中国地质大学《大学英语综合教程4》口语考试试题及答案第一篇：中国地质大学《大学英语综合教程4》口语考试试题及答案中国地质大学《大学英语综合教程4》口语考试试题Part II (6minutes) Group discussion.考试试题（1）Man and Nature.(Individuals can do nothing to improve the environment: only government and large companies can make a difference. T o what extent do you agree or disagree?) 先看政府和大公司如何改善环境，政府为促进环境的改善，已经采取了很多的措施（adopt feasible measures），如严厉惩罚污染环境的人和机构，提倡使用环保袋，少用一次性产品（disposable products），另外大公司可以投入资金（investment）寻求探索新能源，彻底解决汽车尾气排放等污染问题：In an attempt to preserve the environment, the related departments have already settled down a range of effective regulations such as severe punishment, to promote the improvement of environment.Besides, with ample funds, the large corporations are qualified to exploit and create new products applying clean energies, thus eliminating the contaminations stemming from old energies.最后，提出个人在保护环境中也起到关键作用（Perform an essential role in），从小事做起：Apart from governments and companies, the individuals are well advised to endeavor to make contributions to this campaign, such as refusing to use disposable products.通过上述正文的论证，我们可以在结尾段得出结论，只有三方共同努力（make joint efforts），对于环境保护才能起促进作用。

He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon（动画片）film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said, "Stop! That's our duck!"The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn'ta goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today's children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.(30分)1).

When was the first Donald Duck film made?_______(6分)(A) In 1933(B) In 1934(C) In 1966(D) In 1985参考答案：BBackground music may seem harmless, but it can have a powerful effect on those who hear it. Recorded background music first found its way into factories, shops and restaurants in the USA. Very soon it spread to other parts of the world. Now it is becoming difficult to go shopping or eat a meal without listening to background music.To begin with, background music was intended simply to create a soothing （舒适的）atmosphere. Recently, however, it's becoming a big business. An American marketing expert has shown that music can boost（提升）sales or increase factory production by as much as a third.But it has to be the light music. Lively music has no effect at all on sales. Slow music can increase receipts（收入）by 34%. This is probably because shoppers slow down and have more opportunity to spot items they would liketo buy. Yet, slow music isn't always the answer. The expert found that in restaurants slow music meant customers took longer to eat their meals, which reduced overall sales. So restaurant owners might be well advised to play faster music to keep the customers moving－unless, of course, the resulting indigestion（消化不良）leads to complaints.(30分)6).

CHINA UNIVERSITY OF GEOSCIENCEPh.D. Entrance Examination in English11 May 1994LISTEN TO THISHello! You are about to take the English test for people who wish to enter the doctoral program in the earth sciences at this school. The test may be rather different from any exam you’ve taken in the past. The first part is a timed listening exercise. The second part will assess your reading comprehension; you will probably be most familiar with the format of the exam. The last part tests your ability to produce good, grammatical English in simple, ordinary situations.Make sure you read and follow the directions for each part of the test.The results of this exam will enable us to compare your preparation in English with that of the other candidates. The “passing” grade is relative; in other words, it will depend on the scores for the whole body of test-takers. You should just relax and do as well as you can. Only the first part is timed; for parts 2 and 3 you will have plenty of time.We shall now begin. Turn the page to part 1. Good luck.PART 1.On your paper you see a list of 48 objects (= things) from everyday life. You will hear short descriptions of 20 of these objects. After listening to each description, decide which object is being described. Then write your answer in the appropriate space on your answer sheet.For example, suppose you hear this: “Object U is a device for cleaning clothes. You fill it with water, add soap, then the dirty clothes, and turn the control dial. The clothes will be swirled round and round in the soapy water, first in one direction, then in the other. Usually there is also a compartment that you can use to spin the excess water out of the clothes.” You decide that object U is a washing machine. you look for WASHING MACHINE on your list. You see that the number next to WASHING MACHINE is 46. You then write “46” next to U on your answer sheet. (Of course, your actual answer sheet only goes as far as the letter T.) You will now have three minutes to look over the list of objects.1. AIR CONDITIONER2. ALARM CLOCK3. ARMCHAIR4. BED5. BICYCLE6. CAMERA7. CANDLE8. CAR9. CARPET10. CHOPSTICKS11. COMB12. DESK13. DOORKNOB14. ELECTRIC FAN15. FAX MACHINE16. FLASHLIGHT 17. FORK18. GUITAR19. HAMMER20. LIGHTBULB21. MIRROR22. MOP23. MOTORCYCLE24. PAGER25. PERSONAL COMPUTER26. PHONOGRAPH27. PHOTOCOPIER28. PIANO29.

VACUUM CLEANER45. VCR46. WASHING MACHINE47. WATER HEATER48. WRISTWATCHANSWERSA B C D E F G HIJKLMNOPQRSTPART 2.Carefully read the passage below and then answer the questions that follow. Mark the correct answer by drawing a small circle around the letter of the response you have chosen.There are 15 questions in all, but each question is worth two points on this test. Thus the total value of part 2 is 30 points out of 100 for the test as a whole.The woman, 69 years old and still active as a professor at Harvard University, told a research team that she had begun to find it hard to recall the names of newer faculty members. Not long ago she had forgotten her classroom number when asking for a slide projector to be send up. She had one anxious question for the research team, assembled to study the normal course of mental aging: “Am I losing my ability to remember, and perhaps even to think clearly?”That question is the principle focus of a new wave of scientific inquiry on the decline in mental ability with age. The findings are challenging some basic assumptions, like the believe that such decline is a natural part of the aging process, irrespective of general health.From 20 to 30 percent of people in their 80s who volunteer for cognitive testing perform as well as volunteers in their 30s and 40s, who are presumably in their mental prime. The intellectual and creative productivity in later life of certain artists and intellectuals may represent not so much an exception as an ideal, some experts now say.Dr. K.W. Schaie, a psychologist at Pennsylvania State University, is the director of a major study of normal mental decline in the elderly. For over 35 years, his study has been f ollowing more than 5000 men and women who have been tested regularly. Dr. Schaie’s investigations seek to fill a gap in gerontological research, which, according to Dr. Jack Rowe, president of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and a leading expert in the field, has focused on disease and disability, and neglected the prospects of maintaining high functioning in old age. Dr. Rowe heads a research network on successful aging sponsored by the MacArthur Foundation. In an interview he pointed out that gerontologists have focused on “the 6 to 15 percent of the elderly who are frail, and then lumped everyone else together as normal. But there is a huge variation from person to person among older people: the older a group gets, the less like each other the people i n it become.”Dr. Schaie’s most recent findings were reported this month in The American Psychologist. Although the study’s results show that on average the decline in these basic mental abilities begins gradually in the middle to late 60s and accelerates in the late 70s, the rate of decline differs for various mental faculties and differs in men and women. The sharpest declines are in basic mathematics. By their late 80s, both men and women only about half as adept in basic math as they had been in their 50s. For men, the least declineshown is in spatial orientation, used, for example, in reading a map correctly. By the late 80s, it had dropped by only about one-eighth on average.For women, the most enduring mental skill is inductive reasoning, assessing the information in a timetable, for just over one-eighth from its height in middle age. One of the drastic declines for women proved to be in verbal comprehension; while that ability dropped relatively little into the 70s, it plummeted by about one-quarter during the 80s. For men, the decline was slight in those years.Another study, this one by Dr. Richard Mohs, a psychologist at Mount Sinai Medical School who is the acting director of a research consortium on normal memory loss and aging sponsored by the Charles A. Dana Foundation, has found that different kinds of memory differ in their vulnerability to aging. “Crystallized” memory, i.e. vocabulary or other knowledge accumulated over the years, holds up very well into old age. “Fluid” memory, on the other hand, the ability to add new information to memory or to recall something that happened recently, is more prone to decline, beginning in the 60s. He found little decline in very short-term memory, like remembering a telephone number just looked up.A pair of Harvard psychologists, Douglas Powell and Kean Whitla, have designed a computerized test of mental skills like long-term and short-term memory, attention, reasoning and calculation; they reported the test in the February issue of Current Directions in Psychological Science. They are the researchers whom the 69-year-old professor spoke with. Their test compares a person’s score with norms for others of the same age, for people who are still in middle age and for others in their own professional group.Dr. Schaie’s study has found certain predictors for good mental function in old age. These include a high level of ability in reading comprehension and verbal fluency, successful career or some other involvement through life and continuing keen mental interests after retirement. Having a flexible in middle age was also a promising indicator. “There is less mental decline in people who adapt easily to change, who like learning new things and enjoy going to new places,” Dr. Schaie observed. The study also found that simply living with someone with these characteristics is beneficial. “It helps to have a high-functioning spouse, since this is your major immediate social environment and support,” Dr. Schaie stated.1. The 69-year-old woman mentioned at the beginning of the passage is finding it increasinglyA. difficult to remember who colleagues areB. difficult to recall some of her colleagues’ facesC. difficult to remember that some of her colleagues are calledD. easy to forget the name of her facultyE. easy to forget what some of her younger colleagues do in the faculty2. Some artists and intellectuals remain productive to the very end of long lives. The writer of the passage states that some expertsA. believe that such examples are more common than gerontologists formerlysupposedB. are certain that such late productivity is impossible for ordinary people in otherwalks of lifeC. are almost certain in the future such late productivity will become quite ordinaryD. suspect that it is wrong to regard such late productivity as abnormal rather thansimply uncommonE. reject the idea that such people can be taken as models for normal human beings3. Dr. Schaie’s findings reveal thatA. the pattern of mental decline among men and women is virtually identicalB. loss of the ability to calculate is severe in women, but much less so in menC. among older women, inductive reasoning is just as impaired by aging as is basicmathD. damage to inductive reasoning among the elderly is about equal for men andwomenE. loss of the ability to calculate is severe in both men and women4. Dr. Schaie tells us that the average 85-year-old woman is likely to have lost a good deal of her ability toA. use numbers and understand languageB. use numbers and read timetablesC. read timetables and use mapsD. understand language and read timetablesE. learn new facts and use numbers5. Dr. Jack Rowe, in addition to serving as director of a well-known medical school,A. is the head of a foundation that gives money for research on the problems of theelderlyB. is one of America’s top gerontologists studying old people with abnormally severememory lossC. is the leader of a tightly coordinated research association studying how to remainhealthy in old ageD. is responsible for deciding which experts on successful aging will get researchfrom the MacArthur FoundationE. is the leader of a loosely coordinated group of research teams studying how toremain healthy in old age6. Dr. Rowe says, “...there is a huge variation from person to person among older people: the older a group gets, the less like each other the people in it become.” This can best be paraphrased (re-stated) asA. The older the people in a group get, the more characteristics they shareB. Differences between individuals in a group diminish as age increasesC. As people age, certain similarities increase, while others become less markedD. Human individuals are very dissimilar at any age; this is no less true as peoplegrow olderE. Overall resemblances between members of a human group decrease as the years goby7. Which of these items would Dr. Mohs not classify as part of your crystallized memory?A. A headline in last week’s newspaperB. The date of your eldest child’s birthC. Your mother’s nameD. The meaning of th e English word “geology”E. The formula for finding the area of a triangle8. What Powell and Whitla have createdA. constitutes a great advance in computer softwareB. compares someone like the 69-year-old woman with other women and with otherpeople of various ages, but not with other university instructorsC. will probably confirm many of Dr. Schaie’s findings and invalidate those of Dr.MohsD. should make it easier to determine the relative mental skills of large numbers ofpeopleE. will be of little use to Dr. Schaie but very valuable for Dr. Mohs9. If you were a young man thinking of getting married and you asked Dr. Schaie for advice, he would probably tell you toA. marry someone quiet and dependableB. seek unity and stability in your marriageC. marry someone lively and curiousD. avoid woman who are always trying to change their situationsE. choose someone who would rather read than travel10. This articleA. is limited to a discussion of Dr. Schaie’s recent researchB. surveys recent developments in study of aging and the elderlyC. gives an overview of recent advances in the understanding of the relation betweenold age and mental activitiesD. is primarily a criticism of the excessive concentration among earlier gerontologistson sever memory loss by the elderlyE. explains recent advances in scientific understanding of the physical mechanisms ofmental decline among the aged11. given that the average person is unlikely to know that geronto- is the Greek root meaning “old person” (see lin e 25), we may reasonably conclude that this article is intended forA. Gerontologists interested in recent developments in their fieldB. schoolchildren being taught how to deal with difficult old peopleC. doctors who need a technical summary of recent advances in mental researchD. university-educated readers curious about recent work in gerontologyE. adults with secondary-school educations or less who want to know what willhappen to their memories as they grow older12.

C H I N A U N I V E R S I T Y O F G E O S C I E N C E SPhD Entrance Examination in English21April 2001LISTEN TO THIS!Good morning! You are about to take the English test for people who wish to enter the doctoral program in the earth sciences at this school. The test may be rather different from any exam you’ve taken in the past. The first part is a timed listening exercise. The other four sections test your knowledge of grammar, elementary writing skills and basic vocabulary, plus your reading ability. You can have as much time as you like for the last four parts of the test—within reason, of course.The test has five sections, worth a total of 130 points in all; the answers in part 5, the reading test, are worth three points each.The answers for parts 1,2,3 and 5 (in other words, every part except 4) should be marked on your answer sheet. The answers for part 4 should be written directly on this test paper.Make sure you READ AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS for each part of the test!The results of this exam will enable us to compare your preparation in English with that of the other candidates. The “passing” grade is relative; in other words, it will depend on the scores for the whole body of test-takers. You should just relax and do as well as you can.We shall now begin. Turn the page to part 1. Good luck!PART 1. Imagine that you are on a train to Shanghai. In the seats in front of you there are two foreigners, and you can hear their conversation. One of them is telling the other about his job. He says what he does, not what he is or what field (profession or occupation) he is in.On your paper you see a list of the names of people in 60 different occupations or professions. As you listen, decide what the speaker is. Then find the correct word on the list and write the number beside it in the proper blank on your answer sheet.For instance, suppose you hear this: (Speaker P) “Well, I don’t enjoy lecturing very much, especially to younger students, but I do love my research. I’d be so happy if I could spend every day in the lab with my graduate students and postdocs. However, that’s just not the way university departments operate.”You decide that the speaker must be a professor, so you find “a professor” on your list. You see that the number beside it is 61; you then write the number 61 in the blank beside P on your answer sheet.By the way, in reality there is no P and no 61, and “a professor” is not one of the choices on your list. This is just a theoretical example. You will now have three minutes to read the list. [SILENCE]All right, now let’s begin!

In each of the ten sentences below there is an underlined words (or words). Decide which of the words in the list at the bottom of the page can be used to replace the underlined words without changing the meaning of the sentence. The underlined words and the words that you choose must be synonyms. In each case, writer the number found next to the synonym in the appropriate blank on your answer sheet.A.We need to economize, so we are trying to cut down on waste in our lab.B.Our situation is likely to deteriorate if we do not receive help soon.C.You will notice that this material can easily be seen through.D.John thinks he may be laid off when the firm reorganizes.E.Does anyone know who is in charge of this part of the project?F.How soon do you think they will exhaust their supply of oxygen?G.Was there any feedback after you made your presentation?H.We need to keep track of any changes in soil in the area around the factory.I.This plastic looks good, but I think we need something more durable.J.Please hurry. This matter requires immediate attention.The five sentences below also contain underlined words. Find the words in the list at the bottom of the page that mean the OPPOSITE of these underlined words. Again, write the number found next to each item you choose in the appropriate space on your answer sheet.K.Quite a few observers have reported changes in the quality of the air.L.The telescope they are using now is a state-of-the-art device.M.There has been a minor improvement in his condition since he started to take the new drug.N.On the basis of the study, the committee has decided that the dam project is feasible.O.Their experiments will probably shed light on this puzzling phenomenon.++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++POSSIBLE SYNONYMS AND ANTONYMS (=OPPOSITES)1. a handful of 21. exacerbate 41. modify2. a host of 22. extremely advanced 42. monitor3.advanced 23. facilitate 43. more abundant4.advancing 24. get a raise 44. optional5.advice or criticism 25. get worse 45. other choice6.antiquated 26. greater 46. perilous7.authorize 27. identical 47. preserve8.be promoted 28. imply 48. questionable9.be transferred 29. impracticable 49. reduce10.become tired of 30. improve 50. refreshments11.challenging 31. is emergent 51. responsible forpatible 32. is invisible 52. responsible to13.constitute 33. is transparent 53. run out of14.contain 34. is urgent 54. safer15.counteract 35. is visible 55. similar16.designate 36. less prone to wear 56. snacks17.do little to explain 37. less tough 57. to blame for18.dramatic 38. lose his job 58. unprecedented19.dwindle 39. many 59. versatile20.eliminate 40. meal 60. very attractivePART 3.

The reason cuts far deeper than the Normal parent-teenager divide in Western societies. Mrs Chang, a Korean immigrant who works seven days a week in the family’s restaurant business, speaks almost no English. Her son, John Kim, who came to the United States as a toddler, knows little Korean. At home in a Virginian suburb of Washington, Mrs Chang watches Korean television and videotapes. In the car she listens to Korean radio. At work and church, she speaks Korean with her friends and colleagues. Working twelve hours a day, she has little opportunity or even need to learn a new language.[2] John, on the other hand, is 100 percent Americanized. His friendships, his classes at school, his tastes in music, in clothes, in recreation – all are firmly rooted in the English language and American culture, especially as represented by the programs that he sees on TV. Television has also had an enormous influence on his spoken English had how he uses it. The direct input from his parents seems to have shrunk to little more than preferences in food and a habit of diligence.[3] In a society that insistently hammers into parents the importance of talking to children and spending time with them, many immigrants can hardly do either. Holding down one or more jobs to provide for their families leaves little time for family life, much less for attending language classes. At the same time, there is evidence that the children of today’s immigrants are losing their parents’ language a good deal faster than second-generation children did years ago.[4] The result, say sociologists and others who study the effects of immigration, is a troubling new family dynamic on the rise: a generation of children growing up almost strangers to their parent. “For most of us, it would be an easy choice,” said Kathleen Harris, a sociology professor at the University of North Carolina. “Of course you would learn to communicate with your child – but not if it meant having to do without food on the table.”[5] Twelve years after arriving in the US, Mrs Chang has come to believe that she is losing her son across a great cultural chasm. It pains her greatly, but she lacks the means to tell him even that much. Instead she relies on her daughter to speak for her. Sun Mi Kim, 18 years old, who grew up speaking English and a child’s oral Korean and is only now striving to learn the spoken and written Korean of an adult, serves as a go-between for her mother and brother, translating nearly everything that passes between the, even during their occasional angry shouting matches. Because Sun Mi’s Korean is limited, however, much is left unspoken – and many feelings unexplored – in the family. Subtlety is lost. Now, when Mrs chang sees her son despondent when she comes home at night after her long workday, she wonders if their language barrier has taken its toll on more than ease of communication within her family. “I’m afraid that by now my son may have given up trying to communicate –and maybe not just with me,”the 47-year-old mother said through a translator one recent afternoon while taking a break from her kitchen duties at one of the family’s two restaurants.[6] Previous waves of American immigrants switched over from their ancestral languages to English in a more gradual fashion, over the course of three or four generations, with a buffer between the immigrant generation and the fully assimilated generation. Back in the decades when Italy was a major source of immigrants to the US, for example, an English-speaking child might have had difficulty talking to his Italian-born grandfather, but usually the generation sandwiched in the middle was fluent in the oral forms of both languages. Nowadays the change is happening far more rapidly, according to Ruben Rumbaut, a sociologist at Michigan State University. “This country is becoming a language graveyard for the second generation,” he said, with children and parents living under the same roof yet substantially unable to talk toeach other except about the most superficial matters of everyday routine.[7] In a long-term study of 5,300 immigrant families, Professor Rumbaut found that 73 percent of the youngsters surveyed in 1991 stated that English was their primary language of communication by the time they reached seventh grade, but 94 percent of the parents spoke another language at home. In 1995, the figure for the parents was about the same, while the number of children speaking mainly English had jumped to 88 percent. A survey of immigrant families conducted last year in the Virginia county where Mrs Chang and her family live found that 53 percent of the households had an adult who spoke little or no English; in 27 percent of the households, no resident adult could speak English.[8] The language barrier separating parent and child may be particularly acute among Asians. Although a higher proportion know some English when they arrive in the US, according to a 1995 University of North Carolina study of 21,000 immigrant youths, Asian children lost their native language considerably more swiftly than do Hispanic children. That is in part because Hispanic young people usually live in larger communities where there are many Spanish-speakers. Asian communities, in contrast, tend to be much smaller and may have several languages, depending on how many countries are represented, said Pyong Gap Min, a Korean-American professor of sociology at Queens College in New York City.[9] Furthermore, Spanish has been woven into the fabric of life in many communities. “How many high schools in this country teach Korean or Vietnamese, or even Chinese?” Professor Min pointed out. “But every high school, virtually without exception, has Spanish in the curriculum, and that’s been the pattern for over a century in the US. People expect Spanish to be taught, whereas Asian language are still regarded as exotic and not of much use to the larger society. This attitude may be short-sighted, but it’s a fact, and a sad corollary is that there is seldom much support for funding instruction in Asian tongues at the primary or secondary school level, at least in public schools.”[10] Adding to the dissolution of communication is the fact that many cultures – particularly those in Asia – do not really encourage parents to sit down for heart-to-heart talks with their children. The most that these parents are likely to do is push their children to get good grades, according to Ms Min. “But if parents only talk about grades, their children’s self-esteem often becomes dependent on their school achievement, rather than on their parents’ love. Then getting a C in school can be devastating.”[11] Sung Jong Chang grew up in a South Korea recovering from the destruction wrought by war. Especially during her childhood, her parents had little food or money. When she migrated to the US in 1988, she came determined to make sure that her family would never have to face similar privations. By working in a relative’s delicatessen and at other jobs, she and her husband saved enough money to open two Japanese restaurants near their home. Now both put in long hours and take just two days off each year: Thanksgiving and New Year’s. John, who was five when he was brought to America, says he is not used to having his parents around. While they were at work, he was either with school friends or watching TV at home. He does not remember how or when he forgot the Korean he spoke as a pre-school child. Little though he now speaks with his mother, communication with his father, who knows no English beyond a few isolated words, is even worse. “We never talk at all,” John said, with a shrug of his shoulders.1In paragraph 1, the author implies thatA native-born American parents often have trouble talking to their childrenB differences between generations in the West often lead to great gaps in languageC Koreans immigrants usually fail to learn to speak English fluentlyD Asians who stay in America for years no longer use Asian languages very well2Mrs Chang’s daughter, Sun Mi Kim, moved to AmericaA at the age of 18B at the age of 5C at an unknown age; there is not enough information in the article even to hazard a guessD presumably around the age of 6 or 73The choice that Kathleen Harris refers to in paragraph 4 is betweenA learning English and ignoring itB learning how to talk to your child and focusing on economic mattersC advancing in your career and building a happy familyD migrating and losing family closeness, and remaining in your homeland4In paragraphs 5 and 11, the author seems to suggest that the boy John KimA will eventually learn to communicate well with his mother but not with his fatherB has been deeply and permanently affected by the long years of not really talking to his parentsC no longer has much trouble saying anything important to his motherD is communicating much better with his father now that his elder sister is improving her Korean5On the basis of this article, which of these statements is NOT true?A The way John Kim speaks English to some degree reflects what he watches on TV.B TV had helped John Kim get through a lot of lonely hours at home.C Spending so much time watching TV had made John Kim a passive, rather lazy boy.D John Kim feels somewhat ill at ease when he is in the company of his mother and father.6English-speaking children talking to immigrant grandparentsA used to face a much greater linguistic barrier than they do todayB seldom need to seek the help of other people nowadaysC often act as a sandwich generation helping their parents and grandparents to communicate betterD ordinarily used to have people in their parents’ generation to help bridge any gap7Researchers who compare young immigrant Asian-Americans to immigrant Hispanic-Americans in the same age group have discovered thatA Hispanic-Americans retain Spanish longer than Asian-Americans keep their native languagesB both groups become primarily English-speaking at roughly the same rateC Hispanic-Americans become English-speakers much more quickly than Asian-Americans doD Asian-Americans have smaller communities and therefore preserve their languages more zealously 8According to Professor Rumbaut’s study, in immigrant families between 1991 and 1995A parents woke up to the fact that they were losing touch with their Americanized childrenB it became a good deal less difficult for children to talk to their parentsC the proportion of children who relied on English to talk to other people rose by 15%D the proportion of parents who spoke a language other than English at home fell by 6%9Spanish is taught in most US schoolsA on account of the huge number of Hispanic immigrants in the US todayB in response to changes in the world in the last few decadesC today, as it has been for 100 years or moreD because there is no money in school budgets to pay teachers of other languages10An appropriate title for this article might beA Among Asian immigrants in the US, a wall of language separates generationsB English as a unifying factor in today’s immigrant families in the USC The Korean language faces hard times in the United States。

Two billion people are expected to start learning English within a decade and three billion will speak it, says a British Council estimate.Other languages, such as French, risk becoming the casualties（伤亡）of this "linguistic globalization". But the boom will be over by 2050 and the English language teaching industry will have become a victim of its own success, says David Graddol, author of the report, The Future of English.Mr. Graddol’s research was based on a computer model developed to estimate demand for English language teaching around the world. The lecturer, who has worked in education and language studies at the Open University for the past 25 years, said the model charted likely student numbers through to 2050.It was compiled by looking at various estimates from the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (Unesco) on education provision, demographic（人口统计的）projections, government education policies and international student mobility figures. The impact of educational innovations and other developments affecting the world population including the Chinese government's policy of one baby per family were also factored in.Based on its findings, Mr. Graddol has predicted that the world is about to be hit by a tidal wave of English. "Many governments, especially in countries which have relatively recently gained independence, are introducing the teaching of English under a utilitari an banner.”"But English predominates in the business world, and for such countries to be able to compete for work, including lucrative (profitable) outsourcing contracts(外包合同), English is being pushed heavily from kindergarten on."The potential bonanza (source of wealth) on offer from outsourcing means even maths and science are being taught in English at secondary schools in Malaysia. But demand for English teaching would drop as children progress through academia, and more universities across the world choose to teach in the language.Mr. Graddol also estimated that the boom would be over by 2050. "English language students will be down from two billion to 500 million then," he said, "Increasingly, as English spread across the globe, more people will become bilingual, even multilingual and such skills are highly prized in business. But Britain has not got the best reputation for learning other languages.”The report also showed that English was not the only language spreading, and the world, far from being dominated by English, was to become more multi-lingual. Mr. Graddol said, "Chinese, Arabic and Spanish are all popular, and likely to be languages of the future.”1. It is estimated that _____________.A. actively studied by over 200 million people.B. freely spoken by global English learners.C. 50% of world inhabitants will be speaking or learning English by 2015.D. really mastered by 50% of people worldwide.2. According to the text, "linguistic globalization" will____________.A. eliminate French from the globe.B. defeat other European languages.C. fail all languages except English.D. make English the biggest winner.3. David Graddol predicts that the thriving period of English will____________.A. terminate within half a century.B. climax in the middle of the century.C. endure for no less than five decades.D. quit till the beginning of the 2050s.4. The report "The Future of English" factored in all of the following EXCEPT__________.A. the educational condition and policy.B. the directions and designs of Unesco.C. the statistics about population.D. the movements of overseas students.5. The writer of the report deems that outsourcing is to____________.A. result in the increase of English subjects.B. account for the further spread of English.C. lead to the drop of interest in English study.D. bring about transition in college curricula.Part B Read the following part and answer the questions.

More than a bit funky, too, which was fitting for a place that is home to the Maharishi University of Management (think Transcendental Meditation). One look at all the sandals and T-shirts tie-dyed with New Age slogans, and you felt this crowd was ripe for another Woodstock. They were there cheering a candidate who, for some, brings to mind another icon of the1960s, Robert F. Kennedy. The same giddy excitement rippled through the crowd as Barack Obama made his way to a central gazebo, bedecked with Fourth of July bunting.2 He didn’t disappoint. The tall, reed-thin Senator flashed his megawatt smile as the crowd shouted its support. Then he showed why he’s the most effective orator among the candidates in either party as he fed the faithful his applause lines: The economy has been great for Wall Street but terrible for Main Street; health care is an awful mess that needs fixing; our energy policy has us funding terrorists while wrecking the environment; the war in Iraq is a disastrous mistake, and we need to bring our troops home. After running through a list of woes, Obama reverted to his trademark optimism, talking about how an America that vanquished slavery, and prevailed through two world wars and the Great Depression, will once again rise to the challenge. “I get teased sometimes for talking about hope because people tend to get cynical,” he said. “He’s peddling hope again. He’s a hope-monger.” But I have good reasons to be hopeful.” He smiled again as the crowd cheered in agreement.3 This is the Barack Obama that has fired up the party’s rank and file ever since he wowed the Democratic National Convention in 2004. Another side of him – a quiet, contemplative side that is truer to his nature – was evident just hours before, when he sat down for an interview with Reader’s Digest. He talked slowly, carefully, searching for just the right words to express positions. And they weren’t always what those Fairfield activists would want to hear. Would he consider namingRepublicans to key positions in an Obama Administration? “Absolutely. I think one of the things we need to return to is a sense of public service that transcends party.”4 How would he use America’s power and influence? “Part of our power has to be deployed to deal with a very real terrorist threat. It would be naïve to think that simply through diplomacy we’re going to deal with what is a set of ideologically driven fanatics. So we’ve got to deploy our power militarily.”5 Of course, most of his remarks fit well within the liberal canon. Regarding Iraq: “I would come up with a plan to change our course militarily while aggressively ramping up our diplomatic efforts.” On health care: “I would introduce a universal health bill within the first 100 days.” On energy: “We need an energy plan that will raise fuel-efficiency standards, ratchet down greenhouse gas emissions and aggressively explore alternative fuels.”Q uestions：1.Where did the gathering take place according to the author?2.Did the audience get dressed very formally to listen to Obama’s speech?3.What is his stance on the issues of health care and energy?4.When he said words which won his faithful supporters’ warm applause, he showed why he wasconsidered the most impressive orator among the candidates in both Democratic Party and Republican Party.

Although the United States is a big country, it is not the largest in the world. In 2000, its population was over 222 million.When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented on the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 stars. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world. Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of North America were mostly from England. It is for that reason that the language of the United States is English and that its culture and customs are more like those of England than those of any other country in the world.6. Which of the following is TRUE?A. America is the largest country in the world.B. The United States lies next to Canada and Mexico.C. America covers most part of the North American continent.D. Mexico is to the north of Canada.7. After winning its independence, the United States_________.A. had nothing to do with EnglandB. made India part of its landC. mainly developed westwardD. took over parts of Canada and Mexico8.

Because of her sadness, the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak the language of human beings.The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds."Why are you sad?" asked the ant."I'm the prisoner of a giant." the girl told the ant. "He won't let me go until I've made three separate heaps of grain, barley（大麦）and rye（黑麦）out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together.""That will take you a month!" the ant said, looking at the huge pile of seeds."I know," the girl cried, "and if I can’t finish by tomorrow, the giant will eat me for his supper!""Don't cry," the ant said, "my friends and I will help you." Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.The next morning, when the giant saw that the work hadbeen done, he let the girl go.Thus it was one of her tears that saved her life.11.
