first spoken.But England is often called by other names.This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean.So,now I would like to tell you about this matter of names.I believe that you have heard people use the namesEngland,Britain or Great Britain.Lets see what each of these names means.If you look at a map of Europe,youll see a group of islandsone larger island off the northwest coast,one smaller and many tiny ones.These make up what is called the British Isles.The largest island of the British Isles is Britain.It is also called Great Britain.The smaller island is Ireland.Britain is divided into three parts:Scotland,Wales and England.But sometimes the word “England” is used instead of “Britain”.Why so?In ancient times,what is Britain now used to be three different countries.People in these different countries spoke different languages.Over many years the three countries became one.England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people.So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.Theres another thing that confuses people:sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.That is the official name of the country.Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland.The rest of the island is an independent state,called the Republic of Ireland.So we have the names of “England”,“Britain”,“Great Britain”,and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.Now do you know what each of them means?21.English was first spoken in .A.BritainB.EnglandC.Great BritainD.Ireland答案:B解析:细节理解题。由第一段第一、二句可知最早讲英语的地方是England。22.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Wales is the richest of the three.B.Scotland is the largest of the three.C.Sometimes England is used instead of Britain.D.Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles.答案:C解析:细节理解题。由第三段第二句可知,人们有时用England来代替Britain(称呼英国)。23.The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is.A.part of Britain B.part of British Isles C.the official name of the whole countryD.the largest country of all mentioned in the passage答案:C解析:细节理解题。由最后一段第一、二句可以得知,theUnitedKingdomofGreatBritainandNorthernIreland是英国的官方名称。24.Which of the following is the best title?A.Students of English B.Different Names of EnglandC.Different Languages Spoken in England D.The Republic of Ireland答案:B解析:主旨大意题。本文从头至尾都在讲述英国的名称,因此最佳标题应用DifferentNamesofEngland。BEnglish is a language spoken all around the world.There are more than 42 countries where the majority of the people speak English.Most native speakers of English are found in the United Kingdom,the United States of America,Canada,Australia,South Africa,Republic of Ireland and New Zealand.In total,for more than 376 million people English is their mother tongue.An equal number of people learn English as a second language.These people will perhaps speak the language of their own country at home with their family,but the language of the government,schools,newspapers and TV is English.This situation is found in countries such as India,Pakistan,Nigeria and the Philippines.However,the number of people who learn English as a foreign language is more than 750 million.Everywhere in the world children go to school to learn English.Most people learn English for five or six years at high school.In China students learn English at school as a foreign language,except for those in Hong Kong,where many people speak English as a first or second language.In only fifty years,English has developed into the language most widely spoken and used in the world.English is the working language of most international organizations,international trade and tourism.Businessmen and tourists often come to China without being able to speak Chinese.Chinese businessmen,taxi drivers and students talk with them using English.English is also the language of global culture,such as popular music and the Internet.You can listen to English songs on the radio or use English to communicate with people around the world through the Internet.With so many people communicating in English every day,it will become more and more important to have a good knowledge of English.25.How many people learn English as a second language?A.More than 37,500,000.B.More than 376,000,000.C.More than 750,000,000.D.More than 75,000,000.答案:B解析:推理判断题。由第一段中的“.formorethan376millionpeopleEnglishistheirmothertongue.AnequalnumberofpeoplelearnEnglishasasecondlanguage.”可推知,把英语作为第二语言学习的人数也是morethan376,000,000。26.Most international organizations use as their working language.A.EnglishB.ItalianC.LatinD.Japanese答案:A解析:细节理解题。由第三段第二句可以得知,大多数国际组织把英语作为工作语言。27.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A.There are more than 42 countries where English is spoken.B.More than 750 million people speak English as their mother tongue.C.English is the language of global culture.D.English is the language widely used and spoken in the world.答案:D解析:主旨大意题。本文主要讲述英语在当今世界被广泛应用。28.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.English will be the only language to be used in the worldB.Englishmen might find it unnecessary for them to learn other languages C.the number of learners of English will become smallerD.Chinese will play a more important part than English 答案:B解析:推理判断题。由短文最后一段可知,那些来中国的商人和游客可以不必会说汉语,只需要说英语即可。由此推断出,随着世界各地学英语的人数的增加,英国人可能发觉自己没有必要学习其他语言了。C(2016全国高考卷)The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful,or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say.A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness,uneasiness,or worry.Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable;therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation.Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a persons needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people,just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore,when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops,what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures,silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways,particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.For example,Russian,French,and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion.However,Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her.In still another use,persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect,particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.29.What does the author say about silence in conversations?A.It implies anger.B.It promotes friendship.C.It is culture-specific.D.It is content-based.答案:C解析:推理判断题。根据第一段第一句以及最后两句内容可推断出,在谈话过程中的沉默通常与文化密切相关,具有文化特异性。30.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?A.The Chinese.B.The French.C.The Mexicans.D.The Russians.答案:A解析:细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,中国人与很多美国人一样,认为沉默是交流过程中的基本构成部分,谈话中出现沉默通常暗示听者需要仔细考虑。31.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.B.Break it while treating patients.C.Evaluate its harm to patients.D.Make use of its healing effects.答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句内容可知,作者建议护士们充分利用沉默的治愈价值来帮助护理病人。32.What may be the best title for the text?A.Sound and SilenceB.What It Means to Be SilentC.Silence to Native AmericansD.Speech Is Silver;Silence Is Gold答案:B解析:主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知,文章主要说明沉默具有文化特异性,在不同的文化中,沉默表达的含义和作用各不相同。因此B项最具概括性。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。A man came home from work late,tired and found his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.“Daddy,may I ask you a question?”“Yeah,sure,what is it?” replied the man.33“If you must know,I make $20 an hour.”“Oh,” the little boy replied,with his head down.Then he looked up and said,“Daddy,may I borrow $10?” The father was angry,“If the only reason you asked for that is to borrow some money to buy a silly toy,then you should go to bed.”34After about an hour or so,the man calmed down,and started to think.Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didnt ask for money very often.35“Are you asleep,son?” He opened the door and asked.“No,Daddy,” replied the boy.“Ive been thinking,maybe I was too hard on you just now,” said the man,“Heres the $10 you asked for.”36“Oh,thank you,Daddy!” he yelled.Then,reaching under his pillow he pulled out some small change.37“Why do you want more money if you have already had some?” the father asked angrily.“Because I didnt have enough,but now I do,”the little boy replied.“Daddy,I have $20 now.Can I buy an hour of your time?Please come home earlier tomorrow.I would like to have dinner with you.”A.The little boy sat straight up,smiling.B.“Daddy,how much do you spend a day?”C.“Daddy,how much do you make an hour?”D.The man went to the door of the little boys room.E.The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.F.Silently the little boy returned the money to his father with tears.G.The man,seeing that the boy already had money,started to get angry again.答案:33.C34.E35.D36.A37.G三、完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。People

person 42 an American in the way he or she speaks.Many old words 43 in England but were kept in America.For example,300 years ago people in Great Britain got their water from something they called

“wireless”.And almost anything having something to do 52 cars,railroads,etc.53 different names in British and American English.But now American and British English may be growing close together.One 54

even be 57 on both sides of the Atlantic.38.A.followingB.recentC.oldestD.last 答案:A解析:第一句提到“英国人在16和17世纪把英语带到了北美”,因此此处用inthefollowing300years表示“在接下来的300年里”。39.A.suchB.tooC.soD.great
