27、ers六、BPart Reading (总题数：5，分数：40.00)BPassage One/BEsperanto is an artificial language designed to serve internationally as an secondary means of communication among speakers of different languages. The creation of Ludovic Lazar Zamenhof, a Polish-Jewish ophthalmologist(眼科学者), Esperanto was first pres
28、ented in 1887. An international movement to promote its use, although originally annoyed with disagreement, has continued to flourish and has members in more than 80 countries.Esperanto is used internationally across language boundaries by at least one million people, particularly in specialized fie
29、lds. It is used in personal contacts, on radio broadcasts, and in a number of publications of both modern works and classics. Its popularity has spread from Europe both East and West to such countries as Brazil and Japan. It is, however, in China that Esperanto had had its greatest impact. It is tau
30、ght in universities and used in many translations (often in scientific or technological works). El Popola Cinio (From Peoples China), a monthly magazine in Esperanto, is read worldwide. Radio Beijings Esperanto program is the most popular program in Esperanto in the world.Esperantos vocabulary is dr
31、awn primarily from Latin, the Romance languages, English, and German. Spelling is completely regular. A simple and consistent set of endings indicates grammatical functions of words. Thus, for example, every noun ends in o, every adjective in a, and the infinitive(不定式) of every verb in i. Esperanto
32、also has a highly productive system of constructing new words from old: ami, to love; malami, to hate; malameno, the tendency to hate. （分数：8.00）(1).Which statement is true according to the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Esperanto was created by a Polish.B.Esperanto was accepted at the very beginningC.Esperanto
33、has the greatest influence in Poland.D.Esperanto is a written language.(2).Which statement is true about Esperanto in China?（分数：2.00）A.It is taught in elementary schools.B.About one million people speak Esperanto in China.C.China has a radio program in Esperanto.D.El Popola Cinio is a magazine publi
34、shed every week.(3).What conclusion can we draw from the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Esperanto is a dying language.B.Esperanto has become the worlds second language.C.Esperanto is the native language of its inventor.D.Esperanto is probably a language easy to learn.(4).Which of the following is the best title
35、 for the passage?（分数：2.00）A.The Origin of EsperantoB.Esperanto in ChinaC.Elements of EsperantoD.EsperantoBPassage Two/BBeliefs are shared ideas about how the world operates. They may be summaries and interpretations of the past, explanations of the present or predictions for the future, and may be b
36、ased on common sense, folk wisdom, religion, science, or some combination of these. Some beliefs apply to intangible (无形的) things (for example, whether the human spirit lives on after .death). All cultures distinguish between ideas for which people have reasonable proof (for Americans, for ex ample,
37、 the idea that smoking increases the risk of cancer) and ideas that have not been, or cannot be, tested (for Americans, for example, the idea that there is intelligent life on other planets). Where and how people draw the line varies, however.Bemuse beliefs shape both personal and social experience,
38、 basic differences in beliefs can account for some of the problems Vietnamese immigrants have had in American society. One exampie is beliefs concerning the nature of time. People in Western cultures believe time is irreversible (不可回转的). We think of time as a straight line. On every January 1st we a
39、dd another year to the calendar. Traditionally, the Vietnamese have reckoned time in sixty-yesr cycles. Every sixty years the cycle starts over with .the year with which it began. Such a conception of time suggests that current events are not unique; that things come around again. American beliefs r
40、egarding time as linear create the sense that “time is ticking away“; the Vietnamese belief that time is cyclical creates an entirely different state of mind.Beliefs apply not only to concepts like time but also to mundane (世俗的，世间的) aspects of the material world. Residents of San Francisco were offe
41、nded greatly to learn that rural immigrants from Laos and Cambodia had been stalking(蹑手蹑脚地走近) their dinner in Golden Gate Park. San Franciscans could not understand how the newcomers could hunt and eat squirrels(松鼠) and stray dogs; the Indochinese(印度支那人) could not understand why San Franciscans did
42、not a classic case of the same object (in this case, dogs) having different cultural meanings. Even within our own culture we can see great variation in how people think about the same re source. Some people see dogs as working animals, acquired to protect our apartments or livestock; others treat t
43、heir dogs as special friends or even substitute children.（分数：8.00）(1).According to the passage, beliefs _.（分数：2.00）A.can be explained by common senseB.are predictions for the futureC.vary in different culturesD.can only apply to abstract concepts(2).If you were a Vietnamese, you would believe that t
44、ime _.（分数：2.00）A.can not be reversedB.is passing by tickingC.can be recurredD.is moving in cycles(3).The word “unique“ (Para. 2) most probably means _.（分数：2.00）A.usualB.having no likeC.differentD.having no standard(4).It can be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.the Indochinese are glad to
45、hunt and eat squirrelsB.San Franciscans enjoy stalking their dinner in Golden Gate ParkC.some people treat dogs as special friends or even substitute childrenD.varied ideas about the same object can be found even in one cultureBPassage Three/BThe computer has changed the way we work, team, communica
46、te, and play; Virtually ewery kind of organization throughout the world conducts business with computers. Students, teachers, and research scientists use the computer as a learning tool. Millions of individuals and organizations communicate with one another over a network of computers called the Int
47、ernet. Computer games entertain people of all ages.Almost all computers are electronic digital computers. They are electronic in their use of electric current(电流) to carry information. They are digital in. that they process information as units of electric charge representing numbers. The word digit
48、al means having to do with numbers. To enable a computer to process information that is not numerical such as words, pictures, or sounds the computer or some other the strange drab(黄褐色的) feathering, so unlike that of most birds, gives them a cloak(伪装)of invisibility while they sleep. And when night falls, out they come to scratch in the ground and find worms and feed to their hearts content.They couldnt do that so effectively if they didnt have another peculiarity that I have not mentioned yet. The nostrils(鼻孔)
