Can we imagine life without paper or print?Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper

14、to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there werent many books, few people learned to read.Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th cent

15、ury, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.

20、ters have already replaced books.B Dubai is a city of big business, expensive hotels, skyscrapers (摩天楼), and shopping malls. In the early 20th century, Dubai was a successful trading port. People from the world stopped in Dubai to do business. But it was still a small city, and most people lived as

21、fishermen and businessmen. Then in 1966, oil was discovered. This brought a lot of money into the area, and soon Dubai began to change. Today Dubai is one of the worlds most important business centers. In fact, each year the city gets its money mainly from business, not oil. Recently Dubai has attra

22、cted more and more visitors from abroad. They come to relax on its beaches, and every year, millions visit just to go shopping! Dubai is also one of the worlds fastest growing cities. Many tall buildings are built in months. The city also has many man-made islands. One of these, the Palm Jumeirah, i

23、s like a palm tree (棕桐树) and is very beautiful. The city is still an amazing mix (混合体) of people from different countries. The people from 150 countries live and work in Dubai, and foreigners now outnumber Dubai natives ( 本地人) by eight to one! Many people welcome the citys growth. But an increasing

24、number of Dubai natives worry about the speed of change. As a Dubai native says, “We must always remember where we came from. Our kids must know we worked very, very hard to get where we are now, and theres a lot more work to do.”班级： 姓名： 分数： 41. Why did people stop in Dubai in the early 20th century

25、? A. To relax B. To buy oil. C. To go shopping. D. To do business.42. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Dubai has created many man-made islands.B. There are many foreigners working in Dubai.

Dubai is growing very fast. B. Dubai was a big city before 1966. C. Many tall buildings are built in months. D. Many touri

28、sts come to relax on Dubais beaches. C Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens tha

29、t a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost. Many roads and places in Singapore(新加坡) are named in order that the pioneers will b

30、e remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries - in both the West and the East. Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between

31、 the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus - obviously name

32、d by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel. Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During

33、 the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road. A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent(月牙) because it begin

34、s on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again. 46. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _. A. the government is usually the first to name a place B. many places tend to have more than one name C. a ceremony will be held when a place is named D. people prefer the place nam

35、es given by the government 47. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Change suddenly. B. Change significantly. C. Disappear mysteriously. D. Disappear very slowly. 48. Which of the following places is named after a person? A. Raffles Place. B.Selector Airbase. C

36、. Piccadilly Circus. D. Paya Lebar Crescent. 49. Bras Basah Road is named _. A. after a person B. after a place C. after an activity D. by its shape 50. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain. B. Some places in Singapore are named for milit

37、ary purposes. C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique. D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.D I am a writer. I spend a great deal of my time thinking about the power of languagethe way it can evoke(唤起) an emotion, a visual image, a complex idea, or a simple truth. Language i

38、s the tool of my trade. And I use them allall the Englishes I grew up with. Born into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, Ive been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as “broken” English. But feel embarrassed t

39、o say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than “broken”, as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness. Ive heard other terms used, “limited English,” for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited,

40、including peoples perceptions(认识)of the limited English speaker. I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mothers “limited” English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because

41、she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not

42、 hear her. I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I wont get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for lack of a better term might be described as “broken”, and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese,

43、 her internal(内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts. 51. By saying “Language is

44、the tool of my trade”, the author means that _. A. she uses English in foreign trade B. she is fascinated by languages C. she works as a translator D. she is a writer by profession 52. The author used to think of her mothers English as _. A. impolite B. amusing C. imperfect D. practical 53. Which of

45、 the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 3? A. Americans do not understand broken English. B. The authors mother was not respected sometimes. C. The author mother had positive influence on her. D. Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts. 54. The author gradually realizes her mothers E

46、nglish is _. A. well structured B. in the old style C. easy to translate D. rich in meaning 55. What is the passage mainly about? A. The changes of the authors attitude to her mothers English. B. The limitation of the authors perception of her mother. C. The authors misunderstanding of “limited” Eng

47、lish. D. The authors experiences of using broken English.第卷注意事项：1用黑色墨水的钢笔或签字笔将答案写在答题卡上。2本卷共6小题，共35分。第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。In college, Spring Break（春假）is usually associated with the beach, parties and sleepless nights, bringing about relaxation, free time and friendsStu
