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.28. The main difference between Early and Late Modern English lies in _.A. vocabulary B. pronunciation C. spelling D. grammar29. What helped to increase the vocabulary of Late Modern English?a. the invention of printingb. the Industrial Revolutionc. the colonizationd. the contact with other countriesA. a, b, c B. a, c, d C. a, b, d D. b, c, d30. The third paragraph mainly talks about _.A. English colonies in North AmericaB. the development of American EnglishC. other languages influence on American EnglishD. the difference between American English and British English31. The underlined word “froze” can best be replaced by _.A. remained unchanged B. disappeared C. improved D. kept activeDGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, king of France, was famously dirty. Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the merit of dirt was long-lived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War II. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system. And the latter position is gaining some ground.32. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environmentB. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay inC. they considered bathing as cause of skin diseaseD. They believed disease could be spread in public baths33. Which of the following best describes Henry IVs attitude to bathing?A. CuriousB. AfraidC. ApprovingD. Uninterested34. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By following the order of time.B. By making comparison.C. By providing examplesD. By following the order of importance.35. What is the authors purpose in writing the passages?A. To call attention to the danger of dirt. B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To present the change of views on dirt. D. To stress the role of dirt.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。How to be happy in your lifeNewborn babies are the happiest in the world. Unfortunately, as we grow up, worries start working up their way upon our minds. Start with little things and work up to bigger ones. However, we can achieve happiness again with just some small changes.36Happiness is matter of choice. A person who knows how to be happy will always be happy, no matter what situation we put him into . on the other hand, a person who always finds faults with everyone and everything around him cannot be happy, no matter how hard he tries.Laugh a lot.When we smile or laugh, the muscles in our face excite the brain to produce “happy chemicals”. These chemicals make us feel happy. 37 Laugh at ourselves, laugh at our problems, laugh at our little worries and then see what difference it makes to our life.38Being angry with other at their mistakes will earn us nothing. Instead it will make us even more happy. Just letting go of others mistakes every once in a while help us to be happy.Live out of the past.Often, the dark shadows from our past ruin every single second of our life and turn it into a bad memory. 39Learn to give.Giving is a satisfying experience and the joy if giving cannot be expressed in words. One who gives all his life ends up leading a happier life than the ones who concentrates only on receiving.One must understand that happiness is a state of mind. 40 Thus, the answer to the question “how to be happy in life” only lies within us.A. Forget others mistakes.B. Sounds silly, but it does work.C. Finally, we forget what happiness is.D. So, find humor in everything around us.E. Make a choice.F. Nothing in the world can make us happy or unhappy, unless we allow it.G. Let go of all bad memories preventing us from leading a happy life at present.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I was said to be the worst student in my class, and my family thought I was hopeless.
