the world.The effect is most noticeable in pop music.Foreign groups often record in English,and the words are picked up and repeated in the same language everywhere,even by children who otherwise have little or no mand of the language.I once met a Brazilian child of about ten who could count “one,two,three”,but only by adding the words “oclock,four oclock rock” at the end.Some people are often strongly critical of the influence of English on their languageespecially when an English word replaces a traditional word.In 1977,France passed a law banning the use of English words in official situations if an equivalent(意義相同的) French expression existedbut the law seemed to be honoured more in the breaking than in the observing.Some other countries have considered introducing a similar law despite the evidence that such laws have very little effect,and that the arrival of loan words(外來詞) can greatly enrich a language(as indeed in the case of English itself,which has a long history of weling foreign words).However,not everyone is critical.In particular,mercial firms and advertisers are well aware of the potential selling power that the use of English vocabulary can bring.In Japan,English is even used in television mercials,despite the fact that the majority of viewers would not understand exactly what was being said:the excellence implied by the mere use of English is apparently enough to mand the strategy to the advertisers.Most of the influence of English is upon the vocabulary of foreign languages,but surveys are slowly bringing to light several cases where word order or word structure has been affected.Sentences of the type “The book sells well”,using an active construction for a passive meaning,have begun to appear in Danish(Bogen soelger godt).Several languages keep the English plural ending when they make use of a loan word,and do not translate it into the native form,e.g.drinks.There are many other such cases.1.Why could the Brazilian child speak “one,two,three” in English?A.Because he had seen these words everywhere in the street.B.Because he had learnt how to tell the time in English.C.Because he had made himself master of English.D.Because he had heard these words in songs a lot.2.What can we infer about the law passed in France in 1977?A.It was strict.B.It was unfair.C.It was often ignored.D.It was strongly opposed.3.Some Japanese mercials use English in the hope of .A.following the American trendB.being world-famousC.enriching JapaneseD.increasing sales4.The last paragraph is mainly developed by .A.providing examplesB.making parisonsC.explaining grammar rulesD.analyzing language changeBAccording to a historian，uniforms were introduced into the United States around 1979 to deal with the problems of violence among students.Statistical reports state that only 15% of primary schools and around 10% of secondary schools in the United States have strictly carried out the uniform policy.In recent times it has bee the most debated topic among parents and educators，with many critics stating the fact that wearing uniforms has no effect on the thought process of a student nor does it considerably reduce inequality among the masses.Students are instructed to follow certain rules：for boys，pants，shirts with turtlenecks，sweaters and jackets are acceptable，while in some schools，shorts are strictly forbidden；similarly，for girls，long skirts，blouses，pants and flatheeled shoes are acceptable.School uniforms in other countries such as Thailand，Indonesia，India and Pakistan were introduced during the British colonial period.In these countries，girls in senior schools usually wear broad trousers and boys wear pants and shirts.In preschool though，girls wear skirts and blouses and boys wear short pants and shirts.In other parts like New Zealand and Australia where the British colonial rule was in effect，the uniform system was followed in the public school system.The dress sense closely resembled that of the English students.The purpose of a school uniform is to promote team spirit，discipline and increase equality among all students.Though uniforms have intended to wipe out the discrimination in the weaker section，critics have a different story to say.According to them，uniforms have no such great effect on students.This standardized dress has not helped students remove any barriers and is adding costs to the parents.In many countries，though students wearing uniforms has produced some positive results，in the United States，the implementation(實(shí)施)requires a lot of efforts before we can achieve full success.1What does the underlined word “masses” in the second paragraph refer to?ASchools. BParents.CStudents. DTeachers.2What can we know about the uniform system in Australia according to Paragraph 3?AThe uniform system in the public school follows Britain.BThe Australian students dress more casually.CThe uniform system is the same as that in New Zealand.DMost Australian students wear school uniforms.3Whats the intention of school uniforms at first?ATo encourage students to be more diligent.BTo improve students academic achievement.CTo prevent students fighting with each other.DTo promote the equality among students.4Whats the attitude of the critics towards school uniforms?ASupportive. BNeutral.CNegative. DFactual.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇議論文，通過介紹美國目前校服的普及情況，討論了校服的作用，最后指出在某些國家，如美國，校服制度的實(shí)施還需要努力。【難句分析】In other parts like New Zealand and Australia where the British colonial rule was in effect，the uniform system was followed in the public school system.分析：本句是復(fù)合句，其中包含了where引導(dǎo)的定語從句，主句運(yùn)用一般過去時(shí)的被動語態(tài)。譯文：在其他地區(qū)，像英國實(shí)行過殖民統(tǒng)治的規(guī)則(仍然)有效的新西蘭和澳大利亞，公立學(xué)校的校服制度仿效英國的校服制度。1C考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)該詞上文的“that wearing uniforms has no effect on the thought process of a student”和下文的“Students are.rules”可知此處指的是學(xué)生。2A考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段倒數(shù)第二句“In other parts like New Zealand and Australia where the British colonial rule was in effect，the uniform system was followed in the public school system”可知，澳大利亞的公立學(xué)校的校服制度是仿效英國的。3C考查推理判斷。從文章第一段中的“According to a historian，uniforms were introduced into the United States around 1979 to deal with the problems of violence among students”可知，穿校服最初的目的是防止學(xué)生之間打架。4C考查觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Though uniforms have intended to wipe out the discrimination in the weaker section，critics have a different story to say.According to them，uniforms have no such great effect on students”可知評論家們對于校服的態(tài)度是消極的。.七選五閱讀(2016武漢調(diào)研)How to Pick a Great Book to ReadThe

oclock,four oclock rock at the end.”可知,文中提到的這個巴西小孩可能本身不太會說英語,但是由于含有這些英語數(shù)字的歌曲不斷重復(fù)播放,所以他學(xué)會了說這些數(shù)字。2.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“.but the law seemed to be honoured more in the breaking than in the observing.”及such laws have very little effect可知,人們經(jīng)常不遵守這項(xiàng)法律。3.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“.the potential selling power that the use of English vocabulary can bring.”及“.the excellence implied by the mere use of English.”可知,廣告中使用英語能讓人感覺該產(chǎn)品很出色,激發(fā)人們的購買欲。4.A寫作手法題。最后一段中通過“主動結(jié)構(gòu)表達(dá)被動意義”和“保留表示復(fù)數(shù)的詞尾”兩個例子來說明英語對其他語言的語序或結(jié)構(gòu)也有影響。B.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文說明文。文章主要介紹了選擇課外書的方法。1.D由本段最后一句和標(biāo)題“What makes you happy?”可知,本段主要介紹要根據(jù)自己的興趣愛好選擇喜歡的書;此處為該段總起句,反映該段主題,故D項(xiàng)符合文意。2.E由該部分標(biāo)題“Fact or fiction?”可知,該部分主要介紹紀(jì)實(shí)類書籍和虛構(gòu)類書籍;該部分第一段介紹了虛構(gòu)類書籍;由此可知,第二段將介紹紀(jì)實(shí)類書籍,故E項(xiàng)符合文意。3.A由空處前兩句可知,當(dāng)你的父母在你的年紀(jì)時(shí),他們喜歡哪些書?由此可知,空處建議向父母詢問并看父母喜歡的書,故A項(xiàng)正確。4.G由空處后的“Tell a librarian about your interests.”可知,作者建議告訴圖書管理員你的興趣;由此可知,空處與圖書館相關(guān),故G項(xiàng)正確。5.C由空后的“Its always fun to see what your friends are reading.encourage each other to read and share books and authors you like.”可知,看朋友正在閱讀的書是很有意思的事情,要互相鼓勵去閱讀和分享書;由此可知,C項(xiàng)正確。.In order to encourage the students to take outdoor exercise,our school organized a mountain-climbing on April 10.Hundreds us took
