Plants and Mankind
Botany， the study of pants，occupies a peculiar position in the history of human knowledge. We don‘t know what our stone Age ancestors knew about plants， but from what we can observe of preindustrial societies that still exist，a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. This is logical. Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things， even for other plants. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people， not only for food， but also for clothing，weapon， tools， dyes ， medicines， shelter， and many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge” at all.
Unfortunately，the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants ，and the less distinct out knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge， and few people will fail to recognize a rose an apple or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors， living in the Middle East about 10，000 years ago， discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season， the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flowed the marvel of agriculture： cultivated crops. From then on， humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled production of a few plants， rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wild and the accumulated knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and intimacy with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.
1. It is logical that a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
2. People cannot survive without plants.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
3. Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon teach botany to their children at school.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
4. Our direct contact with plants grows with the process of industrialization.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
5. Today people usually acquire a large amount of botanical knowledge from textbooks.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
6. People living in the Middle East first learned to grow plants for food about 10 ，000 years ago.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
7. Once mankind began farming ， they no longer had to get food from many varieties that grew wild.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned

第3部分：概括大意（第1～8題，每題1分，共8分）

English and English Community
1. There is no denying that English is a useful language. The people who speak English today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese. Originally they were small tribes of people from northern Europe who settled in England. Their languages became more and more similar to each other. Finally， the language had enough uniformity to be used by all speakers in England. The people were united into a speech community through their shared language.
2. A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities. The people who make up the community share common language. Often they live side by side， as they do in a neighborhood， a village， or a city. More often they form a whole country. National boundaries， however， are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community. A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where they happen to live.
3. We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community. For convenience， we may classify the speakers into two groups ： one in which the speakers use English as their native language， the other in which the speakers learn English as a second language for the purpose of education， commerce， and so on.
4. English serves as an alternative language in several areas of public activity for the many nations of the world which employ it as an international second language. English has been adopted as the language of air traffic， commerce， as well as international diplomacy. Moreover， English is the language of the majority of published materials in the world so that education has come to rely heavily on an understanding of English.
5. Learning second language extends one’s vision and expands the mind. The history and literature of a second language record the real and fictional lives of people and their culture; a knowledge of thhem adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they feel. Learning English as a second language provides another means of communication through which the window of the entire English speech community becomes a part of our heritage.

What Makes a Soccer Player Great？
Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world， but there have only been few players who were truly great. How did these players get that way——was it through training and practice， or are great players “born， not made”？ First， these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate （效仿）。 In the history of soccer， only six countries have ever won the World Cup-three from South America and three from Western Europe. There has never been a great national team——or a really great player from North America or from Asia. Second， these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player， as was Pele. Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.
Finally， many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood （聚居區(qū)）-a poor， crowded area where a boy’s dream is not to be a doctor， lawyer， or businessman， but to become a rich， famous athlete or entertainer. For example， Liverpool， which produced the Beatles （甲殼蟲樂隊(duì)）， had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a “ball” made of rags （破布）。 And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums （貧民窟） of Belfast.
All great players have a lot in common， but that doesn‘t explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets， but only one became Pele. The greatest players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others.
1 According to the author， which of the following statements is true？
A Great soccer players are born， not made.
B Truly great players are rare.
C Only six countries have ever had famous soccer stars.
D Soccer is the least popular sport in North America and Asia
2 The word “tricks” at the end of Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A “experience”
B “cheating”
C “skills”
D “training”
3 Pele is cited as an example in the second paragraph to illustrate that
A famous soccer players live in slum areas
B people in poor areas are born with some unique quality
C children in poor areas start playing football at the age of 3 or 4
D many great soccer players come from poor areas
4 In the last paragraph the statement “only one became Pele” indicates that
A Pele is the greatest soccer player
B the greatest players are born with some unique quality
C Pele’s birthplace sets him apart from all the other players
D the greatest players practice with “balls” made of rags
5 The author attributes a soccer player‘s success to all the following factors EXCEPT
A his family background
B his neighbourhood.
C his practice.
D his height
答案：1. B 2. C 3. D 4. B 5. D

London Cabbies（出租車司機(jī)）
Every city in the world has taxis to take tourists to interesting places.London is the only city in the world where taking a taxi is an （51）experience for tourists.This is partly because of the special black cabs，which are found in no other country.But it is also because of the drivers themselves.（52）British people are famous for being polite and reserved，London cabbies are well-known（53）their willingness to talk.
Some customers say that once the door shuts and the cab（54）off they are a captive（監(jiān)禁了的）audience.It is impossible to get the taxi driver to stop （55）?！癟hey’re self-confident and free thinking，”said Malcolm Linskey，the author of a history of taxi drivers in London.
They are also expensive.London has the most expensive taxis of any city in the world except Tokyo.That‘s why Ken Livingstone，the Mayor of London，is planning to make taxi drivers negotiate their fares with（56）before they take a ride.
Drivers agree that their fares are expensive.That’s because their black taxis（57）more than other cars，they say.And the customer is also paying for more driving expertise（專門知識(shí)）than anywhere else in the world.
Before someone can qualify as a London taxi driver，that person has to pass a test （58）simply as “The Knowledge”.This involves（59）the name and location of every street within six miles of a point in the exact centre of London.The trainee（受訓(xùn)者）must also learn the exact location of every important building within these streets.Finally he or she must be able to use this knowledge to work out the （60）distance between any two destinations within this area.
It can（61）up to three years to pass“The Knowledge”.Every day it is possible to see trainee taxi drivers on the streets of London，taking careful notes of popular destinations before tracing the route to their next stop.Cab driving is a job often（62）down in families.Many taxi drivers take their children out in their spare time to memorize（63）they need to know when it is their turn to do “The Knowledge”。
London cabbies also have bigger brains.Recent research found that the part of the brain that remembers things was larger and more（64）in cab drivers.They have to fit the whole of London into their heads，so their brains grow bigger.So perhaps it is not（65）that taxi drivers have lots to say.
