       I have said enough to you about the fact that no two native speakers of English speak it alike, but perhaps you are clever enough to ask me whether I myself speak it in the same way.

I must    21     at once that I do not. Nobody does. I am at present speaking to an audience of many thousands of gramophonists（学话者）, many of    22     are trying hard to follow my words, syllable by syllable. If I were to speak to you as carelessly as I speak to my wife at home, this record would be    23    ; and if I were to speak to my wife at home as carefully as I am speaking to you, she would think that I was going mad.

As a public speaker I have to take care that every word I say is heard clearly at the far    24    of large halls containing thousands of people. “But at home, when I have to consider only my wife sitting    25     six feet of me at breakfast, I take so little pains with my speech that very often,    26     giving me the expected answer, she says, “Don’t mumble, and don’t turn you head away when you speak. I can’t hear a word you are saying.” And she also is a little careless. Sometimes I have to say “what” two or three times during our meal. And she    27     me of growing deafer and deafer, though she does not say so, because, as I am now over seventy, it might be true.

We all have company manners. If you were to    28     a strange family and to listen through the keyhole before going in---not that I would suggest for a moment that you are capable of doing such a very unladylike or ungentlemanlike thing; but still, if, in your enthusiasm for studying languages you could bring yourself to do it just for a few seconds to hear how a family speak to one another when there is    29     listening to them, and then walk into the room and hear how very    30     they speak in your presence, the change would surprise you. Even when our home manners are as good as our company manners---and of course they ought to be better --- they are always different; and the difference is greater in speech than in anything else.

21.  A. admit                     B. accept               C. refuse               D. deny

22.  A. them                B. who                  C. whom               D. us

23    A. useful               B. important          C. useless              D. helpful

24.  A. side                 B. end                   C. distance             D. length

25.   A. within               B. at                            C. from                 D. by

26.   A. other than         B. except for          C. apart form         D. instead of

27.   A. excuses             B. suspects             C. thinks               D. accuses

第一节：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

       阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41—55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

(A)

We're all connected. You can send an e-mail message to a friend, and your friend can pass it on to one of his or her friends, and that friend can do the same, continuing the chain. Eventually, your message could reach just about anyone in the world, and it might take only five to seven e-mails for the message to get there.

Scientists recently tested that idea in a study involving 24,000 people. Participants had to try to get a message forwarded to one of 18 randomly chosen people. Each participant started by sending one e-mail to someone they knew. Recipients could then forward the e-mail once to someone they knew, and so on.

Targets, who were randomly assigned by researchers from Columbia University in New York, lived in 13 countries. They included an Australian police officer, a Norwegian veterinarian, and a college professor.

Out of 24,000 chains, only 384 reached their goal. The rest petered out, usually because one of the recipients was either too busy to forward the message or thought it was junk mail.

The links that reached their goal made it in an average of 4.05 e-mails. Based on the lengths of the failed chains, the researchers estimated that two strangers could generally make contact in five to seven e-mails.

The most successful chains relied on casual acquaintances rather than close friends. That's because your close friends know each other whereas your acquaintances tend to know people you don't know. The phenomenon, known as the strength of weak ties, explains why people tend to get jobs through people they know casually but aren't that close to.

So, start networking and instant messaging now. As they say in show business: It's all about who you know.

41. If you want to get into touch with a stranger in the world, how many e-mails might it take for the message to reach him/her?

42. Which of the following is Not true about the test?

43. What does the word “estimate” mean in the passage?

44. Why do people tend to get jobs more easily through casual acquaintances than close friends?

A

Catherine Destivelle is a rock star. She loves rock, but she can’t sing or play the guitar! She is a rock climber and a big star in France and Italy. She is the most famous woman climber in the world because she often climbs without ropes. She climbs in many countries but most often in the French Alps near Chamonix, where she lives. She started climbing near her home in Paris when she was five. he French Alpine Club to learn more, but immediately she climbed better and more quickly than the older members of the club. She won her first competition in Italy in 1995.

Three years ago she found a new route up the Dru Mountain near Chamonix. The climb took eleven days and for four days the snow was so heavy that she could not move. Last year other climbers tried to follow the new Destivelle Route, but they failed. They are going to try again this  year.

People always ask her about her climbing. She says, “I climb because I’m in love with mountains. I like touching the rock and reading the face of the rock. I like it a lot. I felt at home on the side of a mountain. I prepare well before I go, so I’m never worried.”

Catherine chooses new mountains from books—like buying from a shopping catalogue (目录)! “I see a nice mountain and I go to climb it!” Her next mountain is in Pakistan.
