The scientists think a large earthquake and flooding probably destroyed the ancient settlement where they were discovered.Unlike modern Chinese noodles and Italian pasta (意大利面食) that are made mostly of wheat, the 4,000-year-old variety consisted of millet（黍）which is native to China.Wheat was not introduced from central and western Asia to northwestern China until about 5,000 years ago. “Archaeological evidence suggests that even though wheat was present in northwestern China 4,500 to 5,000 years ago, it was not commonly grown until much later,” Lu said.36. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. World’s earliest noodles found in ChinaB. The origin o f Chinese noodlesC. The difference between Chinese noodles and Italian noodlesD. The history of Chinese noodles37. Until the discovery, it was generally believed that ____.A. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in ChinaB. the world’s oldest kno wn noodles were made in ItalyC. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in the Middle EastD. the world’s oldest known noodles were made in the East Han Dynasty38. According to the discovery, noodles were first made in China ____.A. 5,000 years agoB. between 25 and 220C. around 2,000 BCD. during the Middle Ages39. Which can be used as the evidence that world’s oldest noodles came from China?A. Chinese noodles are made mostly of wheat.B. Italian pasta is made mostly of millet.C. The unearthed noodles were made of millet which is native to China.D. Wheat was not commonly grown in China until about 5,000 years ago.40. We might see this passage in ____.A. an essayB. an advertisementC. a newspaperD. a magazineBCharlotte Thun-Hohenstein, 17, says that she is not yet ready to decide whether to choose a science or an arts subject when she goes to university.She is taking A levels in chemistry, maths, Latin and history, and would love to continue studying as many of them as possible at degree level.Charlotte, who attends St Paul’s Girls’School in Hammersmith, West London, is applying only to universities in the United States because they offer a broader curriculum (课程) and do notforce students to specialise until after the first year. She has applied to seven American universities, including Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Georgetown.She said: “I want to go to the US because I don’t know what to study. I enjoy both arts and sciences. The US is much broader. They encourage you to take many courses and you end up choosing a major. In the first year you explore what interests you.”“I’m not applying to any British universities. I want to go to the US because of the breadth of study and also the extracurricular（课外的）life.”“I love singing, music in general, and community service. My friend and I have set up a choir at a local primary school, and we lead discussions on moral issues and organize creative activities for the lower school. I play the piano in a swing band and sing in school productions.”“I think there is more on offer in the US and the opportunities are more diverse.”“There is still a huge difference in the US and British fees, but I’m very lucky I don’t have to worry about that. The US universities do have incredibly extensive financial support for those who need it.”“I hope that there’s a strong international community wherever I end up studying.”41. In the passage, Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein mainly talks about ____.A. her puzzle in choosing subjects at collegeB. why she chooses to study in an American universityC. the difference between British and American educationD. her favorite subjects at middle school42. In Britain, university students ____.A. have to choose a specialized subject in the first yearB. are allowed to choose any subject they likeC. can choose their favorite subject in the second yearD. are only allowed to study a certain subject all through the college years43. Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein wants to study in an American university mainly because ____.A. she wants to learn more advanced technologyB. she can get extensive financial supportC. she can find her real interest in the first yearD. she can meet more international students44. Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein has to ____ if she wants to study in an American university.A. pay higher feesB. do more community serviceC. drop some of her interestsD. adapt herself to a diverse life45. It can be inferred from the passage that Charlotte Thun-Hohenstein _____.A. has strong ambitionB. has no idea of her ownC. has unrealistic expectationD. has broad interestsCPresident Bush may talk about a mission (使命) to Mars, but Bruce Jones is betting there is still a healthy thirst for exploration into underwater worlds on our own planet.Jones, who has spent 17 years designing and selling submarines (潜水艇) for private use, has $40 million invested to build a luxurious (奢侈的) hotel.Unlike the Jules Undersea Lodge—the only undersea hotel now in existence—guests at the Poseidon won’t need to put on a wet suit and dive to their rooms. They also won’t need to worry about changing pressure levels since the hotel will be maintained at above-surface pressure.Instead, they can go to their $1,500-a-night underwater rooms by lift.“I thin k there are a great number of people who would be interested,” said Jones, “including anyone who is looking for a different experience.”It sounds impressive, but will it happen? It’s hard to say, considering Jones’ project is only one of the latest great ideas to expand real estate under the sea.His company features luxurious submarines ranging in price from $1 million to $80 million. Having been in the business for a while, Jones claims he has a realistic sense of what it takes to start an underwater business project. As he says, when it comes to meeting regulations for his submarine fleet, “The paperwork ends up weighing as much as the submarine.”For his part, Craig Cooper, the operations director for the Aquarius research station, hopes at least one of the latest project proposals comes to fruition. “By now I envisioned we’d have entire underwater cities. It’s about time some of these visions (想像) became reality,” Cooper said.46. Why does the writer mention President Bush in the first paragraph?A. It was he who first suggested the underwater exploration.B. The writer stressed the exploration into underwater worlds can win support from Bush.C. The president’s talk is to bring in the story of the underwater hotel.D. The writer wants to compare missions to Mars with underwater hotels.47. This passage is mainly about ____.A. the plan to build a luxurious hotel under the seaB. Jones’ plan to build underwater citiesC. the conditions of the luxurious hotelD. the greatest underwater project in history48. Which of the following statements about Jones’ underwater hotel is NOT mentioned?A. The pressure will be kept in the hotel as high as that on the ground.B. The hotel will be equipped with lift so that guests need no wet suits.C. Every room will cost guests at least $ 1,500 per night.D. Jones’ underwater hotel will be as expensive as the Jules Lodge.49. The underlined word “envisioned” in the last paragraph means “____”.A. supposedB. dreamedC. predictedD. wished50. From the passage we can see ____.A. the hotel has already been in useB. the hotel will be the largest oneC. it is easy to build the underwater hotelD. Jones is optimistic about the hotelDCalifornia ground squirrels and rock squirrels chew up rattlesnake (响尾蛇) skin and spread it on their fur to mask their scent (气味) from snakes, according to a new study by researchers at UC Davis.Barbara Clucas, a graduate student in animal behavior at UC Davis, observed ground squirrels and rock squirrels applying snake scent to themselves by picking up pieces of shed (被脱下的) snakeskin, chewing it and then licking their fur.Adult female squirrels and juveniles (少年) apply snake scent more often than adult males, which are less likely to be attacked by snakes, Clucas said. The scent probably helps to mask the squirrel’s own scent, especially when the animals are asleep in their burrows（洞穴）at night, or to persuade a snake that another snake is in the burrow.The squirrels are not limited to the use of shed snake skins, said Donald Owings, a professor of psychology at UC Davis who is Clucas’ adviser and an author on the paper. They also pick up snake scent from soil and other surfaces on which snakes have been resting, and use that to apply scent.Snake-scent application is one of a remarkable package of defenses that squirrels use against rattlesnakes, Owings said. In earlier work, Owings’ lab has found that squirrels can heat up their tails to send a warning signal to rattlesnakes, which can “see” in the infrared rays（红外线）and judge how dangerous a particular snake is, based on the sound of its rattle. In addition, work by Owings’colleague, psychology professor Richard Coss, has shown that these squirrels have developed resistance to snake venom（毒液）.“It’s a nice example of the opportunism of animals,” Owings said. “They’re turning the tables on the snake.”51. The two kinds of California squirrels mentioned in the passage apply snake scent to ____.A. make themselves poisonous to snakesB. frighten snakes awayC. develop resistance to snake venomD. cover up their own smell52. Adult female squirrels and juveniles apply snake scent more often because ____.A. they are more likely to be caught and eaten by snakesB. they have a stronger body smell themselvesC. they spend more time sleeping in their burrowsD. they are can be seen more easily by snakes53. What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. Other findings on squirrels by Owings’ colleague.B. Other means of defenses that squirrels use against rattlesnakes.C. The most effective defense squirrels use against rattlesnakes.D. Examples of the opportunism of animals.54. According to Owings, squirrels heat up their tails to ____.A. cheat a snakeB. send off infrared raysC. warn the snakeD. give other squirrels warning signals55. The passage implies that a snake traces squirrels mainly by their ____.A. heatB. scentC. figuresD. shadows第三部分书面表达（共两节，满分25分）第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Every year there seems to be a certain craze which sweeps across Britain, whether through clever marketing or competition pressure, so that practically every child in the country wants the same thing for Christmas.Of course, with thousands of parents trying to make their children’s Christmas, it’s quite easy for the most popular presents to get sold out before __________. This leads parents to go to extraordinary lengths to find the desired gift.In past years, the most favoured toys have included Tracy Island, from the TV series Thunderbirds, and Buzz Lightyear, from t he film Toy Story. These years’ must-have present is the Nintendo Wii, an indication that British children are becoming more and more technologically knowledgeable. Other presents which are expected to top Christmas wish-lists this year are several toys related toTV programmes, such as popular science-fiction series Doctor Who, and pre-school sensation In the Night Garden, as well as the main character from the movie Transformers.As parents desperately (不顾一切地) search shops and online retailers for the gifts their children want, some people are making money from it. Those who predicted the trends (趋势) bought some of the top presents earlier in the year, and can now sell them for great profits on online auction (拍卖) websites.Special websites have been set up to inform parents as soon as a certain item becomes available anywhere. But with so many people signing up it’ll still be a race against time to buy the toys before they are sold out again.Some children will unavoidably be disappointed on Christmas morning, but let’s hope that the chocolates, Christmas dinner and the many other presents will make up for it.76. What’s the best title for the passage? (within 10 words)77. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?As a result, parents will try their best to get what their child want for Christmas.78. Please fill the blank in Para. 2 with proper words or phrases. (within 10 words)79. For what reason will some children be disappointed on Christmas morning? (within 10 words)80. Please translate the underlined sentence in Para.6 into Chinese.第二节写作（满分15分）【写作要求】众所周知，树林一直都是人类生存的朋友和依靠。

Three quarters of the worlds’ mails and letters are in English. So are more than half the world’s technical and scientific periodicals(期刊)--- it is the language of technology from Silicon Valley(硅谷) to Shanghai. English is the medium for 80 percent of the information stored in the world’s computers. Nearly half of all business deals in Europe are conducted in English. It is also the language of sports and glamour(魅力)—the official language of the Olympics and the Miss Universe competition. Five of the largest broadcasting companies in the world(CBS, NBC, ABC, BBC, CBC) transmit in English to audiences that regularly exceed one hundred million.Though English is a language as old as Greek or Chinese, its truly significant development has occurred only in the last one hundred years or so. Taking the most conservative estimates, there are three or four hundred million people using English, but not as a native language. English hasbecome a second language in countries like India, Nigeria or Singapore where it is used for administration, broadcasting and education. In these countries, English is a vital alternative language, often unifying huge districts and diverse populations. When Rajiv Gandhi appealed for an end to the violence that broke out after the murder of his mother, he went on television and spoke to his people in English. Then English is used as a foreign language in some countries, like Holland or Yugoslavia, where it is backed up by a tradition of English teaching. It is used to have contact with people in other countries, usually to promote trade and scientific progress. A Dutch poet is read by a few thousands. However, translated into English, he can be read by hundreds of thousands.As either a first, second or foreign language, English has been a global phenomenon.36. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Nearly half of the worlds’ mails and letters are written in English.B. 70 percent of the information in the world’s computers is stored in English.C. English is not as old as Chinese.D. In the last one hundred years, English developed greatly.37. In the countries like India, Nigeria or Singapore English is used for the following purposes except __________.A. administrationB. broadcastingC. education.D. business38. Which of the following words can be used to explain the underlined one in paragraph one?A. broadcastB. sendC. takeD. translateBOffshore English is a term being used by many people for International English. It is the English spoken and written by non-native speakers in international communication. Many in business are starting to worry that native speakers are actually at a disadvantage in international communication. One case study that is quoted is of a contract to provide flight simulators to South Korea, where a French company won the contract because the buyers found it easier to understand the English spoken by the French than the English spoken by the British company.Many native English speakers feel little need to learn foreign languages, so they often lack understanding of the difficulties and problems learners face. They also don’t see the need to modify their language for a foreign audience, so they use idioms, synonyms(同义词), phrasal verbs, etc., without thinking of the impact this might have on a foreign business person.The English studied by non-native speakers tends to use a narrower core vocabulary. This means that non-native speakers from different countries and cultures may understand each other more easily than the native speakers do. Few native speakers outside the world of ESL teaching have much idea of what non-native learners are taught, and think that as their English is at native speaker level, they speak it better than their non-native counterparts. This unawareness is starting to cause problems that businesses are beginning to identify, and courses in offshore English are now being offered to native speakers in an attempt to train them to speak the kind of English that will make it easier for non-native speakers to understand, enabling them to win more contracts.39.Which of the following statements is true about offshore English?A. It can only be spoken by non-native speakers.B. It is used to win more contracts.C. It is difficult to understand.D. It is full of idioms, synonyms, phrasal verbs, etc.40. A French company won the contract because ________.A. it has advanced technology and equipmentB. it can be relied onC. it is on good terms with South KoreaD. the English spoken by the French is easier to understand41. Why are native English speakers actually at a disadvantage in international communication?A. Because what they say is difficult for the non-native speakers to understandB. Because they speak English better than their non-native counterparts.C. Because they are difficult to deal withD. Because they don’t want to improve themselves.42. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Offshore English will take the place of English spoken by native speakers.B. More and more people will study offshore EnglishC. Offshore English is what is written in contractsD. Many native English speakers often lack understanding of the difficulties and problems non-native speakers faceCLike China, Britain had a golden age of poetry-but it came a thousand years after the time of Li Bai and Du Fu. It was a time of revolution and new ideas in Europe. The English Romantic poets, as they are now known, were very interested in what was happening in the rest of the continent. But the romantic poets were more interested in the individual, and in the power of the imagination than they were in politics. They produced wonderful images to express human emotions and to paint pictures of the natural world. They also got inspiration from the myths(神话) of past ages, especially the Greek myths, and from their own experiences of love.Typically, the Romantic poets lived hard and died young. Byron was the most famous of them; he traveled a lot and shocked people with his wild behavior. Another Romantic poet, Coleridge, was probably a drug addict, and the strange journeys of his mind were reflected in his poems. Wordsworth was the only one who live to an old age. As he grew older he became less interested in political ideas. He went to live in the Lake District, in the north of England, where he wrote the poem I wandered lonely as a cloud.The most brilliant of the Romantics was probably Keats. Although he studied as a doctor, poetry was his great love. But when he was just 24, he became very ill. He knew he was going to die, and went to Italy to spend his last months in a more pleasant climate. His friend, Shelley, (whose wife, Mary, wrote Frankenstein), went to Italy to meet him and say goodbye, but he arrived too late. Shelley himself did not live much longer. He drowned in a boating accident off the west coast of Italy the next year. In his pocket he had a book of Keats’ poems.43. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. English poetryB. Romantic poetsC. Some English poetsD. The golden age of English poetry44. As we can see from the passage, Keats _________.A. studied medicineB. was very cleverC. died at his early ageD. drowned in a boating accident45. About the romantic poets, which of the following is not true？A. They poets were interested in the individual.B. They like paint pictures about natural world.C. They often got inspiration from the Greek myths.D. They were more interested in what was happening in the rest of the continentIV.阅读表达（共五小题；每小题3分，满分15分）In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study for the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor’s degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles（类似）a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations, teachers and students .One type of test sometimes is called an objective test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test, the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learnt the material properly.1．What could be a title for this passage?2．Explain the underlined sentence in the last paragraph in English.3．Please fill in the blank in the paragraph 3 with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.（Please answer within 10 words）4．Do you like the examinations today? Why?（Please answer within 30 words）5．Translate the underlined sentences in the second paragraph into ChineseV.写作（满分30分）三班的同学进行了一场有关英语学习的讨论。

AEvery Australian Should SwimSwimming Australia is a strong advocate (主张者) of the importance of learning to swim. Every Australian should be taught good swimming skills in a safe and friendly environment. Swimming skills, particularly among children, are important to every individual's safety and overall motor skill development.As a sport, swimming benefits people of all ages and abilities. We hope you develop a passion for swimming and enjoy a long and good relationship with your local swimming club. Before joining a swimming club, children may take swimming lessons through their schools, at the local pools or a private swimming school. When singling_out a learntoswim provider, it is recommended to look for a swimming school registered with Swim Australia or AUSTSWIM.Swimming Australia is proud to provide free copies of Learning to Swim Is Just the Beginning to swimming schools. The DVD will add value to your program and is a great giveaway for new clients. The DVD promotes the benefits of swimming for parents and children with a focus on the importance of water safety and the great work that learntoswim centres are doing to teach people how to swim. The DVD emphasizes how learning to swim is just the beginning of what can develop into a lifelong love of swimming.Launched in 1997 by the Federal Minister for Sport and Recreation, Swimming Australia's mission is to develop “learn to swim” in Aust ralia to its full potential, resulting in all Australians learning to swim and gaining water safety knowledge through safe and enjoyable swimming lessons.For more information, including Course Enrolment details, visit Swim Australia's website.1.

Only new clients can receive it.B. It provides various swimming skills.C. It tells about how swimming is beneficial.D. It mainly shows information of learntoswim centres.3. Swimming Australia aims to ________.A. help people reach their full potentialsB. spread water safety knowledge worldwideC. make swimming a popular sport in AustraliaD. provide safe and enjoyable swimming lessonsBI started to learn English from the first grade. That year I was six. In class I learned basic phrases for greeting and describing objects. I don't have much memory for the first year of English learning. The only thing that I still remember is reading vocabulary list. A classmate of mine who was good at English would lead the whole class to read the list. One of the new wo rds that I learned that year was “earth”. “The earth orbits the sun，” he said in Chinese. Every time we came to the word “earth”，he would repeat that sentence. I was secretly admiring him because he knew the earth orbits the sun.My family moved when I was in my second grade, and I transferred (转学) to a private school. My English class continued. Luckily I could use the same series of text books.I stayed in the same private school for my junior high school, which is from the 7th to the 9th grade. In junior high school, I hardly felt my English skill improved because the first English class here was still titled “Good Morning” and the content was still basic greetings.Following was one year of high school life: a_different_school,_the_same_story.Then my family moved again, and I began to really use English. We came to America.I attended a couple years of high school, and now I'm in college. I learn to write essays and start to read books in English. I can see my progress. However, I still have a lot of space to improve. In writing, the flow between sentences isn't good and I'm stillusing basic words. In speaking, maybe because I hang out with Chinese speaking friends too much, it takes me time to think when telling long stories.4. In Grade One, the author admired that classmate because he ________.A. could speak two languagesB. had a very wide vocabularyC. often led the whole class to readD. knew about the earth and the sun5. How did the author most probably feel during the first English class in junior high school?A. Moved.B. Interested.C. Disappointed.D. Relaxed.6. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 means in senior high school the author ________.A. didn't live a very difficult lifeB. liked her new school very muchC. learned English in a different wayD. had to learn simple English all over again7. What do we learn about the author now?A. She is looked down upon by others.B. She still isn't very fluent in English.C. She has no chance to speak Chinese now.D. She likes practicing English through telling long stories.CLearning Greek mythology is part of having a wellrounded education. Many great works of literature refer back to Greek mythology, and there is no way to properly understand what the greatest authors of all time were saying without knowing about this topic.When literature refers to another famous work of literature, this is called an allusion (暗指), and allusions are common in great literature, not only in books and plays, but in poetry. This is because the great authors thought that people who were reading their literature were educated. One of the basic building blocks of literature that the great books refer to the most is Greek mythology.Some people say that we should not study Greek mythology because it's the study of demons. Do not dismiss (对……不屑一顾) these people or consider them stupid. I have done research, and found in actual fact that the Greek gods were really referred to asdemons. But it doesn't mean we shouldn't learn Greek mythology.Even your understan ding of everyday idioms such as “You've just opened Pandora's box”，or “That's my Achilles' heel” is completely confusing if you avoid reading Greek mythology just because the Greek gods were once called demons. After all, the true study of demons is completely different from the almost comedic mistakes of the Greek gods and goddesses who often have more problems than mere mortals. Flying sandals, ogres (吃人巨妖) with one eye, and a greenfaced woman with snake hair that turns you to stone are more like fairy tales than an invitation to study the dark side.What it comes down to is this: if you do not study Greek mythology, you are reducing your understanding of life as well as literature. You will not understand newspaper allusions and will appear stupid to others, who will shut their ears to you because you don't know even the basics of what everybody knows. Be educated. Gain wisdom. So don't say “no” to Greek mythology.8. What does the author want to show by mentioning great works of literature?A. They are very important to today's readers.B. Great authors like reading Greek mythology.C. Many of them are based on Greek mythology.D. Greek mythology is commonly referred to in them.9. The great authors used allusions because they ________.A. wanted to show they were welleducatedB. wanted to encourage people to read moreC. thought people would benefit from themD. thought readers could understand them10. Which of the following statements would the author agree with?A. Greek mythology is totally the study of demons.B. Many everyday idioms come from Greek mythology.C. Greek mythology is really too scary for young children.D. Learning Greek mythology means learning Greek gods' mistakes.11. What would be the best title for the text?A. Why we should study Greek mythologyB. How to get benefits from reading literatureC. How to understand allusions in literatureD. Why people want to study Greek mythologyDThe world is getting warmer, creating an extinction threat for many species. In our rapidly warming world, species have two choices: they can adapt or go extinct. A species' natural history determines its ability to adapt and its extinction risk. Here I present an overview of some of the carnivore (食肉动物) species for whom climate change presents a big challenge.The lynx (猞猁), whose numbers are low worldwide, must have young forest with diverse structure for hunting and mature forest for dens (洞窟). It can survive only by eating snowshoe hare and often starves to death when it changes prey. Given its low reproductive rate, strict habitat and food needs, the lynx has high extinction risk by 2100.The wolverine, which has experienced historical and recent widespread drops, usually feeds on the meat of dead animals. It needs yearround snow for dens and has low patience with heat. Given the rapidly dropping global level of yearround snow, even in mountainous regions, it has high extinction risk by 2100.The grizzly bear can eat over 270 different foods. However, this species needs high protein at important times. Global warming is reducing their key foods. While the grizzly bear's low reproductive rate limits its survival, its diverse diet will enable it to adapt to climate change. If it continues to be protected, it faces low extinction risk by 2100.The polar bear has low patience with heat. This polar species' primary prey is the ringed seal, which it can kill only on ice. Also, it requires a highfat diet that only seal meat can provide. Due to its low reproductive rate and dependence on ice, the polar bear has high extinction risk by 2100.12. It's implied in Paragraph 1 that climate change ________.A. doesn't affect all species equallyB. has the biggest threat to the carnivore speciesC. can't make our world become warm rapidlyD. will have a negative influence on all species13. What do we learn about the lynx?A. It can be easily hunted by its enemies.B. It likes hunting food in mature forests.C. A female lynx can give birth to many young ones.D. It completely depends on snowshoe hare for food.14. Which of the following can be the biggest threat to the wolverine?A. Losing snowshoe hare.B. Losing snow for dens.C. Being in a very cold place.D. Being unable to hunt living animals.15. According to the text, which of the following has the lowest extinction risk?A. The lynx.B. The wolverine.C. The grizzly bear.D.

for？Some people seem to think it’s for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists，the better.That’s nguage is for the exchange of ideas and information.It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely.Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules，but they can’t speak correctly or fluently.They are afraid of making mistakes.One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language.Native speakers make mistakes and break rules，too.Bernard Shaw once wrote，“Foreigners_often_speak_English_too_correctly.”But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make.They’re English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule，it is no longer a rule.What used to be wrong bees right.People not only make history，they make language.But a people can only make its own language.It can’t make another people’s language.So Chinese students of English shouldpay attention to grammar，but they shouldn’t overdo(做过头) it.They should put munication first. 1．According to the passage, language is used to ______.A．express oneselfB．practise grammar rulesC．talk with foreigners onlyD．learn lists of words2．Generally，when an American or an Englishman speaks English，he or she ________.A．never makes mistakesB．often makes mistakesC．can’t avoid making mistakesD．always makes mistakes3．The underlined sentence “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”means that ________.A．foreigners speak correct EnglishB．foreigners speak incorrect EnglishC．foreigners speak English according to the grammar rulesD．foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English4．When we speak a foreign language，we should ________.A．speak in Chinese wayB．speak by the rulesC．speak to native speakersD．not be afraid of making mistakesBFor me，my great moment came when I actually decided to accept an opportunity to teach English in Shanghai.There were times when I almost gave up because of fear.But in the end I came here.Last summer，a Canadian-Chinese woman who teaches in Shanghai just happened to e to the place where I was working in the Seattle area.We talked and I said I had always wanted to teach abroad.She said，“e to our school.”“Okay，” I replied，but I wasn’t sure if I meant it.We met later for coffee.She answered all of my questions about the school，and gave me the website address and the email address of the person to contact.It took six months for me to finally decide on the job.First of all，in Shanghai there are many western places to eat western food and lots of interesting things to do.Also，there is a great subway system with directions and stops posted in English.Finding your way around is a challenge in a new place.But that isn’t hard here.Taxis arevery cheap；you can always jump in one and get home.There are also a lot of westerners in Shanghai，so it is fairly easy to ask for directions.Young Chinese people are much more likely to speak English and they are wonderfully helpful.I earn almost $1,000 per month and live in a nice rent-free apartment.My biggest expense has been food as I am a vegetarian(素食者)and also on a diet.I still have not got used to the traditional Chinese food，but if you like it，you’ll be in heaven.Here I have a good place to live in，new friends，a high salary，and a good job.In the US，getting a job at my age has been next to impossible for a woman.5．We can infer that at first the writer ________.A．wasn’t interested in teaching abroad at allB．wasn’t sure whether to accept the job to teach in ShanghaiC．knew she would be popular as a teacher in ChinaD．thought the Canadian-Chinese woman was joking6．According to the passage，it seems that ________.A．there are no good restaurants for the writer in ShanghaiB．the writer sometimes feels lonely in ShanghaiC．the writer doesn’t like traveling in ShanghaiD．the writer likes her life in Shanghai7．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．Living in a new place.B．Dealing with a challenge.C．Finding your way around.D．Taking a taxi.8．According to the last but one paragraph，the writer ________.A．is satisfied with her weightB．doesn’t have to pay for rentC．doesn’t like eating vegetablesD．is crazy about the traditional Chinese food答案基础落实Ⅰ.1.A 2.C 3.A 4.D 5.BⅡ.1.as 2.way 3.on 4.lie

Generally, it is agreed that no one version is “correct”. However, thereare certainly preferences in use. The most important thing is to try to be consistent (前后一致的) in your usage. If you decide that you want to use the American English spelling, then be consistent in your spelling (i.e. The color of the orange is also its flavour — color is an American spelling and flavour is British). This is of course not always easy — or possible. The following guide is meant to point out two differences between these two varieties of English.Use of the Present PerfectIn British English the present perfect is used to express an action that has occurred in the recent past that has an effect on the present moment. For example:I’ve lost my key. Can you help me look for it?In American English the following is also possible:I lost my key. Can you help me look for it?In British English the above would be considered incorrect. However, both forms are generally accepted in standard American English.PossessionThere are two forms to express possession in English: have or have gotDo you have a car?Have you got a car?While b oth forms are correct (and accepted in both British and American English), “have got” (have you got, he hasn’t got, etc.) is generally the preferred form in British English while most speakers of American English employ “have” (do you have, he doesn’t have etc.).As you can see, there are really very few differences between standard British English and standard American English. However, the largest difference is probably that of the choice of vocabulary and pronunciation.41. By saying “no one version is ‘correct’” in Paragraph 1, what does the writer mean?A. There is no best English variety.B. Every English variety is perfect.C. Every English variety has its problems.D. There is no absolutely correct English variety.42. English learners are advised to use .A. the best English varietyB. different English varietiesC. one English varietyD. easy English varieties43. Which of the following is NOT accepted in British English?A. Have you finished your homework yet?B. I’ve already seen that film. It’s interesting.C. I lost my dictionary. I need to buy a new one.D. I’ve just had lunch. I’m full.44. If you prefer American English, you’ll most probably say “”.A. Do you have an MP5 player?B. Have you got an MP5 player?C. He hasn’t got any friends.D. Has she really got an iPhone 5?45. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. The pronunciation differences between American and British English.B. The vocabulary differences between American and British English.C. The spelling differences between American and British English.D. The grammar differences between American and British English.B“Satellite” is any object that orbits another object, held close by gravity. The moon is a satellite of the Earth, and the Earth is a satellite of the sun. These are natural satellites. Manmade satellites, which are built on Earth and launched into space, are used for communications, scientific studies and military applications (军事用途).In the last 50 years, human beings have launched thousands of artificial satellites into space. When a satellite stops working, it usually falls back toward the Earth and burns up in the atmosphere. Satellites at high altitudes, however, sometimes remain i n Earth’s orbit.Later, they may fall apart or break into thousands of smaller pieces. The higher the satellite, the longer itstays in orbit, and the more likely it is to fall apart. The pieces may stay in orbit for years, decades or even centuries.Most pieces fly through space at more than 20 times the speed that sound travels on Earth. Going that fast, even the smallest pieces mean big troubles for spacecrafts. For example, a tiny stone in orbit around the Earth can have as much energy as a bowling ball going 500 miles per hour, or a car going 30 miles per hour.In 1983, a small gouge(半圆凿) appeared in one window of the space shuttle Challenger while it was in space. When the shuttle returned to the Earth and scientists analyzed the window, they found that the crack was caused by a tiny, orbiting fleck (微粒). If the shuttle had been struck by a larger piece of junk, the astronauts might have been in danger.Scientists keep track of the largest pieces. When the shuttle is in orbit, for example, their attention is on nearby junk that may get in the way. If there is even a small chance of a collision, then the shuttle changes direction.46. What will happen if a satellite doesn’t function?A. It will fall back to the moon.B. It will be destroyed by people on the earth.C. It will stay in the earth’s orbit forever.D. It will break into pie ces but stay in Earth’s orbit.47. Why does the author give the example of Challenger in Paragraph 5?A. To tell us how spacecrafts work in outer space.B. To tell us the big trouble space junk may make to spacecrafts.C. To tell us how fast space junk can travel in outer space.D. To let us know more about Challenger.48. How do scientists deal with the danger of space junk?A. By reducing its speed of flying through space.B. By changing the direction of a spacecraft.C. By collecting as much as possible.D. By getting larger pieces of junk out of the way.49. Which of the following might be the most suitable title of the passage?A. Satellites in controlB. Astronauts in troubleC. Dangers in orbitD. Flying in space50. In which section of a website does the text probably appear?A. Entertainment.B. Science.C. Lifestyles.D. Careers.CThis summer, kids may check out some of the following exciting new books:A Hero for WondLaA Hero for WondLa is the sequel (续集) to The Search for WondLa by best-selling author Tony DiTerlizzi. In the first WondLa book, readers were introduced to 12-year-old Eva Nine, a girl who was raised by a robot. This book follows Eva in her quest to the human city of New Attica. She is eager to meet other humans. But when she gets to New Attica, she learns that everything is not as it seems. She learns a shocking secret about her family and later must flee for her life.Castle of ShadowsPrincess Charlie lives in the imaginary land of Quale. Ever since her mother disappeared and her father went mad, Charlie has been leading a miserable life. If only her mother, the queen, would show up, everything would be alright. When Charlie finds a note from her mother stuck in a book, it is the first clue that things are about to change. With the help of Tobias, the gardener’s assistant, she begins the search for her mother.Kizzy Ann StampsKizzy Ann Stamps is an African-American girl who is new in a public school. She is nervous and excited, and she expresses her feelings in letters to her new teacher. At first, the other students at school do not accept her, but gradually their feelings change, and they become more open-minded and friendly. She seeks comfort from her dog, Shag. Her neighbor Frank Cha rles’ interest in Shag leads him to get to know Kizzy Ann and breaks down thebarriers between them.Sword MountainDandelion is a young eagle whose parents are killed while fighting to save her life. The good-hearted Prince Fleydur finds Dandelion and takes her to the Castle of the Sky. Old Fleydur adopts Dandelion as his daughter, and she becomes a princess. But trouble lies ahead.

The text is mainly intended for .A. teachersB. childrenC. writersD. parentsDRobert Rosenthal and Lenore Jacobson report and discuss the Pygmalion Effect in the classroom in details. In their study, they showed that if teachers were led to expect better performance from some children, then the children did show that way.The purpose of the experiment was to support the hypothesis(假设) that reality can be influenced by the expectations of others. This influence can be beneficial as well as harmful. The effect, however, is tested in real life situations.All students in a single Californian elementary school were given an IQ test at the beginning of the study. These scores were not shown to the teachers. The teachers were told that some of their students could be expected to perform better than expected in comparison to their classmates. Their names were made known to the teachers. At the end of the study all students were again tested with the same IQ test. All six graders in both experimental and control groups showed a small difference in IQ from pretest(测试前) to posttest. However, the first and second graders showed big differences favoring the experimental group. This led to the conclusion that teachers’ expectations, p articularly for the youngest children, can influence students’ achievement.In this experiment, Rosenthal predicted that elementary school teachers may behave in ways that encourage the students’ success. The prior research that motivated this study was do ne in 1911 by psychologists regarding the case of Clever Hans, a horse that gained fame because it was supposed to be able to read, spell, and solve math problems by using its hoof to answer. Many skeptics (怀疑论者) suggested that questioners and observers were unintentionally signaling Clever Hans. For example, Clever Hans would be given a math problem to solve, and the audience would get very tense and he tapped his foot to the right number, thus giving Hans the clue he needed to tap the correct number of times.56. What was the purpose of the experiment done in the Californian elementary school?A. To prove that students are smarter than teachers.B. To explain what the Pygmalion Effect was.C. To help the teachers teach students better.D. To prove that others’ expectations can influence reality.57. Before the experiment, the teachers in the elementary school .A. were given an IQ test as wellB. were told nothing about those studentsC. were told who would perform better in the classD. knew the influence would be harmful to the students58. What can we learn from the result of the experiment?A. Teachers all behaved in the way they were told.B. Teachers’ expectations wouldn’t influence six graders.C. Six graders showed a big difference in IQ after the test.D. Teachers’ expectations influenced the younger children better.59. The example of the horse in the last paragraph shows that .A. it would be better influenced as it grew olderB. it would become more nervous as the audience encouraged itC. it wouldn’t become famous without the help of the audienceD. it would solve math problems better by the expectations of the audience60. The passage is mainly about .A. the test of the Pygmalion EffectB. the process of the Pygmalion EffectC. the Pygmalion Effect on animalsD. the history of the Pygmalion EffectEAustralian English began separating from British English shortly after the foundation of the Australian penal colony (罪犯流放地) of New South Wales in 1788. British convicts sent there, including cockneys (伦敦人) from London, came mostly from large English cities. They were joined by free settlers, military personnel and officials, often with their families. However, many of the convicts were Irish, with at least 25% directly from Ireland, and others indirectly via Britain. There were other populations of convicts from non-English speaking areas of Britain, such as the Welsh and Scots. The transportation of convicts to Australia ended in 1868, but immigration of free settlers from Britain, Ireland and elsewhere continued.The earliest form of Australian English was first spoken by the children of the colonists born into the colony of New South Wales. This very first generation of children created a new dialect that was to become the language of the nation. The Australian-born children in the new colony were exposed to a wide range of different dialects from all over the British Isles, in particular from Ireland and the southeastern part of England.The native-born children of the colony created the new dialect from factors present in the speech they heard around them, and provided a way for the expression of peer solidarity (一致). Even when new settlers arrived, this new dialect was strong enough to turn away from the influence of other patterns of speech.Records from the early 19th century indicated the distinctive dialect had appeared in the colony since the first settlement. In 1827 Peter Cunningham, in his book Two Years in New South Wales, described that the native-born colonists spoke with a distinctive accent and vocabulary, with a strong London influence. Anthony Burgess wrote that “Australian English may be thought of as a kind of fossilised (僵化的) cockney (伦敦腔) of the Dickensian era”.61. Who didn’t go to Australia with the convicts?A. Miners.B. Soldiers.C. Officials.D. Free settlers.62. Who created the earliest form of Australian English?A. Convicts sent to Australia.B. Free settlers into Australia.C.

模块质量测评(四)Module 4Which English(时间：90分钟满分：110分)第一部分阅读理解(共两节；满分30分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AWhen I was growing up in the 1930s, the period of the Great Depression, I didn't think of our family as poor, even though we never seemed to have money. I lived on a small farm in Pennsylvania with my parents, two elder sisters, and a younger brother. We had an old horse, a cow, a few pigs, some chickens, and a big garden. Food was not a problem. We had our own supply of milk, meat, eggs, fresh vegetables, and Momma's homemade bread.As a boy of nine, I had only a vague (模糊的) idea of what it meant to live during hard times. The weekly newspaper would carry pictures of people standing in line for bread, and the evening broadcast would tell about the huge number of jobless people and their hardships. But these reports referred to people in the cities, and we lived in the country. We never went to bed hungry, and we didn't stand in line for bread.Although my father was fortunate to have a job at the feed mill (饲料加工厂), eighteen dollars a week was only enough to pay the electric bill and to buy necessities. Momma earned a few dollars baking pies and bread.To make nightclothes, Momma used the cotton bags in which the food for our chickens came. It wasn't until years later when my high-school class went on an overnight trip that I got my first store-bought nightwear.When a piece of clothing was worn out, it wasn't thrown away. First,all the buttons were removed, grouped by size and colour, and put in cans or glass jars. Then the clothing was examined, and the best parts were saved for making rugs (地毯). Almost nothing in our house was thrown away.Although we tend to think of recycling as something fairly new, in the 1930s it was part of everyday life. “Waste not, want not” was a familiar and often repeated phrase during those Depression years.语篇解读本文是记叙文。
