阅读理解(Reading Comprehension)

　　Is it possible that the people of the world today could agree upon a single international language that everyone would be able to speak and understand?

　　In the United Nations there are five official languages－English, Chinese, Russian, French and Spanish．How about making one of them into an international language?English has been worked on for this purpose．A basic word list of 850 English words named Basic English was made．These are the only verbs in the entire list, “come, go, give, keep, let, do, put, make, say, be, seem, may, will, have, send．”Writing in Basic English may require you to use a greater number of wordsas in having to say“It came to my ears”instead of I heard－but you can still say anything you want to with just 850 different words and a few sufixes(后缀)and prefixes(前缀)．This is a much smaller number of words to have to remember than the ordinary number offered to the students of a foreign language．

　　But people have always had a need to do more than simply“Tell it as it is”．Language is for reporting not only one's work．For this, a language needs idioms, needs all kinds of grammar and style(文体)that show its history and development just as a person needs eyebrows(眉毛)．Is there some special reason why our lips should be a different color from the rest of our face?Perhaps not, but this is how people－real people－are．For communication between people, languages of all kinds will remain to reflect(反映)the growth and soul of the societies that speak them．

(1)

The phrase“tell it as it is”in the third paragraph means ________．
[　　]
A．	people can use Basic English to say what they want to
B．	people think Basic English can express what they see or hear
C．	people say what they want to according to the fact
D．	people tell something they like to

(2)

If we write a composition in Basic English, it will be ________．
[　　]
A．	longer than usual
B．	shorter than usual
C．	hard for us to express what we want to
D．	able to express ourselves in different style as we like to

(3)

Which of the following Statements is NOT true?
[　　]
A．	Basic English is easier for students to learn．
B．	Languages are like mirrors which can reflect the growth of the mankind．
C．	Grammar and idioms are still necessary for us when we are learning a language．
D．	Basic English will take the place not only of Queen's English, but also of the other languages in the world．

(4)

This passage begins with a question．According to the writer's opinion, the answer to the question may be ________．
[　　]
A．	it will be possible in the future
B．	it seems to be possible if people agree to use Basic English
C．	it seems impossible that people can use a simple language to express themselves in various lives
D．	it is impossible except that five official UN languages are used at the same time

(5)

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
[　　]
A．	The words used in Basic English are strictly limited to 850, and nothing more．
B．	Basic English is not a natural development of the English language．
C．	Basic English can be used to express our thought easily．
D．	Basic English seems not so easy to learn．

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　The moon is made of ice－cream．Little green men live in the center of the earth．Nearly everyone tells lies．Only the third statement is true．Or at least that is what Dr．Robert Feldman of the University of Massachusetts says．Dr．Feldman conducted an experiment in which he asked 240 students to talk to each other for minutes．He filmed the conversations and then asked the students to watch themselves to confirm if all that they had said was true．

　　It turned out that nearly all of them had lied at least once．It seems that we not only lie, we do it naturally and without thinking．

　　“It's so easy to lie, ” said Dr．Feldman “We teach our children to be honest, but also to be polite and avoid offending people．Kids get a mixed message and that affects how they behave as adults．”

　　According to Dr．Wendy Gamble of the University of Arizona, kids don't need any instructions in lying．It comes naturally to them．Dr Gamble, a psychologist, has identified four different types of lies that both children and adults tell．The “pro－social” lie is told to help or protect other people．The “self－enhancement” lie is told by someone who wants to look good to other people．The “selfish lie” protects the speaker by harming someone else．And worst of all, the “anti－social” lie is told for the pleasure of getting someone else into trouble．

　　According to Dr．Feldman, men and women lie in different ways as well．“Women are more likely to lie to make the person they are with feel good．Men lie to make themselves look better, ” he says．The husband tells his wife he's due for a promotion at work．“Of course you are, ” she replies．

　　“Honesty is the basis of healthy relationships, ” says Dr．Gamble．“But rather than dismiss all lying as bad, we should reflect that deception is common and often socially acceptable．”

　　Perhaps we already do．In the English language, the word liar is usually only used to describe the person who tells selfish or anti－social lies．The rest are referred to as “white lies” ．These are joke words which show that we can tolerate people who don't tell the truth all the time．If people did not make up stories, there would be no literature, poetry or films．

　　Some psychologists argue that the lies people tell each other help hold society together．They make us feel good about each other and ourselves and encourage tolerance and trust．Just think what the world would be like if everybody said exactly what they thought all the time．

　　Yet there are times when people also need to hear the truth．It would be wrong to say that lying makes the world go round．It's the little green men in the center of the earth who do that．

(1)

It is ________, according to Dr Gamble, that makes people lie．
[　　]
A．	parents’ instructions
B．	school education
C．	social experiences
D．	human nature

(2)

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
[　　]
A．	The little green men in the center of the earth make the world go round．
B．	Lies are actually common and acceptable in daily lives but not all are bad．
C．	We should always tolerate people who don't tell the truth all the time．
D．	The world would be lovely if everybody told exactly what they thought．

(3)

In paragraph 5, the wife said “Of course you are” to ________．
[　　]
A．	make her husband feel great
B．	build up her husband's confidence
C．	show her love to her husband
D．	help with her husband's promotion

(4)

“I never tell lies” is a(an) ________ ．
[　　]
A．	“pro－social” lie
B．	“self－enhancement” lie
C．	selfish lie
D．	“anti－social” lie

Hopefully，your friends can stop being angry with you．But don’t be 51 if it doesn’t happen instantly．Some people are quick to 52 ．Others may have to think about what you said and need 53 to get over hurt feelings or anger , or to regain trust．Do your best with the part that’s up to you．The rest is up to them．

Stop being angry with yourself，too．You can learn from your 54 ．Being too self-critical can’t help you．Move forward．Focus your energies on trying to make things right 55 working on your good intentions!
