1、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.The authorof these paragraphs is probably a (an) ____.【单选题】
A.historian
B.philosopher

2、EducationWhen a teacher finds a way to make a real difference in the students\' lives that\'s what education is all about. Let me tell you a story. Back in 1944 we had a new student named Roger, he was the first black student in our school, and everyone had some pretty ignorant views on the subject of black people . The other kids weren\'t bad children; they were just copying their parents, and well, I\'m afraid most of their parents had some pretty ignorant views on the subject of black people . But as you know, when you\'re twelve years old, you\'re just starting to have your own opinions about things, and I knew this could be a very important moment in their education. I knew I could make a real difference, ____ , but to all the other kids, too, if just handled it the right way.I decided I had to try to make Roger into someone special. Not like a teacher\'s pet, I wanted the other children to start seeing him as a human being , not just a dark shape in the back of the room. So I went after him with questions in every class. He was a bright little boy, so it was easy enough forme to establish him as a smart person with real value. I was pretty pleased, because I could see Roger becoming more confident, and although the other kids were still not very friendly, at least they stopped being so nasty to him.But you know what really changed everything? One day I could see Roger\'s mind was wandering: and without thinking I threw an eraser in his direction. I only meant to get his attention, but the eraser hit his hand and sent his pencil flying. The whole class roared! and afterwards, of course, all the kids went up to Roger to laugh with him about it . That\'s how he became an individual, someone special, to talk to and make friends with and that\'s how I became "Dead - Eye Bean".【单选题】
A.was giving him a hard time
B.had some pretty ignorant views on the subject of black people
C.while they were enjoying the same class
D.not only to little Roger
E.start seeing him as a human being
F.all the kids went up to Roger to laugh with him about it
正确答案:D
答案解析:空格的后面是“but to all the other kids,too”,这应该是一个not only. . . but (also)的句型。老师认为如果他能以正确的方法解决这个问题,不仅对Roger,而且对其他的黑人孩子也非常重要。因此答案是D。

4、Electric BackpackBackpacks are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch, and a change of clothes, leaving your hands free to do other things. Someday, if you don\'t mind carrying a heavy load, your backpacks might also power your MP3 player, keep your cell phone running, and maybe even light your way home.Lawrence C. Rome and his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass, have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks. In military actions, search-and-rescue operations, and scientific field studies, people rely increasingly on cell phones, global positioning system (GPS) receivers, night-vision goggles, and other battery-powered devices to get around and do their work. The backpack\'s electricity-generating feature could dramatically reduce the amount of a wearer\'s load now devoted to spare batteries, report Rome and his colleagues in the Sept. 9, Science.The backpack\'s electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame. The frame sits against the wearer\'s back, and the whole pack moves up and down as the person walks. A gear mechanism converts vertical movements of the pack to rotary motions of an electrical generator, producing up to 7. 4 watts.Unexpectedly, tests showed that wearers of the new backpack altertheir gaits in response to the pack\'s oscillations, so that they carry loads more comfortably and with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks. Because of that surprising advantage, Rome plans to commercialize both electric and non-electric versions of the backpack.The backpack could be especially useful forsoldiers, scientists, mountaineers, and emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks. Forthe rest of us, power-generating backpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV, and listen to music, all at the same time. Electricity-generating packs aren\'t on the market yet, but if you do get one eventually, just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!The word "springs" in Paragraph 3 means .【单选题】
A.a small stream of water flowing naturally from the earth
B.the season of the year, occurring between winter and summer
C.the act oran instance of jumping orleaping

8、Migrant (移民的) WorkersIn the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency forworkers to move from one country to another. While some countries have restricted most jobs to local people, others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the case in the Middle East, ______ increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to call in outsiders to improve local facilities. Thus the Middle East has attracted oil workers from the USA and Europe. It has brought in workers from many countries, including South Korea and Japan.In view of the difficult living and working conditions in the Middle East, it is not surprising that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can earn at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, and this is a majorattraction .Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating (补偿的) advantage. Forexample, the difficult living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to depend on each other forsafety and comfort. In a similar way, many migrant workers can save large sums of money partly because of the lack of entertainment facilities. The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely presents challenge to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than do routine work in their home country.One majorproblem which affects migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are temporary ones. They are nearly always on contract, so it is not easy forthem to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be expected since no country welcomes a large number of foreign workers as permanent residents. In any case, migrant workers accept this disadvantage, along with others, because of the considerable financial benefits which they receive.【单选题】
A.which
B.what
C.who
D.where
正确答案:D
答案解析:空格所在句的主句提到:在中东尤其如此。这是一个地点状语从句,在四个选项中只有where能引导地点状语从句。其他选项填人后,句子是错误的。
9、A Bad IdeaThink you can walk, drive, take phone calls, e - mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York\'s new law says you can\'t. and you\'ll be fined $ 100 if you do so on a New York city street. The law went into force last month, following research and a shocking number of accidents that involved. people using electronic gadgets (小巧机械) when crossing the street.Who\'s to blame? Scientists say that our multitasking (多任务处理) abilities are limited. "We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist (神经科学家) in Tennessee. "But a core limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once."The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this perception is open to question. Agroupof 18 to 21 years old and agroupof 35 to 39 years old were given 90 seconds to translate images into numbers, using a simple code. The youngergroupdid 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call oran instant message, the oldergroupmatched the youngergroupin speed and accuracy.It is difficult to measure the productivity lost by multitaskers. Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a business - research firm, estimates that the cost of interruptions to the American economy is nearly $650 billion a year, ____ The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers\' time was spent on interruptions and recovery time before they returned to their main tasks. 【单选题】

10、Desirable Qualities in a TeacherHere I want to try to give you an answer to the question: What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? Probably no two people would draw up exactly similar lists, but I think the following would be generally accepted.First, the teacher\'s personality should be pleasantly live and attractive. This does not rule out people who are physically plain, oreven ugly, because many _____ have great personal charm. I would say that excludes all of dull orpurely negative personality. I still stick to what I said in my earlier book: that school children probably suffer more from bores than from brutes.Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential fora teacher to have a great capacity forsympathy in the literal meaning of that word; a capacity to tune in to the minds and feelings of other people, especially, since most teachers are school teachers, to the minds and feelings of children. Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerant not indeed, of what is wrong, but of frailty (脆弱) and immaturity of human nature which induce people, and again especially children, to make mistakes.Thirdly, I hold it essential fora teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This does not mean being a plaster saint. It means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths.【单选题】
A.people
B.ones
C.such
D.those
正确答案:C
答案解析:此句意为“这并不排除长相平平,甚至面貌丑陋者,他们或许更有魅力”,many such指“很多这样的人”。
