题目
In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe，fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University.I had never before seen a man so tall as he，and so ugly.I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him feel at home.
His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness.They spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears，of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.
Indeed，his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and see for myself.My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o‘clock classes.
Upon arriving at the university that day，I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the English composition teachers as an office.He did not say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall，and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look around.
He stepped in，remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out.“Tell me what you see.”I said as I took his place in the room，leaving him in the hall with his back to the door.Without the least hesitation and without a single error，he gave the number of seats in the room，pointed out those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls，named the colors each student was wearing，pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard，spoke of the chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor，and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from the window.
As I rejoined Wolfe，I was speechless with surprise.He，on the contrary，was wholly calm as he said，“The worst thing about it is that I‘ll remember it all.”
What is the passage mainly discussing

A.Thomas Wolfe‘s teaching work.
B.Thomas Wolfe‘s course in playwriting.
C.Thomas Wolfe‘s ability of explaining.
D.Thomas Wolfe‘s genius.

第2题：

Interviewer-------- Why is English so important?

David------- Well, English is so important primarily because so many people speak it and use it, so it has now become the lingua franca in the world in a way that we’ve never seen before. We’ve never had a world language of this kind before. So people are learning it not just to be able tocommunicate with native speakers, but also with speakers of other language around world.

Interviewer-------And why has it become that dominant language?

David------I think the reason for that is actually very complicated, although in the twentieth century, we can just see that it’s the rise of the US military and consumer power. I mean the technology, all the big developments in technology largely came from the US. So all of these developments actually were produced within the English language, and people had to learn English in order to understand them, or to benefit from them. The Internet is only one example of that kind. Once a language has got into that position of dominance, it’s actually very different to shift it. So we could be seeing the emergence of other big languages in the world becoming more important than they have been, like Spanish, but it’s unlikely that they’re going to shift the English from its position of dominance.

36. English is important, according to David, __________________________. A). because it has become a world language B). because so many people speak and use it C). because a lot of people are learning it D). because it is the lingua franca

37. English has become the dominant language in the world________________________. A). because it has always been the way B). for a reason that is very complicated C). only in the 20th century D). for no reasons

38. English became the dominant language in the 20th century_________________________. A). in the USA

B). because of the increase in American consumer power

C). because developments in technology came mainly from USA. D). all over the world.

39. People had to learn English______________________.

A). because developments in technology were made by English speakers B). because they needed to understand the new developments in technology C). to use the Internet

D). to speak with native Americans

40. David thinks that__________________________.

A). it will be easy for another language to become dominant B). English will not always be the dominant language

C). it will not be easy for another language to become dominant D). English will be the dominant language

The Forbidden Apple
New York used to be the city that never sleeps. These days it's the city that never smokes,drinks or does anything naughty(at least,not in public).The Big Apple is quickly turning into the Forbidden Apple.
If you wanted a glass of wine with your picnic in Central Park,could you have one?No chance. Drinking alcohol in public isn't allowed. If you decided to feed the birds with the last crumbs（碎屑）of your sandwich, you could be arrested. It's illegal. If you went to a bar for a drink and a cigarette,that would be OK,wouldn't it?Er…no.You can't smoke in public in New York City.
What's going on?Why is the city that used to be so open-minded becoming like this?
The mayor of New York is behind it all. He has brought in a whole lot of new laws to stop citizens from doing what they want,when they want.
The press are shocked. Even the New York police have joined the argument. They re- cently spent$100,000 ona“Don't blame the cop”campaign. One New York police officer said,”We raise money for the city by giving people fines for breaking some very stupid laws. It's all about money.”
The result is lot of fines for minor offences. Yoav Kashida,and Israeli tourist,fell asleep on the subway. When he woke up,two police officers fined him because he had fallen asleep on two seats(you mustn't use two seats in the subway).Elle and Serge Schroitman were fined for blocking a driveway with their car. It was their own driveway.
The angry editor of Vanity Fair magazine,Graydon Carter,says.”Under New York City law it is acceptable to keep a gun in your place of work,but not an empty ashtray.”He should know. The police came to his office and took away his ashtray（烟灰缸）.
But not all of New York's inhabitants are complaining. Marcia Dugarry,72,said,”The city has changed for the better. If more cities had these laws,America would be a better place to live.”Nixon Patotkis,38,a barman,said,”I like the new laws. If people smoked in here, we'd go home smelling of cigarettes.”
Recent figures show that New York now has fewer crimes per 100,000 people than 193 other US cities.And it's true一It's safer,cleaner and more healthy than before. But let'sbe honest一who goes to New York for its clean streets?

Eating apples in the park is illegal.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned

答案：C
解析：
题干意为“在纽约城最近有一些活动已经变得不合法了”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语some activities, New York作为定位线索，同时关注题干中的修饰词illegal，这 样在第二段中找到相关句：Drinking alcohol in public isn't allowed. If you decided to feed the birds with the last crumbs（碎屑)of your sandwich, you could be arrested. It's illegal．相关句 意为“公共场所不许喝酒，不许用面包屑喂鸟，否则会被逮捕”。题干句其实是对短文中列举的这些细节信息的概括，两者意义一致。所以答案为A。
题干意为“在纽约城的任何地方吸烟或喝酒都是违法的”。利用题干中的名 词及名词短语alcohol , New York作为定位线索，在短文中找到相关句：You can't smoke in public in New York City．相关句提到“在纽约城里你不能在公众场合下吸烟”。短文只说在公共场合下不能吸烟，没有说在纽约城的任何地方都不能吸烟，因此题干陈述的意义与短文中的相关信息矛盾，不一致。所以、答案为B。
题干意为“在公园里吃苹果是非法的”。利用题干中的名词apples , park作为定位线索，结果发现短文中根本没有提到能否在公园里吃苹果，因此题干陈述的信息为短文中未提及的信息。所以答案为C。
题干意为“商人们喜欢新的法规”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语business-man , new laws作为定位线索，结果发现短文中只提到了某些人对新的法规的反应，但没有讲、到商人们的反应。所以答案为C。
题干“Elle和Schroitman把他们的车停在公共车道上”。利用题干中的名词 及名词短语Elle , Serge Schroitman , car , public driveway作为定位线索，在短文中找到相关 句：Elle and Serge Schroitman were fined for blocking a driveway with their car. It was their own driveway．相关句提到他们的车挡住了他们自己的车道，由此可见题干陈述的意义与相关句不一致。所以答案为B。
题干意为,(（名利场》杂志的编辑认为一些新的法规很愚蠢”。利用题干中的名 词及名词短语editor of Vanity Fair magazine , the new laws作为定位线索，在短文中找到相关句： The angry editor of Vanity Fair magazine,Graydon Carter,says,”Under New York city law it is acceptable to keep a gun in your place of work , but not a empty ashtray.”相关句提到（（名利场》杂志的编辑嘲讽根据纽约的法律枪支可以带到工作场所，但却不可以带一个空的烟灰缸，依据相关句的内容可以看出《名利场》杂志的编辑认为新的法规的做法是很愚蠢的。所以答案为A。
题干意为“纽约比以往更干净，更安全”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语 New York作为定位线索，同时关注题干中的修饰词cleaner和safer，这样在短文中找到相关句：”And it's true一It（指纽约）'s safer, cleaner and more healthy than before.”相关句提到 “纽约比以往更安全，更干净，也更卫生”。显然题干陈述的意义与短文中的相关信息一致。所 以答案为A。
