剑桥雅思阅读9原文(test3)READING PASSAGE 1You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.Attitudes to languageIt is not easy to be systematic and objective about language study. Popular linguistic debate regularly deteriorates into invective and polemic. Language belongs to everyone, so most people feel they have a right to hold an opinion about it. And when opinions differ, emotions can run high. Arguments can start as easily over minor points of usage as over major policies of linguistic education.Language, moreover, is a very public behaviour, so it is easy for different usages to be noted and criticised. No part of society or social behaviour is exempt: linguistic factors influence how we judge personality, intelligence, social status, educational standards, job aptitude, and many other areas of identity and social survival. As a result, it is easy to hurt, and to be hurt, when language use is unfeelingly attacked.In its most general sense, prescriptivism is the view that one variety of language has an inherently higher value than others, and that this ought to be imposed on the whole of the speech community. The view is propounded especially in relation to grammar and vocabulary, and frequently with reference topronunciation. The variety which is favoured, in this account, is usually a version of the ‘standard’ written language, especially as encountered in literature, or in the formal spoken language which most closely reflects this style. Adherents to this variety are said to speak or write ‘correctly’; deviations fr om it are said to be ‘incorrect’.All the main languages have been studied prescriptively, especially in the 18th century approach to the writing of grammars and dictionaries. The aims of these early grammarians were threefold: (a) they wanted to codify the principles of their languages, to show that there was a system beneath the apparent chaos of usage, (b) they wanted a means of settling disputes over usage, and (c) they wanted to point out what they felt to be common errors, in order to ‘improve’ the la nguage. The authoritarian nature of the approach is best characterized by its reliance on ‘rules’ of grammar. Some usages are ‘prescribed’, to be learnt and followed accurately; others are ‘proscribed’, to be avoided. In this early period, there were no half-measures: usage was either right or wrong, and it was the task of the grammarian not simply to record alternatives, but to pronounce judgement upon them.These attitudes are still with us, and they motivate a widespread concern that linguistic standards should be maintained. Nevertheless, there is an alternative point of view that is concerned less with standards than with the facts of linguistic usage. This approach is summarized in the statement that it is the task of the grammarian to describe, not prescribe —to record the facts of linguistic diversity, and not to attempt the impossible tasks of evaluating language variation or halting language change. In the second half of the 18th century, wealready find advocates of this view, such as Joseph Priestley, whose Rudiments of English Grammar (1761) insists that ‘the custom of speaking is the original and only just standard of any language’. Linguistic issue, it is argued, cannot be solved by logic and legislation. And this view has become the tenet of the modern linguistic approach to grammatical analysis.In our own time, the opposition between ‘descriptivists’ and ‘prescriptivists’ has often become extreme, with both sides painting unreal pictures of the other. Descriptive grammarians have been presented as people who do not care about standards, because of the way they see all forms of usage as equally valid. Prescriptive grammarians have been presented as blind adherents to a historical tradition. The opposition has even been presented in quasi-political terms —of radical liberalism vs elitist conservatism.Questions 1-8Do the following statements agree with the claims of the writer in Reading Passage 1?In boxes 1-8 on your answer sheet, writeYES if the statement agrees with the claims of the writerNO if the statement contradicts the claims of the writerNOT GIVEN if it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about this1 There are understandable reasons why arguments occur about language.2 People feel more strongly about language education than about small differences in language usage.3 Our assessment of a person’s intelligence is affected by the way he or she uses language.4 Prescriptive grammar books cost a lot of money to buy inthe 18th century.5 Prescriptivism still exists today.6 According to descriptivists it is pointless to try to stop language change.7 Descriptivism only appeared after the 18th century.8 Both descriptivists and prescriptivists have been misrepresented.Questions 9-12Complete the summary using the list of words, A-I, below.Write the correct letter, A-I, in boxes 9-12 on your answer sheet.The language debateAccording to 9______, there is only one correct form of language.

It is still too early to predict the extent of the impact they may have, but all the signs are that they will play a significant role in the futureA. Operating on the same principle as wind turbines, the power in sea turbines comes from tidal currents which turn blades similar to ships’ propellers, but, unlike wind, the tid es are predictable and the power input is constant. The technology raises the prospect of Britain becoming self-sufficient in renewable energy and drastically reducing its carbon dioxide emissions. If tide, wind and wave power are all developed, Britain would be able to close gas, coal and nuclear power plants and export renewable power to other parts of Europe. Unlike wind power, which Britain originally developed and then abandoned for 20 years allowing the Dutch to make it a major industry, undersea turbines could become a big export earner to island nations such as Japan and New Zealand.B. Tidal sites have already been identified that will produce one sixth or more of the UK’s power —and at prices competitive with modern gas turbines and undercutting those of the already ailing nuclear industry. One site alone, the Pentland Firth, between Orkney and mainland Scotland, could produce 10% of the country’s electricity with banks of turbines under the sea,and another at Alderney in the Channel Islands three times the 1,200 megawatts of Britain’s largest and newest nuclear plant, Sizewell B, in Suffolk. Other sites identified include the Bristol Channel and the west coast of Scotland, particularly the channel between Campbeltown and Northern Ireland.C. Work on designs for the new turbine blades and sites are well advanced at the University of Southampton’s sustainable energy research group. The first station is expected to be installed off Lynmouth in Devon shortly to test the technology in a venture jointly funded by the department of Trade and Industry and the European Union. AbuBakr Bahaj, in charge of the Southampton research, said: ‘The prospects for energy from tidal currents are far better than from wind because the flows of water are predictable and constant. The technology for dealing with the hostile saline environment under the sea has been developed in the North Sea oil industry and much is already known about turbine blade design, because of wind power and ship propellers. There are a few technical difficulties, but I believe in the next five to ten years we will be installing commercial marine turbine farms.’ Southampton has been awarded £215,000 over three years to develop the turbines and is working with Marine Current Turbines, a subsidiary of IT power, on the Lynmouth project. EU research has now identified 106 potential sites for tidal power, 80% round the coasts of Britain. The best sites are between islands or around heavily indented coasts where there are strong tidal currents.D. A marine turbine blade needs to be only one third of the size of wind generator to produce three times as much power. The blades will be about 20 metres in diameter, so around 30 metres of water is required. Unlike wind power, there are unlikelyto be environmental objections. Fish and other creatures are thought unlikely to be at risk from the relatively slow-turning blades. Each turbine will be mounted on a tower which will connect to the national power supply grid via underwater cables. The towers will stick out of the water and be lit, to warn shipping, and also be designed to be lifted out of the water for maintenance and to clean seaweed from the blades.E. Dr Bahaj has done most work on the Alderney site, where there are powerful currents. The single undersea turbine farm would produce far more power than needed for the Channel Islands and most would be fed into the French Grid and be re-imported into Britain via the cable under the Channel.F. One technical difficulty is cavitation, where low pressure behind a turning blade causes air bubbles. These can cause vibration and damage the blades of the turbines. Dr Bahaj said: ‘We have to test a number of blade types to avoid this happening or at least make sure it does not damage the turbines or reduce performance. Another slight concern is submerged debris floating into the blades. So far we do not know how much of a problem it might be. We will have to make the turbines robust because the sea is a hostile environment, but all the signs that we can do it are good.’Questions 14-17Reading Passage 2 has six paragraphs, A-F.Which paragraph contains the following information?Write the correct letter, A-F, in boxes 14-17 on your answer sheet.NB You may use any letter more than once.14 the location of the first test site15 a way of bringing the power produced on one site backinto Britain16 a reference to a previous attempt by Britain to find an alternative source of energy17 mention of the possibility of applying technology from another industryQuestions 18-22Choose FIVE letters, A-J.Write the correct letters in boxes 18-22 on your answer sheet.Which FIVE of the following claims about tidal power are made by the writer?A It is a more reliable source of energy than wind power.B It would replace all other forms of energy in Britain.C Its introduction has come as a result of public pressure.D It would cut down on air pollution.E It could contribute to the closure of many existing power stations in Britain.F It could be a means of increasing national income.G It could face a lot of resistance from other fuel industries.H It could be sold more cheaply than any other type of fuel.I It could compensate for the shortage of inland sites for energy production.J It is best produced in the vicinity of coastlines with particular features.Questions 23-26Label the diagram below.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 23-26 on your answer sheet.An Undersea TurbineREADING PASSAGE 3You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 27-40, which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.Information theory-the big ideaInformation theory lies at the heart of everything —from DVD players and the genetic code of DNA to the physics of the universe at its most fundamental. It has been central to the development of the science of communication, which enables data to be sent electronically and has therefore had a major impact on our livesA. In April 2002 an event took place which demonstrated one of the many applications of information theory. The space probe, Voyager I, launched in 1997, had sent back spectacular images of Jupiter and Saturn and then soared out of the Solar System on a one-way mission to the stars. After 25 years of exposure to the freezing temperatures of deep space, the probe was beginning to show its age. Sensors and circuits were on the brink of failing and NASA experts realized that they had to do something or lose contact with their probe forever. The solution was to get a message to Voyager I to instruct it to use spares to change the failing parts. With the probe 12 billion kilometers from Earth, this was not an easy task. By means of a radio dish belonging to NASA’s Deep Space Network, the message was sent out into the depths of space. Even travelling at the speed of light, it took over 11 hours to reach its target, far beyond the orbit of Pluto. Yet, incredibly, the little probe managed to hear the faint call from its home planet, and successfully made the switchover.B. It was the longest-distance repair job in history, and a triumph for the NASA engineers. But it also highlighted the astonishing power of the techniques developed by American communications engineer Claude Shannon, who had died just ayear earlier. Born in 1916 in Petoskey, Michigan, Shannon showed an early talent for maths and for building gadgets, and made breakthroughs in the foundations of computer technology when still a student. While at Bell Laboratories, Shannon developed information theory, but shunned the resulting acclaim. In the 1940s, he single-handedly created an entire science of communication which has since inveigled its way into a host of applications, from DVDs to satellite communications to bar codes — any area, in short, where data has to be conveyed rapidly yet accurately.C. This all seems light years away from the down-to-earth uses Shannon originally had for his work, which began when he was a 22-year-old graduate engineering student at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1939. He set out with an apparently simple aim: to pin down the precise meaning of the concept of ‘information’. The most basic form of information, Shannon argued, is whether something is true or false —which can be captured in the binary unit, or ‘bit’, of the form 1 or 0. Having identified this fundamental unit, Shannon set about defining otherwise vague ideas about information and how to transmit it from place to place. In the process he discovered something surprising: it is always possible to guarantee information will get through random interference —‘noise’ — intact.D. Noise usually means unwanted sounds which interfere with genuine information. Information theory generalses this idea via theorems that capture the effects of noise with mathematical precision. In particular, Shannon showed that noise sets a limit on the rate at which information can pass along communication channels while remaining error-free. This ratedepends on the relative strengths of the signal and noise travelling down the communication channel, and on its capacity (its ‘bandwidth’). The resulting limit, given in units of bits per second, is the absolute maximum rate of error-free communication given singal strength and noise leve. The trick, Shannon showed, is to find ways of packaging up —‘coding’ — information to cope with the ravages of noise, while staying within the information-carrying capacity —‘bandwidth’ — of the communication system being used.E. Over the years scientists have devised many such coding methods, and they have proved crucial in many technological feats. The Voyager spacecraft transmitted data using codes which added one extra bit for every single bit of information; the result was an error rate of just one bit in 10,000 — and stunningly clear pictures of the planets. Other codes have become part of everyday life — such as the Universal Product Code, or bar code, which uses a simple error-detecting system that ensures supermarket check-out lasers can read the price even on, say, a crumpled bag of crisps. As recently as 1993, engineers made a major breakthrough by discovering so-called turbo codes —which come very close to Shannon’s ultimate limit for the maximum rate that data can be transmitted reliably, and now play a key role in the mobile videophone revolution.F. Shannon also laid the foundations of more efficient ways of storing information, by stripping out superfluous (‘redundant’) bits from data which contributed little real information. As mobile phone text messages like ‘I CN C U’ show, it is often possible to leave out a lot of data without losing much meaning. As with error correction, however, there’s a limit beyond which messages become too ambiguous. Shannonshowed how to calculate this limit, opening the way to the design of compression methods that cram maximum information into the minimum space.Questions 27-32Reading Passage 3 has six paragraphs, A-F.Which paragraph contains the following information?Write the correct letter, A-F, in boxes 27-32 on your answer sheet.27 an explanation of the factors affecting the transmission of information28 an example of how unnecessary information can be omitted29 a reference to Shannon’s attitude to fame30 details of a machine capable of interpreting incomplete information31 a detailed account of an incident involving information theory32 a reference to what Shannon initially intended to achieve in his researchQuestions 33-37Complete the notes below.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS form the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 33-37 on your answer sheet.The Voyager 1 Space ProbeThe probe transmitted pictures of both 33______ and ______, then left the 34 ______.The freezing temperatures were found to have a negative effect on parts of the space probe.Scientists feared that both the 35 ______ and ______ wereabout to stop working.The only hope was to tell the probe to replace them with 36 ______ —but distance made communication with the probe difficult.A 37 ______ was used to transmit the message at the speed of light.The message was picked up by the probe and the switchover took place.Questions 38-40Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passge 3?In boxes 38-40 on your answer sheet, writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this38 The concept of describing something as true or false was the starting point for Shannon in his attempts to send messages over distances.39 The amount of information that can be sent in a given time period is determined with reference to the signal strength and noise level.40 Products have now been developed which can convey more information than Shannon had anticipated as possible.剑桥雅思阅读9原文参考译文(test3)PASSAGE 1 参考译文:对语言的态度对于语言进行系统、客观的研究并不容易。

TEST 3 PASSAGE 2 参考译文:潮汐发电在水下安装涡轮机利用潮汐发电,将成为英国获得可再生能源的一个重要途径。

现在预测潮汐发电可能产生的影响还为时过早,但是种种迹象表明,未来潮汐发电将发挥重要作用。

A和风力涡轮机的运行原理一样,水力涡轮机的动力来自潮流,在潮流的作用下轮机叶片像船只的螺旋桨一样工作。

但是与风不同的是,潮汐是可预测的,而且其输人功率是恒定的。

这项技术为英国可再生能源的自给自足开辟了广阔的前景,同时也大大降低了二氧化碳的排放量。

如果潮汐、风力和海浪发电都能得到开发,那么英国就能关闭天然气、煤炭和核能发电站,并向欧洲其他地区出口可再生能源。

与之前开发风能有所不同一风能由英国首先开发,而后却搁置了20年,最后由荷兰将其发展成一个主要产业,这次通过向日本与新西兰这样的岛国出口水下涡轮机,英国将赚取巨额外汇。

B已经确定选址的潮汐发电站将为英国提供六分之一甚至更多的电力,而且其价格与现代汽轮机发电价格相比更具竞争力,同时可以使已经深陷困境的核工业的核能价格降低。

仅仅是位于奥克尼岛和苏格兰大陆之间的彭特兰湾的一个潮汐发电站,其水下的数排涡轮机就能提供英国所需10%的电量。

另一个位于海峡群岛内奥尔德尼岛的发电站,其装机容量是英国最大、最新核电站装机容量的三倍,而这一位于萨福克郡的赛兹韦尔B核电站的最大装机容量达到1,200兆瓦。

其他已经确定的潮汐发电站选址包括布里斯托尔海峡和苏格兰西海岸,特别是位于坎贝尔敦与北爱尔兰之间的海峡。

C南安普敦大学的可持续能源研究小组在新涡轮机叶片的设计和潮汐发电站的选址方面的工作进行得很顺利。

第一个潮汐发电站预计很快将在德文郡的林茅斯海岸建立,用来检测贸易与工业部和欧盟的一个合资项目研发的技术。

高中化学教学中绿色化学理念的渗透研究摘要】在教育快速发展的今天,很多地方的高中化学教学,都开始转为绿色化学教学的方向,希望由此来更好的培养学生的绿色环保意识,让学生在应用化学知识的过程中,或者是日常生活中,都坚持环保为主,减少各种污染、浪费的现象。

从客观的角度来分析,高中化学教学涉及到的知识点较多,能够为绿色化学理念的渗透,提供较多的帮助。

文章就此展开讨论,并提出合理化建议。

【关键词】高中;化学;绿色;理念;渗透前言:高中化学教学在现阶段的开展中,基本上可以从学生的角度来出发,各个方面的教学任务都按时完成。

但在很长的时间里,教师忽视了绿色化学理念的渗透,这就对学生的将来发展和社会建设造成了较大的影响。

通过在高中化学教学阶段,有效的渗透绿色化学理念,能够为长远的发展提供支持。

一、高中化学教学的特点经过多次的教育改革以后,我国现阶段的高中化学教学,已经形成了较为健全的教学体系,在知识的教育上和能力的把握上,基本上都可以得到健全的成果。

分析认为,高中化学教学的特点主要是集中在以下几个方面:第一,教学内容广泛。

在以往的教学工作中,高中化学的知识点比较固定,每一届的学生都学习到相同的知识,在教材方面的改善也不明显,以至于很多学生对绿色化学理念根本不了解,在日常生活中也没有将化学知识更好的运用。

现如今,化学知识达到了宽泛性的特点,能够深入的联合学生日常生活,在很多方面都达到了“学以致用”的特点,告别了以往的错误教学[1]。

第二,高中化学教学在开展的过程中,会通过灵活的手段来执行,基本上不会局限在传统的灌输式教学上。

现下的很多学生视野比较开阔,同时针对学习的观点存在很大的不同看法,运用多元化的教学手段,能够帮助学生取得更好的进步,减少对思想上的束缚,从而在将来的人才培养上取得更多的帮助。

二、高中化学教学中绿色化学理念的渗透(一)将绿色化学理念渗入课堂教学中在高中阶段,化学知识的教育多半集中在课堂当中,学生需要汲取的知识量比较庞大。

TEST 3 PASSAGE 3 参考译文:信息理论——伟大的构想从根本上说,信息理论是一切事物的中心——从DVD播放器、DNA遗传密码,到宇宙物理学。

一直以来信息理论对通信科学的发展都极为重要,它使数据可以电子化传送,因而也对我们的生活产生了重大影响。

A 2002年4月发生的一件事展现了信息理论的一大应用。

1977年发射的太空探测器“旅行者1号”发回了木星和土星的壮观照片,然后飞出太阳系开始它的单程旅行,飞往其他恒星执行任务。

25年来,“旅行者1 号”始终暴露在寒冷的深空中,它的性能开始逐渐衰退,传感器和电路已经接近崩溃的边缘。

美国宇航局专家意识到他们必须采取措施,否则就会永远和“旅行者1号”失去联系。

为了解决这一问题,他们的方案是给“旅行者1号”发去信息,指导它用备件更换已经出现故障的部件。

考虑到“旅行者1号”距离地球120亿公里之远,这并不是一项简单的任务。

信息最终通过美国宇航局深空网的无线电天线传送到了太空深处。

该信息虽然以光速传播,却还是花了11个小时才到达远在冥王星轨道之外的目标。

然而令人难以置信的是,这颗小小的探测器成功接收到了来自故乡星球微弱的召唤,并顺利地更换了零件。

B这是有史以来最远距离的修理工作,也是美国宇航局工程师的一大成功。

但是,这也突出显示了(信息)技术的惊人力量,这些技术由一年前(注:2001年)刚刚离世的美国通信工程师Claude Shannon研发。

.Claude Shannon于1916年出生于密歇根州的佩托斯基。

他少年时便展示出了在数学与制作小器械方面的天赋,而且在学生时期就在计算机的基础技术上取得了多项突破。

在贝尔实验室时,Shannon发展了信息理论,但他并不看重因此而获得的荣誉。

20世纪40年代,他一手创立了完整的通信科学理论,随后该理论得到了广泛应用,从DVD到卫星通信,再到条形码——总之,需要快速而又准确传送数据的所有领域都应用到了通信科学。

剑桥9 test 3 p1 阅读解析

剑桥9 test 3 p1 阅读解析摘要:1.问题背景及要求2.观点一:兴建运动设施3.观点二:加大宣传力度,推行家庭健身4.观点三:兴建医院,提高医疗服务水平5.综合分析各观点6.提出个人看法正文:随着社会的发展,公共健康问题愈发引起人们的关注。

在这样的背景下,如何提升公共健康成为了一个热门话题。

在剑桥雅思9 test 3的大作文中,作者针对这一问题展开了讨论,其中部分人认为兴建运动设施是最佳途径,而另一部分人则认为还需采取其他措施。

首先,兴建运动设施的确是一个可行的方案。

在我国,许多人都有运动的想法,但却因为家附近没有合适的场地而不得不放弃。

如果政府能够投入资金,在城市中增加运动设施,如篮球场、足球场和健身房等,这将有助于激发大众的运动热情,从而提高公共健康水平。

此外,运动设施的普及还能培养人们的团队精神,促进社会交往,使人们在忙碌的生活中找到放松和乐趣。

然而,仅仅依靠兴建运动设施并不能完全解决公共健康问题。

另一部分人认为,我们需要采取更多元化的手段来提高公共健康。

例如,加大宣传力度,让公众认识到运动的重要性,培养健康的生活习惯。

通过各种媒体渠道,如电视、报纸、网络等,宣传健康知识,促使人们将运动纳入日常生活。

此外,推行家庭健身也是一种实用的方法。

随着科技的发展,家庭健身器材越来越多样化,如跑步机、健身球等。

人们可以在家里进行锻炼,节省时间成本,提高运动效率。

再者,兴建医院和完善医疗服务水平也是提升公共健康的重要途径。

当人们生病时,能够得到及时有效的治疗,有助于恢复健康。

同时,通过定期体检和关注身体状况,可以预防潜在的健康问题。

因此,在增加运动设施的基础上,我们还应关注医疗服务的质量,为公众提供更好的就医环境。

综合以上观点,我们可以发现,提升公共健康需要多管齐下。

兴建运动设施、加大宣传力度、推行家庭健身和提高医疗服务水平等措施均有助于提高公共健康水平。

然而,在实际操作中,我们还需根据各地区的情况和人群需求,制定有针对性的政策。

Passage1Question 1答案: FALSE关键词: Michael Faraday the first person定位原文: 第2段第2句“His talent and devotion…”他的老师Thomas Hall发现了他在化学方面的天赋与热忱,鼓励其参加皇家学院著名科学家Michael Faraday的一系列讲座。

解题思路: 从这句话很容易看出,Thomas Hall是文中提到的第一个发现Perkin化学天赋的人,尽管文中没有用到the first person这样的确切说法,但是看完第二段就不难发现,这点的确是对的。

因此,题中的说法与文中的事实相反。

Question 2答案: NOT GIVEN关键词: Michael Faraday, Royal College of Chemistry,suggested定位原文:第2段第3句“Those speeches fired…” Faraday的讲座进一步激发了这位年轻化学家的热情,在1853年,15岁的Perkin成功进入皇家化学学院学习。

解题思路:这句话仅仅告诉我们,Perkin是在听了Faraday的讲座后,对化学的激情更加澎湃,进而考上了皇家化学学院,而并没有提到Faraday与Perkin进行直接接触或沟通,所以题目是对文章中出现的人和事的过分解读。

Question 3答案: FALSE关键词: employed, assistant,August Wilhelm Hofmann定位原文:第3段第1、2句“At the time of Perkin’s enrolment, the…”在Perkin入学时,皇家化学学院的院长正是著名的德国化学家August Wilhelm Hofmann。

Perkin的科学天赋很快引起了Hofmann 的注意,不到两年他就成了Hofmann最年轻的助理。

解题思路:从这两句话中可以清晰地看出Perkin和Hofmann之间的关系,前者是后者最年轻的助理,题目的说法和文中的陈述是直接抵触的。

Popular linguistic debate regularly deteriorates into invective and polemic. Language belongs to everyone, so most people feel they have a right to hold an opinion about it. And when opinions differ, emotions can run high. Arguments can start as easily over minor points of usage as over major policies of linguistic education.Language, moreover, is a very public behaviour, so it is easy for different usages to be noted and criticized. No part of society or social behaviour is exempt: linguistic factors influence how we judge personality, intelligence, social status, educational standards, job aptitude, and many other areas of identity and social survival. As a result, it is easy to hurt, and to be hurt, when language use is unfeelingly attacked.In its most general sense, prescriptivism is the view that one variety of language has an inherently higher value than others, and that this ought to be imposed on the whole of the speech community. The view is propounded especially in relation to grammar and vocabulary, and frequently with reference to pronunciation. The variety which is favoured, in this account, is usually a version o f the ‘standard’ written language, especially as encountered in literature, or in the formal spoken language which most closely reflects this style. Adherents to this variety are said to speak or write ‘correctly’; deviations from it are said to be ‘incorrect’.All the main languages have been studied prescriptively, especially in the 18th century approach to the writing of grammars and dictionaries. The aims of these early grammarians were threefold: (a) they wanted to codify the principles of their languages, to show that there was a system beneath the apparent chaos of usage, (b) they wanted a means of settling disputes over usage, and (c) they wanted to point out what they felt to be common errors, in order to ‘improve’ the language. The authoritarian na ture of the approach is best characterized by its reliance on ‘rules’ of grammar. Some usages are ‘prescribed’, to be learnt and followed accurately; others are‘proscribed’, to be avoided. In this early period, there were nohalf-measures: usage was either right or wrong, and it was the task of the grammarian not simply to record alternatives, but to pronounce judgement upon them.These attitudes are still with us, and they motivate a widespread concern that linguistic standards should be maintained. Nevertheless, there is an alternative point of view that is concerned less with standards than with the facts of linguistic usage. This approach is summarized in the statement that it is the task of the grammarian to describe, not prescribe-to record the facts of linguistic diversity, and not to attempt the impossible tasks of evaluating language variation or halting language change. In the second half of the 18th century, we already find advocates of this view, such as Joseph Priestley, whose Rudiments of English Grammar (1761) insists that ‘the custom of speaking is the original and only just standard of any language’. Linguistic issue, it is argued, cannot be solved by logic and legislation. And this view has become the tenet of the modern linguistic approach to grammatical analysis.In our own time, the opposition between ‘descriptivists’ and‘prescriptivists’ has often become extreme, with both sides painting unreal pictures of the other. Descriptive grammarians have been presented as people who do not care about standards, because of the way they see all forms of usage as equally valid. Prescriptive grammarians have been presented as blind adherents to a historical tradition. The opposition has even been presented in quasi-political terms —of radical liberalism vs elitist conservatism.Questions 1-8Do the following statements agree with the claims of the writer in Reading Passage 1?In boxes 1-8 on your answer sheet, writeYES if the statement agrees with the claims of the writer NO if the statement contradicts the claims of the writer NOT GIVEN if it is impossible to say what the writer thinks about this1 There are understandable reasons why arguments occur about language.2 People feel more strongly about language education than about smalldifferences in language usage.3 Our assessment of a person’s intelligence is affected by the way he orshe uses language.4 Prescriptive grammar books cost a lot of money to buy in the 18th century.5 Prescriptivism still exists today.6 According to descriptivists it is pointless to try to stop language change.7 Descriptivism only appeared after the 18th century.8 Both descriptivists and prescriptivists have been misrepresented.

It is still too early to predict the extent of the impact they may have, but all the signs are that they will play a significant role in the futureA.Operating on the same principle as wind turbines, the power in seaturbines comes from tidal currents which turn blades similar to ships’ propellers, but, unlike wind, the tides are predictable and the power input is constant. The technology raises the PROSPECT of Britainbecoming self-sufficient in renewable energy and drastically reducing its carbon dioxide emissions. If tide, wind and wave power are alldeveloped, Britain would be able to close gas, coal and nuclear power plants and export renewable power to other parts of Europe. Unlike wind power, which Britain originally developed and then abandoned for20 years allowing the Dutch to make it a major industry, underseaturbines could become a big export earner to island nations such as Japan and New Zealand.B.Tidal sites have already been identified that will produce one sixth ormore of the UK’s power-and at prices competitive with modern gasturbines and undercutting those of the already ailing nuclear industry.One site alone, the Pentland Firth, between Orkney and mainlandScotland, could produce 10% of the country’s electricity with banks of turbines under the sea, and another at Alderney in the Channel Islands three times the 1,200 megawatts of Britain’s largest and newestnuclear plant, Sizewell B, in Suffolk. Other sites identified include the Bristol Channel and the west coast of Scotland, particularly the channel between Campbeltown and Northern Ireland.C.Work on designs for the new turbine blades and sites are will advanceat the University of Southampton’s sustainable energy research group.The first station is expected to be installed off Lynmouth in Devonshortly to test the technology in a venture jointly funded by thedepartment of Trade and Industry and the European Union. AbuBakr Bahaj, in charge of the Southampton research, said: ‘The prospects for energy from tidal currents are far better than from wind because theflows of water are predictable and constant. The technology for dealing with the hostile saline environment under the sea has been developed in the North Sea oil industry and much is already known about turbine blade design, because of wind power and ship propellers. There are a few technical difficulties, but I believe in the next five to ten years we will be installing commercial marine turbine farms.’Southampton has been awarded £215,000 over three years to develop the turbines and is working with Marine Current Turbines, a subsidiary of IT power, on the Lynmouth project. EU research has now identified 106 potential sites for tidal power, 80% round the coasts of Britain. The best sites are between islands or around heavily indented coasts where there arestrong tidal currents.D. A marine turbine blade needs to be only one third of the size of windgenerator to produce three times as much power. The blades will be about 20 metres in diameter, so around 30 metres of water is required.Unlike wind power, there are unlikely to be environmental objections.Fish and other creatures are though unlikely to be at risk from therelatively slow-turning blades. Each turbine will be mounted on a tower which will connect to the national power supply grid via underwater cables. The towers will stick out of the water and be lit, to warnshipping, and also be designed to be lifted out of the water formaintenance and to clean seaweed from the blades.E.Dr Bahaj has done most work on the Alderney site, where there arepowerful currents. The single undersea turbine farm would produce far more power than needed for the Channel Islands and most would be fed into the French Grid and be re-imported into Britain via the cable under the Channel.F.One technical difficulty is cavitation, where low pressure behind aturning blade causes air bubbles. These can cause vibration anddamage the blades of the turbines. Dr Bahaj said: ‘We have to test a number of blade types to avoid this happening or at least make sure it does not damage the turbines or reduce performance. Another slight concern is submerged debris floating into the blades. So far we do not know how much of a problem it might be. We will have to make the turbines robust because the sea is a hostile environment, but all the signs that we can do it are good.’Questions 14-17Reading Passage 2 has six paragraphs, A-F.Which paragraph contains the following information?Write the correct letter, A-F, in boxes 14-17 on your answer sheet.NB You may use any letter more than once.14 the location of the first test site15 a way of bringing the power produced on one site back into Britain16 a reference to a previous attempt by Britain to find an alternativesource of energy17 mention of the possibility of applying technology from another industryQuestions 18-22Choose FIVE letters, A-J.Write the correct letters in boxes 18-22 on your answer sheet.Which FIVE of the following claims about tidal power are made by the writer?A It is a more reliable source of energy than wind power.B It would replace all other forms of energy in Britain.C Its introduction has come as a result of public pressure.D It would cut down on air pollution.E It could contribute to the closure of many existing power stations in Britain.F It could be a means of increasing national income.G It could face a lot of resistance from other fuel industries.H It could be sold more cheaply than any other type of fuel.I It could compensate for the shortage of inland sites for energy production.J It is best produced in the vicinity of coastlines with particular features.Questions 23-26Label the diagram below.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer. Write your answers in boxes 23-26 on your answer sheet.An Undersea TurbineWhole tower can be raised for 23 ______ and the extraction of seaweed from the bladesSea life not in danger due to the fact that blades are comparatively 24______Air bubbles result from the 25 ______ behind blades. This is known as 26 ______READING PASSAGE 3You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 27-40, which are based on Reading Passage 3 below.Information theory-the big ideaInformation theory lies at the heart of everything-from DVD players and the genetic code of DNA to the physics of the universe at its most fundamental. It has been central to the development of the science of communication, which enables data to be sent electronically and has therefore had a major impact on our livesA.In April 2002 an event took place which demonstrated one of the manyapplications of information theory. The space probe, Voyager I,Launched in 1997, had sent back spectacular images of Jupiter andSaturn and then soared out of the Solar System on a one-way mission to the stars. After 25 years of exposure to the freezing temperatures of deep space, the probe was beginning to show its age. Sensors andcircuits were on the brink of failing and NASA expers realized that they had to do something or lose contact with their probe forever. Thesolution was to get a message to Voyager I to instruct it to use spares to change the failing parts. With the probe 12 billion kilometers from Earth, this was not an easy task. By means of a radio dish belonging to NASA’s Deep Space Network, the message was sent out in to the depthsof space. Even travelling at the speed of light, it took over 11 hours to reach its target, far beyond the orbit of Pluto. Yet, incredibly, the little probe managed to hear the faint call from its home planet, andsuccessfully made the switchover.B.It was the longest-distance repair job in history, and a triumph for theNASA engineers. But it also highlighted the astonishing power of the techniqu4es developed by American communications engineer Claude Shannon, who had died just a year earlier. Born in 1916 in Petoskey, Michigan, Shannon showed an early talent for maths and for building gadgets, and made breakthroughs in the foundations of computertechnology when still a student. While at Bell Laboratories, Shannon developed information theory, but shunned the resulting acclaim. In the 1940s, he single-handedly created an entire science ofcommunication which has since inveigled its way into a host ofapplications, from DVDs to satellite communications to bar codes-any area, in short, where data has to be conveyed rapidly yet accurately. C.This all seems light years away from the down-to-earth uses Shannonoriginally had for his work, which began when he was a 22-year-old graduate engineering student at the prestigious MassachusettsInstitute of Technology in 1939. He set out with an apparently simple aim: to pin down the precise meaning of the concept of ‘information’.The most basic form of information, Shannon argued, is whethersomething is true of false —which can be captured in the binary unit, or ‘bit’, of the form 1 or 0. Having identified this fundamental unit,Shannon set about defining otherwise vague ideas about information and how to transmit it from place to place. In the process he discovered something surprising: it is always possible to guarantee information will get through random interference —‘noise’—intact.D.Noise usually means unwanted sounds which interfere with genuineinformation. Information theory generalizes this idea via theorems that capture the effects of noise with mathematical precision. In particular, Shannon showed that noise sets a limit on the rate at which information can pass along communication channels while remaining error-free.This rate depends on the relative strengths of the signal and noisetravelling down the communication channel, and on its capacity (its ‘bandwidth’). The resulting limit, given in units of bits per second, is the absolute maximum rate of error-free communication given singalstrength and noise leve. The trick, Shannon showed, is to find ways of packaging up —‘coding’—information to cope with the ravages of noise, while staying within the information-carrying capacity —‘bandwidth’—of the communication system being used.E.Over the years scientists have devised many such coding methods, andthey have proved crucial in many technological feat. The Voyagerspacecraft transmitted data using codes which added one extra bit for every single bit of information; the result was an error rate of just one bit in 10,000-and stunningly clear pictures of the planets. Other codes have become part of everyday life-such as the Universal Product Code,or bar code, which uses a simple error-detecting system that ensures supermarket check-out lasers can read the price even on, say, acrumpled bag of crisps. As recently as 1993, engineers made a major breakthrough by discovering so-called turbo codes-which come very close to Shannon’s ultimate limit for the maximum rate that data can be transmitted reliable, and now play a key role in the mobile videophone revolution.F.Shannon also laid the foundations of more efficient ways of storinginformation, by stripping out superfluous (‘redundant’) bits from data which contributed little real information. As mobile phone textmessages like ‘I CN C U’ show, it is often possible to leave out a lot of data without losing much meaning. As with error correcting, however, there’s a limit beyond which messages become too ambiguous.Shannon showed how to calculate this limit, opening the way to the design of compression methods that cram maximum information into the minimum space.Questions 27-32Reading Passage 3 has six paragraphs, A-F.Which paragraph contains the following information?Write the correct letter, A-F, in boxes 27-32 on your answer sheet.27 an explanation of the factors affecting the transmission of information28 an example of how unnecessary information can be omitted29 a reference to Shannon’s attitude to fame30 details of a machine capable of interpreting incomplete information31 a detailed account of an incident involving information theory32 a reference to what Shannon initially intended to achieve in his researchQuestions 33-37Complete the notes below.Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS form the passage for each answer.

Passage 1Question 1答案: YES关键词: reasons, arguments occur定位原文: 第1段第2、3句“Popular linguistic debate... ”语言学上的普通争论通常会升级为谩骂和论战。

语言属于所有人,所以大多数人认为他们有权保留自己对语言的看法。

解题思路: 题干要判断对于语言的争论,原因是否可以理解。

原文陈述,语言属于所有人,大多数人有权保留对语言的看法,所以人们的观点会产生分歧是可以理解的。

题干与原文完全一致。

Question 2答案: NO关键词: language education, language usage定位原文:第1段第4句“And when opinions differ,…”而当看法出现分歧时,人们可能变得情绪激动。

语言用法方面的一点小事,就能像语言学教育政策中的重大问题一样很容易引起争论。

解题思路:题干要判断人们对待语言教育的态度是否比对待语言用法的态度更加强烈。

原文陈述,语言用法方面的一点小事都能像语言学教育政策中的大事一样引起争论,这说明对待语言用法与语言学教育政策的态度同样强烈。

题干与原文所述观点不一致。

Question 3答案: YES关键词: intelligence, affect定位原文:第2段第2句“No part of society or social…”所有社会组成部分或者社会行为无一例外。

语言因素影响我们如何判断一个人的个性、智力、社会地位、教育程度、工作能力以及许多身份与社会生存的其他方面。

解题思路:题干要判断使用语言的方式是否会影响人们对一个人智力的评估。

原文陈述,语言因素影响我们如何判断一个人的个性、智力……题干与原文完全一致。

Question 4答案: NOT GIVEN关键词: prescriptive, 18th century对应原文:第4段第1句“All the main languages…”解题思路:对所有主要语言的研究都是约定俗成的,尤其在18世纪对语法与词典的编写过程中。

用定位词定位到的这句话中没有提到书的价格髙低与否。

Question 5答案: YES关键词: prescriptivism, today定位原文:第5段第1句“These attitudes are still with…”这些态度现在仍然伴随着我们,并且引起人们对保留语言标准的广泛关注。

解题思路:题干要判断现在规定主义是否仍然存在。

原文陈述,这些态度现在仍然伴随着我们,题干与原文完全一致。

Question 6答案: YES关键词: descriptivists, language change, pointless, stop定位原文: 第5段第3句“This approach is summarized in…”该观点可以总结为:语法家的任务是描述而不是规定,是记录语言多样性的实例而不是试图完成评价语言的差异或阻止语言的改变这种不可能完成的任务。

解题思路:题干要判断对于描述派来说,阻止语言变化是否毫无意义。

原文陈述,语法家的任务……不是阻止语言的改变这种不可能完成的任务。

题干中阻止语言变化毫无意义=语法家的任务并非阻止语言改变这种不可能完成的任务。

题干与原文完全一致。

Question 7答案: NO关键词: after the 18th century, only定位原文:第5段第4句“In the second half of the 18th century,…”在18世纪后半期,我们已经发现了该观点的支持者,比如Joseph Priestley, 他在1761年编写的《英语语法入门》中坚持认为,“说话的习惯是最原始的、也是所有语言的唯一标准”。

解题思路:题干中出现ONLY, 所以主要判断描述主义是否只有到18世纪后才出。

原文陈述,18世纪后半期,我们已经发现了该观点的支持者,那就意味着在这个时间以前,已经有了描述主义的观点。

题干与原文陈述的时间有出入,不一致。

Question 8答案: YES关键词: descriptivists, prescriptivists定位原文: 第6段第1句“In our own time, the opposition…”在我们这个时代,“描述派”与“规定派”之间的对立经常变得很极端,双方经常互相误解。

解题思路: 题干要判断针对这两派的描述是否有失真实。

原文陈述,“描述派”与“规定派”之间的对立经常变得很极端,双方经常互相误解。

题干与原文完全一致。

Question 9答案: H关键词: correct form of language定位原文: 第3段第1句“In its most general…”;第3段最后一句“Adherents to…”就其最普通的意义而言,规定主义认为某种语言向来就比其他语言具有更高的价值……该语言的支持者其说话或者写作的方法被称为“正确的”方法,而任何偏差都被认为是“错误的”。

解题思路:原文中陈述,规定主义认为某种语言的说话或写作方法只有一种“正确的”方法,那么持这种看法的人就是规定派、规定主义者,把 prescriptivists带入空格中,解释为:根据规定主义者,语言只有一种正确的形式。

因此选H。

Question 10答案: F关键词: approach, grammatical定位原文:第4段第3句“The authoritarian nature of…”该方法对语法“规则”的依赖最能体现出其独裁的本质。

解题思路: 推崇规定主义的语言学家非常强调语法规则。

因此选 F。

Question 11答案: A关键词: Joseph Priestley定位原文: 第5段第4句“In the second half of the 18th century,…”解题思路: 在18世纪后半期,我们已经发现了该观点的支持者,比如Joseph Priestley。

由此往前找,找到这句This approach is summarised in the statement that it is the task of the grammarian to describe, not prescribe--to record the facts of linguistic diversity, and not to attempt theimpossible tasks of evaluating language variation or halting language change.该观点可以总结为:语法家的任务是描述而不是规定,是记录语言多样性的实例而不是试图完成评价语言的差异或阻止语言的改变这样不可能完成的任务。

说明Joseph Priestley是描述主义者的代表。

因此选A。

Question 12答案: C关键词: Joseph Priestley, grammar定位原文:同上一题,比如Joseph Priestley,他在 1761 年编写的《英语语法入门》中坚持认为,“说话的习惯是最原始的、也是所有语言的唯一标准”。

解题思路: the custom of speaking = C popular speech, 即认为语法应该建立在通俗语言的基础上。

因此选C。

Question 13答案: B关键词: writer’s purpose定位原文:全篇主旨题,详见参见解题思路解题思路:选项A:争论的是编写词典和语法书具体的方式,原文中没有论述,只有第四段提到了grammars and dictionaries, 但不是作者的意图;选项C:描述口语和书面语的区别,这与原文也没有直接关系。

不过在第三段看到选项中的spoken language, 陈述如下:“The variety which is favoured, is…style.”这里提到的具有更高价值的语言通常指的是“标准”书面语言,尤其是在文学作品或最能体现这一特点的正式口语中。

这里提到的是细节,并不是意图。

因此只剩下在选项B、D中推敲。

选项D:展现对于语言的某种看法是饱受怀疑的,这不是通篇陈述的内容,构不成作者的写作意图。

所以按排除法选出选项B:通过历史实例展示关于语言的不同观点。

Passage 2Question 14答案: C关键词: first test site定位原文: C段第2句“The first station is…”第一个潮汐发电站预计很快将在德文郡的林茅斯海岸建立,用来检测贸易与工业部和欧盟的一个合资项目研发的技术。

解题思路: 题干中的first test两个词都直接对应这句话中的first...test; 而题干中的site对应原文的 Lynmouth in Devon, 表示测试站的地点。

Question 15答案: E关键词: back into Britain定位原文: E段第2句“The single undersea turbine farm…”解题思路: 仅仅这一个水下涡轮机群的发电量就远比海峡群岛所需要的电量还要多,其中大部分电量将运输到法国电网,然后通过水下电缆重新进入英国。

题干中的back into Britain对应原文中的...bere-imported into Britain via the…Question 16答案: A关键词: previous, alternative source of energy定位原文: A段最后一句“Unlike wind power which Britain…”与之前开发风能有所不同,风能由英国首先开发,而后却搁置了20年,最后由荷兰将其发展成一个主要产业,这次通过向日本与新西兰这样的岛国出口水下涡轮机,英国将赚取巨额外汇。

解题思路: 题干中的previous对应这句话中的Unlike...0riginany, 为了突出这次潮汐发电的前景,这句话提到了之前英国对风能进行尝试开发,但却半途而废,被荷兰发展壮大。
