　　The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.

　　In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an enough working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.

　　The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present－day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.

　　A. The Difficulties of Learning English

　　[解題導語]　本文介紹了英語的發展變化情況，說明了英語最后成為世界語言的原因及英語在當代社會中的重要性。

　　1. 解析：選D。主旨大意題。全文講述的是英語在全世界的廣泛應用。第三段第一句又特別提出英語作為一種世界語言的原因，故選D項。A項文中并未涉及；B項和C項只是文中細節，不能概括全文。

　　2. 解析：選A。推理判斷題。根據文章第一段中第二句及第二段的第一句的描述可推知B、C兩項正確，A項錯誤。由第二、三段可知D項正確。

　　3. 解析：選D。推理判斷題。根據文章最后一段的描述，英語廣泛應用于氣象和機場的交流，國際會議和信息傳播等，可推知此題的答案為D。

　　4. 解析：選B。細節理解題。根據文章第二段最后一句可知，環境不同，所要求的英語水平等級也有所不同，因此很難判斷一個人的英語程度。故此題答案為B。

　　A,B,C或D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

　　Steven Spielberg's 2002 science-fiction thriller Minority Report produced a world where computers could read minds and predict the future. It seemed fanciful at the time, but fantasy is edging closer to fact.

　　On Jan. 3l, a team of scientist sat the UC Berkeley, led by Robert Knight programmed computers to decode (解碼) brain waves and replay them as words. Five months earlier, another group of Berkeley scientists showed their colleagues short movies and used computers to play back in color what people saw.

　　These experiments are a big advance from 2006, when a French scientist first replayed images from a human mind, a black-and-white checkerboard pattern. The possibilities are great: a disabled person could “speak”； doctors could access the mind of a patient who fainted; you could rewatch your dreams on an iPad.There are, of course, equally dark side, such as the involuntary take out of　information from the brain.

　　In spite of these breakthroughs,Jack Gallant, the neuroscientist who led the first Berkeley team, says current technology for decoding brain activity is still “relatively primitive.” The field is held back by its poor machinery, in particular the fMRI.

　　“Eventually,” says Gallant,“someone will invent a decoding machine you can wear as a hat.” Such an advance into the human mind, he says, might take 30 years.

　　Still, the recent advances at Berkeley offer small answers, which scientists can use to begin unlocking the secrets of　memory and consciousness.

　　l. What is the best title for the passage?

　　A. New technology can read your mind

　　B. Fantasy is edging closer to fact

　　C. A new discovery in human brain

　　D. The intelligent computers in the future

　　2. What did scientist sat the UC Berkeley do?

　　A. They produced a fanciful world.

　　B. They made computers jump forward like a human.

　　C. They managed to translate brain waves into language.

　　D. They used computers to make short movies.

　　3. Which of the following is impossible for the research?

　　A. It can help a disabled man recover his ability of speech.

　　B. Doctors can read a patient's mind even if he is unconscious.

　　C. People will know what happens in their dreams.

　　D. People's thoughts may be given away.

　　4. What plays a most important role in the development of the technology?

　　A. A computer.　B. An iPad.　 C.A decoding machine.D. A hat.

　　5. It can be inferred from the passage that　 .

　　A. scientists got the inspiration from a movie

　　B. the technology still has a long way to go

　　C. the technology has been put into practice

　　D. scientists have unlocked these crets of memory

　　2024高考模擬題。閱讀理解閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。Many people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, accomplishments, and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.

　　As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddy’s little girl”. While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children’s lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others’ needs ahead of your own, but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved man, but to everybody’s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.
