Books were very expensive and there were few local newspapers and no radio or TV. In fact, most people spent their time talking and listening. And only a little reading and writing went on and many people were unable to read or write. For this reason, native dialects (方言) grew up and people spoke as their parents and grandparents did. A Cornwall woman who traveled just as far as London would find that people spoke a completely different language.Sometimes it is hard to take in just how much things have changed. You always have books around, read magazines and newspapers, and have different TV or radio programs. You and everyone around you, often travel not just in British islands but all over the world. Modern science has changed our life and distances have been made shorter. It might take a Cornwall woman three days to travel to London. Now it takes less than two hours by air, less than four by train and less than six by road.The result of this is that the language we use is becoming more national and the dialects are dying out. Writing, printing and broadcasting have speeded up this change as one dialect has come to be used by more and more people. This is the dialect called Standard (标准的) English which was first used outside London in the south and east Midlands.31. If a Cornwall woman went to London a hundred years ago, she would find _.A. London was not far from her birthplaceB. London was a strange cityC. she could easily understand London peopleD. she could hardly understand London people32. Things have changed so much that people are not _ any more.A. watching TV and listening to the radioB. reading books and magazinesC. travelling just within British islandsD. travelling all over the world33. English is becoming more national because _.A. distances have been made shorter by modern scienceB. it takes a Cornwall woman less time to travel to LondonC. the capital of England has been moved to a place near CornwallD. people mustnt speak dialects in EnglandDDeserts (沙漠) are found in places where there is little rainfall or where a whole years rain falls in only a few weeks time. Ten inches of rain may be enough for many plants to survive if the rain is spread throughout the year. If it falls, within one or two months and the rest of the year is dry, those plants may die and a desert may form (形成) .Sand begins as small pieces of rock get smaller and smaller. Sand dunes (沙丘) are formed as winds move the sand across the desert. Slowly the dunes grow over the years, always moving with the winds and changing the shape. Most of them are only a few feet tall, but they can grow to be several hundred feet high.There is, however, much more to a desert than sand. In the deserts of the southwestern United States, there are cliffs (悬崖) and large rocks of different shapes. Over the centuries, the water dried up. Wind, sand, rain, heat and cold all wore away the rest of rocks. The faces of the desert mountains are always changing very, very slowly as these forces of nature continue to work on the rock.Most deserts have different life. There are plants, animals and insects in the desert. During the heat of the day, a visitor may see very few signs of living things, but as the air begins to cool in the evening, the desert comes to life. As the sun begins to rise again in the sky, the desert once again becomes quiet and lonely.34. Many plants may survive in deserts when _. A. the rain is spread out in a yearB. the rain falls only in a few weeks C. there is little rain in a yearD. it is dry all the year round35. Sand dunes are formed when _. A. sand piles up (堆积) slowlyB. there is plenty of rain in a year C. the sea has dried up over the yearsD. pieces of rock get smaller36.

It can be learned from the text that in a desert _.A. there is no rainfall throughout the yearB. there is life in hard conditionsC. all sand dunes are a few feet highD. rocks are worn away only by wind and heat第II卷（非选择题，共40分）四、单词拼写 (本大题共8分，每小题1分)(A) 根据句意, 用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。1.
