山东省胶州市2015英语阅读理解专练（3）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。 afrom oatie on 2014-02-13 04:05:25 dominant（主流的）languages change quite often. as the countries and areas that speak a language grow and decrease in power, the language becomes either more or less widespread remember that latin and french were the most widely used languages in europe as late as the 19th century. i think english is currently powerful because of americas central position in global affairs. hopefully, in the future, esperanto（世界语）will be the accepted second international language!from ttanya on 2014-02-26 20:10:28 i also have been wondering about the future of english as the worlds lingua franca（通用语）.i was thinking that maybe chinese would overpower english as the dominant world business language. but it appears that the chinese government is actively promoting english to their public school students. so maybe, if china becomes the next world power, english will remain the current lingua franca under chinese influence.frommymunkeeon 2014 -03 -06 00:38:03 esperanto is the only language of which there are no ethnic (种族的）ties, and its a million times easier to learn than english. the idea of making everyone learn “your language” is socially dominating and can only result in dysfunctional（紊乱的）international relations.from recata on 2014 -03 -20 21:49:44 perhaps the evolution english will face is to become more common, not more diverse. i say this because of broadcast media. for example, in arabic countries, the dialects have been so distinct that people from various countries can not understand each other. however, with the increasing role of broadcast arabic, the language is becoming more unified(统一的）. the continued expansion of english as an international business language will probably strengthen its commonality and weakening various dialects. an example is the word for “get in line”. i had never heard the british word “queue” several years ago, but now it is becoming commonplace in america.56. who thinks chinese may replace english as the dominant world business language in the future?a. oatie. b. ttanya. c. mymunkee. d. recata.57. recata believes that in the future english will become_.a. more unified b. more diversec. more popular in arabic countries d. commonplace in america 58. the underlined word “distinct” in the last paragraph probably means“_”.a. similar b. different c. clear d. popular59. this passage is most probably taken from_.a. a tv talk show b. an interview made in a schoolc. a website page d. a newspaper on languages【参考答案】56 -59 babc

memory of gershwin.dbrain cancer research started after gershwins death.解析推理判断题。根据原文最后一段，“newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages.”即说明了b选项“the death of gershwin was widely reported.”故b正确。其它选项均没有涉及。答案b17which of the following best describes gershwin?atalented and productive. bserious and boring.cpopular and unhappy. dfriendly and honest.解析主旨大意题。从全文看，这个人不可能用boring这样感情色彩负面的词来形容，故b错误；文中提到他popular，但没有说他unhappy，故c错误；friendly和honest在文中没有具体体现，没有根据，故d错误；a选项中talented有天分的，productive多产的，准确地描述了gershwin作为一个作曲家所具备的素质。答案a较难题目特训：介绍说明类 the government of norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the arctic ocean. the place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. the goal is to represent all crops known to scientists. the british magazine new scientist published details of the plan last month. the structure will be designed to protect the worlds food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. it will be built in a mountain on the norwegian island of spitsbergen. the mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the north pole, the northernmost position on earth.an international group called the global crop diversity trust is working on the project. the director of the group, cary fowler, spoke to new scientist. he said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if in his words “the worst came to the worst”. norway is expected to start work next year. the project is expected to cost three million dollars. workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. temperatures in the area never rise above zero degrees celsius. the seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high-security doors.the magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in africa, asia and latin america. to last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. workers will not be present all the time. but they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below zero celsius. the cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.mr. fowler says the proposed structure will be the worlds most secure gene bank. he says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason.norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. but security concerns delayed the plan. at that time, the soviet union was permitted use of spitsbergen. new scientist says the plan won united nations approval in october at a m
