　　If you ask people to name one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like“Shakespeare”,“Samuel Johnson”and“Webster”but none of these men had any effect at all compared with a man who didn't even speak English---William the Conqueror.
　　Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos-Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic Language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.
　　But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of polities and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction(区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.
　　When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more“foreign”than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.
46.The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were _____.
　　A. Welsh and Scottish　　　　　　　　　　B. Nordic and Germanic
　　C. Celtic and Old English　　　　　　　　D. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic
　　47.Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French?
　　A. president , lawyer, beef　　　　　　　 B. president , bread, water
　　C. bread , field, sheep　　　　　　　　　 D. folk , field, cow
48.Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?
　　A. Most advertisements in France appear in English.
　　B. they know little of the history of the English language.
　　C. Many French words are similar to English ones.
　　D. They know French better than German.
49.What is the subject discussed in the text?
　　A. The history of Great Britain. B. The similarity of Great Britain.
　　C. The rule of England by William the Conqueror. D. The French influences on the English language.

II 阅读理解（共25小题。第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）
第一节阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（ A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
　　The Opera house in Santa Fe. New Mexico is one of the most beautiful ones in the United States. It is small and open, with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience. This opera house in the mountain is one of the best in the country, which may seem surprising because performances are only given during seven weeks in the summer, and because Santa Fe is a very small city.
　　One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers. They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday, and they work hard to become well-known during the summer. The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras(管弦乐队) and operas in the country during their vacations. They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe, which is near both the mountains and the desert. It is very beautiful there in the summer.
　　The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country, and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera. Still, most of the audience does come from Santa Fe and other nearby cities, and all the seats in the theater are sold for every show.
　　There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera, and that is the cold weather. Because the theater is open, performances cannot start before it gets dark at nine o'clock in the evening, and then the mountain air becomes very cool. Sometimes people complain about the cold air, but because the operas are good, these people come back again---wearing warm coats.
　　41.This passage mainly introduces _____.
　　A. a mountain city　B. young musicians C. an opera house　D. the tourism in Santa Fe
　　42.Young singers come to perform in Santa Fe Opera because _____.
　　A. the music quality is high　　　　　　 B. they enjoy the climate there
　　C. they want to be famous　　　　　　　　D. they like the scenery there
　43.It seems surprising that Santa Fe becomes famous because _____.
　　A. it is only a very small place B. it is between the mountain and desert
　　C. all the seats are old for every show D. musicians there are from the best orchestras
　44.From the passage, we can learn that _____.
　A. the opera house is open without any roofs B. musicians always spend vacations in Santa Fe
　C. the government advertises to attract more musicians
　　D. performances are held in Santa Fe only after sunset
　45.The underlined word“advertise”in Paragraph 3 means _____.
　　A. forces others to read　 B. cheats people to come C. supports　D. praises

Every country has its different customs when visiting other people's homes for a dinner party. It's important to know these before visiting a foreign country, so that you can avoid making embarrassing mistakes. Three people from different countries explain how to behave at a dinner party there.
Masako, Japan
The first thing to remember when visiting a Japanese home for dinner is that you should always dress correctly, as if going to the office. Casual wear is not appropriate. When you meet someone in Japan you should always bow. A deep bow is suitable for someone older or senior to you, while a short bow is suitable for younger people or your peers. Remember to take off your shoes when you enter the house. Always take a gift when you visit a Japanese home. Your host will expect it. It is important to arrive on time, and certainly not more than five minutes late. Don't sit down at the table until your host tells you where to sit. When you have finished eating and drinking, return your chopsticks to the chopstick rest, and do not finish your glass. If you do so, your host will pour more into the glass.
Mamadou, Senegal
Don't be surprised if there are only men or only women at your table when you go out to dinner in Senegal. Men and women sometimes eat separately in nay country. Wait until your host tells you where to sit. We normally sit on the floor to eat. First, everyone washes their hands in a washing basin. When the food comes it will be placed in front of you, and at first you will be offered food from the dishes by your host. Later you can serve yourself from the dishes, but make sure you do not lean over the food. Take food from the part of the bowl closest to you. Try a little of everything. It is polite to do so. Please make sure your feet do not touch the mat on which the food is placed.
Luis, Spain
Spanish dinner parties are great fun. We often start late in the evening and don't get up to leave until the small hours of the morning. I think you will enjoy going out to dinner in Spain. Firstly, never arrive on time. Fifteen or twenty minutes late is normal. Shake hands with your host, smile and look him in the eye. If he offers you a cup of coffee, be sure to accept it. Not to do so would be to reject your host' s kindness. A gift is not necessary, but will be welcomed. Food is served on individual plates, western-style, and is eaten with a knife and fork. Keep your hands where others can see them during the meal, but don' t put your elbows on the table. When you have finished, put your knife and fork at an angle on the plate. Try to finish your food if you can!
72. What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage?
A. To introduce some customs in foreign countries.
B. To tell stories about three people at dinner parties.
C. To avoid making embarrassing mistakes when dining abroad.
D. To show the importance of cultural awareness when travelling abroad.
73. From Masako's explanation, we can know that in Japan _________.
A. young people bow not so deeply as older or senior people
B. old people don't have to bow to young people
C. young people do not bow deeply to those of the same age
D. all people should bow deeply to each other when they meet
74. Which of the following should a guest in Senegal do when the food is served?
A. Wait until the host asks him/her to eat. B. Don't eat until the host helps him/her.
C. Help himself/herself to anything he likes. D. Eat up the food from the closest plate.
75. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

B. The Senegalese sit on the floor and eat at a table.
C. The Spanish sit at a table and eat with chopsticks.

Young Japanese people are evolving a new lifestyle for the 21st century based on the cell phones that few are now able to live without.
While about one-third of Japanese primary school students aged 7-12 use cell phones, by the time they get to high school, that figure has shot up to 96 percent, according to a government survey released last month. They are using their phones to read books, listen to music, chat with friends and surf the Internet -- an average of 124 minutes a day for high school girls and 92 minutes for boys.
While the wired world they now inhabit holds enormous advantages for learning and communicating, it also brings a downside, say experts who point to a rise in cyber-bullying and a growing inability among teenagers to deal with other people face to face. "Kids say what's most important to them, next to their own lives, is their cell phone," said Masashi Yasukawa. "It's a very scary world," he said. "As they reveal personal information about themselves, children can become prey (猎物) of adults who cheat or are sexually attracted to children. "
Education professor Tetsuro Saito said a survey of 1,600 middle school students aged around 14 found that most middle school cell phone users rarely used their phones to talk. Children seemed to want the security of communicating with someone, without the bother of dealing with a real person.
"Communication ability is bound to decline as cell phones and other devices are now getting between people," he said. Tomomi, 18, said: "I send some 20 emails a day. There are people I don't talk with -- even if I see them at school, I just exchange mail with them. I guess we're connected only by a machine."
Saito's survey found that students can also use their cell phones as an emotional crutch (拐杖) , and the more problems they have at home, the more dependent they seem to become on their phones. More than 60 percent of students who said they do not enjoy being with their families send 20 or more emails a day, compared with 35 percent of those happy with their families.
And even if cell phones can bring comfort, it can come at a terrible cost.
64. Which of the following topics is not included in the passage?
A. Sending emails to people around.                         B. Doing reading and listening to music.
C. Watching television on the cell phone.                   D. Getting the psychological dependence.
65. What's the meaning of the underlined word "downside" in Paragraph 3?
A. space below something solid or hard                     B. down part of a hill or mountain
C. decreasing of a certain figure                         D. negative part or disadvantage of something
66. Masashi says the cell phone is a scary world because the children will ________.
A. be exposed to a lot of frightening information
B. have their personal information exposed to some bad people
C. be attractive to some other children
D. go hunting with some adults who will cheat them
67. What will possibly be talked about in the paragraph that follows the passage?
A. The comfort brought by cell phones.                     B. The average cost of cell phones in Japan.
C. The high cost a teenager's phone bill hits.        D. The writer's attitude towards the problem.
