第1题：
Animals are friends of human beings, so the languages of all nations contain a lot of words about animals. Certain words for animals do carry similar denotative and connotative meanings in both languages. In English, for instance, “dove” is often related to “peace”, and in Chinese we have a similar term “和平鸽”. Another example is that “fox” and “狐狸” both imply the quality of “being sly”, as is obvious in the idioms of “as sly as a fox” and “像狐狸一样狡猾”.
However, there are many words with the same denotative meanings but different connotative meanings. For instance, “bat” is an evil animal in European folk legends. The English idioms like “as blind as a bat” and “as crazy as a bat” give explanation by themselves. But many Chinese people believe that “bat” is the symbol of good luck, health and happiness. This is mainly because in “蝙蝠” “蝠” is pronounced the same with “福” (good fortune) in “幸福” (happiness) and “洪福” (limitless blessing).
Still, there are many other words whose denotative and connotative meanings are both different in English and Chinese. For example, in the western world, “dragon” is a fire-spitting mythical animal, signifying violence, as in “He is a bit of dragon here.” By contrast, most Chinese people regard “龙” (Long) as a symbol of dignity and power, as in the idiom “望子成龙” (hold high hopes for one’s child).
1. Some English words about animals carry both denotative and connotative meanings.()
A.True
B.False
2. Many words from Chinese and English are the same in both the denotational meanings and connotational meanings, such as “fox” and “狐狸”.()
A.True
B.False
3. The Chinese word “蝙蝠” carries the same connotative meanings with the English word “bat”.()
A.True
B.False
4. The Chinese word “龙” carries the same denotative meaning with the English word “dragon”.()
A.True
B.False
5.“He is a bit of dragon here.” The equivalent Chinese version of this sentence is: 他在这一带为非作歹。()
A.True
B.False

第2题：
You should spend no more than 40 minutes on this task. As part of a class assignment you have to write about the following topic. Millions of people every year move to English-speaking countries such as Australia , Britain or America , in order to study at school, college or university. Why do so many people want to study in English ? Why is English such an important international language? Give reasons for your answer. You should write at least 250 words.
正确答案：I am not surprise when I read in the newspapers that many people move to English speaking countries. I am an engineer in a process control since ten years and I understand the necessity of English language. For example when I read technical English specifications when I meet Japanese industrials to build together some electronic materials or when I go on holidays in Italy where the best way(for me)to communicate is to speak English. Therefore today it"s necessary to learn English and the best way is to study in English as soon as possible when we are at school but also when we have a job. It"s so important to communicate with foreigners because of work. For example: to sell foods in USA to build electronic cards with the Japanese to obtain a certification with FDA(American organization)in order to sell some pharmaceutical products. In fact it"s important for everybody: the workers the visitors the scientists etc... These are the main reason which explain why so many people go to English speaking countries(the best way to learn)and why English is such an important international language(the communication between many the people over the world).

A Debate on the English Language
A measure declaring English the national language is under intense debate in the United States .The US Senate passed two declarations last week.One calls English the nation's official lan-guage and the other says it is the “common and unifying（统一的）”tongue. But Americans found themselves divided on the issue.
Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English,many can't understand
why the issue is so controversial（有争议的）.
“The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues,”says Dick Tucker,a social scientist at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University.“It's related to a worry about the changing demography （人口统计）of the US It's a worry about who will continue to have political and economic influence.”
In fact,the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation's founding. John Adams lobbied（游说）in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language.But his proposal died,since lawmakers saw it as a roy-alist（保皇主义者）attempt to define personal behavior.
Since then,the country hasn't had a national language,but the idea of recognizing the special status of English lived on.
The emotions surrounding language resurface（再次浮现）not because people feel comfortable with English .It is more about the discomfort many Americans feel with the new languages,says Walt Wolfram,a professor at North Carolina State University.
“Language is never about language,”he says.
According to the 2000 US Census Bureau report,of 209 million Americans over 18 years old, 172 million speak only English at home.About 37 million speak languages other than English. Among them,6 .5 million speak poor English and 3 .1 million don't speak English at all.Which statement is true according to the 2000 US Census Bureau report?
A: 172 million Americans speak only English in their workplaces.
B: 37 million Americans speak English.
C: 209 million Americans are above the age of 18.
D: 6.5 million Americans speak good English.答案：C解析：本题问“两个宣言关切到什么？”文章的第一句话是这么说的：在美国，一个宣布英语是国语的措施正在经受着激烈的争论。然后文章说到美国参议院上周通过了两个宣言。一个宣言把英语叫做国家的官方语言；另一个宣言说英语是通用的、起统一作用的语言。可见这两个宣言涉及英语的地位问题，因此A项是正确的。
本题问“谁在18世纪就建议英语应该得到保护？”第四段有这样一句话：John Adams lobbied in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language. 1780年John Adams曾游说建立一个国家研究院，致力于纠正并修改英语。可见正确的选择应该是John Adams。
本题问“下面的哪一方面跟目前的争论无关？”第三段提到A、B和C，唯有D没有提到。D说的是“美国的军事力量”。
本题问“根据2000年美国人口普查局的报告，哪个命题是真的？”最后一段话的第一个句子是这么说的：根据2000年美国人口普查局的报告，18岁以上美国人有两亿九百万人。所以C项是对的。其他选项都把两亿九百万人当作了美国的总人口，因而是错误的。
本题问“kicked around最有可能被哪个词替换？”这个短语出现在下面这个句子中：In fact,the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation's founding．事实上，保护这一语言的思想几乎从这个国家建立时就开始讨论了。这个短语的意义可以从上下文中推出。 -

第8题：
问答题Passage 2 Broadly 1 , the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows 2 . In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems inhibited, 3 embarrassed. You have only to witness a commuter train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit 4 their newspapers or dozing in a corner: 5 one speaks. Obviously, there is here an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior 6 , if broken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion. It is a well-known fact that the English have a passion 7 the discussion of their weather and that, given half a chance, they will talk about it at 8 . Some people argue that it is because English weather defies forecast and hence is a source of interest and speculation to everyone. This may be so. Certainly Englishmen cannot have much faith in the 9 , who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved 10 when a cloud over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts! The man in the street seems to be as accurate -- or as inaccurate -- as the weathermen in his predictions. The overseas visitors may be excused for showing surprise at the number of references to weather that the English 11 to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are replaced by comments 12 the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it? Beautiful!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?” Although the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used 13 his advantage. If he wants to start a conversation with an Englishman but is 14 a loss to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe 15 which wills provoke an answer from even the most reserved of Englishmen.正确答案： 1. speaking 空格后面的句子是对英国人的一个整体概括。broadly speaking广义地说,泛泛地说。
2. well 句子前面部分提到英国人安静、害羞,并且保守。由此推知,他们只有在自己熟悉的人面前才会完全放松。空格部分修饰动词knows,因此填入well。
3. even/or 由空格前后的inhibited(拘谨的)与embarrassed(尴尬的,局促不安的)两个词可以看出,它们在意义上是相近的,并且构成一定的递进关系(后者表达的语气比前者强),所以此处填even(甚至)或者or(或者)。
4. reading read newspapers读报纸。注意使用动名词形式reading,接在动词sit的后面。
5. no 句意:面容严肃的商人和妇女坐着读报,或者在角落里打盹:没有人说话。空格处填入no,使得上下文语意连贯。
6. which 分析句子结构,空格后面为定语从句,修饰behavior。因此填入which。
7. for have a passion for sth.“对某事怀有强烈的感情,爱好”,为固定搭配
8. length at length“最后;终于;详细地”,这里指详细地讨论天气。
9. weathermen 此处考查上下文语境。空格后面接who引导定语从句,由此可知,空格处应该填入表示人物的词。又由于下文把“The man in the street”与“the weathermen”进行对比可知,本题空格应该介绍的是the weathermen的情况。weatherman天气预报员;气象员。
10. wrong 空格前面提到天气预报员预报的是晴天,空格后面提到的是下雨天,由此可知,天气预报员的报道有误。此处填wrong。
11. make 分析句子结构,that后面接定语从句修饰references to weather。make references to…参照……,参考……。
12. on comment on sth.评价某物。
13. to to one’s advantage对某人有利。
14.at at a loss困惑,茫然,不知所措。
15. subject/topic 从上文中可知,谈论天气状况是一个安全的话题。因此填入subject或者topic。解析： 暂无解析 -

问答题What do you know about the English Renaissance?正确答案： Renaissance was the revival of classical literature and artistic styles in European history. It began in Italy in the early 14th century and spread to England in the late 15th century.
The English Renaissance had 5 characteristics:
(1) English culture was revitalized not so much directly by the classics as by contemporary Europeans under the influence of the classics;
(2) England as an insular country followed a course of social and political history which was to a great extent independent of the course of history else where in Europe;
(3) Owning to the great genius of the 14th century poet Chaucer, the native literature was vigorous enough and experienced in assimilating foreign influences without being subjected by them;
(4) English Renaissance literature is chiefly artistic, rather than philosophical and scholarly;
(5) the Renaissance coincided with the Reformation in England. The English Renaissance was largely literary, and achieved its finest expression in the so-called Elizabethan drama. Its finest exponents were Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, and William Shakespeare.解析： 暂无解析 -

A. on B. in C. of D. to正确答案： 1.C 考查介词用法。in表示“在…内”;at表示“位于”;to表示“向,去”;0f表示所属关系。由于这里指的是“到英国旅游的游客”,所以选C。
2.A 考查动词辨义。say说;ask问;tell告诉;talk谈论。因为空格后是一个直接引语,且引语不是问句,所以只能选A。tell应用人作间接宾语、直接引语作直接宾语;talk为不及物动词。
3.C 考查形容词辨义与上下文理解。由空格前两个并列句与常识可知,填人的形容词应与not good同义,故选含否定义的terrible(糟糕的),wonderful精彩的,极妙的;nice好的,优雅的;special特别的。
4.C 考查副词与上下文理解。由句意与常识可知,只有当人们没有机会实践时他们才会得出错误的结论,所以此处选含否定义的副词seldom(很少),always总是,一直;often常常。never(从不)虽然也是否定副词,但它过于绝对,与常识不符。
5.B 考查代词用法与上下文理解。many不与of连用;most of指“大部分”;all of指“所有”;none of指“没有一个”。很明显,C、D两项都过于绝对,根据常识即可排除。
6.B 考查名词辨义与上下文理解。visitor游客;owner拥有者,老板;waiter侍者,服务生;guest客人。由于本句中and前后是顺承关系,表达的实际上是一种较弱的因果关系,而A、C、D三项都无法必然使饭店供应外国饭菜,所以B最恰当。
7.A 考查动词辨义与上下文理解。invite邀请;make使,制造;offer提供;ask要求。游客当然是被邀请到别人家里去吃饭,所以选A。
8.C 考查形容词辨义与上下文理解。different不同的;usual通常的;常见的;foreign外国的,不熟悉的;delicious美味的。由于全文谈论的都是外国游客对英国饭菜的印象,所以这里选与这一主旨有关的 C。这一句的意思是,邀请了游客到家里来吃饭时,英国人觉得不应当让客人吃英国饭菜,而应当做一些外国饭菜,所以才让人觉得英国饭菜不好。
9.B 考查从句连接词。先行词是人,填人的连接词在从句中作主语,故选who。
10.D 考查情态动词。should表示“应当”;must表示“必须”;may表示“也许”;can表示“能够,可能”。由句意及空格后表强调的副词really可知,应当选can。
11.B 考查固定搭配与上下文关系。at the same time同时;on the other hand另一方面;for example例如;in another word换句话说。前面一句说的是对于那些了解英国饭菜的人来说,英国饭菜真的很好,而空格后说的则是对于另外一些人来说英国饭菜很糟糕,前后明显是对立的关系,故选B。
12.C 考查副词形式。some time指“一些时间”;sometime指将来或过去的“某个时候”;sometimes指“有时,间或”;some times形式不对。本题指的是一种常见的情况,不指过去或将来,故选C。
13.A 考查名词与上下文理解。前文谈论的是游客对英国饭菜的好坏有两种相互对立的印象,这无疑是一个“问题”(problem),本句即是指出这一问题的部分(原因)所在,选A。其余三项都不合本文逻辑: question(需要回答的)问题,疑问;answer答案;time时间,次数。
14.C 考查动词搭配。由空格后的time和cooking这一现在分词形式可知,应选spend,构成spend time (in) doing sth.这一固定搭配。其余三项都不能这样用。
15.C 考查形容词与上下文理解。由空格前表并列的连词and及句意可知,应选与simple属于同一范畴和词性的easy(容易的,轻松的)。
16.B 考查介词。将食物加热当然是在吃饭之前,因此选介词before。
17.D 考查介词与上下文理解。near靠近,接近;inside在…内部around围绕,在…周围;away from远离。由空格前后country(乡村)与large towns(大城镇)的相对关系可知,选D最恰当。
18.B 考查从句连接词。先行词是country(乡村),表示的是地点,而填入的词在从句中又是作状语,故选where。注意,先行词不是large towns。
19.A 考查上下文关系。前文谈论的都是游客对英国食物好坏的印象及原因,并且空格前一句说的是在哪些地方可以找到最好的英国饭菜;而空格后说的则是游客并非是为了饭菜而来英国的,两者之间存在明显的转折关系,故选but。
20.C 考查固定搭配。空格后是一个名词,因此应填人一个介词。能与because连用的介词是of,构成固定搭配because of(因为,由于)。解析： 暂无解析 -
第13题：
For any Englishman there can never be any discussion as to who is the world's greatest writer. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him：that of William Shakespeare.
Every Englishman has some knowledge of his work. All of us use words and phrases from Shakespeare's writings that have become a part of the English-speaking people.
Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand!
There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare's day.
1). From the first two sentences of the passage we can conclude that ________.
A. it can't be discussed about who is the world's greatest dramatist
B. Shakespeare is regarded as the greatest writer
C. Englishmen like to discuss about who is the world's greatest writer
D. it can't be discussed about who is the world's greatest poet
2). According to the passage many English words and phrases that we use today are from _____.
A. Englishmen
B. English speaking people
C. Shakespeare's works
D. ancient people
3). To learn the richness of the English language, people should ______.
A. write and read more
B. be glad to be a foreigner
C. learn from an English man
D. read Shakespeare's plays
4). The author does not suggest beginners reading Shakespeare's plays probably because _____.
A. only Englishmen can understand his plays
B. some of English usage and the meaning of many words have changed
C. the works are too difficult for a beginner
D. the works are for native speakers
5). In this passage the author wants to _______.
A. tell how great a writer Shakespeare is
B. tell that some aspects of English usage have changed since Shakespeare's day
C. tell that some English words are out of use now
D. show the richness of English language

English and English Community
1There is no doubt that English is a useful language.The people who speak English
today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of
Chinese.
2 A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities.The people who make up
the community share a common language.Often they live side by side,as they do in a
neighborhood（街坊）,a village,or a city. More often they form a whole country. National
boundaries,however,are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community.
A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where
they happen to live.
3 We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community.
For convenience（方便）,we may divide the speakers into two groups:one in which the
speakers use English as their native language,the other in which the speakers learn English
as a second language for the purpose of education,commerce,and so on.
4 Learning a second language extends one's vision and expands the mind.The history
and literature of a second language record the real and fictional（虚构的）lives of people
and their culture;a knowledge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they
feel .Learning English as a second language provides another means of communication
through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our
heritage.Many people learn English as___________.
A: a second language
B: the same language
C: the same speech community

Teaching aims:
Knowledge aims:
Students will know about the relation between shadow and the sun through reading the passage.
Students will master the usage of comparative degree in the reading.
Ability aim:
Students will apply the comparative degree to retell the story.
Emotional aim:
Students will be more interest in learning English.
Key and difficult point:
Key Point: Students will master the usage of comparative degree in the reading.
Difficult Point: Students will apply the comparative degree to retell the story.
Teaching procedure:
Step 1: Warming-up
1. Greetings.
2. Play a riddle--it rises up and goes down every day, what is it? and students guess it’s the sun, then lead to the story about the sun.
Step 2: Pre-reading
According to the word “sun”, students have a brainstorm about what natural phenomenon about sun they have known.
Step 3: While-reading
1. Fast reading: students read the passage fast and figure out what the tree and the duck are talking about.
2. Careful reading: students read the passage carefully and answer the question: why does the shadow get longer when the sun gets lower? And underline the words with “er”.
3. The teacher explains the words with “er” to the students.
Step4: Post-reading
1. Students work in pairs to make a role-play (one is the little duck, the other is the old tree) to make a conversation according to the passage.
2. Students work in groups to find the real reason why the shadow gets longer when the sun gets lower.
Step5: Summary and Homework
Summary: ask a student to conclude the content of the lesson and summarize with the whole class.
Homework: students tell the story to their parents.
Blackboard design:
1.Do you think repeated practice is suitable for English learning?
2.What do you think of English class activities such as role-play?答案：解析：1.
Reciting is a way of practicing. There is a gap between understanding English and using English. For students, even if they think they can remember what they learn in class, after class while applying the knowledge taught in class, it possibly doesn’t work very well. So it is a practice way but we can not only use it. We need to use more practice ways together reciting to ensure the effect of teaching and learning.
2.
English class activities play an important role in English teaching. These performances can stimulate students' interest in learning English, mobilize students' enthusiasm for learning English, activate classroom atmosphere, reduce students' learning pressure, help students overcome fear of English learning, cultivate students' participation awareness, cooperation spirit and leadership ability. -

A Debate on the English Language
A measure declaring English the national language is under intense debate in the United States .The US Senate passed two declarations last week.One calls English the nation's official lan-guage and the other says it is the “common and unifying（统一的）”tongue. But Americans found themselves divided on the issue.
Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English,many can't understand
why the issue is so controversial（有争议的）.
“The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues,”says Dick Tucker,a social scientist at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University.“It's related to a worry about the changing demography （人口统计）of the US It's a worry about who will continue to have political and economic influence.”
In fact,the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation's founding. John Adams lobbied（游说）in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language.But his proposal died,since lawmakers saw it as a roy-alist（保皇主义者）attempt to define personal behavior.
Since then,the country hasn't had a national language,but the idea of recognizing the special status of English lived on.
The emotions surrounding language resurface（再次浮现）not because people feel comfortable with English .It is more about the discomfort many Americans feel with the new languages,says Walt Wolfram,a professor at North Carolina State University.
“Language is never about language,”he says.
According to the 2000 US Census Bureau report,of 209 million Americans over 18 years old, 172 million speak only English at home.About 37 million speak languages other than English. Among them,6 .5 million speak poor English and 3 .1 million don't speak English at all.What are the two declarations concerned with?
A:.The status of the English language.
B: The protection of new languages.
C: The rights to speak one's mother tongue.
D: The improvement of the English language.答案：A解析：本题问“两个宣言关切到什么？”文章的第一句话是这么说的：在美国，一个宣布英语是国语的措施正在经受着激烈的争论。然后文章说到美国参议院上周通过了两个宣言。一个宣言把英语叫做国家的官方语言；另一个宣言说英语是通用的、起统一作用的语言。可见这两个宣言涉及英语的地位问题，因此A项是正确的。
本题问“谁在18世纪就建议英语应该得到保护？”第四段有这样一句话：John Adams lobbied in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language. 1780年John Adams曾游说建立一个国家研究院，致力于纠正并修改英语。可见正确的选择应该是John Adams。
本题问“下面的哪一方面跟目前的争论无关？”第三段提到A、B和C，唯有D没有提到。D说的是“美国的军事力量”。
本题问“根据2000年美国人口普查局的报告，哪个命题是真的？”最后一段话的第一个句子是这么说的：根据2000年美国人口普查局的报告，18岁以上美国人有两亿九百万人。所以C项是对的。其他选项都把两亿九百万人当作了美国的总人口，因而是错误的。
本题问“kicked around最有可能被哪个词替换？”这个短语出现在下面这个句子中：In fact,the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation's founding．事实上，保护这一语言的思想几乎从这个国家建立时就开始讨论了。这个短语的意义可以从上下文中推出。 -

What do you know about the English Renaissance?
正确答案:Renaissance was the revival of classical literature and artistic styles in European history. It began in Italy in the early 14th century and spread to England in the late 15th century.
The English Renaissance had 5 characteristics:
(1) English culture was revitalized not so much directly by the classics as by contemporary Europeans under the influence of the classics;
(2) England as an insular country followed a course of social and political history which was to a great extent independent of the course of history else where in Europe;
(3) Owning to the great genius of the 14th century poet Chaucer, the native literature was vigorous enough and experienced in assimilating foreign influences without being subjected by them;
(4) English Renaissance literature is chiefly artistic, rather than philosophical and scholarly;
(5) the Renaissance coincided with the Reformation in England. The English Renaissance was largely literary, and achieved its finest expression in the so-called Elizabethan drama. Its finest exponents were Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, and William Shakespeare. -
