The English language we know today is about six hundred years old. For half that time, English was just the language of the people living in England. The modern English language grew by about the year 1400.Now English is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is one of the working languages at international meetings, business, science and other fields.

  The differences between American English and British English are not very great. Written English is more or less the same in both Britain and America, though there are some spelling differences. For example, centre, licence, colour and travelled are spelt as center, license, color and traveled in American English. In America “ cock, rubber, ill, holiday, lorry, post...” are called “ rooster, eraser, sick, vacation, truck, mail...” But people from the two countries can still understand each other easily.

  There are only a very small number of differences in grammar between American English and British English. The most important differences are in spoken English. For example, Americans pronounce “tomato” differently from English people.

  You may wonder “ Which is correct?” The answer is that it does not matter. You should speak either American English or British English. But do not try to speak both at the same time.

When was modern English language grew?(  )

Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence (真谛) of sport—the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for entire nation's hopes, dreams and reputation.

  A good example is the World Cup soccer. Football is the world's most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina (阿根廷)to someone and the chances are that he'll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup puts Argentina on the map.

  Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.

  So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentinian really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really, but it's nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.

In the second paragraph, the word" summit" means" ____".(  )

When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for entire nation's hopes, dreams and reputation.

  A good example is the World Cup soccer. Football is the world's most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina (阿根廷)to someone and the chances are that he'll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup puts Argentina on the map.

  Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.

  So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentinian really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really, but it's nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.

What is the author's attitude towards international games?(  )

Advertisement can be thought of “as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or service”. Advertisement aims to increase people's awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The 说明:C:\Users\出版工~1\AppData\Local\Temp\1533286745(1).jpg are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumers' interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement.

  There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the Western World in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement.

  We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producers or by the customers. Since every advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is the customers who pay for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customers pay less.

  It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on increasing demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businessmen would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to them.

Advertisement is often used to ____.(  )

Animals have different ways of protecting themselves against wintertime weather. Some animals grow heavy coats of fur or feathers, while others dig into the ground to find a warm wintertime home. Some animals spend the winter in a deep sleep because by going to sleep they avoid the time of the year when food is scarce and the temperatures are low. Their sleep is known as英语(专升本),模拟考试,2021年成人高等考试《专升本英语》模拟试卷6

There is much about hibernation that puzzles scientists. For example, they are wondering how hibernation came into being. Some scientists have explored the possibility that animals release a chemical that starts them hibernating.

  One thing that scientists are certain about is that animals hibernate only when it is cold. Hibernation is a seasonal practice.

  Some animals that fall into a winter time sleep are not true hibernators because they spend only a part of the cold season asleep. Bears, for example, can easily be awakened from their winter nap. They are not true hibernators.

  Sometimes it is difficult to determine whether a particular animal is a true hibernator. For example, some mice hibernate, but others do not. The same is true of bats. Some of them hibernate. Others do not.

Researchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person's sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.

  There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.

  Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.
