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。21the main difference between early and late modern english lies in _.avocabulary bpronunciation cspellingdgrammar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。22from the passage，we can learn the word “canyon” is from _.aamerican dialectbafrican dialectcspanishdfrench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。23the third paragraph mainly talks about _.aenglish colonies in north americabthe development of american englishcother languages influence on american englishdthe difference between american english and britishenglish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。24the underlined word“froze” can best be replaced by _.aremained unchangedbdisappearedcimproveddkept 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。blondons newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. at a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in europe. the shard has completely changed the appearance of london. however, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.the shard was designed by the famous italian architect renzo piano. when he began designing the shard for london, piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶). he wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city.the sides of the building arent regular. so the building has an unusual shape. it looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. and that is how the building got the name: the shard. piano says that the spire shape of the shard is part of a great london tradition. the shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of london or the tall masts (桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river thames.the shard has 87 floors. at the top, there is an observatory. at the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a fivestar hotel. there will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.before building work began, a lot of people didnt want the shard though the plans were approved. now they are still unhappy about the shard. some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like new york, but not in london. they say that the best thing about the shard is its spire shape. but that is the only thing. there is no decoration, only flat surfaces. the egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. they also think the shard is too big for london. it destroys the beauty of the city.other critics dont like what the shard seems to represent. they say that the shard shows how london is becoming more unequal. only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. but the people who live near the shard are among the poorest in london. so the shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.the shard now dominates the london skyline. it is not certain, however, that ordinary london citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city. 文章大意：本文为议论文。题材为社会文化类。文章主要介绍了人们对伦敦新建的摩天大楼the shard的不同看法。25londons newest skyscraper is called the shard because of _.aits size bits cost cits shape dits height答案：c细节理解题。根据第二段中的 it looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. and that is how the building got the name: the shard.可知新建的摩天大楼因其外形而得名。故选c项。26when he designed the shard, piano wanted it to _.achange londons skyline binherit londons tradition cimitate the egyptian styledattract potential visitors答案：b细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句piano says that the spire shape of the shard is part of a great london tradition. 可知the shard的设计初衷是继承伦敦的传统。故选b项。27the critics who refer to social division think the shard _.ais only preferred by the rich bis far away from the poor areacis intended for wealthy peopledis popular only with londoners答案：c细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，批评the shard的人认为只有那些非常富有的人才能买得起那些昂贵的私人公寓并住在宾馆里。故选c项。28which would be the best title for the passage?athe shard:

second largest country in the world. by contrast it has a very small population. there are only more than 30 million people there. most canadians are of british or french origin, and french is an official language of canada as well as english. about 45% of the people are of british origin, that is, they or their parents or grandparents, etc. , come from britain. nearly 30% are of french origin. most of the frenchcanadians live in the province of quebec. over the years, people have come to live in canada from many countries in the world. they are from most european countries and also from china, and other asian countries. however，canada was not an empty country when the europeans began to arrive. canadianindians lived along the coast, by the rivers and lakes and in forests. today there are only about 350,000 indians in the whole country, with their own languages. in the far north live the inuit. there are only 27,000 canadianinuit. their life is hard in such a difficult climate.29about_live in quebec.a30%of the frenchcanadiansb45% of the canadiansc29,000,000 peopled9,000,000 frenchcanadians答案：d推理判断题。加拿大有3000多万人口，近30%的为法国人血统，并且大都居住在魁北克省，故此省的法裔加拿大人约为900万。30the official languages of canada are_.a. english and chineseb. french and englishc. indian and englishd. chinese and inuit答案：b细节理解题。从文章的第一段可知，加拿大的官方语言为英语和法语。31the word “origin” in this passage means“_”a血统b后裔c先驱d猿人答案：a词义猜测题。从该词所处的位置及句中的解释来看，该词义与“血统”最为接近。32. which of the following is true according to this passage?a. there are 27,000 canadianindians in canada.b. more than 13 million people have come from britain and france in recent years.c. there are about 30% of the population whose parents or grandparents come from france.d. there were no people when the europeans began to arrive in canada.答案：c推理判断题。纵观全文，根据文章提供的数字信息，可知近30%的人口是法国血统。dthere is an old saying：“dont judge a book by its cover.” it means that you shouldnt build your first impression of someone on his or her looks alone. but according to a new study，the famous saying might not be correct after all.a group of us scientists have found that the first impression we have of someone else is actually right most of the time.in the study, scientists asked participants to look at a photograph of a person and make a quick judgment about him or her.a month later, the participant and the person in the photo were introduced, and scientists were shocked to find that their judgments often match those that they had made originally.its true that simply looking at someone wont provide you with as much information. but, according to scientists，when making a first impression, people rely more on their instincts(直觉) than on logic(逻辑). “they focus on how that person makes them feel，” paul east wick of the university of texas told live science. “it is very hard to get a sense of this information when simply viewing a profile(简介)as soon as one sees another person, an impression is formed and what we see can sometimes dominate what we know.”of course, no one can be right about everything and your instincts can go wrong sometimes. but even if it is proven to be wrong, once people form an opinion about someone, they have a hard time getting over that opinion later on.the findings help explain why people always tidy themselves up before meeting guests or doing job interviews.“their face constantly reminds us of that first impression，” said rule.people may learn more about another person over time once they get close to each other, but first impressions remain very important and seem difficult to forget.文章大意：人们常说“不要以貌取人”。但根据一项最新研究，这句话可能是不正确的。美国的科学家发现，人们形成的对他人的第一印象大多数时候都是正确的。33. what did the us scientists of the university of texas find out in their recent study?a. its unwise to judge a book by its cover.b. its better to judge by logic than by instincts.c. first impressions are right most of the time.d. profiles provide more information than you have imagined.答案：c细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“a group of us scientists have found that the first impression we have of someone else is actually right most of the time.”可知，美国科学家发现，我们对他人的第一印象大多数时候都是正确的。故选c。34the underlined word “dominate” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to“_”a. determineb changec. cover d. acquire答案：a词义猜测题。根据第三段“.when making a first impression，people rely more on their instincts”可知，人们更多的是依靠直觉来形成第一印象；根据“as soon as one sees another person，an impression is formed and what we see can sometimes domina
