the queen mother of britain, died on march 30,2002，just a little over four months short of her 102nd birthday.lady elizabeth angela marguerite boweslyon was born in 1900, when queen victoria was still living. her family was from the scottish aristocracy (贵族). in 1923 elizabeth married berite (albert), the shy and awkward son of george v. at first, she turned him down, unsure whether she wanted to marry into the duties of the royal family.her first daughter, born in 1926, was also named elizabeth. a second daughter, margaret, was born four years later.in 1936，george died, and his eldest son became king edward . however, edward gave up the throne (皇冠) soon afterwards. albert ascended the throne as george vi, and was crowned with elizabeth or at his side the following year.during world war ， which lasted from 1939 to 1945, the queen refused to leave england. she, the king, and the young princesses stayed in london to share the danger with other londoners, instead of spending the war years safely in canada. this earned her respect and admiration.george died of lung cancer in 1952, and their first daughter ascended the throne as elizabeth . the senior elizabeth took the title queen elizabeth or the queen mother. later she said she was happy to be known simply as “the queen mum”her favourite grandson, prince charles, called her “the most wonderful example of fun”. she enjoyed gin as well as champagne, planned official engagements around the horseracing calendar and expressed an ambition to become britains oldest woman.21how old was “queen mum” when she died?a101. b100. c103. d104.答案：a事实细节题。从第一段可知，伊丽莎白王后去世的时候差四个多月到102岁，故选a。22how old is queen mums second daughter now?a70.b84. c79. d86.答案：b事实细节题。根据第三段可知，伊丽莎白王后的二女儿出生于1930年，今年应该是84岁。23which of the following is true?aqueen

the end of middle english, a sudden change in pronunciation started, with vowels (元音) being pronounced shorter and shorter. from the 16th century the british had contact (接触) with many people from around the world. this meant that lots of new vocabulary entered the language. the invention of printing also meant that there was now a common language in print. books became cheaper and more people learned to read. spelling and grammar became fixed, and the dialect of london became the standard. in 1604 the first english dictionary came out.early modern english and late modern english are mostly different in the number of words. late modern english has many more words, mainly because of the following two reasons: first, the industrial revolution (工业革命) led to the need for new words. second, the british empire covered one quarter of the earths surface, and the english language took in foreign words from many countries.from around 1600, the english colonization (殖民地化) of north america led to american english. some english pronunciations and words “froze” when they reached america. in some ways, american english is more like the english of shakespeare than modern british english. some expressions that are called “american english” are in fact from british expressions. they were kept in the colonies while lost for a time in britain. spanish also had an influence (影响) on american english. for example, words like canyon, ranch, stampede and vigilante are from spanish. they entered english by the people of spain who settled in the american west. french words and west african words also influenced american english.today, american english has a greater influence, because of the usas movies, television, popular music, trade and technology.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文，简要介绍了英语的发展史。25the main difference between early and late modern english lies in _.avocabulary bpronunciationcspelling dgrammar答案：a细节理解题。从第二段的early modern english and late modern english are mostly different in the number of words可知，早期现代英语和晚期现代英语的主要差别在于词汇，故选a项。26from the passage，we can learn the word “canyon” is from _.aamerican dialectbafrican dialectcspanish dfrench答案：c细节理解题。根据第三段的for example, words like canyon，ranch，stampede and vigilante are from spanish可知canyon来源于西班牙语，故选c项。27the third paragraph mainly talks about _.aenglish colonies in north americabthe development of american englishcother languages influence on american englishdthe difference between american english and british english答案：b主旨大意题。第三段主要讲的是美国英语的发展，故选b项。28the underlined word“froze” can best be replaced by _.aremained unchangedbdisappearedcimproved dkept active答案：a细节理解题。从第三段的in some ways, american english is more like the english of shakespeare than modern british english可知，美式英语更像莎士比亚时代的英语，所以froze在此意为“没有发生变化”，故a项正确。camerican and british use different greetings. in the usa the commonest greeting is “hi”. in britain it is “hello！” or “how are you？”“hi” is creeping(不知不觉的)into british, too. when there are introduced to someone, the americans say, “glad to know you.” the british say, “how do you do？” or “pleased to meet you.” when americans say “goodbye”， they nearly always add, “have a good day” or “have a good trip”， etc. to friends and strangers alike. britons are already beginning to use “have a good day”the british usually use “got”in the sense of “have”. the americans hardly ever do.am.e: do you have a car, room，etc.？yes, i do.br.e: have you got a car, room, etc.? yes, i have.finally, there are a number of differences between american and british english in the spelling of words, eg.check(us)/cheque(uk); center(us)/centre(uk). many american words ending in “or”， eg. honor, vigor, labor are spelt in british english with an “our”， eg. honour, vigour, labour. many verbs in american english with “ize”or “izing” forms, eg. organize, realizing are spelt in br.e “ise”or “ising”，anise，realising.in american english, “practice”is used both for the verb and noun.in br.e, the verb is spelt “practise”， and the noun “practice”. in the main, american english avoids the doubling up of consonants(辅音字母)in nouns and verbs while british english does not.in american english, for example, one writes “travel, traveled, traveling, traveler，” while in british english, one writes “travel, travelled, travelling, traveller”it was once predicted that british and american english would became separate languages finally. but the opposite has happened. the links(连接)between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上的), and probably culturally(文化上的)too, they are closer together than ever.29the americans hardly say_agoodbye.have a good day! bglad to know you!chi!dhave you got a car?答案：d考查细节理解与常识判断。从第二、三、四段“the british usually use gotin the sense of have. the americans hardly ever do. am.e: do you have a car, room，etc.？yes, i do. br.e: have you got a car, room, etc.? yes, i have.”可知。30a british writes_.acheque；centerbhonor；organisectraveled；practice dlabour；traveller答案：d考查细节理解与常识判断。从文章第五段或结合常识可知。31what does the fifth paragraph talk about?athere are lots of differences in spelling between am.e.and br.e.bwhy do the americans and the british use different spellings?cthere are few differences in spelling between am.e.and br.e.d. the different usages of words in am.e and br.e.答案：a考查主题理解。从“finally, there are a number of differences between american and british english in the spelling of words.”及后面一系列的举例可知。32which of the following is true?athe two languages will become separate languages. bamerican english will be used more and more. cthe two languages will be closer and closer.dbritish english will be used more and more. 答案：c考查正误判断。从最后一段可说明c项是正确的。dbefore she appeared on the reality show (真人秀) britains got talent, susan boyle was just an ordinary middleaged british woman. now all this is going to change.she lives in a house with her cat pebbles in a tiny scottish town. because of learning difficulties, she doesnt have much education. but what she does have is a very good voice. as a kid, she sang in church，choirs and school plays. for a living, she sang at local pubs.when she took the stage on april 10th, her hair was untidy and her clothes seemed just_one_step_up_from rags. the audience laughed at her.but then she opened her mouth. a few bars into the song and the laughing audience went silent. a beautiful voice was singing i dreamed a dream from the musical les miserables. everyone was amazed.at the end of her song, the audience jumped to their feet and applauded wildly.almost overnight, susan became a household name. she won fans and millions of admirers. her online videos have drawn over 85.2 million hits.susans story proved the truth of an old saying：“never judge the book by its cover.”susan may look ordinary, and doesnt have much dress sense, but she can certainly sing.susans fans admire her courage, as much as they do her voice. she has experienced mockery and many disappointments, but her love for music has kept her going, which is worth anyones respect.33according to the passage, susan boyle_.ais a famous young actressbbecame famous after a showcused to be a good studentdis good at dancing and has millions of admirers答案：b细节理解题。根据第五段中的“almost overnight，susan became a household name.”可知苏珊波伊尔在电视真人秀节目英国达人的一次演出后就一夜成名，故选b项。34the underlined phrase “just one step up from” in the third paragraph probably means_.afar frombclose tocdifferent from dthe same as答案：b词义猜测题。根据文中的“her hair was untidy”和“the audience laughed at her.”可知她的穿着不好，接近于破烂(rags)，故选b项。35the passage is mainly about_.ahow to win fansbhow to sing wellca womans sudden successda womans simple life答案：c主旨大意题。本文主要介绍“没星相指数”很高的苏珊波伊尔在电视真人秀节目英国达人的一次演出后就一夜成名，故选c项。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。trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship, including
