第4部分:阅读理解(第31~45题,每题3分,共45分)(50分钟内)
下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容,为每题确定1个最佳选项。
.A Debate on the English Language
A measure declaring English the national language is under intense debate in the United States. The US Senate passed two declarations last week. (31)One calls English the nation's official language and the other says it is the “common and unifying(统一的)” tongue. But Americans found themselves divided on the issue.
Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English, many can't understand why the issue is so controversial(有争议的).
"(33)The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues," says Dick Tucker, a social scientist at Pittsburgh's Carnegie Mellon University." It's related to a worry about the changing demography(人口统计)of the US. It's a worry about who will continue to have political and economic influence.”
(32)In fact, the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation's founding. John Adams lobbied(游说)in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language. But his proposal died, since lawmakers saw it as a royalist(保皇主义者)attempt to define personal behavior.
Since then, the country hasn't had a national language, but the idea of recognizing the special status of English lived on.
The emotions surrounding language resurface(再次浮现)not because people feel comfortable with English. It is more about the discomfort many Americans feel with the new languages, says Walt Wolfram, a professor at North Carolina State University.
"Language is never about language," he says.
According to the US Census Bureau report, (34)of 209 million Americans over 18 years old,172 million speak only English at home. About 37 million speak languages other than English. Among them,6.5 million speak poor English and 3.1 million don't speak English at all.
31.What are the two declarations concerned with?
A.The status of the English language.
B.The protection of new languages.
C.The rights to speak one's mother tongue.
D.The improvement of the English language.

Centers of the Great European Cities
(36)The centers of the great cities of Europe are meeting places by tradition. People gather there to drink coffee and chat late into the night. A mixture of locals and tourists make for an exciting, metropolitan atmosphere.
Squares, plazas(广场)and arcades(拱廊)form the heart of Europe’s cities
Venice in Italy has the Piazza San Marco—a beautiful square surrounded by snacks, churches, restaurants and cafés. In Barcelona, Spain, La Bosqueria is a lively market with hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of goods. (37)London’s Covent Garden is filled with fruit and vegetable stalls by day and musicians, acrobats(杂技演员)and artists by night. The government buildings at the center of many cities often are architecturally impressive· In London, the serve as a beautiful backdrop(背景)to the coffee tables that line the streets and the banks of the Thames. . .
These vibrant(有活力的)hearts are the product of centuries of evolution, social historian Joel Garreau told US News and World Report recently.(38) “The reason people think Venice is so great today is you don’t see all the mistakes,” said Garreau. “Those have all been removed.” Most European cities were laid out before the invention of the car, so bars, restaurants and cafés were near to people homes. Today the focus of many Europeans, life has moved away from the centers. They live in the suburbs and Outskirts, driving to supermarkets to get their supplies. But on a continent where people treasure convention, there are still those who hold onto traditional ways, ling and shopping locally. These people, together with tourists, provide the city centers with their reason for existence.
(39)Coffee culture plays a part in keeping these city centers flourishing this is particularly true of Paris whose citizens are famous enthusiastic conversationalists. This skill is developed over many hours spent chatting over espressos(浓咖啡)and cigarettes.
Religion also plays a role in developing sociable atmosphere. People in Roman Catholic countries used to visit the Church on an almost daily basis. Entire communities would gather in the same building and then move out to the markets, cafes and bars in the surrounding streets. (40)An enormous example of this relationship between church and society is the Duomo. The huge marble cathedral in Florence, Italy is surrounded by bakeries and coffee shops, and caters not only to the tourist crowds, but also the local community.
36.It canbe inferred from the first paragraph that each big city in Europe
A.has many large squares.
B.has many very magnificent sky-scrapers.
C.has a center where tourists meet their spouses.
D.draws tourists in large numbers every year.

Spoilt for Choice
Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. In daily life, people have come to expect endless situations about which they are required to make decisions one way or another. In the main, these are just irksome moments at work which demand some extra energy or brainpower, or during lunch breaks like choosing which type of coffee to order or indeed which coffee shop to go to.
(41)But sometimes selecting one option as opposed to another can have serious or lifelong repercussions. More complex decision-making is then either avoided, postponed, or put into the hands of the army of professionals, lifestyle coaches, lawyers, advisors, and the like, waiting to lighten the emotional burden for a fee. But for a good many people in the world, in rich and poor countries,choice is a luxury, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, created by companies and advertisers wanting to sell their wares.
The main impact of endless choice in people's lives is anxiety. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. (42)Easy access to a wide range of consumer goods induces a sense of powerlessness, even paralysis, in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted in order to solve the problem and reduce the unease.Recent surveys in the United Kingdom have shown that a sizeable proportion of electrical goods bought per household are not really needed.The advertisers and the shareholders of the manufacturers are, nonetheless, satisfied.
It is not just their availability that is the problem, but the speed with which new versions of products come on the market. Advances in design and production mean that new items are almost ready by the time that goods hit the shelves.(43) Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The classic example is computers, which are almost obsolete once they are bought. At first, there were only one or two available from a limited number of manufacturers, but now there are many companies all with not only their own products but different versions of the same machine.This makes
