答案与解析
1．A 下文讲英语有了许多变化，应是在“随后的”300年。following随后的；接下来的。
2．C 此句含有so...that...结构，因名词前有many修饰，故用so，而不用such。
3．B 空后的名词places是复数，故排除A和C。在此特指英美两国，填both具有特指意义。若填two则为泛指，须在two前加the才具有特指意义。故B符合语境。
4．D 既然有那么大的变化，就很“容易”把英美人区别开来。
5．B tell...from...意为“把……和……区别开来”。
6．A 后面说“但在美国保留下来了”，则前面应说“在英国消失了”。disappear消失。
7．D 后面说在“faucet，spigot，tap”这三个词中，只有tap一词在英国还用得普遍，则前面应说在美国各地“仍”能听到。
8．C 谈论的是英美两国，前面说的是美国，but后说的应是“英国”。
9．C ones在此代替本句中的words。
10．A 本文讲的是英美语言的差异，因而同一单词在英美两国中所指的可能不同。
11．A 随着历史的前进，语言也向前发展，因此英语也增加了数千个新词。add意为“增加”；add up意为“把……加起来”，故选A。
12．B before从前；以前。符合语境。
13．C 由接下来的例子可知此处选C。
14．D 句意：radio这个词在世界各地被使用。
15．C have something to do with...意为“与……有关”。
16．A 主语是anything，根据主谓一致的原则，选A。
17．A 由句意可知选A。
18．A from从……符合语境。
19．D because后跟句子，引导原因状语从句；because of后跟名词或代词。
20．C 句意：将来有一天，大西洋两岸(指英美两国)可能讲同一种英语。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
As you are students of English，it's very possible that you'll be interested in England. That's where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So，now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let's see what each of these names means.
If you look at a map of Europe，you'll see a group of islands—one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles. The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland.
Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?
In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.
There's another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”， “Britain”， “Great Britain”， and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”．Now do you know what each of them means?
1．English was first spoken in ________.
A．Britain B．England
C．Great Britain D．Ireland
2．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A．Wales is the richest of the three.
B．Scotland is the largest of the three.
C．Sometimes England is used instead of Britain.
D．Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles.
3．The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is________.
A．part of Britain
B．part of British Isles
C．the official name of the whole country
D．the largest country of all mentioned in the passage
4．Which of the following is the best title?
A．Students of English
B．Different Names of England
C．Different Languages Spoken in England
D．The Republic of Ireland
答案与解析
1．B 细节理解题。由第一段第一、二句可知最早讲英语的地方是England。
2．C 细节理解题。由第三段第二句可知，人们有时用England来代替Britain(称呼英国)。
3．C 细节理解题。由最后一段第一、二句可以得知，The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland是英国的官方名称。
4．B 主旨大意题。本文从头至尾都在讲述英国的名称，因此最佳标题应用Different Names of England。
B
English is a language spoken all around the world.There are more than 42 countries where the majority of the people speak English. Most native speakers of English are found in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand. In total, for more than 376 million people English is their mother tongue. An equal number of people learn English as a second language. These people will perhaps speak the language of their own country at home with their family, but the language of the government, schools, newspapers and TV is English. This situation is found in countries such as India, Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines.
However, the number of people who learn English as a foreign language is more than 750 million. Everywhere in the world children go to school to learn English. Most people learn English for five or six years at high school. In China students learn English at school as a foreign language, except for those in Hong Kong, where many people speak English as a first or second language.
In only fifty years, English has developed into the language most widely spoken and used in the world.English is the working language of most international organisations, international trade and tourism. Businessmen and tourists often come to China without being able to speak Chinese. Chinese businessmen, taxi drivers and students talk with them using English. English is also the language of global culture, such as popular music and the Internet. You can listen to English songs on the radio or use English to communicate with people around the world through the Internet. With so many people communicating in English every day, it will become more and more important to have a good knowledge of English.
5．How many people learn English as a second language?
A．More than 37,500,000. B．More than 376,000,000.
C．More than 750,000,000. D．More than 75,000,000.
6．Most international organisations use ________ as their working language.
A．English B．Italian
C．Latin D．Japanese
7．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A．There are more than 42 countries where English is spoken.
B．More than 750 million people speak English as their mother tongue.
C．English is the language of global culture.
D．English is the language widely used and spoken in the world.
8．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．English will be the only language to be used in the world
B．Englishmen might find it unnecessary for them to learn other languages
C．the number of learners of English will become smaller
D．Chinese will play a more important part than English
答案与解析
5．B 推理判断题。由第一段中的“...for more than 376 million people English is their mother tongue.An equal number of people learn English as a second language.”可推知，把英语作为第二语言学习的人数也是more than 376,000,000。
6．A 细节理解题。由第三段第二句可以得知，多数国际组织把英语作为工作语言。
7．D 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述英语在当今世界应用之广。
8．B 推理判断题。由短文最后一段可知，那些来中国的商人和游客可以不必会说汉语，只需要说英语即可。由此推出，随着世界各地学英语的人数的增加，英国人可能发觉自己没有必要学习其他语言了。
Ⅲ.阅读填句
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Handwriting can make or break the first impression. If your handwriting is difficult for others to read, you will sometimes feel embarrassed(尴尬的). __1__ It needs a lot of practice to improve your handwriting.
__2__Try each of them out on a piece of paper by signing your name. Find out which type of pen you can write best with. You may be amazed(吃惊的)at the change in your handwriting just by changing to another pen.
__3__ Do not just do what feels comfortable because that is just your old bad habit coming back into play. Try to hold the pen lightly and don't press(按，压)too hard.
Use your chosen pen to write words on some pieces of lined paper. Write until you have filled up all the lines. Be careful with each one that you write. __4__ Practise writing as much as possible. Remember, practice makes perfect. You may practise for weeks or months if you need to. __5__
As your handwriting shows signs of improvement, go ahead and keep on practising by writing more words.
A．Gather different types of pens.
B．Practise holding your pen in different ways.
C．However, a bad writing habit is hard to break.
D．Choose a type of pen with which you write best.
E．It won't help if you write a lot of careless words on the paper.

答案

Americans can travel a long distance and not leave the United States. They not need to learn a second language.

答案与解析
1．A 下文讲英语有了许多变化，应是在“随后的”300年。following随后的；接下来的。
2．C 此句含有so...that...结构，因名词前有many修饰，故用so，而不用such。
3．B 空后的名词places是复数，故排除A和C。在此特指英美两国，填both具有特指意义。若填two则为泛指，须在two前加the才具有特指意义。故B符合语境。
4．D 既然有那么大的变化，就很“容易”把英美人区别开来。
5．B tell...from...意为“把……和……区别开来”。
6．A 后面说“但在美国保留下来了”，则前面应说“在英国消失了”。disappear消失。
7．D 后面说在“faucet，spigot，tap”这三个词中，只有tap一词在英国还用得普遍，则前面应说在美国各地“仍”能听到。
8．C 谈论的是英美两国，前面说的是美国，but后说的应是“英国”。
9．C ones在此代替本句中的words。
10．A 本文讲的是英美语言的差异，因而同一单词在英美两国中所指的可能不同。
11．A 随着历史的前进，语言也向前发展，因此英语也增加了数千个新词。add意为“增加”；add up意为“把……加起来”，故选A。
12．B before从前；以前。符合语境。
13．C 由接下来的例子可知此处选C。
14．D 句意：radio这个词在世界各地被使用。
15．C have something to do with...意为“与……有关”。
16．A 主语是anything，根据主谓一致的原则，选A。
17．A 由句意可知选A。
18．A from从……符合语境。
19．D because后跟句子，引导原因状语从句；because of后跟名词或代词。
20．C 句意：将来有一天，大西洋两岸(指英美两国)可能讲同一种英语。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
As you are students of English，it's very possible that you'll be interested in England. That's where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So，now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let's see what each of these names means.
If you look at a map of Europe，you'll see a group of islands—one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles. The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland.
Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?
In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.
There's another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”， “Britain”， “Great Britain”， and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”．Now do you know what each of them means?
1．English was first spoken in ________.
A．Britain B．England
C．Great Britain D．Ireland
2．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A．Wales is the richest of the three.
B．Scotland is the largest of the three.
C．Sometimes England is used instead of Britain.
D．Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles.
3．The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is________.
A．part of Britain
B．part of British Isles
C．the official name of the whole country
D．the largest country of all mentioned in the passage
4．Which of the following is the best title?
A．Students of English
B．Different Names of England
C．Different Languages Spoken in England
D．The Republic of Ireland
答案与解析
1．B 细节理解题。由第一段第一、二句可知最早讲英语的地方是England。
2．C 细节理解题。由第三段第二句可知，人们有时用England来代替Britain(称呼英国)。
3．C 细节理解题。由最后一段第一、二句可以得知，The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland是英国的官方名称。
4．B 主旨大意题。本文从头至尾都在讲述英国的名称，因此最佳标题应用Different Names of England。
B
English is a language spoken all around the world.There are more than 42 countries where the majority of the people speak English. Most native speakers of English are found in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Ireland and New Zealand. In total, for more than 376 million people English is their mother tongue. An equal number of people learn English as a second language. These people will perhaps speak the language of their own country at home with their family, but the language of the government, schools, newspapers and TV is English. This situation is found in countries such as India, Pakistan, Nigeria and the Philippines.
However, the number of people who learn English as a foreign language is more than 750 million. Everywhere in the world children go to school to learn English. Most people learn English for five or six years at high school. In China students learn English at school as a foreign language, except for those in Hong Kong, where many people speak English as a first or second language.
In only fifty years, English has developed into the language most widely spoken and used in the world.English is the working language of most international organisations, international trade and tourism. Businessmen and tourists often come to China without being able to speak Chinese. Chinese businessmen, taxi drivers and students talk with them using English. English is also the language of global culture, such as popular music and the Internet. You can listen to English songs on the radio or use English to communicate with people around the world through the Internet. With so many people communicating in English every day, it will become more and more important to have a good knowledge of English.
5．How many people learn English as a second language?
A．More than 37,500,000. B．More than 376,000,000.
C．More than 750,000,000. D．More than 75,000,000.
6．Most international organisations use ________ as their working language.
A．English B．Italian
C．Latin D．Japanese
7．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A．There are more than 42 countries where English is spoken.
B．More than 750 million people speak English as their mother tongue.
C．English is the language of global culture.
D．English is the language widely used and spoken in the world.
8．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．English will be the only language to be used in the world
B．Englishmen might find it unnecessary for them to learn other languages
C．the number of learners of English will become smaller
D．Chinese will play a more important part than English
答案与解析
5．B 推理判断题。由第一段中的“...for more than 376 million people English is their mother tongue.An equal number of people learn English as a second language.”可推知，把英语作为第二语言学习的人数也是more than 376,000,000。
6．A 细节理解题。由第三段第二句可以得知，多数国际组织把英语作为工作语言。
7．D 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述英语在当今世界应用之广。
8．B 推理判断题。由短文最后一段可知，那些来中国的商人和游客可以不必会说汉语，只需要说英语即可。由此推出，随着世界各地学英语的人数的增加，英国人可能发觉自己没有必要学习其他语言了。
