分析 這篇文章講的是不同國家的教師節(jié)．

解答 DBCC
57．D 細(xì)節(jié)題．由第五段第一句"In Russia，Teachers'Day was celebrated on the first Sunday of October between 1965 and 1994．"可知俄羅斯的教師節(jié)在十月份，故正確答案為D．
58．B 推斷題．由第五段第二句"Since 1994，the day is observed on the October 5，just the same day as World Teachers Day．"可知該句仍在講慶祝教師節(jié)．結(jié)合第五段第一句"In Russia，Teachers'Day was celebrated on the first Sunday of October between 1965 and 1994．"中的 celebrate 可推知 observed 意為"慶祝"，故正確答案為B．
59．C 細(xì)節(jié)題．由第四段"Teachers'Day is celebrated on September 5 in honor of Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan，the second president of India，whose birthday falls on that day．"可知 Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan 的生日在九月份，故正確答案為C．
60．C 細(xì)節(jié)題．由第二段最后一句"Its aim is to encourage supports for teachers and to meet the needs of students．"可知C項正確．A項，泰國第一個教師節(jié)發(fā)生在1957年，而早在1939年，中國就已將孔子誕辰作為教師節(jié)，所以A項錯誤．B項，由第三段最后一句"However，it was founded again in 1985，and the day was changed to September 10．"可知B項錯誤．D項，文中沒有提及，所以D項錯誤．故正確答案為C．

6．English is an important global language，but that doesn't mean it's easy to learn．Many experts have tried to make English easier for students to learn-but they weren't always successful．
In 1930，Professor CK Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English．It had only 850 words （and just eighteen verbs） and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours．The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages，but they couldn't understand the answers in"real"English!It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasn't in the Basic English word list．For example，if you wanted a watermelon，you asked for"a large green fruit with the form of an egg，which has a sweet red inside and a good taste"!
RE Zachrisson，a university professor in Sweden，decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling，so he invented a language called Anglic．Anglic was similar to English，but with much simpler spelling．"Father"became"faadher"，"new"became"nue'and"years"became"yeerz"．Unfortunately for some students of English，Anglic never became popular．
Even easier is the language which ships'captains use：it's called"Seaspeak"．Seaspeak uses a few simple phrases for every possible situation．In Seaspeak，for example，you don't say，"I'm sorry what did you say？"or"I didn't understand，can you repeat that？"It's just"Say again．"No more grammar!
In the age of international communication through the Internet who knows？…a new form of English might appear．A large number of the world's e-mails are in English and include examples of"NetLingo"like OIC （Oh，I see） and TTYL （Talk to you later）．In another fifty years，English might not exist…we will probably all speak fluent Internetish!
36．The best title for the passage would beD．
A．Seaspeak      B．Basic English       C．Internetish       D．Easy English    
37．It will take a person aboutCweeks to learn Basic English if he spends two hours learning it every day．
A．six           B．four               C．two             D．three
38．According to Professor Zachrisson，what was the biggest problem for learners of English？D
A．Grammar．B．Vocabulary．C．Speaking．D．Spelling．
39．Which of the following is likely to be Anglic？B
A．IOU  B．A graet batl．C．Long time no see．D．Two five，no lights．
40．What might happen to English in another fifty years？A
A．It might be replaced by Internetish．
B．It might become a global language．
C．It might take the place of all other languages．
D．It might become more and more difficult．

7．Like many other places in the world，recently，Indiana education officials decided that the schools of the state will not be required to teach handwriting skills to students any longer．Instead，they will focus their energies on teaching students how to type．Is handwriting still an important skill？An online survey received some surprising responses．
Handwriting is not necessary．Students only need to know how to read it，and the only time that they must write something is to make a signature．Why stress them more than they need to be stressed？We already put so much pressure on them to perform on state tests．-Rita
Children don't write letters now．They send e-mails or text messages．A lot of those old ways are going away．How many bills do you pay by writing a check anymore？-Brown
Although my son is not comfortable with writing，I bought a workbook for him to practice his handwriting．Can you imagine being an adult and not being able to sign a document？-Susan
What a shame!I guess one day it will be a lost art，because handwriting is that personal and beautiful．It has personality-Anna
The school where I worked dropped handwriting several years ago．Unless the students have computers in class，they will not be able to take notes at high speed．I have to speak very slowly and stop after a sentence or two because many students write very slowly．-Helen
The same thing happened here in Tennessee this past year．I think it's a shame．I just received a handwritten letter from my stepmother and it meant that she spent time sitting and writing．Such a letter brought me a good feeling．-Kathy
Children should still learn writing，for the sake of having a skill that all people can communicate with．I certainly appreciate a handwritten note of thanks or news from my children and grandchildren．-Ruth

4．Have you ever been afraid？Do thunder and lightning make your heart beat faster？Maybe your mouth goes dry when your teacher says you will be given a test，or your palms（手掌） sweat when it's your turn to give your report in front of the class．Perhaps you   get butterflies in your stomach when you see the bully （欺負(fù)人的人） who chooses you．
We all have fears sometimes．That's true no matter how big we are or how brave we can be．Fear of getting too close to a campfire may save you from a bad burn．And fear of getting a bad grade on a test may make you study hard．Being nervous can also sharpen your senses and help you perform better during a track meet．Some people even enjoy being a little scared （恐懼的）．That's why they like to watch scary movies．

Tell your parents if your anxiety becomes strong and is getting in the way of what you want to do．Your parents can take you to a doctor，who can help to find out if a medical problem is making you feel anxious．But you can also try these ways to kill the feeling yourself．

60．What does the underlined phrase"get butterflies in your stomach"（Paragraph 1）probably mean？B
A．Get angry．    B．Get nervous．
C．Get hurt．      D．Get excited．
61．What does the writer want to show in the second paragraph？D
A．Brave people won't feel fear whatever happens．
B．Children are easier to show fear than adults．
C．Fear is a sign of being sick and unhealthy．
D．Fear can be good to people sometimes．

A．often appears before an important exam

C．can't be treated once it begins
D．sometimes doesn't seem to have a clear reason

11．According to a report，more than a million workers will fail to take their full annul leave（年假） this year in UK．That's to say，totally，those workers will give up 6.2million days of vacation，with an average of five days for each worker．For their employers，they feel happy because that is equal to a potential﹩500million of‘free'work，which，according to an economist will boost（使增長） the output of the economy by about two percent．
The report also showed that the main reasons employees give up their remaining annul leave are due to pressures at work and their failing to appreciate that taking a break could make them more productive and，in turn，boost the economy in the long term．
The research，done by price comparison website Travel Supermarket，found that more than one in four of those who will give up their remaining holidays （28percent） will do so due to pressures at work．Bob Atkinson，travel expert for Travel Supermarket said："As the economy is not so satisfying，it's no surprise that people are cautious to take all their leave，especially if they feel stressed and uncertainty at work．"Nine percent of the 2，020people surveyed also said they would feel guilty about taking the leave because their work would have to be taken care of by their colleagues．A further three percent said they would be concerned about how taking time off would look to their employer，while the same percentage said they did not want to miss anything interesting or beneficial at work in the time they would be away．
Vicky Redwood，chief UK economist at Capital Economics，said："Suppose that there are about 250working days in a year，getting an extra five‘free'days of work from their employees could in theory boost the output of  the economy by about two percent．On the other hand，if workers are less productive as a result of not getting enough breaks from work，taking all the annual leave，in fact，will perhaps increase the economy．"

41．According to the report，in UK more than a million workersD．
A．will not ask for leave in their working days
B．will take five days leave on average
C．will work 500million days freely for their employers
D．will not take all their holiday leave this year
42．Which of the following is NOT a reason why employees don't take all their holiday leave？C
A．They have a lot of pressures at work．
B．They don't realize that they will be more productive after taking a break．
C．They are busy and have no time because they have a lot of work to do．
D．They don't think it proper to have their work taken care of by their colleagues．
43．According to the report above，three percent of the people don't take all their holiday leave becauseA．
A．they are worried about their employer's view on their taking holidays
B．they are under great pressure from the work
C．they are afraid of being found by their employers while taking holidays
D．they worry about losing their jobs after taking holidays
44．From what Vicky Redwood said，we can infer thatB．
A．employees'extra five days of work will certainly boost the output of the economy by about two percent．
B．not getting enough breaks from work may cause workers less productive
C．in order to boost output in the economy，employees should give up some holidays
D．the more leave the employees take，the better the economy will become
45．The passage is mainly aboutB．
A．a(chǎn) report about how the workers in UK take their holidays
B．the fact that one million employees in UK don't take all their annual leave

1．If you，a man，are looking through this，congratulations：you are a survivor （幸存者）．According to a survey，you are more than twice likely to die of skin cancer than a woman，and nine times more likely to die of AIDS．If you make it to the end of your natural term，about 78 years for men in Australia，you will die on average five years before a woman．
　  There are many reasons for this．Men take more risks than woman and are more likely to drink and smoke-but perhaps more importantly，men don't go to the doctor．
"Men aren't seeing doctors as often as they should．"says Dr．Gullotta，"This is particularly so for the over 40s，when diseases tend to strike．"Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two．For those over 45，it should be at least once a year．Two months ago Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed（延遲） doing anything about his smoker's cough for a year．"When I finally saw him it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer．"he says．"Earlier finding and treatment may not have cured him，but it would have made him live longer．"
　  According to a recent survey，95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year，compared to 70% of men in the same age group．
"A lot of men think they are strong enough．While some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know．Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies．"Dr．Gullotta says．He believes most diseases that commonly affect men could be found out by check-ups．Regular check-ups for men would place strain on the public purse，Gullotta says．"But prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to cure the diseases．Besides，the final/highest cost is far greater：it is called premature death（過早死亡）．"
49．From the first paragraph，we can know thatB．
A．women are more likely to die of skin cancer
B．men are more likely to get some deadly diseases
C．men can live five years longer than women
D．men who live long are very lucky
50．What is a more important reason for man's death？C
A．Men take more risks than women．
B．Diseases tend to strike men easily
C．Men don't go to doctors for check-ups．
D．Men like drinking and smoking．
51．Why does the author take a 50-old-man as an example？A
A．To realize the importance of disease prevention．
B．To show he could have avoided death．
C．To prove smoking leads to lung cancer．
D．To think highly of the doctor's work．
52．What can be drawn from the last paragraph？D
A．Treatment would cost a lot of money．
B．Cars are more valuable than health．
C．Men are brave to accept the reality．
D．Check-ups are necessary and worthwhile．

8．What is America's number one sport？Can I still say baseball？You could make that statement 30years ago，but things have changed．Baseball of course has the richest history of all sports．But with the popularity of basketball and American football，there can now be an argument on which sport is American's number one sport．
Basketball really took a turn in the1980's as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird took the NBA to another level．Of course，basketball was already popular and had seen such stars as Jerry West and Dr．J，but the real breakthrough（突破）came in the 1980's and from there it really took off with Michael Jordan into the 90's．Basketball has even become very global now as many NBA stars competed in the Olympics and faced no competition．Today，they had better be ready because there are so many talents in other countries and the competition will be  stiff．
Like basketball，American football has always been a favorite of many sports fans and its popularity has grown widely．The ratings（收視率）that Super Bowl Sunday brings are amazing．They have even talked about making Super Bowl Sunday a national holiday．
In the year 2050，basketball and American football will have history like baseball's rich history and maybe American national sport．They have been trying for years，but it is not going to happen．
So what is American's number one sport？To me baseball will always be Americans'hobby-rich in history and many memories for people of all ages．If you have any comments on this subject，do give your opinions．

51．The most powerful basketball player in l980's isB
A．Larry Bird     B．Michael Jordan
C．Jerry West     D．Magic Johnson
52．This passage mainly talks aboutC
A．baseball and its history
B．the most popular sport in the world
C．which sport is the number one in America
D．whether basketball is a global sport pastime
53．The author agrees that American footballA
A．will have rich history
B．is world's most popular sport
C．has its breakthrough in the l 980's
D．will have the richest history by 2050
54．What does the underlined word"stiff"mean in Paragraph Two？B
A．Safe     B．Hard．    
C．Crazy．  D．Strong．
55．The author wrote the passage toD．
A．persuade people to support baseball as America's number one sport
B．introduce the history of different sports in America
C．compare different kinds of sports that are popular among American people
D．express his idea that baseball is America's number one sport．
