of America It was an experiment The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language is not English Experts said the goal was admirable but the method would not work They were proved wrong The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA And they still are Forty years later Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English But during the years its role has expanded It also helps people learn American English And it provides listeners even those who are native English speakers with information they cannot find elsewhere Today Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week five times a day Each half hour broadcast begins with ten minutes of the latest news followed by 20 minutes of feature programming There is a different short feature every weekday about science development agriculture and environment and on the weekend about news events and American idioms Three elements make Special English unique It has a limited vocabulary of 1500 words Most are simple words that describe objects actions or emotions Some are more difficult They are used for reporting world events and describing discoveries in medicine and science Special English is written in short simple sentences that contain only one idea No idioms are used And Special English is spoken at a slower pace about two thirds the speed of Standard English This helps people learning English hear each word clearly It also helps people who are English speakers understand complex subjects 4 Through the years Special English has become a very popular tool for teaching English even though it was not designed as teaching program It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non traditional way Individuals record the programs and play them over and over to practice their listening skills In countries around the world English teachers assign Special English to their students They praise it

sciences sociology psychology that deal with human relations and human problems some basic knowledge of modern science which would enable future voters to be better informed about current problems like nuclear Finally many educators insist that all college graduates should be familiar with computers and modern information system since the educated professionals of tomorrow will have to understand their machines Is that all No of course not answer the educators We have not mentioned the two great building blocks of education history and literature 1 The best title for this passage might be A Education B A Mastery of English C A Good Education D Something About Study 2 The underlined word drop in the first paragraph means A desertB dislikeC declineD neglect 3 The author thinks that the question about what a good education is A has been answered fairly well B hasn t been put forward yet C has been dealt with successfully D has not been answered satisfactorily 4 Some educational experts believe a mastery of English should include the ability A to read fast B to write and speak well C to write clearly and accurately D to listen and speak skillfully 7 5 Which of the following statements is not mentioned in the passage A Educational programs must meet the demand of a modern world B The students will not get a degree unless they take a number of classes in English history literature the social sciences philosophy the natural sciences and art C A good education should include foreign language and the study of foreign culture D Every student ought to take part in military training D I had an experience some years ago which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves One January I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community Both had died full of years as the Bible would say Their homes happened to be near each other so I paid condolence 吊唁 calls on the two families on the same afternoon At the first home the son of the deceased 已故的 woman said to me If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow she would be alive today It s my fault that she died At the second home the son of the other deceased woman said If only I hadn t insisted on my mother s going to Florida she would be alive today That long airplane ride the sudden change of climate was more than she could take It s my fault that she s dead You see that any time there is a death the survivors will feel guilty Because the course of action they took turned out badly they believe that the opposite course keeping Mother at home putting off the operation would have turned out better After all how could it have turned out any worse There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens especially the bad things that happen It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs and that he makes everything happen in it He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks He cries and someone comes to attend to him When he is hungry people feed him and when he is wet people change him Very often we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen 8 1 The author had to hold the two women s funerals probably because A he wanted to comfort the two families B he was an official from the community C he had great pity for the deceased D he was priest of the local church 2 People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because A they couldn t find a better way to express their sorrow B they believe that they were responsible C they had neglected the natural course of events D they didn t know things often turn out in the opposite direction 3 According to the passage the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably means that A everything in the world is predetermined B the world can be interpreted in different ways C there s an explanation for everything in the world D we have to be sensible in order to understand the world 4 What s the main idea of the passage A Life and death is an unsolved mystery B Every story should have a happy ending C Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault D In general the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away 第第 IIII 卷 非选择题 卷 非选择题 四 阅读填空四 阅读填空 第一节 阅读下面短文 根据以下提示 1 汉语提示 2 首字母提示 3 语境提示 在每个 空格内填入一个适当的英语单词 所填单词要求意义准确 拼写正确 For many of today s advertisers 1 重复 old
