第2题：
For any Englishman there can never be any discussion as to who is the world's greatest writer. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him：that of William Shakespeare.
Every Englishman has some knowledge of his work. All of us use words and phrases from Shakespeare's writings that have become a part of the English-speaking people.
Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand!
There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare's day.
1). From the first two sentences of the passage we can conclude that ________.
A. it can't be discussed about who is the world's greatest dramatist
B. Shakespeare is regarded as the greatest writer
C. Englishmen like to discuss about who is the world's greatest writer
D. it can't be discussed about who is the world's greatest poet
2). According to the passage many English words and phrases that we use today are from _____.
A. Englishmen
B. English speaking people
C. Shakespeare's works
D. ancient people
3). To learn the richness of the English language, people should ______.
A. write and read more
B. be glad to be a foreigner
C. learn from an English man
D. read Shakespeare's plays
4). The author does not suggest beginners reading Shakespeare's plays probably because _____.
A. only Englishmen can understand his plays
B. some of English usage and the meaning of many words have changed
C. the works are too difficult for a beginner
D. the works are for native speakers
5). In this passage the author wants to _______.
A. tell how great a writer Shakespeare is
B. tell that some aspects of English usage have changed since Shakespeare's day
C. tell that some English words are out of use now
D. show the richness of English language

第4题：
One of the main reasons for getting students to listen to spoken English is to let them hear varieties and ___________, rather than just the voice of their teacher with its own idiosyncrasies. In today′s world, they need to be exposed not only to one variety of English, but also to varieties such as American English, Australian English, Indian English and so on.A.languages
B.mother tongues
C.accents
D.natives答案：C解析：考查听力教学。在英语听力教学中，教师应尽量让学生接触不同风格、种类的语音、语调的听力材料，诸如美式英语、澳大利亚英语、印度英语等，为语言交流打好基础。accent的基本意思是“口音，腔调”。其特点体现在语音上，往往与地域、民族或社会阶层有关。 -

第三篇
A Debate on the English Language
A measure declaring English the national language is under intense debate in the United States. The US Senate passed two declarations last week.One calls English the nation's official language
and the other says it is the "common and unifying（统一的）"tongue. But Americans found themselves divided on the issue.
Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English,many can't understand why the issue is so controversial（有争议的）.
"The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues,"says Dick Tucker,a social scientist at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University."It's related to a worry about the changing demography （人口统计）of the US. It's a worry about who will continue to have political and economic influence.
In fact,the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation's founding. John Adams lobbied（游说）in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language. But his proposal died, since lawmakers saw it as a royalist（保皇主义者）attempt to define personal behavior.
Since then,the country hasn't had a national language,but the idea of recognizing the special status of English lived on.
The emotions surrounding language resurface（再次浮现）not because people feel comfortable with English.It is more about the discomfort many Americans feel with the new languages,says Walt Wolfram,a professor at North Carolina State University.
"Language is never about language,"he says.
According to the 2000 US Census Bureau report,of 209 million Americans over 18 years old, 172 million speak only English at home.About 37 million speak languages other than English. Among them,6.5 million speak poor English and 3.1 million don't speak English at all.What are the two declarations concerned with?
A:The status of the English language.
B:The protection of new languages.
C:The rights to speak one's mother tongue.
D:The improvement of the English language.答案：A解析：本题问的是“两项声明与什么有关？”文章第一段提到“上周，美国参议院通过了两项声明。一项要求英语成为官方语言，另一项称其是统一的普通语言。”显然，这两项声明与英语的地位有关。
本题是细节考查题。本题问“在18世纪谁提出英语应该得到保护？”第四段提到了1780年即18世纪发生的事件。在这一段涉及的人物是选项B " John Adams "。
本题问“下列哪个选项与当前的这场讨论无关？”从句义来看，该问题似乎直接涉及文章主题，但选项均涉及细节信息：A“移民问题”;B“不断变化的人口统计”;C“新语言”;D“美国的军队实力”。前三个选项在文章中均可找到出处。选项A相关句说“引发这场讨论的一个原因是出于对移民问题的担心”，由此可见选项A与讨论相关，应该被排除。选项 B相关句说“引发它的另一个原因是对美国不断变化的人口统计数据的担心”，由此可见选项B与讨论相关，应该被排除。文章第六段说“Walt Wolfram说‘它更与很多美国人对新语言的不适相关’”,，因此选项C也与讨论相关，应该被排除掉。
本题问“根据2000年美国人口调查局的报告，下列哪个选项的说法正确？”从句义来看，该问题涉及文章中的细节信息，属于细节题。文章最后一段提到“According to the 2000 US Census Bureau report,of 209 million Americans over 18 years old,172 million speak only English at home"，显然选项C符合题意。
本题是词汇题。本题问“第四段的kicked around可被哪个词替换？"kicked around意为“讨论，议论”。选项A意为“发明”；选项B意为“构成，形成”；选项C意为“构成，塑造成”；选项D意为“讨论，议论”。 -

第11题：
单选题The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated (估计) to have been about 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 (足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own 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.Which of the following statements is NOT trueASome 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.
BThere are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.
CIt is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.
DPeople learn English for a variety of reasons.

第12题：
单选题Adam’s dog, a golden retriever named Hans, can respond to over 150 different commands. Adam cites this fact as evidence for his claim that Hans can understand the English language. Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on Adam’s claim that Hans can understand the English language?AEach of the 150 commands to which Hans responds involves both a spoken word in English and a distinctive hand sign.
BHans does not respond to the same commands when spoken to him by Adam’s French and Italian friends in their own languages.
CScientists have demonstrated conclusively that canine vocal chords are incapable of replicating many of the sounds used in the English language.
DAnimal behaviorists have demonstrated that even very young dogs surpass both wolves and chimpanzees—animals that are thought to be more intelligent than dogs—in the ability to understand human nonverbal communication.
EThe golden retriever is widely considered to be less intelligent than the border collie, and no border collie has ever been shown to truly understand the English language.
正确答案： D解析：
A项揭示Hans可以理解150种不同的指令是因为狗可能对不同的手势有反应，这为狗的行为提供了另一种不同的解释，所以A项是正确的。 -

That a Japanese child adopted at birth by an American couple will grow up speaking English indicates ＿ of human language.A. duality
B. cultural transmission
C. arbitrariness
D. cognitive creativity答案：B解析：考查语言的本质特征。duality“二重性”：指语言的等级性，包括形位和音位；cultural transmission“文化传递性”：指语言要通过教学和学习才能获得；arbitrariness“任意性”：语言符号的形式与表示意义没有天然联系，语言音和义之间的任意性；cognitive creativity“认知创造性”。题干“日本小孩出生时被美国夫妇收养，长大后说英文”正是体现了语言的文化传递性。所以正确答案为B。 -
