Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marke

17、d A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. If you ask people to name one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson and Webster but none of these

18、men had any effect at all compared with a man who didnt even speak English William the Conqueror. Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in north lived the Sc

19、ots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos-Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic Language. If this state of affairs had lasted,

20、English today would be close to German. But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result

21、, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still o

22、ut in fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating. When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more foreign than France because the German they see

23、 on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one mans ambition. 31. According to the passage, _ had the great effect on the Englis

24、h language. A) Shakespeare B) Samuel Johnson C) Webster D) William the Conqueror 正确答案： D 32. The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were _.

25、the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French? A) President, lawyer, beef. B) President, bread, water. C) Bread, field, sheep. D) Folk, field, cow. 正确答案： A 34. Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe? A) Because most advertisem

26、ents in France appear in English. B) Because they know little of the history of the English language. C) Because many French words are similar to English ones. D) Because they know French better than German. 正确答案： C 35. What is the subject discussed in the text? A) The history of Great Britain. B) T

27、he similarity of Great Britain. C) The rule of England by William the Conqueror. D) The French influences on the English language. 正确答案： D Passage Two Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. Taste is such a subjective matter that we dont usually conduct preference tests for food. The

28、most you can say about anyones preference is that its one persons opinion. But because the two big cola companies Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively, weve wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who id

29、entified themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting. We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought theyd have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand

30、. We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished. Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but
