5．A story from the Bible tells of old Babylon，where the men decided to build a tower that would touch the sky．But God was unhappy，and he made them speak different languages．They couldn't understand each other，so their dream never came true．
Yet the dream remains alive：if all men speak the same language，they can do anything．L．L．Zamenhof from Poland was among the men who pursue this dream．He developed Esperanto（世界语）between 1877and 1885．
As the most successful man-made world language，it is spoken by over two million people around the world．Last month，the World Esperanto Congress（大会），dealing with language rights，ended in Sweden．The 2004conference was held in Beijing．Most Esperanto speakers are in Central and Eastern Europe and in East Asia，particularly Chinese mainland．
Esperanto has two advantages．First，it's easy．Each letter has exactly one sound and there are just 16basic grammar rules．The second advantage is that it belongs to no one country．But Esperanto has only reached a small number of people compared with natural languages widely used around the world-such as English or Chinese．While these languages are deeply connected with their nations and cultures，Esperanto doesn't have this background．
Will Esperanto really become a global language？It remains a question．
36．The writer tells us a story at the beginning toA．
A．explain why men have been making the effort to create a language shared by all
B．explain why men now speak different languages
C．show the relationship between man and God
D．prove that language is very important
37．What does the underlined word"pursue"in the second paragraph mean？B
A．"Realize"． 
B．"Work for"． 
C．"Be against"． 
D．"Follow"
38．What is the basic difference between Esperanto and English？D
A．More people speak English than Esperanto．
B．Esperanto words are easier to spell．
C．Esperanto has fewer grammar rules．
D．Esperanto is not supported by any country or culture．

B．Men's dream of sharing the same language．
C．The most successful planned language-Esperanto．
D．Comparison of Esperanto and other languages like English and Chinese．
40．Which is RIGHT，according to the passage？D
A．Esperanto is very popular all over the world．
B．Esperanto is based on language in Poland．
C．Esperanto is rooted in its nation and culture．
D．Esperanto is a man-made language．

分析 短文主要讲了Zamenhof发展了一种世界语，并讲了其优点和局限．

解答 36．A，推理判断题，根据第一段But God was unhappy，and he made them speak different languages提到，上帝让人类讲不同的语言，这个故事就是来解释为什么人类一直要找出一种大家都知道的语言，故答案为A．
37．B，词义猜测题，由后面He developed Esperanto（世界语）between 1877and 1885．可知，Zamenhof发展了一种世界语，可以猜测他"致力于"这个梦想，故答案为B．
38．D，细节理解题，根据句子The second advantage is that it belongs to no one country和Esperanto doesn't have this background可知，世界语是没有任何国家支撑，以及没有文化背景的，故答案为D．
39．C，主旨大意题，短文主要讲了Zamenhof发展了一种世界语，并讲了其优点和局限，故答案为C．
40．D，细节理解题，根据句子As the most successful man-made world language可知，世界语是人造的语言，故答案为D．

点评 解答任务型阅读理解题，首先对原文材料迅速浏览，掌握全文的主旨大意．因为阅读理解题一般没有标题，所以，速读全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速读的过程中，应尽可能多地捕获信息材料．其次，细读题材，各个击破．掌握全文的大意之后，细细阅读每篇材料后的问题，弄清每题要求后，带着问题，再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息．最后，要善于抓住每段的主题句，阅读时，要有较强的针对性．对于捕获到的信息，要做认真分析，仔细推敲，理解透彻，只有这样，针对题目要求，才能做到稳、准．

The games are based off Escape the Room video games，such as Crimson Room and QP-Shot，created by TAKAGISM Inc．by Toshimitsu Takagi in 2005，in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore his or her surroundings in order to escape．（36）GOther inspirations include adventure board games and movies．Real-life room escape games are becoming popular in the United States，Japan，and China．（37）AFor example，some games require you escape prison cells while others require you escape space stations．（38）F

17．A few years ago，pop poets such as Murray Lachlan Young began to set poetry to rock music with some surprising results．People thought that poetry was the new rock‘n'roll．However，despite the brief popularity of a few pop poets，poetry and pop music didn't seem t o mix．But are they really so different？
If you look back at the origins of poetry，there is a strong connection between poems and popular music．In Greek mythology，for example，the muse （女神） Erato is pictured with a lyre （里拉琴） in her hand，and looks just like the ancestor of the modern rock star with his electric guitar．In addition，the poets Shelley and Byron were as famous in the nineteenth century as the pop stars of today．
But despite their common origins，there are many differences between poetry and pop music．Pop songs are always written for a public performance，whereas poetry often isn't．And the lyrics in pop songs sometimes have less rhythm than those in poetry．This is because the music provides the rhythm rather than the words．Pop ly rics are also simpler and often keep on saying the same thing．This repetition works well in a performance and means that pop songs are easier for people to sing and learn by heart．
Both songs and poems tell a story or talk about feelings．Songs in particular deal with the different stages in a relationship，such as falling in love or breaking up．The words and ideas in songs are usually easier to understand than those in"serious"poetry．However，talented performers like Paul McCartney，or newer stars like Robbe Williams，often give simple songs more expression when they perform them．And some of the best lines from pop lyrics are as beautiful as poetry．
So although pop music and poetry have many differences，they do have one important thing in common：the power to make us think about how we feel．
32．Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 4？D
A．Songs and poems are equa lly beautiful．
B．The main theme of songs is about relationship．
C．Songs tell stories but poems tell about feelings．
D．Songs and poems express a similar message．
33．According to the article，what is the difference between poetry and pop songs？C
A．Pop songs are not always performed before an audience．
B．Pop songs are more difficult to understand than poetry．
C．The words in pop songs are repeated over and over again．
D．There is more rhythm in pop songs than poetry．
34．What did Murray Lachlan Young do a few years ago？A
A．He had rock music and poetry combined．
B．He surprised people with his beautiful style of writing．
C．He wrote beautiful music for some famous poems．
D．He invented a new kind of poem for his fans．
35．What does the writer say about talented performers today？C
A．They look at poetry to find ideas for their songs．
B．They think their songs are more serious than poetry．
C．They give songs more meaning when they sing them．
D．They consider themselves to be more popular than poets．
14．On a stormy day last August，Tim heard some shouting．Looking out to the sea carefully，he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea．
Two 12-year-old boys，Christian and Jack，rowed out a boat to search for a football．Once they'd
rowed beyond the calm waters，a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water．The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore．But they were no match fo it and
the boat was out of control．
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves．"Everything went quiet in my head，"Tim
recalls（回忆），"I'm trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line．"
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water．Every 500 yards or so，he raised his head to
judge his progress．"At one point，I considered turning back，"he says．"I wondered if I was putting
my life at risk．"After 30 minutes of struggling，he was close enough to yell to the boys，"Take down
the umbrella!"
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella．Then Tim was able to catch up and climb
aboard the boat．He took over rowing，but the waves were almost too strong for him．
"Let's aim for the pier（码头），"Jack said．Tim turned the boat toward it．Soon afterward，
waves crashed over the boat，and it beganto sink．"Can you guys swim？"he cried．"A little bit，"the
boys said．Once they were in the water，Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys
toward the pier．Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs．Tim swam
toward land as water washed over the boys'faces．
"Are we almost there？"they asked again and again．"Yes，"Tim told them each time．
After 30 minutes，they reached the pier．
21．Why did the two boys go to the sea？B
A．To go boat rowing．
B．To get back their football．
C．To swim in the open water．
D．To test the umbrella as a sail．
22．Why did Tim raise his head regularly？C
A．To take in enough fresh air．
B．To consider turning back or not．
C．To check his distance from the boys．
D．To ask the boys to take down the umbrella．
23．How can the two boys finally reach the pier？A
A．They were dragged to the pier by Tim．
B．They swam to the pier all by themselves．
C．They were washed to the pier by the waves．
D．They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back．
15．If you need glasses to read this，you are among the majority of Chinese students．That's because most students in China are short-sighted which means they can only see things close up and distant things will be blurry．Four-fifths of high school students wear glasses and now more and more children in primary school need glasses，too．
This epidemic of poor eyesight has two very simple causes：too much time spent indoors studying and too little time spent outdoors playing．Reading and writing for hours and hours，sometimes in poorly lighted rooms，causes eyesight to weaken．But students have to do this because there is so much pressure on them to succeed in school．And because they spend so much time indoors at school and at home，they have less time to spend outdoors enjoying the sun．
The sun，as a consequence，is important in developing good eyesight．Exposure to daylight releases a chemical in the eyes that prevents，or at least delays，short-sightedness．According to a study by Ian Morgan of Australian National University，Australian children and Chinese children have the same level of eyesight before they start school，but once they enter primary school，Chinese children only spend about an hour a day outside，while Australian children spend three to four hours each day in the sunshine．The result is that while about 40percent of Chinese primary school students need glasses，only three percent of Australian children do．
Wearing glasses may not seem like a big deal．For some，wearing glasses can even be an opportunity to make a fashion statement．But poor eyesight at a young age can have serious long term consequences．As you get older，your eyesight can worsen and lead to things like macular degeneration（黄斑变性），a condition of the eyes for which there is no cure and which can eventually lead to blindness．
With all that in mind，don't you think it's time to give your eyes a break？Try spending a little less time inside and go for a walk in the park，instead．It's the healthy thing to do and your eyes will thank you for it．
7．What does the underlined word"blurry"mean？C
A．Unpopular 
B．Unpleasant
C．Unclear 
D．Unconscious
8．How should the students protect their eyesight according to the passage？B
A．They should study less and less．
B．They should stay longer outdoors．
C．They should wear sunglasses．
D．They should have a longer rest in bed．
9．It can be inferred from the passage thatB is to blame for the poor eyesight of Chinese children．
A．the ever-worsening bad weather
B．the ever-increasing burden of study
C．the ever-decreasing sunny days
D．the ever-decreasing period of study time
10．What is the purpose of this article？D
A．To explain why Chinese students are poor-sighted．
B．To admire Australian children's good eyesight．
C．To criticize the present education system．
D．To call on people to protect Chinese children's eyesight．
