People from Great Britain brought the English language to North America in the 16th and 17th centuries. And in the 35 300 years, there were 36 many changes in both places that now people can 37 tell whether the speaker is English or American by the way he or she talks.
Over the last three centuries the English language 38 thousands of new words for things that weren’t 39 before. And often, American and English people used two 40 names for them. A tin can (洋铁罐头) is called “tin” for short in England, but a “can” in America. The word “radio” is 41 all over the world, including America. But many English people call it a “wireless.” And almost anything having something to do with cars, railways, etc. 42 different names in British and American English.
But now American and British English may be growing closer together. One reason is the
large number of American speech that British people hear daily in movies, on television, or 43 travelers. Because of this, Americans seem to affect the British more and more. So some day, English may even be 44 on both sides of the Atlantic(大西洋).

（本大题共26分，每小题2分）
A
Last summer, 15-year-old Bob had a problem. Like a lot of children. Bob was interested in doing many things. He liked dancing most and wanted to join a dancing group. But Bob’s high school didn’t have a boys’ dancing group but a girls’ group. He tried to join the girls’ group. And he made it.
Bob was very angry about it, so he went to a judge（法官）. The judge said it was not a right decision and told the school to let Bob go back to the dancing group.
45. It was difficult for Bob to join the school dancing group because _______.
A. the school only had a girls’ dancing group B. the school didn’t allow boys to dance C. the group had enough dancers already D. he was not a good dancer
46. The school worried that ______ if Bob stayed in the group.
A. nobody would watch their dance B. other boys would join and the girls might leave
C. other schools might laugh at them D. the parents would be angry about it
47. We can infer（推断）that Bob felt _______ when he went back to the group.
A. interested B. sad C. happy D. jealous
B
Have successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any “secrets” to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama’s “back to school” speech. Here
is an excerpt(摘录) from his speech.
I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping (饶舌音乐) or basketball or being a TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things.
But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right this minute. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try.
That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career . But he once said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures beat you—you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.
No one’s born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit(承认) when you don’t know something, and to learn something new.
And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged (泄气), and you feel like other people have given up on you—don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.
48. Why does Barack Obama mention JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the fourth paragraph?
A. To compare (比较) these two famous persons.
B. To explain that writing and sports are difficult skills.
C. To show that the two persons were treated unfairly.
D. To prove that failure is the mother of success.
49. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. No one can be successful without working hard.
B. Failure can be good if you treat it in a right way.
C. Those who believe in themselves shouldn’t ask others for help.
D. One should try his best to make his dream come true.
50. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?
A. One should change his mind when others give honest advice to him.
B. One should believe in himself no matter what difficulty he is faced with.
C. One doesn’t have to work hard when he has failed several times.
D. One doesn’t have to take others’ advice when they get away from him.
C
The Golden Gate Bridge joins the beautiful city of San Francisco with suburbs(郊区) to the
north. Each day, about one hundred thousand cars cross the bridge, taking people to and from the city. More than half of them cross the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours, as a result, the trip is not pleasant.
Now, however, there is at least one group of happy commuters(经常往返者). These are the people who travel under the bridge instead of on it. They go to work by boat and enjoy it so much that most of them say they will never go by car again.
The boat they take is the large, quiet, comfortable “Golden Gate”. Commuters can enjoy the sun on the boat. In the morning they can have breakfast in the coffee shop, and in the evening they can have a drink in the bar while they are looking at San Francisco’s famous scene and the nearby hills.
The trip only takes thirty minutes and is not expensive. But best of all, being on a boat seems to make people feel more friendly towards each other. Two commuters who met on the “Golden Gate” have already got married.
Because the boat had been so successful, there are plans to use other, still larger boats. There is also a plan for a high-speed boat that will make the trip in only fifteen minutes. Not everyone is happy about that. “A lot of people don’t want to get the trip faster,” said one commuter, “They feel that an hour is just enough to rest.”
51. Crossing the Golden Gate Bridge by car is not pleasant because _____.
A. it takes people 30 minutes
B. the Golden Gate Bridge is very long
C. the bridge is crowded with bikes, cars, buses and trucks all the time
D. most of the car owners can not enjoy the beauty of San Francisco
52. In the future, _____.
A. larger boats will be used to carry commutes
B. a big coffee shop will be built
C. more and more people will get married on the boat
D. people will all go to work by boat
53. Many people don’t like the new idea for a high-speed boat because _____.
A. they don’t want to go to work earlier B. they like to stay on the boat
C. there will be more people on the boat D. they won’t have enough time to rest
D
It was my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered what kinds of questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers, “I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven’t lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It’s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.
No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all.
My teacher was called Mr Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn’t stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens. First he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said, “Timbuktu.” Mr Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said, “Portsmouth.” And everyone looked at me because Mr Jones said I was right. This didn’t make me very popular, of course.
“He thinks he’s clever,” I heard Brian say.
After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian’s team, and he clearly had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.
“He’s big enough and useless enough,” Brian said to his friends.
I suppose Mr Jones remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave our team a penalty（惩罚）. As the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right, I threw myself down and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My knees were hurt, bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.
“Do you want to join my team?” he said.
At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.
54．The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT “________”.
A. How old are you? B. where are you from?
C. Do you want to join my team? D. When did you come back to London?
55．We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. boys were usually unfriendly to new students
B. the writer was not greeted as he expected
C. Brian was the best football player on the team
D. the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper
56．The underlined sentence in paragraph 1shows that the writer was ________.
A. confident B. afraid C. satisfied D. thoughtful
57．The writer was offered a handkerchief because ________.
A. he threw himself down and saved the goal B. he pushed a player on the other team
C. he was beginning to be accepted D. he was no longer a new stranger

听第一篇短文，回答第13至15小题。
Things are different in different countries. If you go to Britain, it is a good idea to ask people there about good manners. First of all, you should never talk about two things: money and age. You should never ask others how much they are paid for their work. One safe subject to talk about is the weather. People in Britain are quite glad to talk about weather. And some people like to hear good words about their dogs or cats.
When a man is walking into a room with a woman, he should always hold the door open for her, and let her go through first. When a man is walking along the road with a lady, he should always walk near the traffic. And, of course, you should, again, never ask a woman’s age. As Oscar Wilde, the famous writer, once said, “A woman who tells you her age will tell you anything.”
