The English language started about 1,500 years ago in England. Three groups of people came to the country. They were the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. These three groups brought their languages with them to England. After some time, the three languages became one new language—English. The name“ English ” comes from the Angles. They lived in most of England. “England” means “ Angle Land” or “ Country of the Angles”.
The language that we speak today—Modern English, is not the same as the English that people used many years ago, including Old English ( before 1150 ) and Middle English ( up till 1500 ). That language – Old English – sounds different, and it has some different rules of grammar. There were only a few thousand words in Old English. But Modern English does come from Old English, and it is still like it in many important ways.
56. How many languages did Old English come from
A. One B. Two C. Three D. Four
57. Which language did the name “ English” come from
A. Modern English B. The Angles.
C. The Jutes. D. The Saxons.

The Chinese were the real inventor of printing. Centuries ago they carved messages on stone and then sprinkled (撒) sooty(粉末状的) dust over the stone carving. When they put a small piece of paper over the stone and rubbed the paper, the sooty lines were reproduced on it. Some of these first printed papers have been preserved; the oldest ones known to exist are more than one thousand years old.
Printing with carved stone blocks was the only kind of printing known for centuries. Then, about eight hundred years ago, a Chinese printer, Bi Sheng, had a clever idea. Instead of carving a whole message on a single big block of wood or stone, he formed separate Chinese words or characters out of bits of clay(粘土). By fitting the clay pieces together in rows in a box, he could print just as before. But when he finished, he could keep all the separate pieces of clay and use them again.
Bi Sheng’s movable type was a great step forward, but his method was not generally adopted. Movable type did not come into use in Europe until it was invented there centuries later. The Europeans had been totally ignorant(无知的) of the printing traditions of the Chinese.

800 years. B. more than 1000 years
C. more than 2000 years D. 500 years

large tablets for writing B. small statues
C. individual words of characters D. messages
61. These pieces of clay were _____.
easily lost B. less used
C. reusable D. thrown away after use
62. Europeans adopted printing after they _____.
A. realized stone carving was not good enough
B. had learned about it from the Chinese
C. had copied Chinese printing
D. had invented it themselves
C

书面表达：略
部分答案解析：
21. D。university读音是以辅音音素开头，所以用a；art在这里指“美术，艺术”，是泛指，所以前面不加the。
22. B。prevent常用prevent sb (from) doing sth结构，表示“防止；预防”；avoid意为“避免”，后面跟名词或动词-ing形式作宾语；protect意为“保护”；allow意为“允许”。根据句意，“虽然Tyron很生气，但是他头脑很冷静”，就不会做不恰当的事情，也不会“冲进领导的办公室”，所以用avoid最合适。
23. B。根据句意，“在这张地图上，这颗红星____中国的首都。”红星与首都在此只能是代表的关系，所以不能用A（告诉）、C（代替）或者D（意味着），所以选B，represent意为“代表”。
24. D。本句选用过去进行时，指那时动作正在发生。
25. C。usually意为“通常”；curiously意为“好奇地；奇怪地”；similarly意为“类似地”；particularly意为“独特地；显著地”。根据句意，“通过锻炼来强健身体”与“通过学习来提高智力”之间具有一种类比的关系，所以用similarly最合适。
26. B。in a word意为“总之；一句话；总而言之”；in general意为“大体上；一般地”；in all意为“总共”；in total意为“总共”。通过句意可以看出，“大多数青少年喜欢听摇滚乐”是一种一般的普通的情况，所以选B。
27. A。significant意为“有意义的；重大的；重要的”；major意为“主要的；重要的；大的”；considerate意为“考虑周到的”；greater意为“更大的”。根据句意，这里指“一个比较重大的改变”，用more来修饰，不能用major，因为major本身已经具有“比较”的含义；greater只能用much来修饰；considerate不合题意，所以选significant。
28. B。what if这里指“如果……将会怎样”，表示对一种假设的提问；if only指“要是……就好了”；as if意为“好像”；even if意为“即使”。根据句意，这里应选A。
29. D。根据后半句说，“工厂确认足以满足人们的需要”，那么前提应该是“生产各种各样的钢琴”应该已经成为事实，所以用现在完成时，动词-ing形式作状语。
30. B。encourage意为“鼓励”；express意为“表达”；explain意为“解释”；exchange意为“交流”。句意为：学会很好地表达自己，是现代教育的一个很重要的内容。
31. C。attitude to / towards指“对……的态度”；appearance指“出现”；approach指“方法；途径”，后常接to；altitude指“海拔；高度”。根据句意，这里指一种“教学方法”，所以用approach。注：Big6 Model 的全称是Big6 Model of Information Problem-Solving，指Big6信息问题解决模式，属于“问题解决”式的研究学习。
32. C。keep in touch with意为“保持联络”；within reach of意为“离得很近；在范围内”；out of touch with意为“失去联系；不再了解情况”；out of reach of意为“够不着”。
句中指曾祖父对现代潮流不闻不问，所以选C。
33. A。交际用语。由情景可知，B将一本书借给了A，A觉得这本书很有趣，故B说“我很高兴你喜欢”，A接着说：“谢谢你借给了我这么长的时间”。That’s all right回答感谢和道歉；Don’t mention it(别人道谢时回答)不客气；I hope you like it指期望对方喜欢，而事实是对方的确很喜欢，所以选A。
34. A。must have done表示对过去情况有把握的推测。
35. C。常用sb / sth be likely to do或it’s likely +从句，表示“可能”；certain表示“确定的”；probable后常跟that从句表示“很有可能”；be sure to do sth指“一定；务必去做某事”。
