　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated 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 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.

　　1．What would be the best title for this passage?

　　A．The Difficulties of Learning English

　　B．International Communications

　　C．The Standard Varieties of English

　　D．English as a World Language

　　2．Which of the following statements is NOT true?

　　A．Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.

　　B．There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.

　　C．It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working

　　knowledge of English.

　　D．People learn English for a variety of reasons.

　　3．According to the passage，what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?

　　A．It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.

　　B．It is used in former British colonies.

　　C．It serves the needs of its native speakers.

　　D．It is a world language that is used for international communication.

　　4．What forms an adequate working knowledge of English?

　　A．The ability to read a newspaper.

　　B．It is difficult to judge because it differs for each situation.

　　C．Being a multilingual.

　　D．Being a native speaker.

　　5．What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English?

　　Ⅰ.

　　【解题导语】 本文是记叙文。作者和妻子经历了很多困难，但他们一直试图摆脱困境，积极面对未来。儿子随口说的一句话 “BE NICE” 也成为了他们生活态度的写照。

　　【重点词语链接】 (1)struggle可以用作不及物动词，也可以用作名词。当 “奋斗，斗争” 讲，多搭配介词for/against/with，也可与不定式搭配，如：

　　The old man has been struggling with illness.

　　这位老人一直在与病魔作斗争。

　　She struggled to keep back the tears.

　　她努力忍住泪水。

　　The struggle between the two teams was hard.

　　这两个队之间的斗争很艰苦。

　　(2)respond一般用作不及物动词，当 “回应，反应” 讲，如：

　　Has she responded to your letter?

　　她有没有回过你的信？

　　respond作 “作出反应，响应” 讲时，后常接介词to/by/with，如：

　　The government has responded to pressure and dropped the proposal.

　　政府回应压力并放弃了这一提议。

　　1．解析：从文章第一句可知，作者遇到了困难，因此在困难中 “挣扎”。本题干扰性比较强的是B、C两项，从后文看，作者并没有消极，因此选项B “抱怨” 不合逻辑；C项的意思是 “准备”，也不合适。

　　答案：A

　　2．解析：该空与后面的negative形成对比关系，因此选B，当周围的人和事都很消极的时候，怎样才能变得积极呢？A项有一定干扰性，但 “自信的”，与后文构不成对比关系。

　　答案：B

　　3．解析：feed up “厌烦，厌倦”，符合语境。leave over “剩下，残留”；test out “对……彻底检验，考验”；mix up “弄错，搞错”。

　　答案：D

　　4．解析：语境为：我们想改变自己的生活，最终成为亲戚朋友的榜样。

　　答案：C

　　5．解析：从前面可知，作者在上班，因此妻子只能是 “打电话” 给他。A项 “拜访”，不合逻辑。

　　答案：D

　　6．解析：根据语境可知，作者絮絮叨叨反而给妻子留下了深刻的印象，这些话一整天都萦绕在妻子脑海中。stick with sb.表示 “紧跟着某人，保持与某人的联系”，符合语境。

　　答案：C

　　7．解析：要注意前后之间的内在逻辑关系。白天，我安慰妻子一切都会好起来，晚上妻子拿我的话开玩笑，两人都在相互支撑对方。刚好这时，孩子跌倒说出了 “BE NICE” 这样的话，与大人的想法不谋而合，与白天我的话 “be strong” 相照应。因此选B项 “巧合的是”，符合逻辑。A项 “不幸地”，C项 “偶然地”，D项 “因此”，都不合语境和逻辑。

　　答案：B

　　8．解析：因为够不着牛奶，孩子感到郁闷，因此选frustration “受挫，沮丧”。A项 “疼痛，痛苦”，B项 “生气”，D项 “好奇心”，均不符合语境。

　　答案：C

　　9．解析：文章最后一段有提示，作者给衬衫做了设计。

　　答案：A

　　10．解析：从文章最后一段可知，作者想看看人们是否会对衬衫有反应。A项意思是 “签名，做手势”，B项意思是 “接近”，D项意思是 “招手”，都不符合语境。

　　答案：C

　　11．解析：从后文可知，衬衫起作用了。work “起作用”，符合语境。

　　答案：B

　　12．解析：结合文章第一段和最后一段分析，本文作者强调的是生活的 “态度”。

　　答案：D

　　【解题导语】 本文是说明文。“世界屋脊” 喜马拉雅山因当地居民不环保的取火方式正受到黑烟云的巨大威胁。

　　13．to　14.what　15.which　16.speed　17.comes　18.as

　　19．easy/straightforward/simple　20.keeping/stopping/preventing
