4.Interviewer-------- Why is English so important?David------- Well, English is so important primarily because so many people speak it and use it, so it has now become the lingua franca in the world in a way that we’ve never seen before. We’ve never had a world language of this kind before. So people are learning it not just to be able tocommunicate with native speakers, but also with speakers of other language around world.Interviewer-------And why has it become that dominant language?David------I think the reason for that is actually very complicated, although in the twentieth century, we can just see that it’s the rise of the US military and consumer power. I mean the technology, all the big developments in technology largely came from the US. So all of these developments actually were produced within the English language, and people had to learn English in order to understand them, or to benefit from them. The Internet is only one example of that kind. Once a language has got into that position of dominance, it’s actually very different to shift it. So we could be seeing the emergence of other big languages in the world becoming more important than they have been, like Spanish, but it’s unlikely that they’re going to shift the English from its position of dominance.36.

    New Foods and the New World
    In the last 500 years,nothing about people—not their clothes,ideas,or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians .The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's .And although it was very expensive,it quickly became fashionable.In London,shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.
    The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600,the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine”of 1845—1846,and thou- sands more were forced to emigrate to America.
    There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the world's largest grower of coffee,and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries.But it is native to Ethiopia. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.
    According to an Arabic legend,coffee was discovered when a person named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake”feeling that one-third of the world's population now starts the day with.

    The Arabic legend is used to prove that
    A:.coffee was first discovered by Kaldi
    B: coffee was first discovered by Kaldi's goats
    C:.coffee was first discovered in south American countries
    D: coffee drinks were first made by Arabs

    答案：D
    解析：
    细节题。第一段第一句： In the last 500 years , nothing about people—not their clothes,ideas , or languages—has changed as much as what they eat.（在过去的500年中，没有任何关于人类的东西，如他们的衣服，观点或语言，会像他们吃的食物变化那么大）同时使用比较级和否定词表示最高级，意思恰恰就是A选项的内容。


    细节题。从第一段最后两句话：London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.（在伦敦，供应巧克力饮料的店铺成为了重要的聚会地点。直到今天还存在一些这样的店铺）可以推断这里的some指的就是London shops。


    细节题。第二段第三句：Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “ Potato Famine ” of 1845～1846.（爱尔兰人非常依赖土豆，在1845年到1846年期间的土豆饥荒中成千上万的爱尔兰人由于土豆欠收而挨俄）。强调the crop failed , the crop即potato。 A项没有说明土豆欠收这个关键事实；B项是starve导致的结果，并非原因;C项文章并未提及。


    细节题。根据第三段倒数第二句：But it is native（本土的、当地的）to Ethiopia．句中it即指coffee，意思是咖啡最早产自埃塞俄比亚。A、B项和But it is native to Ethiopia矛盾；根据第三段最后一句：Arabs最早将咖啡制作为饮品。可以推断D是错误的。


    推断题。第三段最后一句：It ( coffee ) was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400's.最后一段讲述这个阿拉伯传说就是为了证明阿位伯人首先发明了咖啡这种饮品，即D选项的内容。

    We may learn from the sentence “But the glamour of the “First World” pledge appealed to middle-class consumers with money to burn” in para. 4 that ______.
    A

    Brazilian went to Pao de Acucar because it was a brand from the “First World”

    B

    Pao de Acucar was kind of local corner shops and thus cheaper

    C

    Middle-class Brazilian went to Pao de Acucar instead of the cheaper local corner shops because of its slogan

    D

    Pao de Acucar targeted middle-class consumers


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    题目问的是：第4段中的句子“‘第一世界’誓言的魔力呼吁着中产阶级的消费者去挥霍”，我们可以从中得知什么？文章第3段提到“The one thing that was really reminiscent of the developed world was Pao de Acucar’s pricing policy. Local corner shops were often considerably cheaper.”说明发达国家采用Pao de Acucar的定价政策，相对而言地方角落里的商品经常会便宜很多，可以看出中产阶级的巴西人因为标语选择去Pao de Acucar，而不是更便宜的地方性商店。故选C。

    C

    D

    正确答案： C

    题目问的是：下列哪一项最能解释第4段中的“Marco Polo, eat your heart out.”？该段主要讲了一个即将去贝宁的朋友轻松收集了很多当地的资料，在出行之前就可以全面而详细地了解任何想知道的信息，无需亲自游历。结合马可波罗的事迹可知，这里是“悲伤”的意思。Eat one’s heart out意为“感到悲伤或沮丧”。故选A。

  • 第8题：

    问答题
    This is the world out of which grows the hope, for the first time in history, of a society where there will be freedom from want and freedom from fear. Our very anxiety is born of our knowledge of what is now possible for each and for all. The number of people who consult psychiatrists today is not, as is sometimes felt, a symptom of increasing mental ill health, but rather the precursor of a world in which the hope of genuine mental health will be open to everyone, a world in which no individual feels that he needs be hopelessly broken-hearted, a failure, a menace to others or a traitor to himself. But if our anxieties are actually signs of hope, why is there such a voice of discontent abroad in the land? I think this comes perhaps because our anxiety exists with accompanying recognition of the tragedy which will always be inherent in human life, however well we build our world. We may banish hunger, violence and secret police, we cannot—as we have tried to do—banish death itself.

    正确答案：
    有史以来第一次,这个世界有望成为一个没有贫困、没有恐惧的社会。由于每个人,所有的人都知道自己的命运,我们的焦虑也就由此产生。今天这么多的人去找精神病医生咨询,并不像人们常常感到的那样说明了越来越多的人患精神病,而只是预示着这样一个世界的到来:在那里,真正精神健康的希望之门将对每个人开放。他不必因为自己失败了,给他人造成威胁了,或背叛了自己的信仰而伤心欲绝,感到无可救药了。但是如果我们的焦虑是希望的象征,为什么到处还听到这样一种不满的声音呢?我认为这可能是我们焦虑的同时没有认识到这一点,即无论我们把这个世界建设得如何好,人类生活始终摆脱不了自身的悲剧。我们可以消灭饥饿,消灭暴力,消灭秘密警察,但我们无法,虽然一直在努力,使人不死。
    解析：
    【翻译要点】
    本题值得注意的是第三句...a world in which no individual feels that he needs be hopelessly broken-hearted, a failure, a menace to others or a traitor to himself中的同位语结构。在翻译中，若分析不够，很容易造成误译。显然a failure, a menace to others or a traitor to himself应是he的同位语，进一步说明he的。一般说来，作为同位关系的两个词语应放在一起的，但由于修饰关系，也有分开的。

    Dogs play an important part in language and culture.

    C

    We can be successful if we learn from our own mistakes.

    D

    Dogs like the hottest days in summer very much.


    正确答案： B
    解析：
    本题是推断题。全文主要介绍了许多和狗有关的习语，由此可以看出，狗在英语文化中有着特定的含义，因此B项正确。文章说道老年人学习新技能很慢，但并没有提到有关青少年学习新的技能的事情，因此A项错误。文章第二段第三句说“想要成功，就得工作的很努力才行”，所以C项“想要成功，我们就必须从错误中吸取教训”是错误的。D项“狗非常喜欢夏天最热的那几天”文章并未提及，因此可以排除。
