visit. when i ask, “what is success?” the first response is, invariably(总是), “getting a(n) 1 and making money.” it 2 some searching to arrive at a richer answer. 3 , getting paid is a baseline for success in any field. putting this criterion on the table is a(n) 4 step.when i ask design students to talk about what makes design different from the fine 5 , they gravitate towards(被吸引到) the role of the client. designers serve clients, or so the logic goes, 6 artists serve themselves.although it is true that designers generally rely on clients, pleasing them is not the 7 purpose of our work. what designers share with our clients is the 8 . our clients wouldnt need us at all if we werent helping them 9 that public. the public may never know who designed the coffee cup theyre holding, the magazine theyre reading or the sign thats 10 them where to go. but theyre seeing it, and some of them might, at some level, have their 11 enlivened(使有生气), simplified or otherwise improved by it. one way to think about success is asking whether your work gets 12 or used, and if so, whether using it improves peoples lives.designers have many ways to 13 to their profession and to see and be seen in the design world. one is entering competitions and 14 work to annuals and exhibitions. another is 15 the design communitygoing to events, lectures and conferences, and helping to organize them, too. yet another involves 16 and writing. blogs and online journals like this one enable any designer to have a voice and share ideas.success is 17 going to work every day and getting paid. success means finding personal satisfaction 18 your work and loving what you do. and it means engaging with a(n) 19 world: a world of clients and employers, but also of readers, users and other designers. it is

从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。english as a foreign languagewho 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(占主导地位的), will it 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. maybe its 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 dont necessarily need to pull out everything else. if more and more people want to plant english roses, thats fine by me. 【文章大意】作者以独特的视角分析了英语的发展前景和人们的种种顾虑。越来越多的人会讲英语是好事吗? 战乱会因此而减少吗? 将来人们会只讲一种语言, 吃同样的食物, 听同样的音乐吗? 作者借用一位爱尔兰听众的邮件说: 英语好比玫瑰花, 它很漂亮, 但是我们不能因为它漂亮就把花园全种上玫瑰花, 也不能把其他花草都拔掉。1. how many people learn english as their second language? a. about 80%. b. about 376 million. c. about one million. d. we dont know. 【解析】选b。细节理解题。从第二段第一句话可知, 把英语当作第二语言的人的数量是about 376 million。故选b。2. what does“garden”in the last two paragraphs stand for? a. language. b. family. c. the world. d. the earth. 【解析】选c。词义猜测题。因为这两段中rose用来指代english, 所以garden自然是指代the world。故选c。3. the author would probably agree that. a. its very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a gardenb. its good for people from other countries to learn englishc. more and more people like to plant roses in their gardensd. english is easier to learn than other languages【解析】选b。作者意图题。根据全文内容, 尤其最后一句if more and more people want to plant english roses, thats fine by me. 可以了解作者的态度倾向。故选b。4. this passage is mainly about. a. why english has become a global languageb. how many people in the world speak englishc. how people in the world learn english as a foreign languaged. whether we need to worry about english being a world language【解析】选d。主旨大意题。通过理解全文内容以及作者的观点, 我们可以知道人们大可不必顾虑英语作为世界语言的前景问题。故选d。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c和d项中，选出最佳选项。 taxi, the underground, drivingin london these means of transport are expensive. as a student on a budget, i couldnt afford the 30 pounds (around 300 yuan) fare for a taxi. even a bus was one pound and 20 pence (about 12 yuan) for a single ticket. i didnt need to travel this way anyway. i had mabel- my london bike. when i moved to beijing, like every foreigner, i was delighted to discover i could take a cab for cheaper than a single journey on the subway. but something was wrong. i missed mabel. that was when i met mandarin mabel also known as mandy, my beijing bike. in many ways, beijing is made for: it is a flat, easy land compared with hilly london. the cycling citys north/south/east/west square structure is also easier to travel than londons unplanned, twisting streets. however, beijing comes completely with its own dangers. the rules of the road areflexible. bikes, cars, passers-by all float up and down ways in both directions. compared with londons terrible cycle paths, in beijing, every road has huge, wide cycle ways. but cars, taxis and motorbikes see no reason why they shouldnt use the cycle ways as a shortcut, and why they shouldnt announce you to get out of their way when they do. beijing traffic is more good-natured. in london, the road is an active war. people shout, quarrel and beat on each others windows. in beijing zone, drivers never get actively angry. in fact, often they ignore cyclists. obviously that means its up to the cyclists to see them. mandy is a tree beijing bike. it is nearly broken, it makes loud noises every time you ride on it, and i have had to make several emergency repair stops for it. but cycling round beijing on a sunny day is a joy. it is just me, mandy and the city.41. what can we conclude from the first paragraph?a. bicycles are the most popular means of transport in london.b. to save money, the author used travel around by bus in london.c. the expense of public transport makes some people want to buy a bike.d. the author didnt travel around london because of lacking a bike.【答案】c【解析】推理判断题。根据taxi, the underground, drivingin london these means of transport are expensive.乘坐其他的公共交通费用是高的，所以一些人想要买自行车，故选c。42. what does the author think of cycling a
