The fact that a child picks up a language 39 is surprising: at one year old, a child is able to 40 "bye-bye"; at two, he is able to use fifty words; by three he begins to 41 tenses. The famous American linguist Noam Chomsky 42 that human beings have a sort of built-in system for language use, and that the 43 is only secondary. Children are not taught language 44 they are taught arithmetic. Other linguists, 45 , hold the view that a child learns 46 of his language from the hints in the environment. 47 , theorists of both schools 48 that there is a biological basis for language and language use. The 49 is which is more important, the inner ability or the environment. This is certainly a field 50 to be explored. Researchers from both schools are busy finding evidence to 51 their own theory, but 52 side is persuading the other. It seems that in order to 53 why a child learns a language so easily, we have to 54 the joint efforts of both schools. Some linguists, like De Villiers, have recognized the value of cooperation, and 55 linguists of both sides to work together.36. A. Surprisingly B. Personally C. Properly D. Roughly37.

This helps us to adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn't know what's happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture (折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. kook at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude towards it. ff the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.56. What does the writer mean by saying "we pay for our sensitivity'" in the first paragraph?A. We have to take care of our sense of' pain.B. We suffer from our sense of feeling.C. We should try hard to resist pain.D. We are hurt when we feel pain.57. When the author mentions' file Indian fakir, he shows that _________.A. fakirs possess magic powerB. Indians are not afraid of painC. people can learn to cope with painD. some people are born without a sense of pain58. What is essential for people to stand pain according to the writer?A. Their relaxation.B. Their interest.C. Their nerves.D. Their attitude.59. The author believes that _________.A. feeling pain is part of our lifeB. pain should be avoided at all costsC. feeling pain can be an interesting thingD. magic power is essential for reducing painBThe eight airlines of the Oneworld alliance (联盟) have joined forces to give world travelers a simple way to plan and book a round-the-world journey. It's called the Oneworld Explorer program.Oneworld Explorer is the perfect solution for a once-in-a-lifetime holiday or an extended business trip.

The Oneworld Explorer program is said to be most suitable for those who _____.A. have been to the four comers of the earthB. travel around the world on businessC. want to explore the eight airlinesD. need support all along the way61. The advantage of the alliance lies in ________.A. its detailed travel informationB. its unique booking systemC. its longest business flightsD. its global service network62.

The propose of the advertisement is to ___________.A. promote a special flight programB. recommend a long business tripC. describe an alliance flightD. introduce different airlinesCI recently wrote an autobiography in which I recalled many old memories. One of them was from my school day's, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from the Reader's Digest to test our vocabulary.Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out "It pays to Enrich your Word Power" first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Reader's Digest knows the power that words have to move people — to entertain, inform, and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn't always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: "Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk."Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That's usually how it is with Reader's Digest. Small and simple can be profound.As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I've been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like "hope", "guts", "faith", "dreams". Those am words that move people and say' so much about the spirit of America.Don't get me wrong. I'm not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle — if it's the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It's a "secret" that I hope I never forget.64. The passage is mainly about _______.A. one of the many old memoriesB. using simple words to express profound ideasC. Reader's Digest and school speechesD. how to make effective speeches65. It seems that Reader's Digest is a magazine popular with _________.A. people of all agesB. teenagersC. school teachersD. elderly readers66. The author's "secret" is _________.A. to avoid using big words at any timeB. to use words that have the power to move peopleC. to work a miracle by using a small wordD. to use small and simple words where possible67. According to the author, well-chosen words can give people ________.A. hope, courage, and ideasB. confidence, determination, and strengthC. pleasure, knowledge, and encouragementD. entertainment, information, and powerDThere are two kinds of memory: short-mm and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate (中等), and native speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.68. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long, term memory.D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.69. From Henning's result we can see that ________.A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB. advanced students always remember words by their meaningC. it is difficult to remember words that sound alikeD. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning70. The word "subject" in the passage means _________.A. memoryB. the theme of listening materialC. a branch of knowledge studiedD. the student experimented on71. The passage centers on ________.A. memoryB. two kinds of memoryC. short-term memoryD. an experiment on studentsESuccessful innovations (改革) have driven many older technologies to extinction (灭绝) and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand of raw materials and the speed of flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use for each person. The history of industrial development has a great number of examples.In 1870, homes and mules were the prime source of power on U.S. farmers. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings, a ratio (比率) that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological mm of mind. Had they been "economists", they would probably have projected the 1970 home or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been "technologists", they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed (受……约束) to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the home and mule population would decline rapidly.72. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments?A. Older technologies die away.B. The quality of life is improved.C. Overall productivity increase.D. More raw materials become necessary.73. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 ________.A. technology began to be more economicalB. the steam engine had not been inventedC. the U.S. horse population was about 10 millionD. a national commission on agriculture had been established74. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that "economists" would ________.A. plan the economy through yearly forecastsB. fail to consider the influence of technological innovationC. value the economic contribution of farm animalsD. consult the national commission on the economy75. What is the author's attitude towards changes brought on by technological innovations?A. He is excited about themB. He accepts them as naturalC. He is disturbed by themD. He questions their usefulnessIV 短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

satisfaction.“Perfect！”I said.“Now，all I have to do is to keep the dogs off of it.” I went about setting up barriers(障碍)using old fence，broken chairs，flowerpots，and anything I could find so as to avoid footprints both on the oil paint and our carpet.It worked perfectly.Just before returning to the house and to a much needed shower，I took one last look at this fine work of art.“What is that？”I said.“Where did that come from？”Clearly marked and evenly spaced across the entire area，I found tiny marks running in straight lines.I carefully stepped to our flower garden.It was there I found several of the small markings.Now，almost frozen in place by this stunning(令人震惊的)discovery，I remained in position so as to prevent further damaging my work.Just then，off to my left，it appeared.A chipmunk(花栗鼠)．He was as stunned as I was.We stood there face to face looking at each other，wondering who would make the first move.The warm，wet air was now getting the best of me.Sweat now ran freely over my head，and in poor timing(适时)into my eyes.I reached up to rub them and when I opened my eyes he was gone.My only satisfaction was in thinking that when he returned home he tracked oily footprints into his own home.And，hoping he was married，his wife would not let him live it down for the rest of his life.I stood up，shook my head，and laughing about it all walked into my house.Yes，I tracked oil on the carpet.I am married.My wife will not let me live it downfor the rest of my life.36．What was the project the author completed in the passage?A．A painting.

What is the text mainly about?A．Arthur Miller and his family.B．The awards Arthur Miller won.C．The hardship Arthur Miller experienced.D．Arthur Miller and his best-known play.CToday，we complete our story about the influential English writer William Shakespeare.He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries，which remain very popular today.During earlier times，people would probably have learned several ancient Romanand Greek plays.It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works.For example，in Shakespeare's play “The Comedy of Errors”，Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus.For his play “Macbeth”，Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information.Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers，but the intensity of his imagination and language made the plays his own.While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten，Shakespeare and his art live on.Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him.He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays.His works include observations about political struggles，the fear of diseases，and the popular language of the city's tradesmen.Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear.His works include descriptions of deep forests，local flowers，and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare's works have influenced the world culture.But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language.During his time，the English language was changing.Many new words from other languages were being added.Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic (富诗意的) inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones.For example，he created the noun forms of “critic” ，“mountaineer” and “eyeball”．Many common expressions in English come from his plays，including “pomp and circumstance(隆重的仪式)”from “Othello” ，“full circle (绕圈子)”from “King Lear”，etc.The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless.From paintings to television to music and dance，Shakespeare was well represented.Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world.Shakespeare became a well-known writer during a golden age of theater.His years of hard work paid off.43．What can we infer from the passage?A．Many of Shakespeare's works were influenced by earlier writings.B．Shakespeare was hard-working when he was a student.C．The experience of living in London helped a lot with Shakespeare's works.D．Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.44．Shakespeare

to understand a journal article，reading comprehension is involved in.Unfortunately，when the reading material is difficult，our reading comprehension can suffer.Learning to comprehend what you read can help you prevent wasting time as well as make you more productive(富有成效的) on the job or at school.The things you already know are important for understanding things you're going to learn.Before you begin reading something on a new topic，think about what you already know about it and how what you are reading might build upon that.Since kindergarten，we've all been told to keep a dictionary nearby when reading，but few of us follow this advice.If you are not absolutely certain of the meaning of a word，look it up.You'll not only make reading easier；you'll also improve your vocabulary.If you are reading especially challenging material，try taking notes.If you write while you are reading，reading will become boring and your comprehension will godownhill.Instead，make an outline at the end of each paragraph or sentence.Someone thinks that speed reading is very popular，and certainly has its place.However，from my point of view，it's a terrible idea if you want tolearn.Besides，speed reading will cost you more time because you will have to go back and review if you understand what you have read quickly.Focus on quality reading rather than quick reading，and take frequent breaks if you begin to get distracted(注意力分散的)．When reading something boring，it's easy to just read the words without even understanding what they mean.At such times，just find a way to relate to the material.Write down questions，and look up concepts online to get alternative perspectives.Your comprehension will improve and you'll be less likely to need to reread.47．The passage is intended to teach students how to ________.A．form good study habitsB．take notes when reading booksC．improve reading comprehensionD．treat their reading homework properly48．The author suggests that when reading books we should ________.A．refuse to use a dictionaryB．think about what we knowC．pay more attention to new topicsD．practise speed reading first49. According to the passage，what's the author's attitude towards speed reading?A．Curious. B．Positive.C．Unconcerned. D．Opposed.50. What should we do if we come across some boring materials?A．Ignore new words.B．Make every effort to understand it.C．Read it without understanding.D．Ask for help from others.Ⅳ.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)Students will need to use all of their skills in order to understand the reading selections in Reader's Choice.51．________ These selections provide practice on employing different reading skills to get the message of the writer.They also give students practice in four basic reading skills：skimming，scanning，reading for thorough comprehension，and critical reading.Skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents.This kind of rapid reading is suitable when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or 52.________Like skimming，scanning is also quick reading.However，in this case the search is more concentrated.53.________ When you read to find a particular date，or number you are scanning.Reading for thorough comprehension is carefully reading in order to understand the total meaning of the passage.At this level of comprehension the reader is able to summarize the author's ideas 54.________Critical reading demands that a reader makes judgments about what he or she reads.This kind of reading requires posting and answering questions such as “55.________“Do I share the author's point of view？”And “Am I convinced by the author's arguments and evidence？”A．Does my own experience support that of the author?B．Reader's Choice is one of the most popular magazines in the world.C．but has not yet made a critical evaluation of those ideas.D．The book contains many types of selections on a wide variety of topics.E．To scan is to read quickly in order to find out specific information.F．Do I know about the author?G．when there is no time to read something carefully.Ⅴ.短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Last week，I met a stranger who seemed to be losing.

But it was not a valuable book, and so a poor man, who could read little, bought it for very little money.The book wasn’t very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum on which was written the secret of the “Touchstone”! The touchstone was a small pebble that could turn any common metal into pure gold.The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles are cold.So the man sold his few belongings, bought some simple supplies, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold, throw it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days continued over a long period of time.One day, however, about mid-afternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along he still threw it away.So it is with opportunity. Unless we are careful, it’s easy to fail to recognize an opportunity when it is in hand and it’s just as easy to throw it away.46. The man bought the book because ______.A. he wanted to read itB. it was very interestingC. there was a secret in the bookD. he wanted tofind the touchstone47. We can learn from the passage that the touchstone is ______.A. pureB. coldC. magicD. big48. What does the author want to tell us in the passageA. We should offer opportunities in our life.B. We should seek for opportunities in the world.C. We may seize opportunities when we are watchful.D. We may discover opportunities when forming habits.BPeople living in the UK take quite a few holidays abroad and in the country each year. Choices made about where to go, how to get there and what to do can either benefit or harm the environment.While on holidayMany of the things you can do to the greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home—but there are also some extra things too, like avoiding gifts made from endangered plants and animals. Here are some suggestions:●Making the most of locally pro duced food and drink, and local activities and attractions will support people in the area you are visiting and reduce the need for further environmental influence from transport.●Switching off any air conditioning, heating and lights will help reduce climate change effect.●Save water—some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to our natural habitats （栖息地）.Endangered species(物种)Some gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals. Check before you buy, but if you doubt, avoid animal and plant gifts. More details of the types of products to avoid any illegal trade hotspots can be found on the Souvenir Alert webpage.Making a positive contribution to the place you are visiting.There are ways in which your holiday can help support local people and the environment.●There are many opportunities to volunteer and help with projects that conserve and improve natural habitats.●When you are away, or if you are looking for some where to visit, you can support projects or attractions which protect wildlife, such as nature reserves and conservation projects.49.

The passage is mainly about ______.A. travel enjoymentB. the harm to the environmentC. greener choices for holidayD. protection of endangered animalsCWhen I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought ‘VACANCIES’ meant ‘holidays’, because the Spanish word for ‘holidays’ is ‘vacaciones’. So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ‘VACANCLES’, which in Englishmeans there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said ‘NO VACANCLES’, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word ‘DIVERSION’ means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word ‘DIVERSION’ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hold. English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “Thank you” in French means “No, thank you.”53. My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.A. learning EnglishB. finding places to stay in EnglandC. driving their car on English roadsD. going to England by car54. ‘NO VACANCIES’ in English means ______.A. no free roomsB. free roomsC. not away on holidayD. holidays55.
