Prior to modern times, Western Europe was an underdeveloped rather than a developed re

gion.In the eleventh century China was producing two and a half times as much iron as did England and Wales together in 1640.By the twelfth century several Chinese cities had a population n equal to that of the whole contemporary England- about 1.3 million people.When the Westerners began their attack of Constantinople in 1203, they were full of respects for those high walls, those mighty towers, those rich palaces and churches, of which there were so many that no man could believe it if he had not seen them with their own eyes.

In modern times the situation was changed, thanks in large part to the profits from overseas trade and colonies, and to the settlement in new continents.Therefore, ninety percent of the world's total industrial output comes today from European origin.About two-thirds of the world's people are earning about $200 per capital every year, while the remaining one-third enjoy per capital incomes as high as $2,400 in the case of the United States.

Questions are based on the following passage. Prior to the 20th century, many languages

Questions are based on the following passage.

Prior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survivedfor centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much moredifficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor inlanguage maintenance and preservation.

It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and culturaldiversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it:population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the world"s last isolatedlocations; mass tourism; global telecommunications and mass media; and the spread ofgigantic global corporations. All of these forces appear to signify a future in which thelanguage of advertising, popular culture, and consumer products become similar. AlreadyEnglish and a few other major tongues have emerged as global languages of commerceand communication. For many of the world"s peoples, learning one of these languages isviewed as the key to education, economic opportunity, and a better way of life.

Only about 3,000 languages now in use are expected to survive the coming century.

Are most of the rest doomed in the century after that? Whether most of these languagessurvive will probably depend on how strongly cultural groups wish to keep their identityalive through a native language. To do so will require an emphasis on bilingualism(mastery of two languages). Bilingual speakers could use their own language in smallerspheres —— at home, among friends, in community settings —— and a global language atwork, in dealings with government, and in commercial spheres. In this way, many smalllanguages could sustain their cultural and linguistic integrity alongside global languages,rather than yield to the homogenising (同化的) forces of globalisation.

Ironically, the trend of technological innovation that has threatened minoritylanguages could also help save them. For example, some experts predict that computersoftware translation tools will one day permit minority language speakers to browse theInternet using their native tongues. Linguists are currently using computer-aided learningtools to teach a variety of threatened languages.

According to the passage, minority languages can be best preserved ___________. 查看材料

A.in the interconnected modern world

B.in relatively isolated language communities

C.if cultural groups wish to keep their native languages

D.if minority language speakers insist on using their own languages

听力原文:Our environment is being polluted faster than nature and man's present efforts ca
n prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more motor vehicles, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.

What can explain and solve this problem? The fact is that pollution is caused by man-by his desire for a modern way of life. We make "increasing industrialization" our chief aim. For its sake, we are willing to sacrifice every thing: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, so pollution has be come a serious problem.

Isn't it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why? It reminds one of the stories about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, "I've some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we're making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we're lost and don't know where we're going." The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when applied to our modern society.

(30)

A.We are making too many vehicles.

B.We have more and more industry.

C.There are too many developing countries.

D.People use too many man-made materials.

听力原文: Being able to swim has always been a valued skill. But competitive swimming is just over one hundred years old. Racing in the water began in Europe only about fifty years before the modern Olympics. England was the leader in this new sport. Pools were built and races were held.

Interest was spurred when a group of Native Americans went to England in 1844 to swim against an English team. To the surprise and dismay of the English, the Americans beat them easily. At that time the English used the breast stroke, which was thought a good. form. The Americans used a kind of free style. that was much faster.

A short time later an English family, who had moved to Australia, developed the crawl, an overhead swimming method. One of that same family also took it to America. Charles Daniels, an early user of the crawl, changed the kicking rhythm to develop the American crawl.

(26)

A.About fifty years before the first modern Olympics.

B.Fifty years ago.

C.When the crawl was developed.

D.After the breast stroke was developed.

听力原文: There are so many things going on in our modern lives, and change happens so quickly. It is hard to imagine a time when things were slower and you could really see a new thing come into your life and to remember the day or the year when those things happened. I know that today, for example, there, are many instances of second and third generations of things, such as televisions or radios, when some of us were not even aware that there was a first generation.

A friend of mine was born at the end of the last century, and talking to her, I really got a sense of her being a living history book, of being able to talk about the changes in her own life and to know that these changes were really the changes that society was going through.

She gets really excited, for example, when she talks about the first time she ever saw a camera, and even more excited when she saw herself in the picture that the photographer took. She lived in a small town, and at the time that she was very young, there were no cars or trains in her town at all. As she grew up, cars and trains came in, and she remembers her first ride with a real sense of amazement that any one count move so fast.

(30)

A.It's amazing that anyone could move so fast.

B.Televisions mark the beginning of modem life.

C.Modern life is changing very fast.

D.It's hard to remember the past.

听力原文:Modern Chinese use the solar calendar as English people do. But at the same time,

听力原文: Modern Chinese use the solar calendar as English people do. But at the same time, they use their own lunar calendar. Each lunar year is given the name of one of these animals: the rat, the ox, the tiger, the hare, the dragon, the snake, the horse, the goat, the monkey, the chicken, the dog and the pig. This list lasts for twelve years and then starts again.

Each Chinese month starts on the day of the new moon, and the full moon cames on the fifteenth day of the month. The New Year always starts between January the twenty first and February the twentieth.

On the last day of the lunar year, there is a big family dinner. All members of the family (except married daughters) try to be present at this meal, even if they have to travel many miles to reach the home of their parents. Old quarrels are forgotten, and everybody is happy. After the dinner, the children keep awake to welcome the New Year.

The New Year celebrations last for 15 days, from the new moon to the full moon. On the first day, children and unmarried people go to visit their elders.

(30)

A.It was the year of the ox.

听力原文: Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new materials or to express himself or the age in original ideas. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist's failure concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.

We can't judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.

(30)

A.Because they are aged.

B.Because they find it hard to accept modern things.

C.Because they take their standards of perfection from the Greek.

D.Because they look at things by the standards of the past.
