题目
The most traditional definition of a human community was "a group of people larger than a family that interact." A community may include people who have at least one common point of interest. In the past, community members lived relatively close to one another in one geographical location: in the same village, town, or city. Nowadays, however, the word community can mean a national, an international, or even an online group of interacting individuals. Therefore, a "new" definition of community might be "a group of people that recognize that they have something in common."

第一篇
Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population.Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago.Because more people live longer,there are more people around at any given time.In fact,it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birth rates,that has led to the population explosion.
Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load.In all societies,people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them.In hunting and gathering cultures,old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die.In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved,whereas if the parents survived they could have another child.In most contemporary societies,people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work;we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age.Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement,somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people;unless they have wealth or private or government insurance,they must often"go on welfare"if they have a serious illness.
When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves,they create grave problems for their families.In the past and in some traditional cultures,they would be cared for at home until they died.Today,with most members of a household working or in school,there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person.To meet this need,a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups.While a few of these institutions are good,most of them are simply "dumping grounds"for the dying in which" care" is given by poorly paid,overworked,and underskilled personnel.According to the passage,which of the following statements about retired people in the United States is true?
A:Many of them have a very hard life.
B:They cannot live a decent life without enough bank savings.
C:They rely mainly on their children for financial support.
D:Most of them live with their children and therefore are well looked after.答案：A解析：第一段最后一句说：" In fact , it is a decrease in death rates , not an increase in birth rates , that has led to the population explosion.（实际上，导致人口爆炸的是死亡率的降低而不是出生率的增长。）”因此，选项C是正确答案。
第二段第四句：" In times of famine , infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved,whereas if the parents survived they could have another child.（在饥荒年代，人们可以忍受婴儿死亡，因为如果他们的父母饿死了，他们也无法生存，而如果父母生存下来，他们可以重新生儿育女。）”因此，选项B是正确答案。
从第二段倒数第二句“In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty.”可以看出，在美国许多退休人员的生活是很艰难的。因此，选项A是正确答案。
第三段第三句：" Today , with most members of a household working or in school , there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person.（现在，由于大多数的家庭成员都在工作或上学，所以常常没有人在家照顾生病或身体虚弱的人。）”因此，选项D 是正确答案。
文章最后一句："...most of them are simply 'dumping grounds' for the dying in which 'care' is given by poorly paid , overworked , and under-skilled personnel.（大多数机构只不过是垂死的人的“垃圾场”，所谓的“照顾”都是由收入低、工作量大、技术水平低下的人员提供的。）”作者如此措辞显然是对大多数机构的强烈批评。因此，选项D是正确答案。 -

In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child．相关句意为 “在以狩猎和采集为生的时代，不能跟上其他人的老人会被甩在后面，任他死去。在饥荒时，人们会放任婴儿死亡，因为如果他们的父母饿死了，他们也无法生存，而如果父母生存下来可重新生儿育女”。因此，B项“遇到饥荒时，人们会放任婴儿死亡”是正确的答案。

English and English Community
1. There is no denying that English is a useful language.The people who speak English today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese. Originally they were small tribes of people from northern Europe who settled in England.Their languages became more and more similar to each other. Finally,the language had enough uni-formity to be used by all speakers in England.The people were united into a speech community through their shared language.
2. A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities.The people who make up the community share a common language .Often they live side by side,as they do in a neighborhood, a village,or a city.More often they form a whole country.National boundaries,however,are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community.A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where they happen to live.
3. We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community.For convenience,we may classify the speakers into two groups:one in which the speakers use English as their native language,the other in which the speakers learn English as a second language for the purpose of education,commerce,and so on.
4. English serves as an alternative language in several areas of public activity for many nations of the world which employ it as an international second language .English has been adopted as the language of air traffic,commerce,as well as international diplomacy .Moreover,English is the language of the majority of published materials in the world so that education has come to rely heavily on an understanding of English.
5. Learning a second language extends one's vision and expands the mind.The history and litera- ture of a second language record the real and fictional lives of people and their culture;a knowl- edge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they feel .Learning English as a sec- ond language provides another means of communication through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our heritage.Paragraph 3______
A: The Wide Use of English
B: Historical Account of English and Its Community
C: The Advantages of Learning a Second Language
D: The Composition of the English Community
E: The Threat That English Poses to Other Languages
F: The Definition of a Speech Community答案：D解析：该段通过与其他群体相比较来解释什么是语言群体，该段最后一句话是主题句，也是解答该题的关键，它可以被视为语言群体的定义。选项F符合题意，故选F
该段把讲英语的语言群体分为两类，一类是把英语当作母语；一类是把英语视为第二语言。选项D中的关键词composition是“构成”的意思，符合题意，故选D。
该段讲的是英语作为第二语言在世界上许多国家的各个领域都被广泛应用，如航空、商务、外交、教育等。选项A符合题意，故选A。
该段主要谈的是学习第二语言的益处，最后一句话更是具体到学习英语的益处。选项C符合题意，故选C。
答案来自第一段的最后一句，本题只是把该句倒装了。该句说明人们是通过他们所拥有的共同语言组成一个语言群体。题干以only开头，这要求主句谓语部分使用倒装句，选项中只有B项符合题意，故选B。
答案来自第二段第四句话，该句说明国界与语言群体的界限并不总是一致的。选项中涉及语言群体的只有A和B项，上题已经选择B项，所以只有A合适，A项中的 that用来代替the+有关前述名词。故选A。
本题的答案可以在第三段第二句中找到。该句表明为了方便起见，我们将说英语者分为两类。原句中的for convenience等于选项D , for the sake of simplicity。故选D。
本题较简单，只要找到第四段最后一句话就能正确回答该题。该句表明教育越来越依赖对英语的理解，反过来就是说对英语的理解在教育中起到重要作用。选项E符合题意，故选E。 -

Prolonging Human Life
Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population.Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago.Because more people live longer,there are more people around at any given time.In fact,it is a decrease in death rates,not an increase in birthrates,that has led to the population explosion.
Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load.In all societies,people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them.In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die.In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved,whereas if the parents survived they could have another child.In most contemporary societies,people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not.We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work;we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age.Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement,somebody else must support them.In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty.Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people;unless they have wealth or private or government insurance,they must often"go on welfare"if they have a serious illness.
When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves,they create grave problems for their families.In the past and in some traditional cultures,they would be cared for at home until they died.Today,with most members of a household working or in school,there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person.To meet this need,a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built.These are often profit-making organizations,although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups.While a few of these institutions are good,most of them are simply"dumping grounds"for the dying in which"care"is given by poorly paid,overworked,and underskilled personnel.The writer believes that the population explosion results from______.
A:an increase in birthrates
B:the industrial development
C:a decrease in death rates
D:cultural advances答案：C解析：由文章第一段最后一句可知，导致人口爆炸的原因事实上是死亡率的减低，而不是出生率的增高，故选C。
由文章第二段第四句可知，在狩猎与采集时代，遇到饥荒时，幼儿的死亡是可以接受的，因为如果其父母被饿死，幼儿也无法存活下去，B选项符合文意。
由文章第二段倒数第二句可知，在美国，很多退休后的人靠社会救济金生活，而救济金的数额非常小，以至于他们的生活穷困潦倒。A项的含义为他们大部分人过着艰难的生活，符合文意。
此句话之前的内容为：如今，大部分的家庭成员都去工作或上学，经常会发生无人在家照看生病体弱者的情况。接着本句话指出：为了满足这种需求……由此可知，这种需求指对照顾生病体弱者的需求，故选D。
由文章最后一段的最后一句可知，这些护理机构中只有极少数是不错的，绝大多数就如同接收濒临死亡者的“垃圾场”一样，所提供的“照顾”也都是由收人低、过度劳累及技术水平低下的人完成的，故本题选D。 -

问答题Read the passage carefully and answer Questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. In the United States today, many people want a college education. However, almost half of the people who go to college now do not attend a four-year college. Instead, they go to a community college. The community college offers a two-year course of study in a wide range of subjects. It prepares some young people to go on to a four-year college. It trains others for jobs in business, government, or industry. Some people choose a community college because of cost. The tuition for a semester at a community college can be less than half the cost of a semester at a four-year college. Also, since these colleges are located in large communities, their students can save money by living at home. Community colleges are also useful for people who have jobs and who do not have time for a traditional four-year college. Some of these people take night courses at community colleges. Others complete long-distance courses, in which they stay at home and use video-tapes, audiotapes, and the Internet. Community colleges also serve high school graduates who only achieved low grades. Many of these students would not be admitted to a four-year college. If they do well, they may go on to a four-year college. Today, the country’s 1,500 community colleges have more than 10 million students. These colleges are making it possible for more and more people to continue their education. Questions: 1．What is the passage mainly about? 2．What does theyin paragraph 1 refer to? 3．In which fields does a community college provide job training? 4．Why do people often prefer to go to a community college? 5．What does the word tuitionin paragraph 3 mean?正确答案：
1.(the advantages of)community college 本文主要介绍了与普通高校相比,社区学院的各项优点,如:开设课程广泛、学费低以及适合各类学生进修等。
2.half of the people who go to college now ”instead”表意思转折,前后共享一个主语。
3.business, government, or industry 第二段最后一句提到社区学院在商务,政府和工业领域为学生提供职能培训。
4.low cost 第三段提到许多人出于费用考虑选择社区学院,因为它的学费低于四年制高校的一半,并且因为离家近很多学生可以直接住在家里从而节省住宿费。这是community college区别于其他院校最大的地方。
5.cost 本段提到许多人出于cost考虑选择社区学院,并且由第二句话可推断tuition与cost是近义词。tuition学费。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题Modern means of transportation, telecommunication and mass media have shortened the geographical distance of the world. The international community appears to be no more than a global village, in which people of different nations engage themselves in cultural exchange, while seeking common development in harmonious and respectful relationship. I think different cultures should learn from each other’s strengths to offset their own weaknesses. However, we also have to understand that cultural exchange is by no means a process of losing one’s own culture to a foreign one, but a process of enriching each other’s national cultures. Of course, the culture of a nation must withhold its own distinctive national characteristics in its extensive exchange with other cultures, and make contributions to the development of human civilization.正确答案：
现代话的交通、电信与大众传媒手段使世界变的越来越小,国际社会如同一个地球村,居住在地球村里的各国人民在文化交流中彼此尊重、共求发展。我认为,不同的文化应该相互学习,取长补短。我们必须清醒地认识到,文化交流不是让外来文化吞灭自己的文化,而是为了丰富各民族的文化。当然,在广泛的文化交流中,一个民族的文化必须保持本民族的鲜明特色,必须对人类文明的发展做出贡献。解析： 暂无解析 -

Prolonging Human Life
1.Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population.Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago.Because more people live longer,there are more people around at any given time.In fact,it is a decrease in death rates,not an increase in birthrates,that has led to the population explosion.
2.Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load.In all societies,people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures,old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die.In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved,whereas if the parents survived they could have another child.
3.In most contemporary societies,people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work.We also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age.Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement,somebody else must support them.In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people.Unless they have wealth or private or government insurance,they must often"go on welfare"if they have a serious illness.
4.When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves,they create grave problems for their families.In the past and in some traditional cultures,they would be cared for at home until they died.Today,with most members of a household working or in school,there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person.To meet this need,a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built.

Prolonging Human Life
Prolonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive
today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago.Because
more people live longer,there are more people around at any given time. In fact,it is a decrease in death rates,not an increase in birthrates,that has led to the population explosion.
Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies,people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures,old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved,whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most contemporary societies,people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work;we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement,some-body else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illness than young or middle-aged people;unless they have wealth or private or government insur-ance,they must often“go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.
When older people become senile or too weak and ill to care for themselves,they create grave problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures,they would be cared for at home until they died. Today,with most members of a household working or in school,there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need,a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built.These are of-ten profit-making organizations,although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups.While a few of these institutions are good,most of them are simply“dumping grounds”for the dying in which“care”is given by poorly paid,overworked,and under-skilled personnel.Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude toward most of the nursing homes,and convalescent hospitals?
A: Sympathetic.
B: Unfriendly.
C: Optimistic.
D: Critical.答案：D解析：题干意为“作者认为造成人口爆炸的原因是什么？”利用题干中的细节信息短语population explosion作为定位线索，在第一段中找到相关句：In fact, it is a decrease in death rates, not an increase in birthrates, that has led to the population explosion．该句意为 “事实上，是由于死亡率的下降，而不是出生率的上升，导致了人口爆炸”。因此，C项“死亡率的下降”是正确答案。
题干意为“从短文中可以推断出狩猎和以采集为生的时代……”。利用题干中的细节信息词/短语hunting和gathering cultures作为定位线索，在第二段中找到相关句： In hunting and gathering cultures,old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of famine,infants might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child．相关句意为 “在以狩猎和采集为生的时代，不能跟上其他人的老人会被甩在后面，任他死去。在饥荒时，人们会放任婴儿死亡，因为如果他们的父母饿死了，他们也无法生存，而如果父母生存下来可重新生儿育女”。因此，B项“遇到饥荒时，人们会放任婴儿死亡”是正确的答案。
题干意为“依据短文内容来看，关于美国退休人员的陈述下面哪个选项正确？”利用题干中的细节信息短语retired people和the United States作为定位线索，在第二 段中找到相关句：In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty．该句提到“在美国，许多退休人员依靠社会保障金生活，其数额非常微薄，使得他们几乎挣扎于贫困的边缘”，由此可知在美国许多退休人员的生活是很艰难的。这正是选项A表达的意思，因而A项“许多人生活艰难”是正确的答案。
题干意为“在第三段中，‘this need’…”。该题属于词汇题中的语篇衔接词 题。首先找到“this need”所在的句子：To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. “this need”应该回指上文中具体提到的需要，因此关 注上文，首先关注该句的前一句：Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person．该句意为“当今，由于家庭中大多数人都出去工作或上学，家里常常没有人来照顾有病或身体虚弱的人”。由此可知上文中提到的需要是“照顾有病的和身体虚弱的人”，因此答案为D项“需要照顾有病的和身体虚弱的人”。
题干意为“下面哪个选项能最恰当地描述作者对养老院和康复医院的态度？”该题属于主旨题，通常短文主题会在短文开头及/或短文结尾处有明确体现，因此首先关 注短文结尾处的句子：...most of them are simply “dumping grounds” for the dying in which“care” is given by poorly paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel．该句提到“大多数机构只不过是丢弃垂死的人的‘垃饭场’，所谓的‘照顾’都是由收入低、超量工作、技术水平低下的人员提供的”。从作者的用词中可以看出作者在对包括养老院和康复医院的大多数机构持批评的态度，因此答案为D项“批评性的”。 -

第20题：
We first think of the traditional or nuclear family．This is a two-generation family,the father and the mother and their own children．Most couples wanted to have four children,two boys,two girls.
Some nuclear families,however,may add one or more grandparents to come to live with them,that is three generations．This kind of family with grandparents,parents,and grandchildren is called an extended family．This family type was not very common during the later half of the twentieth century,but it's becoming more common now as an elderly grandparent moves in to live with a son or daughter．This is more possible now that American homes have become larger．What is interesting,however,is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own families,this extended family shrinks back to a nuclear family,with just two generations again living together,a grandparent and parents,with the grandchildren coming only for occasional visits．
Now,the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family．In the fatherless family it's just the mother and her children．As I said,this can be the result of the husband's death,of an unmarried mother,of a separation or divorce．There are also a growing number of motherless families--where the father raises the children,for any of the same reasons．A motherless family may also be fatherless,but still a family with one adult．This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughter's children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work.
One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common．A single parent with one or more children will marry again．Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent．Together they will start what is called a blended family,which blends together or combines the children from two other families.
What is true to the fact in America?A.There are more and more members in a famil
B.There are less and less members in a famil
C.There is an increasing number of grandparents who refuse to look after their grandchildre
D.There is an increasing number of grandparents who live separately from their childre答案：A解析：由第二自然段中句子“This is more possible now that American homes have become Larger”可知，A正确。 -

English and English Community
1. There is no denying that English is a useful language.The people who speak English today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese. Originally they were small tribes of people from northern Europe who settled in England.Their languages became more and more similar to each other. Finally,the language had enough uni-formity to be used by all speakers in England.The people were united into a speech community through their shared language.
2. A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities.The people who make up the community share a common language .Often they live side by side,as they do in a neighborhood, a village,or a city.More often they form a whole country.National boundaries,however,are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community.A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where they happen to live.
3. We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community.For convenience,we may classify the speakers into two groups:one in which the speakers use English as their native language,the other in which the speakers learn English as a second language for the purpose of education,commerce,and so on.
4. English serves as an alternative language in several areas of public activity for many nations of the world which employ it as an international second language .English has been adopted as the language of air traffic,commerce,as well as international diplomacy .Moreover,English is the language of the majority of published materials in the world so that education has come to rely heavily on an understanding of English.
5. Learning a second language extends one's vision and expands the mind.The history and litera- ture of a second language record the real and fictional lives of people and their culture;a knowl- edge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they feel .Learning English as a sec- ond language provides another means of communication through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our heritage.The idea of the national boundaries is often different from_____.
A:.that of a speech community
B: can a speech community be formed
C: in order to learn English better
D: for the sake of simplicity
E: has played an important role in the field of education
F: is widely used in several areas of public activity答案：A解析：该段通过与其他群体相比较来解释什么是语言群体，该段最后一句话是主题句，也是解答该题的关键，它可以被视为语言群体的定义。选项F符合题意，故选F
该段把讲英语的语言群体分为两类，一类是把英语当作母语；一类是把英语视为第二语言。选项D中的关键词composition是“构成”的意思，符合题意，故选D。
该段讲的是英语作为第二语言在世界上许多国家的各个领域都被广泛应用，如航空、商务、外交、教育等。选项A符合题意，故选A。
该段主要谈的是学习第二语言的益处，最后一句话更是具体到学习英语的益处。选项C符合题意，故选C。
答案来自第一段的最后一句，本题只是把该句倒装了。该句说明人们是通过他们所拥有的共同语言组成一个语言群体。题干以only开头，这要求主句谓语部分使用倒装句，选项中只有B项符合题意，故选B。
答案来自第二段第四句话，该句说明国界与语言群体的界限并不总是一致的。选项中涉及语言群体的只有A和B项，上题已经选择B项，所以只有A合适，A项中的 that用来代替the+有关前述名词。故选A。
本题的答案可以在第三段第二句中找到。该句表明为了方便起见，我们将说英语者分为两类。原句中的for convenience等于选项D , for the sake of simplicity。故选D。
本题较简单，只要找到第四段最后一句话就能正确回答该题。该句表明教育越来越依赖对英语的理解，反过来就是说对英语的理解在教育中起到重要作用。选项E符合题意，故选E。 -
