2. 固定結(jié)構(gòu)whether…or not是否；句意：所以瑞典的國王決心要查明這是否正確。

3. 本句中的定語從句who in prison at a time中缺少主語，所以使用關(guān)系代詞who指代先行詞在句中做主語并引導(dǎo)定語從句。

4. 固定搭配order sb to do sth命令某人做某事；其中的不定式to do sth是賓語補足語。

5. 固定搭配at that time在那時。句意：碰巧在那時監(jiān)獄里有兩個兄弟。

6. 本文是介紹的是茶葉和咖啡被引進瑞典的故事，所以全文都應(yīng)該使用一般過去時，所以使用lived。

7. 固定搭配at the age of…在…歲時；

8. 本句中even修飾比較級。

9. 固定搭配one of…后面的名詞要使用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain, Its first use was as a shade against the sun! Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the eleventh century BC.

We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.

In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.

During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.

By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.

Who taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a child? Your teacher at school? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language.

There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.

Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangers of “ mono-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?

Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? I would have thought the other way around(相反) although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India ( where many of them speak at least some English) and Pakistan( the same situation with India) ...

If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonalds burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(占主導(dǎo)地位的), it will kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.

When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose,” he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of roses?”

Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me.

1.By saying “ Ask the people of India... and Pakistan” ( in Paragraph 4) , the author is trying to show that_______.

A. speaking the same language doesn’t necessarily bring peace

B. wars can destroy the relationship between two countries

C. English doesn’t kill other languages

D. English is widely used in the world

2.What does “garden” in the last two paragraphs stand for（代表）?

A. Language. B. Family. C. The world. D. The universe.

3.The author would probably agree that_________.

A. it’s very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a garden

B. it’s good for people from other countries to learn English

C. more and more people like to plant roses in their gardens

D. English is easier to learn than other languages

4.This passage is mainly about________.

A. why English has become a global language

B. how many people in the world speak English

C. how people in the world learn English as a foreign language

D. whether we need to worry about English being a world language

After a while, Tommy’s parents, who had recently separated, would arrive for a meeting on his failing schoolwork and bad behavior. Neither parent knew that I had called the other.

Tommy, an only child, had always been a happy, cooperative and top student. How could I make his father and mother believe that his recent failing grades meant a broken-hearted child’s reaction to his parents’ separation and divorce (離婚)?

Tommy’s mother entered and took one of the chairs. Soon the father arrived. Good! At least they were enough to be here in time. They ignored each other.

As I gave a detailed introduction of Tommy’s behavior and schoolwork, I waited for the right words to bring these two together to help them see what they were doing to their son. But somehow the words wouldn’t come. Perhaps if they saw one of his dirty, carelessly done papers?

I found a sheet in the back of his desk. Writing covered both sides: not the exercises, but a single sentence scribbled (胡寫亂畫) over and over.

Silently I gave it to Tommy’s mother. She read it and then handed it to her husband. Then his face softened.

At last he folded (折疊) the paper carefully, placed it in his pocket, and reached for his wife’s hand. She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled up at him. He helped with her coat and they left together.

In his own way God had given me the words to reunite that family. He had guided me to the sheet of yellow copy paper covered with the pain outpouring of a small boy’s troubled heart.

The words are “Dear Mom… Dear Daddy… I love…”

1.How did Tommy’s parents feel after seeing the words?

A. Glad. B. Worried.

C. Moved. D. Happy.

2.The author called Tommy’s parents in order to _______.

A. blame Tommy for his failing grades

B. ask them the reason for their divorce

C. help them realize their influence on Tommy

D. solve the couple’s problem of separation

3.Why did Tommy fail his recent grades?

A. Because he was greatly influenced by his parents.

B. Because he was punished by his teacher.

C. Because he wrote to his parents very often.

D. Because he did one of his dirty, careless papers.

4.This passage is most probably written by _______.

A. a reporter B. a teacher

C. a lawyer D. a doctor
