The development of the English language falls into three reasonably distinct periods.    Old English lasted from about A.D.450, when the first Germanic people began to settle in England, until about 1100.    Middle English extended from about 1100 to about 1475.    And Modern English began about 1475 and has lasted to the present time.    Of course the breaks were not as sudden and definite as these dates indicate.    There has never been a year when the language was not changing, or a time when it was not spoken with anything like complete uniformity(一致性).    However, the traits(特性) of the three periods are so different that a man who knows both Old English and Modern English well will find a great deal of difficulty reading some of the Middle English writings without any study in the important aspects of the language.

90. Who is to blame for the students' too much homework?
91. One possible version: In the modern world TV plays an important part. Instead of reading a newspaper or listening to the news on the radio, we can watch television while having breakfast. TV provides us with lively moving pictures which are far more interesting than reading line after line. TV enables us to see what is happening in other parts of the world. Besides, we can learn many things on the screen, including cooking and a foreign language. Therefore, it is not reasonable to stop a child from watching TV. Of course watching TV for too long is no good. Sitting in front of the screen all day does harm to one's eyesight. The correct way is to watch TV properly.,,,,

Part C Passages
Directions: In Part C, you will hear two short passages, and you will be
asked three questions on each of the passages.  The passages  will be read twice but the questions will only be spoken once.  When you hear a question, read the four possible answers in  your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.
Questions 15 through 17 are based on the following passage.
Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast?  A short time ago, a test was given in the United States.  People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test.  During the test, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all.  Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfast.
The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better than if he or she has no breakfast.  If a student has fruit, eggs bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class.
The result is opposite to what some people think.  Having no breakfast will not help you lose weight.  This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch.  They will gain weight instead of losing it.  You will lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
Questions:
15. What were the people given during the test?  (B)
16. What do the results show?  (A)
17. Which of the following is NOT true?  (D)
Questions 18 through 20 are based on the following passage.
All around the world, people drink tea.  But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone.  In different countries people have very different ideas about drinking tea.
In China, for example, tea is always served when people get together.  The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouses.  They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it.
Tea is also important in Japan.  The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called a tea ceremony.  It is very old and full of meaning.  Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony.  There is even a special room for it in Japanese homes.
Another tea-drink country is England.  In England, the late afternoon is "teatime".  Almost everyone has a cup of tea then.  The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with cream and sugar.  They also eat cakes, cookies and little sandwiches at teatime.
In the United States people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals.  Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea.  Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots.  In the summer, many Americans drink cold tea-"iced tea".  Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans, like soda.  
Questions:
18. What is the passage mainly about?  (D)
19. Where is tea popular?  (A)
20. What's the purpose for Chinese to drink tea?  (C)
