1、WhichofthefollowingstatementsaboutChineseistrue?

A^Chinesewillsoonbecometheuniversallanguage.

BNChineseisalanguageofintellectuals.

C、TherearemanydialectsinChinese.

DxChinesewillberegardedasimportantasEnglish.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理判断题。本题考查复合句的理解。本题最大的干扰选项是B,理

解第1段最后一句是关键。可以先把定语从句和分词结构去掉，剩下的就是对

Chinese的完整描述，即：alanguageofintellectualsalongsidealargenumberof

variations,由此可见，选项B过于片面。A项与首段第2句不符，D项未提及。

2、Accordingtothesecondparagraph,theauthormaymostprobablyagreethat.

A、otherlanguagesshouldbetaughtprincipallyforpracticalreasons

B、learningalanguageistoknowacountry'sculturalandintellectualsystem

C、Britisheducationhasarationalapproachtotheteachingofforeignlanguages

D、learninganotherlanguagewellistooexhaustingandcomplicated

标准答案：B

知识点解析：观点态度题。本题其实是要求判断说法的正误。第2段的第2句表明

了作者的态度，也就是选项B。选项A、C都与原文的陈述不符，选项D不是作者

的观点。

3、Theworstdisadvantageofcomputertranslationisthat.

A^theexpressionsusedinitarealwaysbehindthetimes

B、itcanonlybeusedinthetranslationofcertainlanguages

C、itcannotreplaceliveknowledgeofthedifferentlanguages

D、itcanneverexpresstheimpliedmeaningsbeyondwordassociations

标准答案：D」

知识点解析：推理判断题。本题考查强对比处。第3段第5句中的Stillmore

important是答题的关键，表明紧接着的才是计算机翻译最大的缺点，而前面提到

的都不是最严重的，由此可推断选项A和C不对，而选项B在文中并无相关细节

支持。

4、Bysaying"languagescomewithheavyculturalbaggage1',theauthormeans

that.

A^muchunnecessaryculturalbackgroundblockstheunderstandingofalanguage

B、alanguageusuallycontainsimportantculturaltraditionsandcustom

C^itisaburdenforalanguagelearnertounderstandtherelatedculture

D、theunderstandingofalanguageisaffectedbythevariouscontextsitisin

标准答案：B

知识点解析：词义推断题。本题主要考查baggage一词的理解。baggage带有“惯

例、传统''的意思，但这个意思并不包括在考纲词汇里。baggage虽有“包袱、累赘”

之义，但从文中可见，baggage是与前一句中的comexl同样重要的东西，都能影响

对语言的理解，因此，作者使用这个词并无贬义，由此可否定选项A和C。从

baggage后的too词可推断，baggage是与context不同的影响理解语言的因素，

由此也可否定选项Do

5、Theauthorthinksitwouldbeabadthingif.

ANEnglishisspokenbyfewerpeopleinthe21stcentury

B、foreignlanguagesbecomelessimportantinthe21stcentury

C^Englishisnotasimportantasforeignlanguagesinthe21stcentury

D、foreignlanguagesareregardedaslessimportantinthe21stcentury

标准答案：D

知识点解析：事实细节题。本题考查含有插入成分的句子的理解。最后一段最后一

句中的averybadthing是两个不同句子中的表语，应把句子重新整理为“butthey

mightbeperceivedtobeaverybadthing,andthatwouldintheendbeaverybadthing

too”，而且只有选项D中的regard表达了perceive的意思，因此可以确定选项D正

确。
