第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Offshore English is a term being used by many people for International English.It is the English spoken and written by nonnative speakers in international communication.Many in business are starting to worry that native speakers are actually at a disadvantage in international communication.One case study that is quoted is of a contract to provide flight simulators to South Korea，where a French company won the contract because the buyers found it easier to understand the English spoken by the French than the English spoken by the British company.
Many native English speakers feel little need to learn foreign languages，so they often lack understanding of the difficulties and problems learners face.They also don't see the need to modify their language for a foreign audience，so they use idioms，synonyms(同义词), phrasal verbs，etc..., without thinking of the impact this might have on a foreign business person.
The English studied by nonnative speakers tends to use a narrower core vocabulary.This means that nonnative speakers from different countries and cultures may understand each other more easily than the native speakers do.Few native speakers outside the world of ESL teaching have much idea of what nonnative learners are taught，and think that as their English is at native speaker level，they speak it better than their nonnative counterparts.This unawareness is starting to cause problems that businesses are beginning to identify，and courses in offshore English are now being offered to native speakers in an attempt to train them to speak the kind of English that will make it easier for nonnative speakers to understand，enabling them to win more contracts.
1．Which of the following statements is true about offshore English?
A．It can be spoken by nonnative speakers.
B．It is used to win more contracts.
C．It is difficult to understand.
D．It is full of idioms，synonyms，phrasal verbs，etc.
答案：A 细节判断题。从文章第一段第二句话可知答案。
2．A French company won the contract because________.
A．it has advanced technology and equipment
B．it can be relied on
C．it is on good terms with South Korea
D．the English spoken by the French is easier to understand
答案：D 细节判断题。从文章第一段第四句话可看出答案。
3．Why are native English speakers actually at a disadvantage in international communication?
A．Because what they say is difficult for the nonnative speakers to understand.
B．Because they speak English better than their nonnative counterparts.
C．Because they are difficult to deal with.
D．Because they don't want to improve themselves.
答案：A 细节推理题。从文章第三段第一、二句话我们看出，非操本族语者，用的词汇比较少，比较集中，而操本族语者用的词汇广泛，不利于非操本族语者理解。
4．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Offshore English will take the place of English spoken by native speakers.
B．More and more people will study offshore English.
C．Offshore English is what is written in contracts.
D．Many native English speakers often lack understanding of the difficulties and problems nonnative speakers face.
答案：B 判断推理题。文章最后一段告诉我们一个事实：在国际交往中操本族语者开始学习“offshore English”，所以我们推断学习这门语言的人会越来越多。
B
To master a language one must be able to speak it，understand it when it is spoken，as well as to read and write it.These days more and more foreigners are coming to China and more and more Chinese are going abroad to work or study so that the spoken language is becoming more and more important.
Speaking，of course，can't go without listening.If you want to pronounce a word correctly，you must be able to hear it correctly.The sounds of the Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same.If you don't listen carefully，you'll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.
Well，what about writing？Like speaking，it's used to exchange ideas.People generally use longer sentences in their writing.The important thing is to make your ideas clear in your head and then write them in clear language.
Chinese students read far too slowly.If you read faster，you understand better.If you read too slowly，by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about.When you meet with new words，don't look them up in the dictionary at once.Guess the meanings from the context.You may not guess quite correctly the first time，but as the new words come up again and again in different contexts，their meanings will become clearer and clearer.If you try to look up every word，you'll never finish a book.
Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge，the knowledge of the life，history and geography of the people whose language they're studying.They should study these subjects in the foreign language，not only in translation.In this way one_can_kill_two_birds_with_one_stone：he can learn the language and some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.
5．In the first paragraph the writer told us________.
A. how to speak English
B．how to read and write
C．why English people couldn't understand each other.
D．why spoken English is important
答案：D 根据第二句话These days more and more foreigners are coming to China and more and more Chinese are going abroad to work or study so that the spoken language is becoming more and more important.可知，越来越多的外国人到中国来和越来越多的中国人到外国去，这里的英语越来越重要。故答案选D项。
6．In the fourth paragraph the writer gave us some advice on________.
A. how to guess the meaning from the context
B．how to read fast
C．how to look up new words in the dictionary
D．how to get the general idea of a passage
答案：B 根据第四段第二句话If you read faster，you understand better可知，如果读得快，那么对文章的理解也较好，然后本段分析了快慢的优缺点，故本段主要是讲述快读的方法。
7．“To kill two birds with one stone” means________.
A．to get some particular knowledge
B．to get more than what one pays
C．the stone is very useful
D．the birds are blind enough
答案：B 根据最后的一句话he can learn the language and some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time可知，短语To kill two birds with one stone(本意是：一石二鸟)此处意义为得到的比一个人所祈求的东西多。故答案选B。
C
Ireland has had a very difficult history.The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer(征服) Ireland.For hundreds of years，the Irish people fought against the English.Finally，in 1921，the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland.The result is that today there are two “Irelands”．Northern Ireland，in the north，is part of the United Kingdom.The Republic of Ireland，in the south，is an independent country.
In the 1840s the main crop，potatoes，was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger.This，and a shortage (短缺) of work，forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA，the UK，Australia and Canada.As a result of these problems，the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
For many years，the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers.Today，many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices.Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside，where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
The Irish are famous for being warmhearted and friendly.Oscar Wilde，a famous Irish writer，once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”．Since independence，Ireland has revived(复兴) its own culture of music，language，literature and singing.Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments.Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin，whistles，etc.
8．What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?
A．How the Irish fought against the English.
B．How Ireland gained independence.
C．How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.
D．How two “Irelands” came into being.
答案：D 主旨大意题。第一段告诉我们爱尔兰人和英格兰人之间的斗争，南部爱尔兰的独立，但主要讲述的是爱尔兰的两部分是怎样形成的。故D项正确。
9．We learn from the text that in Ireland________.
A. food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in population
B．people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside
C．it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker
D．different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments
答案：A 推理判断题。根据第二段的In the 1840s the main crop，potatoes，was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger.可推知，A项符合题意。
10. The last paragraph is mainly about________.
A．the Irish character B．Irish culture
C．Irish musical instruments D．a famous Irish writer
答案：B 主旨大意题。根据最后一段的Since independence，Ireland has revived its own culture of music，language，literature and singing.Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments.Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin，whistles，etc.可知，B项符合题意。
11．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Life in Ireland B．A Very Difficult History
C．Ireland，Past and Present D．The Independence of Ireland
答案：C 主旨大意题。前两段介绍爱尔兰的历史，后两段介绍爱尔兰的现在。故C项符合题意。
D
Is there a difference between privacy and secrecy？What a thought provoking (发人深省的) question！But，what is private is also a secret and what is secret is private.Therefore，it seems that there is no actual difference. In either case we may choose at some point to share something private or secret.But，for the most part，our private lives，thoughts，ambitions，desires and actions are those things that we also keep secret.
When something is private，in our own lives or a country club，those admitted into this domain(范围) are limited. It is held private to preserve the unique quality.When something is secret it is also held in that state to preserve its unique quality.Whether private or secret it may be anything from precious and dear to us to shameful or dangerous.Nevertheless，as individuals we have the right to that part of us that we do not wish to share with everyone.And，whatever word you care to call it，it is still the same thing.
For example，a surprise birthday party is a secret until it occurs and may also be private，limited to only a few select people.A small gathering of business people who wish to discuss something of importance may also be called a secret or private meeting.
The small nuances(微妙之处) are what make the difference.A writer or speaker must determine which word would be best understood by his audience or readers.And，the correct usage is what makes the difference between a good writer or speaker and a great one.
本文主要讨论了privacy和secrecy之间的区别。
12．What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The meanings of privacy and secrecy.
B．How to use privacy and secrecy.
C．What makes the difference between privacy and secrecy.
D．Whether there is any difference between privacy and secrecy.
答案：D 主旨大意题。本文的第一句就点明了主题，故选D项。
13．The main purpose of the passage is to________.
A．give advice B．make an explanation
C．present opinions D．provide information
答案：C 推理判断题。本文为议论文，作者主要就privacy和secrecy之间是否有区别给出了自己的观点，故选C项。
14．What is the author's attitude toward the question whether there is a difference between privacy and secrecy?
A. There is no difference between privacy and secrecy.
B．There are great differences between privacy and secrecy.
C．In most cases，they are different，but in some cases they mean the same.
D．They are almost the same but while you use them you should choose the suitable one.
答案：D 细节理解题。由第一段第四句there is no actual difference和第二段it is still the same thing可知，作者认为两者在大多数情况下是相同的；由最后一段的内容可知在选用词的时候还是具有微妙的差别，故选D项。
15．To support his/her idea，the author develops the passage mainly________.
A．in order of time B．in order of importance
C．by giving examples D．by using quotation and statistics
答案：C 篇章结构题。综观全文可知，作者主要通过举例子来说明两词之间的相同与不同之处，故选C项。
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Industrial pollution is not only a problem for the countries of Europe and North America but also an extremely serious problem in some developing countries.__16__They want to introduce industries，and so they put few controls on the industries which cause pollution.
Cubatao，an industrial town of 85 000 people in Brazil，is an example of the connection between industrial development and pollution.In 1954，Cubatao had no industry.__17__The people of the town are suffering from the poisonous matter in their environment.__18__Birth shortcomings are extremely common.Among children and adults，lung problems are sometimes twelve times more common in Cubatao than in other places.
__19__However，these laws are not strict enough.It is cheaper for companies to take no notice of the laws and pay the fines(罚款) than to buy the expensive equipment that will reduce the pollution.It is clear，therefore，that economic growth is more important to the government than to the health of the workers.
However，the responsibility does not completely lie with the Brazilian government.__20__A number of the factories in the town are owned by large companies from France，Italy，and the U．S.They are doing things in Brazil that they would not be able to do at home.If they caused the same amount of pollution at home，they would be severely punished or even put out of business.
A．So the bad effects can be clearly seen.
B．It is true that Brazil has laws against pollution.
C．For these countries，economic growth is a very important aim.
D．The pollution in Cubatao is caused by the changes of the companies.
E．The government should play an important role in controlling pollution.
F．Today it has more than twenty large factories，which produce many pollutants(污染物)．
G．The example of Cubatao shows that international cmpanies are not acting in a responsible way either.
答案：16～20 CFABG

21．A.right B．high
C．good D．poor
答案：B 由下文小男孩靠收集废麻布袋筹钱可知，5美元的价格对于他来说太高(high)了。
22．A.price B．money
C．box D．thing
答案：B 由上下文可知，鲁本不能向爸爸要“钱”来买自己想要的东西。
23．A.wanted B．liked
C．borrowed D．took
答案：A 虽然小男孩没有钱，但是她告诉了店主自己想“要”的东西，故用want。
24．A.hold B．bring
C．send D．lift
答案：A 根据下文中店主的回答和鲁本攒够钱后又回来买到了这件物品可知，他请求店主为他保留一段时间。hold在此意为“保留”。

C．thought D．smiled
答案：D 由店主的回答可知，他愿意将这件物品为小男孩保留一段时间。用smile可体现出他愿意，符合语境，

C．almost D．seldom
答案：B 此处表示这儿的人们通常(usually)没有钱来买这种东西。
27．A.operation B．feel

答案：D 由下一段第一句中的the factory可知，这些麻布袋可以卖给工厂，答案为D项。
30. A．found B．stole
C．begged D．hid
答案：A 根据上文可知他想捡袋子卖钱，因此此处应该是“发现”袋子，而不是“偷”、“讨要”或“隐藏”袋子。

C．checked D．reported
答案：A 鲁本捡袋子的目的就是“卖掉”他们挣钱，故选A项。
32．A.work B．dinner
C．school D．graduation
答案：C 由文章第一句所说的鲁本只有12岁及第五段最后一句中的homework可推知，他还在上学，所以应该是每天放学后去找袋子，用school符合语境。
33．A.searching B．enjoying
C．collecting D．making
答案：C 由第四段第二句中的collect the sacks可知，答案为C。注意不要误选A项，要表达“寻找”麻布袋应用search for。

C. useless D．endless
答案：B 由本段第二句可知，他没有告诉家人自己所做的事情，因此这是一项“秘密的”工作。
35．A.quickly B．finally
C．yet D．still

38．A.arm B．hair

40．A.carried B．gathered
