3、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.In contrast to the earlier linguists, modern linguists tend to _____.【单选题】

A.attempt to continue the standardization of the language

B.evaluate language practices in terms of current speech rather than standards ｏｒproper patterns

C.be more concerned about language than its analysis ｏｒhistory

D.be more aware of the rules of the language usage

正确答案:B

答案解析:这篇文章讲的主要是英语语言演变的一些特点，指出了古英语与现代英语的不同，以及语言学家态度的转变。本题问的正是现代语言学家与早期语言学家不同的倾向，以说和写的方式评价语言实践，而不是像早期的语言学家根据一定的模式评价语言。选项B符合文章的意思。

4、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, however , 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 ____ . 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.purposes

B.thoughts

C.ends

D.goals

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题有一定难度，D干扰较大，文中表达的是“有时候改名字是出于市场策划的需要”，按照英语使用习惯，选项里只能使用purposes，答案是A。

5、G8 SummitLeaders of theｇｒｏｕｐof Eight MajｏｒIndustrialized Nations (G8) will meet in Scotlａｎｄ　in July this year. Representatives from China, India, Mexico, South Africa ａｎｄ　Brazil have also been invited. Here\'s what the G8 leaders want from the meeting.British Prime Minister Tony Blair wants the G8 to cancel debt to the world\'s poorest countries. He wants them to double aid to Africa to 50 billion pounds by 2010. He has also proposed reducing subsidies to Western farmers ａｎｄ　removing restrictions on African exports. This has not got the approval of all members because it will hurt their agricultural interests. On climate change, Blair wants concerted (共同的) action by reducing carbon emissions (排放). US President George W. Bush agrees to give help to Africa. But he says he doesn\'t like the idea of increasing aid to countries as it will increase corruption. Bush said he would not sign an agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions at the summit, according to media. The US is the only G8 member not to have signed the Kyoto Protocol(《京都议定书》). Although the US is the world\'s biggest polluter, Bush so far refuses to believe there is sufficient scientific data to establish beyond a doubt that there is a problem.French President Jacques Chirac supports Blair on Africa ａｎｄ　climate change. He is determined to get the US to sign the climate change deal.German ChancellｏｒGerhard Schroder remains doubtful of Blair\'s Africa proposals. Schroder\'s officials have dismissed the notion that money will solve Africa\'s problems as"old thinking". Berlin says that African states should only receive extra money if they can prove they\'ve solved the corruption problem.Russian President Vladimir Putin was doubtful about the value of more aid to Africa. But he has seen a way to make this work to his advantage. Putin intends to use the aid to Africa as a springboard (跳板) next year to propose aid to the former Soviet Republics of Georgia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan ａｎｄ　Moldova.Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi\'s priorities are a seat on the UN Security Council, fｏｒwhich he will be lobbying (游说) at the summit. ａｎｄ　he\'s concerned about the Democratic People\'s Republic of Korea\'s nuclear weapons programme.Blair hopes that the G8 countries will work together to reduce carbon emissions.【单选题】

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Not mentioned

正确答案:A

答案解析:根据主语Blair可以确定答案出自第二段。第二段最后一句：On climate change，Blair wants concerted（共同的）action by reducing carbon emissions（排放）．（布莱尔希望可以通过共同努力来减少二氧化碳的排放。）由此可以确定答案是A。
