9、loudspeaker. They had been selected to compete at the International Youth and Music Festival in Vienna. To these young people from the inner city of Washington D.C. it sounded like a dream.“Is it true, Mrs. Garrett?“ shrieked the usually dreamy Ayesha Brock.Joyce Garrett wasnt smiling. How could she

10、 tell her award - winning singers that a golden voice wasnt enough to get you to Europe? Hadnt she spent 22 years in convincing the citys poorest children that it wasnt where you lived but what you did that counted?“Yes, its true,“ she said slowly. “Only 36 North 5merican choirs were selected. Its a

11、n honor just to have been invited.“ “But Mrs. G,“ someone said, “Are we going?“Most of Joyces pupils had to work to pay for clothes, books, sometimes even food. They had about as much chance of going to Vienna as to the moon. “Well see,“ she said. “A year from July is a long way off.“Of course, they

12、 couldnt attend, Joyce told herself. Still, she showed the elegant, hand - written invitation to her neighbor Tom Howell, a local businessman. Something in Joyces voice told Howell this was special. He read the letter slowly. “Joyce,“ he said, “You are going to accept this invitation! You get those

13、youngsters ready, and well find a way to get them to Vienna.“（分数：5.00）(1).When the youngsters heard the news, they _.（分数：1.00）A.couldnt believe itB.realized their dream had come trueC.became mad with joyD.rushed to the choir room(2).Joyce Carrett was heavy -hearted at tile news because _.（分数：1.00）A.

17、ng to acceptB.are to acceptC.will acceptD.are sure to acceptBTask 2/BIn 1813 rumors of a threatened invasion of Washington had circulated widely. But no attack materialized, so military preparedness ceased. By 1814 the defensive system for Washington was nonexistent except for a few troops near the

18、city and a weak naval force. Month after month Congress had voted down resolutions to place the capital in a defensive posture, while the secretary of war kept concentrated on his invasion of Canada. The best plan for defense came from the cabinet in July, when it proposed to defend Washington with

19、an army of volunteers from all the states. The result was inadequate at best. Some of the men that reported for duty were told to go home and get better shoes and to bring back a butcher knife if they could not get a musket. On August i8, news reached the capital that a British fleet had sailed into

20、 the Patuxent River. The city was put on immediate alert.As the British army marched closer to the capital, 38 - year - old Brigadier General William Henry Winder was entrusted with defense of the city. His frustrations were many. Secretary of War John Armstrong, new to his office, still believed th

21、at the British force would not attack Washington; the quartermaster of the army was unable to supply axes for cutting trees to impede(阻止) the enemy advance; and Winders own troops were untrained, volunteer militiamen. In addition, he got little consistent help from his superiors, who included Presid

22、ent James Madison and Secretary of States James Monroe. He was an indefensible position, which led to one of Americas darkest days -that of August 24th, 1814.（分数：5.00）(1).In 1813 military preparedness stopped because _.（分数：1.00）A.the rumors of a threatened invasion turned out to be wrongB.no British

26、his passage can best be described as _.（分数：1.00）A.objectiveB.sentimentalC.indifferentD.subjectiveBTask 3/BConsidered from the point of view of vocabulary, there are few, if any, “pure“ languages. Historically, English has been well -known as a word borrower, but it is equally true that every Western

27、 European language has supplemented(增补) its lexicon by adoptions from other languages. In this respect then, English was like the other immigrant languages brought to the New World, and in a broader sense, like every other language that has ever existed. Loan words occur even in the languages of abo

28、riginal peoples. Even Indo- European, the hypothetical(假设的) parent of most of the languages found in Europe today and many of those in western Asia, appears to have borrowed words some 4000 years ago from Finno-Ugric, and to have furnished others in return. In the same manner, American Indian langua

29、ges soon picked up European words like kabay for “horse,“ and the international European vocabulary soon had words like canoe, tobacco, and hammock from the Indians.One great impetus toward word borrowing arises from the necessity of talking about new things, qualities, operations, concepts, and ide

30、as. Inevitably the movement of a people to a markedly different environment not only creates a problem of communication but makes it an urgent requirement. Almost as soon as he struck land, Columbus “seized by force several Indians on the first island in order that they might learn from us, and in l

31、ike manner tell us about those things in these lands of which they themselves had knowledge; and the plan succeeded, for in a short time we understood them and they did us, sometimes by gesture and signs, sometimes by words; and it was a great advantage to us.“ None of the early reporters tell us, h

32、owever, the answer to the most interesting question for language historians: What were those words (and gestures), and how did the interlocutors(对话者) put them together?（分数：5.00）(1).Which is the main topic of th6 first paragraph?（分数：1.00）A.English has been well -known as a word borrower.B.Ina broader

33、 sense, there are no pure languages.C.Every Western European language has adopted words from other languagesD.There is no language that doesnt have borrowed words.(2).Indo-European mentioned in the paragraph is _.（分数：1.00）A.a new languageB.a very old languageC.a so-called ancient languageD.a widely

34、used language(3).We can infer from the passage that _.（分数：1.00）A.everyone can find familiar words in any other languagesB.English was an immigrant language to the New WorldC.The necessity of communication gives rise to word borrowingD.Columbus successfully made the people understand each other(4).Th

35、e international European vocabulary refers to that of _.（分数：1.00）A.IndiansB.Indo - EuropeanC.Western European languagesD.Finno-Ugric(5).From reading we can guess that the following will talk around _.（分数：1.00）A.American EnglishB.different languagesC.Romance languageD.immigrant languagesBTask 4/BTher

36、e was a time in early history of man when the days bad no names! The reason was quite simple: Men had not invented the week.In those days, the only division of times was the month, and there were too many days in the month for each of them to have a separate name. But when men began to build cities,

37、 they wanted to have a special day on which to trade, a market day. Sometimes these market day were fixed at every tenth day, sometimes every seventh or every fifth day. The Babylonians decided that it should be every seventh day. On this day they didnt work, but met for trade and religious festival

38、s. The Jews followed their example, and kept every seventh day for religious purposes. In this way the week came into being. The Jews gave each of the seven days a name, but it was really a number after the Sabbath(安息日) day (which Was Saturday).When the Egyptians adopted the seven - day week, they n

39、amed the days after five planets, the sun and the moon. The Romans used the Egyptian names for their days of the week: the day of the sun, of the moon, of the planet Mars, of Mercury (水星), of Venus (木星), and of Saturn (土星).We get our names for the days not from the Romans but from the Anglo - Saxons
