21．Radio newsreaders and television hosts at Ireland’s national broadcaster RTE are mostly up （6分）in arms at being told to pronounce words according to the Queen’s English.
A report in The Irish Sun newspaper says that RTE’s workers have been given an A-Z style guide of
B．remove
words which instructs them on how to pronounce certain words in an effort to make sure they are clearly understood. The A-Z comes with videos containing lessons of how to “properly” pronounce the “problem” words. An official at RTE told the Irish Sun that producers gave the guide to keep up standards. “The guide is there for anyone who needs it.” he said, “RTE often get letters from the public over how certain words were mispronounced. The word ‘issue’ is a big one at the moment, people don’t like how it’s pronounced. There is an expectation that as the national broadcaster we are correct.”
However, Irish linguistics expert Professor Raymond Hickey, who took the side of most of the radio newsreaders and TV hosts, called the RTE’s actions “internalized colonialism (内化殖民主义)”. He expressed his disbelief that Irish speakers were being asked to use words with an English accent. He said: “The basic problem is RTE expects its workers to speak as if they were English. Why? We have our own form of English, which is different but fully reasonable and accepted worldwide.” Professor Hickey specially talked of some examples of the words Irish hosts are being asked to pronounce with a British English accent. He said: “The Irish don’t pronounce the TH [in ‘birthday’] as a fricative, but as a stop with no breath…. The same is true of ‘news’ — the Irish pronunciation is and always has been ‘nooze’.” 1、When told to speak the Queen’s English, RTE’s workers showed great ________. A．anger B．interest C．curiosity D．disappointment
2、RTE provides its workers with an A—Z style guide in order to ________. A．instruct them to pronounce clearly B．keep up pronunciation standards C．meet their work demands
D．make sure that the public are correct
3、What’s the official’s in s intension of mentioning the letters from the public? A．To warm the national broadcaster of the mispronunciation. B．To show how “problem” words are mispronounced. C．To explain why RTE take the actions. D．To prove the public are believable.
4、According to Professor Raymond Hickey, the RTE’s actions ________. A．are reasonable and acceptable B．are impractical and foolish C．will win the Irish trust
D．make no sense
22． Something’s happening at the lowest point on our planet,some 1,388 feet below sea level. （8分）The Dead Sea, a salt lake close to Israel, Jordan and the West Bank, is shrinking at an alarming rate—about 3.3 feet per year, according to the environmentalist group EcoPeace Middle East.
“It’s not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea; it’s more like the whole region,” said photographer Moritz Küstner, who visited the area in February to work on his series “The Dying Dead Sea”.
The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it, such as the Jordan River basin. But around the 1960s, the courses of some water sources it relied upon were diverted. Israel, for instance, built a pipeline during that time so it could supply water throughout the country.
Mineral extraction(提取) industries are another main reason why the water levels are declining, experts say. The Dead Sea’s minerals have been popular for their medical power and can often be found in cosmetics(化妆品) and other consumer products.
And then, of course, there’s the Middle East’s hot, dry climate, which makes it difficult for the lake to refill itself. Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a $900 million deal in an effort to stabilize the Dead Sea’s water levels. It involves building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea which would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump much needed water—some 300 million cubic meters annually—into the Dead Sea.
“This is the most important and significant agreement since the peace treaty with Jordan (in 1994),” said Silvan Shalom, Israel’s energy and water resources minister at the time. Whether the canal—estimated to take three years to complete—will work out positively and as planned remains to be seen.
For now, Küstner shows us that the Dead Sea remains very much a place of interest, with people from all over the world going there to swim in its salty waters.
1、How many reasons for the Dead Sea’s shrinking does the author mention in the passage? A．One. C．Three.
B．Two. D．Four.
2、What does the underlined word “diverted” in paragraph 3 mean? A．Switch. C．Accomplish.
B．Improve. D．Repair.
3、Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．The Dead Sea is drying out causing water shortage to humans. B．Küstner visited the Dead Sea to shoot TV series about people’s life. C．The Dead Sea’s minerals have been used in some products.
