分析 --你为什么没有来参加今天早晨的报告?

1.English may not be a world language forever
While 375 million people around the globe use English as their native language,the number of people using it as a second language has already been well over that figure (数字).
It is said that by the end of 2000,one billion people could use English to communicate with others,including both native speakers and non-native speakers.
"The rise and fall of a language is closely connected with that country's economic(经济的) strength and development potential (潜力)."Rhodri Jones,the English 2000 manager of the ELT group of the British Council said.
An expert who has given many lectures on the future of English said the economic boots(快速发展)in Asia would raise(提高) the position of the Chinese and Hindi languages.Therefore,the English language is facing a serious problem.Where will English turn in the next fifty years or the century?
The recently introduced book from Britain"Future of English"might give people concerned with their question some enlightenments (启发).The book helps to help English teachers,planners,managers and decision makers with a professional interest in the development of English worldwide.
With the book translated into Chinese and to be published soon,the book might be brought to wider sphere (范围)of people.
"From the book,we learn many facts about the English language,and we may be able to predict (预测) its future after reading it."said Dorothy Humphrey,who used to be a senior English teacher for the British Council.

2.What does the word"home"mean to you?How do you say the word in French?In Spanish?In your language?Although people usually know what the word means,it often has no exact translation.It's not surprising really,because the idea of home differs from country to country,and from person to person.A home is more than a roof and four walls.It's the cooking,eating,talking,playing and family living that go on inside,which are important as well.And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.
But it's not just that homes look different in different countries,they also contain different things and reveal(显示) different attitudes and needs.For example,in cold northern Europe,there's a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it.In the south,where the sun shines a lot and it's more important to keep the heat out,there are small windows,cool stone floors and often no carpets.We asked some people about their homes.
How often do people move house in your country?
"In my country many people don't stay in one place for a very long time.They often move every ten years or so."
Cheryl,Boston,USA
What are typical features of homes in your country?
"In Britain,even in town there's always a garden and sometimes a cellar(地下室).We have separate bedrooms and living rooms.But we don't often have balconies (阳台).The weather isn't warm enough!"
-Pat,Exeter,England
55.Which one is true according to the passage?B
A.People in Britain seldom have balconies because it's so hot outside.
B."Home"is a place where you feel safe and relaxed.
C.Although homes look different in different countries,they have the same needs.
D.Houses in northern Europe always have big windows and cool stone floors.
56.The word"home"has no exact translation becauseC.
A.people can't find this word in the dictionary
B.no one knows what it is
C.it has different meanings in different countries

57.You canB at home according to the passage.
A.eat,play,and teach students     
B.cook,talk,and play games
C.swim,eat,and make friends       
D.do nothing
58.Why is it important to keep the heat out of the houses in southern Europe?D
A.Because they want to breathe fresh air outside.
B.Because there's a fire in the living room.
C.Because they wear heavy clothing all day long.
D.Because the sun there shines a lot.
19.A new study found evidence of aggressive behavior in children who have four or more servings of soft drinks every day.
Information for the study came from the mothers of 3,000five-year-olds.Researchers asked the women to keep a record of how many servings of soft drinks their children drank over a two-month period.The women were also asked to complete a checklist of their children's behavior.
The researchers found that 43percent of the boys and girls drank at least one daily serving of soda.Four percent of the youngsters had four or more sodas to drink every day.
Shakira Suglia is with Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health in New York City.She worked on the study with researchers from the University of Vermont and Harvard University School of Public Health.She says they found that children who drank the most soda were more than two times as likely as those who drank no soda to show signs of aggression.
"For the children who consumed four or more soft drinks per day,we see an association between aggressive behaviors,attention problems and withdrawn behaviors."
The aggressive behaviors included destroying possessions belonging to others,taking part in fights and physically attacking people.
Shakira Suglia says the researchers identified the link after they considered ocio-demographic factors like the child's age and sex.They also considered other possible influences,such as hether the boys and girls were eating sweets or given fruit drinks on a normal day.In addition,the researchers examined parenting styles and other social conditions that might be taking place in the home.
Doctor Suglia says it is not clear why young children who drink a lot of soda have behavior problems.
"We can't prove that this is a direct cause and effect relationship.Having said that,there are a lot of ingredients in soda,a lot of ingredients that have not been examined in relation to behavior."
A substance often found in soft drinks is caffeine,which helps to make people feel energized.Doctor Suglia suggests that caffeine could be causing the five year olds to be more aggressive.
The research is part of a larger study called the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study.It follows 5,000poor mothers and their children in 20American cities.
Earlier studies of young adults have found the highest sugar levels in those who carry weapons and show signs of negative social behavior.
59.What's the purpose of writing this passage?B
A.To persuade parents to forbid their children have soft drinks.B.To present the result of a study.
C.To show why children are aggressive                    D.To scold the products of soft drink
60.The children who consumed four or more soft drinks per day may do the following thingsC.
a.ask for more drinks    b.destroying possessions belonging to others    c.carry weapons
d.taking part in fights    e.physically attack people        f.be negative to society
A.a,b,c            B.c,e,f           C.b,d,e          D.b,d,f
61.From the passage we can infer that in order to help control the children's behaviors,parents shouldD.

A.fruit            B.caffeine           C.sugar           D.soda.
6.Why play games?Because they are fun,and a lot more besides.Following the rules…planning your next move…acting as a team member…these are all"game"ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child,such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek(捉迷藏).Some games are entertaining and fun.But perhaps more importantly,they translate into exciting dreams that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives,such as taking turns and cooperating(合作).
Many children's games have a practical side.Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups.For instance,some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones,which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting.
Many sports encourage national or local pride.The most famous games of all,the Olympic Games,bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition.People who watch the event wave flags,knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country,not just the athlete who earned it.For countries experiencing natural disasters or war,an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports are also an event that unites people.Soccer is the most popular sport in the world.People on all continents play it--some for fun and some for a living.Nicolette Iribarne,a Californian soccer player,has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer.He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.
Next time you play your favorite game or sport,think about why you enjoy it,what skills are needed,and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.
52.The underlined part in Paragraph 2most probably means that games canC.
A.describe life in an exciting way
B.turn real-life experiences into a play
C.make learning life skills more interesting

C.It helps the country out of natural disasters.
D.It earns the winners fame and fortunes.

16.It was unusually quiet in the emergency room on December 25.
I was nurse on duty that day.I didn't think there would be any patients,sighing about having to work on Christmas.Just then five bodies showed up at my desk,a pale woman and four small children.
"Are you all sick?"I asked suspiciously.
"Yes,"she said weakly and lowered her head.
But when it came to descriptions of their presenting problems,things got a little vague.Two of the children had headaches,but the headaches weren't accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head or trying to keep it still.Two children had earaches,but only one could tell me which ear was affected.The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.
Something was wrong,but I didn't say anything but explained that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her.She responded,"Take your time; it's warm here."
On a hunch (出于直觉),I checked the chart after the admitting clerk had finished registering the family.No address---they were homeless.The waiting room was warm.
I looked out at the family huddled by the Christmas tree.The little one was pointing at the television and exclaiming something to her mother.The oldest one was looking at an ornament on the Christmas tree.
I went back to the nurses'station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room.The nurses,grumbling about working Christmas,turned to compassion for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas.The team went into action,much as we do when there's a medical emergency.But this one was a Christmas emergency.
We were all offered a free meal in the hospital cafeteria on Christmas Day,so we claimed that meal and prepared a banquet for our Christmas guests.We needed presents.We put together oranges and apples in a basket.We collected from different departments candies,crayons and other things available that could be presents.As seriously as we met the physical needs of the patients that came to us that day,our team worked to meet the needs,and exceed the expectations,of a family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day.
Later,as the family walked to the door to leave,the four year old came running back,gave me a hug and whispered,"Thanks for being our angels today."
67.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A
A.Working Christmas Day     
B.Christmas Day is Coming
C.A Happy Family           
D.A Pale Woman and Four Small Children
68.What kind of person do you think the author is?C
A.Hardworking and outgoing      
B.Serious and careful
C.Hardworking and warmhearted   
D.Serious and stubborn
69.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?D
A.Something was wrong with one of the children's heads.
B.The pale woman forgot to write the address.
C.The author did not understand the truth.
D.The children's mother told a lie.
70.It can be inferred from the text thatD.
