The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated(估计)to have been out five million.Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language,mainly in the United States, Canada,Great Britain,Ireland,South Africa,Australia and New Zealand.In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas,there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.
In fact,it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够)working knowledge of English in addition to their languages.The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.
The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language.Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers,English is a language in which some of important works in science,technology,and other fields are being produced,and not always by native speakers.It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications,international conferences,and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations .It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries,especially former British colonies.Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government,commerce,industry,law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.

The average person learns most of the 30,000—40,000,words whose meanings he or she recognizes by hearing them or getting familiar with them in the context or simply absorbing them without conscious(意识到的)effort.The best way to build a good vocabulary therefore,is to read a great deal and to participate in a lot of good talks.There are relatively few words that we learn permanently(永久地)by purposefully referring to dictionaries or keeping word lists.However,even those extra few are of value,and no one will make a mistake by working on developing a larger vocabulary.Here are some suggestions of how to do it.
Read plenty of good books.When you come across a new word,or a new meaning of an old word,stop and see if you can understand it from its context.If you can’t,and if you can manage without interrupting the thought of the book too much,look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody and then repeat its meaning to yourself a couple of times.If you are really conscientious(认真的),write the word and its meaning in a personal vocabulary list——preferably using it in a sentence,or you can keep a special vocabulary notebook.Go over the list from time to time.Further, try to use the new word in writing or conversation a few times over the next several days.
Listen to good talks and be alter to new words you hear or to new meanings of words you already know.Then treat them just as you treat the new words you read.
Learn and be alert to the parts of words:prefixes,suffixes and roots.Knowing them enables you to make intelligent guesses about the meanings of words.
If you are studying a foreign language,be alert to words in that language which relate to words in English.English has inherited(继承)or borrowed much of its vocabulary of 500,000-600,000words from Latin,Greek,French,Spanish and German.
6.When you meet a new word in reading,what should you do?
A.Guess its meaning. B.Ask somebody.
C.Look it up in a dictionary. D.All of the above.
7.According to this passage,the best way to build a good vocabulary is .
A.to remember a lot
B.to read a great deal
C.to take part in a lot of good talks
D.both B and C
8.The phrase“be alert to”in the third paragraph may best be replaced by“ ” .
A.look at B.pay attention to C.write down D.learn by heart
9.In the fourth paragraph,the word“them”refers to .
A.the parts of words B.prefixes,
C.suffixes D.roots

My son and I were trying to sell the house we had repaired but in the barn there were bats and they would not leave.The barn was their home.They told us so in their own way.They hung there in the barn and seemed determined to stay for the season.“Don’t worry about it,Dad.”Patrick said.“They keep down the mosquitoes.”
Unfortunately they also kept the buyers away.Everyone we asked to look at the house refused to buy it because of the bats.“Bats are popular,” Patrick comforted me.“They’re ecological(生态学的).” “Isn’t there a machine you can buy that produces high-frequency sounds to keep bats away ” “I don’t know,” said Patrick. “But I like bats, and whoever buys this house will probably like them too.” “Probably ” I hated that word. “How many bats are there, anyway ” “I counted about 90 last night,” said Patrick. “They were dropping out from under the edge of the roof.” “You mean there are more---outside ” “They’re everywhere, Dad. But look at it this way. When the cold weather comes, they’ll be off to Mexico. Maybe in the spring we can keep them out. Don’t worry about it,” he said for the hundredth time, “It’s not a problem.”
The bat expert I called was even more active than Patrick, “I think you’ve got a large number there,” he said in wonder, “I’ve been trying to attract bats to our house for 25 years. A single bat eats up his weight in mosquitoes and black flies three times every night. You’re a very lucky man.” I offered to share my luck with him. He could take them away. “Bats have a remarkable homing instinct(本能), ” he said , “They’d fly straight back even if I transported them 100 miles.Once they have settled,you can’t stop them from coming back.” I was silent.
Finally we managed to rent the house to a young family,who were also interested in buying it.“What about the bats?”I said to Patrick.
“Oh,they love the bats,”he said,“No mosquitoes.No black flies.It’s one of the things that attracted them.”“Do you think they will really buy the house?”“Probably.” “Probably?Well,if they do,I suppose I’ll have to admit that I was wrong.” “You mean you’re going to eat your words?” “Yes,I am.”

A.Bats were living in the bam and wouldn’t away.
B.The author and his son couldn’t sleep well because of the bats.
C.The author and his son might be able to stay for the season.
D.The house was still badly in need of repair.
7.What did Patrick suggest the author should do to stop the bats living in the barn?
A.He should buy a high-frequency machine.
B.He should move them one hundred miles away.
C.He should reduce the number of mosquitoes.
D.He should close the barn in the spring.
8.Why did the author fall silent when he talked with the bat specialist?
A.He felt sure about the situation.
B.He found out that it would be impossible to remove the bats.
C.He learned that ha would be able to share his luck with the expert.

When you are in another country,it is important to know the language,but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally(非语言地),before saying anything by making gestures.According to a pioneer in nonverbal communication,only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal.When people don’t know the language,the most common way to communicate is through gestures.However,many gestures have different meanings,or no meaning at all,in different parts of the world.
In the United states,for example,nodding your head up and down means “yes”.In some parts of Greece and Turkey,however,this motion can mean “no”.In Southeast Asia,nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I’ve heard you”.
In ancient Rome,when the emperor wanted to spare someone’s life,he would put his thumb up.Today in the United States,when someone puts his/her thumb up,it means “Everything is all right”.However,in Sardinia and Greece,the gesture is insulting and should not be used there.
In the United States,raising your clasped hands above your head means “I’m the champion” or “I’m the winner”.It is the sign prizefighters make when they win a fight.When a leading Russian statesman(政治家)made this gesture after a White House meeting,Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner.In Russia,however,it is a sign of friendship.
In the United States,holding your hand up with the thumb and index finger in a circle and the other three fingers spread out means “Everything is O.K.”and is frequently used by astronauts and politicians.In France and Belgium,it can mean “You’re worth nothing.”
There are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country,such as the distance to maintain between speakers.Americans usually feel comfortable when speaking with someone if the distance between them is about eighteen inches to arm’s length.Anything closer makes them feel uncomfortable.
When talking to Americans,it is also important to make eye contact.If you look down when talking to an American,he/she may feel that you are embarrassed,afraid,or trying to hide something.
In addition to knowing how to communicate nonverbally in a country,it is important to know what you and he cannot discuss.In the United States,there are certain topics to avoid when you first meet someone.For example,don’t ask people their age,weight,religion,marital status(婚姻状况),how much money they earn,or how much something costs.You can talk about work,the weather,traffic problems,sports,food,news of the day,where one lives,consumers subjects(computers,car repairs,and so forth),and travel or vacation plans.
These few examples illustrate that you actions can speak louder than your words. In particular culture contest, what you say and what don’t say are equally important.
1.Which of the following is true?
A.People all over the world only communicate verbally.
B.Most of our gestures have no meaning at all.
C.Some people think that 65 to 70 percent of our communications is nonverbal.
D.Gestures are the most common way to communicate.
2.As we can see from the passage there are kinds of nonverbal communication signals.
A.four B.five C.six D.seven
3.Please paraphrase the clause“…your actions can speak louder than your words.”
A.Your deeds are better than your words.
B.What you do is better than what you say.
C.You try to show your best manners.
D.You are better understood by your gestures than through your words.
4.The main idea of the passage is that when you are in another country, .
A.it is unimportant to know the language
B.it is important to know what you can talk about to a foreigner
C.to know how to communicate nonverbally important as to know the language
D.to communicate through gestures is more important than to know the language

Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo.Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel,the world,first igloo hotel.Built in a small town in Lapland,it has been attracting lots of visitors,but soon the full will be over.
In two weeks’ time Bergqvist’s ice creation(作品)will be nothing more than a pool of water.“We don’t see it as a big problem,” he says.“We just look forward to replacing it.”
Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the Present one,which measures roughly 200 square meters.Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base;when the snow froze,the base was removed.“The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,”he says.
After their stay,all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success.With no windows,nowhere to hang clothes and temperature below 00C,it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing hotel break.“It’s great fun,”Bergqvist explains,“as well as a good start in survival training.”
The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt:it is now attracting tourists from all over the world.At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms.“You can get a lot of people in,”explains Bergqvist.“The beds are three meters wide by two meters long,and can fit at least four at one time.”

A.hotel guests will be frightened at thought of the hard test

D.a bigger igloo will replace the present one
7.According to the text,the first thing to do in building an igloo is .

Here nature created a lot of surprising,almost like the sights on the moon,everchanging as the frequent wind moves the sand about,showing the most unusual colors.One of the most astonishing and variable parts of Death Valley is the Devil’s Golf Course,where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams.Sand sculptures(沙雕)stand on a frightening ground,as evening shadows move and lengthen.

My son and I were trying to sell the house we had repaired but in the barn there were bats and they would not leave.The barn was their home.They told us so in their own way.They hung there in the barn and seemed determined to stay for the season.“Don’t worry about it,Dad.”Patrick said.“They keep down the mosquitoes.”
Unfortunately they also kept the buyers away.Everyone we asked to look at the house refused to buy it because of the bats.“Bats are popular,” Patrick comforted me.“They’re ecological(生态学的).” “Isn’t there a machine you can buy that produces high-frequency sounds to keep bats away ” “I don’t know,” said Patrick. “But I like bats, and whoever buys this house will probably like them too.” “Probably ” I hated that word. “How many bats are there, anyway ” “I counted about 90 last night,” said Patrick. “They were dropping out from under the edge of the roof.” “You mean there are more---outside ” “They’re everywhere, Dad. But look at it this way. When the cold weather comes, they’ll be off to Mexico. Maybe in the spring we can keep them out. Don’t worry about it,” he said for the hundredth time, “It’s not a problem.”
The bat expert I called was even more active than Patrick, “I think you’ve got a large number there,” he said in wonder, “I’ve been trying to attract bats to our house for 25 years. A single bat eats up his weight in mosquitoes and black flies three times every night. You’re a very lucky man.” I offered to share my luck with him. He could take them away. “Bats have a remarkable homing instinct(本能), ” he said , “They’d fly straight back even if I transported them 100 miles.Once they have settled,you can’t stop them from coming back.” I was silent.
Finally we managed to rent the house to a young family,who were also interested in buying it.“What about the bats?”I said to Patrick.
“Oh,they love the bats,”he said,“No mosquitoes.No black flies.It’s one of the things that attracted them.”“Do you think they will really buy the house?”“Probably.” “Probably?Well,if they do,I suppose I’ll have to admit that I was wrong.” “You mean you’re going to eat your words?” “Yes,I am.”
6.What was the problem the author had with his house?
A.Bats were living in the bam and wouldn’t away.
B.The author and his son couldn’t sleep well because of the bats.
C.The author and his son might be able to stay for the season.
D.The house was still badly in need of repair.
7.What did Patrick suggest the author should do to stop the bats living in the barn?
A.He should buy a high-frequency machine.
B.He should move them one hundred miles away.
C.He should reduce the number of mosquitoes.
D.He should close the barn in the spring.
8.Why did the author fall silent when he talked with the bat specialist?
A.He felt sure about the situation.
B.He found out that it would be impossible to remove the bats.
C.He learned that ha would be able to share his luck with the expert.
D.He liked the advice given by the expert.
9.What happened regarding the house in the end?
A.Some people agreed to rent the house.
B.The author failed to find anybody who wanted to live in the house.
C.The bat expert made the decision to buy the house,
D.The bats left the house for Mexico in the spring.

B.He might be mistaken about being unable to sell the house.
C.He realized he might be wrong about the bat’s actions.
D.He was happy about selling the house.
