21、pment of English(英语的起源与发展)”。讲座一开始便指出英语的历史开始于三个日耳曼部落的到来。因此答案为the arrival。(2).【T2】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：the Saxons）解析：解析：三个日耳曼部落分别是盎格鲁人、撒克逊人和朱特人，此空应填入the Saxons。表示并列、举例的词句应重点记录。(3).【T3】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：in grammar）解析：解析：古英语是英语发展的第一个阶段，讲座主要从语法和词汇两方面讲述了古英语与中世纪英语的不同之处。若笔记中记录了关键句In grammar，Old
22、 English was much more highly inflected，可知此处应填入in grammar。(4).【T4】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：native）解析：解析：讲座提到，古英语大部分的词汇是本地英语，也有一些来自挪威和拉丁的外来语。因此答案为native。若笔记中没记录native一词，也可根据空格后的borrowed ones推断。(5).【T5】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：added into）解析：解析：14世纪英语在英国又占支配地位，但许多法语词汇也添加进来，这种语言被称为中世纪英语。空格前的were提示应填入动
23、词的过去分词形式，注意仅仅填入原文中的added不能直接接后面的宾语the vocabulary,所以要加上介词into。(6).【T6】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：sound system）解析：解析：在谈到中世纪英语时，讲座提到，中世纪英语中引入了法语词汇，且语法和语音系统(grammar andsound system)发生了很大的变化，人们开始更多地依赖词序和结构词来表达自己的意思。因此答案为sound system。(7).【T7】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：unstressed）解析：解析：在谈到现代英语早期阶段时，讲座提到了几方面的
24、改变。其中之一就是消除了词尾非重读位置的一个元音字母，此空应填入unstressed。(8).【T8】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：in print）解析：解析：在谈到印刷术的发明时，讲座提到这意味着现在有一种共同语已印出来，因此答案为in print。(9).【T9】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：standardization）解析：解析：讲座提到，印刷术的出现对早期现代英语也产生了重大影响，其一就是促进了英语的标准化，填stan-dardization。(10).【T10】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：resulting i
25、n）解析：解析：讲座提到，后期现代英语有了更多的词汇是由于两个主要因素所致，原文中是果在前因在后，而空格处则正好相反，是因在前果在后，所以原文中的arising from要转化为resulting in“导致”。(11).【T11】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：adopting）解析：解析：在谈到现代英语后期时，讲座提到，这个时期的英语最显著的特点是有了更多的词汇，一方面是工业革命和技术发展所引起的，另一方面则是外来语。根据题目上下文，此处应填入adopt的-ing形式。(12).【T12】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：colonization）解析
26、：解析：在谈到对英语变化的主要影响因素时，首先提到了从大约17世纪开始北美的英语殖民化问题，故填入colonization。(13).【T13】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：loan）解析：解析：讲座讲到了殖民时期给英语所带来的影响，并列举词汇发生变化的例子，根据题目上下文此处应填入loan。表示举例的词句是笔记重点。(14).【T14】（分数：2.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：正确答案：Spanish）解析：解析：讲座结尾主要讲述了不同国家的语言对英语词汇的影响，由题目后半部分的词汇canyon，ranch，stam-pede，再结合录音内容可推知答案为Spanish。

29、 once tried to adopt a child there.B.She wanted to continue her career in Africa.C.She shared something in common with them.D.She believed in salvation through faith and work.解析：解析：主持人问麦当娜为何觉得有责任帮助那些孩子，麦当娜说，那些孩子所处的境况与她以前的经历有些类似，随后又说到她小时候失去了母亲。可见，C项中的shared something in common是原文的同义替换，符合题意。A.She lost
30、 both of her parents.B.She was ill-treated by her stepmother.C.She was on the verge of collapse as a motherless child.D.She was adopted by her relatives.解析：解析：麦当娜说到她很小的时候就失去了母亲，虽然有房子住、有食物可以吃、有学可以上，但没有妈妈让她很崩溃，C项表述与此一致。A属于张冠李戴，失去双亲的是非洲的一些孤儿；B中的stepmother和D中的“被亲戚收养”属于无中生有。A.Madonna has no idea why peop
31、le could be so cynical.B.Madonna may not be a good foster parent in the public eye.C.Madonnas house had collapsed when she was a child.D.Madonnas family was very poor when she was a little girl.解析：解析：(抚养)事件公开后，主持人谈到民众对该事件的看法时提到，This is not how people see you，再结合她后来说的可以理解人们为什么会冷嘲热讽(cynical)可推断，一般民众可能
32、认为麦当娜并不能很好地履行抚养责任，选B。A.Having children and a family.B.Going through some tragedies.C.Being challenged to open up minds.D.Experiencing too much.解析：解析：麦当娜说只有当有了孩子和家庭之后，才会考虑到自己以外的人，A与此相符，为本题答案。其他选项都是利用对话中的只言片语制造的干扰。A.People appreciate others being cynical.B.People are more generous and unselfish than b
33、efore.C.Shes not so open-minded as people around her.D.Its natural that peoples charity efforts are being doubted.解析：解析：当主持人问到麦当娜为何能理解民众的冷嘲热讽时，她说，因为在我们生活的社会，人们怀疑别人的利他主义行为和慷慨大方是很自然的。因而D为正确答案。A.He was an adopted child.B.He was 18 months old when adopted.C.He was too naughty to be put up with.D.He beca
34、me a foster parent eventually.解析：解析：麦当娜提及收养David的过程很困难，可见A正确。对话没有提到收养David时，他有多大，也没提到他淘气得让人无法忍受，因此B和C属于无中生有；D属张冠李戴，成为养父母的是麦当娜。A.To insure that she is a good parent.B.To insure that she is in good health.C.To conduct psychological evaluations on David.D.To advise her to donate some money.解析：解析：在谈到养子D
35、avid时，麦当娜还提及了social workers对她做的事情，包括了检查她是否是一位合格的母亲、David的健康状况、提问各种攻击性的问题以及进行心理评估等。A与对话内容相符合，故为答案。A.Being open-minded.B.Having a joyful life.C.Becoming tender and soft.D.Willingness to suffer for the things one love.解析：解析：养子David给麦当娜的生活带来了很多的欢乐，让麦当娜觉得所有辛苦的付出是值得的，而这正是麦当娜要寻找的wisdom and usefulness，因此选D。
36、A.She cant bear the quite life.B.She enjoys being followed by her fans.C.She wants to be distinctive.D.She wishes that she was someone else.解析：解析：男士问麦当娜是不是希望自己默默无闻，没有个性可言。麦当娜说当然不是，虽然偶尔想这样，但她想成为自己，不想成为别人，C与此一致，为本题答案。A.To gain worldwide fame and earn a lot of money.B.To follow her heart and do what she wants to.C.To fully tap her potential and protect the earth.D.To sing much more fantastic songs for her fans.解析：解析：在谈到对自己生命的看法时，麦当娜回答：我的灵魂发挥了真正的潜力，我做了我在地球上能做的每一件事。B是麦当娜原话的同义替换，为正确答案。
