DGiven解析：本题考查非谓语动词。如果把前半句补充完整应为：If they are given the right kind of training，主语they即these teenage soccer players与give之间是被动的关系，所以用过去分词。根据“主、从句主语一致(且从句谓语动词为be时)可省略从句主语”的原则，连词if也可以省略，所以得出given the right kind of training。答案：D14_many times，he finally understood it.ATold BTelling CHaving told DHaving been told解析：本题考查非谓语动词的用法。主语与tell之间是被动和完成的关系，所以用having been done来表示。答案：D15Eating too much fat can_heart

The English language is changing fast，thanks to the rapid progress of technology.We all have a choice：we can either bury our heads in the sand and spend the rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were alive and well，or we can embrace (拥抱) the new English，enter into the spirit of the Internet age and call it “weblish” “You cant avoid it，for the simple reason that whenever a new variety of language comes along，it inevitably impacts (冲击) on the language as a whole，”says Dr.David Crystal，honorary professor of linguistics (语言学) at the University of Wales in Bangor，whose book“Language and the Internet”has just been published. The trouble with keeping up with the new English is not so much that there are so many new words but that the old words no longer mean what we thought they did.In the past，if someone said they did not have Windows，you would have to suppose they lived in a cave.These days，it is probably because they use a Mac (which is a computer，not a raincoat)Spam is as disliked as it ever was，but whereas it once meant an unappetizing (没有食欲的) canned meat，it now stands for unwanted“junk”email.Spellings are changing，too.Not only is textmessaging playing“hvc wth vrbs”havoc (混乱) with verbs，but the conventions of email communication place little emphasis on “perfect spelling” Weblish loves to see nouns happily become verbs(“Please bookmark this site”)，and verbs become nouns(“Send me the download”)Verbs and prepositions are regularly thrown together to become new nouns or adjectives(dialup，logon，printout，pulldown，upload)，while others are created from simply pairing nouns：cyberspace，ethernet，Internet，hyperlink，metatag，netspeak.36The best title of this passage would be “_”AKeep Up with the Latest WeblishBKeep Up with the Latest Development in EnglishCNewlyinvented English WordsDTechnology and English解析：文章介绍了网络英语的最新发展和构成方式，目的是让人们不断地加深对它的了解。答案：A37We can infer from the first paragraph that_.Asome people wish Shakespeare were still aliveBpeople may have different attitudes towards weblishCall people welcome weblishDweblish causes fear among people解析：文章第一段描述了对待网络英语问题的两种态度：抵制它或接受它。答案：B38The third paragraph is mainly about_.Adifferent meanings of English wordsBthe rapid changes of English wordsCthe difficulty in understanding words related to computer and the InternetDcommon words used on the Internet解析：文章第三段的第一句话是本段的主题句，也是本题的答案。答案：C39The author thinks the main difficulty people in keeping up with weblish is that_.Aold words take on new meaningsBthere are so many new wordsCthe technology is changing too fastDweblish words are full of spelling mistakes解析：根据文章第三段的第一句话可知，旧词汇词义发生了变化。答案：A40David Crystal would probably agree that_.Apeople should not accept weblishBweblish can cause misunderstandings among peopleCweblish will destroy the English languageDpeople should know something about weblish解析：从文章第二段Dr.David Crystal所说的话“You cant avoid it，.”可看出他的态度，人们不应回避网络英语，而应该了解它。答案：DB Within a few years，girls in Europe have become heavier smokers than their male peers，for reasons experts still fail to understand，according to a British study presented last week to an international conference on smoking.Antismoking activists at the second “Tobacco orHealth”confe-rence pointed out that while adults were giving up smoking in ever growing numbers，more and more young people were taking up the habit，particularly girls；one 15yearold in four was a regular smoker，according to a study conducted in 27 countries in Europe.In western Europe，girls were more likely than boys to smoke.In Germany or in England，one third of the girls were habitual smokers compared to one in four boys.In eastern Europe，the girls “still lag behind” their western counterparts but were“catching up” quickly，said the study entitled “Home Behavior on Smoking Consumption.” The reasons for this pattern are unclear.They appear to contradict those who blame the trend on home background since growing numbers of adults，and therefore parents，are giving up smoking. Some theories claim girls see smoking as a way to affirm their equality with their male friends even though the girls have more than just caught up with the boys and in many cases now smoke more. Others say girls are a prime target of tobacco advertising campaigns which have abandoned the cowboys image to promote that of the modern，active young woman keen to stay slim.All the specialists agree however，that they see no rational (合理的) explanation for this trend.41All of the following are the reasons of
