分析 短文讲了一个学习英式英语的学生想知道能否和美国人交流,介绍了英式英语和美式英语在语法、发音、拼写和词汇上的区别,但这些区别都是不重要的,大部分的英语两者都是一致的,英式英语或是美式英语其实都是相通的.

解答 54-56 CAD
54.C 推理判断题,根据第一段Learners of English often ask:What are the differences between British and American English?可知"一个正在学美式英语的学生会担心英国人听不明白他说的",故选C.
55.A 推理判断题,根据最后一段These differences in grammar,pronunciation,spelling and vocabulary are not important,however.For the most part,British and American English are the same language.可知短文提到了英式英语和美式英语在语法、发音、拼写和词汇有不同之处,但这些都不重要,他们就是同样的语言,因此A选项英式英语和美式英语之间的差异是如何产生的,没有提及到.
56.D 细节理解题,根据短文最后一句For the most part,British and American English are the same language.可知"美国人和英国人在理解彼此之间是没有什么困难的",故选D.

点评 题目涉及细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性地找出相关语句进行分析,结合选项找出正确答案,推理判断题要抓住关键语句对文章进行理解,才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据.

2.June 26,2000-the Human Genome Project,a great 3billion,15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans,is now more than 90percent completed.The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging human life.But those communities and policy makers also are careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.
For the last few years,the genetic advances in fast developing field of biotechnology(生物学) have provided material for all kinds of work,but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of the human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health,as well as for the popular imagination.
While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding human DNA,the leading organization for genetic research in the US,which began in 1990,is"unlocking the code"of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases.Already,the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with terrible diseases,and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.
Once these genes are found and studied,researchers can develop new ways to attack infections,and genetic diseases.Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome,as they expect to develop lots of new drugs for these diseases.

66.Why did the scientists work hard at mapping the Human Genome?B
A.Because it can destroy many illnesses.
B.Because its completion can help them get rid of many diseases.
C.Because it can provide a lot of chances of work.
D.Because they wanted to be better known than others.

A.Japan. B.Germany. C.The United States  D.European countries.
68.All of the following statements are correct except thatB.
A.if the genes can be found,scientists can study many new ways to cure illnesses
B.the USA began the genes study early in the 19th century
C.many medical companies show great interest in drawing the human genome map
D.the scientists have made great progress in connecting the genes with the cancers
69.The author suggests that the Human Genome Project can causeD.
A.the policy makers to feel very worried and careful
B.the scientists to work harder
C.many people to find work easily
D.a lot of companies to produce many new drugs
70.The main idea of this article isC.

9.In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six.At this stage nearly all the teachers are women,mostly married.The atmosphere is usually very friendly,and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested.The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were not recognized quite a long time ago-so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.
The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common interests.So the focus is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process.This may seem curious,in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however,the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education.Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas,and obviously quite a few as criminals,but it is not fair to say the educational system fails.It does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.

36.According to the passage,the teachers thought  ______ and ______ are very important in American school.D 
A.interest and knowledge             B.competition and friendliness
C.curiousness and kindness            D.happiness and interest
37.At present,many people argue about the idea of elementary school,becauseA.
A.schools give little actual instruction
B.schools focus a lot on knowledge study
C.children are not willing to help each other
D.schools pay more attention to competition.
38.Why do Americans focus on co-operation?B
A.Because American society is a highly competitive society
B.Because Americans accept the idea that people need to work together
C.Because co-operation will lead to a few criminals
D.Because American former educational system failed
39.The text tells us the following things about elementary education EXCEPTC.
A.the atmosphere in school     B.the aims    C.future      D.the method
40.The writer's attitude towards American education isA.
A.positive         B.negative    C.neutral (中立的).D.doubtful.
