A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar ”
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase(公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
“All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”
A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the topic of deep disappointment.
39. The author took the job to teach writing because _________.
A. he wanted to be respected B. he had written some stories
C. he wanted to please his father D. he had dreamed of being a teacher
40. Before he started his class, the author asked the students to _________.
A. write down their suggestions on the paper cards
B. cut maple leaves out of the construction paper
C. cut some cards out of the construction paper
D. write down their names on the paper cards
41. What did the students do when the author started his class
A. They began to talk. B. They stayed silent.
C. They raised their hands. D. They shouted to be heard.
42 The author chose the composition topic probably because _________.
A. he got disappointed with his first class B. he had prepared the topic before class
C. he wanted to calm down the students D. he thought it was an easy topic
C
The Queen’s English is now sounding less upper-class, a scientific study of the Queen’s Christmas broadcasts had found. Researchers have studied each of her messages to the Commonwealth countries since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble Upper Received to the Standard Received.
Jonathan Harrington, a professor at Germany’s University of Munich, wanted to discover whether accent (口音) changers recorded over the past half century would take place within one person. “As far as I know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records,” he said.
He said the noble way of pronouncing vowels (元音) had gradually lost ground as the noble upper-class accent over the past years. “Her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago. But these are very, very small and slow changes that we don’t notice from year to year.”
“We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes,” he told The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper. “In 1952 she would have been hears saying ‘thet men in the bleck het’. Now it would be ‘that man in the black hat’. And ‘hame’ rather than ‘home’. In the 1950s she would have been ‘lorst’, but by the 1970s ‘lost’.”
The Queen’s broadcast is a personal message to the Commonwealth countries. Each Christmas, the 10-minute broadcast is put on TV at 3 pm in Britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch. (传统火鸡午餐).
The results were published (发表) in the Journal of Phonetics.
43. The Queen’s broadcasts were chosen for the study mainly because ______.
A she has been Queen for many years B. she has a less upper-class accent now
C. her speeches are familiar to many people D. her speeches have been recorded for 50 years
44. Which of the following is an example of a less noble accent in English
A. “duaty” B. “citee” C. “hame” D. “lorst”
45. We may infer from the text that the Journal of Phonetics is a magazine on _______.
A. speech sounds B. Christmas customs C. TV broadcasting D. personal messages
46. What is the text mainly about
A. The relationship between accents and social classes.
B. The Queen’s Christmas speeches on TV.
C The changes in a person’s accent.
D. The recent development of the English language.

Let this young man go to him and learn from him for at least three years. ”
The man could not believe that there could be a greater archer than him, but he went and found the old man and he was! For three years he learned from him.

The old man took a small piece of wood and threw it. It struck the arrow and the arrow turned back and wounded the young man badly. The old man came, took out the arrow and said, “I knew that some day or other you were going to do this. That’s why I have not taught you this secret. There is no need to kill me.

A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar ”
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase(公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
“All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forest of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”
A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the topic of deep disappointment.
39. The author took the job to teach writing because _________.
A. he wanted to be respected B. he had written some stories
C. he wanted to please his father D. he had dreamed of being a teacher
40. Before he started his class, the author asked the students to _________.
A. write down their suggestions on the paper cards
B. cut maple leaves out of the construction paper
C. cut some cards out of the construction paper
D. write down their names on the paper cards
41. What did the students do when the author started his class
A. They began to talk. B. They stayed silent.
C. They raised their hands. D. They shouted to be heard.
42. The author chose the composition topic probably because _________.
A. he got disappointed with his first class B. he had prepared the topic before class
C. he wanted to calm down the students D. he thought it was an easy topic
【答案】39. A 40. D 41. B 42. A
【解析】

【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的第三句话“I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. (我毫不犹豫地接受了这份工作，因为这样我就可以打领带，并以戴维斯先生的名字称呼自己)”可知，作者从事写作教学工作是因为他想被人尊敬。故选A项。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的最后一句话“I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.(我把卡片分发了出去，学生们按照我的要求写下自己的名字，把卡片绑在胸前的口袋里)”可知，在他开始上课之前，作者让学生们把他们的名字写在纸卡片上。故选D项。

【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”(我一直以为学生们会第一个发言，就当天的事件发表他们的想法和意见。我曾想象自己会坐在桌子边上，俯瞰一片手的森林。每个学生都会大叫。“冷静点，会轮到你们的。一个一个来，一个一个来！”)”及第五段“A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.(教室里一片可怕的寂静，看不出其他的意见，我检查了学生，拿出他们的笔记本，写了一篇简短的文章，主题是深深的失望)”可知，作者想象他的第一节课学生会很积极地发言表达自己的观点，自己只能让学生一次一个地说，可没想到的是自己的第一节课竟然一片寂静，没有人发言，所以作者很失望。由此可知，作者选择那样一个作文题目可能是因为他对他的第一堂课感到失望。故选A项。

The Queen’s English is now sounding less upper-class, a scientific study of the Queen’s Christmas broadcasts had found. Researchers have studied each of her messages to the Commonwealth countries since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble Upper Received to the Standard Received.
Jonathan Harrington a professor at Germany’s University of Munich, wanted to discover whether accent (口音) changers recorded over the past half century would take place within one person. “As far as I know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records,” he said.
He said the noble way of pronouncing vowels (元音) had gradually lost ground as the noble upper-class accent over the past years. “Her accent sounds slightly less noble than it did 50 years ago. But these are very, very small and slow changes that we don’t notice from year to year.”
“We may be able to relate it to changes in the social classes,” he told The Daily Telegraph, a British newspaper. “In 1952 she would have been hears saying ‘thet men in the bleck het’. Now it would be ‘that man in the black hat’. And ‘hame’ rather than ‘home’. In the 1950s she would have been ‘lorst’, but by the 1970s ‘lost’.”
The Queen’s broadcast is a personal message to the Commonwealth countries. Each Christmas, the 10-minute broadcast is put on TV at 3 pm in Britain as many families are recovering from their traditional turkey lunch. (传统火鸡午餐).
The results were published (发表) in the Journal of Phonetics.
43. The Queen’s broadcasts were chosen for the study mainly because ______.
A. she has been Queen for many years B. she has a less upper-class accent now
C. her speeches are familiar to many people D. her speeches have been recorded for 50 years
44. Which of the following is an example of a less noble accent in English
A. “duaty” B. “citee” C. “hame” D. “lorst”
45. We may infer from the text that the Journal of Phonetics is a magazine on _______.
A. speech sounds B. Christmas customs C. TV broadcasting D. personal messages
46. What is the text mainly about
A. The relationship between accents and social classes.
B. The Queen’s Christmas speeches on TV.
C. The changes in a person’s accent.
D. The recent development of the English language.
【答案】43. D 44. B 45. A 46. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。Jonathan教授想知道同一个人的口音在半个世纪的前后会不会发生变化，研究人员对女王的圣诞节发言进行研究后发现她的发音发生了变化，文章中分析了发生变化的原因。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Jonathan Harrington, a professor at Germany’s University of Munich, wanted to discover whether accent (口音) changers recorded over the past half century would take place within one person. “As far as I know, there just is nobody else for whom there is this sort of broadcast records,” he said.（德国慕尼黑大学的教授Jonathan Harrington同一个人的口音在半个世纪的前后会不会发生变化。“据我所知，没有其他人有这种广播记录，”他说）”可知，女王的圣诞播音被选，是因为只有她有50多年的声音记录。故选D。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“ “In 1952 she would have been hears saying ‘thet men in the bleck het’. Now it would be ‘that man in the black hat’. And ‘hame’ rather than ‘home’. In the 1950s she would have been ‘lorst’, but by the 1970s ‘lost’.”（“在1952年，人们会听到她说‘thet men in the bleck het’。现在是‘that man in the black hat’。‘hame’而不是‘home’。在1950年代，她会说‘lorst’，但到了1970年代，她说‘lost’。”）”可知hame和lorst是贵族式发音，对比lorst推知duaty是贵族式发音。由此可知，citee不是贵族式发音。故选B。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的主要内容可知，文章是关于语音的，再结合最后一段“The results were published (发表) in the Journal of Phonetics.（研究结果发表在《语音学杂志》上）”推知，文章是发表在与之有关的杂志上。故选A。
【46题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章的主要内容，尤其第一段的“Researchers have studied each of her messages to the Commonwealth countries since 1952 to find out the change in her pronunciation from the noble Upper Received to the Standard Received.（自1952年以来，研究人员对女王发给英联邦国家的每封邮件进行了研究，以找出她的发音从高贵的“Upper Received”转变为“Standard Received”的变化）”和第二段的“Jonathan Harrington, a professor at Germany’s University of Munich, wanted to discover whether accent (口音) changers recorded over the past half century would take place within one person.（德国慕尼黑大学的教授Jonathan Harrington同一个人的口音在半个世纪的前后会不会发生变化）”可知，文章是针对一个人的口音在半世纪前后的变化及分析写的。故选C。

I. Translation（15分）
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.
51. 这种治疗方法能够使病人不感到疼痛。（keep... from...）（汉译英）
【答案】This remedy can keep the patients from feeling pain.
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构和动词。表示“这种治疗方法”，使用名词短语：this remedy作主语；表示“能够使病人不感到疼痛”可使用动词短语can keep...from feeling pain作谓语部分，使用名词复数patients作宾语。故翻译为This remedy can keep the patients from feeling pain.
52. Emily的父亲眼睛受伤后，Emily日夜照料他。（care）（汉译英）
【答案】After her father’s eyes were injured, Emily cared for him day and night.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态，语态和动词短语。表示“受伤”可以用动词短语"be injured"；表示“照料”可以用动词短语"care for"；表示“日夜”可以用短语"day and night"。注意时态应该为一般过去时。故翻译为"After her father’s eyes were injured, Emily cared for him day and night."。
53. 平衡的饮食和足够的运动一定会使你保持身体健康，而且头发也光彩靓丽。（keep） （汉译英）
【答案】(Eating) a balanced diet and (getting) plenty of exercise will surely keep you healthy and also make your hair shiny and pretty.
【解析】
【详解】考查动名词和固定短语。“平衡的饮食”是a balanced diet，“足够的运动”是plenty of exercise，也可用动名词短语eating a balanced diet和getting plenty of exercise作主语，“一定会”表明句子时态用一般将来时，即will do sth.，可加表肯定的副词surely作状语， “使你保持身体健康”用固定短语keep you healthy，“而且头发也光彩靓丽”也就是“也会使你的头发光彩靓丽”，也就是“also make your hair shiny and pretty”，因此整句话翻译为“(Eating) a balanced diet and (getting) plenty of exercise will surely keep you healthy and also make your hair shiny and pretty”。故答案为(Eating) a balanced diet and (getting) plenty of exercise will surely keep you healthy and also make your hair shiny and pretty。
54. 把你的头发弄湿后，使用一种适合你发型的香波。（After getting...）（汉译英）
【答案】After getting your hair wetted, apply a shampoo that suits your type of hair.
【解析】
【详解】考查介词、动名词、短语、名词和定语从句。陈述客观事实，句子使用一般现在时，根据提示词“After getting”可知，表示“把你的头发弄湿后”译为After getting your hair wetted，get sth. done为固定短语，意为“使某事被做”；表示“使用一种适合你发型的香波”译为apply a shampoo that suits your type of hair，apply表示“应用，涂抹”，that为定语从句中的关系代词，指代前面表示物的先行词shampoo。故翻译为After getting your hair wetted, apply a shampoo that suits your type of hair。

The king was about to do so when an old servant of the king said,“Wait, my king. I know an old man who lives in the forest. He is a much greater archer. Let this young man go to him and learn from him for at least three years. ”
The man could not believe that there could be a greater archer than him, but he went and found the old man and he was! For three years he learned from him. Then one day, when he thought he had learned everything, the thought arose in him, “If I kill this old man, then I will be the greatest archer.”
The old man had gone to cut wood and he was coming back carrying wood on his shoulder. The young man hid behind a tree, waiting to kill him. He shot an arrow. The old man took a small piece of wood and threw it. It struck the arrow and the arrow turned back and wounded the young man badly. The old man came, took out the arrow and said, “I knew that some day or other you were going to do this. That’s why I have not taught you this secret. There is no need to kill me. My master is still alive, and I’m nothing better than him. It would take you at least thirty years to learn from him. Actually, one can never be the greatest.”
【答案】Once a great young archer asked the king to declare him as the greatest archer of the country. But he was advised to learn from the greater archer, an old man in the forest. And he did so. Three years later, to become the greatest archer, he shot an arrow at the old man, but the old man threw a small piece of wood to strike the arrow.

Paragraph 1: the importance of hairdressing
Paragraph 2: men’s hair in the 20th century and its improvement.
参考词汇：crew cut平头
【答案】 Hairdressing is the art of arranging the hair or otherwise modifying its natural state. Hairdressing has been an important part of the dress of both men and women since ancient time and, like dress, serves a number of functions.
Men’s hair in the 20th century was generally simple and short, even to the point of the brush-like crew cut, and most men were clean shaven. In the 1960’s a part of young people started a trend toward longer hair and side beards to suit their unconventional clothes. Some went to wild-looking extremes; others chose moderate, clean and tidy styles to the nape of the neck, shaved to make the shape of the head look nice. Such styles were created or copied in the newly established men’s hairdressing salons that offered scissor or razor cuts, lotions, drying in nets, hairspray, and coloring.
