    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

    为多余项。
    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.

    根据短文内容，从下框的A---F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。 选项中有一项为多余选项。
    A. Why to turn to alternative energy?
    B. How to use renewable energy?
    C. The sources of renewable energy
    D. What is renewable energy?
    E. Where is the solar energy from?
    F. The advantages of renewable energy.
    1. (     )
         When speaking about renewable energy, we are talking about power which gets its energy from resources
    which will not be diminished from the use. Renewable energy is a substitute for the non-renewable energy of
    fossil fuel.
    2. (     )
         One fundamental advantage of renewable energy, and environmentalists' favorite reason to promote its use,
    is that there are no greenhouse gases or other pollutants that give out as there are with the burning of fossil
    fuels. Renewable energy, or solar, water and wind power, are certainly not new although they have received
    much attention recently because they will not cause pollution. Environmentally friendly power sources such as
    wind, solar and water power have been used in both developing and developed countries for a long time
    because they are cheap and clean, but they have yet to be used as a primary source of energy for any big
    urban area.
    3. (     )
          The generation of power from renewable energy sources has become somewhat more common in recent
    times as people have increasingly become aware of issues such as climate change due to fossil fuel byproducts
    and the political or social worries about nuclear power. There are numerous countries and non-profit,
    environmentally conscious organizations that are supporting the use of renewable energy.
    4. (     )
         The flow of renewable energy has to do with naturally occurring phenomena. Tides, sunlight, wind and
    heat are all created by geothermal events and all are sources of energy. Each of these sources of energy has
    unique characteristics related to where and how we can use them.
    5. (      )
         Most technology which transforms renewable energy into power which we can use is solar powered either
    directly or indirectly. The atmospheric system of the earth keeps balance so that the heat which spreads out
    into space is equal to the amount of radiation received from the sun. The quantity of energy contained in the
    atmosphere approximates the earth's climate. The bodies of water of the earth, or its hydrosphere, absorb
    much of the radiation which is received from the sun. And much of that absorbed radiation is in the lower
    latitudes surrounding the equator.

         根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
         The need for love is deeply rooted in the human psyche(灵魂).    1   Separateness, according to
    psychologists, means to be cut off, helpless and alone in the world. It is the source of all anxiety.
           2   It can be selfish and possessive, or unselfish and giving. Abraham Maslow distinguishes between
    two kinds of love: B-love or "being love" means love for another person: unselfish love not dependent
    upon your own needs. D-love or "deficiency-love" is a selfish possessive love which is based upon
    someone else's ability to satisfy your needs.
         D-love is conditional. It depends upon whether personal needs continue to be met…But B-love is
    unconditional.    3   Furthermore, as it depends upon who you are, it is possible only when you allow
    yourself to be known to the other person.
         The psychologist Erich Fromm also distinguished between two types of love.    4   Symbiotic union
    is an immature love based upon the satisfaction of needs and is similar to Maslow's concept of D-love.
    Mature love, on the other hand, is a relationship that allows individuals to retain(保持) their independence, their identity, and their integrity. In mature love people can overcome their sense of separateness yet
    continue to be themselves. The mature lover would say , "I love you because I need you," but the mature
    one: "   5   "
    A. There are two types of love.
    B. I need you because I love you.
    C. Love is a way of overcoming the feeling.
    D. Every one of us needs love.
    E. It depends not upon what you do, but who you are.
    F. They are immature love, called by him symbiotic union(共同体), and mature love.
    G. These two types are quite different from each other.

         I was interested in reading a newspaper article about a new concept in old people's homes in France.
    The idea is simple, but revolutionary - combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school
    in the same building.   1   In the afternoon, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and
    if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle (拥抱). There are trips
    out and birthday parties too.
           2   The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention, and respond well
    because someone has time for them. They see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents
    are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the
    children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too.
           3   There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for aging relations, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for
    grandparents. But the result is the same-increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old
    people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along
    with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support.  4   
         That's why intergenerational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are
    growing in popularity all over the world.   5   Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one
    obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with
    children who need extra attention.
    A. The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned.
    B. There are examples of successful attempts all over the world.
    C. Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young.
    D. However, there are some similarities between the old and the young
    E. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities.
    F. No previous experience can we use to communicate between them.
    G. It's a major problem in many societies.
