科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2010年鄭州智林學(xué)校高二下學(xué)期期末考試英語(yǔ)卷 題型:閱讀理解
Language is a major problem for the European Union (EU). The agreement or treaty(條約) which created the organization that eventually became the EU, the Treaty of Rome, stated that each country's language must be treated equally. The original(原來(lái)的) six countries had only three languages between them: French, German and Dutch/Flemish. However, there are now 15 countries in the EU, with a total of 12 languages. EU documents must be translated into all these languages, and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.
All this translating is very expensive and time-consuming (費(fèi)時(shí)的). It is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches, and nearly half of the EU's administrative(管理方面的) costs are spent on this task. In the near future it is probable that several more
countries, most of them having their own languages, will join the EU, thus making the situation even worse.
The problem is not just cost; there are practical difficulties as well. With 12 languages, there are 132 possible "translation situations" that might be needed. It is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from (for example) Danish into Greek, or Dutch into Portuguese, at a high professional standard.
In practice the problem has been made less severe by the use of English in many contacts between EU officials, since almost all of them speak some English. However, any move to reduce the number of official languages (perhaps to four or five) would be a blow to the pride of the smaller Countries. Another commonly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business. However, this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like France and Germany.
1.The organization that eventually became the EU .
A. was started by France and Germany B. started with three countries
C. was set up by the Treaty of Rome D. included 132 languages

A. To give a solution to a problem.
B. To find out a problem and show how severe it is.
C. To criticize the European Union for inefficiency.

3. According to the writer, the use of English in contacts among EU officials has .
A. angered the officials who don't speak English
B. reduced the number of official languages
C. reduced the effect of the problem
D. been opposed by powerful member countries
4.The writer mentions "Danish into Greek" as an example of .
A. a situation that might be difficult to deal with
B. a situation that occurs often
C. one of the 12 situations that requires an interpreter
D. languages easily being interpreted
5.The writer suggests that if the number of official languages was reduced .
A. the EU would not know which official languages to choose
B. countries whose languages were not used officially would be unhappy
C. only languages which are easy to translate would be used officially
D. the smaller member countries would be pleased

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2010屆廣東省湛江市高三上學(xué)期第四次月考 題型:閱讀理解
I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of language—the way it can evoke(喚起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language is the tool of my trade. And I use them all—all the Englishes I grew up with.
Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I’ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. I’ve heard other terms used, “l(fā)imited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people’s perceptions(認(rèn)識(shí))of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s “l(fā)imited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is ,because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won’t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal(內(nèi)在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
46. By saying “Language is the tool of my trade”, the author means that ______.
A. she uses English in foreign trade B. she is fascinated by languages
C. she works as a translator D. she is a writer by profession
47. The author used to think of her mother’s English as ______.
A. impolite B. Amusing C. imperfect D. practical
48. Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3?
A. Americans do not understand broken English.
B. The author’s mother was not respected sometimes.
C. The author’ mother had positive influence on her.
D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts.
49. The author gradually realizes her mother’s English is _____.
A. well structured B. in the old style C. easy to translate D. rich in meaning
50. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The changes of the author’s attitude to her mother’s English.
B. The limitation of the author’s perception of her mother.
C. The author’s misunderstanding of “l(fā)imited” English.
D. The author’s experiences of using broken English.

The British people either don’t care or are kept in the dark regarding 31 country’s colonization overseas. When you talk to an average Britisher, he doesn’t seem to know 32 about his country’s glorious days as a result of colonization one or two generations ago. When Britain handed over Hong Kong in 1997, the Hong Kong press went to London and tried to get a sense of the popular mood by interviewing students and business people in the streets. Most of them didn’t know 33 handover event took place. Some expressed surprise to hear the question. Some even thought that Britain returned Hong Kong to Japan! For the British people to know: Hong Kong is a big deal 34 it’s a tiny dot on the map. HK was the most successful British colony, maybe the longest 35 ( keep ) too. Certainly, HK 36 ( bring ) a lot of money to the British Treasury, to the business elites, and to a lot of English civil servants who had worked there before. All you need is to look at the HK government 37 ( office ) records, the salary scales of English officials, the subsidized housing they got, and the 38 ( retire ) benefits they enjoyed. Remember the British colonial government in HK ran continuous huge surpluses every year, a clear sign that they were not spending the money _ 39 they earned it. The money was deposited in the British Treasury and major banks. If you are a responsible English citizen, you should ask where the surplus money went, if it didn’t go to 40 ( serve ) the people.
