【題目】 Students who study foreign languages do not need to care whether the grammar is easy or difficult. By changing the order of the words and by adding some auxiliary verbs (助動(dòng)詞)and suffixes (后綴), we can turn a statement into a question, state whether an action has taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other word skills to express different meanings. However, the question which many language experts can’t understand or explain is — who created grammar?

Some recent languages were developed from the Atlantic slave trade(大西洋奴隸貿(mào)易). Since the slaves didn’t know each other’s languages, they developed a language called a pidgin. Pidgins are strings of words (字串) copied from the language of the landowners. They have little in the way of grammar, and speakers need to use too many words to make their meaning understood, however, Slave children didn’t simply copy the strings of words used by their elders. They adapted their words to create an expressive language. In this way complex grammar systems which come from pidgins were invented.

Further facts can be seen in studying sign languages for the deaf. Sign languages are not simply a group of gestures; they use the same grammatical system that is found in spoken languages. A recent record of the creation of this language was born in Nicaragua. Previously, although deaf children were taught speech and lip reading in the classrooms, on the playgrounds they began to invent their own sign system, using the gestures they used at home. It was basically a pidgin and didn’t meet grammar rules. However, a new system was born when children who joined the school later developed a quite different sign language. It was based on the signs of the older children, but it was shorter and easier to understand, and it had a large range of special use of grammar to explain the meaning. What s more, they all used the signs in the same way. So the original pidgin was greatly improved.

Most experts believe that many of the languages were pidgins at first. They were used in different groups of people without rules and gradually turned into a widely accepted system. The English past tense — “ed” ending — may have come from the verb “do”. “It ended” may once have been “It end-did”. It seems that children have grammatical machinery in their brains. Their minds can create different structures, even when there is no grammar present for them to copy.

【1】What can be inferred (推斷) about the slaves’ pidgin language?

A.It was difficult to understand.B.It came from different languages.

C.It was created by the landowners.D.It contained highly complex grammar.

【2】What does the underlined word “they” refer to?

A.SlaveB.PidginsC.Slave childrenD.Grammar systems

【3】What is the type of the new Nicaraguan sign language?

A.No same signs were used for communication.

B.Most of the gestures were made for everyday activities.

C.The hand movements were smoother and more attractive.

D.The meaning was clearer than the previous sign language.

【4】Which idea does the author present in the last paragraph?

A.English grammar of past tense system is incorrect.

B.Children say English past tense differently from adults.

C.The thought that English was once a pidgin is acceptable.

D.Experts have proven that English was created by children.

【5】What is the best title for the passage?

A.The Creators of grammarB.The History of Languages

【題目】 Today there are more than 6 million people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. This means we need more food.

One way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very lowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material (遺傳物質(zhì)). Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods (轉(zhuǎn)基因食品), or GM foods.

By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. They make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared, for example, which stops people from becoming blind.

Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food. GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them, because they are unnatural. They may feed people, then hurt them or their children later. But, both rich and poor countries are very interested in their use, and they are not going to go away. In 2050 we may think differently about them.

【1】What does the underlined word “GM foods” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Genetic material of a plantB.Genetic material

C.DiseasesD.Genetically modified foods

【2】How many people will there be by the year 2050?

A.6 billion.B.Perhaps 12.5 billion.

C.Less than 6 billion.D.We have no idea.

【3】Does anyone know how good or bad GM foods are?

A.No, no one knows.B.Yes, no one does.

C.No, someone does.D.Yes, someone knows.

【4】Why do rich countries produce GM foods?

A.Because they work very slowly.

B.Because poor countries are not interested in this kind of foods.

C.Because GM foods are easy to grow and bring in more money.

D.Because GM plants are not natural.

【5】The best title of this passage is ________.

A.Dolphin’s life and foodB.Amy’s job at a marine park

C.Education in parkD.GM foods

【題目】 English people are well known for plenty of tea that they drink. Per person in the UK consumes (消費(fèi)) around 1.9 kg of tea every year. Tea is drunk by all sections(階層) of society.

But tea is not native to Britain. Most of the tea is grown in India and China. Tea first arrived in London in the 1600s. At this time, British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available to buy. However, this was only available to the rich.

At the beginning of the 1700s, the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased slowly. Black tea arrived at this time.At first people drank this tea exactly as it was in China. They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British characteristic .

In the 1800s tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money. At this time they began to have “afternoon tea”. This includes drinking tea with a snack around 4 p.m. to avoid

feeling hungry. It is a tradition that is still going today but has become less popular in recent times.

In the late 1800s, the price of tea dropped a lot as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people. Tearooms-shops where you could buy and drink tea-started to appear across the country. People enjoyed drinking tea and social activities in these places. At the start of the 20th century, Englishmen began to make tea in their homes whenever they felt like it. Kettles (燒水壺) became necessary in every kitchen.

【題目】Talking Too Much

Peter is such a big talker. He drives David and Andy crazy! Peter thinks he is great at everything! What makes David and Andy even crazier is the fact that Peter IS good at everything! He always scores goals in soccer games. He won first place in the school speech competition. He always gets perfect marks on his tests. He can finish a math test first and get the best score in the class.

How can one person be so good at so much? However, Peter is not good at one thing. He is not good at being a good sport. No matter what Peter does well, he makes sure everyone knows about it. He is also quick to make unkind comments about other kids' mistakes. David and Andy's one wish is that Peter learns to be humble.

Not many people tell Peter what a good job he does, or congratulate him on his achievements, because Peter has already talked about them to everyone too proudly. He does not give anyone a chance to learn about anything he has done. David and Andy wish Peter could be more like Jack.
