Americans began to change the sound of their speech after the Revolutionary War in1776. They wanted to make it different to separate themselves from the British in language, in the same way they separated themselves from the British government. Some American leaders proposed(建议) major changes in the language. Benjamin Franklin wanted a whole new system of spelling. His reforms(改革) were not accepted. But his ideas did influence others. One was Noah Webster. Webster wrote language books for schools. He believed the United States should have a system of its own language as well as government. Webster published a dictionary of the American language in 1828. It established rules for speaking and spelling the words used in American English. Webster wrote that all words should be said in the order of the letters that spell them. This is why Americans use the letters “e-r to end many words instead of the British “r-e. He spelled the word “center, for example, “c-e-n-t-e-r, instead of the British “c-e-n-t-r-e. Websters rule for saying every part of a word made American English easier for foreign settlers to learn. They learned to say “waist-coat, for example, the way it is spelled instead of the British “wes-kit. The different languages of many people who came to the United States also helped make American and British English different. Many of their foreign words and expressions became part of English As Americans speak them. Sometimes Americans and British people do not understand each other because of different word meanings. For example, the word “jumper in Britain means a sweater. In the United States, it is a dress. The British word “brolly is an “umbrella in America. And the British call potato chips “crisps. All of these differences led British writer George Bernard Shaw to joke that Britain and America are two countries separated by the same language!24. What does the underlined word “it in the first paragraph refer to?A. Separating themselves from the British in language. B. Written English in America.C. Spoken English in America. D.

Because they found British English hard to spell.C. Because they wanted to have their own language and government.D. Because foreign settlers wanted them to change their language.26. Why do Americans use the word “meter instead of the word “metre?A. Because Benjamin Franklin didnt like the word “metre.B. Because the word “meter was absorbed from other languages.C. Because Webster thought the word should be said in order of the letters that are spelt.D. Because Webster thought American English should be made easier for foreign settlers to learn.27. Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons why English began to change in America?A. The government leaders. B. Noah Webster.C. Immigration to America. D. The difficulty Americans had in understanding the British.CMany of us have read stories or seen films about space creatures(生物). They come to the Earth in spaceships that look like flying saucers. These spacecreatures do not look like human beings at all，but they are usually very intelligent(聪明)In one film，they were tiny little men with large heads. When they landed on the Earth，they knew exactly what to do. They went straight to the President's palace and made him their prisoner!The stories about space creatures are, of course, not true. Spacecreatures exist only in story books and films，just like giants and fairies. But many scientists are asking this question“Is there life on other planets？There are millions of planets in the universe，and the Earth is just one of them. Could there be living things on other planets? Many people believe that the other planets in the universe are most suitable for living things.Are scientists sure that there is no life on other planets?At this stage we still cannot be sure. All the planets，except the moon and Mars，are so far away that it will take hundreds of years for our spaceships to reach them.28. The BEST title for the passage is“_A.

Many scientists are asking if there is life on other planets.31. In the passage “straight means_.A. upright (直立的) B. level C. directly D. honestDStudents wishing to safeguard(保护) their careers against changes in the job market should choose science rather than arts degrees, according to a survey of undergraduates(大学生).Engineering and chemistry were considered to be the most “future proof, as they are the courses most likely to lead to an enduring(持久的) and adaptable career.Students polled by Pearson College were broadly optimistic(乐观的) that their chosen courses would prepare them for a world in which the job market could change dramatically (显著的，戏剧性的) during their working lives.But opinions were sharply divided over which degrees were best for future-proof careers.82 per cent of respondents believed engineering would lead to a future-proof skills, with 74 per cent believing the same of chemistry and 73 per cent of computer science.But just 33 per cent of undergraduates believed history would lead to a future-proof career, and 40 per cent English.However more than two thirds (67 per cent) of students thought the world of work would be significantly different or completely unrecognizable in 20 years.The findings, published today, come after Education Secretary Nicky Morgan sparked controversy with claims that teenagers should steer clear of the arts and humanities and choose science or math subjects if they want to access the widest range of jobs.She said that in previous decades students would only take math or science if they wanted to pursue a specific career such as medicine or pharmacy, but nowadays that “couldnt be further from the truth. “If you want to do something different, or even if you didnt know what you wanted to do.then the arts and humanities were what you chose, because they are usefulwe were toldfor all kinds of jobs. Of course now we know that that couldnt be further from the truth, and that the subjects that keep peoples options open and unlock doors to all sorts of career are the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) subjects.She also described math as “the subject that employers value most and said that pupils who study A-level math will earn 10 per cent more over their lifetime.“These figures show us that too many young people aged 15 are making choices which will hold them back for the rest of their lives, she said.32. In order to guarantee your future job, which will you choose according to the survey?A. Engineering or English B. History or math C. Math or art D. Engineering and chemistry 33. Whats the students attitude towards their chosen courses?A. Doubtful B. worried C. optimistic D. objective34. How do you understand the underlined words?A. It is far away from the truth. B. Its close to the truth.C. It couldnt be close to the death. D. It reflects the truth.35. What did Nicky Morgan indicate (暗示，说明)in her claims?A. If you want to do something different, the arts and science are what you choose now.B. STEM subjects can make young people choose their future job freely.C. At College, young people should make choices for their lives.D. Math and science are considered to be the subjects that employers value most.第二节(共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Negative situations happen all the time.
