For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. Increasingly, many 36.__________ (variety) of phrases have been taking over a good old-fashioned "thank you" or "you’re welcome" in daily conversations in the United States. When Americans are 37.__________ (dine) at a restaurant and a waiter comes by to ask them 38.__________they would like more water or bread, do you notice that they often say "I’m good" rather than "no, thank you"? When someone thanks them for holding the door open, "no problem" is almost the same response as "you’re welcome". Does this mean that we no longer make any effort 39.__________(be) polite? Are Americans becoming ruder, abandoning traditional polite phrases, or are the words that they use now just updated versions of the same emotion? According to Lisa Gache, co-founder of Beverly Hills Manners, the decline of these magic words in our everyday conversation is 40.__________(relate) to the preference for all things casual in our society today. Casual conversation, casual dress and casual behaviour are present in all areas of life. And there is little 41.__________(doubtful) that Americans agree with her. A survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports revealed that 76 percent of those surveyed thought that Americans were becoming "ruder and 42.__________(civil)". But is using phrases like "no problem" or "you bet" or "enjoy" really rude? Does more casual phrasing 43.__________(reflection) less gratitude? Doesn’t "no, thank you" sometimes sound a little too formal, perhaps even a little too harsh (刺耳的) when it begins with a "no"? Emily Post, whose great-great-grandmother set the standard on manners with the book Etiquette, thought that 44.__________ the principles of respect and consideration are "universal and timeless", actual manners vary over time and between cultures, so do the words used to express gratitude and appreciation. It’s probably not a bad idea 45. __________(remember) to say "please" and "thank you", but don’t beat yourself up thinking you’re a horrible person if you say "have a good one" instead of "have a nice day". Section C (15 points) Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. published B. changed C. answer D. stayed E. independent F. spelling G. expression H. actually I. written J. borrowing K. increasingly Many students want to know about the differences between American English and British English. How did these differences come about? There is no quick 46. to this question. At first, the language in Britain and America was the same. In 1776, America became an 47. country. After that, the language slowly began to change. For a long time, the language in America 48. the same, while the language in England 49. . For example, 300 years ago, the English talked about “fall”. Today, most British people talk about “autumn”, but Americans still talk about “fall”. In the same way Americans still use the 50. “I guess” (meaning “I think”), just as the British did 300 years ago. At the same time, British English and American English started 51. words from other languages, ending up with different words. For example, the British took “typhoon” from Chinese, while the Americans took “tornado” from Spanish. In 1828, Noah Webster 52. the first American dictionary. He wanted to make American English different from British English, so he changed the 53. of many words. That’s why the words “colour”, “centre” and “traveller” are spelt “color”, “center” and “traveler” in American English. Except for these differences in spelling, 54. English is more or less the same in both British and American English. Now English has become 55. popular. English people have begun to learn the relatively simple American English, and even other countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Canada, South Africa and India, have begun to learn American English. Ⅲ. Reading comprehension Section A (15 points) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word that best fits the context. Listening, speaking, reading and writing are necessary to everyday life, where language is the primary tool for expression and communication. Studying how people use language—what words and phrases we unknowingly ___56___ — can help us better understand ourselves and why we behave the way we do. Linguists attempt to 57 what is individual and general about the language we use. They also try to find how it came into use and the ways it 58 over time. After researches, they consider language as a cultural, social and mental thing. “Understanding why and how languages are different from one another tells us about what is human, and in contrast, discovering what’s 59 about languages can help us understand the heart of our humanity,” said Dan Jurafsky, the Professor in Humanities and chair of the Department of Linguistics at Stanford. The stories below show some of the ways linguists have 60 many parts of language. Stanford linguists have found that even the smallest differences in language use is 61 the speakers’ belief, according to research. One study finds that a(n) 62 harmless sentence, such as “girls are as good as boys at math,” can in some way reflect sexist stereotypes (性别刻板印象). The statement’s grammatical form suggests that being good at math is more 63 for boys than girls, the researchers said. Language can play a(n) 64 role in showing how we and others understand the world. Studying other languages helps us have a better understanding of 65 around the world. People speak about 7,000 languages worldwide. Although there are a lot of similar things among languages, each one is 66 , both in its structure and in the way it reflects the culture of the people who speak it. Jurafsky advised that we shouldn’t only ___67____ our own language — it’s also important to study other languages and how they develop as time changes. They can help us understand what is rooted in humans’ different way of communicating with one another. Linguists study how certain speech models match special 68 , including how language can influence the buying decision or their social media use, and they both vary a lot among people. 69 , in one research paper, a group of Stanford researchers examined the differences in how two parties — Republicans and Democrats, who have different ways of speech, express themselves online. The purpose is to help us know how a(n) 70 difference of beliefs can occur on social media. “Understanding what different groups of people say and why is the first step in deciding how we can help bring people together,” Jurafsky said. 56．A．analyze B．choose C．recall D．pronounce 57．A．create B．range C．determine D．maintain 58．A．changes B．signals C．selects D．strengthens 59．A．confusing B．rewarding C．ironic D．common 60．A．mastered B．researched C．described D．developed 61．A．ahead of B．relevant to C．taken away from D．held back by 62．A．seemingly B．individually C．embarrassingly D．occasionally 63．A．specific B．tempting C．formal D．natural 64．A．faulty B．secondary C．relaxing D．essential 65．A．communication B．harshness C．establishment D．distance 66．A．limited B．useful C．exceptional D．current 67．A．point to B．center around C．leave behind D．argue over 68．A．comments B．achievements C．confusions D．behaviors 69．A．On the contrary B．In summary C．For example D．As a result 70．A．dramatic B．disgusting C．balanced D．slight Section B (22 points) Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids(金字塔). They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. The most famous of these are the step pyramid and the Bent pyramid. Some of the pyramids still look much as they must have been when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stones to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever. The step pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile(尼罗河), the side on which the sun sets. This was for spiritual reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally, it had to be near the capital, or better still, near the king’s palace so that he could visit it easily and personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body. 71. Most of the damage to the pyramids has been caused by ________. A. stones B. rivers C. weather D. men 72. According to the passage, the step pyramid ________. A. is unlikely to fall into ruin in the future B. was built on the sand along the Nile C. is the one that was built later than the true pyramids D. is the most famous of the true pyramids 73. The most important reason why some pyramids remain in good condition is that ________. A. people have taken care of them B. it doesn’t rain often in Egypt C. they were well designed D. the government has protected them from damage 74. The Egyptians built the pyramids along the bank of the Nile because ________ A. they believed in their god B. it was difficult to find a large rock base far from the Nile C. the river helped a lot in the transport of building materials D. it was not easy to choose a suitable place for the pyramids B Washington, D.C.

C One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere, and every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the “last paradise(天堂) on earth”. However, the scale and speed of this growth seem to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of seaside holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal. Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health and education. Its forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise. In fact, the nature all too soon felt the effects of thousands of holiday-makers travelling through the forest land. Ancient tracks became major routes for the walkers, with the consequent exploitation of precious trees and plants. Not only the environment of a country can suffer from the sudden growth of tourism but the people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multinational organisation; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited. No doubt he wonders whether he wasn’t happier in his village working his own land. Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people. The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Their needs and problems are more important than those of the tourist companies. Increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed. 78. What does the author indicate in the last sentence of paragraph 1? A. The Pacific Island is a paradise. B. The Pacific Island is worth visiting. C. The advertisement is not convincing. D. The advertisement is fascinating. 79. The example of Nepal is used to suggest ________. A. its natural resources are untouched B. its forests are exploited for farmland C. it develops well in health and education D. it suffers from the heavy flow of tourists 80. What can we learn about the farmers from paragraph 4? A. They are happy to work their own lands. B. They have to please the tourists for a living. C. They have to struggle for their independence. D. They are proud of working in multi-national organisations. 81. Which of the following determines the future of tourism? A. The number of tourists. B. The improvement of services. C. The promotion of new products. D. The management of tourism. Section C (8 points) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. A. That is the first step if we are to have good relationships with others. B. You might think that it’s because you are not smart enough or don’t have enough talents. C. You can do something to improve the relationships with others. D. Fortunately, there are always things you can do to fix the situation. E. You might be disappointed with yourself on why you make such mistakes. F. Sometimes you might not believe yourself. We often focus on building relationships with others that we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves. 82. How can we have good relationships with others if we don't even have good relationships with ourselves? The problem might be worse than we expect. Maybe we don't like ourselves without realising it. Here is a simple checklist: Is there anything you don't like about yourself from these lists? Your past: Maybe you have made mistakes in the past which you feel bad about. 83. Even if that happened in distant past, your subconscious(潜意识的) mind still has a reason not to like yourself. Your background: You might wish that you were born in a different family, or that you have a different background. Maybe you could not accept the fact that you are not as lucky as others. They seem to get whatever they want effortlessly because of their background. Your personal features: You might have some personality features that you don't like. For example, you may be introverted(内向的) and you don't like it; you wish you were an extrovert. Others might have better achievements than you, and no matter how hard you tried, it might seem impossible for you to match them. 84. Is there anything that resonates(共鸣) with you? All these give reasons to you not to like yourself. That in turn makes it difficult for you to be a good friend to yourself. 85. Here are some tips: Forgive yourself; Accept things you can't change; Focus on your strengths; Write your success stories; Stop comparing yourself with others; Always be true to yourself. IV. Translation (20 points) Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets. 86. 这本小说写得太好了，以至于我移不开眼。(tear) 87. 每次我旅游的时候，我尽力找几家不错的餐厅，品尝一些美食。（effort） 88. 结果证明水资源的短缺是一个相当重要的问题。（turn out） 89. 电话里说好的马上送到，但是我们等了一个小时，午餐还没有送达。（deliver） 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
