Many experts have tried to make English easier for students to learn but they werent always successful.In 1930, Professor CK Ogden of Cambridge University invented Basic English. It had only 850 words (and just eighteen verbs) and Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours. The problem was that people who learned Basic English could write and say simple messages, but they couldnt understand the answers in real English! It was also impossible to explain a word if it wasnt in the Basic English word list. For example, if you wanted a watermelon, you asked for a large green fruit with the form of an egg, which has a sweet red inside and a good taste! RE Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling, so he invented a language called Anglic. Anglic was similar to English, but with much simpler spelling. Father became faadher, new became nue and years became yeerz. Unfortunately for some students of English, Anglic never became popular.Even easier is the language which ships captains use: its called Seaspeak. Seaspeak uses a few simple phrases for every possible situation. In Seaspeak, for example you dont say, Im sorry what did you say? or I didnt understand, can you repeat that? . its just, Say again. No more grammar!In the age of international munication through the Internet who knows? . a new form of English might appear. A large number of the worlds e-mails are in English and include examples of NetLingo like OIC (Oh, I see) and TTYL (Talk to you later). In another fifty years, English as we know it might not exist . we will probably all speak fluent Internetish!61. The best title for the passage would be _.A. Seaspeak B. Basic English C. Easy English D. Internetish【答案】C【解析】标题归纳题。根据Many experts have tried to make English easier for students to learn文章开头就指出主题怎样把英语变得更加简单，下文叙述了人们的不同做法，故选C。62. It will take a person about _ weeks to learn Basic English if he spends two hours learning it every day. A. six B. four C. three D. two 【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。根据Ogden said most people could learn it in just thirty hours.花30个小时，一天两个小时所以总共花两周的时间，故选D。63. According to Professor Zachrisson, what was the biggest problem for learners of English? A. Grammar. B. Vocabulary. C. Spelling. D. Speaking.【答案】C【解析】细节理解题。根据RE Zachrisson, a university professor in Sweden, decided that the biggest problem for learners of English was spelling, Zachrisson教授说最大的问题是拼写，故选C。64. Which of the following is likely to be Anglic? A. A graet batl. B. IOUC. Long time no see. D. Two five, no lights.【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。根据Anglic was similar to English,可推出选项A的单词拼写上看出近似于英语但又不是英语，故选A。65. What might happen to English in another fifty years? A. It might bee a global language. B. It might be replaced by Internetish. C. It might take the place of all other languages. D. It might bee more and more difficult.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据In another fifty years, English as we know it might not exist . we will probably all speak fluent Internetish!再过50年有可能出现Internetish语言，故选B。科普知识（阅读理解）由 (xx浙江,B)改编Below is a page adapted from an English dictionary.Important words to learn: Essential Improver AdvancedPump /pmp/noun C DEVICE 1 a piece of equipment which is used to cause liquid, air or gas to move from one place to another:a water/bicycle/fuel pump a UK petrol/US gas pump SHOE 2USUALLY PLURALUS (UK court shoe) a type of plain shoe with a raised HEEL and no way of fastening it to the foot which is worn by women 3 USUALLY PLURALa type of flat shoe, like a BALLET dancers shoe,which is worn by women.4 USUALLY PLURALUK a flat shoe made of heavy cloth, which is worn by children for doing sports. verb LIQUID/GAS1 T USUALLY+ADV/PREP to force liquid or gas to move somewhere:Our latest machine can pump a hundred gallons a minute.The new wine is pumped into storage tanks.The heart pumps blood through the arteries/round the body.
