16、(总题数：0，分数：0.00)七、Part A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)八、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：5.00)You cant beat it, but you dont have to join it. Maybe it got the name common cold because its more common in winter. The fact is, though, being cold doesnt have anything to do with getting one. Colds are caused by the spread of rhinoviruse
17、s, and, at least so far, medical science is better at telling you how to avoid getting one than how to get rid of one.Children are the most common way cold viruses are spread to adults, because they have more colds than adultsan average of about eight per year. Why do kids seem so much more easily t
18、o get colds than their parents? Simple. They havent had the opportunity to become immune to many cold viruses.There are more than 150 different cold viruses, and you never have the same one twice. Being infected by one makes you immune to itbut only it.Colds are usually spread by direct contact, not
19、 sneezing or coughing. From another persons hand to your hand and then to your nose or eyes is the most common route. The highest concentration of cold viruses anywhere is found under the thumbnails of a boy, although the viruses can survive for hours on skin or other smooth surfaces.Hygiene is your
20、 best defense. Wash your hands frequently preferably with a disinfectant soap, especially when children in your household have colds.But even careful hygiene wont ward off every cold. So, what works when a coughing, sneezing, runny nose strikes?The old prescription of two aspirins, lots of water, an
21、d bed rest is a good place to start. But youll also find some of the folk remedies worth using. Hot mixtures of sugar (or honey), lemon, and water have real benefits.（分数：5.00）(1).According to the essay, you may have a cold because_.（分数：1.00）A.the weather is too coldB.the spread of rhinoviruses gets
22、people infectedC.another persons coughing passes the cold to youD.you wash your hands too often(2).The best way to keep yourself from getting colds is_.（分数：1.00）A.to keep yourself cleanB.to use a disinfectant soapC.to take two aspirins every dayD.to drink lots of water(3).Children have more colds be
23、cause_.（分数：1.00）A.they are usually infected about eight times each yearB.they are not immune to many cold viruses yetC.they never wash their hands so that their thumbnails are dirtyD.they dont like eating lemon(4).When you are having a cold, _.（分数：1.00）A.it is always the same kind of cold that you h
24、ad last timeB.it may be the same kind of cold that you had last timeC.it is certainly not the same kind of cold that you had last timeD.it is probably not the same kind of cold that you had last time(5).When one is having a cold, he may often have all the following symptoms EXCEPT_.（分数：1.00）A.coughi
25、ngB.having a sore throatC.having a runny noseD.having a stomachache九、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：5.00)A number of recent books have reworked subjects, forms and writing techniques. Todays children read stories about divorce, death, drugs, air pollution, political extremism and violence. Relying on the magic of
26、the illustrator, all kinds of books are being published.Before they know to read, babies can play with books made of cloth or books made to take in the bath. Later on, they are given picture books that may be cubical (立方形的) or triangular, outsized or very small. They also like work-books which come
27、with watercolors and paintbrushes, and comic books (漫画册) filled with details where they have to spot a figure hidden among thousands of others.Not that the traditional childrens books are being neglected. There are still storybooks where the pages pop up (跳起) when they are opened, to make a forest o
28、r a castle. Among the latest ideas are interactive stories where readers choose the plot (情节) or ending they want, and books on CD, which are very popular, in rich industrialized countries.The public has enthusiastically greeted the wealth of creativity displayed by publishers. “Previously, giving a
29、 child a book as often seen as improper,“ says Canadian author Marie-France Hebert. Her books, published by a French-language publisher, sell like hot cakes in hundreds of thousands of copies. “Theres a real appetite for reading these days and I try to get across to children the passion for reading
30、which is food for the mind and the heart, like a medicine or a vitamin.（分数：5.00）(1).“Reworked“ as used in Paragraph 1 means “_“（分数：1.00）A.rewordedB.rewrittenC.processedD.revised(2).In the second paragraph the author lists the kinds of books_.（分数：1.00）A.recently publishedB.of various shapesC.babies l
31、ikeD.popular among children(3).Which of the following statements is true?（分数：1.00）A.Books made of cloth came out earlier than picture books.B.When you buy work-books you will be given free comic books.C.Traditional childrens books are not being removed from market.D.Babies cannot have books while ta
32、king a bath.(4).The expression “get across to children“ in the last paragraph probably means_.（分数：1.00）A.pass on to childrenB.make children believeC.teach childrenD.get around to children(5).The main idea of the last paragraph is that people have_.（分数：1.00）A.warmly welcomed the abundance of wealth s
33、hown by publishersB.warmly welcomed the enormous amount of creativity shown by publishersC.showed great enthusiasm in publishers of great creativityD.reacted strongly to the unlimited creativity of publishers十、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：5.00)As regards social conventions, we must say a word about the well know
34、n English class system. This is an embarrassing subject for English people, and one they tend to be ashamed of, though during the present century class-consciousness has grown less and less, and the class system less rigid. But it still exists below the surface. Broadly speaking, it means there are
35、two classes, the “middle class“ and the “working class“. (We shall ignore for a moment the old “upper class“, including the hereditary aristocracy, since it is extremely small in numbers; but some of its members have the right to sit in the House of Lords, and some newspapers take a surprising inter
36、est in their private life.) The middle class consists chiefly of well to do businessmen and professional people of all kinds. The working class consists chiefly of manual and unskilled workers.The most obvious difference between them is in their accent. Middle class people use slightly varying kinds
37、 of “received pronunciation“ which is the kind of English spoken by BBC announcers and taught to overseas pupils. Typical working class people speak in many different local accents which are generally felt to be rather ugly and uneducated. One of the biggest barriers of social equality in England is
38、 the two class education system. To have been to a so called “public school“ immediately marks you out as one of the middle class. The middle classes tend to live a more formal life than working class people, and are usually more cultured. Their midday meal is “lunch“ and they have a rather formal e
39、vening meal called “dinner“, whereas the working mans dinner, if his working hours permit, is at mid-day, and his smaller, late evening meal is called supper.As we have said, however, the class system is much less rigid than it was, and for a long time it has been government policy to reduce class d
40、istinctions. Working class students very commonly receive a university education and enter the professions, and working class incomes have grown so much recently that the distinctions between the two classes are becoming less and less clear. However, regardless of ones social status, certain standar
41、ds of politeness are expected of everybody, and a well bred person is polite to everyone he meets, and treats a laborer with the same respect he gives an important businessman. Servility inspires both embarrassment and dislike. Even the word “sir“, except in school and in certain occupations (e.g. c
42、ommerce, the army, etc.) sounds too servile to be commonly used.（分数：5.00）(1).The middle class mainly refers to people_.（分数：1.00）A.who were born as aristocratB.who have the right to sit in the House of LordsC.who speak in many different local accentsD.who are prosperous businessmen or who work in som
43、e professions(2).The most obvious difference between the working class and the middle class in English is their_.（分数：1.00）A.dressB.workC.accentD.meal(3).Why isnt the word “sir“ commonly used in Britain?（分数：1.00）A.Because it sounds too servile and is likely to cause embarrassment.B.Because it can onl
44、y be used in some certain occupations.C.Because it is an impolite word.D.Because it shows that the speaker is not a well-bred person.(4).The “upper class“ in England today_.（分数：1.00）A.are extremely small in number so that media pays no attention to themB.still uses old words like “sir“ in their ever
45、yday lifeC.includes the hereditary aristocracyD.refers only to the royal family(5).Which of the following is NOT true about the English class system?（分数：1.00）A.It is an embarrassing subject for English people.B.Working class students cannot receive a university education.C.The class system is much l
46、ess rigid than it was.D.The class system still exists below the surface.十一、Text 4(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of the speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these words a
47、nd expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal speech or writing, but not considered appropriate for more formal situations. Almost all
48、 idiomatic expressions are colloquial language. Slang, however, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not accepted as good, formal usage by the majority. Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified. Both
49、 colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than in writing.Colloquial speech often passes into standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang phrases but ne
