Nobody does. I am at present speaking to an audience of many thousands of gramophonists（学话者）, many of 22 are trying hard to follow my words, syllable by syllable. If I were to speak to you as carelessly as I speak to my wife at home, this record would be 23 ; and if I were to speak to my wife at home as carefully as I am speaking to you, she would think that I was going mad.As a public speaker I have to take care that every word I say is heard clearly at the far 24 of large halls containing thousands of people. “But at home, when I have to consider only my wife sitting 25 six feet of me at breakfast, I take so little pains with my speech that very often, 26 giving me the expected answer, she says, “Dont mumble, and dont turn you head away when you speak. I cant hear a word you are saying.” And she also is a little careless. Sometimes I have to say “what” two or three times during our meal. And she 27 me of growing deafer and deafer, though she does not say so, because, as I am now over seventy, it might be true.We all have company manners. If you were to 28 a strange family and to listen through the keyhole before going in not that I would suggest for a moment that you are capable of doing such a very unladylike or ungentlemanlike thing; but still, if, in your enthusiasm for studying languages you could bring yourself to do it just for a few seconds to hear how a family speak to one another when there is 29 listening to them, and then walk into the room and hear how very 30 they speak in your presence, the change would surprise you. Even when our home manners are as good as our company manners and of course they ought to be better they are always different; and the difference is greater in speech than in anything else.21.

Children should grow along with playing games; for, 31 playing games, they can not only acquire knowledge, but also cultivate their abilities to get along with others.However, most children are 32 ( face ) with a completely different situation. Most parents fear that games will prevent children from increasing new knowledge and 33 the children will fail in the future examinations. So, instead of 34 ( let ) the children 35 find and learn naturally from their surroundings, they force their children to take part in various kinds of classes, learning English, playing 36 piano or practising drawing, etc. Whats more, some parents put 37 the childrens toys which are very useful in developing childrens imagination and practical abilities.38 is a piece of good advice to those parents: 39 you want to expect your child to be able to accomplish something, you must first of all develop his ability to adapt to the new surroundings. That cram education can lead to nothing 40 a failure in the childrens growth.III 阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从4155各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。ALanguage learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these cant be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech. It is a problem we need to get out. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.41. Before children start speaking_.A. they need equal amount of listeningB. they need different amounts of listeningC. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructionsD. they cant understand and obey the adults oral instructions42. Children who start speaking late _.A. may have problems with their listeningB. probably do not hear enough language spoken around themC. usually pay close attention to what they hearD. often take a long time in learning to listen properly43. A babys first noises are _.A. an expression of his moods and feelingsB. an early form of languageC. a sign that he means to tell you somethingD. an imitation of the speech of adults44. The problem of deciding at what point a babys imitations can be considered as speech_.A. is important because words have different meanings for different peopleB. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with ageC. is not especially important because the changeover takes place graduallyD. is one that should be completely ignored（忽略）because childrens use of words is often meaningless45. The author implies_.A. parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitatingC. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakD. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quicklyBAs the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between flight or fight and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we cant remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.46. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _.A. they regard working as their greatest enjoymentB. they believe that work is superior to relaxationC. they are traveling fast all the timeD. they are becoming busier with their work than ever before47. According to the author, the most important character for a good manager is his _.A. strong will to hold out stressB. knowing the art of relaxationC. high sense of responsibilityD. having control over performance48. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?A. We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.B. Stress is always harmful to peoples healthC. Its easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.D. Different people can bear different amount of stress.49. In the last sentence of the passage, do so refers to _.A. expose ourselves to stressB. find ways to deal with stressC. remove stress from our livesD. establish links between diseases and stress50. According to the author, the right attitude toward stress is _.A. to avoid itB. to try to cope with itC. to regard it as a vital motivationD. to find some relaxationCIn a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French,and English and all at the same time. This sounds incredible, but Alex Waibel,a computer science professor at USs Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Germanys University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other.One application, called Lecture Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into another. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Users also have to be trained how to use the programme.Another prototype(雏形机) can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what language they speak. “It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you,” Waibel said.Prefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录) the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal(液晶) display(LCD) screen.Then theres the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech. The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a persons face, according to researchers.During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMUs Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Sang Jun had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then he mouthed without speaking aloud a few words in Mandarin(普通话) to the audience. A few seconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish: “Let me introduce our new prototype.”This particular gadget(器械),when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or, as Waibel put it, “to switch your mouth to a foreign language”. “The idea behind the universitys prototypes is to create good enough bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world,” Waibel said.With spontaneous(自发的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio, tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders of different countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.51. Which of the following statements is not true ?A. A lecture translation can translate what you said into other languages easily.B. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.C. There is no Muscle Translator in the world now.D. The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.52. What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. Lecture Translation.B. Multiple Translator.C. Muscle Translator.D. Translation Prototype.53. Whats the final destination of inventing the language translators?A. To make cultural exchanges between different countries easier.B. To help students learn foreign languages more easily.C. To make people live in foreign countries more comfortably.D. To help people learn more foreign languages in the future.54. What can be inferred from the seventh paragraph?A. The translator is so good that it can translate any language into the very language you need.B. The translator is becoming more and more common in the world as a bridge. C. With the help of the translator, you only need to open your mouth when you want to say something without saying the exact words at all.D. The translator needs to be improved before being put into market.55. Where can this passage probably be excerpted from?A. A newspaper.B. A magazine on science.C. A fairy tale.D. A scientific fantasy book.第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分
