntactic (句法的) role in a(n) (41) ________ conversation”. What appears to be a filler word may also be a holophrase (整句字) (42) ________ the context. “Hey, hey, shh, shh, shh. Come on. Be sensitive to the fact that other people are not comfortable talking about emotional (43) ________. Um, you know, I am, I'm fine with that, but...other people”. “Modern linguists led by Leonard Bloomfield in 1933 call these ‘hesitation forms’—the sounds of stammering (uh), stuttering (um, um), throat-clearing (ahem!), stalling (well, um, that is), interjected when the speaker is searching words or (44) ________ for the next thought.” You know that y' know is among the most common of these (45) ________ forms.

In olden times, pointer phrases or tee-up words were get this, would you believe? and are you ready? The (47) ________ of these rib-nudging phrases was—are you ready—to make the point, to focus the listener's attention on what was to follow... If the (48) ________ is to tee up a point, we should accept y' know and its friends as a mildly (49) ________ spoken punctuation, the articulated colon (冒号) that signals ‘focus on this’… If the purpose is to grab a moment to think, we should allow ourselves to wonder: Why are filler phrases needed at all? What (50) ________ the speaker to fill the moment of silence with any sound at all? Why do some people fill the air with non-words and sounds? For some, it is a sign of nervousness; they fear silence and experience speaker (51) ________. Recent research at Columbia University suggests another reason. Columbia psychologists guessed that speakers fill pauses when (52) ________ for the next word. To investigate this (53) ________, they counted the use of filler words used by lecturers in biology, chemistry, and mathematics, where the subject matter uses scientific definitions that limit the variety of word choices (54) ________ to the speaker.
