Since the advent (來臨) of World Wide Web, many minority 　42　，those spoken by single nations or ethnic groups, have enjoyed a dramatic upsurge(急劇上升)in vitality. Many such tongues were 43 endangered just a decade ago. Late-century mobility and economic currents were taking more and more speakers out of their munities and away from fellow speakers. Languages were 　44　 at an alarming rate. 　　Like biological extinction, linguistic extinction is a serious loss for all of humankind. Languages are some of the 　45　 ways people maintain their culture and are crucial to understanding other cultures. When fewer and fewer people share a 　46　 language, it may die, and when it does, part of our collective human culture dies with it． Surprisingly, though, the Internet has bee a valuable tool for 　47 endangered languages. Speakers of these languages not only have been particularly active in putting up web pages in their various languages, but also in mounting (配置) 　48　 effective, large-scale dictionary and language-learning projects online. There is no reason why minority languages cannot live together with a mon social language like English. Indeed, the Internet offers more hope for their 　49 　 than they have ever known before, especially as translation tools bee more effective. 　　 III. Reading prehension Section A (20%) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Millions of Americans and foreigners see GI. Joe as a mindless war toy, the symbol of American military adventurism, but that’s not how it used to be. To the men and women who 50 in World War Ⅱ and the people they liberated, the GI was the 51 man grown into hero, the poor farm kid torn away from his home, the guy who 52 all the burdens of battles, who slept in cold foxholes, who went without the 53 of food and shelter, who stuck it out and drove back the Nazi reign of murder. This was not a volunteer soldier, not someone well paid, 54 an average guy up against the best trained, best equipped, fiercest, most brutal enemies in centuries. His name isn’t 55 .

Pyle was famous for covering the 63 side of the war, writing about the dirt-snow-and-mud soldiers, not how many miles were 64 or what towns were captured or 65 . His reports paralleled (相似) the “Willie” cartoons of famed Stars and Stripes artist Bill Maulden. Both men 66 the dirt and exhaustion of war, the fragments of civilization that the soldiers 67 with each other and the civilians: coffee, tobacco, whiskey, shelter, sleep. 68 Egypt, France, and a dozen more countries, GI.

A. on the contrary B. by this means C. from the beginning D. at that point Section B (42%) Directions: Read the following five passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. ( A ) About twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our “act” would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things. We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in “snow”. Two more fans were turned on, and a “strong wind” blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold. The next scene was a plete contrast. The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures in front taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood of the scene so that they looked trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, as if they were at the water’s edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio! Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “stars”! 70. Who is the author? A. A cameraman. B. A film director. C. A crowd-scene actor. D. A workman for scene setting. 71. What made the author feel cold? A. The heavy snowfall. B. The man-made scene. C. The low temperature. D. The film being shown. 72. What would happen in the “three minutes” mentioned in the last paragraph? A. A new scene would be filmed. B. More stars would act in the film. C. The author would leave the studio. D. The next scene would be prepared. ( B ) Human wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view. The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears. The first and most basic level of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears, clothing and some sorts of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “l(fā)ife-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, the feeding, fort, safety, and transportation of the human body, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury" items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and entertainment. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels, more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their ine increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by munity action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. After filling stomachs, our clothes, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, ,safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels. 73. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when ________. A. he has saved up enough money B. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter C. he has satisfied his hunger for food D. he has learned to build house 74. It can be inferred from the passage that at the end of World War II most Americans ________. A. were very rich B. live in poverty C. had the good things on the first three levels D. did not own automobiles 75. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level? A. The more goods the better B. The more mental satisfaction the better C. The more "luxury" items the better D. The more earnings the better 76. The author is inclined to think that a fifth level ________ A. would be little better than the fourth level B. may be a lot more desirable than the first four C. can be the last and most satisfying level D. will bee attainable provided the government takes action ( C ) In the more and more petitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. Today, customer “delight” is what panies are trying to achieve in order to keep and increase market share. It is accepted in the marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researchers, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people; those treated badly tell tales of woe to up to 20 people. Interestingly, 80 percent of people who feel their plaints are handled fairly will stay loyal. New challenges for customer care have e when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet. For example, many panies now have to invest a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage”---- caused by delays in answering calls, being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods. “Many people do not like talking to machines,” says Dr, Storey, Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City University Business School. “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them. The aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust them – the sort of fortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.” Remended ways of creating c
