第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40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。
A
English as a Foreign Language
Who taught you to speak English ? Your parents , while you were a young child ? Your teachers at school ? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up . Whoever it was , somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language .
There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language , and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue . There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English .
Is this a good thing , or a bad thing ? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate , using a common language , across countries and cultures ? Or should we worry about the dangers of ‘mono-culturalism’ , a world in which we all speak the same language , eat the same food and listen to the same music ?
Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language ? On the contrary , I would have thought —although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better , there would be fewer wars . Ask the people of India (where many of them speak at least some English ) and Pakistan (the same situation with India )…
If we all speak English , will we then all start eating McDonalds burgers ? Surely not . If English becomes more dominant , it will kill other languages ? I doubt it . When I travel in Africa or Asia , I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages , as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well .
When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago , we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland . “The English language is a beautiful language . Mabe it’s like a rose ,” he said . “But who would ever want their garden just full of rose ?”
Well , I love roses , and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden . But the way I see it , just by planting a few roses , you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else . If more and more people want to plant English roses , that’s fine by me .
56．By saying “Ask the people of India…and Pakistan” (in Paragraph 4) , the author is trying to show that .
A．speaking the same language doesn’t necessarily bring peace
B．wars can destroy the relationship between two countries
C．English doesn’t kill other languages
D．English is widely used in the world
57．What does “garden” in the last two paragraphs stand for ?
A．Language B．Family C．The world D．Knowledge
58．The author would probably agree that .
A．it’s very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a garden
B．it’s good for people from other countries to learn English
C．more and more people like to plant roses in their gardens
D．English is easier to learn than other languages
59．This passage is mainly about .
A．why English has become a global language
B．how many people in the world speak English
C．how people in the world learn English as a foreign language
D．whether we need to worry about English being a world language
B

MALAYSIA’S Prime Minister , Mahathia Mohamad , retired October 31 , but he didn’t go quietly . In his final speech, he blamed the Jewish people for the problems between Israel and the Palestinians .
“The Jews have taken land of the Muslims,” he said . “What if part of America was given to the Jews as Israel ? Would the Americans let it happen ? Of course not .”
His words angered many western governments , but Mahathia didn’t care . “I like to speak my mind ,” the 77-year-old explained . “Sometimes people don’t like it . But that is what leadership is all about .”
Loved by some and dislike by others , his 22 years in power have seen great changes in Malaysia . He has taken it from being one of Asia’s poorest countries to the world’s 18th largest trading nation . It is also a peaceful country with native Malaysians living alongside minority groups . Chinese make up a quarter of the population , while a further 7.4 percent are of Indian origin . Teenage girls wearing Muslim headscarves happily walk around large stores as ethnic Chinese play mah-jong (麻将) in nearby cafes .
But Mahathia has made enemies at home and abroad and some people will be glad he has gone .The US was unhappy when he often blamed it for globalization . Meanwhile , critics say that he has limited the freedom of the Malaysian people in order to stay in control of the country . Despite this , he is a hero to leaders in Southeast Asia as well as those in the Islamic （伊斯兰） world . “He marked out the path to success for developing nations in the region to follow,” said Thai President Thaksin Shinawatra .
Now he just wants to enjoy his retirement and insists that he will not take on a special role in government . “I’m a nobody ,” he said . But many Malaysians do not agree with this .

C．Malaysia developed a lot within Mahathia’s power but freedom of Malaysians was limited.
D．Mahathia’s role in the world is both a hero to leaders in Southeast Asia and a possible enemy of some countries .

The word “Solon” has come to be a nickname for a lawyer , but few people know that Solon (639 to 599 B. C. ) was an actual person , one of the most famous and respected lawmakers of Athens . He was known as one of the “seven wise men of Greece” . Solon was given right to change laws to help a country in need of reform . The government assumed political powers . He also got help from courts in which citizens could appeal （上诉）official decisions . Any citizen who even didn’t belong to any class of society could become a member of the public law courts . The rich and poor theoretically had equal rights .
However , Solon did not establish a democracy , but an oligarchy. Only citizens of the high classes could hold public office and only citizens of the very highest class could hold the leadership . It is interesting to compare ancient Greece with America today . In America, while nearly all citizens can vote , even those from the very lowest class . However , it certainly may be true that only those from the highest , or wealthiest classes are elected to the highest offices of our country .
According to historians , Solon was away from the country for 10 years . When he returned, he found that the country was at war with itself . Pisistratus became the leader . In history , Pisistratus was famous as a tyrant (暴君) . Every person wants to know whether mankind is doomed (命中注定) to repeat its mistakes forever .
Our group suggests that members of congress be elected for a six-year term . At the end of that term , each congress person will be decided whether he should be appointed for life or not . If it becomes true , these persons should do their best to support the true interest of the people , rather than worry about his own political future .
67．What does the author actually suggest from the 1st paragraph ?
A．In fact the rich and the poor had not the equal political right .
B．In fact the rich and the poor had the equal political right .
C．In his opinion the rich and the poor had the equal political right .
D．In the historians’ opinion the rich and the poor had the equal political right .
68．Based on the information given in the passage , what does word “oligarchy” mean ?
A．A government controlled by the highest class of citizens .
B．A government in which people of all classes are treated equally .
C．A government in which all people can change law .
D．A government in which citizens of the high classes can share the rights .
69．The writer takes voting in America because he wants to say that .
A．America is a well developed nation of democracy
B．America may be the same oligarchy as ancient Greece was
C．All Americans have the equal rights to be elected to the highest offices
D．The voting laws of America allow more and more people to vote
70．The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to .
A．present the truth that only highest class rules any society
B．explain the progress of making laws and a way of life and politics
C．put forward a possible problem and suggest a solution to it
D．compare the society of modern America to that of ancient Greece
E
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 proved my growing belief true 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 .
Many children have changed in recent years . They don’t seem childlike anymore-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 biological instinct (天生) states , but also on patterns of ways to social knowledge . 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(揭示) machine has been set in 98 percent of American homes . It is called television , Television passes information , and indiscriminately(不加区分地), to all viewers alike , be they children or adults . Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less boring , more interesting 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 got . Reading and writing involve a code of marks that must be memorized and practices . Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
71．According to the author , feeling depressed is .
A．a sure sign of a psychological problem in a child
B．an unavoidable case of children’s mental development
C．something hardly to be expected in a young child
D．a mental scale (标度) present in all humans , including children
72．Traditionally , a child is supposed to learn about the adult world .
A．through contact with society B．gradually and under guidance
C．naturally and by biological instinct D．through input of social information directly
73．In the writer’s opinion , that today’s children seem adult like is due to .
A．the widespread influence of television
B．the poor arrangement of teaching content
C．the fast pace of human physical development
D．the continuously rising standard of living
74．The author agrees on communication through print for children because .
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 practice more.
D．it can control what children are to learn .
75．What does the author think of the change in today’s children ?
A．He feels amused by their adult like behavior .
B．He seems to be upset about it .
C．He considers it a positive development .
D．He thinks it is a fact worthy of note .
