25、particular D. languages E. primary AE. survival AD. preserving AC. extremely AB. frequently BC. disappearing“True creativity often starts where language ends.”-Arthur KoestlerThe net plays another, more active, role on the linguistic（语言学的）front, a role that is 41overlooked by many people who believe
26、 English victory is on the go. Since the advent (来临) of World Wide Web, many minority 42，those spoken by single nations or ethnic groups, have enjoyed a dramatic upsurge(急剧上升)in vitality. Many such tongues were 43 endangered just a decade ago. Late-century mobility and economic currents were taking
27、more and more speakers out of their communities and away from fellow speakers. Languages were 44 at an alarming rate.Like biological extinction, linguistic extinction is a serious loss for all of humankind. Languages are some of the 45 ways people maintain their culture and are crucial to understand
28、ing other cultures. When fewer and fewer people share a 46 language, it may die, and when it does, part of our collective human culture dies with itSurprisingly, though, the Internet has become a valuable tool for 47 endangered languages. Speakers of these languages not only have been particularly a
29、ctive in putting up web pages in their various languages, but also in mounting (配置) 48 effective, large-scale dictionary and language-learning projects online. There is no reason why minority languages cannot live together with a common social language like English. Indeed, the Internet offers more
30、hope for their 49 than they have ever known before, especially as translation tools become more effective. III. Reading ComprehensionSection A (20%)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase tha
31、t best fits the context.Millions of Americans and foreigners see GI. Joe as a mindless war toy, the symbol of American military adventurism, but thats not how it used to be. To the men and women who 50 in World War and the people they liberated, the GI was the 51 man grown into hero, the poor farm k
32、id torn away from his home, the guy who 52 all the burdens of battles, who slept in cold foxholes, who went without the 53 of food and shelter, who stuck it out and drove back the Nazi reign of murder.

40、A. on the contraryB. by this meansC. from the beginningD. at that point Section B (42%)Directions: Read the following five passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best acc
41、ording to the information given in the passage you have just read.( A )About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our “act” would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things. We all st
42、ood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous a
43、ctors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in “snow”. Two more fans were turned on, and a “strong
44、 wind” blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold. The next scene was a complete contrast. The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood of the scene so that they
45、 looked trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, as if they were at the waters edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio! Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us.
46、 For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”! 70. Who is the author? A. A cameraman.B. A film director. C. A crowd-scene actor.D. A workman for scene setting. 71. What made the author feel cold? A. The heavy snowfall.B. The man-made scene. C. T
47、he low temperature.D. The film being shown. 72. What would happen in the “three minutes” mentioned in the last paragraph? A. A new scene would be filmed.B. More stars would act in the film. C. The author would leave the studio.D. The next scene would be prepared.( B )Human wants seem endless. When a
48、 starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view. The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, an
49、other level appears. The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears, clothing and some sorts of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It inclu
50、ded such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportat
51、ion of the human body, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called luxury items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and entertainment. Also included here are fan
52、cy foods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels, more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand
53、 luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. After filling stomachs, our clothes, ou
54、r garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, ,safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.73. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when _. A. he has saved up enough money B.
55、he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter C. he has satisfied his hunger for food D. he has learned to build house74. It can be inferred from the passage that at the end of World War II most Americans _. A. were very rich B. live in poverty C. had the good things on the first three levels D.
56、 did not own automobiles75. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level? A. The more goods the better B. The more mental satisfaction the better C. The more luxury items the better D. The more earnings the better76. The author is inclined to think that a fifth level _ A. would be little bett
57、er than the fourth level B. may be a lot more desirable than the first four C. can be the last and most satisfying level D. will become attainable provided the government takes action( C )In the more and more competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. Toda
58、y, customer “delight” is what companies are trying to achieve in order to keep and increase market share. It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researchers, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people; those treated ba
59、dly tell tales of woe to up to 20 people. Interestingly, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal. New challenges for customer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet. For example, many companie
60、s now have to invest a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage”- caused by delays in answering calls, being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.“Many people do not like talking to machines,” says Dr, Storey, Senior Lect
61、urer in Marketing at City University Business School. “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them. The aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust them the sort of comfortable feelings people
62、 have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.”Recommended ways of creating customer delight include: under-promising and over-delivering ( saying that a repair will be carried out within five hours, but getting it done within two) replacing a faulty product immediately; throwing i
63、n a gift voucher (购物礼券)as an unexpected “thank you” to regular customers; and always returning calls, even when they are complaints.Aiming for customer delight is all very well, but if services do not reach the high level promised, disappointment or worse will be the result. This can be eased by off
64、ering an apology and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example, “I know how you must feel”), and possible solutions (replacement, compensation or whatever fairness suggests best meets the case).Airlines face some of the toughest challenges over customer
65、 care. Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems.For British Airways staff, a winning telephone style is considered vital i
66、n handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times. They are trained to answer quickly, with their names, job title and a “we are here to help” attitude. The company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen.Britis
67、h Airways also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service.Customer care is obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as “we do as we please”. On
68、 the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment.77. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that _.A. complaining customers are hard to satisfyB. unsatisfied customers receive better serviceC .satisfied customers catch more attention D. well-treated customers promote b
69、usiness78. The writer mentions “phone rage” (Paragraph 3) to show that _.A. customers often use phones to express their angerB. people still prefer to buy goods onlineC. customer care becomes more demandingD. customers rely on their phones to obtain services79. If a manager should show his empathy (
70、Paragraph 6), what would he probably say?A. “I know how upset you must be.”B. “I appreciate your understanding.”C. “Im sorry for the delay.”D. “I know its our fault.”80. Which of the following is conveyed in this article?A. Face-to-face service creates comfortable feelings among customers.B. Compani
71、es that promise more will naturally attract more customers.C. A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market.D. Customer delight is more important for air lines than for banks.( D )Homework has never been terribly popular with students and even many parents, but in recent years it
72、 has been particularly scorned(蔑视). School districts across the country, most recently Los Angeles Unified, are revising their thinking on this educational ritual. Unfortunately, L.A. Unified has produced an inflexible policy which mandates (强制) that with the exception of some advanced courses, home
73、work may no longer count for more than 10% of a students academic grade.This rule is meant to solve the difficulty that students from poor or chaotic homes might have in completing their homework. But the policy is unclear and contradictory. Certainly, no homework should be assigned that students ca
74、nnot complete on their own or that they cannot do without expensive equipment. But if the district is essentially giving a pass to students who do not do their homework because of complicated family lives, it is going riskily close to the implication that standards need to be lowered for poor childr
75、en.District administrators say that homework will still be a part of schooling; teachers are allowed to assign as much of it as they want. But with homework counting for no more than 10% of their grades, students can easily skip half their homework and see very little difference on their report card
76、s. Some students might do well on state tests without completing their homework, but what about the students who performed well on the tests and did their homework? It is quite possible that the homework helped. Yet rather than empowering teachers to find what works best for their students, the poli
77、cy imposes a flat, across-the-board rule.At the same time, the policy solves none of the truly thorny(棘手的) questions about homework. If the district finds homework to be unimportant to its students academic achievement, it should move to reduce or eliminate the assignments, not make them count for a
78、lmost nothing. Conversely(相反地), if homework matters, it should account for a significant portion of the grade. Meanwhile, this policy does nothing to ensure that the homework students receive is meaningful or appropriate to their age and the subject, or that teachers are not assigning more than they
79、 are willing to review and correct.The homework rules should be put on hold while the school board, which is responsible for setting educational policy, looks into the matter and conducts public hearings. It is not too late for L.A. Unified to do homework right.81. It is implied in paragraph 1 that
80、nowadays homework_.A. is receiving more criticismB. is no longer an educational ritualC. is not required for advanced coursesD. is gaining more preferences82. L.A.Unified has made the rule about homework mainly because poor students_.A. tend to have moderate expectations for their educationB. have a
81、sked for a different educational standardC. may have problems finishing their homeworkD. have voiced their complaints about homework83. According to Paragraph 3 one problem with the policy is that it may_.A. discourage students from doing homeworkB. result in students indifference to their report ca
82、rdsC. undermine the authority of state testsD. restrict teachers power in education84. As mentioned in Paragraph 4 a thorny question unanswered about homework is_.A. it should be eliminatedB. it counts much in schoolingC. it places extra burdens on teachersD. it is important for grades85. A suitable
83、 title for this text could be_.A .Wrong Interpretations of an Educational PolicyB. A Welcomed Policy for Poor StudentsC. Thorny Questions about HomeworkD. A Faulty Approach to Homework( E )The most thoroughly studied in the history of the new world are the ministers and political leaders of seventee
84、nth-century New England. According to the standard history of American philosophy, nowhere else in colonial America was “So much important attached to intellectual pursuits”. According to many books and articles, New Englands leaders established the basic themes and preoccupations of an unfolding, d
85、ominant Puritan(清教徒的) tradition in American intellectual life. To take this approach to the New Englanders normally mean to start with the Puritans theological innovations and their distinctive ideas about the church-important subjects that we may not neglect. But in keeping with our examination of
86、southern intellectual life, we may consider the original Puritans as carriers of European culture adjusting to New world circumstances. The New England colonies were the scenes of important episodes in the pursuit of widely understood ideals of civility and virtuosity(精湛技艺). The early settlers of Ma
87、ssachusetts Bay included men of impressive education and influence in England. Besides the ninety or so learned ministers who came to Massachusetts church in the decade after 1629, there were political leaders like John Winthrop, an educated gentleman, lawyer, and official of the Crown before he jou
88、rneyed to Boston. There men wrote and published extensively, reaching both New World and Old World audiences, and giving New England an atmosphere of intellectual earnestness. We should not forget, however, that most New Englanders were less well educated. While few crafts men or farmers, let alone
89、dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed. Their thinking often had a traditional superstitions quality. A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, left an account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs. Sexual confusion, economic frustr
90、ations , and religious hope-all name together in a decisive moment when he opened the Bible, told his father the first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words: “come out from among them, touch no unclean thing , and I will be your God and you shall be my people.” One wonders wh
91、at Dane thought of the careful sermons(布道) explaining the Bible that he heard in puritan churches. Meanwhile, many settlers had slighter religious commitments than Danes, as one clergyman learned in confronting folk along the coast who mocked that they had not come to the New world for religion. “Ou
92、r main end was to catch fish.”86. The author notes that in the seventeenth-century New England_.A. Puritan tradition dominated political life.B. intellectual interests were encouraged.C .politics benefited much from intellectual efforts.D .intellectual pursuits enjoyed a liberal environment.87. It i
93、s suggested in paragraph 2 that New Englanders_.A. experienced a comparatively peaceful early history.B. brought with them the culture of the Old WorldC. paid little attention to southern intellectual lifeD. were obsessed with religious innovations88. The early ministers and political leaders in Mas
94、sachusetts Bay_.A. were famous in the New World for their writings B. gained increasing importance in religious affairsC. abandoned high positions before coming to the New WorldD. created a new intellectual atmosphere in New England89. The story of John Dane shows that less well-educated New England
95、ers were often _.A. influenced by superstitions B. troubled with religious beliefsC. puzzled by church sermonsD. frustrated with family earnings90. The text suggests that early settlers in New England_.A. were mostly engaged in political activitiesB. were motivated by an illusory prospectC. came fro
96、m different backgrounds.D. left few formal records for later referenceSection C (5%)Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A. Independence leading to family breakupB. Womens easy and conv
97、enient life in USAC. No marriage for many people nowadaysD. Average American families getting smallE. Full freedom for young womenAE. Divorce- a social problem in USA91. _ Marriage, like other social instructions, is showing the strains of modern life. While more Americans are getting married today
98、than ever before, the divorce rate is also disturbingly on the rise ( one divorce for every three marriages last year). Why should this be so, and what, if anything, can we do to reverse this trend?92._ For most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. Convenience foods from the
99、 supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have made housework much easier to do. Released from these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. Women are achieving economic independence.93 ._ Families, too, ar
100、e simpler today. In American, it is not customary for parents to live with their married children. With our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry, going wherever their jobs or their interests take them.94._ Young
101、 adult women have new freedom, too. While attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives. After college, they move to the city, find a job, and set up “bachelor” apartment. This is the era of womens liberation.95. _But all this freedom and affl
102、uence have had an unforeseen and in some respects a devastating effect on marriage. Men and women, no longer dependent on each other for food and maintenance, find it harder to accept the responsibilities and restraints or endurance the misunderstandings of married life. When happiness becomes miser
103、y, many couples decide to terminate their marriage through divorce. On the other hand, there is a growing trend today for couples in trouble to try to save their marriage by consulting a professional counselor.
