第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40 分） The story of English language is a story of change. The old English language, or old English, is quite different from Modern English. If we do not study old English, we can 'understand it. Some of the words are the same, but many are not used now. The story of the En glish Ian guage beg ins some time after the year 400 AD. At this time, some people came to England from North-west Europe. There were many groups of people. They were called Angles 盎格鲁人）,Saxons （撒克逊 人）and Jutes （朱特人），whose Ianguage, old English, is like some of the modern Ianguage of North-West Europe. In old En glish, the

ending had many meanin gs. They showed past time and prese nt time and many other thin gs. In Moder n En glish, most of these endings are gone. This is the biggest differe nee betwee n Old and Moder n En glish.

41. What does the first sentence of the passage mean?

A. The story of En glish Ian guage ofte n cha nges.

B. En glish is a Ian guage that has cha nged a lot as time passes by.

C. The old En glish Ian guage has cha nged into Moder n En glish.

B

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because pla nts can make food from air ，water and sun light. Ani mals and man cannot make food from air ， water and sun light. Ani mals get their food by eat ing pla nts and other ani mals. Therefore animals and man need

plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the pla nts around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants ： flowering plants and non-flowering

plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one see ，some have two three or four ， and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An

example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores （胚芽）。 Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. Whe n these spores are all on wet and shady pla （they usually grow into new pla nts.

45. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______ .

A. pla nts are importa nt for life

B. pla nts cannot grow without air

C. there are many pla nts in the world

D. we can not live without water

46. Pla nts can make food from ____ .

D. whe n D. as D.certain

A. flower, water and air

B. water, sun light and air

C. air, water and soil

D. air, sun and light

47. What can we infer （推断）from the passage ?

A. Of all liv ing things ani mals are most importa nt

B. Spores are seeds

C. All fruits of floweri ng pla nts have seeds

D. Without pla nts, man will die out

48. This passage may be take n from ____ .

A. a medici ne book

B. a no vel

C. a scie nee magaz ine

D. an experime nt report

C

Gett ing paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I' m not a football comme ntator 评论

员）,though --just an En glish teacher in Japa n.

I came to Japa n two years ago, and did n' t thi nk I would stay, but Japa n has that effect on you. People ofte n end up liv ing here Ion ger tha n they pla nned. I thi nk it' s best to teach, i n a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often compla in of feeli ng like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for tile nightlife factor. But I'd say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.

I teach En glish privately, which means r m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teach in g, it's well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your less ons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule （日程表）of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.

Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on, but whether you can save money depe nds on how much going out and traveli ng you do here.

The schools are reluctant to take time off -- even teachers with tickets for the En gla nd-Arge nti na game had trouble gett ing the day off.

49. From the passage we know in Japa n the writer likes to live in ______ .

A. Tokyo

B. a small tow n

C. a city of middle size

D. a big city

50. Accord ing to the writer, one had better ______ first to do private teachi ng better.

A. take a TEFL course

B. decide his or her own less ons

C. find stude nts

D. build up a full schedule

51. The un derli ned sentence in the sec ond paragraph implies that _____ .

A. there are many foreig ners in Japa n

B. Japa n is good for ni ghtlife

C. they can teach English privately in Japan

D. Japan has something more attractive than expected

52. The un derli ned word "relucta nt' 'in the passage may probably mean ______ .

A. ki nd

B. un willi ng

C. free

D. careless

In a recently published book, I came across some exercises with interesting names such as fishbone diagrams, lotus flowers, and clustering. As I used these exercises in my classes, I noticed that stude nts were in terested. They said more and wrote more. They enjo yed express ing their ideas and shari ng them in groups. They were no Ion ger passively waiting for the bell, but actively took part in the less on. I find that creativity （创新）ca n act as a way to in crease participati on and improve fluency （流利程度）.

Creativity has become a popular word in rece nt years. Scholar in the arts, psychology （心理学）,bus in ess, educati on, and scie nce are all work ing to get a deeper un dersta nding of it. Robert J. Stern berg is a creativity specialist and Yale professor of psychology. He defi nes creativity as "the ability to produce work

that is both new （orig in al） and appropriate （applicable to the situatio n）". This definition is useful, as we want our students to use Ianguage in a new way, and to use it correctly and properly. Most scholars say there are two types of creativity: big "C" creativity and small "c" creativity. Big "C" creativity refers to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs. Small "c" creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation. Our emphasis is on the latter. While it goes without saying that any of our stude nts could go on to be the n ext Picasso or Edis on, our aim is to help stude nts produce more ideas and use Ian guage in new ways.

53. The un derli ned words "wait ing for the bell" in the first paragraph probably mean _______ .

A. l onging for a phone call

B. hop ing to have a bell

C. expect ing the end of the class

D. wan ti ng to speak in class

54. It can be in ferred from the passagethat the author thought the exercises in the book were

A. popular

B. useful

C. scie ntific

D. creative

55. When you use a very familiar word in a new way, you are _______ .

A. creative in the sense of big "C" creativity

B. creative in the sense of small "c" creativity

C. not creative in the sense of big "C" creativity

D. not creative in the sense of small "c" creativity

56. The main purpose of the passage is to _________ .

A. show how useful the book is

B. explai n what creativity is

C. discuss how one can be creative

D. tell what teachi ng aims

Childhood was an illusion （错觉）and the illusion was this: everything was bigger. No, Imean everything, not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and journeys, especially journ eys which seemed en dless. “ Are we there yet, Daddy? ”

almost catch the colors and sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little.
