11、ions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage One For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the worlds greatest poet and dra

12、matist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of this great writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from his writings that have become part of the common property of English-speaking people.

13、 Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we use, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well-known proverbs and quotations!Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the great resourc

14、es of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English；Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than b

15、y studying the various ways Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeares day.16. It can be inferred from the first two sentences o

16、f the passage that_.A. English people refused to talk about great ShakespeareB. Shakespeares fame as the greatest writer is not debatableC. it is not necessary to talk about Shakespeares worksD. Shakespeares name is so well-known among readers17. According to the passage, many English words and expr

17、essions we use today are from _.A. Englishmen B. English-speaking peopleC. Shakespeares works D. Hamlet, the great tragedy18. By mentioning the number of words used in Shakespeares works, this passage intends to illustrate Shakespeares _.A. cleverness in words B. brilliance in languageC. persuasive

18、ability D. freedom of speech19. To appreciate the richness of the English language, _ can read Shakespeares plays.A. a foreigner B. an EnglishmanC. one D. an English beginner20. In this passage the author mainly intends to _.A. prove that English language has become variousB. tell that English words

19、 have undergone great changesC. indicate how much Englishmen love ShakespeareD. show how great a writer Shakespeare was Passage TwoCurrently, the misuse of the internet exists, for instance, in modifying other peoples bank account through the internet, stealing others data and information through th

20、e internet, doing illegal commerce of drugs or arms, spreading porn, violence, or even cult through the internet. All these exert very bad influence on social stability and communal health. It is also true that, if a computer is connected with the internet, there is a possibility for it to be intrud

21、ed into, however strong the anti-virus software and firewalls are. This explains why Microsoft and anti-virus software producers release security patches and virus-recognizing updates nearly every day. Though many people are struggling to reduce the damage of internet crimes, they still cause great

22、damage and loss every year. For example, the notorious virus worm, Nimaya, which had been produced by a 20-year-old person in Wuhan of Central China, caused over 2 million computers to break down and incurred a loss of over 50 million dollars. The wizard producer made this virus just for around 15 t

23、housand yuan. However, the effect of this virus and the loss caused by it are far beyond many peoples imagination. Though the internet is good for us for the most part, it has some serious negative effect. In my opinion, it is the duty of our government to lay down relevant laws to prevent internet

24、crimes and reinforce the proper use of the internet by young people. 21. From the beginning of this passage, we can infer that if there is a paragraph previous to this passage, it is most probably on _.A. how the internet is properly usedB. how the internet is developedC. how the internet is invente

25、dD. how powerful the internet is 22. According to the passage, Microsoft frequently releases security patches to _. A. to promote possible recurrence of safety problems B. strengthen the functions of their software C. keep up with the latest software development D. prevent virus software from invadi

26、ng a computer 23. The twenty-year-old youth in Central China is said to be _. A. very clever B. really evil C. quite promising D. abnormally powerful24. According to the passage, the youth produced virus worm, Nimaya, for _. A. fun B. money C. prize D. power25. The author suggests that the governmen

27、t take up the responsibility of _.A. defending the young regularly B. giving guidance to the youngC. crushing down the crimes D. reducing the negative effectsPassage ThreeThe British people are great readers of newspapers. There are few homes to which one newspaper is not delivered every morning. Ma

28、ny households have two, or even three, newspapers every day. One newspaper may be delivered at the house, a member of the family may buy one at the station bookstall to read on the train as he goes to town, and someone else in the family may buy an evening newspaper later in the day. Daily papers ar

29、e those that are published daily from Monday to Saturday. There are the morning papers and the evening papers. The morning papers are on sale in the morning. The evening papers begin to appear during the morning, and new editions appear every two or three hours until the final edition comes out in t

30、he evening. The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably The Times. It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for reliable news and serious comment on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular politica

31、l party. Its leading articles give the opinions of its editorial staff, not those of the owners of the paper. The Daily Express and the Daily Mail are also independent, though they are usually more sympathetic to Conservative than to socialist policies. The Daily Telegraph, also a serious paper with a high reputation, is not independent. It supports the Conservative Party. Two popular papers are Daily Mirror and the Daily Ske
