模擬試題1：
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
Language is, and should be, a living thing, constantly enriched with new words and forms of expression. But there is a vital distinction between good developments, which add to the language, enabling us to say things we could not say before, and bad developments, which subtract from the language by rendering it less precise. A vivacious, colorful use of words is not to be confused with mere slovenliness. The kind of slovenliness in which some professionals deliberately indulge is perhaps akin to the cult (迷信) of the unfinished work, which has eroded most of the arts in our time. And the true answer to it is the same that art is enhanced, not hindered, by discipline. You cannot carve satisfactorily in butter.
The corruption of written English has been accompanied by an even sharper decline in the standard of spoken English. We speak very much less well than was common among educated Englishmen a generation or two ago.
The modem theatre has played a baneful (有害的) part in dimming our appreciation of language. Instead of the immensely articulate dialogue of, for example, Shaw (who was also very insistent on good pronunciation),audiences are now subjected to streams of barely literate trivia, often designed, only too well, to exhibit lack of communication, and larded (夾雜) with the obscenities (下流的話) and grammatical errors of the intellectually impoverished. Emily Post once advised her readers: "The theatre is the best possible place to hear correctly-enunciated speech. " Alas, no more. One young actress was recently reported to be taking lessons in how to speak badly, so that she should fit in better.
But the BBC is the worst traitor. After years of very successfully helping to raise the general standard of spoken English, it suddenly went into reverse. As the head of the Pronunciation Unit coyly (含蓄地) put it, "In the 1960s the BBC opened the field to a much wider range of speakers." To hear a BBC disc jockey talking to the latest ape-like pop idol is a truly shocking experience of verbal squalor. And the prospect seems to be of even worse to come. School teachers are actively encouraged to ignore little Johnnys incoherent grammar, atrocious spelling and haphazard punctuation, because worrying about such things might inhibit his creative genius.
61. The writer relates linguistic slovenliness to tendencies in the arts today in that they both __________.
A. occasionally aim at a certain fluidity
B. appear to shun perfection
C. from time to time show regard for the finishing touch
D. make use of economical short cuts
62. "Art is enhanced, not hindered, by discipline" (Lines 6～7, Paragraph 1 ) means __________.
A. an artists work will be finer if he observes certain aesthetic standards
B. an unfinished work is bound to be comparatively inferior
C. the skill of certain artists conceals their slovenliness
D. artistic expression is inhibited by too many roles
63. Many modem plays, the author finds, frequently contain speech which__________.
A. is incoherent and linguistically objectionable
B. is far too ungrammatical for most people to follow
C. unintentionally shocks the audience
D. tries to hide the authors intellectual inadequacies
64. The author says that the standard of the spoken English of BBC__________.
A. is the worst among all broadcasting networks
B. has raised English-speaking up to a new level
C. has taken a turn for the worse since the 1960s
D. is terrible because of a few popular disc jockeys
65. Teachers are likely to overlook the linguistic lapses in their pupils since__________.
A. they find that children no longer respond to this kind of discipline nowadays
B. they fear the children may become less coherent
C. more importance is now attached to oral expression
D. the children may be discouraged from expressing their ideas
Passage Two
【參考譯文】
語言是而且也應(yīng)該是活的，不斷有新的詞匯和表達形式來使其豐富完善。但是發(fā)展有好有壞，兩種發(fā)展有著很大區(qū)別。前者為語言注入新的東西，讓我們能夠表達出之前不能表達的東西，而后者就不一樣了.它通過減弱語言的精準(zhǔn)度而降低語言層次。對詞匯靈活、生動的使用同對詞匯邋遢、馬虎的使用是不可混為一談的。[61]有些語言工作者有意大量以邋遢、馬虎的方式使用詞匯，他們的這種做法同狂熱地迷信藝術(shù)品不需要潤飾的做法很相似，而藝術(shù)品不潤飾的做法也逐漸毀掉了我們這個時代的藝術(shù)品。[62]對于這種見象。解決的方法同藝術(shù)創(chuàng)作是一樣的：規(guī)則是對藝術(shù)的促進，而不是對藝術(shù)的阻礙。用黃油來雕刻永遠(yuǎn)也做不出令人滿意的藝術(shù)品。
伴隨著書面英語的慘淡現(xiàn)狀，英語口語的水平更是大大降低了。我們現(xiàn)在說的口語要比一兩代之前接受普通教育的英國人差很多。
我們對語言的欣賞水平越來越差，這一點，現(xiàn)代劇院難辭其咎。[63]相比以前吐字極為清晰的戲劇語言，倒如蕭伯納戲劇的語言(他本人說話時也堅持良好的發(fā)音),現(xiàn)代觀眾不得不接受的是勉強識字的人所袁述的信息，而且常常被拙劣地設(shè)計成“(現(xiàn)代人)溝通缺乏”的體現(xiàn)，很多時候還夾雜缺乏教養(yǎng)的下流言語和語法錯誤。埃米莉·波斯特曾建議她的讀者：“劇院是你最有可能聽得到清晰純正發(fā)音的場所了。”唉，如今已然不是了。最近有報道稱，為了在表演中更入戲，一名年輕女演員正在上專門教授低劣言辭的課。
但最糟糕的背叛者要數(shù)BBC了。[64]BBC曾多年如一日地幫助提升英語的口語標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。并且卓有成效但是隨后它就突然倒行逆施了。誠如英國發(fā)音部門負(fù)責(zé)人所含蓄表示的那樣：“20世紀(jì)60年代。BBC亞絲向更廣泛的講話者人群開放�！甭燘BC音樂節(jié)目主持人與猿猴一般的最新流行偶像做訪談節(jié)目，絕對是一場震撼身心的言語悲劇。不僅如此，將來的情形似乎更糟。[65]現(xiàn)在學(xué)校都積極鼓勵老師們不要苛責(zé)小孩子語法不連貫、拼寫糟糕、發(fā)音蹩腳。因為他們擔(dān)心那樣做可能會扼殺孩子的創(chuàng)造天賦。
答案解析：
61.B
定位：根據(jù)題干信息詞slovenliness和arts可將答案定位到第一段第四句。
解析：該句提到：“有些語言工作者有意大量以邋遢、馬虎的方式使用詞匯，他們的這種做法同狂熱地迷信藝術(shù)品不需要潤飾的做法很相似�！笨梢姸叩墓餐c在于都不追求完美。故選B。
62.A
定位：根據(jù)題干信息可直接將答案定位到第一段倒數(shù)第二句。
解析：第一段倒數(shù)第二句提到：And the true answer to it is the same that art is enhanced，not hindered，bydiscipline.從字面理解這句話，其意為：“……規(guī)則是對藝術(shù)的促進，而不是對藝術(shù)的阻礙。”即：沒有規(guī)矩，不成方圓;遵守規(guī)范，才會有更好的藝術(shù)。緊接著的下一句“You cannot carve sailsfactorilvinbutter.(用黃油來雕刻永遠(yuǎn)也做不出令人滿意的藝術(shù)品。)”將此意說得更明白透徹。故選A。
63.A
定位：根據(jù)題干信息modemplays可將答案定位到第三段第二句。
解析：本題是問現(xiàn)代戲劇語言具有怎樣的特點。第三段第二句提到：“相比以前吐字極為清晰的戲劇語言，現(xiàn)代觀眾不得不接受的是勉強識字的人所表述的信息，而且常常被拙劣地設(shè)計成‘(現(xiàn)代人)溝通缺乏’的體現(xiàn)，很多時候還夾雜著缺乏教養(yǎng)的下流言語和語法錯誤�！惫蔄為正確答案。incoherent和linguistically objectionable是對文中streams ofbarely fiterate trivia的同義轉(zhuǎn)述。
64.C
定位：根據(jù)題干信息詞BBC可將答案定位到最后一段前半部分。
解析：原文提到，BBC曾多年如一日地幫助提升英語的口語標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，并且卓有成效，但是隨后它就突然倒行逆施了。自20世紀(jì)60年代起，BBC開始向更廣泛的講話者人群開放。聽BBC音樂節(jié)目主持人與猿猴一般的最新流行偶像做訪談節(jié)目，絕對是一場震撼身心的言語悲劇。可見，BBC主持語言的水平從20世紀(jì)60年代起就急轉(zhuǎn)直下，故選C。
65.D
定位：根據(jù)題干信息teachers和linguistic lapses in their pupils可將答案定位到文章最后一句。
解析：文章最后提到：“現(xiàn)在學(xué)校都積極鼓勵老師們不要苛責(zé)小孩子語法不連貫、拼寫糟糕、發(fā)音蹩腳，因為他們擔(dān)心那樣做可能會扼殺孩子的創(chuàng)造天賦。”也就是說，老師們害怕過多地糾正小學(xué)生的語言問題會使他們不再勇于表達自己的觀點。故選D。
模擬試題2：
Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room. Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesnt it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating?
