3、根據(jù)材料，回答問(wèn)題。
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(huà)) 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 Johnny's incoherent grammar, atrocious spelling and haphazard punctuation, because worrying about such things might inhibit his creative genius.
The writer relates linguistic slovenliness to tendencies in the arts today in that they both __________.
A．occasionally aim at a certain fluidity
B．a(chǎn)ppear to shun perfection
C．from time to time show regard for the finishing touch
D．make use of economical short cuts

6、 中國(guó)教育工作者早就認(rèn)識(shí)到讀書(shū)對(duì)于國(guó)家的重要意義。有些教育工作者2003年就建議設(shè)立全民讀書(shū)日。他們強(qiáng)調(diào)，人們應(yīng)當(dāng)讀好書(shū)，尤其是經(jīng)典著作。通過(guò)閱讀，人們能更好地學(xué)
會(huì)感恩、有責(zé)任心和與人合作，而教育的目的正是要培養(yǎng)這些基本素質(zhì)。-閱讀對(duì)于中小學(xué)生尤為重要，假如他們沒(méi)有在這個(gè)關(guān)鍵時(shí)期培養(yǎng)閱讀的興趣，以后要養(yǎng)成閱讀的習(xí)慣就很難了。


7、西安碑林博物館創(chuàng)建于1087年，是一座藝術(shù)寶庫(kù)(treasury of art)，其中收藏有早的古代石碑。從數(shù)量上，這座博物館也是居我國(guó)同類(lèi)博物館之，保存有從漢代到清代地各代石碑共3000多塊。這里碑石如林，所以叫碑林。這里的石碑記錄了我國(guó)文化發(fā)展的部分文化成就，反映了中外文化交流的歷史，因而馳名中外。來(lái)西安旅游，如不參觀碑林，將會(huì)遺憾終生。


8、麻將是中國(guó)人主要的休閑娛樂(lè)之一。它起源于中國(guó)，其歷史可追溯到三四千年以前。麻將原是皇家和王公貴族們的游戲，在長(zhǎng)期的歷史演變過(guò)程中，逐步從宮廷流傳到民間，到清朝中期基本定型。麻將自1920年傳入美國(guó)后。受歡迎的程度并不比在中國(guó)遜色。在南加州就常常舉辦麻將比賽。有人說(shuō)，麻將之所以在國(guó)外那么受歡迎，正是源于外國(guó)人對(duì)中國(guó)古老文化的認(rèn)知和認(rèn)同(recogn i t i on and acceptance)。


9、中國(guó)是世界上發(fā)現(xiàn)與使用蠶絲早的國(guó)家，人們?cè)谒奈迩昵熬鸵呀?jīng)開(kāi)始養(yǎng)蠶了。隨著蠶絲的使用，刺繡工藝也逐漸興起。宋代時(shí)期，崇尚刺繡服裝的風(fēng)氣已逐漸在民間廣泛流行，這也促使了中國(guó)刺繡工藝(Chi nese Embroj dery)的發(fā)展。刺繡的用途廣泛，包括生活和藝術(shù)裝飾等。刺繡作為中國(guó)的民族傳統(tǒng)工藝，在國(guó)外也享有很高的聲譽(yù)，是中國(guó)文化藝術(shù)的杰出代表之一。


10、You should write an essay entitled The Value of Modesty by the commenting on the remark “Modesty is not an ornament,but also a guard to virtue.”You can give examples to illustrate your point. 寫(xiě)作導(dǎo)航 1、通過(guò)格言來(lái)詮釋謙虛的價(jià)值和意義； 2、解釋為什么謙虛能夠帶來(lái)成功，并以富蘭克林為例證； 3、得出結(jié)論，建議大家腦際謙虛，保持虛懷若谷的心態(tài)。
