第二節(jié)簡(jiǎn)答題（共4小題; 10分）
閱讀短文，根據(jù)所要求的字?jǐn)?shù)回答問(wèn)題。
TV viewers may no longer be able to hear English abbreviations (縮寫(xiě)), like "NBA" (National Basketball Association), from mainland broadcasters.
China Central Television (CCTV) and Beijing Television (BTV) confirmed to China Daily on Tuesday that they had received a notice from a related government department, asking them to avoid using certain English abbreviations in Chinese programs.
The channels, however, did not reveal exactly how many English abbreviations are listed in the notice.
The notice not only limits the use of English abbreviations in sports news, but also in economic and political news. Abbreviations such as "GDP" (gross domestic product), "WTO" (World Trade Organization) and "CPI" (consumer price index) will also be substituted（代替）with their Chinese pronunciations, it said.
The move comes after a growing number of national legislators（立法委員）and political advisors called for preventive measures to preserve（保存）the purity of the Chinese language.
"If we don't pay attention and don't take measures to stop mixing Chinese with English, the Chinese language won't remain pure in a couple of years," said Huang Youyi, editor-in-chief of the China International Publishing Group and secretary-general of the Translators' Association of China.
The restricted use of English abbreviations on Chinese television programs has provoked a debate among scholars.
"It makes no sense to introduce a regulation to prevent the use of English in the Chinese language in the face of globalization（全球化）," Liu Yaoying, a professor at the Communication University of China, said on Tuesday. "It is cultural conservatism（保守主義）。"
"If Western countries can accept some Chinglish words, why can't the Chinese language be mixed with English?"
86. What does the government tell TV stations to do in the notice? (no more than 12 words)
_________________________________________________.
87. In what TV programs English abbreviations are limited? (List three of them)
_________________________________________________.
88. According to Huang Youyi’s opinion, why should we stop using English abbreviations?
(no more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________.
89. “Chinglish” in the last sentence means __________________. (no more than 10 words)

Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days，but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher．
If I have learned anything in my 16 years，it is that communication is very important，both when you disagree and when you get along．With any relationship，you need to let the other person know how you are feeling．If you are not able to communicate，your relationship drifts apart．When you are mad at your parents or anyone else，not talking to them doesn’t solve anything．
Communication begins with the concerns of another．It means that you can’t just come home from school，go up to your room and talk to nobody．Even if you just say “Hi” and see how their day is for five minutes，it is better than nothing．
If you look up the word “communication” in the dictionary，it will say “the exchange of ideas，conveyance (傳遞) of information，correspondence (通信)，means of communication；a letter or message”．To keep a good relationship，you must keep the communication strong．Let people know how you feel，even if it’s just by writing a note．
When dealing with parents，you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as parents．If you are trying to make them see something as you see it，tell them that you listen to what they have to say，but ask them politely to listen to you．Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse．
Here is an example．One night，Sophie went to a street party with her friends．She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks．but they didn’t feel she could just ask to go home．That would be rude．After all，they had been nice enough to take her along with them．Needless to say，she was late getting home．Her parents were mad at first，but when Sophie explained why she was late，they weren’t as mad and let the incident go．Communication was the key factor here．If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen，Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble．
Communication isn’t a one-way deal．It goes both ways．Just remember：if you get into a situation like Sophie’s，telling the other person how you feel and listening are key factors to communication．
68．The second paragraph mainly talks about ________．
A．the importance of friendship
B．making your feelings known to others
C．the importance of communication
D．the disagreement between generations
69．The key to happy relationship between parents and children is that _______．
A．children should always obey their parents
B．parents play the leading part
C．parents should mind their own business
D．both should make the other know their feelings
70．The example in the passage proves that ________．
A．Sophie’s parents were willing to listen to her
B．Sophie was very polite to her parents
C．Sophie did the right thing when she explained the reason of her being late
D．communication is the key to solving misunderstanding
71．All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ________．
A．if you don’t agree with others，you’d better let them know
B．it is better to say “Hi” to others than to say nothing
C．if you are too busy to communicate，just walk away
D．communication is a two-way deal

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality （個(gè)性）, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general（將軍）．  71  ．
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian （百姓的） clothes．People expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform．  72   ．Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform．What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity （職業(yè)身份） than to step out of uniform?

Among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them．Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement．  74  ．
75  ．Though they are long-lasting, often their initial（最初的） expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes．Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes．

In the early part of the twentieth century, racism was widespread in the United States. Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment. Marian Anderson (1897-1993) was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism. She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood. When she applied for admission to a
local music school in 1917, she was turned down because she was black. Unable to attend music school, she began her career as a singer for church gatherings. In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there. Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe. Then she returned to the US in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City.
Racism again affected Anderson in 1939. When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color. She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75 000 people. In 1955, Anderson became the first black soloist to sing win the Metropolitan Opera of New York City. The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “heard only once in a hundred years”. She was a US delegate to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解


Forty years ago, Rachel Carson died and the Pittsburgh area lost perhaps its most influential citizen. A native of a Pennsylvania College for Women graduate, Carson published “Silent Spring” in 1962, a work that launched the modern environmental movement and led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as well as the passage of our major environmental laws.
However, there has been a puzzling and troubling trend in recent years: an attack on her theory by conservatives and the agrochemical (農(nóng)用化學(xué)品) industry. For example, Rush Limbaugh gave the following quiz: “Who caused more deaths: Adolf Hitler or RachelCarson?” Limbaugh's answer was Carson, due to the approximately 100 million deaths from malaria (瘧疾) since 1972, the year in which the pesticide (殺蟲(chóng)劑）DDT was banned for use in the United States in part as a result of “Silent Spring.”
Therefore, on this 40th anniversary of Carson's death, we need to take a scientific look at the myths that remain about pesticides.
Myth 1: Pesticide usage has declined since 1962. In fact, pesticide usage has more than doubled since 1962, and the global pesticide industry currently uses over 2.5 million tons of pesticides each year. Even DDT is still used abroad.
Myth 2: Pesticides are safe. In fact, as Carson warned us, these poisonous chemicals are unsafe since they are designed to kill biological organisms, but are often not specific in their targets. Pesticide exposure can cause skin irritation, headache, cancer and even death. According to the WHO, over 25 million people a year in developing countries suffer severe acute pesticide poisonings with over 20,000 deaths.
Of the 80,000 pesticides and other chemicals in use today, 10 percent are recognized as carcinogens (致癌物質(zhì)). According to recent studies, brain cancer rates are five times higher in homes with “no-pest” strips and six times higher in homes where pets wear flea collars (殺蚤頸圈). Our homes have pesticide concentrations 10 to 100 times higher than outdoors.
So, if Carson were with us today, still battling the agrochemical industry that spent millions of dollars, what would she be advocating? I feel confident that she would be a strong supporter of a new principle of chemical assessment.  
Simply put, this principle requires producers of pesticides to prove that they are safe and necessary before they are put on the market. Our current system puts the burden of proof on government and scientists to prove that a pesticide is dangerous and poses an “unacceptable risk” before it can be pulled from the market.
57.   Limbaugh attacked Carson because he thought that _____.
A. “Silent Spring” had caused in part the 100 million deaths from malaria
B. she was supporting the production of poisonous pesticides
C. “Silent Spring” was originated from Hitler’s writings
D. she had not cared for the 100 million deaths from malaria
58.   Which of the following is the content of Myth 1?
A. The production of pesticides has doubled during the past 40 years.
B. 2.5 million tons of pesticides have been produced since 1962.
C. The usage of pesticides has been dropping since 1962.
D. Pesticides have become less poisonous since 1962.
59.   The author mentions “flea collars” in the sixth paragraph to indicate _____.
A. pesticides contribute to the development of cancer
B. the close connection between them and dog cancer rates
C. the medical effect of flea collars on dogs
D. flea collars contribute to high pesticide concentrations indoors
60.   What is the suggested new practice of chemical assessment?
A. Government should prove a pesticide is unsafe.
B. Scientists should be responsible for writing assessment reports.
C. Producers of pesticides should provide proof of their safety.
D. A special committee should be set up for chemical assessment.
