第3题

The history of English is conventionally, if perhaps too neatly, divided into three pe
riods usually called Old (or Anglo-Saxon) English, Middle English, and Modern English.The earliest period begins with the migration of certain Germanic tribes from the continent to Britain in the fifth century A.D., though no records of their language survive from before the seventh century, and it continues until the end of the eleventh century or a bit later.By that time, Latin, Old Norse (the language of the Viking invaders), and especially the Anglo-Norman French of the dominant class after the Norman Conquest in 1066 had begun to have a substantial impact on the vocabulary, and the well-developed inflectional(词尾变化的)system that typify the grammar of Old English had began to break down.

The period of Middle English extends roughly from the twelfth century through the fifteenth.The influence of French(and Latin,often by way of French)upon the vocabulary continued throughout the period,the loss of some inflections and the reduction of others accelerate, and many changes took place within the grammatical systems of the language.A typical prose passage, especially one from the later part of the period, will not have such a foreign look to us as the prose of Old English, but it will not be mistaken for contemporary writing either.

The period of Modern English extends from the sixteenth century to our own day.The early part of this period saw the completion of a revolution in vowel distribution that had began in late Middle English and that effectively brought the language to something resembling its present pattern.Other important early developments include the stabilizing effect on spelling of the printing press and the beginning of the direct influence of Latin, and to a lesser extent.Greel pm the vocabulary.Later, as English came into contact with other cultures around the world and distinctive dialects of English developed in the many areas which Britain had colonized, numerous other languages made small but interesting contributions to our word-stock.

1.The earliest writing record of English available to us started_____.

A.from the seventh century

B.from the fifth century

C.from the twelfth century

D.from the ninth century

2.What is the main features of the grammar of Old English?()

A.The influence of Latin

B.A revolution in vowel distribution

C.A well-developed inflectional system

D.Loss of some inflection

3.What can be inferred from the passage?()

A.Even an educated person cannot read old English without special training

B.A person who knows French well can understand old English

C.An educated person can understand old English but cannot pronounce it

D.A person can pronounce old English words but cannot understand them

4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned?()

A.French

B.Latin

C.Greek

D.German

5.What is the most remarkable characteristic of Modern English?()

A.Numerous additions to its vocabulary.

B.Completion of a revolution in vowel distribution.

C.Gradual changes in tis grammatical system.

Body language is the “silent language” of every culture. It is important to know the body
language of every country, or we may be misunderstood.

In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug.

Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say “Pardon me” or “Excuse me”.

Americans like to look the other person in the eye when they are talking. If you don’t do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. But when you stare at someone, it is not polite.

Learning a culture’s body language is sometimes confusing. If you don’t know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.25、Suppose you are meeting a new customer from the United States, how will you greet him?()

A. Greet him with a hug

B. Place a hand on his arm

C. Shake his hand firmly

26、Suppose you are meeting a good friend from the United States, how will you greet her?()

A. Greet her with a hug

B. Place a hand on her arm

C. Shake her hand firmly

27、If you stand too close to Americans, they will ______.

A. face you directly

B. move back

C. stare at you

28、Which of the following statements is true according to the text?()

A. Americans stand side by side when taking with friends

B. Americans show their respect by shaking hands weakly

C. Americans like to look the other person in the eye when talking

29、If you know nothing about a culture’s body language, you can ___.

A. hide your opinions

B. smile

C. stare at others

Clean Ltd was established some five years ago to manufacture industrial solvents and clean
ing solutions, and Des was appointed managing director.

The company’s main contract was with Dank plc a large industrial conglomerate.

In the course of its research activity, Clean Ltd’s scientists developed a new super glue. Des was very keen to pursue the manufacture of the glue but the board of directors overruled him and decided that the company should stick to its core business.

The managing director of Dank plc is a friend of Des’s and has told him that Dank plc will not be renewing its contract with Clean Ltd as he is not happy with its performance. He also told Des that he would be happy to continue to deal with him, if only he was not linked to Clean Ltd.

Following that discussion Des resigned from his position as managing director of Clean Ltd and set up his own company, Flush Ltd which later entered into a contract with Dank plc to replace Clean Ltd. Flush Ltd also manufactures the new glue discovered by Clean Ltd’s scientists, which has proved to be very profitable.

Required:

In the context of company law, advise the board of Clean Ltd as to whether they can take any action against Des or Flush Ltd.(10 marks)

One of the strongest reasons for the raising of the school leaving age (ROSLA.has been
One of the strongest reasons for the raising of the school leaving age (ROSLA.has been that it will bring us nearer to the ideal of “equal opportunity”.

Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children.It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is apparently so thorough.It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less rich homes reach university or do well in other ways.

Unfortunately, we now have plenty of evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could.For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all male 18-20 year olds.Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left schools at 15.

It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939.One study of 5000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old.Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.

It is clear from this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes------money, social respectability, and interesting jobs, which higher education gives.It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances.Their parents often need the extra money another wage-owner can bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy.It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “It's up to you”.

1.It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children ().

A.a more enjoyable time at school

B.the same chances in society

C.the right to a better school

D.higher scored in intelligence tests

2.People would like to think that ().

A.equal numbers of poor and rich children reach university

B.those with the least money get the best education

C.intelligent children are always chosen by the system

D.only clever children do well

3.Working class children are felt to be at a disadvantage because ().

A.many of the clever ones leave school early

B.fewer go to university than ever before

C.more than half leave school when they are 16

D.fewer boys than girls stay at school after 16

4.Many children leave school early because ().

A.their social circumstances make them unhappy

B.they have to work to support their family's income

C.their school is a dull and unhappy place

D.their parents don't allow them to make their own decisions

5.This article shows that equal opportunity in education ().

A.is a thing of the past

B.has not yet been achieved

C.is there for those who merit it

D.has greatly improved our society
