Each passage is followed by six questions or unfinished statements. For each of
22、 them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. BPassage One/BIts not just your imagination. In cities from coast to coast, the use of Spanish is booming, and is proliferating in ways no other language has before in the U.S. history-other than English of course.Its this sort of environment that i
23、s a cause for concern for many. Mauro Mujica heads a group called “U. S. English,“ which lobbies for official English laws across the country. Hes concerned that with so many Spanish speakers entering the country, the U.S. will become a nation split by language, much like Canada.“Now were beginning
24、to divide ourselves, to split along linguistic lines. Were beginning to see pockets of people who speak other languages and no English whatsoever. “His fear is hardly universal. Gregory Rodriguez is a fellow with the New America Foundation, a non-partisan think-tank based in Washington, D.C. He call
25、s Mujicas arguments “ridiculous. “This process of immigrant enclaves (少数民族聚集地) and linguistic enclaves is an age-old American process. Weve all heard the quotes from Benjamin Franklin about his concerns that German- Americans would never assimilate. These concerns are as old as the American republic
26、. “Rodriguez argues that the current boom in the use of Spanish is due ahnost entirely to new immigrants, and that their children will, at least for the most part, learn English. He points to 1990 census data, which indicates that by the third generation, two-thirds of all Hispanic children speak En
27、glish exclusively. Whether that number is going up or down will be difficult to determine since the Census Bureau didnt track that information in its most recent census.But there may be at least one piece of anecdotal evidence. Spanish-language movie theaters once flourished in the Los Angeles area.
28、 There were dozens of these theaters just fifteen years ago. Today there are only seven.“There is a myth that somehow immigrants come to the most powerful nation in the world simply to resist its cultural embrace,“ says Rodriguez. “But it is a myth. “Immigrant enclaves are, of course, common through
29、out American History. German and Polish enclaves were common throughout the Midwest. The Italians flourished in New York. But those languages largely faded from use in the U.S. Few are predicting that will happen with Spanish. Its here to stay, although we wont know its ultimate impact for generatio
30、ns.（分数：6.00）(1).The group “ U. S. English“ believes that the spread of Spanish _.（分数：1.00）A.adds color to the muhicultural societyB.poses enough threat to national unityC.creates more jobs for the immigrantsD.causes trouble with regard to equality(2).Which of the following best describes Gregory Rod
31、riguezs reaction to the increasing use of Spanish?（分数：1.00）A.Worried.B.Calm.C.Indifferent.D.Surprised.(3).The problems caused by immigrants speaking their mother tongues _.（分数：1.00）A.are only a recent phenomenonB.vary with different immigrant groupsC.dated back to the founding of the nationD.started
32、 with the modern immigration system(4).Spanish movie theaters are mentioned to show that _.（分数：1.00）A.Spanish movies are not popular in the U. S.B.Spanish-speaking people have lost interest in movie theatersC.the number of the Spanish-speaking people is on the declineD.Spanish language will continue
33、 to spread in the United States(5).It is implied in the passage that _.（分数：1.00）A.it is too early to decide on the impact of the use of SpanishB.Spanish may fade from use in the U. S. , like other languagesC.Spanish-speaking immigrants are more active in societyD.the spread of Spanish is similar to
34、that of other languages(6).The best title for the passage is “ _“.（分数：1.00）A.Make English Our Official LanguageB.Immigrants and Their LanguagesC.Communication Problem with ImmigrantsD.The Spanish Language in the U.S.BPassage Two/BWhile the college campus may be the perfect forum in which to exhibit
35、your taste for the latest in fashion style, the interview is not the place to do so. With very few unusual exceptions, sandals and sweatshirts are out. Oxfords and business suits are still in. Even though many companies have relaxed the internal company dress code, interviews still follow the conser
36、vative standard. Dont buck the trend.Unfortunately, most college grads are underprepared with proper interview dress. They feel they can “ get by“ with what is already in their wardrobe. Usually not. Remember that stylish is not conservative. You should be doing the talking, not your clothes.This is
37、 not to say that you need to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. Go for quality over quantity. One or two well-chosen business suits will serve you all the way to the first day on the job and beyond. Then, when you are making some money, you can begin to round out your wardrobe. For now, no one wil
38、l fault you for wearing the same sharp outfit each time you interview.If you are still not sure how to dress for the interview, call them and ask! But this is one time when you do not want to call the Hiring Managerinstead, ask to be put through to Human Resources. Sure, you run the risk of someone
39、in HR thinking you are a social idiot, but thats a lot better than having the Hiring Manager distracted by inappropriate interview dress.While many work environments have shifted to business casual as the work standard, business suits are still the interview standard. When in doubt, it is almost alw
40、ays better to err on the side of conservatism.One final note on interview dress: while it goes without saying that your interview elothes should be neat and clean, very few interviewees give the same time and attention to their shoes. Shoes? Yes, shoes. I am aware of at least one Corporate Recruiter
41、 who forms first impressions based solely on shoes. He subjectively judges that those who pay attention to details like their shoes are also likely to be diligent in their work life. And it is not just that persons opinion. So it is not enough to be elean, pressed, and ironed. Make sure your shoes a
42、re conservative, clean, and polished.（分数：6.00）(1).In paragraph 1, “Dont buck the trend. “ probably means “_“.（分数：1.00）A.Dont lead the trendB.Dont resist the trendC.Dont follow the trendD.Dont go against the trend(2).It is suggested in the passage that for interviews and future jobs, _.（分数：1.00）A.the
43、 present clothes of most college graduates are good enoughB.it is necessary for college graduates to buy everything newC.the requirements for proper dress vary greatly in different companyD.it is necessary to prepare some high-quality business suits to begin with(3).Wearing the same suit for each in
44、terview _.（分数：1.00）A.may not do harm to your imageB.may not be accepted by most peopleC.will cost you your job opportunityD.will affect the interviewers judgment(4).For more information on interview dress, its better for you to call _.（分数：1.00）A.the reeeptionistB.human resourcesC.the service centerD
45、.the hiring manager(5).The author suggests that the attention paid to shoes _.（分数：1.00）A.reflects the personal judgment of only a few interviewersB.is based on a rather funny judgment linking shoes to workC.should be a point to consider in preparing for interviewsD.has helped many people on their wa
46、y to a successful career(6).The passage is mainly written to _.（分数：1.00）A.introduce the whole interview process to newcomersB.discuss the interview preparations in terms of clothingC.recommend the latest fashion in the business worldD.analyze the difference between college and office wearBPassage Th
47、ree/BMusicians are fascinated with the possibility that music may be found in nature; it makes our own desire for art seem all the more essential. Over the past few years no less a bold musical explorer than Peter Gabriel has been getting involved. At the Research Center in Atlanta, Georgia, he has
48、been making music together with Kanzi, one of the bonobo apes (倭黑猩猩) involved in the long-term language acquisition studies of Sue and Duane Savage-Rumbaugh.I have seen the video of Kanzi picking notes out on a piano-like keyboard, with Gabriel and members of his band playing inside the observation
49、booth in the lab. (They did it this way because Kanzi had bitten one of his trainers a few days previouslyinterspecies communication is not without its dangers. ) The scene is beautiful, the ape trying out the new machine and looking thoughtfully pleased with what comes out. He appears to be listening, playing the right notes. It is tentative but moving, the a
