考题共用题干 A Debate on the English LanguageA measure declaring English the national language is under intense debate in the United States .The US Senate passed two declarations last week.One calls English the nation's official lan-guage and the other says it is the “common and unifying（统一的）”tongue. But Americans found themselves divided on the issue.Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English,many can't understandwhy the issue is so controversial（有争议的）.“The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues,”says Dick Tucker,a social scientist at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University.“It's related to a worry about the changing demography （人口统计）of the US It's a worry about who will continue to have political and economic influence.”In fact,the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation's founding. John Adams lobbied（游说）in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language.But his proposal died,since lawmakers saw it as a roy-alist（保皇主义者）attempt to define personal behavior.Since then,the country hasn't had a national language,but the idea of recognizing the special status of English lived on.The emotions surrounding language resurface（再次浮现）not because people feel comfortable with English .It is more about the discomfort many Americans feel with the new languages,says Walt Wolfram,a professor at North Carolina State University.“Language is never about language,”he says.According to the 2000 US Census Bureau report,of 209 million Americans over 18 years old, 172 million speak only English at home.About 37 million speak languages other than English. Among them,6 .5 million speak poor English and 3 .1 million don't speak English at all. Which statement is true according to the 2000 US Census Bureau report?A: 172 million Americans speak only English in their workplaces.B: 37 million Americans speak English.C: 209 million Americans are above the age of 18.D: 6.5 million Americans speak good English.

考题共用题干 Few men have influenced the development of American English to the extent that Noah Webster did.After a short career in law,he turned to teaching,but he discovered how inadequate the available schoolbooks were for the children of a new and independent nation.In response to the need for truly American textbooks,Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language,a three-volume work that consisted of a speller,a grammar,and a reader.The first volume,which was generally known as The American Spelling Book,was so popular that eventually it sold more than 80 million copies and provided him with a considerable income for the rest of his life.Can you imagine that?Anyway,in 1807,Noah Webster began his greatest work,An American Dictionary of the English Language.In preparing the manuscript,he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages,and seven more years to the writing itself. Published in two volumes in 1828,An American Dictionary of the English Language has become the recognized authority for usage in the United States.Webster's purpose in writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings,pronunciations,and spellings from those of British English. He is responsible for advancing many of the simplified spelling forms that distinguish American English from British.Webster was the first author to gain copyright protection in the United States by being awarded a copyright for The American Spelling Book and he continued to lobby over the next fifty years for the protection of intellectual properties,that is,for author's rights.By the time that Webster brought out the second edition of his dictionary,which included 70,000 entries instead of the original 38,000, the name Webster had become synonymous with American dictionaries.It was this second edition that served as the basis for the many revisions that have been produced by others, ironically,under the uncopyrighted Webster name.Webster remains active in promoting copyright protection throughout his life.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned

考题共用题干第三篇Recycling Around the WorldRecycling is one of the best environmental success stories of the late 20th century.But we could do more.People must not see recycling as fashionable,but essential.The Japanese are very good at recycling because they live in a crowded country. They do not have much space.They do not want to share their limited space with rubbish.But even so,Tokyo area alone is estimated to have three million tons of leftover rubbish at present.In 1996, the United States recycled and composted（制成肥料）57 million tons of waste (27%of the nation's solid waste).This is 57 million tons of waste which did not go into landfills and incinerators（焚化炉）.In doing this,7,000 rubbish collection programs and recycling centers helped the authorities.In Rockford,a city in Illinois,U.S.,its officials choose one house each week and check its garbage（废物）.If the garbage does not contain an newspapers or aluminum（铝）cans,then the resident of the house gets a prize of at least$1,000.In Japan,certain cities give children weekly supplies of tissue paper and toilet paper in exchange for a weekly collection of newspapers.In one year Britain recycles:——1 out of every 3 newspapers.——1 out of every 4 glass bottles and jars（罐子）.——1 out of every 4 items of clothing.——1 out of every 3 aluminum drink cans.In 1999,Hong Kong transported 1.3 million tons of waste to mainland China for recycling. Around 535,000 tons of waste was recycled in Hong Kong itself.Over half the things we throw away could be recycled.That means we could recycle 10 times as much as we do now.However,recycling needs a lot of organization and special equipment. Also,there is not much use for some recycled material.How much waste did the U. S.recycle in 1 996?A:1.3 million tons. B:27 million tons.C:53 million tons. D:57 million tons.

考题问答题Read the passage carefully and answer Questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.　　In the United States today, many people want a college education. However, almost half of the people who go to college now do not attend a four-year college. Instead, they go to a community college.　　The community college offers a two-year course of study in a wide range of subjects. It prepares some young people to go on to a four-year college. It trains others for jobs in business, government, or industry.　　Some people choose a community college because of cost. The tuition for a semester at a community college can be less than half the cost of a semester at a four-year college. Also, since these colleges are located in large communities, their students can save money by living at home.　　Community colleges are also useful for people who have jobs and who do not have time for a traditional four-year college. Some of these people take night courses at community colleges. Others complete long-distance courses, in which they stay at home and use video-tapes, audiotapes, and the Internet.　　Community colleges also serve high school graduates who only achieved low grades. Many of these students would not be admitted to a four-year college. If they do well, they may go on to a four-year college.　　Today, the country’s 1,500 community colleges have more than 10 million students. These colleges are making it possible for more and more people to continue their education.　　Questions:　　1．What is the passage mainly about?　　2．What does theyin paragraph 1 refer to?　　3．In which fields does a community college provide job training?　　4．Why do people often prefer to go to a community college?　　5．What does the word tuitionin paragraph 3 mean?
