二、完型填空：

I have said enough to you about the fact that no two native speakers of English speak it alike, but perhaps you are clever enough to ask me whether I myself speak it in the same way.

I must    11     at once that I do not. Nobody does. I am at present speaking to an audience of many thousands of gramophonists（学话者）, many of    12     are trying hard to follow my words, syllable by syllable. If I were to speak to you as carelessly as I speak to my wife at home, this record would be    13    ; and if I were to speak to my wife at home as carefully as I am speaking to you, she would think that I was going mad.

As a public speaker I have to take care that every word I say is heard clearly at the far    14    of large halls containing thousands of people. “But at home, when I have to consider only my wife sitting    15     six feet of me at breakfast, I take so little pains with my speech that very often,    16     giving me the expected answer, she says, “Don’t mumble, and don’t turn you head away when you speak. I can’t hear a word you are saying.” And she also is a little careless. Sometimes I have to say “what” two or three times during our meal. And she    17     me of growing deafer and deafer, though she does not say so, because, as I am now over seventy, it might be true.

We all have company manners. If you were to    18     a strange family and to listen through the keyhole before going in---not that I would suggest for a moment that you are capable of doing such a very unladylike or ungentle manlike thing; but still, if, in your enthusiasm for studying languages you could bring yourself to do it just for a few seconds to hear how a family speak to one another when there is    19     listening to them, and then walk into the room and hear how very    20     they speak in your presence, the change would surprise you. Even when our home manners are as good as our company manners---and of course they ought to be better---they are always different; and the difference is greater in speech than in anything else.

11.  A. admit     B. accept       C. refuse       D. deny

12.  A. them       B. who   C. whom       D. us

13   A. useful B. important  C. useless      D. helpful

14.  A. side B. end    C. distance    D. length

15.  A. within B. at              C. from         D. by

16.  A. other than B. except for

C. apart form        D. instead of

17.  A. excuses     B. suspects         C. thinks D. accuses

18.  A. call at      B. drop by     C. drop in             D. call on

19.  A. nobody else     B. nobody           

C. someone else   D. someone

20.  A. strangely   B. politely      C. differently        D. calmly

【答案解析】

11. A  意为“我必须承认”。

12. C  引导非限制性定语从句且在介词的后面，须用whom。

13. C  句意是“如果那样随便的话，就没有用处了”。

14. B  在大厅的远端，不能用distance，因distance 是指远处，可能超出大厅。

15. A  强调在六尺范围内，也许更近的范围。

16. D  表示“没有，而不是”，用Instead of。另外，Other than=except, Apart from=besides。

17. B  “怀疑我耳朵越来越聋了”，表示“怀疑某人做某事”是suspect sb of doing sth。

18. D  区分：call on sb拜访某人；call at拜访某地；drop in on sb顺便拜某人；drop in at顺便拜访某地。

19. A  指“当没有其他外人在场的时候”。

20. C  指“差别是多么大呀”。

三、阅读：

April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Britain. Started at first in the Unite States and brought to Britain in 1994, Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15. On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places. The purpose of this day is to broaden girls’ horizons and raise their self-confidence.

For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society. But actually, “girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys, whether it is a pilot, a nurse or a chief executive,” says the chairman of the Our Sons and Daughters Charitable Trust, an organization which supported the activity of the Day. “Now the girls have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work.”

Schools and many companies support the activity too. Palmers’ Green High School for girls, in north London, has made the day necessary part of careers education.

Zarina Bart, 15, from Palmers’ Green, went with her mother to her Lawyer’s office this year’s Take Our Daughters to Work Day. She found it interesting to see her mother at work. “It’s really strange seeing Mum at work--- running around, getting serious and telling people what to do.” She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks it likely that she will follow in her mother’s footsteps. Having a chance to see how her mother works has given her more self-confidence.

Experts believe that girls with higher self-confidence aim higher and are more likely to be successful in life. Parents have most important effect on the confidence of teenage girls. If parents believe in their daughters and show examples both at work as well as at home for them, this will give a lot of help to girls. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.

21.  Which is the best title of this passage?

A. Raising Self-confidence B. Take Our Daughters to Work Day

C. Girls can be Excellent too!   D. Following Footsteps

22.  It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that __________.

A. Women pilots are popular in Britain

B. Girls are sure about their future jobs

C. People have wrongly believed that girls can do as well as boys

D. For many years boys have a comparatively wider choice of work

23. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is British in origin.

B. On Take Our Daughters to Work Day, children are taken to their parents’ work places.

C. Palmers’ Green High School for girls favors Take Our Daughters to Work Day.

D. Parents always show good examples for their children both at work and at home.

24. After her experience on Take Our Daughters to Work Day, Zarina felt __________.

A.confident about her study

B. strange to work in a lawyer’s office

C. sure about what to choose as her future career

D. interested in following in her father’s footsteps

25. The writer’s attitude towards Take Our Daughters to Work Day is __________.

A. favorable  B. unclear      C. critical    D. not sure

21. B  文章主要介绍了Take Our Daughters to Work Day这一天的来源、做法、效果以及人们对这一做法的评论。选项A 所指太泛，没有点出中心；选项C Girls can be Excellent too!应该写女孩在方方面面都能胜过男孩，本文显然不是；选项D离题太远。

22. D  由第二段For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society. But actually, “girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys…”可以推断出由于社会对男性能力的肯定，男孩一直以来在择业方面顾虑比女孩少些，同时有着更大的选择空间。从help them to be more self-confident when they are faced with a choice of work这句得知，女孩在择业时信心是有待提升的，所以选项B不对；选项C与原文不符。

23. C  从第三段可以得知该学校支持该活动，并作为学校职业教育的一部分。选项A，该节日应该起源于美国；选项B，不是所有儿童，而是11至15岁的女孩；选项D的说法太绝对。

24. C   Zarina一直都对法律有兴趣，经过此事后更增强了对选择这一职业的信心。选项A，文章侧重的是以后的就业选择，不是指现在的学习；选项B曲解了原文的It’s really strange seeing Mum at work；选项D说法与原文不符。

25. A   由最后一句Take Our Daughters to Work Day is surely a step in the right direction.可看出作者对该节日是肯定的、支持的。

写作用结构：Great changes have taken place…；Worse still,…；A campaign, in which…

Before the campaign, we used to be late for school and failed to hand in our homework in time and, often, we forgot to greet our teachers and after class we made loud noises.

Worse still, we jumped the queue when waiting for buses and scrambled for seats on board. However, because of the campaign, we are present at our classes on time, more careful in our homework, and we have learned to show respect for the elders, help others, wait in line for buses and give up seats to other passengers. The campaign is a very good experience, from which we have learned a lot. More importantly, we have got rid of many bad habits and have become better students at school and better citizens in society.
