AEnglishWorld languageOnce people dreamed of a language that everybody in the world could understand. Now, for the first time in human history, perhaps there is one—English. It is the official language in more than 50 countries and 250－300 million speak it as a second language. Some say that half the world will be speaking it in the year 2050.Difficult to master?English is not the easiest language to learn—most of its common verbs are irregular and it has a large vocabulary—at least 200，000 words are in common use. Its pronunciation and written form are also very different.User－friendlyBut some things make it easy—nouns don't have gender and verbs are less complicated than other languages. There is only one form to speak to someone directly—‘you’. Adjectives don't agree with nouns, and many nouns are often also verbs.English is everywhereSome other languages may have more speakers, like Spanish or Mandarin. But English is used in many different areas. It is the language of transport: most airline pilots and air－traffic controllers use it. At sea a simple form of English is the international language of communication.English for progressIt is also the first language of science, technology and education—an estimated 80 per cent of the information stored on the internet is in English and 90 per cent of schoolchildren in European countries study it as their first foreign language.New wordsAround 25，000 new words and expressions enter the English language every year. Do you know what a helicopterparent is？—a mother or father too involved in the life of their child. And what about a boomerangchild？—a young adult who returns to live with their parents for financial reasons.The future of EnglishWhat is the future of English as a global language? Will another language ever replace it? Many think not—it is already too popular.21. According to the text, how many people speak English as a second language?A.

It might be in a dream, a lost letter, a memory, or something found that we’d forgotten about.My grandmother was from a town in Michigan. And summer after summer I enjoyed staying with my grandparents as a young child. I was from the city and loved the small town where they lived. People kneweveryone, their children, their pets, their ancestors.Grandma was always using her hands for something exciting... she would make sandwiches and we’d have tea parties, plant flowers and carefully tend them. She loved knitting sweaters as well as making beautiful quilts for her grandchildren. I remember the small thimble (顶针) she would place on her finger while doing her needlework.A few years ago, when Grandma left this earth for her new residence in Heaven, I bid farewell to my loving grandmother. How quickly our lives can change! We had just had tea together a couple of months earlier, on her 91st birthday. I missed her very much, but I noticed it mostly on my birthdays, because there was no card from Grandma. She’d never forgotten my birthday!On one particular birthday when I was feeling a little low, something happened made me feel as if she was sharing that special day with me. I was arranging some colorful pillows that she had made, and suddenly I felt something inside one pillow; it was small and hard. I moved the object to a seam（缝）that I carefully opened, and, to my delight, out came a tiny silver thimble!How happy I was to find something that had been a part of her! Not realizing it had fallen off her finger, I pictured her sewing it into that little pillow that I just happened to fluff（抖松）, to place on my bedspread（床罩）that day. I carefully laid the thimble alon gside the others I’d collected over the years. What a precious memory of a very special lady who, somehow, I knew, was laughing in delight at sewing her thimble into my pillow.

Atthis point, the New Jersey program is not a must.If someone tries to slip in behind an authorized person, the system causes an alarm and red flashinglights in the front office. The entire process takes just seconds.This kind of technology is already at work in airports around the country like Orlando InternationalAirport, where the program has been in operation since July. It has 12,000 subscribers who pay $79.95 forthe convenience of submitting to iris scans rather than going through lengthy security checks.An iris scan is said to be more accurate than a fingerprint because it records 240 unique details—farmore than the seven to twenty-four details that are analyzed in fingerprints. The chances of beingmisidentified by an iris scan are about one in 1.2 million and just one in 1.44 trillion if you scan both eyes.Phil Meara, the Freehold District official, said that although it was expensive, the program would helpschools across the country move into a new frontier in child protection. “This is all part of a largeremphasis, here in New Jersey, on school safety,” he said. “We chose this school because we were lookingfor a typical slightly urban school to launch the system.”Meara applied for a $369,000 grant on behalf of the school district and had the eye scanners installedin two grammar schools and one middle school. So far, 300 of the nearly 1,500 individuals available to pickup a student from school have registered for the eye scan system.28.

Iris Scanners are Invented in the Country.DThe battle for women’s right to voteOne hundred years ago, British women were given the vote for the first time. How did it come about?The first appeals for women’s right to vote in Britain date from the early 19th century. In 1818, in his Plan of Parliamentary Reform, Jeremy Bentham insisted that women should be given the vote. Women at the time had no political rights at all– they were deemed to be represented by their husbands or fathers. The old arguments prevailed. Women, it was said, were mentally less able than men; their “natural sphere” was in the home; they were unable to fight for their country, and thus undeserving of full rights; moreover, they simply didn’t want the vote. This was at least partly true. “I have never felt the want of a vote,” declared Florence Nightingale in 1867, while Queen Victoria c ondemned the “mad, wicked folly of women’s rights”. Even George Eliot was reluctant to back the cause.It wasn’t until the second half of the 19th century that the first campaigning women’s groups were formed. Initially they focused on the lack of education, employment opportunities and legal rights for women (married women, at the time, had no independent legal standing); but the question of the vote gradually became central to their demands –both symbolically, as a recognition of women’s rights, and pra ctically, as a means of improving women’s lives.However, the women’s campaigning was still a subject of debate. While most historians agree that the campaigns were initially very effective in mobilizing women and highlighting injustices, a series of massprocessions followed; more than 250,000 women protested in Hyde Park in 1908. Many were arrested and ill-treated; prisoners who went on hunger strike were brutally force-fed. Over time they became steadily more militant – smashing shop windows, setting fire to letter boxes, libraries and even homes. The PM, Herbert Asquith, an opponent of women’s votes, was attacked with a dog whip. Such use of violence was thought, certainly at the time, to have been unfavorable.With the sacrifices of the First World War strengthening support for widening the right to vote generally, women suspended campaigning. More than a million women were newly employed outside the home --in munitions(军需品) factories, engineering works. Crucially, Asquith was replaced as PM by David Lloyd George, a supporter of votes for women. The Representation of the People Act 1918 was introduced by the coalition government and passed by a majority of 385 to 55, gaining the Royal Assent on 6 February 1918. Women over 30, who were householders or married to one, or university graduates, were given the vote.32. Which of the following is NOT the reason why women were not qualified to vote?A. Women were supposed to do housework and serve their husbands.B. Women were too weak to fight against enemies.C. Women had already enjoyed many political rights.D. Women were not as intelligent as men.33. According to the passage, why did women’s campaigning arouse d ebate?A. Because it failed to mobilize women and emphasize injustices.B. Because women were put in prison and abused during the protest.C. Because most women didn’t want the vote.D. Because all the emotional behaviors were regarded as improper.34. The word “militant” (in Line 5, Para.4) probably refers to ______________.A. imposing.B. extreme.C. negative.D. obedient.35. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Women stopped protesting for their vote because they were offered more job opportunities.B. The PM, Herbert Asquith, an opponent of women’s votes, committed suicide.C. The first campaigning women groups were formed originally for the sake of legal rights.D. All women can enjoy their right to vote since the introduction of People Act.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分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佳选项。
