Everybody knows that the nicest men become
7、monsters behind the wheel. You might tolerate the odd road hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a Be Kind to Other Drivers campaign; otherwise it may get completely out of hand. Road politeness i
8、s not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good- tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a
9、wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modem traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they se
10、e it. However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossi
11、ng into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams o
12、ne at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modem motorists cant even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of roadmanship.

15、not tolerate impolite drivers.D.Nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists.答案:D解析 引号内的句子意为“以前对于偶尔出现的横冲直撞的、粗鲁、不体谅人的司机，你或许能忍耐，但如今有礼貌的司机却实属罕见”。D是对the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule的同义转述，故为答案。3. What will most probably happen nowadays when you show politeness to
16、other drivers on road?A.They will show politeness to you inversely.B.They will accept your politeness thankfully.C.They will just drive on as nothing has happened.D.They will make way for you readily.答案:C解析 第2段最后两句提到了道路礼貌之举得到的回应：答谢之举太少了，许多司机就是见到了似乎也意识不到那是在表示礼貌。所以可以推测，那些司机会像什么事都没发生过一样继续开车，故答案为C。4. Wh

18、ognize others politeness at the right moment.答案:B解析 第3段首句提到，不合时机的礼貌也可能会带来危险，接下来举了三个例子对此进行说明，B是对原文的同义转述，故为答案。A和C虽表述正确，但并不只是作者举例想阐明的道理。D在本段并未提及。5.

20、kers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance. It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic (语言的) and cultural diversity
21、in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against 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 (巨大的) global corporations. All of these forces appea
22、r to indicate a future in which the language of advertising, popular culture, 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
23、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 most of the rest doomed in the century after that? Whether most of these languages survive will probably depend on how strongly cultural grou
24、ps wish to keep their identity alive through a native language. To do so will require an emphasis on bilingualism (mastery of two languages). Bilingual (双语的) speakers could use their own language in smaller spheresat home, among friends, in community settingsand a global language at work, in dealing
25、s 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 homogenising (同化的) forces of globalisation. Ironically (讽刺的), the trend of technological innovation (创新) that has
26、 threatened minority languages could also help save them. For example, some experts predict that computer software translation tools will one day permit minority language speakers to browse the Internet using their native tongues. Linguists are currently using computer-aided learning tools to teach
27、a variety of threatened languages. 1. According to the passage, minority languages can be best preserved _.A.in the interconnected modern worldB.in relatively isolated language communitiesC.if cultural groups wish to keep their native languagesD.if minority language speakers insist on using their ow
28、n languages答案:B解析 根据题干中的preserved将本题出处定位于第1段。该段最后一句中的a key factor in为relative isolation的同位语，由该同位语可知，small language communities to live in relative isolation(小语种团体相对与世隔绝)是language maintenance(保存语言)的主要因素，B表述内容与原文一致，故为答案。2. According to the author, whether the linguistic and cultural diversity of the w
29、orld can be maintained in the future is still a mystery because _.A.globalisation makes it possible for people to live without small languagesB.many migrants start to speak major languages to replace their mother tongueC.major languages are gaining great popularity among people all over the worldD.l
30、anguages with small numbers of speakers are useless in commerce and communication答案:C解析 根据题干中的the linguistic and cultural diversity将本题出处定位于第2段。该段第1句指出，将来世界上语言和文化是否可以保持多样性还有待观察。随后作者给出了一系列原因：population growth，mass tourism，global telecommunications and mass media和the spread of gigantic global corporati
31、ons，这些都说明世界性的交流越来越广泛。随后作者又指出English and a few other major tongues成了global languages of commerce and communication(贸易和通讯的全球语言)，而且很多人都把学习这些全球语言视为获得education，economic opportunity和a better way of life的机会，由此可推断，major languages(主要语种)越来越受到人们的欢迎，故答案为C。3. It can be inferred from the passage that the developm
32、ent of our world _.A.makes the existing languages more popularB.will make it possible that English is spoken by all the peopleC.undermines the progress of cultureD.is killing the minority languages答案:D解析 根据题干中的the development of our world将本题出处定位于第2段。该段第2句指出，powerful forces appear to work against it，
33、其中it指的是linguistic and cultural diversity。该句中冒号后面的内容是对powerful forces的举例说明，都属于the development of our world(世界发展)的范畴，由此可知，世界的发展会阻碍linguistic and cultural diversity(语言和文化的多样性)，而语言和文化之所以会有其多样性，主要是因为小语种的存在。结合上述分析可知，世界的发展同样会使小语种处于消失的边缘，故答案为D。4. What does the author say about bilingualism in this passage?A
34、.It can help minority languages become acceptable in work places.B.It can help speakers maintain their linguistic and cultural identity.C.It can push the small language communities to move forward.D.It can homogenise the worlds languages and cultures.答案:B解析 根据题干中的bilingualism将本题出处定位于第3段。该段第5句指出，bili
35、ngual speakers(双语者)在较小的范围内使用their own language，在工作中使用global language能够sustain their cultural and linguistic integrity(保持自己的文化和语言的完整性)。结合本段第3句可知，native language可以保持说话者的identity，而这种identity主要体现在cultural identity和linguistic identity两个方面，由此可知，bilingualism可以帮助双语者maintain their linguistic and cultural ide
36、ntity，故答案为B。5. Computer technology is helpful for preserving minority languages in that it _.A.facilitates the learning and using of those languagesB.raises public awareness of saving those languagesC.makes it easier for linguists to study those languagesD.presents those languages before everyone答案:
37、A解析 根据题干中的computer将本题出处定位于第4段。该段指出，科技革新的趋势在威胁小语种的同时也能够help save them，并以computer software translation tools(电脑翻译软件)为例进行说明。通过该例子可知，电脑翻译软件将来有一天能够使小语种的使用者用自己的语言浏览因特网，这就表明computer software translation tools对minority languages具有促进作用，A表述的正是此意，故为答案。Part Translation问题:1. 中国人的姓名通常姓(family name)在前，名(given name
38、)在后。中国有10多亿个名字，所以人们即便在随意场合也可能会连名带姓地介绍自己，这是很寻常的。历史上，人名的受欢迎程度会随着时事而变化。例如，20世纪6070年代“红”颇受欢迎，因其代表“革命”。20世纪80年代改革开放时期，“致富”成为一个名字，因其意为“变得富有”。答案:It is typical that the given name is preceded by the family name in China. It is customary for Chinese people to introduce themselves through their family name wi
39、th given name even in casual situations on the grounds that there are over 1 billion names in China. In Chinese history, the popularity of the given name depends on what events are under way. For example, during the 1960s and 1970s, the given name Hong (the color of red) was quite popular because it symbolized revolution. Over the period of reform and opening up in the 1980s, Zhifu emerged as the given name for it means getting rich. 13 / 13
