20、tions:Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Passage One Prior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world mak
21、es it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance and preservation. 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 agains
22、t it :population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the worlds last isolated locations; mass tourism; global telecommunications and mass media; and the spread of gigantic global corporations. All of these forces appear to signify a future in which the language of advertising, popular cult
23、ure, and consumer products become similar. Already English and a few other major tongues have emerged as global languages of commerce and communication. For many of the worlds peoples, learning one of these languages is viewed as the key to education, economic opportunity, and a better way of life.
24、Only about 3,000 languages now in use are expected to survive the coming century. Are 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 identity alive through a native language. To do so
25、will require an emphasis on bilingualism（mastery of two languages）. Bilingual speakers could use their own language in smaller spheres-at home, among friends, in community settings-and a global language at work, in dealings with government, and in commercial spheres. In this way, many small language
26、s 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
27、 that computer software translation tools will one day permit minority language speakers to browse the Internet using their native tongues. Linguists are currently using computeraided learning tools to teach a variety of threatened languages. For many endangered languages, the line between revival a
28、nd 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 wo
29、rld while reclaiming their unique identities through language.41.Minority languages can be best preserved in _.A.an increasingly interconnected world B.maintaining small numbers of speakersC.relatively isolated language communities D.following the tradition of the 20th century42.According to Paragra
30、ph 2, that the world can maintain its linguistic diversity in the future is _.A. uncertain B.unrealistic C.foreseeable D.definite43.According to the author, bilingualism can help_.A.small languages become acceptable in work places B.homogenize the worlds languages and culturesC.global languages reac
31、h home and community settings D.speakers maintain their linguistic and cultural identity44.Computer technology is helpful for preserving minority languages in that it_.A.makes learning a global language unnecessary B.facilitates the learning and using of those languagesC.raises public awareness of s
32、aving those languages D.makes it easier for linguists to study those languages45.In the authors view, many endangered languages are_.A.remarkably well-kept in this modern world B.exceptionally powerful tools of communicationC.quite possible to be revived instead of dying out D.a unique way of bringi
33、ng different groups togetherPassage 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 fi
34、nancing of its health system. Canadas new Conservative Prime Minister, Stephen Harper, made a big fuss during the election about reducing the countrys lengthy medical queues. Across the rich world, affluence, ageing and advancing technology are driving up health spending faster than income. But nowh
35、ere has a bigger health problem than America. Soaring medical bills are squeezing wages, swelling the ranks of the uninsured and pushing huge firms and perhaps even the government towards bankruptcy. Fords announcement this week that it would cut up to 30.000 jobs by 2012 was as much a sign of its “
36、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 and by forecasts showing that the retiring baby-boomers (生育高峰期出生的人) will crush the governments finances, George Bush is to unveil a reform ;plan in next weeks sta
37、te-of the union address. Americas 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 year. Yet it is the only rich country that does not guarantee universal health coverage. Thanks t
38、o 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 mor
39、e 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 citedespecially by foreignersis the army of uninsured. Some 46 million Americans do not have cover. In ma
40、ny 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
41、 of the “socialized medicine” of Canada and Europe. In fact, even if much of the administration is done privately, around 60% of Americas heath-care bill ends up being met by the government. Proportionately, the American state already spends as much on health as the OECD（Organization of Economic Coo
42、peration and Development）average, and that share is set to grow as the baby-boomers run up their Medicare bills and ever more employers avoid providing health-care coverage. America is , in effect, heading towards a version of socialized medicine by default. 46.Health problems mentioned in the passa
43、ge include all the following EXCEPT_. A. poor hospital conditions in U.K. B. Angela Merkel under attack C. health financing in Germany D. long waiting lines in Canada 47.Fords announcement of cutting up to 30,000 jobs by 2012 indicates that Ford_. A. has the biggest health problem of the car industr
44、y B. has made profits from its health-care legacy C. has accumulated too heavy a health-care burden D. owes a great deal of debt to its employees 48.In the authors opinion, Americas health system is _. A. inefficientB. feasible C. unpopular D. successful 49.It is implied in the passage that_. A. Americas health system has its strengths and weaknesses B. the US government pays medical bills for the poor and the elderly
