第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）New Year' s resolutions(决心)have been around long enough that we all scent to stick to the same ones--hit the gym, lay off the candy, read more books, call your mother-regardless of whether we follow through with our intentions.
While January 1st seems like the perfect time to have a new start again, exactly when people developed that mindset(思维模式)is n’t common knowledge. It turns out that the modern belief of' a New Year’s resolution isn’t as old as you thought. According to many historians, the ancient Babylonians were the first group of people to make New Year’s resolutions. However, instead of maki ng a commitment to self improvement, they made a commitment to the gods to pay their debts and return any objects they had borrowed.
An ancient Roman tradition from 46 B．C, bears even more likeness to modern resolutions. Emperor Julius Caesar declared January the month of Janus. Romans believed Janus looked backwards into the previous year and ahead into the future. In his honor, they made sacrifices to the god and promises of good behavior for the coining year.
But the modern New Year's resolution didn’t f ully form until centuries later. The practice was common enough by the early 1800s. An article in 1802 states, "Statesmen have sworn to have no other objet in view than the good of their country.. the physicians have determined to advise the use of medicine no more than is necessary, and to he very reasonable in their fees.”
The first time “New Year's resolution" appeared as a phrase was in the January 1st issue of a Boston newspaper in 1813. “I believe there are a lot of people," the article goes, “with a serious determination of beginning the New Year with new resolutions and new behavior, and with the full belief that they shall accept punishment for all their former
faults and wipe them away.
So as you make (and possibly fail at) your New year's resolutions, know that you're in good company.
1、Whose New Years resolutions were most different from the present common practice?
A．Ancient Babylonians’ B．Ancient Romans’
C．Statesmen's in the 1800s. D．Boston people's in 1813
2、According to Paragraph 4, the physicians focused their resolutions on_______
A．annual incomes B．personal ambitions
C．professional honesty D．academic improvement
3、What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A．To encourage people to make New year's resolutions
B．To give advi ce on how to make New Year’s resolutions.
C．To compare different New year's resolutions in history.
D．To introduce the development of New Year's resolutions
22．（8分）Four Free Mobile Apps to Help You Learn English Faster
Have you realized that you can put your smartphone to really good use for learning English? Here are 4 free mobile apps that will help you do just that.
Hello English
It covers all the aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, translation, grammar, spellings, spoken and reading skills. It uses interactive games to teach different English lessons and offers new audiobooks, latest news, and books. However, you should already understand basic English structures and alphabets, for the app can’t help you learn English from scratch(从零开始).
Duolingo
If you want to learn English from scratch, then this is the app you are looking for. Duolingo uses interactive games to help you learn English. For beginners, the app focuses on helping you learn verbs, phrases and sentences.
Lingbe
If you are ready to practice your spoken skills in the real-world, you’ll need Lingbe. It’s a community-based app where people help each other and share their native languages. It connects you with real people on call who are native English speakers.
HelloTalk
HelloTalk is similar to Lingbe as it connects you with native speakers to help improve your language skills. However, it adds a few extra functions that might interest you. Y ou can view the information about users to find a match that interests you. Additionally, you can also send text and audio messages, and even do video calls with other people.
If you are a beginner, start from Duolingo and then use Hello English to take full command over the language. For fluent spoken English learners, you can try out Lingbe or HelloTalk.

23．（8分）No student of a foreign language needs to be told that grammar is complex. By changing the order of the words and by adding a range of auxiliary verbs (助动词) and suffixes (后缀), we can turn a statement into a question, state whether an action has taken place or is soon to take place, and perform many other word tricks to convey different meanings. However, the question which many language experts can’t understand and explain is—who created grammar?
Some recent languages evolved due to the Atlantic slave trade. Since the slaves didn’t know each other’s languages, they developed a make-shift language called a pidgin. Pidgins are strings of words copied from the language of the landowners. They have little in the way of grammar, and speakers need to use too many words to make their meaning understood. Interestingly, however, all it takes for a pidgin to become a complex language is for a group of children to be exposed to it at the time when they learn their mother tongue. Slave children didn’t simply copy the strings of words used by their elders. They adapted their words to create an expressive language. In this way complex grammar systems which come from pidgins were invented.
Further evidence can be seen in studying sign languages for the deaf. Sign languages are not simply a group of gestures; they use the same grammatical machinery that is found in spoken languages. The creation of one such language was documented quite recently in Nicaragua. Previously, although deaf children were taught speech and lip reading in the classrooms, in the playgrounds they began to invent their own sign system, using the gestures they used at home. It was basically a pidgin and there was no consistent grammar. However, a new system was born when children who joined the school later developed a quite different sign language. It was based on the signs of the older children, but it was shorter and easier to understand, and it had a large range of special use of grammar to clarify the meaning. What’s more, they all used the signs in the same w ay. So the original pidgin was greatly improved.
Most experts believe that many of the languages were pidgins at first. They were initially used in different groups of people without standardization and gradually evolved into a widely accepted system. The English past tense—“ed” ending—may have evolved from the verb “do”. “It ended” may once have been “It end-did”. It seems that children have grammatical machinery in their brains. Their minds can serve to create logical and complex structures, even when there is no grammar present for them to copy.
1、What can be inferred about the slaves’ pidgin language?
A．It was difficult to understand.
B．It came from different languages.
C．It was created by the landowners.
D．It contained highly complex grammar.
2、What is the characteristic of the new Nicaraguan sign language?
A．No consistent signs were used for communication.
B．Most of the gestures were made for everyday activities.
C．The hand movements were smoother and more attractive.
D．The meaning was clearer than the previous sign language.
3、Which idea does the author present in the last paragraph?
A．English grammar of past tense system is inaccurate.
B．Children say English past tense differently from adults.
C．The thought that English was once a pidgin is acceptable.
D．Experts have proven that English was created by children.
4、What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Creators of Grammar B．The History of Languages
C．Why Pidgins Came into Being D．How Grammar Systems Are Used
24．（8分）Anyone can try to lead a group, but not every individual is cut out for leadership. The better leaders possess a few qualities that can mean the difference between the success and failure of the group. These are the qualities the leader of higher rank will look for when choosing a leader for a group, or when evaluating the performance of a leader. They're also the qualities team members want in a group leader, and appreciate when they find them.
Take Responsibility
Group leaders might share tasks around a group as necessary, but eventually a group leader needs to be able to accept that responsibility lies on his shoulders. That means that if things go wrong in a group project, he’s the one who must accept the consequences and work out what mistakes are made. The group leader won't always have the power to
control everything group members do, but he should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of his leadership
Concern for Members
The group leader has a commitment to the task or project at hand, but perhaps more importantly, he has a real concern for each and every person who is part of his group. This means getting to know the strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members, as well as making time to build the group through collective activities. The group leader should make sure that everyone is included, even if an individual is new to a group.
Good Listener
The group leader needs to be able to listen to the suggestions, complaints and ideas of group members. Not only will this allow complaints to be addressed and potentially suitable ideas to be put into practice, but a leader who listens will also encourage group members to share their concerns and thoughts, creating an atmosphere of free speech and productivity.
1、The passage is mainly about____________.
A．choosing a good leader for a group.
B．assessing the performance of a leader.
C．team members’ appreciation of a leader.
D．qualities of a good group leader.
2、A good leader should always be able to_______.
A．tell when things go wrong in a group project.
B．recognize any mistakes as his own.
C．make group members admit their mistakes.
D．control everything group members do.
3、According to “Concerns for members”, which of the following is a good quality of a leader?
A．fair B．reliable
C．determined D．generous
4、Which of the following is not a benefit of the group leader being a good listener?
A．Offering a chance for group members to express themselves freely
B．Making it possible to deal with group members’ complaints.
C．Allowing the leader to put his ideas into practice.
D．Making group members productive by sharing their thoughts.
25．（10分）My First Day of School
Fear started taking over, I was walking into my first school in America. I had traveled a long distance from India in order to join my parents, who had been for three years, hoping America would help my future. My father decided that I would be better off going to school here, so I enrolled(登记)in the local high school in my new town.
I was afraid how I would do. On the first day, I went to my second period class after I had missed my first. With anxiety, I reached for the door, opening it slowly. Without paying attention to my classmates, I went straight to the teacher and asked if this was the right class. With a soft voice he answered. “Yes.” His voice com forted me a little. He gave me a sheet called Course Requirements, which I would never get in India because we didn’t have anything like that. Then he asked me to choose where I would sit. I didn’t actually want to pick a seat. In India we had fixed seats, so I never needed to worry about that. I spent the rest of the class taking notes from the image produced by the overhead projector. In Indian schools, we didn’t use the technology we had. We had to take notes as the teacher spoke.
It was noon. I was very confused about when I would have lunch. I went to my next class and the bell rang as I entered. I went through the regular process of asking the teacher if I was in the right class. She said, “It’s still fourth period.”
“But the bell just rang,” I said.
Changing from a gentle tone to a harsher(刺耳的)one, she said, “That is the lunch bell, young man.”
I apologized. Without another word I headed for the cafeteria. I felt lucky because we didn’t have this in India. Every confusion seemed like a barrier I had to get through to reach my goal. At the end of the day, I was on my way to the bus which we didn’t have in India either. I spotted my bus and sat down inside happily. I was thinking, today wasn’t o bad.
1、The author attended an American high school because _______.
A．his father preferred American schools
B．his family wanted him to have a bright future
C．his mother had worked in it for 3 years
D．he had been longing to leave his homeland
2、What do we know about the author's first day of school?
A．He went to the wrong class for the second period
B．He met some enthusiastic teachers and classmates
C．He got the Course Requirements sheet from his classmate
D．He experienced differences from the Indian schools in many ways
3、How did the author feel at the end of the day?

Our class had a discussion about whether it’s necessary put monitoring cameras in our classroom. Opinions are divided to this topic.
Some are in favor of this idea, thinking monitoring cameras can be using to mon itor teachers’ teaching, that encourages teachers to prepare their lessons better. Beside, it is a useful way to avoid exam cheating, which is a seriously problem in some schools.
However, another students are against that because they feel stressful if they feel someone is watching them all the time. Also, they thought it will affect their privacy. In my opinion, since they can encourage everyone to behave well, why not to accept them?

29、Dear Trevor,
The saying is meant to tell us the power of words. Put simply, a good word can make people warm in winter while a bad word can make them feel cold in summer. Of course it means more than that. It reminds us that simple but warm words can lift up a person who loses heart and make him through the day while destructive words to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill them.
Therefore, we should be cautious about our words in daily life and always say positive words to those who we come across and never hurt people by using mean words.
Yours,
Li Hua。
