2、Language
When 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 or group but 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 or the 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 order and 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 for the users of the language, as we shall see later when we turn our attention to such maters as WHO or WHOM and ME or l. The second fact we must consider is that as language itself changes, our attitudes toward language forms change also. The eighteenth century, for example, produced from various sources a tendency to fix the language into patterns not always set in 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 can be best used as the title of the passage?【单选题】

A.The history of the English language.

B.Our changing attitude towards the English language.

C.Our changing language.

D.Some characteristics of modern English,

正确答案:C

答案解析:本文从各个方面谈及英语作为一种语言的发展变化，但并不是讲述英语的历史，所以选项A不对，选项C作为文章的题目最为贴切。选项B只是文章阐述的一个方面，不够全面。文章是在谈到英语的不断变化的时候谈到了现代英语的一些特点，所以选项D也过于片面。

3、We've seen a marked shift in our approach to the social issues.【单选题】

A.clear

B.regular

C.quick

D.great

正确答案:A

答案解析:我们已经看到在对待社会问题上我们态度的显著变化。本题难度很大，考生要重点研究。本题考查引申意义。marked的引申意义指“显著的”，和clear的引申意思“显著的”是同义词，D项great“极大的”干扰较大，有考生选择D，但最佳答案是A。

4、Money or Friendship or Both
1. 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 or her 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 for emergency 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 favor and 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 or three times, you might have to write it off. That's what happens. If he just doesn't have the money or is unwilling, then what kind of friend is that?
If your friend refuses to return the money ____.
【单选题】

A.you can remind your friend of it via E - mail

B.you can lend more money to him or her

C.you must get to know why he or she needs that money

D.if you should lend money to your friend

E.you can call the police to settle the issue

F.there is no need to maintain a friendly relation with him or her

正确答案:F

答案解析:本题难度也不大，答案依据不难找到。答案依据在最后一段。最后一段这一句，after asking two or three times, you might have to write it off and the friendship with it，谈到在两三次要账未成后，就可以结束友谊了，回来看选项，F项符合文章句意，是答案。

5、What Is the Coolest Gas in the Universe?
What is the coldest air temperature ever recorded on the Earth? Where was this low temperature recorded? The coldest recorded temperature on Earth was -91℃ which occurred in Antarctica in 1983.
We encounter an interesting situation when we discuss temperatures in space Temperatures in Earth orbit actually range from about +120℃ to -120℃. The temperature depends upon whether you are in direct sunlight or shade, Obviously, -120℃ is colder than our body can safely endure. Thank NASA science for well-designed space suits that protect astronauts from these temperature extremes.
The space temperatures just discussed affect only our area of the solar system . Obviously, it is hotter closer to the Sun and colder as we travel away from the Sun. Astronomers estimate temperatures at Pluto are about -210℃. How cold is the lowest estimated temperature in the entire universe? Again, it depends upon your location. We are taught it is supposedly impossible to have a temperature below absolute zero, which is -273℃, at which atoms do not move. Two scientists, whose names are Cornell and Wieman, have successfully cooled down a gas temperature barely _____ absolute zero. They won a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2001 for their work not a discovery in this car.
Why is the two scientists' work so important to science?
In the 1920s, Satyendra Nath Bose was studying an interesting theory about particles we now call photons. Bose had trouble convincing Other scientists to believe so he contacted Albert Einstein. Einstein's calculations helped him theorize would behave as Bose thought but only at very cold temperatures.
Scientists have also discovered that ultra-cold atoms can help them make the world's atomic clocks even more accurate. These clocks are so accurate today they would only lose one second every six million years! Such accuracy will help us travel in space because distance is velocity times time(d=vxt). With the long distances involved in space travel to know time as accurately as possible to get accurate distance.
【单选题】

A.above

B.below

C.within

D.beyond

正确答案:A

答案解析:本段前面的句子说到最低温度不会低于-273℃，所以below、within、beyond都有悖于上述论述。只有above（高于）才与上文的意思相符。
