七选五专项训练（含答案）七选五专项训练How to study English in ChinaEnglish is obviously not the native language in China. Even if many Chinese want to improve their English level to the amount needed in daily work, it's very hard when only a few people speak English around them. 1 Here are a few tips that might help.Join a school with native teachers to guide you.2 The more exposure you can get to these foreign teachers, the faster and better you are going to learn English. If a school doesn't give students maximum exposure to native English speakers' classes, find one that does.Read English daily.This means using websites that are permitted in China accessing English texts, newspapers and books. Read short stories in English. When you come across words you don't know, write them down immediately. 3Memorize vocabulary.Write new words in a notebook every week, with English definitions and a sample sentence, not a Chinese translation. 4 Carry it with you everywhere you go. Even if you have a question about something that you see and you don't know the English word, set it down in your own language with the plan to look it up later and learn that wordin English.5English is not well controlled by grammar rules. For every rule, there is an exception to that rule. Your time will be better spent in writing than studying grammar for long hours. Findsomeone to write emails in English to or write a diary every day.There are many other ways to improve your English. Come on!A. Learn to write.B. Watch an English film once a month.C. What can you do to study more English?D. You can do this by writing in your notebook.E. There are many native English speakers in China.F. Follow a soap opera, comedy or radio program or TV drama.G. You should be carrying a notebook with you everywhere you go just to write down something important.Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite frequently. 1 First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. 2 The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The Real Player from Real Media. The Real Player allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding. 3Here is some of the advice I give my students:Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for all times.Do not translate everything into your native language.4 Don't concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.Listen to something you enjoy.I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning when I didn't understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resultedin confusion. 5 Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn't pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.A. What should you do?B. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.C. But you can't follow a native English speaker at all!D. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!E. So what you need to do is to find listening resources.F. However, after several weeks I got used to the new environment in Germany.G. Then after the first six months, I discovered too extremely important facts.答案:CEGDACEABG。

英语高中高一下学期七选五复习模拟试卷测试题（含答案）Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food or why certain foods and cooking traditions are so important to one’s culture? ____1____ On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture, and we learn to be closely connected with it. Sometimes foods help us remember things in the past - memories that have special meanings to us. ____2____ When I was sick as a child, my mother used to cook soup for me. The smell and taste of the soup became something very familiar to me. Now, whenever I feel tired or stressed, I remember the soup my mum used to make for me.____3____ Traditional cooking is passed down from one generation to the next by maintaining precious family recipes. Immigrants (移民) cook traditional food as a way of preserving their culture in their new homes and as a means of coping with homesickness.Each country or community’s unique cooking reflects its history, lifestyle, values and beliefs.____4____ This is reflected in Chinese cooking, where almost every flavour is used in a balanced way to create delicious dishes. Also, Chinese people believe that food not only needs to be nutritious but also needs to look attractive and colorful.As the world becomes more globalized, it is easier to access cooking from different cultures. We should accept our culture’s food, but we should also become more informed about other cultures by trying dishes from around the world. ____5____A．In China, harmony (和谐) is important.B．Food is a gate into culture, and it should be treated as such.C．On a large scale, food is an expression of cultural identity.D．I encountered a few fun, food-related cultural differences abroad.E．There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.F．The old age wisdom can be seen in architecture and customs as well as in their food. G．Family dishes often become the comfort food we seek as adults at lower points of our lives. Curiosity is rooted in our DNA．We are fascinated by the future; we are impressed with the unknown that surrounds us; we are amazed at all that we have to explore. The mysteries of the world have always been a push for us to watch. ____6____.Children are known for sticking their fingers in places where young fingers should never be. They are famous for putting all kinds of objects and substances in their mouths, everything from plastic blocks to any object in the room.____7____ It holds our hand as we move into old age and the unknown of the future. By and large, we are determined question-askers. We want to know more than we know; we want to expand our horizons, try out the new and undiscovered, and pursue experiences that deepen our comprehension of the world we live in.____8____ It is also the generation of possibilities. When we look at the world from multiple perspectives, we give ourselves permission to examine a wider range of resolutions. We open up our minds to explore the unexamined and unknown. ____9____ Ian Leslie explains it this way, “Curiosity is essential to an exploring mind; it opens our eyes to the new and undiscovered, encouraging us to seek out new experiences and meet new people.”Curiosity is the catalyst(催化剂) for questioning, and questioning is what urges us to seek out theunfamiliar and the unknown. ____10____ It does not move forward, nor does it have sufficient power to dig what may lie just below the surface or just slightly out of reach. Curiosity is the fuel necessary for creativity to prosper and succeed.A．Curiosity has its own reason for existing.B．Without questioning, knowledge becomes inactive.C．Nowhere is this truer than when we watch our children.D．But curiosity is much more than a simple search for answers.E．Curiosity becomes a boost for new opportunities and new options.F．So ask questions to which there may be a wide variety of responses.G．In adults, curiosity guides us toward a lifetime occupation and to new destinations.Symptoms of Dehydration (脱水)You’re bad-tempered.Researchers tested the mood and concentration of 25 women who drank healthy amounts of water one day, and then less the next two days. When slightly dehydrated, the women reported tiredness, bad temper, headaches and difficulty in focusing. In a separate test, men with mild dehydration also had trouble with mental tasks. ____11____ Scientists are still trying to figure out why.You have a bad workout.____12____ It impacts how much you can push yourself. Even a 2 to 3 percent fluid loss affects your ability to get a good workout and more than 5 percent dehydration decreases exercise capacity by about 30 percent.____13____Driving while you’re dehydrated may be just as dangerous as getting behind the wheel drunk, in terms of how many mistakes you could make on the road. British researchers had participants take 2-hour drives using a simulator (模拟器). When they drank enough water, there were 47 driving errors. ____14____You feel dizzy when you stand up too fast.Dehydration can make you feel dizzy or faint, or bring on that rush of light-headedness after you quickly get up from sitting or lying down.The exact treatment for dehydration symptoms depends on age and how severely dehydrated someone is. ____15____ Most of the time, however, people use some over-the-counter solutions for kids, and adults can drink more water.A．You drive like you’re drunk.B．Sometimes dehydration can be life-threatening.C．To get rid of dehydration you have to drink much water quickly.D．In extreme cases, people might go to the hospital for a treatment.E．Dehydration reduces blood pressure and makes the heart work harder.F．But when it came to mood changes, women changed much more than men.G．But when they were short of water, there were more than double the driving errors to 101. Why do more and more people show interest in cultural heritage (遗产) these days?____16____ Maybe it’s because technology has made it easier to learn about our ancestors.Here’s a list of several ways to connect you with your cultural heritage.If you aren’t sure where your ancestors are from, a DNA te st can be a good way. Companies like Family Tree DNA will sell you a testing box that teaches you what to do. ____17____ There have been concerns about the safety—your DNA information sold to companies without asking you. If a DNA test isn’t your cup of te a, you can try several other ways.One of the most enjoyable ways to learn about your family tree is sitting down with an older relative to chat about it. Talk in person with a grandparent, great-grandparent, or any other family member who’s been around lo ng enough to tell you about the past. ____18________19____ So one way to bridge the gap between your family’s past and present is to cook a traditional meal. If your ancestors are from Italy, you can learn how to host an Italian dinner party. Invite some relatives to share your common heritage over a meal.Learning a language is a unique way to connect with your ancestors and culture. ____20____ Once you’ve known the language of your ancestors, you may want to get in touch with your heritage by picking up the basics of that language.A．Food is part of your cultural heritage.B．This is a great way to learn about your ancestors.C．You generally get your test results within a few weeks.D．It can also let you meet new people and have more experiences.E．Food ca n help you feel like you’re truly experiencing that culture.F．People are eager to learn as much about our ancestors as possible.G．Perhaps they want to have a sense of belonging in our globalized world.Most of us enjoy stories-whether it’s reading a wo nderful book, listening to a friend tell a joke or watching a programme on television. Did you know that writing stories is actually good for you, too？On 23 June it is National Writing Day, an annual celebration of creative writing.____21____ What is creative writing？Creative writing is based on your imagination-fiction and poetry are good examples. Fiction is written work that describes events and people the writers imagine. Fiction can include novels and short stories.____22____ Scripts (剧本) for a play, film or TV show and fan fiction count.Is it really good for me？Many people find creative writing cathartic, which means they feel relaxed because they’re releasing thoughts and emotions that they’ve kept bottled up. According to the Anna Freud Centre fo r Children and Families, writing about a character’s feelings can make it easier to understand your own feelings.____23____Another benefit of creative writing is that it can increase your self-esteem（how positive you feel about yourself）. It can help you realize that your voice is important and powerful. Children’s author Mark Haddon says. “____24____ It’s about learning that you, your family. your culture and your view of the world are rich and interesting and important.”The power of imagination____25____ This space can help you to think more positively about a problem you might have, or simply allow you to escape to a magical, make-believe world.A．It’s more than learning a skill.B．However, these aren’t the only forms of creative writing.C．Examples of creative writing can be found pretty much everywhere.D．For many people, creative writing offers a “time out” or escape from real life.E．It’s also a chance to understand the benefits of creative writing and using your imagination. F．They also say that creative writing can be a useful tool for self-care, or taking care of yourself. G．To get better at creative writing, you must understand the elements of what makes writing a book great.Many people think of sharks as dangerous monsters. But human beings cause a far greater danger to them than they do to us. Although shark attacks do occur, they are quite rare. According to one estimate, however, humans kill 100 million sharks every year. ____26____Why should we save the sharks?Sharks take up the top position on the food chain in the ocean. As sharks die off, the population of the animals that sharks consume will increase. This, in turn, means that the number of the creatures those animals eat will drop. ____27____ Fish that eat algae (藻类) are also included. This can cause algae to spread so much that it damages coral reefs.____28____ The ocean not only produces more oxygen than all the rainforests on Earth combined, but also removes half of the man-made greenhouse gas from the atmosphere. Once sharks die off, the global ecosystem will be upset, affecting all creatures including human beings. Don’t use shark productsFirst, vitamin energy drinks and leather goods can be made from shark parts. ____29____ In addition, shark meat is sold around the world, sometimes under misleading names such as rock salmon or whitefish.Shark fin soup is a popular dish. However, the process of getting fins is cruel. Fishermen cut the shark’s fins off and then throw the shark back into the water, still alive. ____30____ Sharks breathe by swimming, so a shark that can’t swim will die.A．It is time for children to learn about sharks.B．Shark oil is also used in many popular beauty products.C．Then the shark dies slowly, sometimes over several days.D．Actually, the killing of sharks will affect the whole planet.E．People in some countries are especially keen on shark products.F．Among them are some sea fish that humans consume every day.G．This number is a warning that many kinds of sharks may die out.Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles，sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. ____31____ Outside life is shut out. So are you one of “them”?For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. ____32____ What’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says：“I'm not available for chatting at the moment.”Suppose you’re at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough，but a colleague suddenly turns up. At this precise moment，the slightest disturbance would break yourconcentration. ____33____ Once again，those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!” signal.____34____ It’s probably part of the gr owing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework，they can just turn up the volume on their MP3 player, smile and say “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved. Pretty soon，not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears，but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument. We’ll be in a virtual world，communicating with everyone else，as we like. In this world，we will all be permanently plugged in. ____35____ And they are changing our social habits along the way.In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It’s so strange—suddenly. I don’t feel like wearing my earph ones anymore.A．Our instruments are changing quickly.B．I also have wires hanging from my ears.C．In the home situation，teenagers love these wires.D．I don’t have to deal with the noise from the environment.E．After all，I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed.F．They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal “digital noise reduction systems”. G．Listening to music through earphones is one of the perfect ways to ignore such interruptions.Four Ways to Beat the Monday BluesFor most workers and students, Monday is the toughest day, which implies that the happy weekend is over, while the new week of work and study has just begun. However, Monday always comes as usual. ____36____ The following four tips can help you greet the coming week full of energy.____37____ Instead of focusing on the difficult tasks that lie ahead of you, you can make a list by writing down some things that you are looking forward to. A good place to start is to think of one thing you are excited about for each category: at work, after work, and at the weekend.Sleep has a huge effect on our mood. According to Harvard Medical School, “poor sleep can cause easy anger and stress, while healthy sleep can increase well-being.” So, next time if you find yourself a little more short-tempered than normal, sleep may be the answer.____38____It’s worth taking this into consideration on Sunday to avoid a lack of energy on a Monday morning. Don’t underestimate（低估）the power of clothing. In fact, psychologists conclude that the strong link between clothing and mood suggests we should put on clothes that we associate with happiness, even when feeling low.____39____Keep Monday’s schedule a little lighter than other days. After a weekend of fun, don’t give yourself a too tight schedule, please take it easy.____40____It means putting some time into the easier tasks.

So continue reading for my top tips!1. Be yourself.I follo wed many “dos and don’ts” at first. However, once I started writing more authentically about myself, I was able to write a better essay. In fact, every part of the application is an opportunity for you to paint a picture for the admissions committee. What matters to you? What do you like to study? What motivates you? What kind of student are you? What responsibilities would you take on in college? ____41____2. Start early.____42____ At this time, you have multiple tasks to handle and completing each application requirement will take time. For example, securing a good recommendation letter will be easier if you ask your teachers a month before they are due than if you ask them a few days before a deadline. You must also request transcripts, edit and revise your essays, and keep attending and doing well in your classes! How can you accomplish so many tasks? ____43____3. ____44____While you won’t be able to review some elements of your application, like your letters of recommendation, you should sill reflect on what you think your teachers will highlight about you. ____45____ For example, in your personal statement, you might have highlighted one of your life experiences that has shaped you greatly. Is your transcript missing an academic passion that has been significant to you? Where else can you share it? Mapping these experiences and strengths onto different parts of your application is a good strategy, because it helps maximize the often limited word counts of your application.A．Make a map.B．Select your experiences.C．This is especially important during your senior year!D．So see the application as a chance to show who you are.E．Therefore provide impressive materials to convince them.F．I suggest setting concrete goals to accomplish every week.G．Simi larly, think about what you’ll say in each part of your application.Four Ways to Beat the Monday BluesFor most workers and students, Monday is the toughest day, which implies that the happy weekend is over, while the new week of work and study has just begun.

考研英语新题型模拟试题考研英语新题型模拟试题：七选五/填空式阅读Fields across Europe are contaminated with dangerous levels of the antibiotics given to farm animals. The drugs, which are in manure sprayed onto fields as fertilizers, could be getting into our food and water, helping to create a new generation of antibiotic-resistant “superbugs “ .The warning comes from a researcher in Switzerland who looked at levels of the drugs in farm slurry.41) __________ .Some 20,000 tons antibiotics are used in the European Union and the US each year. More than half are given to farm-animals to prevent disease and promote growth. 42) __________.Most researchers assumed that humans become infected with the resistant strains by eating contaminated meat. But far more of the drugs end up in manure than in meat products, says Stephen Mueller of the Swiss Federal Institute for Environmental Science and Technology in Dubendorf. 43) __________ .With millions of tons animals manure spread onto fields of cops such as wheat and barley each year, this pathway seems an equally likely route for spreading resistance, he said. The drugs contaminate the crops, which are then eaten. 44) __________ .Mueller is particularly concerned about a group of antibiotics called sulphonamides. 45) __________ .This concentration is high enough totrigger the development of resistance among bacteria. But vets are not treating the issue seriously.There is growing concern at the extent to which drugs, including antibiotics, are polluting the environment. Many drugs given to humans are also excreted unchanged and broken down by conventional treatment.A) They don’t easily degrade or dissolve in water. His analysis found that Swiss farm manure contains a high percentage of sulphonamides; each hectare of field could be contaminated with up to 1 kilogram of the drugs.B) And manure contains especially high levels of bugs that are resistant to antibiotics, he says.C) Animal antibiotics is still an area to which insufficient attention has been paid.D) But recent research has found a direct link between the increased use of these farmyard drugs and the appearance of antibiotic-resistant bugs that infect people.E) His findings are particularly shocking because Switzerland is one of the few countries to have banned antibiotics as growth promoters in animal feed.F) They could also be leaching into tap water pumped from rocks beneath fertilized fields.G) There is no doubt that the food and drink is always important tothe health.【参考答案】EDBFA。

6选5段落标题选择题Passage 1[A]Becoming a naturalist[B]Seeing wonder in the ordinary[C]A changing role[D]Disgusting and embarrassing moments[E]What does a park naturalist do?[F]What does it take to be a park naturalist?I have the best job in the Wisconsin State Park System. As a park naturalist a t PeninsulaState Park, I am busy writing reports, creating brochures about tre es or flowers, andsometimes visiting schools.And, of course, I make sure Peni nsula‘s feathered friends are wellfed.41. _____________As a park naturalist I am a writer, a teacher, a historian and, if not a social w orker, at leasta mentor to young people interested in the environment. I love the diversity of my job.Every day is different. Most tasks require creativity. N ow that I am an experienced naturalist,I have the freedom to plan my own da y and make decisions about the types of programs thatwe offer at Peninsula.42. _____________In my first naturalist job, I spent four out of five days leading school field trip s and visitingclassrooms. As a state park naturalist I still work with students, but more often lead programslike bird walks, nature crafts, outdoor skills, and trail hikes. I also find myself increasinglyinvolved in management decisions. For example, sometimes the park naturalist is the personwho knows where ra re orchids grow or where ravens nest. When decisions are made aboutcutting trees, building trails, or creating more campsites. naturalists are asked to give the―ecological perspective.‖43. _____________Perhaps the grossest thing I‘ve done as a naturalist is to boil animal skulls. Vi sitors likeseeing bones and skins—at least after they have been cleaned up! O nce, our nature centerneeded more skulls. A trapper gave me muskrat, racco on and fox skulls but I had to cleanthem. First, I boiled the skin and meat off. Boy, did that stink! Then I used dissecting tools andold toothbrushes to clean out the eyeballs. Finally, I soaked the skulls in a bleach solution.I‘ve had som e embarrassing experiences, too. On my first hike as Peninsula‘s new naturalist, Iwas so excited that I identified a white pine tree as a red pine tree! That‘s quite a mistakesince the trees are so easy to tell apart. White pine needles are in bundles of five and red pineneedles are in bundles of two.44. _____________Not all state parks are as busy or as big as Peninsula. Not all park naturalists spend theseasons as I do. Nevertheless, park naturalists share certain commo n interests andresponsibilities: A park naturalist might notice that branches of a red maple growing in a fieldreach out to the side while those of a red mapl e in a thick forest reach up, and wonder why thetrees look different. A natural ist makes things happen. It might be working with workers toclean up part of a river. Park naturalists share knowledge in different ways, but all of themco mmunicate with people. A love of learning--from other people, from plants an d animals,from books, and more—is an essential quality. Most naturalists don‘t work in places of rarebeauty. Many work in city parks or in places that show ―wear and tear.‖ If you can wonderabout an inchworm, a juniper bush, or a r obin and cause others to wonder, too, then you areready to become a park na turalist.45. _____________If you think you want to become a park naturalist, do the following: Explore your home landscape. Knowing how people have shaped the land whe re youlive-and how the land has shaped them-will lend a comparison that will serve you well.Start a field sketch book.Sketch what you see, where and when. The reason i s not topractice art skills (though you may discover you have a talent) but, ra ther, to practiceobservation skills.Go to college. You will need a 4-year degree. There are several academic rout es that leadto the naturalist‘s road. I have found ornithology, plant taxonomy and human growth anddevelopment to be among my most helpful courses. Listen and learn. A college degree is like a ticket. It lets you board the plane b ut is only thebeginning of the journey. Look and listen to those who have alre ady traveled the road for ideas,knowledge and inspiration.Passage 2A. The consequence of losing bonesB. A better lab than on earthC. Two different casesD. Multiple effects form weightlessnessE. How to overcome weightlessnessF. Factors that are not so sureDuring weightlessness, the forces within the body undergo dramatic change. Because thespine is no longer compressed, people grow taller. The lungs, hea rt and other organs withinthe chest have no weight, and as a result, the rib ca ge and chest relax and expand. Similarly,the weights of the liver, kidneys, sto mach and bowels disappear. One astronaut said after hisflight:―You feel your guts floating up. I found myself tightening my belly, sort of pus hingthings back。

考研英语七选五模拟练习Directions:In the following text, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the blanks. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)Long before Man lived on the Earth, there were fishes, reptiles, birds, insects, and some mammals. Although some of these animals were ancestors of kinds living today, others are now extinct, that is, they have no descendants alive now. 41) ________ Very occasionally the rocks show impression of skin, so that, apart from color, we can build up a reasonably accurate picture of an animal that died millions of years ago. The kind of rock in which the remains are found tells us much about the nature of the original land, often of the plants that grew on it, and even of its climate.42) ________. Nearly all of the fossils that we know were preserved in rocks formed by water action, and most of these are of animals that lived in or near water. Thus it follows that there must be many kinds of mammals, birds, and insects of which we know nothing.43) ________ There were also crab-like creatures, whose bodies were covered witha horny substance. The body segments each had two pairs of legs, one pair for walking on the sandy bottom, the other for swimming. The head was a kind of shield with a pair of compound eyes, often with thousands of lenses. They were usually an inch or two long but some were 2 feet.44) ________. Of these, the ammonites are very interesting and important. They have a shell composed of many chambers, each representing a temporary home of the animal. As the young grew larger it grew a new chamber and sealed off the previous one. Thousands of these can be seen in the rocks on the Dorset Coast.45) ________.About 75 million years ago the Age of Reptiles was over and most of the groups died out. The mammals quickly developed, and we can trace the evolution of many familiar animals such as the elephant and horse. Many of the later mammals, though now extinct, were known to primitive man and were featured by him in cave paintings and on bone carvings.[A]The shellfish have a long history in the rock and many different kinds are known.[B]Nevertheless, we know a great deal about many of them because their bones and shells have been preserved in the rocks as fossils. From them we can tell their size and shape, how they walked, the kind of food they ate.[C]The first animals with true backbones were the fishes, first known in the rocks of 375 million years ago. About 300 million years ago the amphibians, theanimals able to live both on land and in water, appeared. They were giant, sometimes 8 feet long, and many of them lived in the swampy pools in which our coal seam, or layer, formed. The amphibians gave rise to the reptiles and for nearly 150 million years these were the principal forms of life on land, in the sea, and in the air.[D]The best index fossils tend to be marine creatures. These animals evolved rapidly and spread over large areas of the world.[E]The earliest animals whose remains have been found were all very simple kinds and lived in the sea. Later forms are more complex, and among these are the sea-lilies, relations of the star-fishes, which had long arms and were attached by a long stalk to the sea bed, or to rocks.[F]When an animal dies, the body, its bones, or shell, may often be carried away by streams into lakes or the sea arid there get covered up by mud. If the animal lived in the sea its body would probably sink and be covered with mud. More and more mud would fall upon it until the bones or shell become embedded and preserved.[G]Many factors can influence how fossils are preserved in rocks. Remains of an organism may be replaced by minerals, dissolved by an acidic solution to leave only their impression, or simply reduced to a more stable form.七(六)选五41. B 42. F 43. E 44. A 45.

考研英语一新题型密押模拟题（一）新题型一、七选五或填空式阅读Passage1English has become the world’s number one language in the 20th century. In every country where is not the native language, especially in the Third World, people must strive to learn it to the best of their abilities, if they want to participate fully in the development of their countries.41)__________.42) __________.Nonetheless, a world full of different language will disappear if the present trend in many countries to use English to replace the national or official languages in education, trade and even politics continues.43) __________ .The Third World countries that are now using English as a medium of instruction are depriving 75 per cent of their future leaders of a proper education. According to many studies, only around 20 to 25 per cent of students in these countries can manage to learn the language of instruction as well as basic subjects at the same time. Many leaders of these Third World countries are obsessed with English and for them English is everything. They seem to believe that if the students speak English, they are already knowledgeable.44) __________ .All the greatest countries of the world are great because they constantly use their own languages in all national development activities, including education. From a psychological point of view, those who are taught in their own language from the start will develop better self-confidence and self-reliance. From a linguistic point of view, the best brains can only be produced if students are educated in their own language from the start.45) __________.There is nothing wrong, however, in learning a foreign language at advanced levels of education. But the best thing to do is to have a good education in one’s native language first, then go abroad to have a university in a foreign language.A) If this situation continues, the native or official languages of these countries will certainly die within two or three generations. This phenomenon has been called linguistic genocide. A language dies if it is not fully used in most activities, particularly as a medium of instruction in schools.B) Those who are taught in a foreign language form the start will tend to be imitators and lack self-confidence. They will tend to rely on foreign consultants.C) Suppose you work in a big firm and find and find English very important for your job because you often deal with foreign businessmen. Now you are looking a place where you can improve your English,especially your spoken English.D) But many people are concerned that English’s dominance will destroy native languages.E) These leaders speak and write English much better than their national languages. If these leaders deliver speeches anywhere in the world they use English and they feel more at home with it and proud of their ability as well. The citizens of their countries do not understand their leader’s speeches because they are made in a foreign language.F) Here are some advertisements about English language training from newspapers. You may find the information you need.G) A close examination reveals a great number of languages have fallen casualty to English. For example, it has wiped out Hawaiian, Welsh, Scotch Gaelic, Irish, native American languages, and many others. Luckily, some of these languages are now being revived, such as Hawaiian and Welsh, and these languages will live again, hopefully, if dedicated people continue their work of reviving them.Passage 2In 1959 the average American family paid $ 989 for a year’s supply of food. In 1972 the family paid $1,311. That was a price increase of nearly one –third. Every family has had this sort of experience. Everyone agrees that the cost of feeding a family has risen sharply. But there is less agreement when reasons for the rise are being discussed. Who is reallyresponsible?Many blame the farmers who produce the vegetables, fruit, meat, eggs, and cheese that stores offer for sale. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the farmer’s share of the $1,311 spent by the family in 1972 was $521. This was 31 percent more than the farmer had received in 1959.But farmers claim that this increase was very small compared to the increase in their cost of living. Farmers tend to blame others for the sharp rise in food prices. They particularly blame those who process the farm products after the products leave the farm. These include truck drivers, meat packers, manufacturers of packages and other food containers, and the owners of stores where food is sold. 41) __________.Of the $1,311 family food bill in 1972, middlement received $ 790, which was 33 percent more than they had received in 1959. It appears that the middlemen’s profit has increased more than farmer’s. But some economists claim that the middleman’s actual profit was very law. According to economists at the First National City Bank, the profit for meat packers and food stores amounted to less than one per cent. During the same period all other manufacturers were making a profit of more than 5 per cent.42) __________ .43) __________ .Vegetables and chicken cost more when they have been cut intopieces by someone other than the one who buys it. A family should expect to pay more when several “TV dinners” are taken home from the store. These are fully cooked meals, consisting of meat, vegetables, and sometimes desert, all arranged on a metal dish. The dish is put into the over and heated while the housewife is doing something else. Such a convenience costs money. 44) __________.Economists remind us many modern housewives have jobs outside the home. They earn money that helps to pay the family food bills. The housewife naturally has less time and energy for cooking after a day’s work. She wants to buy many kinds of food that can be put on her family’s table easily and quickly. 45) __________ .It appears that the answer to the question for rising prices is not a simple one. Producers, consumers, and middlemen all share the responsibility for the sharp rise in food costs.A) Thus, as economists point out:” Some of the basic reasons for widening food price spreads are easily traceable to the increasing use of convenience foods, which transfer much of the time and work of meal preparation from the kitchen to the food processor’s plant.”B) They are among the “middlemen” who stand between the farmer and the people who buy and eat the food. Are middlemen the ones to blame for rising food prices?C) “If the housewife wants all of these.” The economists say, “that isher privilege, but she must be prepared to pay for the services of the those who make her work easier.”D) Who then is actually responsible for the size of the bill a housewife must pay before she carries the food home from the store? The economists at First National City Bank have an answer to give housewives, but many people will not like it. These economists blame the housewife herself for the jump in food prices. They say that food costs more now because women don’t want to spend much time in the kitchen. Women prefer to buy food which has already been prepared before it reaches the market.E) However, some economists believe that controls can have negative effects over a long period of time. In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment.F) Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it.G) By comparison with other members of the economic system both farmers and middlemen have profited surprisingly little from the rise in food prices.Passage3Growing cooperation among branches of tourism has proved valuableto all concerned. Government bureaus, trade and travel association carriers and properties are all working together to bring about optimum conditions for travelers.41) __________.They distribute materials to agencies, such as journals, brochures and advertising projects.42) __________ .Tourist counselors give valuable seminars to acquaint agents with new programs and techniques in selling. 43) __________ .Properties and agencies work closely together to make the most suitable contracts, considering both the comfort of the clients and their own profitable financial arrangement. 44) __________ .45) __________.Carriers are dependent upon agencies to supply passengers, and agencies are dependent upon carriers to present them with marketable tours. All services must work together for greater efficiency, fair pricing and contented customers.A) The same confidence exists between agencies and carriers including car-rental and sight-seeing services.B) They offer familiarization and workshop tours so that in a short time agents can obtain first-hand knowledge of the tours.C) Travel operators, specialists in the field of planning, sponsor extensive research programs. They have knowledge of all areas and all carrier services, and they are experts in organizing different types of tours and in preparing effective advertising campaigns.D) As a result of teamwork, tourism is flouring in all countries.E) Agencies rely upon the good services of hotels, and , conversely, hotels rely uponagencies, to fulfill their contracts and to send them clients.F) In this way agents learn to explain destinations and to suggest different modes and combinations of travel- Planes, ships, trains, motorcoaches, car-rentals, and even car purchases.G) Consequently, the agencies started to pay more attention to the comfort of travel.Passage 4Fields across Europe are contaminated with dangerous levels of the antibiotics given to farm animals. The drugs, which are in manure sprayed onto fields as fertilizers, could be getting into our food and water, helping to create a new generation of antibiotic-resistant “superbugs “ .The warning comes from a researcher in Switzerland who looked at levels of the drugs in farm slurry.41) __________ .Some 20,000 tons antibiotics are used in the European Union and the US each year. More than half are given to farm-animals to prevent disease and promote growth. 42) __________.Most researchers assumed that humans become infected with the resistant strains by eating contaminated meat. But far more of the drugs end up in manure than in meat products, says Stephen Mueller of theSwiss Federal Institute for Environmental Science and Technology in Dubendorf. 43) __________ .With millions of tons animals manure spread onto fields of cops such as wheat and barley each year, this pathway seems an equally likely route for spreading resistance, he said. The drugs contaminate the crops, which are then eaten. 44) __________ .Mueller is particularly concerned about a group of antibiotics called sulphonamides. 45) __________ .This concentration is high enough to trigger the development of resistance among bacteria. But vets are not treating the issue seriously.There is growing concern at the extent to which drugs, including antibiotics, are polluting the environment. Many drugs given to humans are also excreted unchanged and broken down by conventional treatment.A) They don’t easily degrade or dissolve in water. His analysis found that Swiss farm manure contains a high percentage of sulphonamides; each hectare of field could be contaminated with up to 1 kilogram of the drugs.B) And manure contains especially high levels of bugs that are resistant to antibiotics, he says.C) Animal antibiotics is still an area to which insufficient attention has been paid.D) But recent research has found a direct link between the increaseduse of these farmyard drugs and the appearance of antibiotic-resistant bugs that infect people.E) His findings are particularly shocking because Switzerland is one of the few countries to have banned antibiotics as growth promoters in animal feed.F) They could also be leaching into tap water pumped from rocks beneath fertilized fields.G) There is no doubt that the food and drink is always important to the health.Passage 5The main problem in discussing American popular culture is also one of its main characteristics: it won’t stay American. No matter what it is, whether it is films, food and fashion, music, casual sports or slang, it’s soon at home elsewhere in the world. There are several theories why American popular culture has had this appeal.One theory is that is has been “advertised” and marketed through American films, popular music, and more recently, television. 41) __________ .They are, after all, in competition with those produced by other countries.Another theory, probably a more common one, is that American popular culture is internationally associated with something called “ the spirit of America .” 42)_________ .The final theory is less complex: American popular culture is popular because a lot of people in the world like it.Regardless of why its spreads, American popular culture is usually quite rapidly adopted and then adapted in many other countries.43)__________ . Black leather jackets worn by many heroes in American movies could be found, a generation later, on all those young men who wanted to make this manly-look their own.Two areas where this continuing process is most clearly seen are clothing and music. Some people can still remember a time. When T-shirts, jogging clothes, tennis shoes, denim jackets, and blue jeans were not common daily wear everywhere .Only twenty years ago, it was possible to spot an American in Paris by his or her clothes. No longer so: those bright colors, checkered jackets and trousers, hats and socks which were once made fun in cartoons are back again in Paris as the latest fashion. 44) __________ .The situation with American popular music is more complex because in the beginning, when it was still clearly American, it was often strongly resisted. Jazz was once thought to be a great danger to youth and their morals, and was actually outlawed in several countries. Today, while still showing its rather American roots, it has become so well established. Rock “n” ro ll and all its variations, country & western music, all have more or less similar histories. They were first resisted, often on Americaas well, as being “low-class,” and then as “a danger to our nation’s youth.” 45)__________ . And then the music became a ccepted and was extended and was extended and developed, and exported back to the U.S.。

When slightly dehydrated, the women reported tiredness, bad temper, headaches and difficulty in focusing. In a separate test, men with mild dehydration also had trouble with mental tasks. ____11____ Scientists are still trying to figure out why.You have a bad workout.____12____ It impacts how much you can push yourself. Even a 2 to 3 percent fluid loss affects your ability to get a good workout and more than 5 percent dehydration decreases exercise capacity by about 30 percent.____13____Driving while you’re dehydrated may be just as dangerous as getting behind the wheel drunk, in terms of how many mistakes you could make on the road.

Museum guards say it’s impossible to stop people frombreaking the no-touch rule. ___16___Most museum-going is still a mainly visual (视觉的) experience for visitors to admire the artworks. ___17___ But over the past few years, more and more museums have been working to include additional senses, like sounds and smells. But touch, especially, is only allowed in certain areas, like the Louvre’s Touch Gallery, or the British Museum’s Hands On Desks.___18___ Before there were museums, there were curiosity rooms filled with a collection of interesting objects from around the world. When people visited the collection, the objects were passed around. Museums continued with this spirit of openness at first.But as museums grew, the spirit no longer existed. When you’ve got 4 million visitors a year, you can hardly have every body touching something. People are awkward and likely to damage the artworks. So the rule against touching artworks makes great sense. Smaller museums still sometimes encourage visitors to touch their objects. ___19___Why are we so unwilling to keep our hands to ourselves? Some people just want to make sure the artworks are real.

This information is then sent to a software program which recreates the 3D shape.Making them moveThe layout crew (摄影构图组) decide how these characters should move and then the cartoonists take over. They use 3D software to create the movements of each character, the skeleton’s (骨架) movements, facial expressions and more, between key frames (帧) in the story.____24____Dressing up for the showThe sets and props are “dressed” according to the designs laid out by the art department.

If they’re young, they’ll end up terrified of going to bed for fear that they’ll never wake up again.___49___ If someone finds out that you’ve lied to them, they will never be able to fully trust you again.
