2、o not know 1 first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year; 2 we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think 3 them, so much so that on all the highest columns in the great cities of the world you will find the 4 of a conqueror or a general or
3、 a soldier. And I think most people 5 that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of 6 countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just 7 they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals 8 ; so do savages (野蛮人); hence to be good at fighting 9 be
4、good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good; but it is not to be 10 . Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most 11 this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have doneis not being civilized. People fight to 12 quarrels. Fighting mean
5、s killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to 12 some way of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can 14 the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed 15 has won. And not only has won, but, because it has won, has been 16 . For that i
6、s what going to war means; it means 17 that might is right. That is what the story of mankind has 18 been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, 19 millions of people were killed or disabled. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the
7、streets 20 , that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily lifenations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.(分数:20.00)A.whereB.whoC.whatD.whyA.thoughB.stillC.butD.althoughA.a great deal ofB.many ofC.a

It is also the variety which is normally 21 by educated people and used in news broadcasts and other 22 situations. T
11、he difference between standard and non-standard, it should be noted, has 23 in principle to do with differences between formal and colloquial 24 ; standard English has colloquial as well as formal variants. 25 , the standard variety of English is based on the London 26 of English that developed afte
12、r the Norman Conquest resulted in the removal of the Court from Winchester to London. This dialect became the one 27 by the educated, and it was developed and promoted 28 a model, or norm, for wider and wider segments of society. It was also the 29 that was carried overseas, but not one unaffected b
13、y such export. Today, 30 English is arranged to the extent that the grammar and vocabulary of English are 31 the same everywhere in the world where English is used; 32 among local standards is really quite minor, 33 the Singapore, South Africa, and Irish varieties are really very 34 different from o
14、ne another so far as grammar and vocabulary are 35 . Indeed, Standard English is so powerful that it exerts a tremendous 36 on all local varieties, to the extent that many of long-established dialects of England have 37 much of their vigor and there is considerable pressure on them to be 38 . This l
15、atter situation is not unique 39 English: it is also true in other countries where processes of standardization are 40 . But it sometimes creates problems for speakers who try to strike some kind of compromise between local norms and national, even supranational (跨国的) ones.(分数:20.00)A.saidB.toldC.ta

Grade A tomatoes may look better, but all canned tomatoes have the same nutrients. Shoppers seem to have special difficulties when they buy fresh fruits an
30、d vegetables. There are several things to consider when buying fresh foods. Because fresh foods 77 if they are not used, you have to buy the correct amount 78 the number of people you are serving.

47、eB.who C.whatD.why解析:解析 测试要点:关系代词 who的用法。句中动词 know后面要求接一宾语从句,因而选项中必须填入一个既能引导宾语从句又能作为宾语从句主语的关系代词。选项中 where和 why均为疑问副词,不能作主语。what 为疑问代词,但不指人。只有关系代词 who既能作主语引导宾语从句又能代表人,故应为答案。A.thoughB.stillC.but D.although解析:解析 测试要点:逻辑关系判断。though“虽然,尽管”;although“虽然,尽管”;but“但是”;still“仍然,还”。从上下文来看,全句的逻辑关系应为转折关系,指“我们不知道;
48、但我们知道”。而 though, although均表示让步关系,still 表示“仍然”,只有 but表示转折,符合题意。A.a great deal of B.many ofC.a number ofD.lots of解析:解析 测试要点:短语意义选择。a great deal of“大量;强调;重要”;many of“许多”;a number of“许多,若干”;lots of“大量的,很多的”。在表示数量时,四个短语都表示“许多、大量”的意思,但 a great deal of可以用作状语,表示强调,如:There was a great deal of excitement just
49、 before the game began. 比赛开始前,人们非常激动。It means a great deal to her. 这对她意义重大。文中句意为“人们非常敬仰他们,”,为强调,故答案应为 A。A.pictureB.oil-paintingC.stoneD.figure 解析:解析 测试要点:名词词义选择。picture“照片”;oil-paining“油画”;stone“碑石”;figure“塑像,雕像”。根据常识,在西方最大城市的最高建筑物上找到的应是征服者、将军或士兵的雕像,而不会是照片、油画、碑石之类,故 D项 figure应为正确选择。A.believe B.expectC.meanD.like解析:解析 测试要点:动词词义选择。believe“相信”;expect“期望,期待”;mean“意为”;like“喜欢,愿意”。题句意为“而我认为大多数人们相信最伟大的国家是那些在战斗中打败其他大多数国家并统治他们的征服者。”根据题意,答案应为 A。A.someB.manyC.other D.any解析:解析 测试要点:上下文逻辑关系。some“一些,几个”;many“许多”;other“其他的,其余的,另外的”;any“任何的,所有的”。题句指“在战斗中打败其他大多数国家的征服者”,从逻辑上说,只
