    9．With the rapid progress of technology，the English language is changing fast．All the people have to face a choice：either ignore the development of the language and spend the rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were alive，or keep pace with the Internet age，welcoming the new English which someone has once called Weblish．"you can't avoid it for the simple reason that wherever a new language comes along，it surely impacts （影响） the language as a whole，"says Dr David Crystal，a famous language professor at the University of Wales．
    However，there is great trouble with keeping up with the new English because there are so many new words and the old ones no longer mean what we thought they did．In the past if someone said they didn't have"Windows"，you would have to suppose they lived in a cave without windows．But now，it is probably because they use a Mac，which is a computer．Spam，which once meant a not-so-good-kind of canned meat，now stands for unwanted"junk （垃圾）"email．
    Spelling is changing too．Weblish loves to see nouns happily become verbs （ for example，"Please bookmark this site"），and verbs become nouns （"Send me the download"）．Verbs and prepositions are regularly thrown together to become new nouns or adjectives（for example，dial-up，logon，print-out，pull-down，upload），while others are created from a simple pairing of nouns：cyberspace，ethernet，Internet，hyperlink，metatag and netspeak．
    68．We can infer from the first paragraph thatC．
    A．English has completely become Weblish          
    B．some people wish Shakespeare were still alive
    C．people may have different attitudes towards Weblish
    D．people who know English have to learn a new language
    69．What is the main idea of the second paragraph？D
    A．Now English has many new words．
    B．English words have changed a lot．
    C．Old English words are no longer used at all．
    D．People have difficulty in understanding some new words related to computers and the Internet．
    70．The best title for this passage would be"B"．
    A．Technology and English        
    B．Keep Up with the Latest Weblish
    C．Don't Forget English          
    D．The Advantage and Disadvantages of Weblish．

    分析 本文叙述了随着科学技术的发展，人们使用网络的机会越多，为了一些使用的方面产生了一些新的网络语言，文中给出了网络语言产生的方法．为了适应现在的社会我们要跟上时代的步伐，就要了解网络语言．

    解答 CDB
    68  C  推理判断题．根据either ignore the development of the language and spend the rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were alive，or keep pace with the Internet age，welcoming the new English which someone has once called Weblish．可以推出有些人对于网络语言有些不同的意见，故选C．
    69   D  段落大意题．根据there is great trouble with keeping up with the new English because there are so many new words and the old ones no longer mean what we thought they did．这是中心句，可知应选D．
    70   B   标题归纳题．综观全文可知本文主要的话题是网络语言，故选B．

    19．Nearly everyone is shy in some ways．If shyness is making you uncomfortable，it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence．You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists．
    Make a decision not to hold back in conversations．What you have to say is just as important as what other people say．And don't turn down party invitations just because of your shyness．
    Prepare yourself for being with others in groups．Make a list of the good qualities you have．Then make a list of ideas，experiences，and skills you would like to share with other people．Think about what you would like to say in advance．Then say it．
    If you start feeling self-conscious in a group，take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people．Remember，you are not alone．Other people are concerned about the impression they are making，too．
    No one ever gets over being shy completely，but most people do learn to live with their shyness．Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy．They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public．Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards．But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you．

    A．In a popular magazine
    B．On the front page of a newspaper

    D．In a dictionary

    20．In most situations，light helps us see．But when it comes to looking at the night sky，light is actually a kind of pollution．It prevents our view of some of life's most striking sights：stars，planets，and even galaxies（银河系）．
    "When I was a little boy，I loved the night sky．I remember looking up and the sky was filled with stars．I became an astronomer because I was amazed by their beauty，"says Robert Gent，"Now in most big cities kids can't see the stars like I did．"
          Normally，about 2，500 individual （单个的） stars are visible to the human eyes without using any special equipment．But because of light pollution，you actually see just 200 to 300 and fewer than a dozen from some cities．Only one in three Americans can see our own galaxy with the naked eyes．Those people live far away from the lights of big cities，office buildings，and shopping malls．
          Fortunately，there's an inexpensive and useful way．If we shine lights down at the ground instead of up into the sky，and use lower brightness levels，we can save big amounts of energy and keep the beauty of the night sky．Many cities and towns have passed laws limiting lights at night，making sure enough shine for safety without creating much light pollution．
          Light pollution affects more than our view of the heavens and can harm wildlife．Migrating birds（候鸟） sometimes fly over cities and become confused by the brightness，flying in circles until they drop from exhaustion．  Sea turtles need dark beaches for nesting and won't approach bright lights．Too much light at night may even affect human health．For all these reasons，researchers are working on ways to use lights only when and where they are truly needed．Everyone deserves to look up at the sky．
     
    71．According to the text，using our naked eyes，A．
    A．people in remote areas can see more stars than those in big cities
    B．over one third Americans can see our own galaxy 
    C．about one in three Americans in big cities can see our own galaxy  
    D．Americans can only see 200 to 300 stars
    72．Many cities and towns have passed laws limiting lights at night mainly toD．
    A．save the electricity                        
    B．make sure of migrating birds'safety    
    C．let you count the number of stars             
    D．avoid much light pollution
    73．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about？B
    A．The cause of light pollution
    B．The way to reduce light pollution
    C．The effect of light pollution．
    D．People's attitude towards light pollution

    4．Winter weather has returned to northern areas of the world．In much of the United States，winter means the return of snow．
    Snow is a form of frozen water．It contains many groups of very small ice particles （颗粒）called snow crystals（晶体）．These crystals grow from water particles in cold clouds．They usually grow around a piece of dust．All snow crystals have six sides，but they grow in different shapes．The shape depends mainly on the temperature and water levels in the air．The shape of a snow crystal may change from one form to another as the crystal passes through levels of air with different temperatures．Snow contains much less water than rain．About 75 cm of snow has as much water as 2.5cm of rain．
    Generally，the color of snow and ice appears white．This is because the light we see from the sun is white．Most natural materials take in some sunlight．However，when light travels from air to snow，some light is sent back，or reflected（反射）．Snow crystals have many surfaces to reflect sunlight．It is this light that gives snow its white color．
    Much of the water we use comes from snow．Melting（融化） snow gives water to rivers and crops．Snowfall helps to protect plants and some wild animals from the cold．Fresh snow is made largely of air which is kept among the snow crystals．Because the air has trouble moving，the movement of heat is greatly reduced．However，snow is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people in the United States every year．Many people die in traffic accidents on roads that are covered with snow or ice．
    71．In the center of a snow crystal there isC
    A．air       B．water      C．dust     D．sunlight
    72．If fifteen centimeters of snow completely melts，the height of water will beA
    A.0.5 centimeter   B.1centimeter   C.1.5 centimeters   D.15 centimeters
    73．According to the text，snow looks white becauseC．
    A．snow is actually white                
    B．the ice particles are white
    C．the reflection of light makes it look white 
    D．there is a lot of air in the snow
    74．How can snow protect plants from the cold？D
    A．Snow gives them much heat．
    B．Snow turns into water and waters them．
    C．Snow makes them keep moving．
    D．Snow contains air which has trouble moving．
    75．What is the last paragraph of the text mainly about？C
    A．Snow can give water to rivers and crops．
    B．Snow can help crops keep warm in winter．
    C．Snow has both advantages and disadvantages．
    D．Snow is the cause of the deaths of many people．

    14．If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles（蜡烛）．He'd need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out．
    While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought．It's nothing personal．Most Americans don't even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes．
    But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius．In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China．
    In the past twenty years，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities．More recently，the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes（孔子学院） in more than 80countries．These schools teach both Chinese language and culture．The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art，history and philosophy（哲学）．Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing（比赛）to learn Chinese．So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States．Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers．
    So the old thinker's ideas are still alive and well．
    Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．
    As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the west，even if his birthday is．

    72．The opening paragraph is mainly intended toB．
    A．provide some key facts about Confucius
    B．attract the readers'interest in the topic
    C．show great respect for the ancient thinker
    D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
    73．We can learn from Paragraph 4that American studentsA．
    A．have a great interest in studying Chinese
    B．take an active part in Chinese competitions
    C．try to get high scores in Chinese exams
    D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese
    74．What is the best title for the passage？C
    A．Forgotten Wisdom in America
    B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
    C．Old Thinker with a Big Future
    D．Chinese Culture for Westerners
    75．The passage is likely to appear in aC．

    1．Nobody knows who first invented it，but the umbrella was used in very ancient times．Probably the first to use it were the Chinese，back in the eleventh century B．C．To use it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains．But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain．It was first used as a shade against the sun．
    We know it was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade．And there was a strange thing connected with its use； it became a symbol of honor and authority．In the Far East in ancient times，the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royal people or by those in high office．
    In Europe，the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade．And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece．But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans．
    During the Middle Ages，the use of the umbrella practically disappeared．Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century．And again it became a symbol of power and  authority．By 1680，the umbrella appeared in France，and later on in England．
    By the eighteenth century，the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe．Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time，though they have become much lighter in weight．It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made in a variety of colors．

    67．Which of the following statements is not true about the umbrella？C
    A．No one exactly knows who was the inventor of the umbrella．
    B．The umbrella was first invented to be used as protection against the sun．
    C．The umbrella changed much in style in the eighteenth century．
    D．In Europe，the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella．
    68．The underlined word"authority"meansC．
    A．being popular     B．being useful
    C．being powerful    D．being enjoyable
    69．In Europe，the umbrella was first used against the rainB．
    A．in Rome         B．by the eighteen century
    C．in Greece       D．during the Middle Ages
    70．This passage talks mainly aboutD．
    A．when and how the umbrella was invented
    B．why the umbrella was so popular in Europe
    C．the development of the umbrella
    D．the history and use of the umbrella．

    18．America is a mobile society．Friendships between Americans can be close and real，yet disappear soon if situations change．Neither side feels hurt by this．Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two，perhaps a few letters for a while-then no more．If the same two people meet again by chance，even years later，they pick up the friendship．This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand，because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings，extending sometimes deeply into both families．
    ericans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes，share their holidays，and their home life．They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality （好客） easily．Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives，they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time．This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time．Sometimes，we，as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend．We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends．The Americans，however，express their welcome usually at homes，but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine．They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus．And they expect that we will phone them from there．Once we arrive at their homes，the welcome will be full，warm and real．We will find ourselves treated hospitably．
      For the Americans，it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants，except for purely business matters．So accept their hospitality at home．
