2、LanguageWhen one looks back upon the fifteen hundred years that are the life span of the English language, he should be able to notice a number of significant truths. The history of language is a history of constant change-at times a slow, almost imperceptible change, at other times a violent collision between two languages. Language a living growing organism, it has never been static. Another significant truth that emerges from such a study is that language at all times has been the possession not of one class orｇｒｏｕｐbut of many. At one extreme it has been the property of the common, ignorant folk, who have used it in the daily business of their living, much as they have used their animals ｏｒthe kitchen pots ａｎｄ　pans. At the other extreme it has been the treasure of those who have respected it as an instrument ａｎｄ　a sign of civilization, ａｎｄ　who have struggled by writing it down to give it some permanence, order, dignity, ａｎｄ　if possible, a little beauty.As we consider our changing language, we should note here two developments that are of special ａｎｄ　immediate importance to us. One is that since the time of the Anglo-Saxons there has been an almost complete reversal of the different relationship of words in a sentence. Anglo-Saxon(old English) was a language of many inflections. Modern English has few inflections. We must now depend largely on word ｏｒｃｅｒａｎｄ　function words to convey the meanings that the older language did by means of changes in the forms of words. Function words, you should understand, are words such as prepositions, conjunctions, ａｎｄ　a few others that are used primarily to show relationships among other words. A few inflections, however, have survived. ａｎｄ　when some word inflections come into conflict with word order,. there may be trouble fｏｒthe users of the language, as we shall see later when we turn our attention to such maters as WHO ｏｒWHOM ａｎｄ　ME ｏｒl. The second fact we must consider is that as language itself changes, our attitudes toward language forms change also. The eighteenth century, fｏｒexample, produced from various sources a tendency to fix the language into patterns not always ｓｅｔin ａｎｄ　grew, until at the present time there is a strong tendency to restudy ａｎｄ　re-evaluate language practices in terms of the ways in which people speak ａｎｄ　write.Which of the following statements is not mentioned in the passage?【单选题】

A.It is generally believed that the year 1500 can be ｓｅｔas the beginning of the modern English language.

B.Some other languages had great influence on the English language at some stages of its development.

C.The English language has been ａｎｄ　still in a state of relatively constant change.

D.Many classes ｏｒgroups have contributed to the development of the English language.

正确答案:A

答案解析:根据文章的内容，选项A“普遍认为1500年是现代英语的起点”在文章中没有提及，故为正确答案。文章第2句说“The history of our been a history of constant change…. at times a slow, almost imperceptible change, at other times a violent collision between two languages. ”由此可以推断一些其他的语言对英语的发展有重大影响，选项B符合文章的意思。

3、Woman workThough some people have suggested that women should return to housework in ｏｒｃｅｒto leave more jobs fｏｒmen, the idea has been rejected by both women ａｎｄ　men in public opinion polls.Lately some ｕｎｉｏｎofficials have suggested that too many women are employed in types of work more suitable fｏｒmen ａｎｄ　that women should step aside to make way fｏｒunemployed young men. They argue that women, especially women in their childbearing years,actually delay economic development ａｎｄ　result in productivity, poｏｒquality ａｎｄ　inefficiency.To solve the problem, they suggested that working women stay at home while their husbands ｏｒbrothers were given double wages. They argue that under these circumstances, families would ____ their same level of income, ａｎｄ　women could run the house ａｎｄ　raise children much better,The suggestion, however , has been flatly rejected by 9 0ut of 10 people polled .Some other people have suggested another way called "phased employment" theory. The theory suggests that a woman worker take leave from her job when she is seven months pregnant ａｎｄ　stay off the job until her baby reaches the age of 3. It suggested that women on leave receive 75 percent of their normal salary ａｎｄ　be allowed to return to work after the three-year period. This will benefit children, women, their families ａｎｄ　the society ａｎｄ　it definitely seems to be more acceptable than the suggestion that women return to their homes forever.【单选题】

A.remain

B.supply

C.support

D.retain

5、Why People Use Pseudonyms (假名字)?You can\'t choose the name you are given at birth, but in many countries you can change it legally when you reach adulthood. Of course, most people never change their names even if they feel unhappy about them. However some people do take this course of action－particularly artists! What makes an artist want to change their name? Sometimes it\'s fｏｒpurely personal reasons, such as the Nobel Prize winning poet from Chile, Neftalf Reyes. He didn\'t want his father to know he was writing poetry, so he changed his name to Pablo Neruda when he was a young man. At other times the reason may appear strange, take the case of the Portuguese poet Femando Pessoa, who wrote under 75 different names. The reason? "When I use a different name, I always write in a different way," he explained. In most cases, ____ , people change their names fｏｒsocial, historical, political, ｏｒcultural reasons. Here are some of the most common: reason. The person\'s real name is just too long ａｎｄ　difficult to remember. Let\'s be honest, Madonna Louise Ciccone is not as easy to remember as just plain Madonna. ａｎｄ　short names are much easier to remember: William Bradley became Brad Pitt ａｎｄ　Edson Arantes do Nascimento became Pele.Sometimes names are changed fｏｒmarketing purposes. Fｏｒexample, if a name sounds too foreign, it may be changed to something that is more recognizable in a market. So in the film world, Ramon Estsvez adopted the name Martin Sheen. ｏｒmaybe the artist\'s real name doesn\'t sound attractive－Chad Everett does sound a lot better than Raymond Cramton.Artists sometimes choose the name of someone they admire. Robert Zimmerman changed his name to Boo Dylan because of his admiration fｏｒthe Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas.Another reason may be practical: in the past, women found it very difficult to get published. To avoid this situation, they sometimes gave themselves men\'s names, so the English authｏｒMary Ann Evans became George Eliot, ａｎｄ　she did get her books published!【单选题】

A.but

B.although

C.however

D.and

正确答案:C

答案解析:本题难度不大，从文中可知，此处要表达转折的意思，在句中表达转折，选项里只能使用however，答案是C。

6、Money ｏｒFriendship ｏｒBoth1. Friends ａｎｄ　money don\'t mix. It\'s a dangerous combination since a fight over money is one of the fastest ways to end a friendship. But what if a friend asks you to tend him ｏｒher some money? If you don\'t lend your friend the money, you risk losing the friend. If you do lend your friend the money, you risk losing both the friendship ａｎｄ　your money.2. We have to face facts, so here are some situations you might run across with your buddies (伙伴) ａｎｄ　some helpful tips (忠告) on how to deal with them. Thinking about why this person needs to borrow in the first place. If he is always living beyond his means, it is his fault, not yours. Any Sensible person would not put himself in a position of debt so often. So simply say "no" to this friend. Even if your friend really needs that money fｏｒemergency use ａｎｄ　you are willing to help him, before you dive into your pocket, follow this reality check: Do you have the extra money? Are you sure you don\'t need it? Are you willing to write off that amount if it\'s not returned? If your answers are negative, do yourself a favｏｒａｎｄ　say "no".3. Let\'s assume you can\'t stａｎｄ　saying "no" to your friend because you don\'t want him living off cat food. What do you do? Write down these details on a sheet of paper before opening up your wallet:Amount of the loan.Date of the loan.Time of repayment.Amount of interest (if any).Lender\'s ａｎｄ　borrower\'s signature.This will at least keep the borrower from forgetting the loan so easily, If your friend\'s loan is past due, it\'s important that you ask him－ａｎｄ　it\'s actually not rude. The longer you wait, the more you are brood (忧伤), ａｎｄ　the more your resentment builds.4. You can send him a friendly reminder via E - mail. Tell him something like "I\'m going over my bank account ａｎｄ　I\'m just wondering when we\'ll be able to settle that money thing." E - mail saves you from an uncomfortable face - to - face confrontation. There is almost no chance of turning a bad reaction into an argument. Unlike a public conversation, an E - mail message will always be private.5. After asking two ｏｒthree times, you might have to write it off. That\'s what happens. If he just doesn\'t have the money ｏｒis unwilling, then what kind of friend is that?Paragraph 4 ____【单选题】

A.Time to Break off a Friendship

B.Unconditional Assistance to Friends in Need

C.Things to Consider When You Have to Say "No" to Your Friend

D.Things to Think over When You Don\'t Want Your Friend to Eat Cat Food

7、A Glass of MilkOne day, a poｏｒboy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods doｏｒto doｏｒfound that he only had one dime left. He was hungry so he decided to beg fｏｒa meal at the next house.However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked fｏｒa drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, ａｎｄ　then asked, "How much do I owe you?""You don\'t owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught me never to accept pay fｏｒa kindness," he said, "Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart. " As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but also increased his faith in God ａｎｄ　the human race. He was about to give up ａｎｄ　quit before this point.Years later the young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled.

Immediately, he rose ａｎｄ　went down through the hospital hall into her room.Dressed in his doctor\'s gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room ａｎｄ　determined to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he gave special attention to her case.After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him fｏｒapproval. He looked at it ａｎｄ　then wrote something on the side. The bill was sent to her room.

8、African wild dogFinding a babysitter while you go out to work is, fｏｒexample, an inconvenience. Fｏｒthe African wild dog, one of the continent\'s most endangered carnivores （食肉动物), it\'s a matter of life ａｎｄ　death. A new research shows that once packs (兽群) fall below a certain size, they are not enough animals to both hunt food ａｎｄ　stay at home protecting the young.The African wild dog has declined drastically over the past century. Habitual loss (栖息地的丧失), persecution ａｎｄ　unexplained outbreaks of disease have all been blamed. Only 3, 000 to5,000 animals remain, ａｎｄ　the species is expected to go extinct within decades if the trend continues.Other large carnivores such as the spotted hyena (鬣狗) face similar pressures, yet are not declining. Now Franck Courchamp of Cambridge University has found a reason why. The dog\'s weakness lies in its social organization.Within each pack of up to 20 adults ａｎｄ　pups, only the dominant male ａｎｄ　female breed. The remaining animals help raise the pups, cooperating to hunt prey ａｎｄ　defend the kill from other carnivores.Because pups can\'t keep up on a hunt, large packs leave an adult behind to protect them from predators (捕猎者), which include lions ａｎｄ　hyenas. But leaving a babysitter also carries costs. A smaller hunting party is less able to tackle large prey ａｎｄ　to defend the kill. There is also one less stomach in which to carry food back to the den, ａｎｄ　one more mouth to feed when they get there.Courchamp investigated this awkward trade-off (权衡) by modeling how the costs of a babysitter change with decreasing pack size. This showed that packs of more than five adults should be able to feed all the pups ａｎｄ　still spare a babysitter. But with smaller packs, either the hunting ｏｒthe babysitting suffers, ｏｒthe animals have to compensate by increasing the number of hunting excursions which itself carries a cost to the pack.Field observations in Zimbabwe supported the model. Packs of five animals ｏｒfewer left pups unguarded more frequently than larger packs did. There was also evidence that when they did leave a babysitter, they were forced to hunt more often.A pack which drops below a critical size becomes caught in a vicious circle (恶性循环), says Courchamp, who is now at Paris-Sud University. "Poｏｒreproduction ａｎｄ　low survival further reduces pack size, culminating in (最终造成) failure of the whole pack. " ａｎｄ　deaths caused by human activity, says Courchamp, may be what reduce pack numbers to below the sustamable threshold. Mammal ecologist Chris Carbone at London\'s Institute of Zoology agrees. Maintaining the integrity of wild dog packs will be vitalin preserving the species, he says.The size of a pack must be big enough fｏｒit to survive.【单选题】

9、A Carrot a Day Keeps Cancer AwayAmong all the malignancies, lung cancer is the biggest killer: more than 100,000 Americans a year die of the disease. Giving up smoking is one of obvious way to reduce the risk, but another answer may lie in the kitchen. According to a new report, even heavy smokers may be protected from developing lung cancer by a simple dietary measure: a daily portion of carrots, spinach ｏｒany other vegetable ｏｒfruit containing a form of vitamin A called carotene.The finding, published in the British medical journal The Lancet, is part of a long-range investigation of diet ａｎｄ　disease. Since 1957 a team of American researchers has monitored the dietary habits ａｎｄ　medical histories of 2,000 middle-aged men employed by the Western Electric Co. in Chicago. Led by Dr. Richard Shelelle of Chicago\'s Rush-Presbyterian, St. Luke\'s Medical Center, the researchers recently began to sort out the links between the subjects\' dietary patterns ａｎｄ　cancer. Other studies of animals ａｎｄ　humans have suggested that vitamin A offers some protection against lung cancer. The correlation seemed logical, since vitamin A is essential fｏｒthe growth of the epithelial (上皮的) tissue that lines the airways of the lungs.Vegetables: But the earlier research did not distinguish between two different forms of the vitamin. "Preformed" vitamin A, known as retinol, is found mainly in liver ａｎｄ　dairy products like milk, cheese, butter ａｎｄ　eggs. But vitamin A is also made in the body from carotene, which is abundant in a variety of vegetables ａｎｄ　fruits, including carrots, spinach, squash, tomatoes, sweet potatoes ａｎｄ　apples.In the Western Electric study, Shekelle ａｎｄ　his colleagues found little correlation between the incidence of lung cancer ａｎｄ　the consumption of foods containing preformed vitamin A, but when they examined the data on carotene intake, they discovered a significant relationship. Among the488 men who had the lowest level of carotene consumption, there were fourteen cases of lung cancer, in aｇｒｏｕｐof the same size that ate the most carotene, only two cases developed. The apparent protective effect of carotene held up even fｏｒlongtime smokers but to a lesser degree.Further studies will be necessary before the link between lung cancer ａｎｄ　carotene can be firmly established. In the meantime, researchers warn against taking large numbers of vitamin A pills, because the tablets contain a form of the chemical that can be extremely toxic in high doses. Instead, they advise a well-balance diet that includes foods rich in carotene. Fｏｒa smoker, a half-cup of carrots every day might possibly make the difference between life ａｎｄ　death.Among the groups studied, who had the most cases of lung cancer?【单选题】

A.Those with the lowest level of carotene intake.

B.Those with the highest level o carotene intake.

C.Those who ate only foods containing carotene.

D.Those with the lowest intake of carrots.

正确答案:A

答案解析:根据第4段，“在摄入胡萝}、素最少的488人中，有14例肺癌患者。而人数同样多的另一组摄入胡萝卜素最多的人群中只有2例”，因此答案是A。

10、J. K. RowlingLike that of her own character, Harry Potter, J. K. Rowling\'s life has the luster of a fairy tale. Divorced, living on public assistance in a tiny Edinburgh flat with her infant daughter, Rowling wrote Harry Potter ａｎｄ　the Sorcerer\'s Stone at a table in a cafe during her daughter\'s naps ａｎｄ　it was Harry Potter that rescued her.Rowling remembers that she always wanted to write ａｎｄ　that the first story she actually wrote down, when she was five ｏｒsix, was a story about a rabbit called Rabbit. Many of her favorite memories center around enjoying the fantastic adventure stories.On a particularly long train ride from Manchester to London in the summer of 1990, the idea came to her of a boy who is a wizard ａｎｄ　doesn\'t know it. He attends a school fｏｒwizardry -she could see him very plainly in her mind. _____ four hours later, many of the characters ａｎｄ　the early stages of the plot were fully formed in her head. The story took further shape as she continued working on it in pubs ａｎｄ　cafes over her lunch hours.Rowling was working as a French teacher when she heard that her book about the boy wizard had been accepted fｏｒpublication. Harry Potter ａｎｄ　the Philosopher\'s Stone was published in June1997 ａｎｄ　achieved almost instant success. With the publication of the American edition, retitled Harry Potter ａｎｄ　the Sorcerer\'s Stone, in 1998, Rowling\'s books continued to make publishing history. Harry Potter climbed to the top of all the bestseller lists fｏｒchildren\'s ａｎｄ　adult books. In Britain a separate edition of the first book appeared with a more "adult" dust jacket so that grown-ups reading it on trains ａｎｄ　subways would not have to hide their copy behind a newspaper.J. K. Rowling lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, with her daughter Jessica ａｎｄ　continues to work on writing the seven-book story of Harry Potter. 【单选题】

A.would not have to hide their copy behind a newspaper.
