第1题：
Interviewer-------- Why is English so important?
David------- Well, English is so important primarily because so many people speak it and use it, so it has now become the lingua franca in the world in a way that we’ve never seen before. We’ve never had a world language of this kind before. So people are learning it not just to be able tocommunicate with native speakers, but also with speakers of other language around world.
Interviewer-------And why has it become that dominant language?
David------I think the reason for that is actually very complicated, although in the twentieth century, we can just see that it’s the rise of the US military and consumer power. I mean the technology, all the big developments in technology largely came from the US. So all of these developments actually were produced within the English language, and people had to learn English in order to understand them, or to benefit from them. The Internet is only one example of that kind. Once a language has got into that position of dominance, it’s actually very different to shift it. So we could be seeing the emergence of other big languages in the world becoming more important than they have been, like Spanish, but it’s unlikely that they’re going to shift the English from its position of dominance.
36. English is important, according to David, __________________________. A). because it has become a world language B). because so many people speak and use it C). because a lot of people are learning it D). because it is the lingua franca
37. English has become the dominant language in the world________________________. A). because it has always been the way B). for a reason that is very complicated C). only in the 20th century D). for no reasons
38. English became the dominant language in the 20th century_________________________. A). in the USA
B). because of the increase in American consumer power
C). because developments in technology came mainly from USA. D). all over the world.
39. People had to learn English______________________.
A). because developments in technology were made by English speakers B). because they needed to understand the new developments in technology C). to use the Internet
D). to speak with native Americans
40. David thinks that__________________________.
A). it will be easy for another language to become dominant B). English will not always be the dominant language
C). it will not be easy for another language to become dominant D). English will be the dominant language

第3题：
C
Australia has a lot of lovely animals. You cannot find them anywhere else in the world. The most famous ones are kangaroos（袋鼠）and koalas（树袋熊）.
The kangaroo is the symbol of Australia. They have large eyes and ears. They don’t walk, they jump. They use their strong back legs. They can jump at 74 kilometres per hour. They can go over nine metres in one jump.Kangaroo mothers have pouches to carry their babies. The babies stay inside to get milk and keep warm.
Kangaroos are everywhere in Australia. They are on TV, in books and in the shops. But do you know that millions of kangaroos are killed every year ? There are too many of them.There are about 20 to 25 million kangaroos in Australia. That’s more than the number of people in the country.Some kangaroos go hungry because there is not enough food to eat. They break into farms for food. Farmers are very angry with them.
The koala is another famous Australian animal. They look like bears, and have small eyes and big noses. They eat leaves from gum trees（桉树）.Koalas have a special smell. They use it to mark their home—“ This is my place, you can’t come in !” Like kangaroos, a koala baby lives in its mother’s pouch, too.
66. If we want to see kangaroos and koalas in natural forests, we can go to ________ .
A. China B. France C. Australia

第4题：
资料：2014 has been a landmark year for Alibaba. Just last week, the Chinese e-commerce juggernaut set a world-record selling US$9.3 Billion worth of goods in 24 hours on Singles Day. A few months back, Alibaba claimed the title of the world's biggest IPO, raising US$25 Billion on the NYSE. Things will only get bigger for Alibaba.
On the back of the historic signing of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement yesterday, Alibaba announced in Melbourne their continued commitment to bringing Australian products, brands and businesses closer to China's online consumers via it's Alipay payment platform and Taobao Marketplace.
Alipay is the largest online payment service provider in China. With more than 800 million Chinese accounts, Alipay is already the biggest mobile payment processor in the world. It clears 80 million transactions per day, including 45 million transactions through it's Alipay Wallet mobile app and processed US$780 billion worth of transactions in the year ended June 30. Alipay is one of six financial services entities that will fall under the umbrella of Ant Financial Serviced Group, a rebranding of Alipay Financial Services. There are plans to take this money making machine public too.
Alipay Australia has been established as a local entity that will work with its joint venture partner, pay bang to help Australian businesses and merchants access Alipay's cross-border payment solutions. Alipay has also been working with Australia Post to sell, distribute and promote the Alipay Purchase Card across 4,400 retail outlets for Australian shoppers to use on the Tmall.com and Taobao Marketplace platforms.
Alipay's extension into Australia, follows its move into the U.S with the launch of its ePay payment program, which handles everything from payment processing and currency translation for U.S. retailers.
It can be inferred from the article thatA.Alibaba would open chain stores after entering into Australia.
B.Alibaba has established cooperation with Australia Post.
C.Alibaba’s world-record of selling US$9.3 Billion worth of goods in 24 hours on Singles Day has helped its initial public offering.
D.After entering into Australia, Alibaba will try to expand to the U.S.答案：B解析：本题考查的是推理判断。

【主题句】第1自然段Just last week, the Chinese e-commerce juggernaut set a world-record selling US$9.3 Billion worth of goods in 24 hours on Singles Day. A few months back, Alibaba claimed the title of the world’s biggest IPO, raising US$25 Billion on the NYSE. 就在上周，这家中国电子商务巨头在光棍节的24小时内创造了价值93亿美元的世界纪录。几个月前，阿里巴巴成为了世界上最大的IPO，在纽交所筹集了250亿美元。
倒数第2自然段 Alipay has also been working with Australia Post to sell, distribute and promote the Alipay Purchase Card across 4,400 retail outlets for Australian shoppers to use on the Tmall.com and Taobao Marketplace platforms. 支付宝也一直在与澳大利亚邮政合作，在4400个零售点销售、分销和推广支付宝的购物卡，供澳大利亚购物者在天猫网和淘宝平台上使用。
最后一个自然段 Alipay’s extension into Australia, follows its move into the U.S with the launch of its ePay payment program, which handles everything from payment processing and currency translation for U.S. retailers. 支付宝业务扩展到澳大利亚，在此之前，支付宝在美国推出了ePay付款程序，负责处理美国零售商的付款处理和货币转换。
【解析】题干意为“从文章中可以推断出什么？” 选项A意为“阿里巴巴进入澳大利亚后将开设连锁店”；选项B意为“阿里巴巴与澳大利亚邮政建立了合作关系”；选项C意为“阿里巴巴在光棍节当天24小时销售价值93亿美元商品的世界纪录，帮助其首次公开招股”；选项D意为进入澳大利亚后，阿里巴巴将尝试扩大到美国“”。根据主题句可知，选项A文章未提及，选项C、D事件先后顺序错误，不符合题意。故选项B正确。 -
