第3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

第二篇
Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people.Shy people are anxious and self-conscious;that is,they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions.Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds.What kind of impression am I taking? Do they like me?Do I look stupid?Am I wearing attractive clothes?
It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people adversely.A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves,and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions.In general,the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.
Shy people,having low self-esteem,are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing"the right thing".Shy people are very sensitive to criticism;they feel it confirms their inferiority.They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliments because they believe they are unworthy of praise.A shy person may respond to a compliment with a statement like this one,"you are just saying that to make me feel good.I know it's not true."It is clear that,while self-awareness is a healthy quality,overdoing it is harmful.
Can shyness be completely eliminated,or at least reduced?Fortunately,people can overcome shyness with determined and patient effort in building self-confidence.Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem,it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their their strengths.For example,most people would like to be"A"student in every subject. It is not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have difficulty in some areas.People's expectations of themselves must be realistic.Living on the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy.
Each one of us is a unique,worthwhile individual. We are interested in our own personal ways.The better we understand ourselves,the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential.Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fullfilling life.Which of the following statements is true?
A:Shyness helps us to live up to our full potential.
B:Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better.
C:Shyness blocks our chances for a rich life.
D:Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem.答案：C解析：本题是综合阅读能力考查题。选项A'‘羞涩的人的特点”；选项B“导致羞涩的原因”；选项C“羞涩的人头脑中的问题”；选项D“羞涩对人的影响”。综观全文可知，答案为A。
本题是综合阅读能力考查题。原文是“有自我意识是个好的品质，但过度就有害了”。选项A“对人们有害”；选项B“羞涩的人的弱点”；选项C“导致不快乐的原因”;选项D“好的品质”。因此可知答案为D。
本题是细节考查题。题目问：害羞的人怎么回应别人对他的表扬。原文是“他们同样也很难从赞扬中感到满足，因为感觉名不符实，他们对表扬的回复往往是‘你这么说是为了让我感觉好些，我知道这不是真的”,，诸如此类。由此可知答案为B。
本题是综合阅读能力考查题。题目问：以下哪一项不能帮助害羞的人克服羞涩感。选项A'‘建立自信”；选项B“接受自己的优势和劣势”；选项C“现实一些”；选项D “树立更高的目标”。综合全文可知，答案为D。
本题是综合阅读能力考查题。选项A“羞涩有助于我们挖掘全部潜力”; 选项B“羞涩让我们更好地理解自己”；选项C“羞怯感妨碍我们拥有丰富的人生”；选项D“羞涩与缺乏自信无关”。由本文最后一句可知，答案为C。 -

问答题Culture is a bridge that connects people’s heart and emotions, a bond that enhances mutual understanding and trust between two states. Cultural exchange has a longer history than political exchange, a more profound impact than economic exchange. As time goes by, things begin to change. Many prominent figures and events will fade into history, but culture lives on. It gets ever stronger and vital with the passage of time, and has an enduring influence on the way we think and live. Different geographies have nurtured a variety of cultures, each with unique feature and attributes. They are like the shining stars in the sky, adding radiance to each other and illuminating the vast universe.正确答案：
文化是沟通人与人心灵和情感的桥梁,是国与国加深理解和信任的纽带。文化交流比政治交流更久远,比经济交流更深刻。随着时光的流逝和时代的变迁,许多人物和事件都会变成历史,但文化却永远存在,历久弥新,并长时间地影响着人们的思想和生活。不同的地域环境造就了不同的文化底蕴,形成了各具特色的文化形态,它们如同浩瀚苍穹的璀璨群星,交相辉映,光耀宇宙。解析： 暂无解析 -

第18题：
I strongly believe that understanding is more important than love, especially when it comes to parenting and intimate relationships. As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other. The painful reality is that love is just not enough. I"ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I"ll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water. Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships. As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier—our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.From the passage we know that （）.
- A、the author complains about her parents" being too understanding
- B、the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 years
- C、people divorced mainly because they didn"t love each other
- D、some people divorced because they couldn"t understand each other

由题干中“creeping dead zones”定位至C段。本段指出，这些海洋生物在死亡和腐烂的过程中会耗完水中的氧（use up the oxygen），这样就会导致死区的出现。由此可知，死区的出现是因为缺氧，故匹配段落为C段。
