　小题1:　This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.
　小题2:　He decided to turn his little school house into a dormitory for the summer holidays. Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success. A few years later, the school house was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there. 　小题3:　This was the first hostel(青年招待所).
Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to know each other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their cards of membership in a hostel organization in their own country. 　小题4:
Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country or world will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinner with many kinds of dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal with dances, songs, or short talks followed by a question period. 　小题5:　For this reason, a few weeks spent ‘hostelling’ can be just as useful a part of one’s education as classes in school.

A．In 1970, a young German school master had an idea which changed this situation.

B．People could stay in the hostel if they brought enough equipment with them.

C．One can learn a lot about other places, just by meeting people from those places.

D．As a result, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby.

E. For years, children in the industrial areas of Europe seldom left their cities to see the beauties of the countryside.
F. More and more young people went to the hostel for summer holidays.
G. This card will permit them to stay in a hostel all over the world for very low prices.

小题1:E
小题2:A
小题3:D
小题4:G
小题5:C

小题2:选A。下句话的主语是he, 故在上一句话会出现把学校房子转化成宿舍的那个人, 故选A项。
小题3:选D。前面一句话提到那间房子太小了, 接下来这个校长就会想办法找个大点的地方, 故选D项。
小题4:选G。上一句提到来到这个地方需要出示一张卡片, 接下来应该讲这张卡片的作用, 即G项。

In today’s throwaway society，dealing with the city’s growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council (市议会)．
Recently，Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of (处理) about 250,000 million tons of waste a year.Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner—largely through encouraging recycling—its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.
The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy，regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of.The five councils (Edinburgh，East Lothian，West Lothian，Midlothian and Borders) face fines around ￡18 million a year from 2013 if they don’t increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill.With this in mind，the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂) to burn half of the waste produced in their districts.But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city’s waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.
After the plan was abandoned，a private company which already transported millions of tons of the city’s waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar，offered an
alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.
Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015，it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion.But soon they turned it down—after 700 local objections reached them—because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.
That still leaves the council with a problem.By 2013，only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill.Even if recycling targets are met，there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up.Due to this，Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.(2011·湖北，C)
小题1:The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is ________.

A．recycling	B．restoring
C．burying	D．burning

小题2:The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to ________.

A．reduce the cost of burying waste

B．meet the EU requirements

C．speed up waste recycling

D．replace landfill sites

小题3:The city council of Edinburgh rejected the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because ________.

A．it came from a private company

B．the council was not interested in it

C．it was not supported by EU

D．the local people were against it

小题4:What is the final decision of Edinburgh and Midlothian councils?

A．To open a new landfill nearby.

B．To close the Powderhall landfill in 2015.

C．To set up a plant for burning waste.

D．To persuade people to reduce their waste.

After living in the United States for quite a long time, I do not think about the cultural differences any more. Last month, my parents came to visit me. Their observations (观察) on the American lifestyle reminded me that cultural differences between living in China and America are actually everywhere.
When my parents came to America, they praised my house. Everyone had his/her own bedroom; there was a front yard, a backyard and a garage; there were many bathrooms – all convenient and comfortable. However, they were not used to the glass doors at the first floor. My mom, from southern China, was worried that someone would break open the glass doors. Though I said that nobody would do that, she was still worried about it.
When I brought them to eat in fast food restaurants, whether it was in McDonald’s or KFC, they saw that refilling drinks was for free. This concept (观念) of free refill was so new to them.
A Chinese friend told me a story. He and his American girlfriend ate at a restaurant. His girlfriend wanted to drink English tea. He was curious, so he tried some and found that it didn’t taste bad with milk and sugar in it. Adding more water to tea is free of course, so he drank more cups. His girlfriend found it embarrassing and explained to him that what he was doing was not exactly fair. If he wanted to drink more tea, he should buy another cup. My friend thought that Americans could take advantage of the free refills, but only a few of them did that. After staying in America for some time, he changed his habit.
小题1:We can infer that the writer _____.

A．doesn’t like American culture

B．has got used to her life in America

C．received an American education as a child

D．thinks American and Chinese cultures are the same

小题2:What made the writer’s parents worried?

A．That someone would break into the house.

B．That someone would be hurt by the glass doors.

C．That they wouldn’t have a bedroom of their own.

D．That they wouldn’t live comfortably in the house.

小题3:When eating at McDonald’s for the first time in America, the writer’s parents were probably surprised that _____.

A．there were so many choices

B．the prices for food were so low

C．they could refill drinks for free

D．they could get extra food for free

小题4:The American girl mentioned in the last paragraph thought that _____.

A．Americans like taking advantage of other people

B．her boyfriend wouldn’t like traditional English tea

C．drinking too much English tea harmed people’s health

D．her boyfriend shouldn’t take advantage of the free refills

Can a Language Become Extinct?
A language can become extinct when the last person who can speak it passes away. Or more likely when the secondlast person who speaks it dies because then there is no one left to talk to. According to linguists (语言学家) there is nothing unusual about a single language dying out. But what is happening today is quite remarkable. According to the recent statistics, there are approximately 6,000 languages in the world as we speak. Of these, about half are going to die out in the next century.
There are several reasons as to why a language can eventually die out. These range from natural disasters, such as hurricanes, to sociological factors, like cultural assimilation, in which the culture of a minority group is gradually replaced by a stronger one. The former can cause tribes to leave their natural habitat(栖息地) and therefore become fewer and fewer in number. However, it doesn't happen very frequently. In fact, the latter is a much bigger threat and it is responsible for the extinction of a lot of languages in countries like the USA and Australia. For instance, Chemehuevi is one of the languages which is really close to dying out since its sole speaker is an old, yet healthy, man named Johnny Hill, Jr.
It is very important for as many languages as possible to be preserved. Scientists have been trying to raise people's awareness on how certain tribes have specific words which cannot be expressed in let's say English simply because there is no equal meaning. Namely, the Yupik of Alaska have 99 names to describe different layers of ice formation, or how the Tofa of Siberia classify reindeer (驯鹿). In other words, when languages die out, mankind's wisdom reduces.
On a happier note, there are many famous cases which show what can be done to preserve languages in danger of extinction. In particular, the Maori in New Zealand have created socalled “language nests”： organizations which help children under five learn the language. They provide them with a setting where they are exposed to the language intensively so that they get to realise that communicating in Maori is as natural as communicating in English. There is always, of course, the risk that the children won't keep the language alive after they have left their “nests”. Nevertheless, hope dies hard.
小题1:What most probably caused the death of languages in the USA and Australia?

A．Habitats were lost.

B．Natural disasters struck.

C．Native cultures disappeared.

D．Foreign languages were spoken.

小题2:In Paragraph 3, the author states his opinion by ________

A．listing definitions

B．providing examples

C．presenting causes and effects

D．comparing with other opinions

小题3:What does the author really intends to tell us in the last paragraph?

A．Attempts may not produce the desired effect.

B．Environment is important in language protection.

C．People can do little about a language's extinction.

D．Measures should be taken in spite of difficulties.

小题4:The author believes that ________.

A．all languages are finally going to die out

B．human wisdom can be reflected in languages

C．the protective approaches have proved ineffective

D．the current situation of languages hardly requires attention

What is a six-letter word that immediately comes to mind when you need some information on the Internet? You probably thought of Google. But Google wasn’t always the name of the famous search engine. In fact, the original name was BackRub!
BackRub was the name two graduate students gave to the new search engine they developed in 1996. They called it BackRub because the engine used backlinks to measure the popularity of Web sites. Later, they wanted a better name — a name that suggests huge quantities of data. They thought of the word googol. (A googol is a number followed by 100 zeros.) When they checked the Internet registry of names to see if googol was already taken, one of the students misspelled the word by mistake, and that’s how Google was born.
Google is just one example of a name change in the business world. Many other companies have decided to change their names or the names of their products. Here are some more examples:
Jerry Yang and David Filo, two young computer specialists, developed a guide to Internet content in 1994. They called it “Jerry and David’s Guide to World Wide Web.” But they soon realized that this wasn’t a very catchy name, so they searched through a dictionary and found a better one: “Yahoo.”
Sometimes companies change their names because of the popularity of one of their products. In 1962, a young runner named Phil Knight started a company called Blue Ribbon Sports. In 1971, Knight decided to design and manufacture his own brand of shoes. He named the shoes after the Greek goddess of victory — Nike. Nike shoes became so well known that Knight changed the name of the whole company to Nike.
小题1:According to the text, Google .

A．has been famous since 1996

B．is a result of a spelling mistake

C．means a number followed by 100 zeros

D．is the original name of the search engine

小题2:Jerry and David changed the guide’s name to Yahoo because the original name .

A．had been registered	B．had been forgotten
C．was not attractive	D．was too short

小题3:The company Nike got its name from .

A．its founders	B．its customers
C．its popular products	D．its advanced techniques

小题4:Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．The name changes	B．The history of Google
C．How to choose a name?	D．Why are names important?

In English the spelling of words does not always represent the sound. So people say /rait/ but spell it right or write, or even rite. Combinations of letters may be pronounced in many ways. And some words just seem to have too many letters.
　 For Americans things are a little bit easier, thanks to the work of Noah Webster, a teacher who graduated from Yale University in 1778. As a young man, he had fought against the British in the American War of Independence, and he felt that written English in the newly independent United States should have a distinctive American look.
　 So he began his work on American English. His first book, The Elementary Spelling Book, suggested simplifying the spelling of English words. The book was extremely popular. By the 1850s, it was selling one million copies a year, making it one of the most popular school books ever.
　 Many of the suggestions were quickly adopted. Center instead of centre, program instead of programme, and flavor instead of flavour. Others, however, such as removing silent letters like s in island or the final e in examine, were not .
Webster is best known for his American Dictionary of the English language, which first appeared in 1828. It introduced lots of new American words, with information about their pronunciation and use, and, of course, the new spelling. The British criticized the dictionary, but it quickly became a standard reference book in the States. Today, Webster's dictionary is still the number one dictionary for American students.　　
小题1:What is the text mainly about?

A．Webster and his best sellers.

B．British and American English.

C．The history of American English.

D．The man who made spelling simple.

小题2:Which is the right order according to the text?
①Webster graduated from Yale University.
②American Dictionary of the English language came out.
③Webster's book was selling one million copies a year.
④Webster took part in the American War of Independence.

A．②①③④

B．③①②④

C．④①③②

D．①②③④

小题3:What can we learn from the text?
A. All the spelling of words does not represent the sound.
B. The Elementary Spelling Book was published in the 1850s.
C. Webster's suggestions were accepted completely.
小题4:What attitude do the British have towards Webster's dictionary?

A．They thought highly of it.

B．They found fault with it.

C．They argued bitterly about it.

D．They followed the examples of it.

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative (保守) person who is        only among those with whom he is familiar. When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous,          embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train (通勤车) any morning or evening to     the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or     off in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive (冒犯的).
        , there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once     , makes the offender immediately the object of      .
One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n)       to the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it      . Some people argue that it is because the British weather     follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly a British cannot have much      in the weathermen, whose predictions, in many cases,          to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurate – or as inaccurate – as the weathermen in his      .
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references      weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are       by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Beautiful day!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?”       the foreigner may consider this exaggerated (夸大) and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his      . If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is      to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n)       subject to which a response may well be     of even the most reserved of the British.
