    C.推断题.从文章最后一段 Charles 所说的 Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying `no’ to everything 可知.不然的话就会遇到麻烦.故此题答案为C. (2) My husband and children think they are very lucky that they are living and that it’s Christmas again. They can’t see that we live on a dirty street in a dirty house among people who aren’t much good. But Johnny and children can’t see this. What a pity it is that our neighbours have to make happiness out of all this dirt. I decided that my children must get out of this. The money that we’ve saved isn’t nearly enough. The McGaritys have money but they are so proud. They look down upon the poor. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of candywhile a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts; and when she couldn’t eat any more she threw the rest down the sewer. Why, is it only because they have money ? There is more to happiness than money in the world, isn’t there? Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn’t rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. She can read your mind. I’d like to see the children be like Miss Jackson when they grow up. 【查看更多】

    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.

    B．There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.

    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.

    Drunk driving(醉驾) has become a serious problem in China. According to the Ministry of Public Security(公安部), the police caught more than half a million drunk drivers in 2010. On the night of May 9.2011. musician Gao Xiaosong ran his car into three other cars in Beijing because he drank too much wine. He was punished(惩罚) under China’s new drunk driving law that came into use on May 1.2011.

    The new law sees drunk driving as a crime(犯罪). In the west, drunk driving is also a crime. In the US, for example, if the police catch a drunk driver, the driver will pay a fine, lose his or her license and even go to prison(监狱). If the driver wants to drive again, he or she has to do public service, and take part in educational programs.

    　　Parents often believe that they have a good relationship with their teenagers．But last summer, Joanna and Henry noticed a change in their older son：suddenly he seemed to be talking far more to his friends than to his parents．“The door to his room is always shut, ”Joanna noted．

    　　Tina and Mark noticed similar changes in their 14-year-old daughter．“She used to cuddle up(蜷伏)with me on the sofa and talk, ”said Mark．“Now we joke that she does this only when she wants something．Sometimes she wants to be treated like a little girl and sometimes like a young lady．The problem is figuring out which time is which．”

    　　Before age 11, children like to tell their parents what’s on their minds．“In fact, parents are first on the list, ”said Michael Riera, author of Uncommon Sense for Parents with Teenagers．“This completely changes during the teen years, ”Riera explained．“They talk to their friends first, then maybe their teachers, and their parents last．”

    　　Parents who know what’s going on in their teenagers’ lives are in the best position to help them．To break down the wall of silence, parents should create chances to understand what their children want to say, and try to find ways to talk and write to them．And they must give their children a mental break, for children also need freedom, though young．Another thing parents should remember is that to be a friend, not a manager, with their children is a better way to know them．

    　　本文谈论的是父母与孩子关系的问题。乔安娜和亨利发现他们的儿子与他们交谈少了而与朋友交谈多了。提娜与马克夫妇在他们14岁的女儿身上也发现了同样的问题。文章最后一段建议父母做孩子的朋友而不是管理者。

    There seems never to have been a civilization(文明) without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.

    In the ancient world, as is today, most boys play with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are strictly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls after the tasks of their mothers. This is true because boys and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.

    What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. It is the universality of toys about their development in all parts of the world and their continuing to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, the Americas, China, Japan and among the Arctic peoples, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.

    Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to (服从于) technological progress that characterizes inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the oxcart to the automobile is a direct line of advancement. The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of materials then ready for use. (words: 285 ; time : 5ms)

    1. The reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that ________ .

    A. their social roles are strictly determined

    B. most boys would like to follow their fathers' jobs

    C. boys like to play with their fathers while girls with their mothers

    D. they like challenging activities.

    2. "The universality of toys" lies in the fact that ________ .

    A. technological advances have greatly improved the making of toys

    B. the improvement of techniques in making toys depends on the efforts of universities

    C. the exploration of the universe has led to the creation of new kinds of toys

    D. the basic characteristics of toys are the same all over the world

    3. Regarded as a kind of art form, toys ________.

    A. follow a direct line of development

    B. also greatly interest adults

    C. are not characterized by progress in technology

    D. show the pace of social progress

    （C）篇

    1. A。由原文第二段第二句可知。

    2. D。根据文章第三段第一句和第三句可知,玩具的基本的特征变化不大。

    3. C。由文章最后一段第一句可知,玩具作为一种艺术形式,不因科技变化而变化。
