    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.

    In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.

    The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.

    1.What would be the best title for this passage?

    A．The Difficulties of Learning English

    B．International Communications

    C．The Standard Varieties of English

    D．English as a World Language

    2.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

    A．Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.

    C．It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.

    D．People learn English for a variety of reasons.

    3.According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?

    A．It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.

    B．It is used in former British colonies.

    C．It serves the needs of its native speakers.

    D．It is a world language that is used for international communication.

    4.What forms an adequate working knowledge of English?

    A．The ability to read a newspaper.

     

    B．It is difficult to judge because it differs for each situation.

     

    C．Being able to speak several languages.

    D．Being a native speaker.

    5.What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English?

    A．Those geographically close to the United States.

    B．Those interested in the culture of the United States.

    C．Former colonies of Great Britain.

    D．Countries where international conferences are held.

    A. Gift giving proven to be valuable
    B. Memories from gift giving
    C. Moments and events for gift giving
    D. Various functions of gift giving
    E. Gift giving as a wasteful practice
    F. Gift giving as a two-way social activity
                                                                             Gift Giving
    1.______
         There are many occasions (场合) for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies: birthdays, naming
    ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations
    in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one's first day of school or graduation from university,
    often require gift giving.
    2.______
         What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me
    a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds
    up or confirms a social obligation (义务).
    3.______
         Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say
    that a gift lets the recipient (接受者) know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person "feel
    special." We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say
    "I'm sorry." Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things
    that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages-often very
    expressive ones.
    4.______ 
         People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago
    described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years:"I
    appreciate these, and they mean something to me," the woman said, "because I remember the occasions they
    were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we've had." The gifts remain and keep
    the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that
    the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come and remember her.
    5.______
         Emotions (情感) like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the
    anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful.
    Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many
    are given. The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.

         A 7.0 magnitude (级) earthquake killed more than 230,000 people in Haiti. Then an 8.8 magnitude
    quake killed more than 900 people in Chile. And few weeks later, a 6.0 magnitude quake struck rural
    eastern Turkey, killing at least 57 people.
         The earthquakes kept coming hard and fast.   1  It's not. The problem is what's happening above
    ground, not underground, experts say.
           2  They're rapidly putting up buildings that can't stand up to earth quakes, scientists believer.
         And news reports and better earthquake monitoring make it seem as if earth quakes are increasing all
    the time.
         On average, there are 134 earthquakes a year that have a magnitude between 6.0 and 6.9. So far this
    year there have been 40 earthquakes-more than in most years for that time period. But that's because the 8.8 quake in Chile caused a large number of strong aftershocks.
         Also, it's not the number of quakes, but their destructive effects that gain attention. The death is largely due to building standards,   3   Paul Earle, a US seismologist, called for better building standards in the
    world's big cities.
         Of the 130 cities worldwide with populations of more than I million, more than half are likely to be hit
    by earthquakes.   4  "If you have a problem feeding yourself, you're not really going to worry about
    earthquakes," said Paul.
         The earthquakes made everyone start to think   5   "People are paying attention to the violent planet
    we're always lived on. Come back an another six moths if there has been no earthquakes, most people
    will have forgotten it again," said US disaster researcher Dennis Mileti.
    A. But it won't last.
    B. More people are moving into big cities.
    C. Earthquakes don't kill people, buildings do.
    D. There have been more deaths overt the past decade from earthquakes.
    E. Many people began to wonder if something terrible is happening underground.
    F. While it seems as if the are more earthquakes occurring, there really aren't.
    G. But developing nations with growing populations don't pay attention to earthquake  preparedness.

         A good relationship (关系) with a teacher may help you learn better. But what should you do if you
    find it difficult to get along well with your teachers? Here are some tips.
         If you're having problems with a teacher, try to find out why.     1      Or do you like the subject but
    just dislike the teacher?
         If you don't like the subject, it can affect (影响) your relationship with the teacher. You should try to
    find the practical value in classes you don't like. You may hate math.    2    
         If you find a subject hard, talk to your teacher to be given more help.      3  
         It may help you raise your grade gradually.
             4   Show an interest in the subject, which may change your attitude towards your teacher. You
    can also talk to your teacher when he or she is free. Use this time to get extra help, ask questions, or talk
    about your progress in class. You may be surprised to learn that your teacher is a bit more relaxed and
    friendly than when lecturing in front of the whole class.
         If you don't agree with your teacher, do not quarrel with him or her.   5   Just as teachers need to
    be fair and treat everyone equally, students have responsibilities too. You don't have to like your teacher
    or agree with what he or she says, but it is necessary to be polite.
    A. What if you just don't like the teacher?
    B. Any teacher will give you some useful advice.
    C. Do you dislike the subject?
    D. What is your opinion about it?
    E. But learning it well can help you in everything from sports to leaving a tip(小费).
    F. And it's impossible to like everyone all the time.
    G. Common respect is a basic requirement of any relationship
