ALight travels at a speed which is about a million times faster than the speed of sound. In one second, light travels about 300,000 km, but sound travels only 0.334 km. You can get some idea of this difference by watching the start of a race. If you stand some distance away from the starter, you can see smoke come from his gun before the sound reaches your ears.This great speed of light produces some strange facts. Sunlight takes about 8 minutes to reach us. If you look at the light of the moon tonight, remember that the light rays left the moon 1.3 seconds before they reached you. The nearest star is so far away that the light which you can see from it tonight started to travel towards you four years ago at a speed of nearly 2 million km per minute. In some cases, the light from one of tonight’s stars started on its journey to you before you were born.Thus, if we want to be honest, we cannot say, “The stars are shining tonight.” We have to say, “The stars look pretty. T hey were shining four years ago but their light has only just reached Earth.”56. Light speed is _____ than sound speed.A. millions times fasterB. a million times slowerC. about millions of times fasterD. about a million times faster57. If you stand 200 meters away from a man who is firing a gun to start a race, you will find out that ___A. you can hear the gun before you see the s mokeB. sound does not travel as fast as ligh tC. the sound of the gun will reach you before the man fires his gunD. sound travels about a million times faster than light58. The light of the nearest star you see tonight has been ____ for years.A. on the earthB. on the moonC. away from the sunD. away from the starBHowever, the number of people who learn English as a foreign language is more than 750 million. Everywhere in the world children go to school to learn English. Most people learn English for five or six years at high school. In China students learn English at school as a foreign language, except for those in Hong Kong, where many people speak English at school as a first or a second language.In only fifty years, English has developed into the language most widely spoken and used in the world. English i s the working language of most international organizations, international trade and tourism. Businessmen and tourists often come to China without being able to speak Chinese. Chinese businessmen, taxi drivers and students talk with them using English. English is also the language of global culture, such as popular music and the Internet. You can listen to English songs on the radio or use English to communicate with people around the world through the Internet. With so many people communicating in English every day, it will become more and more important to have a good knowledge of English.59. How many people learn English as a second language?A. 37,500,000B. 375,000,000C. 750,000,000D.75,000,00060.

Native speakers of English might find it unnecessary for them to learn a foreign languageC. The number of learners of English will become smaller in the futureD. With the development of China’s economy, Chinese will become more important than EnglishCThroughout history, people have been interested in knowing how language first began, but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. However, we do know a lot about languages, the languages of today and also the languages of earlier times. There are probably about three thousand languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with the most speakers. English, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by manymillions of people. On the other hand, some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers.There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original( 最初的 ) language of this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago. Many of the present day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 years ago.Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different fromthe English of 500 years ago. In time some even die out completely. About 1,000years ago English was a little –known relative of German spoken on one of the borders （边界）of Europe.If a language has a lot of speakers or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is, the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of speakers. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China cannot understand speakers from other parts.64.

Many European and Indian languages ______.A. will soon die out completelyB. were once a relative of EnglishC. are the same as beforeD. come from the same family66. _____ seems to have changed a lotA.

The word dialect in the last paragraph means ____.A. a special language spoken by ChineseB. the sign used by the Chinese people in a special areaC. the difference between the old and today’s ChineseD. the form of a language used in one part of the countryDWhen I was 16 years old, I made my firs t visit to the United States. It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad. Like most of English children I learned French at school. And I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand French. But whe n I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems.How wrong I was. The misunderstanding began at the airport. I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Danny a call and tell her that I had arrived. A friendly old man saw me looking lost and asked if he could help me.“Yes”, I said. “I want to give my friend a ring.”“Well, that’s nice,” he said. “Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young?”“Who is talking about marriage?” I replied. “I only want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived. Can you tell me where there’s a phone box?”“Oh!” he said, “there’s a phone downstairs.”When at last we met, Danny explained the misunderstandings to me.“Don’t worry,” she said to me, “I had so many difficulties at first. There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from British. You will soon get used to all the funny things they say. Most of the time British and American people understand each other!”68. Where was the writer from?A. America.B. France.C. England.D. China69. The writer wanted ______.A. to buy a ring for his friendB. to make a call to his friendC. to go to the telephone companyD. his friend to see him off70. From the passage we can see that “give somebody a ring” ______.A. has the same meaning in America as in EnglandB. means “call somebody” for the old manC. has two different meaningsD. means “be going to get married” in England71. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “they” refers to ______.A. the old man and the boyB. the AmericansC. the BritishD. the FrenchEDuring the 20th century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century probably has been in her middle 20’s and would be likely to have seven or eight children. By the time the youngest was 15, the mother would have been in her early 50’s and would expect to live a further 20 years, during which chance and health made it hard for her to get paid work. Today women ma rry younger and have fewer children.Usually a woman’s youngest child will be 15 when she is 45 and she can be expected to live another 35years and is likely to get paid work until 60.This important change in women’s life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school and took a fulltime job. However, when they married they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is 16, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more return to work later. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties of family life.72. We learn from this passage that in the 19th century_____ .A. there were more children in the world than there are todayB. women spent a greater part of their lives raising children than they do todayC. there were more women in poor health than there are todayD. women married younger than they do today73. One reason why a married woman of today may take a job is that ____.A. she is usually younger when her children are old enough to look after themselvesB. she is obliged to help her husband support the familyC. she feels lonely at home when her children grow upD. she hopes to change the world a bit by doing so74. Many girls are now likely to ____.A. give up their jobs after they get marriedB. leave school as soon as they canC. marry early so that they can get better jobsD. continue working until they are going to have a baby75. Now a husband probably ____ .A. plays a greater part in looking after the childrenB. does almost all of the houseworkC. feels unhappy about his wife’s going out to workD. takes a part-time job so as to help at home第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）My mother is a diligent and kind woman.
