英语试题

第一部分:阅读理解（共两节，满分 40 分）

第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a

young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one

point the woman asked,“So, how have you been?”And the boy who could not have been more than

seven or eight years old replied,“Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”

This incident stuck in my mind because it strengthened my growing belief that children are

changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were“depressed”until we

were in high school.

The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem

childlike any more. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like

adults than they used to.

Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once

was no longer exists. Why?

Human development is based not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of access

to social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets

of the new situation. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages:

traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.

In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation machine has been fixed in 98 percent of

American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, indiscriminately, to all

viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children

turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.

Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the

social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of

symbols that must be memorized and practised. Children must read simple books before they can

read complex materials.

1.Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _________ .

A. through touch with society B. gradually and under guidance

C. naturally and by biological instinct D. through exposure to social information

2.In the author’s opinion, the phenomenon that today’s children seem adultlike is caused by _____.

A. the widespread influence of television B. the poor arrangement of teaching content

C. the fast step of human intellectual development D. the constantly rising standard of

living

3.Why is the author in favor of communication through print for children?

A. It enables children to gain more social information.

B. It develops children’s interest in reading and writing.

C. It helps children to memorize and practise more.

D. It can control what children are to learn.

Endangered languages are languages that wouldn’t exist any longer, much like endangered

species of plants or animals. Languages are considered to be endangered when parents are no longer

teaching the language to their children and are not using it actively in everyday life. A language is

considered to nearly disappear when it is spoken by only a few elderly native speakers.

The world faces enormous challenges in order to protect different kinds of languages. Of the

more than 6,912 languages, half may be in danger of disappearing in the next several decades.

It is caused by many reasons: small numbers of speakers, the regular use of other languages,

attitudes towards their languages, moving of the younger population, government policies, and

languages used in education and so on. A language may lack important things such as a body of

literature, and people who read and write it. A language may also lack prestige (声望) and support of

its speakers.

The survival of a language is also threatened when speakers move to other areas where different

languages are spoken, or when government policies improve the use of a specific language in school,

official business and the media. These situations encourage people to learn the wider-known

language and may cause them, especially the young, to stop using their mother tongue. Often those

speaking lesser-known languages will choose to learn a more prestigious language with the hope of

greater economic opportunities. Most of the world’s parents are teaching their children English,

French, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Russian or some other main languages instead of their own

languages for social and economic reasons.

4.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Languages in the world. B. Reasons why languages become endangered.

C. What an endangered language is. D. Languages spoken by few speakers.

5.About ________languages will probably disappear in this century according to the passage.

A. more than 6,912 B. more than 3,456 C. 6,912 D. less than 3,456

6.Which of the

following best

shows the

structure of the

passage?

=Paragraph1 ① =Paragraph2 ② =Paragraph3 ③ =Paragraph4④

7.We can infer that the best way to maintain an endangered language is to _________.

A. forbid the speakers to move about

B. pass laws to protect the language

C. raise the salaries of the people who speak the language

D. teach the language to young children and encourage people to speak it often

One thing the tour books don’t tell you about London is that 2,000 of its residents are foxes.

They ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now

that the environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home, one of the many wild animals that have

moved into urban areas around the world.

“The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Gomer Jones,

president of the National Institute for Urban Wildlife, in Columbia, Maryland. A survey of the

wildlife in New York’s Central Park last year tallied the species of mammals, including muskrats,

shrews and flying squirrels. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. One
