beenahistoryofconstantchange-attimesaslow,almostimperceptiblechange,atothertimesaviolentcollisionbetweentwolanguages.我們語(yǔ)言的歷史是一個(gè)不斷變化的歷史——在一些時(shí)間里緩慢得幾乎難以察覺(jué)，在另一些時(shí)間里則是兩種語(yǔ)言的激烈碰撞。由此可以推斷一些其他的語(yǔ)言對(duì)英語(yǔ)的發(fā)展有重大影響，選項(xiàng)B符合文章的意思。4.D詞匯題。此題考查考生的推測(cè)能力和詞匯量，文章的具體細(xì)節(jié)，最適當(dāng)?shù)拇鸢笐?yīng)該是D。作者很可能是一位語(yǔ)言學(xué)家。A答案(歷史學(xué)家)和C答案(人類學(xué)家)也可以有點(diǎn)迷惑性。B答案(哲學(xué)家)是最不符合的。5.C主旨題。本文從各個(gè)方面談及英語(yǔ)作為一種語(yǔ)言的發(fā)展變化，但并不是講述英語(yǔ)的歷史。所以選項(xiàng)A不對(duì)，選項(xiàng)C作為文章的題目最為貼切。選項(xiàng)B只是文章闡述的一個(gè)方面，不夠全面。文章是在談到英語(yǔ)的不斷變化的時(shí)候談到了現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)的一些特點(diǎn)，所以選項(xiàng)D也失之于片面。英語(yǔ)B級(jí)考試閱讀理解專項(xiàng)練習(xí)題及答案解析（2）來(lái)源：考試百科更新時(shí)間：2011-4-2011:02:35【考試百科：中國(guó)教育考試第一門戶】【摘要】

Vocabulary1.dynamicadj.動(dòng)態(tài)的2.variablen.變量3.aestheticsn.美學(xué)4.factualadj.事實(shí)的5.interpretativeadj.解釋的6.convergev.聚合7.transplantv.移植8.myopian.近視9.adversaryn.對(duì)手長(zhǎng)難句解析①【解析】此句雖然很長(zhǎng)，但考生只要認(rèn)清它的主干，就很容易了解本句的意思。這個(gè)句子為一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句，主語(yǔ)為：“thissystem”，謂語(yǔ)為“isshaped”?！咀g文】特定社會(huì)成員特點(diǎn)構(gòu)成的行為方式體系不斷地被一系列動(dòng)態(tài)變量所左右：如語(yǔ)言、信仰、價(jià)值與態(tài)度、禮儀與風(fēng)俗、審美、技術(shù)、教育及社會(huì)體制。答案與詳解【短文大意】本文主要作的影響，文中列舉了商界中存在的對(duì)于文化多樣性的兩種觀點(diǎn)。1.C推斷題。意為“對(duì)在商業(yè)中怎樣對(duì)待文化有著不同意見(jiàn)”。文化在商業(yè)中是一個(gè)很具挑戰(zhàn)性的因素。不同的國(guó)家與地區(qū)可能會(huì)有不同的文化體系。在商業(yè)中，應(yīng)該怎樣對(duì)待不同的文化，商業(yè)界存在著不同的看法。2.Ａ細(xì)節(jié)題。意為“……與同意世界商業(yè)一體化的派別的主張是一致的”。Pepsi采納的是國(guó)際化的商業(yè)風(fēng)格，這與那些主張國(guó)際化的派別的意見(jiàn)是相一致的。3.C推斷題。意為“承認(rèn)商業(yè)世界中文化的多元性”。兩個(gè)派別都承認(rèn)商業(yè)世界中文化的多元性。他們的不同在于，應(yīng)該對(duì)待不同的文化，應(yīng)該搞國(guó)際化還是對(duì)不同的文化采取不同的策略。4.D主旨題。由文中的例子可以知道，研究多種文化形態(tài)，而是文化背景對(duì)商業(yè)運(yùn)作的影響。所以D是正確答案。5.Ｂ細(xì)節(jié)題。意為“都具有耐心這一素質(zhì)”。司的海外收入都占總收入的20%或以上。它們也不一定全都接納海外的當(dāng)?shù)匚幕?，或是采納國(guó)際化策略。英語(yǔ)B級(jí)考試閱讀理解專項(xiàng)練習(xí)題及答案解析（3）來(lái)源：考試百科更新時(shí)間：2011-4-2011:02:35【考試百科：中國(guó)教育考試第一門戶】【摘要】

Vocabulary1.barrenadj.貧瘠的2.fabulousadj.神話般的，難以置信的3.lurevt.誘惑，引誘4.depositn.沉淀，儲(chǔ)蓄5.grubstakev.下注長(zhǎng)難句解析①【解析】“It”是形式主語(yǔ)，真正的主語(yǔ)是“to”后面的句子，“while”引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句?！咀g文】他的人“下注”，說(shuō)得更明確一點(diǎn)就是泰勃供給這些人食品、用品等物品，作為回報(bào)，當(dāng)他們采到礦后就會(huì)分給他一部分股份。答案與詳解【短文大意】本文主要講述霍塞斯·奧斯汀·沃納·泰勃發(fā)家的故事。1.C細(xì)節(jié)題。因?yàn)長(zhǎng)eadville可以為Tabor帶來(lái)巨富。這一點(diǎn)不是Leadville得名的原因，因?yàn)樵谖恼碌诙沃?，講到這一點(diǎn)時(shí)，提及三個(gè)原因：A.因?yàn)門abor成為當(dāng)?shù)氐木用翊砣宋铮珺.因?yàn)樵贚eadville有豐富的鉛的儲(chǔ)藏量。D.因?yàn)長(zhǎng)eadville是因?yàn)門abor重要而起的名，唯獨(dú)C沒(méi)有，因?yàn)榈胶髞?lái)發(fā)現(xiàn)是銀礦才給他帶來(lái)巨富。2.D詞匯題。第二段中g(shù)rubstake的詞義與D所述內(nèi)容是相同的，即“供給探礦者資金，衣物，食品以及其他物品”。(可參閱英華大辭典修訂第二版64頁(yè))但此處還補(bǔ)充地講，作為回報(bào)，供給者可以獲得礦中資源一定份額。(見(jiàn)文章第二段第4行)3.A細(xì)節(jié)題。Tabor第一次真正供資助，為此他獲得他們礦資源三分之一的股份。見(jiàn)文章第三段4-9行內(nèi)容：兩名開(kāi)礦者從Tabor那兒借走價(jià)值17美元的物品，作為回報(bào)，Tabor獲得他們礦資源三分之一股份。于是兩位開(kāi)礦者在一座山旁的不毛之地開(kāi)始挖掘，九天之后，發(fā)現(xiàn)了銀的富礦，于是Tabor又將兩人的股份全買下，這樣，銀礦屬于Tabor一個(gè)人所有，這個(gè)礦就是后來(lái)著名的“匹茲堡”礦。Tabor用17美元的投資換來(lái)了130萬(wàn)美元的收獲。4.B推斷題。由原文可知泰勃的財(cái)產(chǎn)來(lái)源是有一定偶然性的，但是畢竟也是基于他開(kāi)創(chuàng)的“grubstake”模式，因?yàn)锳、D都不對(duì)，C更是沒(méi)有根據(jù)，因?yàn)樗€沒(méi)有娶第二位夫人這一切就發(fā)生了。分析泰勃的做法，會(huì)得出B選項(xiàng)所示的結(jié)論。5.B推斷題。如果本文是一篇文章的第一部分，那么在文章的第二部分將介紹誰(shuí)呢?key可以從文章第一句分析出來(lái)，在Leadville的黃金年代，其多彩的特點(diǎn)當(dāng)中，Tabor及其第二任妻子ElizabethMcCourt是值得大書(shū)特書(shū)的，接著，文章都在講述有關(guān)H.A.W.Tabor發(fā)家致富的歷史，如先買下匹茲堡礦，后又買下Matchless礦，最后成為市長(zhǎng)，代理州長(zhǎng)，等等，人公，因此下邊再講的話，應(yīng)成為女主人公即ElizabethMcCourt的天地了，她是Tabor的第二任妻子。這是順理成章的事。英語(yǔ)B級(jí)考試閱讀理解專項(xiàng)練習(xí)題及答案解析（4）來(lái)源：考試百科更新時(shí)間：2011-4-2011:02:35【考試百科：中國(guó)教育考試第一門戶】【摘要】
