To further explore this connection between words and their meanings,Perlman andhis colleagues turned to something called the bouba/kiki effect.With the help of 22volunteers,the researchers tested it in 25 different languages.Participants were told tolook at two shapes-one looks like a cloud which is somewhat round,and the other one ismore pointy,maybe looks more like a star-and then listen to the sound:either"bouba"or"kiki",both of which are totally made up.Then they were asked,"Which one is bouba andwhich one is kiki?"Most participants said the rounder shape was bouba and the pointyone was kiki.This suggests there is some widely observed connection between the spokenwords and the visual features of the shapes.As to what that could mean about the evolution(of language:imagine ourancestors when they started using spoken words to refer to things."They couldn't sayListen,my friend,now we're gonna call this new object a table.""So to get theconversation off the ground,they probably tried to come up with sounds that somehowsuggested the object at hand.27.What does the author mean by saying "One person's pup is another one's perro"?A.People have personal preferences for the words they use.B.A word can mean the same thing across many languages.C.Different languages have different words for the same thing.D.The sound of a word reminds people of the shape of an object.28.How did Perlman study the connection between words and their meanings?A.By making up new wordsB.By interviewing language learners.C.By conducting an experiment.D.By comparing different languages.29.What do we know about the bouba/kiki effect?A.It helps people understand language evolution.B.It is a language research method created a century ago.C.It makes little sense when it comes to written language.D.It shows the differences between round and pointy objects.高一期末检测英语试题卷第7页（共12页）
