A novel can be on the best seller list with a sale of fewer than 100,000 copies, but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers. TV can make anything or anyone well-known overnight. This is the principle behind quiz or game shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away thousands of dollars just for fun. But all of this money can create problems. For instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in the US and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor, became rich and famous after winning money on several shows. He even had a career as a television personality. But one of the losers proved that Charles Van Doren was cheating. It turned out that the shows producers who were pulling the strings, gave the answers to the most popular contestants beforehand. Why? Because if the audience didnt like the person who won the game, they turned the show off. The result of this cheating was a huge scandal. Based on his story, a movie under the title Quiz Show is on 40 years later. Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV. But game shows are still here, though they arent taken as seriously. In fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly-married couples to fight on TV, or that punish losers by humiliating them. The entertainment now is to see what people will do just to be on TV. People still win money, but the real prize is to be in front of an audience of millions. 16.

The people who speak English today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese. Originally they were small tribes of people from northern Europe who settled in England. Their languages became more and more similar to each other. Finally, the language had enough uniformity to be used by all speakers in England. The people were united into a speech community through their shared language.2 A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities. The people who make up the community share a common language. Often they live side by side, as they do in a neighborhood, a village, or a city. More often they form a whole country. National boundaries, however, are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community. A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where they happen to live.3 We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community. For convenience, we may classify the speakers into two groups: one in which the speakers use English as their native language, the other in which the speakers learn English as a second language for the purpose of education, commerce, and so on.4 English serves as an alternative language in several areas of public activity for the many nations of the world which employ it as an international second language. English has been adopted as the language of air traffic, commerce, as well as international diplomacy. Moreover, English is the language of the majority of published materials in the world so that education has come to rely heavily on an understanding of English.5 Learning a second language extends ones vision and expands the mind. The history and literature of a second language record the real and fictional lives of people and their culture; a knowledge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they feel. Learning English as a second language provides another means of communication through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our heritage. A) The Wide Use of English B) Historical Account of English and Its Community C) The Advantages of Learning a Second Language D) The Composition of the English Community E) The Threat That English Poses to Other Languages F) The Definition of a Speech Community 23. Paragraph 2 _ 24. Paragraph 3 _ 25. Paragraph 4 _ 26. Paragraph 5 _ A) that of a speech community B) can a speech community be formed C) in order to learn English better D) for the sake of simplicity E) has played an important role in the field of education F) is widely used in several areas of public activity 27. Only through the shared language _. 28. The idea of the national boundaries is often different from _. 29. Speakers are classified into two groups _. 30. An understanding of English _.第四部分：閱讀理解 下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題，每道題后面有4個(gè)選項(xiàng)。 第一篇 Modern Sun Worshippers People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on. Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun! The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italys 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spains long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain. But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, its getting worse. The French cant figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution. None of this, however, is spoiling anyones fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they dont go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They dont even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, its still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo. 31. The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that A) they want to see historic remains or religious spots. B) they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs. C) they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites. D) they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home. 32. In paragraph 2, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned A) to show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate. B) to tell us how wealthy their residents are. C) to suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty. D) to prove that they have got more tourism than they can handle. 33. According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others? A) Italy. B) Spain. C) France. D) Greece. 34. The latter half of the last sentence in paragraph 3, i.e., or one tourist for every person living in Spain means A) all the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists. B) every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country. C) every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist. D) every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year. 35. According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourists fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches? A) Polluted water. B) Crowded buses. C) Traffic jams. D) Rainy weather. 第二篇 One-room Schools One-room schools are part of the heritage of the United States, and the mention of them makes people feel a vague longing for the way things were. One-room schools are an endangered species, however. For more than a hundred years, one-room schools have been systematically shut down and their students sent away to centralized schools. As recently as 1930 there were 149,000 one-room schools in the United States. By 1970 there were 1,800. Today, of the nearly 800 remaining one-room schools, more than 350 are in Nebraska. The rest are scattered through a few other states that have on their road maps wide-open spaces between towns. Now that there are hardly any left, educators are beginning to think that maybe there is something yet to be learned from one-room schools, something that served the pioneers that might serve as well today. Progressive educators have come up with progressive-sounding names like peer-group teaching and multi-age grouping for educational procedures that occur naturally in the one-room schools. In a one-room school the children teach each other because the teacher is busy part of the time teaching someone else. A fourth grader can work at a fifth-grade level in math and a third-grade level in English without the stigma associated with being left back or the pressures of being skipped ahead. A youngster with a learning disability can find his or her own level without being separated from the other pupils. In larger urban and suburban schools today, this is called mainstreaming. A few hours in a small school that has only one classroom and it becomes clear why so many parents feel that one of the advantages of living in Nebraska is that their children have to go to a one-room school. 36. It is implied in the passage that many educators and parents today feel that one-room schools A) need to be shut down. B) are the best in Nebraska. C) are a good example of the good old days. D) privide good education 37. Why are one-room schools in danger of disappearing? A) Because they exist only in one state. B) Because children have to teach themselves. C) Because there is a trend toward centralization. D) Because there is no fourth-grade level in any of them. 38. What is mentioned as a major characteristic of the one-room school system in the second paragraph? A) Some children have to be left back. B) Teachers are always busy. C) Pupils have more freedom. D) Learning is not limited to one grade level at a time. 39. Which of the following can best describe the authors attitude toward one-room schools? A) Praising. B) Angry. C) Critical. D) Humorous. 40. It can be inferred from the last sentence that parents living in Nebraska A) dont like centralized schools. B) received education in one-room schools. C) prefer rural life to urban one. D) come from other states. 第三篇 Single-parent Kids Do Best Single mums are better at raising their kids than two parents - at least in the bird world. Mother zebra finches have to work harder and raise fewer chicks on their own, but they also produce more attractive sons who are more likely to get a mate. The finding shows that family conflict is as important an evolutionary driving force as ecological factors such as hunting and food supply. With two parents around, theres always a conflict of interests, which can have a detrimental effect on the quality of the offspring. In evolutionary terms, the best strategy for any parent in the animal world is to find someone else to care for their offspring, so they can concentrate on breeding again. So its normal for parents to try to pass the buck to each other. But Ian Hartley from the University of Lancaster and his team wondered how families solve this conflict, and how the conflict itself affects the offspring. To find out, they measured how much effort zebra finch parents put into raising their babies. They compared single females with pairs, by monitoring the amount of food each parent collected, and removing or adding chicks so that each pair of birds was raising four chicks, and each single mum had two - supposedly the same amount of work. But single mums, they found, put in about 25 per cent more effort than females rearing with their mate. To avoid being exploited, mothers with a partner hold back from working too hard if the father is being lazy, and its the chicks that pay the price. The offspring suffer some of the cost of this conflict, says Hartley. The cost does not show in any obvious decrease in size or weight, but in how attractive they are to the opposite sex. When the chicks were mature, the researchers tested the fitness of the male offspring by offering females their choice of partner. Those males reared by single mums were chosen more often than those from two-parent families. Sexual conflict has long been thought to affect the quality of care given to offspring, says zoologist Rebecca Kilner at Cambridge University, who works on conflict of parents in birds. But the experimental evidence is not great. The breakthrough here is showing it empirically. More surprising, says Kilner, is Hartleys statement that conflict may be a strong influence on the evolution of behaviour, clutch size and even appearance. People have not really made that link, says Hartley. A females reproductive strategy is usually thought to be affected by hunting and food supply. Kilner says conflict of parents should n
