6．English is an important global language，but that doesn't mean it's easy to learn．Many experts have tried to make English easier for students to learn-but they weren't always successful．
In 1930，Professor CK Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English．It had only 850 words （and just eighteen verbs） and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours．The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages，but they couldn't understand the answers in"real"English!It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasn't in the Basic English word list．For example，if you wanted a watermelon，you asked for"a large green fruit with the form of an egg，which has a sweet red inside and a good taste"!
RE Zachrisson，a university professor in Sweden，decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling，so he invented a language called Anglic．Anglic was similar to English，but with much simpler spelling．"Father"became"faadher"，"new"became"nue'and"years"became"yeerz"．Unfortunately for some students of English，Anglic never became popular．
Even easier is the language which ships'captains use：it's called"Seaspeak"．Seaspeak uses a few simple phrases for every possible situation．In Seaspeak，for example，you don't say，"I'm sorry what did you say？"or"I didn't understand，can you repeat that？"It's just"Say again．"No more grammar!
In the age of international communication through the Internet who knows？…a new form of English might appear．A large number of the world's e-mails are in English and include examples of"NetLingo"like OIC （Oh，I see） and TTYL （Talk to you later）．In another fifty years，English might not exist…we will probably all speak fluent Internetish!
36．The best title for the passage would beD．
A．Seaspeak      B．Basic English       C．Internetish       D．Easy English    
37．It will take a person aboutCweeks to learn Basic English if he spends two hours learning it every day．
A．six           B．four               C．two             D．three
38．According to Professor Zachrisson，what was the biggest problem for learners of English？D
A．Grammar．B．Vocabulary．C．Speaking．D．Spelling．
39．Which of the following is likely to be Anglic？B
A．IOU  B．A graet batl．C．Long time no see．D．Two five，no lights．
40．What might happen to English in another fifty years？A
A．It might be replaced by Internetish．
B．It might become a global language．
C．It might take the place of all other languages．
D．It might become more and more difficult．

分析 本文主要講了關(guān)于英語的一些事．英語作為一種重要的全球性語言，許多人都試圖讓英語的學(xué)習(xí)更加簡單卻都沒有成功．例如劍橋大學(xué)的CK Ogden教授發(fā)明的基礎(chǔ)英語，他只有850個(gè)詞僅僅有18個(gè)動(dòng)詞，人們30個(gè)小時(shí)就能學(xué)會(huì)它，但它的實(shí)用性卻不強(qiáng)，還有以后RE Zachrisson發(fā)明的Anglic以及Seaspeak．如今網(wǎng)絡(luò)的交流時(shí)代，人們都習(xí)慣了在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上用簡寫，這成了英語的一種新形式．

解答 36  D  主旨大意為本題主要考查點(diǎn)．根據(jù)文章大意，本文主要介紹了幾種不同的簡化的英語的形式，例如Basic English、Anglic、Seaspeak及Internetish，故本文主要是在講簡化的英語．故答案為D．
37  C  邏輯推理為本題主要考查點(diǎn)．根據(jù)文章第二段people could learn it in just thirty hours人們花30小時(shí)就能學(xué)會(huì)它，一個(gè)人每天花2小時(shí)，15天大約2周即可學(xué)會(huì)．故答案為C．
38  D  本文考查細(xì)節(jié)理解．根據(jù)文章第三段開頭RE Zachrisson，a university professor in Sweden，decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling，可知英語學(xué)習(xí)者最大的問題是拼寫．故答案為D．
39 B  邏輯推理為本題主要考查點(diǎn)．根據(jù)文章關(guān)于Anglic的介紹，可知Anglic的主要特點(diǎn)是簡化拼寫，根據(jù)4個(gè)選項(xiàng)，只有B大致符合Anglic的要求．故答案為B．
40 A  邏輯推理為本題主要考查點(diǎn)．根據(jù)文章最后一段，In another fifty years，English might not exist…we will probably all speak fluent Internetish!可知英語可能會(huì)被Internetish取代．故答案為A．

點(diǎn)評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論，對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn)．

17．Advertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they're always coming in for criticism．Their critics（批評家）seem to hate them because they have so much money to throw around．Why don't they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods？After all，it's the consumer who pays．
The poor old consumer!He'd have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn't create mass markets for products．It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap．But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods．Another equally important function is to inform．A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods is largely from the advertisements we read．Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about．Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine，it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance，price，etc．，from an advertisement．
Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements，but this claim may be seriously doubted．It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days．And what fun they often are，too!Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements．Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or reading railway byelaws while waiting for a train？A cheerful，witty advertisement makes such a difference to a dull wall or a newspaper full of the incidents and disasters．
We must not forget，either，that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets．The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper，or can enjoy so many broadcast programmers is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers．Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!
Another thing we mustn't forget is the"small ads．"What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community!Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns．For instance，you can find a job，buy or sell a house，announce a birth，marriage or death in what used to be called the"hatch，match and dispatch"column（欄目） but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or"agony"column．No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature．It's the best advertisement for advertising there is!

48．What is the main idea of this passage？C
A．Advertisements steal money from our pockets
B．The critics get the wrong idea of advertisements．
C．Advertisers perform a useful service to communities．
D．Advertisements are everywhere．
49．What is the attitude of the author toward advertisements？A
A．He appreciates the role of advertisements．
B．He doubts the effect of advertisements．
C．He believes what is said in advertisements．
D．He complains too many advertisements in daily life．
50．Which of the following is Not True？B
A．The personal or"agony"column makes us know more about human nature．
B．The only purpose of advertising is to sell goods．
C．A newspaper will cost us more if there is no advertisement on it．
D．Advertisement makes our life colorful．
51．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？D
A．      B．       C．     D．
 （ ①=Paragraph 1，②=paragraph 2，③=paragraph 3，④=paragraph 4   ⑤=paragraph 5 ）

1．Although Paris is often considered the city of romance，close to a million adults who call it home are single．Many single people say that France's capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people．The complaints（抱怨）of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as"supermarket dating．"At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet，singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list．They can look for someone who has blue eyes，brown hair，and is 1.8 meters tall，or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list．
At this paris location，single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6：30 and 9：00 p．m．When they walk through the door，they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love．They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly，and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles（過道）．
With purple baskets in hand，shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries．When they are ready to pay，they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat．
Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating．They know that it is easy to embellish（美化）one's appearance or to lie about one's age over the Internet．The supermarket，on the other hand，is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match．In addition，what one finds in another's grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person's character or intentions．Buying pet food can be a man's way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side．Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living．These ways it's possible to find much more than food at a grocery store．

61．What do many single people in Pairs complain about？A

11．"Reduce，reuse，and recycle"，this familiar environmentalist slogan tells us how to reduce the amount of rubbish that ends up in landfills and waterways．The concept is being used to deal with one possibly dangerous form of waste-electronic junk （電子垃圾），such as old computers，cell phones，and televisions．But this process for managing e-waste may be used in an unscrupulous（肆無忌憚的） way more often than not used，a recent report suggests．
"A lot of these materials are being sent to developing nations under the excuse of reuse-to bridge the digital divide，"said Richard Gutierrez，a policy researcher．
One of the problems is that no one proves whether these old machines work before they hit the seaways．Because of this，the report says，e-waste is a growing problem in Lagos，Nigeria，and elsewhere in the developing world．Much of the waste ends up being thrown away along rivers and roads．Often it's picked apart by poor people，who may face dangerous exposure to poisonous chemicals in the equipment．
Businessmen also pay workers a little money to get back materials such as gold and copper．This low-tech recovery process could expose workers and the local environment to many dangerous materials used to build electronics．According to Gutierrez，this shadow economy exists because the excuse of recycling and reusing electronics gives businessmen"a green passport"to ship waste around the globe．"Developing nations must take upon some of the responsibility themselves，"Gutierrez said．But，he added，"A greater portion of this responsibility should fall on the exporting state．"
China，for example，has become a dumping place for large amounts of e-waste．The nation is beginning to take action to stop the flow of dangerous materials across its borders．The Chinese government，after many years of denial is finally beginning to take the lead．

67．The passage mainly tells us thatD．
A．developing countries are making full use of e-waste
B．e-waste is a growing problem in developed countries
C．developing countries are facing serious environmental problems
D．e-waste is sent to developing countries under the excuse of reuse
68．What does the third paragraph mainly discuss？C
A．A lot of e-waste is dumped in developing countries．
B．Old computers and TVs still work before sent abroad．
C．The problem of e-waste is growing in developing countries．
D．Poor people break up e-waste to collect some valuable materials
69．From what Gutierrez said we can learn thatD．
A．poor countries should be blamed for this problem
B．developing countries should be responsible for this problem
C．neither rich nor poor countries should be blamed for this problem
D．exporting countries should be mainly responsible for this problem
70．It can be inferred from the last paragraph thatB．
A．China has hidden a large amount of e-waste in many secret places
B．China has greatly changed her idea about the problem of e-waste
C．China is falling behind other countries in dealing with e-waste
D．China has prevented poisonous materials entering China for a long time．

18．Zoos divide opinion：there are those who think it is cruel （殘忍的） to keep animals locked up while others believe zoos are important for the survival of endangered species．
To think that zoos imprison animals is to misunderstand what zoos are about．Without zoos many of the creatures we love and admire would no longer exist．Every single day，over one hundred animal species vanish．Scientists predict that as early as 2050 one quarter of the Earth's species will become extinct（絕種的）．
Some animals are in danger because they are hunted．Worriedly，the population of tigers has already fallen by ninety-five percent．Other species are in danger because of a lack of food．For example，there are fewer than 1300 giant pandas left in the wild．
Zoos have special breeding programs to help those animals in danger．These breeding programs are proving very successful．As Irene Shapiro from Zoo and Wildlife Support says，"the Puerto Rican Parrot has grown in numbers from just thirteen to about eighty-five and the Golden Lion Tamarin Monkey，which has almost died out twenty years ago，has been reintroduced back into the wild．"
Unfortunately，not everyone understands this important role zoos play．For example，Brian Featherstone from the Anti-Zoo Forum says，"I can't believe we take animals from the wild and put them in cages for the entertainment of the public!We should view them on film or TV in their natural environment．"
However，this misses the point．A zoo does more than display animals to the public．It ensures their survival．Without zoos you would not be able to see many of these animals on TV or anywhere else!
67．What's the writer's attitude towards zoos？C
A．He shows no opinion either for or against them．
B．He thinks that they are unnecessary and cruel．
C．He believes they play an important environmental role．
D．He expresses a desire that more of them be built．
68．The underlined word"vanish"in Paragraph 2 most probably meansB．
A．remain           B．disappear        C．become rarer         D．get killed
69．According to the passage some people do not agree with zoos because theyD．
A．a(chǎn)re too expensive to run            
B．put animals in danger
C．do not provide enough food            
D．keep animals locked up
70．According to the writer，the most important function of the zoo is toC．
A．make a lot of money                 
B．entertain visitors
C．ensure animals'survival               
D．educate the public．

None of the above will happen if you say"no"．People don't really care that much!Imagine someone asking to wear your new jacket and you say"no"．Even if that person asks why，you can be honest and tell her you've decided not to lend it out．You don't have to apologize or make up excuses．Imagine you ask your friend for a lift and he says，"Sorry，the car's full already．"Do you feel hurt？The fact is that the car's full．That's all．

If you act like it's no big deal to say"no"，and just stay relaxed，then it doesn't have to be that important for the other person to get you to say"yes"．If you're at a party and someone hands you a beer，you can pass it on to the next person，or calmly say"no thanks"．
Using humor is a good idea to avoid doing something you don't want to do．But if using nice jokes isn't easy for you，the following TIPS may help：Make an Excuse：It makes me throw up； Avoid It：I'm going to be late； we'd better hurry； Pour It on：Are you serious？I can't believe you said that!Switch Directions：Wait．I have to tell you about what Jenny said to me．
