Section III Reading comprehension (40 points)
Directions:
Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Passage One
Prior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance and preservation.
It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and cultural diversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it :population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the world’s last isolated locations; mass tourism; global telecommunications and mass media; and the spread of gigantic global corporations. All of these forces appear to signify a future in which the language of advertising, popular culture, and consumer products become similar. Already English and a few other major tongues have emerged as global languages of commerce and comm unication. For many of the world’s peoples, learning one of these languages is viewed as the key to education, economic opportunity, and a better way of life.
Only about 3,000 languages now in use are expected to survive the coming century. Are most of the rest doomed in the century after that?
Whether most of these languages survive will probably depend on how strongly cultural groups wish to keep their identity alive through a native language. To do so will require an emphasis on bilingualism（mastery of two languages）. Bilingual speakers could use their own
language in smaller spheres---at home, among friends, in community settings---and a global language at work, in dealings with government, and in commercial spheres. In this way, many small languages could sustain their cultural and linguistic integrity alongside global languages, rather than yield to the homogenizing（同化的）forces of globalization.
Ironically, the trend of technological innovation that has threatened minority languages could also help save them. For example, some experts predict that computer software translation tools will one day permit minority language speakers to browse the Internet using their native tongues. Linguists are currently using computer—aided learning tools to teach a variety of threatened languages.
For many endangered languages, the line between revival and death is extremely thin. Language is remarkably resilient（有活力的）,however. It is not just a tool for communicating, but also a powerful way of separating different groups, or of demonstrating group identity. Many indigenous（原生的，土著的）communities have shown that it is possible to live in the modern world while reclaiming their unique identities through language.
41.Minority languages can be best preserved in __________.
A．an increasingly interconnected world
B．maintaining small numbers of speakers
C．relatively isolated language communities
D．following the tradition of the 20th century
42.According to Paragraph 2, that the world can maintain its linguistic diversity in the future is _______.
A．uncertain B．unrealistic C．foreseeable D．definite
43.According to the author, bilingualism can help_________.
A．small languages become acceptable in work places
B．homogenize the world’s languages and cultures
C．global languages reach home and community settings
D．speakers maintain their linguistic and cultural identity
https://www.doczj.com/doc/ea18792784.html,puter technology is helpful for preserving minority languages in that it_________. A．makes learning a global language unnecessary
B．facilitates the learning and using of those languages
C．raises public awareness of saving those languages
D．makes it easier for linguists to study those languages
45.In the author’s view, many endangered languages are________.
A．remarkably well-kept in this modern world
B．exceptionally powerful tools of communication
C．quite possible to be revived instead of dying out
D．a unique way of bringing different groups together
Passage Two
Everyone，it seems，has a health problem。After pouring billions into the National Health Service，British people moan about dirty hospitals，long waits and wasted money. In Germany the new chancellor, Angela Merkel, is under fire for suggesting changing the financing of its health system. Canada’s new Conservative Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, made a big fuss during the election about reducing the country’s lengthy medical queues. Across the rich world, affluence, ageing and advancing technology are driving up health spending faster than income.
But nowhere has a bigger health problem than America. Soaring medical bills are squeezing wages, swelling the ranks of the uninsured and pushing huge firms and perhaps even the gove rnment towards bankruptcy. Ford’s announcement this week that it would cut up to 30.000 jobs by 2012 was as much a sign of it’s―legacy ‖ health –care costs as of the ills of the car industry. Pushed by polls that show health care is one of his main domestic problems and by forecasts showing that the retiring baby-boomers (生育高峰期出生的人) will crush the government’s finances, George Bush is to unveil a reform ;plan in next week’s state-of –the –union address.
America’s health system is unlike any other. The Unite States spends 16% of its GDP on health, around twice the rich-country average, equivalent to $6,280 for every American each year. Yet it is the only rich country that does not guarantee universal health coverage. Thanks to an accident of history, most Americans receive health insurance through their employer, with the government picking up the bill for the poor and the elderly.
This curious hybrid（混合物）certainly has its strengths. Americans have more choice than anybody else, and their health-care system is much more innovative. Europeans’ bills could be much higher if American medicine were not doing much of their Research and Development （R&D）for them. But there are also huge weaknesses. The one most often cited—especially by foreigners—is the army of uninsured. Some 46 million Americans do not have cover. In many cases that is out of choice and ,if they fall seriously ill, hospitals have to treat them. But it is still deeply unequal. And there are also shocking inefficiencies: by some measures,30% of American health spending is wasted.
Then there is the question of state support. Many Americans disapprove of the ―socialized medicine‖ of Can ada and Europe. In fact, even if much of the administration is done privately, around 60% of America’s heath-care bill ends up being met by the government. Proportionately, the American state already spends as much on health as the OECD（Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development）average, and that share is set to grow as the baby-boomers run up their Medicare bills and ever more employers avoid providing health-care coverage. America is , in effect, heading towards a version of socialized medicine by default.
46.Health problems mentioned in the passage include all the following EXCEPT_________.
A. poor hospital conditions in U.K.
B. Angela Merkel under attack
C. health financing in Germany
D. long waiting lines in Canada
47.Ford’s ann ouncement of cutting up to 30,000 jobs by 2012 indicates that Ford_________.
A. has the biggest health problem of the car industry
B. has made profits from its health-care legacy
C. has accumulated too heavy a health-care burden
D. owes a great deal of debt to its employees
48.In the author’s opinion, America’s health system is _________.
A. inefficient
B. feasible
C. unpopular
D. successful
49.It is implied in the passage that_________.
A. Americ a’s health system has its strengths and weaknesses
B. the US government pays medical bills for the poor and the elderly
C. some 46 million Americans do not have medical insurance
D. Europeans benefit a lot from America’s medical research
50.from the last paragraph we may learn that the ―socialized medicine‖ is____________.
A. a practice of Canada and Europe
B. a policy adopted by the US government
C. intended for the retiring baby-boomers
D. administered by private enterprises
Passage Three
When Thomas Keller, one of America’s foremost chefs, announced that on Sept. I he would abolish the practice of tipping at Per Se. his luxury restaurant in New York City, and replace it with European-style service charge, I knew three groups would be opposed: customers, servers and restaurant owners. These three groups are all committed to tipping——as they quickly made clear on Web sites. To oppose tipping , it seems, is to be anticapitalist , and maybe even a little French..
But Mr. Keller is right to move away from tipping—and it’s worth exploring why just about everyone else in the restaurant world is wrong to stick with the practice.
Customers believe in tipping because they think it makes economic sense.―Waiters know that they won’t get paid if they don’t do a good job‖is how most advocates of the system would put it. To be sure, this is a tempting, apparently rational statement about economic theory, but it appears to have little applicability to the real world of restaurants.
Michael Lynn, an associate professor of consumer behavior and marketing at Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, has conducted dozens of students of tipping and has concluded that consumers assessments of the quality of service correlate weakly to the amount they tip.
Rather, customers are likely to tip more in response to servers touching them lightly and leaning forward next to the table to make conversation than to how often their water glass is refilled——in other words, customers tip more when they like the server, not when the service is good. Mr. Lynn’s studies also indicate that male customers increase their tips for female servers while female customers increase their tips for male servers,.
What’s more,. consumers seem to forget that th e tip increases as the bill increases. Thus, the tipping system is an open invitation to what restaurant professionals call ―upwelling‖: every bottle of imported water, every espresso and every cocktail is extra money in the server’s pocket. Aggressive upwelling for tips is often rewarded while low-key, quality service often goes unrecognized.
In addition , the practice of tip pooling , which is the norm in fine-dining restaurants and is becoming more in every kind of restaurant above the level of a greasy spoon , has ruined whatever effect voting with your tip might have had on an individual waiter . In an unreasonable outcome , you are punishing the good waiters in the restaurant by not tipping the bad one . Indeed , there
appear to be little connection between tipping and good service .
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: Prior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance and preservation.
It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and cultural diversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it :population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the world’s last isolated locations; mass tourism; global telecommunications and mass media; and the spread of gigantic global corporations.

Passage Four
―I promise.‖ ― I swear to you it’ll never happen again.‖ ―I give you my word.‖ ―Honestly. Believe me.‖ Sure, I trust. Why not? I teach English composition at a private college. With a certain excitement and intensity. I read my students’ essays, hoping to find the person behind the pen. As each semester progresses, plagiarism（剽窃）appears. Not only is my intelligence insulted as one assumes I won’t detect a polished piece of prose from an otherwise-average writer, but I feel a sadness that a student has resorted to buying a paper from a peer. Writers have styles like fingerprints and after several assignments, I can match a student’s work with his or her name even if it’s missing from the upper left-hand corner.
Why is learning less important than a higher grade-point average（GPA）? When we’re threatened or sick, we make conditional promises. ―If you let me pass math I will ….‖ ―Lo rd, if you get me over this before the big homecoming game I’ll….‖ Once the situation is behind us, so are the promises. Human nature? Perhaps, but we do use that cliché（陈词滥调）to get us out of uncomfortable bargains. Divine interference during distress is asked; gratitude is unpaid. After all, few fulfill the contract, so why should anyone be the exception. Why not ?
Six years ago, I took a student before the dean. He had turned in an essay with the vocabulary and sentence structure of PhD thesis. Up until that time, both his out-of-class and in-class work were borderline passing.
I questioned the person regarding his essay and he swore it I’d understand this copy would not have the time and attention an out-of-class paper is given, but he had already a finished piece so he understood what was asked. He sat one hour, then turned in part of a page of unskilled writing and faulty logic. I confronted him with both essays. ―I promise…., I’m not lying. I swear to you that I wrote the essay. I’m just nervous today.‖
The head of the English department agreed with my finding, and the meeting with the dean had the boy’s parents present. After an hour of discussion, touching on eight of the boy’s previous essays and his grade-point average, which indicated he was already on academic probation（留校察看）, the dean agreed that the student had plagiarized. His parents protested, ―He’s only a child‖ and we instructors are wiser and should be compassionate. College people are not really children and most times would resen t being labeled as such…. Except in this uncomfortable circumstance.
56.According to the author, students commit plagiarism mainly for_____.
A．money B．degree C．higher GPA D．reputation
57.the sentence ― Once the situation is behind us , so are the promises’ implies that_________. A．students usually keep their promises
B．some students tend to break their promises
C．the promises are always behind the situation
D．we cannot judge the situation in advance, as we do to the promises
58.The ―borderline passing‖（Line 3,Para.3）probably means____________.
A．fairly good B．extremely poor
C．above average D．below average
59.The boy’s parents thought their son should be excused mai nly because_______________. A．teachers should be compassionate
B．he was only a child
C．instructors were wiser
D．he was threatened
60.Which of the following might serve as the title of this passage?
A．Human Nature B．Conditional Promises
C．How to Detect Cheating D．The Sadness of Plagiarism

Powering the great ongoing changes of our time is the rise of human creativity as the defining feature of economic life. Creativity has come to be valued, because new technologies, new industries and new wealth flow from it. And as a result, our lives and society have begun to echo with creative ideas. It is our commitment to creativity in its varied dimensions that forms the underlying spirit of our age.
Creativity is essential to the way we live and work today, and in many senses always has been. The big advances in standard of living –-not to mention the big competitive advantages in the marketplace--always have come from‖ better recipes, not just more cooking.‖ One might argue that’s not strictly true. One might point out, for instance, that durin g the long period from the early days on the Industrial Revolution to modern times, much of the growth in productivity and material wealth in the industrial nations came not just from creative inventions like the steam engine, but from the widespread appli cation of ―cooking in quantity‖ business methods like massive division of labor ,concentration of assets, vertical integration and economies of scale. But those methods themselves were creative developments.

人类创造力的提升,作为经济生活所定义的特征,为我们这个时代正在发生的巨大变化,提供了巨大的动力。因为新的技术,新的工业,新的财富都伴随着创造力产生,创造力逐渐受到重视。所以,我们的生活中和社会中,开始回响着创造性的思想。正是我们在各个方面对创造力的认同,形成了我们这个时代潜在的精神。创造力对于我们今天的生活和工作是致关重要的,从许多意义上来说曾经也是。在不设计大市场中大的竞争优势的情况下,生活水平的大幅度提高总是来自更好的食谱,而不是更多的烹饪。也许会有人提出这并不完全正确。有人也许会举例指出,从早期的工业革命到现代化时代这么长的时期内,在工业领域中,许多生产效率的进步和物质财富的增长并不仅仅来源煜创造性的发明,如蒸气机,还来源于讲求量的商业方法的广泛应用,比如大规模的劳动力划分,资本集中,纵向联合和经济规模。但是这些方法本身就是创造性的发展。

Dear Sir or Madam,
As a student who can support myself financially, I am writing to inquire if you can help me find a potential beneficiary of Project Hope.
I wonder whether it is convenient for you if two things regarding the child are taken into account. For one thing, it will be preferable if the child comes from Sichuan Province, for I am intended to help a child from my hometown. For another, it will be better if he or she is a primary school student who was forced to drop school because of abject poverty.
I would like to help the recipient of my assistance annually till his graduation from a university. Above all, the money I will pay will cover his tuition fee and other expenses at school. Besides, I will correspond with him once a month so that he can get advice whenever he needs. Thank you for your time and your prompt attention to my inquiry would be highly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Zhang Wei

1．认真分析表格信息、揣测图表制作意图
今年的图表是一个关于中国某城市2005年汽车交通事故引发的原因和趋势的分析表。图中分析造成事故原因主要有司机转弯时粗心、司机行车过程中未和别的车保持安全车距、行人不按规矩穿行马路、司机酒后驾车、以及司机未能及时发出信号等5个原因。其中，引
发事故最多的是司机转弯时粗心和未能保持安全车距、以及行人穿行马路三项原因。而在这些原因中，引发事故案例增长速度最快的是酒后驾车、驾驶粗心和行人乱穿马路。由此我们可以窥测到出题人意在指出，交通出行的各个参与者都对交通事故的多发负有一定责任，并且这些事故都是可以避免的。
从话题上来看，2007年是一个重大交通事故频发的年代，而且酒后驾车越来越多的成为交通事故的幕后黑手。整个社会开始对这个事情给予极其高度的重视。因此英语二的考察话题上来讲，仍然以社会关注热点为主。
2．结合题目指令，策划文章框架
(1)简明描述图表：虽然图表数据较多，描述时却不能面面俱到，适当引用即可。
(2)分析现象背后的原因。或者粗心或者酒后。总之交通参与者没有给予重视。
(3)做出自己的评论：阐述自己的相关看法，可以是建议或者号召等。

In 2005, causing respectively 608, 411, and 401 accidents, drivers careless turning left, drivers keeping too close to other vehicles, and pedestrians crossing roads carelessly are on the top of the list of the main reasons for accidents. Another noticeable change is the jump of accidents due to drunk driving, with an increase of 15%.
It is not difficult for us to come up with some possible factors that are responsible for the phenomenon depicted in the table. For one thing, both drivers and pedestrians apparently have not realized that the consequence of careless driving or walking is actually serious. Lack of full attention to this could lead to great loss in themselves and others. For another, the implementation of the traffic regulations of our country had not be strictly obeyed. And when they violate the traffic rules, they did not got due punishment.
Therefore, both the government and the ordinary people are obliged to work to change such situation. Drivers should drive his car carefully, especially when the weather is bad; and pedestrians should not cross a road when the traffic lights do not permit them to; and the government should also formulate relative rules and regulations to predict the drivers and travelers to go against the rules, and to make them refrain themselves from perform casually.

Can privacy be preserved 2 bringing safety and security to a world that seems increasingly 3 ? Last month，Howard Schmidt，the nation‘s cyber-czar，offered the federal government a 4 to make the Web a safer place-a “voluntary trusted identity”system that would be the high-tech 5 of a physical key，a fingerprint and a photo ID card，all rolled 6 one.
