16、ond Dwithin三、阅读理解AOn October 19, 1959, the first Special English program was broadcast on the Voice of America. It was an experiment. The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language is not English. Experts said the goal was admirable, but the method
17、 would not work. They were proved wrong. The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA. And they still are. Forty years later, Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English. But during the years its role has expanded. It also helps p
18、eople learn American English. And it provides listeners, even those who are native English speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere. Today, Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week, five times a day. Each half-hour broadcast begins with ten minutes of the latest new
19、s followed by 20 minutes of feature programming. There is a different short feature every weekday about science, development, agriculture and environment, and on the weekend, about news events and American idioms. Three elements make Special English unique. It has a limited vocabulary of 1500 words.
20、 Most are simple words that describe objects, actions or emotions. Some are more difficult. They are used for reporting world events and describing discoveries in medicine and science. Special English is written in short, simple sentences that contain only one idea. No idioms are used. And Special E
21、nglish is spoken at a slower pace, about two-thirds the speed of Standard English. This helps people learning English hear each word clearly. It also helps people who are English speakers understand complex subjects. Through the years, Special English has become a very popular tool for teaching Engl
22、ish, even though it was not designed as teaching program. It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non-traditional way. Individuals record the programs and play them over and over to practice their listening skills. In countries around the world, English teachers assign Special English to th
23、eir students. They praise it for improving their students ability to understand American English and for the content of the programs. Universities and private companies in many countries produce packages of Special English materials for student use.1At the beginning, Special English program was .Awe

37、lleges and universities are changing their programs: they drop fun courses and restart some of the traditional subjects neglected (忽视) since the 1960s. Many great schools are again requiring the students to take a number of classes in English, history, literature, the social sciences, philosophy, th
38、e natural sciences, and art if they want to get a degree. Meanwhile, the experts are trying to describe the good education of our time.

Some educators suggest that it should include foreign languages and the study of foreign cultures; a mastery of English, including the ability to write an

46、 an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full of years”, as the Bible would say. Their hom
47、es happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence (吊唁) calls on the two families on the same afternoon.At the first home, the son of the deceased (已故的) woman said to me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow , she would be alive today. Its my fault t
48、hat she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadnt insisted on my mothers going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take. Its my fault that shes dead.” You see that any time th
49、ere is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be two elemen
50、ts involved in our willingness to feel guilty. The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only
51、in our minds.The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.A baby c
52、omes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very o
53、ften, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.1The author had to hold the two womens funerals probably because .A. he wanted to comfort the two families B. he was an official from the community C. he had great pity for the deceased D. he was priest of t
54、he local church 2People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because .A. they couldnt find a better way to express their sorrow B. they believe that they were responsible C. they had neglected the natural course of events D. they didnt know things often turn out in the opposite direction 3
55、According to the passage, the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably means that .A. everything in the world is predeterminedB. the world can be interpreted in different ways C. theres an explanation for everything in the world D. we have to be sensible in order to understand the world 4Whats the ma
56、in idea of the passage?A. Life and death is an unsolved mystery.B. Every story should have a happy ending.C. Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault.D. In general, the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away .第II卷（非选择题）四、阅读填空第一节:阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1)汉语提示
