25、 on the linguistic（语言学的）front, a role that is41 overlooked by many people who believe English victory is on the go. Since the advent (来临) of World Wide Web, many minority 42 ，those spoken by single nations or ethnic groups, have enjoyed a dramatic upsurge(急剧上升)in vitality. Many such tongues were 43
26、endangered just a decade ago. Late-century mobility and economic currents were taking more and more speakers out of their communities and away from fellow speakers. Languages were 44 at an alarming rate.Like biological extinction, linguistic extinction is a serious loss for all of humankind. Languag
27、es are some of the 45 ways people maintain their culture and are crucial to understanding other cultures. When fewer and fewer people share a 46 language, it may die, and when it does, part of our collective human culture dies with itSurprisingly, though, the Internet has become a valuable tool for
28、47 endangered languages. Speakers of these languages not only have been particularly active in putting up web pages in their various languages, but also in mounting (配置) 48 effective, large-scale dictionary and language-learning projects online. There is no reason why minority languages cannot live
29、together with a common social language like English. Indeed, the Internet offers more hope for their 49 than they have ever known before, especially as translation tools become more effective.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words
30、or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The past 20 years have produced great advances in technology and communications. 50 , people throughout the world have become ever more connected. The 51 link between the nations and people of the
31、world is called globalization. It is a 52 that has changed ways of life around the world.Perhaps the biggest change in this process is the effect of globalization on commerce. In an effort to build a 53 economy, most nations of the world have embraced (拥抱) free trade. Free trade removes certain limi
32、ts imposed (强加) on global commerce to make it easier for nations to exchange goods with one another. A 54 aim of this process is to aid poor nations and thus reduce 55 . Globalization has indeed increased trade throughout the world, but experts disagree about its effect on the poor.The debate about
33、recent trends in global commerce is complex. Those 56 free trade in the global market point out that competition lowers prices. Its critics argue that, without controls, such a system often harms poor nations. To some extent, both are 57 . For example, in Jamaica, a country which imported milk from
34、the United States and the 58 milk was cheaper than local milk, more poor people could drink milk and improve their nutrition. At the same time, the cheaper milk put 59 dairy farmers out of business. Perhaps this program caused as much harm as60 .Those who support free trade in the global market do s
35、o for a number of reasons. Studies show that when a poor nation begins trading on the global level, it gains certain 61 . Its economy grows rapidly. Multinational companies set up factories, 62 jobs for people. Supporters claim that these factors reduce poverty and lessen the gap between the richest
36、 and poorest nations. They believe that the globalizing trend benefits the poor.Critics of unrestricted free trade question these conclusions. Although they 63 that the global market can offer growth and jobs to poor nations, they doubt that it reduces poverty. In fact, they cite (引述) studies which
37、show that poverty has increased as a result of the global market. 64 , the gap between rich and poor nations is growing.Regardless of which side they are on, most experts believe that globalization has great potential to aid the poor. Both sides need to find a way to make it work.50. A. In conclusio

On averageSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statement
41、s. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh s
42、uit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes - khaki pants and sports shirt - to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “Im working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their o
43、ffice workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Frid
44、ay”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees h as really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that its easier for a company to attract new employee
45、s if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative (保守的) dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable cl
46、othes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers say that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale (士气). Only 4 percent of employers say that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual d
47、ress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”65. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because _.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports s
48、hirtB. he couldnt stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD. he didnt want to spend much money on clothes66. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _.A. they make him feel at ease when working B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks attractive in casual clothes D. he no longer works in that company67. According to this passage, which of th
