Answerthe questions beloweach passage by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Passage OnePrior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to livein relative isolation,a key factorin language maintenance andpreservation.It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and cultural diversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it :population growth, whichpushes migrant populations into the world s last isolated locations ; mass tourism; globaltelecommunications and mass media; and the spread of gigantic global corporations. All of these forces appear to signifya futurein whichthe language ofadvertising, popular culture,and consumer products become similar. Already English and a few other major tongues have emergedas global languages of commerce and communication. For many of the world s peoples, learningone of these languages is viewed as the key to education, economic opportunity, and a better way of life.Only about 3,000 languages now in use are expected to survive the coming century. Are欢迎下载精品学习资源most of the rest doomed in the century after that.Whether most of these languages survive will probably depend on how strongly cultural groups wish to keep their identityalive through a native language. To do so willrequire an emphasis on bilingualism ( mastery of two languages ) . Bilingual speakers could use their ownlanguage in smaller spheres-at home, among friends, in community settings-and a globallanguage at work, in dealings with government, and in commercial spheres. In this way, many small languages could sustain their cultural and linguistic integrity alongside global languages, rather than yield to the homogenizing (同化的) forces of globalization.Ironically, the trend of technological innovation that has threatened minority languages could also help save them. For example, some experts predict that computer software translation tools willone day permit minoritylanguage speakers to browse the Internet using their native tongues. Linguistsare currentlyusing computer aided learningtools toteach a varietyofthreatened languages.For many endangered languages, the line between revival and death is extremely thin.Language is remarkably resilient (有活力的) ,however. It is not just a tool for communicating, but also a powerful way of separating different groups, or of demonstrating group identity. Many indigenous (原生的,土著的) communities have shown that it is possible to live in the modern world while reclaiming their unique identities through language.41. Minority languages can be best preserved in. A an increasingly interconnected worldB. maintaining small numbers of speakersC. relatively isolated language communities D following the tradition of the 20th century42. According to Paragraph 2, that the world can maintain its linguistic diversity in the future is.A uncertainB unrealisticC foreseeableD definite 43.According to the author, bilingualism can help.A small languages become acceptable in work places B homogenize the world s languages and culturesC global languages reach home and community settings欢迎下载精品学习资源D speakers maintain their linguistic and cultural identity44. Computertechnologyishelpfulforpreservingminoritylanguagesinthat it.A makes learning a global language unnecessary B facilitates the learning and using of those languagesC raises public awareness of saving those languages D makes it easier for linguists to study those languages45. In the author s view, many endangered languages are. A remarkably well-kept in this modern worldB. exceptionally powerful tools of communicationC. quite possible to be revived instead of dying outD. a unique way of bringing different groups together Passage TwoEveryone, it seems, has a health problem ;After pouring billions into the National Health Service, British people moan about dirty hospitals, long waits and wasted money. In Germany the new chancellor, Angela Merkel, is under fire for suggesting changing the financingof its health system. Canada s new CeonPsriemrveaMtivinister, Stephen Harper, made a big fussduring the election about reducing the country s lengthy medical queues. Across the rich world, affluence, ageing and advancing technology are driving up health spending faster than income.But nowhere has a bigger health problem than America. Soaring medical billsare squeezing wages, swelling the ranks of the uninsured and pushing huge firms and perhaps eventhe government towards bankruptcy. Ford s announcement this week that it would cut up to30.000 jobs by 2021 was as much a sign of it s“legacy ” health care costs as of the ills of the car industry. Pushed by polls that show health care is one of his main domestic problems andby forecasts showing that the retiringbaby-boomers 生育高峰期诞生的人 willcrush the government s finances, George Bush is to unveil a reform;plan in next week s state-of theunion address.America s health system is unlike any other. The Unite States spends 16% of its GDP on health, around twice the rich-country average, equivalent to $6,280 for every American each欢迎下载精品学习资源year. Yet it is the only rich country that does not guarantee universal health coverage. Thanks to an accident of history, most Americans receive health insurance through their employer, with the government picking up the bill for the poor and the elderly.This curious hybrid (混合物) certainly has its strengths. Americans have more choice than anybody else, and their health-care system is much more innovative. Europeans bills could be much higher if American medicine were not doing much of their Research and Development(R&D )for them. But there are also huge weaknesses. The one most often cited especially byforeigners is the army of uninsured. Some 46 millionAmericans do not have cover. In many cases that is out of choice and ,if they fall seriously ill, hospitals have to treat them. But it is still deeply unequal. And there are also shocking inefficiencies: by some measures,30% of American health spending is wasted.Then there is the question of state support. Many Americans disapprove of the “socialized medicine” of Canada and Europe. In fact, even if much of the administration is done privately, around 60% of America s heath-care bill ends up being met by the government.Proportionately, the American state already spends as much on health as the OECD ( Organizationof Economic Cooperation and Development) average, and that share is set to grow as the baby- boomers run up theirMedicare billsand ever more employers avoidprovidinghealth-carecoverage. America is , in effect, heading towards a version of socialized medicine by default.46. Healthproblemsmentionedinthepassageincludeallthefollowing EXCEPT.A. poor hospital conditions in U.K.B.
