Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 37 The number of speakers of English in Shakespeares time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 2600 million people speak it as a native language, mainl

26、y in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language, as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in i

27、ts spoken and written forms. It is virtually impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purposes for which English is learned and the situations in which such learning takes place are so

28、varied that it is difficult to define and still more difficult to assess what constitutes an adequate working knowledge for each situation. The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present - day importance as a world language. Besides serving the infinite needs of its native spea

29、kers, English is a language in which some of the most important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the dissemination of i

30、nformation over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multi - lingual populations and, need a language for internal communication in such matter

35、ffers for each situation. （ C） Being multi - lingual. （ D） Being a native speaker. 42 What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English? （ A） Those geographically close to the United States. （ B） Those interested in the culture of the United States. （ C） Former colonies of Great

Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young

37、 child or even an animal, such as a pigeon,can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted. We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someones personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different

38、 from others. Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someones personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face“ looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to de

39、scribe a “nice person“, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth. There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Fordin Allport, an American psychologists, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in peo

40、ples behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types people and deserved with such terms. People have always tried to “type“ each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether th

41、ey played the villains or the heros role. In fact, the words “person“ and “personality“ come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask“. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the “good guys“ from the “bad guys“ because the two types differ in appearances as we

42、ll as in actions. 43 By using the example of finger prints, the author tells us that _. （ A） people can learn to recognize faces （ B） people have different personalities （ C） people have difficulty in describing the feature of finger prints （ D） people differ from each other in facial features 44 Ac

44、B） The movie actors. （ C） Psychologists. （ D） The modern TV audience. 46 According to the passage, it is possible for us to tell one type of person from another because _. （ A） people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics （ B） human fingerprints provide unique information （ C） peop

46、ognize people. 47 There is evidence that the usual variety of high blood pressure is, in part, a family disease. Since families have similar genes as well as similar environment, family diseases could be due to shared genetic influences, to shared environmental factors, or to both. For some years, t

47、he role of ones environmental factor commonly shared by families, namely, dietary salt, has been studied at Brookhaven National Laboratory. These studies suggest that chronic excess salt ingestion can lead to high blood pressure in man and animals. Some individuals, however, and some rats consume la

48、rge amounts of salt without developing high blood pressure. No matter how strictly all environmental factors were controlled in these experiments, some salt - fed animals never develop hypertension whereas a few rapidly developed very severe hypertension followed by early death. These marked variati

49、ons were interpreted to result from differences in genetic constitution. By mating in successive generations only those animals that failed to develop hypertension from salt ingestion, a resistant strain (the“ R“ strain) has been evolved in which consumption of large quantities of salt fails to influence the blood pressure significantly. In contrast, by mating only animals that quickly develop hypertension from salt, a sensitive strain (“S“ strai
