    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 men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t 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 west­central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, 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 now call Anglo­Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language.If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would have been 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, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction between upper­class French and lower­class Anglo­Saxon in its words.We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing farming, while the upper­class Normans were doing most of eating.

When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more “foreign” than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic at its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of the man’s ambition (野心).

1.The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were ____.

A.Welsh and Scottish B.Nordic and Germanic

C.Celtic and Old English D.Anglo­Saxon and Germanic

2.Which of the following groups of words is, by inference, rooted in French?

A.president, lawyer, beef B.president, bread, water

C.bread, field, sheep D.folk, field, cow

3.Why does French appear less foreign than German to Americans on their first visit to Europe?

A.Many French words are similar to English ones.

B.They know little of the history of the English language.

C.Most advertisements in France appear in English.

D.They know French better than German.

    Many kids would likely argue that their lunchtime is too short.While the precious breaks after class are used to relax and chat with friends, students also need to scarf_down a full meal to fuel them through the rest of the day.

But it is found that students need more than few minutes to consume (消耗) those much­needed nutrients (营养).Longer lunchtime is healthier.The study compared food choices with the amount of time students are given to eat.Students with less than 20 minutes for lunch ate less, including nutritional fruits and vegetables.

Nationwide, the average (平均的) lunchtime is about 30 minutes. But researchers found that the real lunchtime can get cut down to less than 10 minutes.Researchers researched 1,001 students in low­income neighborhoods in Massachusetts that had lunchtime between 20 and 30 minutes.Students with shorter lunchtime were less likely to even choose a fruit in their lunch:44 percent of students with 20­minute time picked up an apple or orange.

More than 30 million children, half of all public school children nationwide, according to the Southern Education Foundation, eat low­cost or free lunches every day under the National School Lunch program.With the 2010 Healthy, Hunger­Free Kids Act, school lunches have seen an overhaul (详细检查) in their nutritional guidelines, with an increase in whole grains (全谷类), low­fat choices, fruits and vegetables.

While increasing lunchtime and cutting into class time may not be a possible choice for many schools, whose funding depends on the results of tests.Researchers suggested simplifying the lunch lines so that students can make the most out of the time they have.

1.The underlined phrase “scarf down” in the first paragraph means “________”.

A.discuss B.cook C.eat D.improve

2.If students’ lunchtime is less than 20 minutes, they would ________.

A.have healthier lunches B.eat more vegetables

C.have less choices D.be short of proper nutrition

3.What do nearly half students choose to eat if they only have 20 minutes for lunch?

A.The vegetables. B.The milk. C.The meat. D.The fruits.

4.Why wouldn’t schools cut into class time in the last paragraph?

A.Because the students will not have the enough healthy choice.

B.Because the non­ideal result of the test will influence the school fund.

C.Because the school will have to improve lunch quality.

D.Because the students will waste their lunchtime playing.

    When your baby get older, you’re faced with the most challenging problem of all: How to get him or her best education you can.

“There was a time when you could enroll your child in kindergarten and about 13 years sit on one of those folding chairs and touch your eyes as they graduated from high school，” Peg Tyre says.

These days the difficult decision of where to send your kid to school starts early.You have to choose a school when your child might only be three or four years old.When you go on a school tour, Tyre says, don’t judge the place just by the finger paintings decorating the hallways.

“You want to look at the relationship between teacher and student，” she says.”What you want to see is teachers who have a lot of respect for kids, who seem to know their strengths and weaknesses.”

There’s a myth Tyre wants to say that has to end that all teachers are good teachers and can be moved around from classroom to classroom like bricks.

“That’s just not true，” she says.”One of the things I would say is a teacher who is in their first year is not a wonderful sign for an effective teacher for your child.They tend to be kind, they have a lot of energy, but they are not that effective in that first year.” So what do you do if your child is placed in a classroom with an inexperienced teacher? Don’t march straight to the principal’s office and demand a change, Tyre says.

“You can go to the principal and you can ask this question: What are you doing to support that teacher this year so that my child moves forward this year and is not just a guinea pig (实验对象) for your first­year teacher？”

Many parents know when they tour a school to ask about class size.But Tyre says the research doesn’t suggest that a smaller class size is a must.”When you look at the really research on class size, class size is very important from kindergarten to third grade ...After third grade there’s less of an effect on academic result.” she says.

1.We can infer from the second paragraph that in the past ________.

A.a child had to learn at the same school for 13 years

B.parents would cry at their children’s graduation from school

C.folding chairs were required for children to sit on

D.it was easy to get the best education for a child at school

2.To choose a school for your kid，you should ________.

A.judge whether teachers respect your kid

B.decide what strengths and weaknesses your kid has

C.see how finger paintings decorate the hallways

D.consider whether the teachers have their own kids

3.What statement may Tyre agree to?

A.A new teacher can be energetic and effective.

B.It is wonderful for a kid to have a first­year teacher.

C.A new teacher can teach students of different levels.

D.All teachers aren’t good teachers in fact.

4.What was Tyre’s attitude towards class size?

A.She was strongly against it. B.She felt it wasn’t worth consideration.

C.She thought it was most important. D.She insisted on taking it seriously.

    If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning English. They are reading ,listening, speaking and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.

Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passage or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.

As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.

For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.

If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.

1.According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?

A.Reading and listening.

B.Reading and writing.

C.Writing and speaking.

D.Speaking and listening.

2.To improve your reading, when you read you should ________.

A.look up all the new words in the dictionary

B.think about what you are reading actively

C.spend more time studying grammar

D.copy as many words and sentences as possible

3.The author seems to agree with the view that _________.

A.everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day

B.You needn’t practice listening if you keep on reading every day

C.being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening

D.you should take notes of whatever you are hearing

4.The passage is mainly about how to _________.

A.choose suitable listening materials

B.deal with new words in reading

C.improve your English as quickly as possible

D.become fluent in speaking and writing English

Have you ever wondered why there are so many skin colors in the world? Do you know why people living in particular areas usually have a certain color? Biology and history are the two reasons for this.

Skin contains something called melanin, which determines a person’s skin color. The more melanin a person has, the darker his or her skin will be. The amount of and the production of melanin are controlled by genetics, but can be affected by other things, such as sunlight. If a person lives in a place with less sunlight, a person’s body will produce less melanin, making the skin lighter.

Skin color is also affected by another source ---- vitamin D. humans all need vitamin D to build bones. People can get it by eating foods such as fish and milk, or from sunlight, so sunlight absorbed by melanin cannot be used for vitamin D production. Therefore, a dark—skinned person will produce less vitamin D than a light—skinned person when they received the same amount of sunlight.

The connection between vitamin D production and skin color is clear when we look at evolution. The earliest humans lived in Africa, their dark skin produced less vitamin D because of their dark skin. As a result, their skin made less melanin, so they could get enough sunlight to produce vitamin D. their skin gradually got lighter and they lost hair. Now, people living in areas with strong sunlight like Africa, have darker skin, while people living in other areas have lighter skin. The exception to this is the Inuit, who live in a place with little sunlight, but have dark skin because they eat a lot of fish and have enough vitamin D.

Evolution has given us a rainbow of skin colors. Humans have always had melanin to determine our skin color. What has changed through history is the environment where we have lived. This has in turn changed our melanin production, and eventually, skin color.

    A research by the National Center for Health Statistics is seen as an important confirmation of the “Hispanic mortality paradox(西班牙裔死亡率悖论).”

On average, Hispanics outlive whites by 2.5 years and blacks by 7.7 years. Their life expectancy at birth in 2006 was 80.6 years, compared with 78.1 for whites, 72.9 for blacks and 77.7 years for the total population.

The report shows that the Hispanic population has higher life expectancy at birth and at almost every age despite a socioeconomic status lower than that of whites. “Mortality is very correlated with income, education and health care access,” says Elizabeth Arias, author of the report. “You would expect the Hispanic population would have higher mortality, in line with the black population.”

The Hispanic paradox has been documented for more than two decades, but this is the first time the government has had enough data to issue national numbers. Researchers are struggling to explain why Hispanics live longer.

“We don’t know,” says David Hayes-Bautista, director of the Center for the Study of Latino Health and Culture at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine. “We thought it was a problem in the data, but we can pretty much say this is real.”

Potential factors:

·Culture and lifestyle. Support from extended family and lower rates of smoking and drinking. Latino groups in particular have very strong family and social ties.

·Migration. The “healthy migrant effect” argues that healthy people are more likely to emigrate. And when immigrants become ill, they might return home and die there.

“Solving the puzzle may help the nation deal with health care issues because Hispanics use health services less—they make fewer doctors visits and spend less time in hospitals,” Hayes Bautista says. “It’s clearly something in the Latino culture,” he says.

1.In 2006, Hispanics’ life expectancy is   years longer than the average of the total population.

A.2. 5 B.7. 7 C.2. 9 D.80. 6

2.What does the underlined word “outlive” in the second paragraph probably mean?

A.To live longer than. . .

B.To live shorter than. . .

C.To die out.

D.To expect to live.

3.What is the main idea of paragraph three?

A.Hispanics were born better than whites.

B.Morality is closely related with health care access.

C.Whites should have longer life expectancy.

D.Even experts can’t explain the phenomenon.

4.What is Mr. Hayes-Bautista’s opinion about the paradox?

A.He supports there is a problem with the data.

B.He intends to trust the cultural factor.

C.He believes in the “healthy migrant effect”.

D.He thinks health care the most important factor.

• 95 Eastern and Western Europeans

• 84 Latin Americans

• 55 former Soviets (including Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, and other national groups)

The people of the village would speak:

• 165 Mandarin

• 86 English

The above list covers the mother tongues of only half the village.

One-third of the people in the village are children, and only 60 are over the age of 65. Just under half of the married women in the village have access to modem equipments.

This year 28 babies will be born. Ten people will die, 3 of them for lack of food, 1 from can­cer. Two of the deaths will be of babies born within the year. With the 28 births and 10 deaths, the population of the village next year will be 1,018.

In this village of 1,000 persons, 200 people receive 75 percent of the income; another 200 re­ceive only 2 percent of the income.

About one-third have access to clean, safe drinking water.

Of the 670 adults in the village, half can not read nor write.

The village has a total yearly budget , public and private, of over $3 million—$ 3 ,000 per person if it is distributed evenly. Of the total $3 million:

$ 181,000 goes to weapons and warfare

$ 159,000 to education

$ 132,000 to health care

    World Expo 2010 Shanghai China is to be staged in Shanghai from May 1 to October 31, 2010. If you plan to visit the Shanghai Expo this summer, China Pavilion is a must-see area for you.

China Pavilion, which is called Oriental Crown (东方之冠), is located at the center of the Expo site. Standing 63 meters tall, the China Pavilion takes the shape of an emperor’s crown, with the upper layers larger than the lower ones. Covering 160,000 square meters in floor space, the pavilion consists of a national hall and a regional hall. Construction on the China Pavilion began on December 18, 2007. The design of the China Pavilion was picked from a total of 344 designs put forward by Chinese from around the world. The pavilion possesses both traditional and modern features, which helps develop the theme of the 2010 Expo“Better City, Better Life”. For example, it is red in appearance, which contains the elements of traditional Chinese culture, and it is green indoors, with the use of energy-saving techniques. The Shanghai World Expo is expected to attract 70 million visitors from across the globe. It is estimated that 400,000 people will visit the Expo and its 140 pavilions every day during the period, but the China Pavilion is only able to receive about one tenth of the total. How to accommodate so many people in the pavilion remains a tough task. Luckily, the China Pavilion is built as a permanent landmark.

During the Expo, the main structure will be used for an exhibition based on the theme of “Chinese wisdom in urban development” by explaining the values of harmony, nature and spirit. The three-story pavilion has three sections. The top floor’s “Footprint of the East” will show some of the changes in Chinese cities. There, you can see a film which shows how Chinese cities have changed, especially in the past 30 years. According to Lu Chuan, director of the film, the scenery is like something from Lord of the Rings. On the second floor, “Journey of Wisdom” will explain China’s four great inventions. And the ground’s “Blossoming City” will display scenes from cities of the future.

1.Which of the following words can be used to describe the China Pavilion?

A.Tiny. B.Round.

C.Exotic (异国情调的). D.Environmentally-friendly.

2.From the passage, we can infer that   .
