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
21.English was first spoken in 　　　.
A.Britain B.England
C.Great Britain D.Ireland
22.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.
23.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
24.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
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,Republic of 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 organizations,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.
25.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.

C.English is the language of global culture.
D.English is the language widely used and spoken in the world.
28.It can be inferred from the passage that 　　　.
A.English will be the only language to be used in the world

C
The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful,or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say.A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness,uneasiness,or worry.Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable;therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation.Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people,just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore,when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops,what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures,silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways,particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.For example,Russian,French,and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion.However,Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her.In still another use,persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect,particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
29.What does the author say about silence in conversations
A.It implies anger.
B.It promotes friendship.
C.It is culture-specific.
D.It is content-based.
30.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought
A.The Chinese. B.The French.
C.The Mexicans. D.The Russians.
31.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence
A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B.Break it while treating patients.
C.Evaluate its harm to patients.
D.Make use of its healing effects.
32.What may be the best title for the text
A.Sound and Silence
B.What It Means to Be Silent
C.Silence to Native Americans
D.Speech Is Silver;Silence Is Gold

三、完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries.And in the 　38　 300 years,there were 　39　 many changes in 　40　 places that now people can　41　 tell an English person 　42　 an American in the way he or she speaks.
Many old words 　43　 in England but were kept in America.For example,300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they called either a “faucet”,a “spigot”,or a “tap”.All these words are 　44　 heard in different parts of America,but only “tap” is still common in 　45　.Americans often made up new words or changed old 　46　.“Corn” is one kind of plant in America and 　47　 in England.

But now American and British English may be growing close together.One 　54　 is the large amount of American speech that British people hear daily in movies,on television,or 　55　 travellers.　56　 this,Americans seem to be influencing the British more or less.So some day,English may even be 　57　 on both sides of the Atlantic.

9.答案:A
10.答案:A
11.答案:B
12.答案:A
13.答案:B
14.答案:B
15.答案:C
16.答案:C
17.答案:B
18.答案:B
19.答案:C
20.答案:A
21.答案:B
解析: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。
22.答案:C
解析: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)。
23.答案:C
解析: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。
24.答案:B
解析: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。
25.答案:B
解析: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。
26.答案:A
解析:细节理解题。由第三段第二句可以得知,大多数国际组织把英语作为工作语言。
27.答案:D
解析:主旨大意题。本文主要讲述英语在当今世界被广泛应用。
28.答案:B
解析: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。由此推断出,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。
29.答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段第一句以及最后两句内容可推断出,在谈话过程中的沉默通常与文化密切相关,具有文化特异性。
30.答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,中国人与很多美国人一样,认为沉默是交流过程中的基本构成部分,谈话中出现沉默通常暗示听者需要仔细考虑。
31.答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句内容可知,作者建议护士们充分利用沉默的治愈价值来帮助护理病人 。
32.答案:B
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知,文章主要说明沉默具有文化特异性,在不同的文化中,沉默表达的含义和作用各不相同。因此B项最具概括性。
答案:33.C　34.E　35.D　36.A　37.G
38.答案:A
解析:第一句提到“英国人在16和17世纪把英语带到了北美”,因此此处用in the following 300 years表示“在接下来的300年里”。
39.答案:C
解析:so ...that ...引导结果状语从句,且由many可知应用so。
40.答案:B
解析:上文只提到两个地点Great Britain和North America,又因此处表示肯定的含义,故应用both。
41.答案:D
解析:由于语言发生了很大变化,人们可以很“容易地”通过说话方式把英国人和美国人区分开。
42.答案:B
解析:由本句前面的tell可知此处用from,tell ...from ...意为“把……和……区分开”。
43.答案:A
解析:由“but were kept in America”可知本题应该用disappeared与were kept相对应。
44.答案:D
解析:此句是对“but were kept in America”的进一步说明。
45.答案:C
解析:由but前的“in different parts of America”可知此处应该选择England。
46.答案:C
解析:由前面的“new words”可知此处应该用old words。用ones代替words。
47.答案:A
解析:由上文的“one kind of plant”可知,此处应指另外一种植物,即用another。
48.答案:B
解析:在近三个世纪以来,要想表达以前不知道的事物,就必须增加词汇,因此应用has added。
49.答案:C
解析:增加的词汇用来表示以前(before)所不知道的事物。anywhere“任何地方”;in some countries“在一些国家”;for centuries“数个世纪”。这三者均与句意不符。
50.答案:C
解析:从后面的两句话可知,此处是指用“不同的”词汇指代同一物体。
51.答案:D
解析:既然“radio”是一个词汇,它应该是被世界各地的人们所使用(used)。而produce意为“生产”;make意为“制作”;develop意为“发展”。
52.答案:C
解析:have something to do with是固定结构,意为“与……有关系”。其他选项不符合句意。
53.答案:A
解析:本句的主语是前面的anything,由此排除B项和C项;又因为本句的时态为一般现在时,可排除D项。
54.答案:A
解析:此处thing意为“事实,情况”,来表明美国英语和英国英语越来越接近。而story意为“故事”;belief意为“信仰,信念”;expression 意为“表达”。
55.答案:A
解析:与前面的in movies,on television并列,应用from travellers,表示“游客所讲的语言”。
56.答案:D
解析:从后半句可以看出,正是由于上句话中所提到的原因才得出结论:美国人似乎对英国人产生了影响。because表示原因时是连词,其后接句子,而because of是介词,后接单词或词组,符合句意。
57.答案:C
解析:上文中谈到美国人对英国人产生了影响,所以作者最后说“将来有一天大西洋两岸的英语可能会一样”,而不是“不同的”“更不同”或“更有用的”。
答案:58.the　59.received　60.interested　61.to find
62.a　63.Finally　64.variety　65.delivered　66.saying　67.it
答案:第一句:去掉been;在communicate后加with
第二句:write→wrote;informations→information
第三句:our→their;communicating→communicate
第四句:在instead后加of
第五句:第一个that→it;第二个and→but
第六句:closely→close

Dear Peter,
I’m glad to receive your letter asking for my advice on how to learn Chinese well.
Here are a few suggestions.First,it is important to take a Chinese course,as you’ll be able to learn from the teacher and practise with your fellow students.Then,it also helps to watch TV and read books,newspapers and magazines in Chinese whenever possible.
Besides,it should be a good idea to learn and sing Chinese songs,because by doing so you’ll learn and remember Chinese characters more easily.You can also make more Chinese friends.They will tell you a lot about China and help you learn Chinese.
Try and write to me in Chinese next time.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
