Gairaigo words that come from outside have been part of the Japanese language for centuries. Mostly borrowed from English and Chinese, these terms are often changed into forms no longer understood by native speakers.But in the last few years the trickle of foreign words has become a flood, and people fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese to understand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities of traditional Japanese.“The popularity of foreign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything new,” says university lecturer and writer Takashi Saito. “By using a foreign word you can make a subject seem new, which makes it easier for the media to pick up.”“Experts often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people in their own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers,” said Muturo Kai, president of the National Language Research Institute. “Foreign words find their way easily into announcements made to the general public, when they should really be explained in Japanese.”Against the flow of new words, many Japanese are turning back to the study of their own language. Saitos Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of the many language books that are now flying off booksellers shelves.“We are expecting to sell the books to young people,” said the writer, “but it turns out they are more popular with the older generation, who seem uneasy about the future of the Japanese.”Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.26. What advantage do foreign words have over traditional Japanese terms?【解析】选B。选项中的Foreign words，suited for announcements，make new subject easier等表明，本题可能与外来词的优点有关。由短文中提到的By using a foreign word you can make a subject seem new可知，用外来词表达的想法是很新颖的，故答案为B。【点睛】advantage与介词over搭配使用。B中的sound new对应的是seem new。27. What do Takashi Saito say about Japanese people?【解析】选C。由短文中提到的The popularity of foreign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything new可知，Takashi Saito认为日本人是很乐意学习新知识的，故答案为C。【点睛】选项中的They指的是问题中的Japanese people。C的内容是对the Japanese interest in anything new的同义转述。28. Which plays an important part in the spread of foreign words?【解析】选D。短文中提到的which makes it easier for the media to pick up和Those terms are then included in government white papers表明，媒体和政府白皮书在外来词的传播上起到了很重要的作用，故答案为D。【点睛】问题中的the spread of foreign words是听音重点。which引导非限制性定语从句。29. What do we know about the book Japanese to Be Read Aloud?【解析】选A。根据短文中提到的Saitos Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of many language books that are now flying off booksellers shelves.可知，Japanese to Be Read Aloud这本书在日本很畅销，故答案为A。【点睛】问题中的Japanese to Be Read Aloud是听音重点。that引导定语从句，fly off意为“脱离控制”，在此取其比喻义，意为“在书店里比较畅销”。Passage Two【听前预测】选项中反复出现They，再由exploited，offered jobs，employed as skilled and semi-skilled workers等可知，They 很可能指的是workers, 涉及工人的工作、社会地位、生活状况等。Members of the working class have blue-collar jobs. They are construction workers, truck drivers, mechanics, steel workers, electricians, and the like. What makes this class differ from the lower class is, first, longer periods of employment and therefore, more fixed incomes and, second, employment in skilled or semi-skilled occupations, not unskilled ones. Although unemployment hits all levels of the American economy, including those of skilled and semi-skilled workers, it is most common at the bottom of the class structure and increasingly less common at each level upward. They consider themselves to be respectable and hard-working and they look down upon members of the “lower” class, whom they often consider to be lazy, dishonest, and too ready to exploit public assistance. Most people in the working class have at least high-school education. Many have some experience of college (especially community college), though few are college graduates. Unionization has helped the working class, but a rapidly changing economy and frequent periods of high unemployment make it difficult for most of its members to be able to increase their savings greatly. Purchasing a house for people in this class is extremely difficult, although a certain percentage may receive houses from their parents. (Home-owning rises with social class.)A greater number of the members of the working class take relatively little satisfaction in their jobs, because much of their work is ordinary and boring. As a result, they seek their main satisfaction in recreational activities. Many members of this class would like to earn enough money to leave their jobs and start their own businesses, though few make it. Many place their expectations on their children, hoping that they at least will rise in the ladder of success, American style.Questions 30 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.30. What is the feature of the working class?【解析】选D。本题考查工人的特点。A表达的是工人被公众剥削，是对too ready to exploit public assistance的误解；B是工人对更下层阶级的品质（懒惰、不诚信）的看法 ；C表达的是工人收入很高，与事实相违背，可排除。由短文中提到的employment in skilled or semi-skilled occupations可知，答案为D。【点睛】听到skilled or semi-skilled不难选出答案。31. What is said about most people in the working class?【解析】选D。选项涉及工人的住房、学历和收入。短文提到工人的住房问题，说他们很难买得起房，只有很少一部分工人继承父母的住房，故A和B表述有误；短文说工人至少是高中学历，而非C表述的“大学学历”，故错误。短文中的difficult for most of its members to be able to increase their savings greatly表明，工人的储蓄很难大幅增加，故答案为D。【点睛】D的内容是对difficult for most of its members to be able to increase their savings greatly的同义转述。32. Why are many members from the working class not satisfied with their jobs?【解析】选C。短文中提到because much of their work is ordinary and boring，由此可知，他们对工作不满意是因为工作普通、枯燥，即他们对工作不感兴趣，故答案为C。【点睛】because表因果处通常为考点。Passage Three【听前预测】选项中的printing，plant more fast growing trees，making paper，printers using recycled paper等表明，短文可能与打印和纸有关。At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in
