This can make life difficult for foreigners. Suppose a foreign boy asks an English girl to go out with him and she says, “If I finish my work, Ill meet you in the caf at 7 oclock.” Is she saying “yes” or “no” to his invitation?In grammatical terms, she is using the conditional structure. By using the conditional, speakers of English can avoid giving a “yes” or “no” answer to a question. It enables people to be diplomatic(婉转的). If the girl doesnt want to go out with the boy, she wont turn up at the caf. She will let him understand she is still working. If she wants to go out with him, but doesnt want to appear too easy to catch, she has achieved that with her reply. But in this case, as she uses the first conditional which shows probability, she is quite likely to turn up at the caf. Being polite can make life very difficult.The conditional is often used by people in the news politicians, for example who wish to avoid speaking out their ideas. This is very important if they are on their way to discuss an agreement. No one wants to give away his or her points before he or she starts. A government spokesman might say to a group of workers, “If we could pay you more, we would.” The use of the conditional here makes room for argument although the speaker is using the second conditional form, which shows improbability. So it is unlikely the workers will get their rise.“If” is a small word, which appears often in the English language. It can show politeness, reported speech and conditionals such as the Firstprobability if I can come to your party, I will; the Secondimprobability if I saw you tomorrow, Id give you the book and the thirdimpossibility (meaning it is too late to change something that has happened) if you have told me, I would have helped you.41. The using of the conditional can make a speech _.A. clearer B. quickerC. more politeD. more exciting42. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Language used in the news should make room to argue.B. English people never speak out their ideas in public.C. Usually English girls are not easy to catch.D. The word “if” can show different meanings.43. In the passage, “If we could pay you more, we would.” probably means _.A. the workers problems are not difficultB. the spokesman doesnt give any promiseC. the workers will make more moneyD. the spokesman keeps his word44. The passage is mainly talking about _.A. the conditional in communication B. how to invite a girl in BritainC. British people and their lifeD. some language pointsBIn a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “ to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast. Over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices.Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university based program, it will increase the childrens chances of eventually being admitted to top rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out of the heavy intellectualizing (知识化) in some Japanese kindergarten.45. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe _.A. Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than American parentsB. Japans economic success is a result of its scientific achievementsC. Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instructionD. Japans higher education is superior to theirs46. Most Americans in recent survey believe that preschools should also put importance to _.A. problem solving B. group experienceC. parental guidanceD. individually oriented development47. In Japans preschool education, the focus is on _.A. preparing children academicallyB. developing childrens artistic interestsC. tapping childrens potential D. shaping childrens potential48. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university based kindergartens?A. They can do better in their future studies.B. They can accumulate more group experience there.C. They can be individually oriented when they grow up.D. They can have better chances of getting a first rate education.CWASHINGTON Mar2,2020 More people than ever are driving under the influence of their cell phones, according to a survey(调查) published Tuesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.The survey showed 8 percent of drivers, or 1.2 million people, were using hand held or hands free cell phones during daylight hours last year, a 50 percent increase since 2002 and a 100 percent rise in four years.All that talking is a potential safety problem, said NHTSA spokesman Rae Tyson. “While we dont have hard proof that theres been an increase in the number of accidents, we know that talking on the phone can affect driver performance,” he said.The District of Columbia and New Hampshire no longer allow talking on hand held cell phones while driving, according to the Governors Highway Safety Association.Some communities, such as Brookline, Mass. And Santa Fe, require hands-free cell phones, but about a half dozen states prevent local governments from limiting cell phone use in cars.Young drivers, between 16 and 24, increased their talking on cell phones by 60 percent between 2002 and 2020.The National Transportation Safety Board said it wants all 50 states to ban those with learners permits from using cell phones or other wireless devices while driving. New Jersey and Maine are the only two that have passed such laws.The survey was carried out between June 7 and July 11, 2020, at 1,200 road sites across the country and , in some cases, done by telephone.49. Which of the following shows the right number of drivers who used cell phones while driving?A. B. C. D.50. The underlined word “ potential “ in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A. seriousB. possibleC. commonD. obvious51. It can be inferred that _.A. there isnt hard proof that using cell phones while driving will cause more accidentsB. some districts will no longer allow drivers to talk on handheld cell phonesC. people hold different opinions as to whether cell phone use in cars should be limitedD. only two states have passed laws to ban drivers using cell phones while driving52. The main purpose of this text is to _.A. encourage drivers to use hand-free cell phonesB. inform people about cell phone use while drivingC. advise drivers to use cell phones carefullyD. warn people not to use cell phones in carsDThe word conservation（保护，保存） has a thrifty meaning. To conserve is to save and protect, to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until very recently, had the foolish idea the treasure were “limitless” and “inexhaustible”. Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature, and which means that, as in a living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will sooner or later be harmful to all the others.Fifty years ago nature study was not part of the school work; scientific forestry was a new idea; wood was still cheap because it could be brought in any quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not national problems; nobody had yet studied long-term climatic cycles in relation to proper land use; even the word “conservation” had nothing of the meaning that it has for us today.For the interests of ourselves and those who will come after us, we must now set about repairing the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservations should, therefore, be made a part of everyones daily life. To know about the water table in the ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic formulas. We need to know why all watersheds（分水岭） need the protection of plant life and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to yield (produce) their full benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know the importance of big, nature trees, because living space for most of mans fellow creatures on this planet is figured not only in square measure of surface but also in cubic volume above the earth. In brief, it should be our goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.53. According to the author the greatest mistake of our forefathers was that _.A. they had no idea about scientific forestryB. they had little or no sense of environmental protectionC. they did not realize the importanceD. they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials54. With a view to correcting the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that_.A. we plant more treesB. we be taught environmental science, as well as the science of plantsC. environmental education be directed toward everyoneD. we return to nature55. What does the author imply by saying “living spaceis figuredalso in cubic volume above the earth?A. Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller.B. Our living space should be measured in cubic volume.C. We need to take some measures to protect space.D. We must create better living conditions for both birds and animals.56. The underlined word “restore” probably is closet to the meaning of _.A. put back B. bring back C. keep D. protectEWhat does it mean to say that we live in a world of persuasion? It means that we live among competing interests. Your roommates need to study for an exam may take priority（优先） over pizza. Your instructor may have good reasons not to change your grade. And the object of your romantic interest may have other choices.In such a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair and favorable consideration to our points of view. When we persuade, we want to influence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail-other points of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, the situation, and the merit of the case. But when we practice the art of persuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention it deserves.Some people, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it as an unwelcome interruption into their lives. Just the opposite, we believe that persuasion is unavoidable-to live is to persuade. Persuasion may be ethical(合乎道义的) or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring or degrading. Persuaders may enlighten our mind or prey（捕获） on our weakness. Ethical persuasion, however, calls on sound reasoning and is sensitive to the feelings and needs of listeners. Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdom of the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, the most basic part of education is learning to resist the one kind of
