A
In urban(都市) China,where English is almost the official second language,many Chinese people have learned to speak as professionally as native speakers.However they may have an accent and make a few minor(小的) grammatical mistakes.Years ago many people used a certain Chinese-English dictionary or a series of textbooks and accepted their teachings.Consequently(結果),language learners developed a peculiar vocabulary.Some people call these word choices“Chinglish”.The words are not incorrect—native speakers still understand them—but they stand in the way of using standard English.Here are some common examples,both from written and spoken English:
Clever (adj.):Native speakers usually say “smart” instead. “Smart” is a broader and more common word.“Clever”suggests an ability to think your way out of a specific(特殊的) problem or take advantage of a specific situation.Being smart serves you for life.
“Examination(n.):Use “exam” ,the short form of it,or the more common word, “test”.(The verb for all three words is“take”.) Another word you may hear is “quiz” .It means a short and relatively unimportant test that the teacher often gives as a surprise.
Film:This is largely a technical word.The common term is“movie”.(Native speakers often say “short film for the movie”.)
House (n.):a stand-alone building with its own street entrance that is home to one family.A home in a building full of families is an “apartment” or a “flat”.When in doubt,just say“home”.
Puzzled (adj.):We use this word to describe mild reactions(反應) to difficult math problems,and not even very often for this purpose(we say “I’m stumped” or “I have no idea” instead).But when we’re addressing a life issue such as whether to pursue(從事) a graduate education or go straight to work,we say “confused”.This is a stronger word as well as a more common one.
36.The writer wrote this passage to______.
A.prove there are so many Chinese people learning English in a wrong way
B.teach us to choose correct and exact English words to express ourselves
C.tell people that if we want to speak English as well as native speakers we must memorize as many English words as possible
D.explain what Chinglish is
答案:B 通過通讀全篇及對所舉詞匯的辨析,可以猜出作者的意圖是指導人們使用準確的英文單詞來表達自己的思想。
37.What’s the Chinese for the underlined part “stand in the way of”?
A.阻礙 B.有幫助
C.避免 D.有損害
答案:A 信息句“The words are not incorrect—native speakers still understand them—but they stand in the way of using standard English.”中,前句意思為“這些詞并非錯誤”,表肯定意義。后句 “但是卻……了我們使用地道英語”,由轉折連詞but我們可以推測答案為A。
38.According to the passage,which of the following is more common?
A.Would you like to go to the film tonight?
B.He will take an examination next week.
C.Tom is cleverer than his brother.
D.He felt confused whether he would go abroad for further study.
答案:D 由文中所列詞匯辨析“when we’re addressing a life issue such as whether to pursue(從事) a graduate education or go straight to work, we say ‘confused’.This is a stronger word as well as a more common one.”可知答案。
39.This passage suggests that______.
A.native speakers say “I’m puzzled with this math problem.” more often used than they say “I’m stumped with the math problem.”
B.the word “home” is much often used than the word “house” in spoken and written English
C.the word “examination” is more common than its short form“exam”
D.we can say “do a quiz”
答案:B 文章倒數(shù)第二段的后一句“When in doubt, just say ‘home’”.說明B正確,其他選項均可利用文中例子給予排除。
40.We can infer from the passage that______.
A.native speakers can understand “Chinglish”
B.saying “take a test” is more common
C.to English learners,developing more English vocabulary doesn’t mean speaking good English
D.it’s easy to learn English words well
答案:C 通讀全文可以領悟作者的態(tài)度是學英語不但要掌握大量的詞匯,而且要了解其具體用法。 ←根據(jù)對文章的整體理解及個別細節(jié)的描述來推測作者的態(tài)度。

Berlin—Germany will allow entry(進入) 20 000 foreign high-tech workers,under a plan announced on May 31st.Chancellor(總理) Gerhard Schroreder sees this as a way to keep the country from falling behind in information technology.
The plan for this so-called “green cards”,not like the US work permit system,came in answer to industry demands that there were not enough qualified workers to fill positions.
Workers who came to Germany under the new rules,effective from August will be given a five-year work permit after proving they have completed studies in a related field or can promise to at least 100 000 marks (US$48 000).
Family members are also allowed,though they too will receive work permits. “They are strong competition in the rest of the world for these people,” Schroreder said mentioning not only the United States but also British and France.Germany would be making a mistake if it didn’t take part in this competition.
He said employers have already offered 11 000 jobs through a “green card hotline” and some 4 700 applications emailed information requests.
The Chancellor also said the number of workers and the time limits of their stay may be extended,possibly under current German law.Allowing the workers to stay longer means they could finally become citizens.Since the beginning of this year,foreigners who have lived in the country for eight years can ask for being naturalized.
45.From the first paragraph we can get to know that Germany______.
A.is a less-developed country
B.used to be a developed country
C.is short of high-tech workers
D.once lost interest in information technology
答案:C 第一段中“Germany will allow entry (進入) 20 000 foreign high-tech workers”暗示德國高級技工很缺乏。
46.If a high-tech worker wants to work in Germany,he or she can enter Germany______.
A.in June B.after July
C.before August D.at any time
答案:B 由第三段“Workers who came to Germany under the new rules, effective from August”可知B對。
47.It is mentioned in the passage that competition in high tech______.
A.is only in America,Britain and France
B.has nothing to do with small countries
C.is weak in Asian countries
D.will affect the future of a country
答案:D 第一段中,“Chancellor(總理) Gerhard Schroreder sees this as a way to keep the country from falling behind in information technology.”可暗示出正確答案。
48.To be naturalized as a German,according to this passage,seems______.
A.difficult B.easy
C.impossible D.popular
答案:A 信息句“Allowing the workers to stay longer means they could finally become citizens. Since the beginning of this year, foreigners who have lived in the country for eight years can ask for being naturalized.”告訴我們要想成為一個真正的德國公民,需要有漫長的等待,并非易事。D

The World Trade Organization(WTO),founded on January 1st,1995,aims to encourage international trade to flow as freely as possible,making sure that any disputes(爭端) can be settled.
In the five years since its founding,the WTO has become well-known as one of the world’s most powerful economic organizations,taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
The system of global rules for international trade,however,dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs(關稅) and Trade (GATT) was formed after World War Two.As time went by,it became clear that the GATT had two major drawback—the limited areas of trade it covered,and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.
After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994,the so-called Uruguay Round finally gave birth to the WTO,complete with an effective system to settle disputes and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property(知識產(chǎn)權).
Even after seven years of talks and 22 500 pages of arrangements there were still problems,especially the difficult-to-deal-with areas of agriculture and services,which the member nations agreed to revise in 2000.
The WTO,with its head office in Geneva,has 135 members with 30 more waiting to join.
53.From the passage we know that the GATT stopped working______.
A.soon after World War Ⅱ ended
B.a little more than 50 years after World War Ⅱ
C.just in the year 1994
D.seven years before the Uruguay Round talk

A.didn’t pay enough attention to services and intellectual property
B.got its members to sign the agreement more easily
C.has got too many areas of international trade to deal with to work effectively
D.can do better to settle disputes in more areas of international trade
答案:D 由下列表述“it became clear that the GATT had two major drawback—the limited areas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the so-called Uruguay Round finally gave birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property(知識產(chǎn)權)”可知答案。

A
In urban(都市) China,where English is almost the official second language,many Chinese people have learned to speak as professionally as native speakers.However they may have an accent and make a few minor(小的) grammatical mistakes.Years ago many people used a certain Chinese-English dictionary or a series of textbooks and accepted their teachings.Consequently(結果),language learners developed a peculiar vocabulary.Some people call these word choices“Chinglish”.The words are not incorrect—native speakers still understand them—but they stand in the way of using standard English.Here are some common examples,both from written and spoken English:
Clever (adj.):Native speakers usually say “smart” instead. “Smart” is a broader and more common word.“Clever”suggests an ability to think your way out of a specific(特殊的) problem or take advantage of a specific situation.Being smart serves you for life.
“Examination(n.):Use “exam” ,the short form of it,or the more common word, “test”.(The verb for all three words is“take”.) Another word you may hear is “quiz” .It means a short and relatively unimportant test that the teacher often gives as a surprise.
Film:This is largely a technical word.The common term is“movie”.(Native speakers often say “short film for the movie”.)
House (n.):a stand-alone building with its own street entrance that is home to one family.A home in a building full of families is an “apartment” or a “flat”.When in doubt,just say“home”.
Puzzled (adj.):We use this word to describe mild reactions(反應) to difficult math problems,and not even very often for this purpose(we say “I’m stumped” or “I have no idea” instead).But when we’re addressing a life issue such as whether to pursue(從事) a graduate education or go straight to work,we say “confused”.This is a stronger word as well as a more common one.
36.The writer wrote this passage to______.
A.prove there are so many Chinese people learning English in a wrong way
B.teach us to choose correct and exact English words to express ourselves
C.tell people that if we want to speak English as well as native speakers we must memorize as many English words as possible
D.explain what Chinglish is
答案:B 通過通讀全篇及對所舉詞匯的辨析,可以猜出作者的意圖是指導人們使用準確的英文單詞來表達自己的思想。
37.What’s the Chinese for the underlined part “stand in the way of”?
A.阻礙 B.有幫助

40.We can infer from the passage that______.
A.native speakers can understand “Chinglish”
B.saying “take a test” is more common
C.to English learners,developing more English vocabulary doesn’t mean speaking good English

Berlin—Germany will allow entry(進入) 20 000 foreign high-tech workers,under a plan announced on May 31st.Chancellor(總理) Gerhard Schroreder sees this as a way to keep the country from falling behind in information technology.
The plan for this so-called “green cards”,not like the US work permit system,came in answer to industry demands that there were not enough qualified workers to fill positions.
Workers who came to Germany under the new rules,effective from August will be given a five-year work permit after proving they have completed studies in a related field or can promise to at least 100 000 marks (US$48 000).
Family members are also allowed,though they too will receive work permits. “They are strong competition in the rest of the world for these people,” Schroreder said mentioning not only the United States but also British and France.Germany would be making a mistake if it didn’t take part in this competition.
He said employers have already offered 11 000 jobs through a “green card hotline” and some 4 700 applications emailed information requests.
The Chancellor also said the number of workers and the time limits of their stay may be extended,possibly under current German law.Allowing the workers to stay longer means they could finally become citizens.Since the beginning of this year,foreigners who have lived in the country for eight years can ask for being naturalized.

A.is a less-developed country
B.used to be a developed country

D.once lost interest in information technology
答案:C 第一段中“Germany will allow entry (進入) 20 000 foreign high-tech workers”暗示德國高級技工很缺乏。

A.in June B.after July
C.before August D.at any time
答案:B 由第三段“Workers who came to Germany under the new rules, effective from August”可知B對。

A.is only in America,Britain and France
B.has nothing to do with small countries
C.is weak in Asian countries
D.will affect the future of a country

The World Trade Organization(WTO),founded on January 1st,1995,aims to encourage international trade to flow as freely as possible,making sure that any disputes(爭端) can be settled.
In the five years since its founding,the WTO has become well-known as one of the world’s most powerful economic organizations,taking its place alongside the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
The system of global rules for international trade,however,dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs(關稅) and Trade (GATT) was formed after World War Two.As time went by,it became clear that the GATT had two major drawback—the limited areas of trade it covered,and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.
After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994,the so-called Uruguay Round finally gave birth to the WTO,complete with an effective system to settle disputes and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property(知識產(chǎn)權).
Even after seven years of talks and 22 500 pages of arrangements there were still problems,especially the difficult-to-deal-with areas of agriculture and services,which the member nations agreed to revise in 2000.
The WTO,with its head office in Geneva,has 135 members with 30 more waiting to join.
53.From the passage we know that the GATT stopped working______.
A.soon after World War Ⅱ ended
B.a little more than 50 years after World War Ⅱ
C.just in the year 1994
D.seven years before the Uruguay Round talk

A.didn’t pay enough attention to services and intellectual property
B.got its members to sign the agreement more easily
C.has got too many areas of international trade to deal with to work effectively
D.can do better to settle disputes in more areas of international trade
答案:D 由下列表述“it became clear that the GATT had two major drawback—the limited areas of trade it covered, and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.After seven years of trade talks ending in 1994, the so-called Uruguay Round finally gave birth to the WTO, complete with an effective system to settle disputes and new rules covering trade in services and intellectual property(知識產(chǎn)權)”可知答案。
