1、(完整word版)考研英语新题型模拟试题第二章 新题型模拟试题七(六)选五Passage 1English has become the worlds number one language in the 20th century. In every country where English is not the native language, especially in the Third World, people must strive to learn it to the best of their abilities, if they want to participate fu
2、lly in the development of their countries41)_.42)_. Nonetheless, a world full of different languages will disappear if the present trend in many countries to use English to replace the national or official languages in education, trade and even politics continues43)_ . The Third World countries that
3、 are now using English as a medium of instruction are depriving 75 percent of their future leaders of a proper education. According to many studies, only around 20 to 25 per cent of students in these countries Can manage to learn the language of instruction(English)as well as basic subjects at the s
4、ame time. Many leaders of these Third World countries are obsessed with English and for them English is everything. They seem to believe that if the students speak English, they are already knowledgeable44_. All the greatest countries of the world are great because they constantly use their own lang
5、uages in all national development activities, including education. From a psychological point of view, those who are taught in their own language from the start will develop better self-confidence and self-reliance. From a linguistic point of view, the best brains Can only be produced if students ar
6、e educated in their own language from the start45_. There is nothing wrong, however, in learning a foreign language at advanced levels of education. But the best thing to do is to have a good education in ones native language first, then go abroad to have a university education in a foreign language
7、A) If this situation continues, the native or official languages of these countries will certainly die within two or three generations. This phenomenon has been called linguistic genocide. A language dies if it is not fully used in most activities, particularly as a medium of instruction in schoolsB
8、) Those who are taught in a foreign language from the start wilt tend to be imitators and lack self-confidence. They will tend to rely on foreign consultantsC) Suppose you work in a big firm and find English very important for your job because you often deal with foreign businessmen. Now you are loo
9、king for a place where you can improve your English, especially your spoken EnglishD) But many people are concerned that Englishs dominance will destroy native languagesE)These leaders speak and write English much better than their national languages. If these leaders deliver speeches anywhere in th
10、e world they use English and they feel more at home with it and proud of their ability as well. The citizens of their countries do not understand their leaders speeches because they are made in a foreign languageF) Here are some advertisements about English language training from newspapers. You may
11、 find the information you needG) A close examination reveals a great number of languages have fallen casualty to English. For example, it has wiped out Hawaiian, Welsh, Scotch Gaelic, Irish, native American languages, and many others. Luckily, some of these languages are now being revived, such as H
12、awaiian and Welsh, and these languages will live again, hopefully, if dedicated people continue their work of reviving them. Passage 2In 1959 the average American family paid$989 for a years supply of food. In 1972 the family paid$1,3 1 1That was a price increase of nearly onethird. Every family has
13、 had this sort of experience. Everyone agrees that the cost of feeding a family has risen sharply. But there is less agreement when reasons for the rise are being discussed. Who is really responsible? Many blame the farmers who produce the vegetables, fruit, meat, eggs, and cheese that stores offer
14、for sale. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the farmers share ofthe$1,311 spent by the family in 1972 was $521. This was 31 percent more than the farmer had received in 1959 But farmers claim that this increase was very small compared to the increase in their cost of living. Farmers t
15、end to blame others for the sharp rise in food prices. They particularly blame those who process the farm products after the products leave the farm. These include truck drivers, meat packers, manufacturers of packages and other food containers, and the owners of stores where food is sold41)_. Of th
16、e $1,311 family food bill inl972,middlement received$790,which was 33 percent more than they had received in 1959It appears that the middlemens profit has increased more than farmers. But some economists claim that the middlemans actual profit was very low. According to economists at the First Natio
17、nal City Bank, the profit for meat packers and food stores amounted to less than one percent. During the same period all other manufacturers were making a profit of more than 5 percent42) _.43) _ .Vegetables and chicken cost more when they have been cut into pieces by someone other than the one who
18、buys it. A family should expect to pay more when several “TV dinners” are taken home from the store. These are fully cooked meals, consisting of meat, vegetables, and sometimes desert, all arranged on a metal dish. The dish is put into the oven and heated while the housewife is doing something else.
19、 Such a convenience costs money44) _. Economists remind US that many modern housewives have jobs outside the home. They earn money that helps to pay the family food bills. The housewife naturally has less time and energy for cooking after a days work. She wants to buy many kinds of food that can be
20、put on her familys table easily and quickly45) _.It appears that the answer to the question of rising prices is not a simple one. Producers, consumers, and middlemen all share the responsibility for the sharp rise in food costsA) Thus, as economists point out: “Some of the basic reasons for widening
21、 food price spreads are easily traceable to the increasing use of convenience foods, which transfer much of the time and work of meal preparation from the kitchen to the food processors plant”B) They are among the “middlemen” who stand between the farmer and the people who buy and eat the food. Are
22、middlemen the ones to blame for rising food prices?C) “If the housewife wants all of these. “the economists say, “that is her privilege, but she must be prepared to pay for the services of those who make her work easier”D) Who then is actually responsible for the size of the bill a housewife must pa
23、y before she carries the food home from the store? The economists at First National City Bank have an answer to give housewives, but many people will not like it. These economists blame the housewife herself for the jump in food prices. They say that food costs more now because women dont want to sp
24、end much time in the kitchen. Women prefer to buy food which has already been prepared before it reaches the market.E) However, some economists believe that controls Can have negative effects over a long period of time. In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a la
