11、 neatly, divided into three periods usually called old (or Anglo-Saxon) English, Middle English, and Modern English. The earliest period begins with the migration of certain Germanic tribes from the continent to Britain in the fifth century A. D, though no records of their language survive from befo
12、re the seventh century, and it continues until the end of the seventh century or a bit later. By that time, Latin, Old Norse (the language of the Viking invaders), and especially the Anglo-Norman French of the dominant class after the Norman Conquest in 1066 had begun to have a substantial impact on
13、 the vocabulary, and the well-developed inflectional system that typifies the grammar of Old English had begun to break down.The period of Middle English extends roughly form the twelfth century through the fifteenth. The influence of French (and Latin, often by way of French) upon the vocabulary co
14、ntinued throughout the period, the loss of some inflections and the reduction of others accelerated, and many changes took place within the grammatical systems of the language. A typical prose passage, specially one from the later part of the period, will not have such a foreign look to us as the pr
15、ose of Old English, but it will not be mistaken for contemporary writing either.The period of Modern English extends from the sixteenth century to our own day. The early part of this period saw the completion of a revolution in vowel distribution that had begun in late Middle English and that effect
16、ively brought the language to something resembling its present pattern. Other important early developments include the stabilizing effect on spelling of the printing press and the beginning of the direct influence of Latin, and to a lesser extent, Greek on the vocabulary. Later, as English came into
17、 contact with other cultures around the world and distinctive dialects of English developed in the many areas which Britain had colonized, numerous other languages made small but interesting contributions to our word-stock.（分数：10.00）(1).The earliest written record of English available to us started_

B A revolution in vowel distribution.C A well-developed inflectional system. D Loss of some inf

The militant Hindus who had vowed to breach a police cordon and start the work of building a temple to the god Ram at the dispu
22、ted site of Ayodhya decided to respect a Supreme Court decision barring them from the area. So charged have Hindu-Muslim relations in India become in recent weeks, as the declared deadline of March 15th neared, that a clash at Rams supposed birthplace might well have provoked bloodshed on an appalli
23、ng scale across the nation. It has, unfortunately, happened often enough before.But the threat has not vanished. The courts decision is only an interim one, and the main Hindu groups have not given up on their quest to build their temple. Extreme religious violence, which seemed in recent years to h
24、ave faded after the Ayodhya-related explosion of 1992-1993, is again a feature of the political landscape. Though faults lie on both sides (it was a Muslim attack on Hindus in a train in Gujarat that started the recent slaughter), the great bulk of victims were, as always, Muslims. Once again, educa
25、ted Hindus are.to be heard inveighing against the “appeasing“ of Muslims through such concessions as separate constitutional status for Kashmir or the right to practice Islamic civil law. Once again, the police are being accused of doing little or nothing to help Muslim victims of rampaging Hindu mo
26、bs. Once again, Indias 130m Muslims feel unequal and unsafe in their own country. Far too many Hindus would refuse to accept that it is “their own country“ at all.The wonder of it, perhaps, is that things are not worse. While the world applauds Pakistan for at last locking up the leaders of its extr
27、eme religious groups, in India the zealots still support, sustain and to a degree constitute the government. The BJP, which leads the ruling coalition, was founded as a political front for the Hindu movement. It is simply one, and by no means the dominant, member of what is called the Sangh Pariwar,
28、 the “family of organizations“. Other members of the family are much less savoury. There is the VHP, the World Hindu Organization, which led the movement to build the Ram temple. There is the Bajrang Dal, the brutalist “youth wing“ of the VHP. There is substantial evidence that members of the VHP an
29、d the Bajrang Dal helped to organize the slaughter of hundreds of Muslims in Gujarat after 58 Hindus were killed on a train as they returned from Ayodhya.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the text, the Supreme Court ruled thatA Muslims are denied the right to civil laws.B Hindu-Muslim clashes are an issue
30、of religion.C it is illegal to seek to build the Ram temple.D religious groups are in the charge of their leaders.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What does the writer wants to illustrate with “a Muslim attack on Hindus on a train in Gujarat“?A The brutality of extreme Indian policemen.B Frequent clashes betwee
31、n Hindus and Muslims.C The cruelty as shown by Hindus to Muslims.D The disappearance of extreme religious violence.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The word “rampaging“ (Para 2) denotesA “dominance.“B “violence.“C “deference.“D “acceptance./（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the text, now the world would praise
32、Hindus and Muslims mainly for theirA generosity.B humaneness.C enthusiasm.D sensibility.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).Towards the issue of Hindu-Muslim relations, the writers attitude can be said to beA objective.B biased.C appalled.D supportive.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Democrats on the Senat
33、e Judiciary Committee vented their fury over high gasoline prices at executives of the nations five largest oil companies on Wednesday, grilling the oilmen over their multimillion-dollar pay packages and warning them that Congress was intent on taking action that could include a new tax on so-called
34、 windfall profits. Such showdowns between lawmakers and oil titans have become a familiar routine on Capitol Hill. But with gas prices nearing $ 4 a gallon, and lawmakers headed home for a weeklong Memorial Day recess where they expect to get an earful from angry constituents, there is added urgency
35、 for Congress to appear active. But while momentum is building for several measures, including a bill that would allow the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to be sued in American courts under antitrust laws, there is little sign that any of the proposals would do much, if anything,
36、to lower prices quickly. And the oil executives warned that government intervention might only make things worse. Instead, they called on Congress to allow more drilling and exploration for domestic oil. The increasing urgency to seem aggressive about gasoline prices was apparent on Tuesday when the
37、 House voted by an overwhelming 324 to 84 to approve the bill, commonly referred to as NOPEC, which classifies OPEC as a monopoly in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Senate Democrats have included that measure as part of a package of legislation intended to address the high price of gasoline,
38、 along with the tax on windfall profits and a measure to tamp down speculation in the oil futures market that many lawmakers think is contributing to the run-up in prices. At the Judiciary Committee hearing, Democratic senators struggled to have the executives explain how oil prices had risen so hig
39、h. The senators expressed doubt that basic laws of supply and demand were at work and suggested instead a more sinister combination of monopolistic behavior by oil-producing countries, speculation in the futures markets and sheer corporate greed. On Monday, President Bush signed a bill temporarily s
40、uspending the purchase of crude oil for the nations Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Mr. Bush had initially opposed such action but relented after the House and Senate approved the bill by wide margins. Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois and a strong supporter of Senator Baraek Obamas presi
41、dential bid, made a particularly pointed attack, in which he seemed to warn the oil executives that they would soon no longer have such a good friend in the White House. He also suggested that Mr. Bush should be doing more to press the oil companies to help lower prices at the pump, while acknowledg
42、ing that it would be difficult to pass a windfall profits tax while Mr. Bush was still in office.（分数：10.00）(1).Senate Democrats were angry with the oilmen because_. A they get tax-free pay packages B Congress took on actions but in vain C the showdowns were merely a routine D oil prices had risen so
43、 high（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).From the text we can learn that the bill allowing OPEC to be sued under antitrust laws_. A handicaps more drilling and exploration for domestic oil B is a kind of government intervention that only makes things worse C turns out to be less influential to decrease oil price r
44、apidly D is in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The approval of the bill, NOPEC, on Tuesday implies that_. A it is necessary to impose tax on windfall profits B it is urgent to fight against monopoly C it is pressing to think much of the ever-increasing oil prices D it is i
45、mportant to resort to NOPEC（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to Democratic senators, which of the following is NOT a factor contributing to soaring oil prices? A The basic laws of supply and demand. B The monopoly of oil-producing countries. C Speculation in the oil futures markets. D Oil companies sal
46、ivating over profits.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).What can we infer form the last paragraph? A The nations Strategic Petroleum Reserve is more than adequate. B Democrats argue that greedy oil companies are the key factor of jumping oil price. C President Bush used to be reluctant to drag down the oil price.
47、 D The federal law bans the windfall profits tax in Bush Government.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.七、Text 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Despite the fact that comets are probably the most numerous astronomical bodies in the solar system aside from small meteor fragments and the asteroids, they are largely a mystery. Scientists
48、 do not know exactly what comets are or where they come from. Educated guesses are the best we have in hand. Considering the role of comets in legend and the memory of man, it is remarkable that we still know so little, relatively, about them. The most famous comet of all, Halleys Comet ( named for the man who predicted its return), was first sighted by the Chinese in 240 BC, and it has returned to terrify the people of the world on a regular basis every since then. The ancient considered it an object of ill omen. By mysterious coincidence, the arrival of Halleys Comet coi
