11.You may know the English letters A,B and C.But do you know there are people called ABC?You may like eating bananas.But did you know there is such a thing as a"banana person"?How strange!Are these people from"another earth"?No.They are just Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means American-born Chinese.An ABC is a Chinese,but was born in the United States.Sometimes,people call an ABC a"banana person".A banana is yellow outside and white inside.So,when a person is a banana,he or she is white inside-thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese.
Do you know why?Usually,ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language.Some of them don't speak Chinese.Also,they are not interested in Chinese politics.
But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese,can we still call them Chinese people?Yes,of course.They are Chinese.They are overseas (海外的) Chinese.These people may be citizens(公民) of another country like the US,Canada or Singapore.But they have Chinese blood.Their parents,grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China.They all have black eyes and black hair.But they are not Chinese citizens.They are not people of the People's Republic of China.For example,we all know the famous scientist C.N.Yang (杨振宁).He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957.Chinese people love him.But he is an American citizen.

25."ABC"in this text stands for"C".
A.three English letters        
B.a kind of banana
C.Chinese born in America

C.they were born in China but go to study in America

27.C.N.Yang is mentioned here to show thatD.
A.American Chinese are great
B.we love American Chinese
C.Chinese people can win Nobel Prizes
D.American Chinese are not Chinese citizens
28.This text is mainly aboutB.
A.different kinds of bananas            
B.overseas Chinese
C.the Nobel Prize                     
D.the life story of C.N.Yang.

26   B   细节理解题.文章中Sometimes,people call an ABC a"banana person".A banana is yellow outside.So,when a person is a"banana",he or she is white inside-thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese.,意为,有时候人们称ABC为香蕉人.香蕉外面是黄色的.所以香蕉人就是里面是白色的,即像西方人那样的思考;而外面是黄色的,就像中国人一样.故这里的香蕉人是来比喻这些有着中国人的外表却有着西方人思想的人.故B选项是最佳答案.
27  D   细节理解题.根据he is an American citizen.虽然流着中国人的血但是却是美国人.故选D.
28  B  主旨大意题.这篇文章主要为我们讲述的是ABC,即海外华人.他们有着中国人的血统,中国人的外貌,但却不是中国公民.故选B.

1.Linguistic(语言学的) Puzzles
         How did language begin?What was the world's first language?Do all languages come from one,original language?(71)E.
         In the 4th century BC,the Greek historian Herodotus wrote this account:Psamtik I an Egyptian King,wanted to find out what the oldest language in the world was(72)B..He told his servant to find two newborn babies.When the servant had found them,the king gave them to a shepherd (牧羊人) and said,"Keep these babies with the goats.Take care of them,but do not talk to them.Listen for any words that they say."The king wanted to find out what language the children would speak if they were left alone.He said,"The first words they speak will come from the original language of the world."
(73)F. He told the king.who asked his scholars about this word.They told him that the Phiygians,who lived in an area which is now Turkey,called bread"becos."The king said,"Then Phiygian is the oldest language."Today we know that the king's conclusion was wrong.We don't know why the children said"becos".
(74)A.Scholars discovered that many European and southern Asian languages belonged to the same"family"and that they started from the same parent language,Proto-Indo-European.Linguists think that it had split into several different languages,including Greek and Sanskrit,between 2000 and 1000 BC.Other languages,such as English and Spanish,developed from later splits.
(75)G.Two questions that interest linguists are:How does language change?Why does language change?If you like solving mysteries,historical linguistics may be the job for you.

A.Nowadays,we study the origin of language more scientifically
B.He was talking about this problem with his scholars when he had an idea
C.The King was very kind to his servant and his servant remained royal to him
D.Linguists are the scholars who are very interested in categorizing the language families
E.People have been trying to find the answers to these questions for more than 2,000 years
F.One day,while the babies were babbling to each other,the shepherd heard them say"becos"
G.Linguists have classified many language families,and they are still trying to categorize others.

2.If there is one thing I am sure about,it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers.It is not that newspapers are a necessity.Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio.Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday.But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change.What basically makes news is what affects our lives-the big political stories,the coverage of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters,will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research,though.It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives,like genetic(基因)engineering.In the future,I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do-as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home.In fact,I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future.You will probably be able to choose from a menu,making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read-sports and international news,etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体).They actually  feed off  each other.Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers,but that hasn't happened.What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen of sound in the air.And as for the Internet,it is never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.

63.What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?D
A.Sports and international news.
B.A menu of important news.
C.The most important news.
D.What you are interested in.
64.From the text,we can infer thatD.
A.newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B.some media will die out
C.television will take the place of newspapers
D.newspaper will stay with us together with other media
65.The underlined phrase"feed off"in the last paragraph meansB.
A.compete with      B.depend on       
C.fight with        D.kill of
66.What is the best title for the text?B
A.The Best Way to Get News        B.The Future of Newspapers
C.Make Your Own Newspaper         D.The Changes of Media.

6.Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio.These public media receive money to operate from private citizens,organizations and government.Many of their programs are educational.But most of the American media are run by business for profit.These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years.Newspapers,magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity.At the same time,online,cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength.So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages.
In general,more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment.At the same time,fewer owners control them.Huge companies have many holdings (股份).In some areas,one company controls much of the media.One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television.It comes into most homes over wires.It does not use the public airwaves to present programs,as broadcast television does.Like broadcast television,most cable television programs perform advertisements.This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes.Thirty years ago,few people had cable.Today,abut sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television.Television by satellite is also gaining popularity.
Over the years,traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible.Many cable companies,however,present programs for one special group of viewers.For example,there are cable stations for people who like books,cooking,travel,golf or comedy.
29.Which of the following is true about American public media?D
A.They depend on the government.
B.They are controlled by the government
C.They are free       
D.They can earn money
30.From the second paragraph,we learn thatA.
A.broadcast TV and cable TV programs include sales messages
B.more media are out of control
C.American media is dramatic
D.cable TV is free
31The underlined word"airwaves"in Paragraph 2could best be replaced byA.
A.TV channels  B.TV stations   C.radio stations  D.satellite media
32.What would be the best title for the text?C
A.American news and entertainment   
B.Public television and radio media
C.Media in the United States     
D.Cable programs in the United States.

16.In China,chain restaurants-especially the big multinational ones-are cool.Going to Starbucks,for example,is a status symbol.It not only says,"I'm rich enough to buy this overpriced coffee,"but also,"I'm cosmopolitan (见多识广的) enough to be part of globalization."
Where I come from in the UK,however,chains are neither fashionable nor gourmet(美食的).Chains are where you go on New Year's Day when nowhere else is open,or when you are 5years old and your parents can't stand hearing,"I'm huuuuuungry!"any longer.In my own case (with regards to McDonald's),a chain is where you are taken on your first"date".Even at the age of 13,I knew to give the guy the"let's just be friends"phone call the next day.
In the UK,independent cafes and restaurants are making a comeback on the fashion scene.Nowadays,a Londoner who says"let's meet for a coffee at Monmouth"(an independent cafe) is much cooler than one who says"let's go to Starbucks".Even if Monmouth's coffee is a little more expensive,there's a satisfaction in knowing your pounds aren't going straight to the big corporations.
Of course,there are chain stores all over the UK; you can't go five minutes without spotting a Costa Coffee.But numbers do not add up to good taste.
I do,however,have a confession (坦白).After moving to China I had moments when all the rice and Kung Pao Chicken became too much.I,too,have retreated  to McDonald's.

24.Many Chinese people like to go to multinational chain restaurants becauseC.
A.the restaurants give customers a taste of foreign culture
B.the restaurants offer different food and drinks from other restaurants
C.they believe that eating there will show their wealth and social status
D.these restaurants are perfect places for a romantic date
25.Which of the following statements is TRUE?C
A.The author has grown tired of Chinese food.
B.Branches of Monmouth's cafe can be found all over the UK.
C.Most independent stores are closed on New Year's Day in the UK.
D.It is cool in the UK to take your first date to a chain restaurant.
26.We can infer from the article thatD.
A.the author doesn't like food from Pizza Hut
B.the author doesn't like to follow fashion trends
C.many Britons think that numbers mean poor quality
D.many Britons don't like big corporations
27.What does the underlined word (in the last paragraph) mean?D
A.adapted         B.contributed       
C.subscribed      D.switched.

20.Protagoras was among the great teachers of ancient Athens.He taught many subjects,including the laws of argument(辩论)and the right use of language.It is said that he was the first teacher to accept money for his services.
A student,Evalthus,heard of this famous teacher and asked him to give him lessons.However,Evalthus didn't want to pay for his lessons at once,and after some discussion it was finally agreed between them that Evalthus should pay only if he won his first case in the court.For if he won,it would prove that he had been taught well.
The lessons began and Evalthus proved himself to be a good student.But he refused to pay Protagoras anything at the end of his studies.
Protagoras therefore took Evalthus to the court and told the judges that he wanted his money.He explained that he must be paid whether he won or lost the case."Whatever you decide,"he declared(宣称)to the judges,"I must be paid.For if you decide in my favor(赞成),then I win the case,and so I must be paid.But if you decide against me,then Evalthus has won his first case in the court; according to our agreement,he must pay me for his lessons.Therefore,I shall get my money whatever happens."
The Athenian judges found no fault(过错)in it,so they asked Evalthus to reply.
"No,it's quite clear,"said Evalthus,"that I need not pay.If the judges decide in my favor,then I have won the case,and I need not pay.But if Protagoras wins,then I have lost my first case.Therefore,according to our agreement,I do not have to pay.So I need not pay in any event."
As both arguments appeared to be faultless,the judges were unable to come to a decision.They therefore ordered the two men to appear before them one hundred years later.
21.Evalthus would pay ProtagorasD.
A.before he started his lessons          
B.after he finished his lessons
C.after the court decided against him     
D.after the court proved that he was taught well.
22.What do we know about Protagoras?B
A.He won the judges'favor in the end and got his money.
B.He was probably the first teacher to accept money for his lessons.
C.He didn't teach Evalthus well because Evalthus didn't pay.
D.He was not confident of his winning the case in the court.
23.The underlined phrase"in any event"in the last but one paragraph meansA.
A.whatever it costs 
B.whatever happens
C.wherever it happens 
D.whenever it happens
24.Why did the judges ask Protagoras and Evalthus to come to the court one hundred years later?
A
A.They couldn't make a decision
B.They needed to think it over again.
C.They wanted to make fun of them.
D.They wanted more money from them.
25.What is probably the best title for the text?C
A.A Smart Student-Evalthus         
B.A Great Teacher-Protagoras
C.Come Here One hundred Years Later    
D.A Fight Between Teacher and Student.
