The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have caused pollution of the environment. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are not easy to break and people throw them away here and there. So the Chinese people are encouraged to bring their own bags for shopping.

第2题：
Interviewer-------- Why is English so important?
David------- Well, English is so important primarily because so many people speak it and use it, so it has now become the lingua franca in the world in a way that we’ve never seen before. We’ve never had a world language of this kind before. So people are learning it not just to be able tocommunicate with native speakers, but also with speakers of other language around world.
Interviewer-------And why has it become that dominant language?
David------I think the reason for that is actually very complicated, although in the twentieth century, we can just see that it’s the rise of the US military and consumer power. I mean the technology, all the big developments in technology largely came from the US. So all of these developments actually were produced within the English language, and people had to learn English in order to understand them, or to benefit from them. The Internet is only one example of that kind. Once a language has got into that position of dominance, it’s actually very different to shift it. So we could be seeing the emergence of other big languages in the world becoming more important than they have been, like Spanish, but it’s unlikely that they’re going to shift the English from its position of dominance.
36. English is important, according to David, __________________________. A). because it has become a world language B). because so many people speak and use it C). because a lot of people are learning it D). because it is the lingua franca
37. English has become the dominant language in the world________________________. A). because it has always been the way B). for a reason that is very complicated C). only in the 20th century D). for no reasons
38. English became the dominant language in the 20th century_________________________. A). in the USA
B). because of the increase in American consumer power
C). because developments in technology came mainly from USA. D). all over the world.
39. People had to learn English______________________.
A). because developments in technology were made by English speakers B). because they needed to understand the new developments in technology C). to use the Internet
D). to speak with native Americans
40. David thinks that__________________________.
A). it will be easy for another language to become dominant B). English will not always be the dominant language
C). it will not be easy for another language to become dominant D). English will be the dominant language

第三篇
People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years.The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals.They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill.Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain.No one knows why they were painted there.Perhaps the painters thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals.Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures.
About 5,000 years ago,the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as kind of writing. They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas,and also to represent the sounds of their language.The signs there people used became a kind of alphabet.
The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture-writing and pictures together. When an important person died,scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried.Some of these pictures are like modern comic strip stones.It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip.But for Egyptians,pictures still had magic power. So they did not try to make their way of writing simple.The ordinary people could not understand it.
By the year 1000 BC,people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing. The signs they used were very easy to write,and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system.This was because each sign,or letter,represented only one sound in their language.The Greeks developed this system and formed the letters of the Greek alphabet.The Romans copied the idea and the Roman alphebet is now used all over the world.
These days,we can write down a story,or record information,without using pictures.But we still need pictures of all kinds:drawing,photographs,signs and diagrams.We find them everywhere:in books and newspapers,in the street,and on the walls of the places where we live and work.Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily,and they can make a story much more interesting.Pictures of animals were painted on the walls of caves in France and Spain because______.
A:the hunters wanted to see the pictures
B:the painters were animal lovers
C:the painters wanted to show imagination
D:the pictures were thought to be helpful答案：D解析：本题是细节考查题。原文是“无人知晓为何会画在那里，或许画画的人认为这些图能帮他们捉住这些动物，或者人类总是通过图画来叙述故事”。选项A“猎人想看到这些图画”；选项B“画图的人喜爱动物”；选项C“画图的人想展现自己的想象力”；选项D“图画被认为是有用的”。根据文章第一段可知，答案为D。
本题是细节考查题。原文是“他们画出简单的图或符号来代表事物和思想，以及他们所用语言的发音。这些人用的符号就成为了字母表”。选项A“物品”；选项B “字母表，'；选项C“思想”；选项D“所用语言的发音”。由此可知答案为B。
本题是细节考查题。题目问：希腊字母表比埃及的简单，以下哪个不是其原因？选项A“希腊字母更易写”；选项B“希腊字母数量更少”；选项C“希腊字母更好发音”, 这一点文章未提及；选项D“每个符号仅代表一个发音”。由此可知答案为C。
本题是细节考查题。选项A“埃及人用的符号后来变成一种字母表”，选项B“埃及人喜欢画漫画故事”；选项C"罗马字母表由埃及的演变而来”；选项D“希腊人模仿埃及人的书写系统”。综观全文可知，答案为A。
本题是综合阅读能力考查题。选项A“应该让人容易理解”；选项B“应该有趣”；选项C“在生活中很有用”；选项D“从生活中消失了”。由本文最后一段可知，答案为C。 -
第5题：
Elderly people respond best to a calm and unhurried environment. This is not always easy to provide as their behavior can sometimes be irritating. If they get excited or upset then they may become more confused and more difficult to look after. Although sometimes it can be extremely difficult, it is best to be patient and not to get upset yourself. You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary.
Failing memory makes it difficult for the person to recall all the basic kinds of information we take for granted. The obvious way to help in this situation is to supply the information that is missing
and help them make sense of what is going on. You must use every opportunity to provide information but remember to keep it simple and straight forward.
"Good morning, Mum. This is Fiona, your daughter. It is eight o′clock, so if you get up now, we can have breakfast downstairs."
When the elderly person makes confused statements, e.g. about going out to his or her old employment or visiting a dead relative, correct in a calm matter-of-fact fashion: "You don′t work in the office any more. You are retired now. Will you help me with the dishes?"
We rely heavily on the information provided by signposts, clocks, calendars and newspapers. These assist us to organize and direct our behavior. Confused old people need these aids all the time to compensate for their poor memory. Encourage them to use reminder boards or diaries for important coming events and label the contents of different cupboards and drawers. Many other aids such as information cards, old photos, scrap books, addresses or shopping lists could help in individual case.
The main subject of the passage about elderly people is ___________.A.their general care and welfare
B.promoting their physical and mental health
C.how they can be helped to look after themselves as far as possible
D.assisting them with physical problems to live a normal life答案：C解析：主旨题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲了如何帮助老人尽可能地照顾他们自己。作者在首段最后一句“You should always encourage old people to do as much as possible for themselves but be ready to lend a helping hand when necessary．"点明了本文的主旨。然后在接下来的段落中．分别讲了如何帮助老年人记忆以及如何纠正老年人的错误等对策。故C项最能体现文章的主旨。 -

第13题：
If you don’t have much experience of making phone calls in English, making a business call can be a worrying experience. Most business people, unless they feel very confident, prepare for an important phone call in a foreign language by making notes in advance. And during the call they make notes while they’re talking to help them to remember what was said. Although it’s quick and convenient to phone someone to give them information or to ask questions, the disadvantage is that there is nothing in writing to help you to remember what was said. It’s essential to make notes and often when an agreement is reached on the phone, one of the speakers will send a fax or e-mail to confirm the main points that were made. Because it’s so easy to be misunderstood when talking on the phone, it’s a good idea to repeat any important information (especially numbers and names) back to the other person to make sure you’ve got it right. Always make sure you know the name of the person you’re talking to. If necessary, ask them to spell it out to you, so that you can make sure you’ve got it right----and try to use their name during the call. And make sure that they know your name too.
1. If you don’t have much experience of making phone calls in English, making a business call can be ().
A.an easy thing
B.a happy experience
C.a painful thing
2.Most business people prepare for an important phone call in a foreign language by making notes in advance because ().
A.they are very careful
B.their foreign language isn’t so good
C.they don’t want to miss any important information
3. When the speakers reach an agreement on the phone, ()will send a fax or e-mail in order to confirm the main points that were made.
A.one of them
B.both of them
C.none of them
4.What does “IT” refer to in the first sentence in_Paragraph Four_----“…it’s a good idea to repeat any important information (especially numbers and names) back to the other person to make sure you’ve gotITright”()
A.important information
B.the other person
C.a good idea
5.The best title of this passage is().
A.The Importance of Taking Notes
B.Business Calls
C.Talking on the Phone

第20题：
资料：To manage teams organization require effective managers.Highly skilled and trained managers can make more informed decisions. The use of beat practice models enables managers to ensure their teams operate efficiently.This will improve quality for customers as staff will be better trained to deal with customers' needs.It will also improve team effectiveness and help organizations to perform better.
As they manage their team, team leaders need to consider the most suitable management style to use. For example, an autocratic manager would like to retain control. Without consulting others, they would tell subordinates what to do.
This is particularly appropriate when decisions need to be made quickly, for instance, in a recession when delays could lead to a business closing. In contrast, a democratic manager would encourage participation by employees. Shared information would allow the team to influence decision making. This is particularly appropriate when there is a highly skilled workforce or when new developments are being considered. However, this style can be time-consuming and so would not be the best option when decisions are needed quickly.
What is true of a democratic manager?A.s/he loves people to discuss problems.
B.s/he is likely to delay the decisions.
C.s/he seldom consults others.
D.s/he needs to make quick response.答案：A解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】true; democratic manager
【主题句】第3自然段In contrast, a democratic manager would encourage participation by employees. Shared information would allow the team to influence decision making.与之相反，民主的经理会鼓励员工的参与，分享信息，允许员工影响决定的产生。

第24题：
问答题练习1 Parents in China are always trying to help their children, even to make the most important decision for them, regardless of what the children really want, because parents believe it’s all for the benefit of their children. This has led to the result that the children’s growth and education tend to give way to their parents’ wishes. Once the parents decide to sign up an after school class for their children in order to increase their chance of being admitted to a good school, they will stick on their decision, even their children have no interest in it at all. In America, however, parents tend to respect their children, especially when making decisions. Perhaps it is commendable that Chinese parents lay much importance on education, but Chinese parents still need to keep the balance between the parents and children in the perspective of education as the American parents do.正确答案： 在中国,父母总是试图帮助他们的孩子,甚至为他们做重要的决定,而不管孩子想要什么,因为父母相信这样做是为了孩子好。结果,孩子的成长和教育往往屈从于父母的愿望。一旦父母决定为他们的孩子报名参加一个课外班,以增加他们被好学校录取的机会,他们会坚持自己的决定,即使他们的孩子根本不感兴趣。然而在美国,父母往往尊重孩子的意见,尤其是在做决定的时候。也许中国父母非常重视教育是值得称赞的。但是,他们应该向美国父母学习在涉及教育时如何平衡父母与孩子之间的关系。解析：
