AMany foreign students are interested in knowing what a typical (典型的) school day is like in an English primary school. Here is an introduction.At our school, school begins at 8：55 am. The duty teacher blows a whistle (哨子) and the children line up in their class groups. They wait quietly for the teacher to send them to their classrooms.The first lesson of the day begins at 9：30 am. Our morning lessons are usually English or mathematics. Each of these lessons lasts for an hour.The children have their morning break from 10：30 am to 10：45 am. Our children bring a snack from home to eat on the playgrounds. We now have an hour and fifteen minutes before lunch time. The first fifteen minutes may be spent giving the children their weekly spelling test. The children will then have an English or mathematics lesson before lunch time.Lunch time is from 12 noon to 1：10 pm. Most children bring their lunch from home. Some children will have a cooked school dinner. While the children are waiting to have their lunch or after they have finished eating, they play games on the playgrounds or attend lunch time clubs. We have Midday Supervisors (指导者) who look after the children during lunch time. Teachers are also on hand to help out and supervise. They take it in turns to be on duty during lunch time.After lunch time, lessons resume with reading activities. This could be the whole class quietly reading or the children do some reading in groups. The rest of the afternoon is spent learning one or two of our other school subjects.1．What is this passage mainly about?A．The food pupils usually have in an English primary school.B．The activities pupils in England do during the breaks.C．The main subjects pupils learn in an English school.D．A typical school day in an English primary school.2．We can know from the passage that ________.A．school usually begins at 9：30 amB．the first lesson ends at 10：30 amC．some lessons last longer than an hourD．there is no mathematics lesson in the morning3．We can learn from Paragraph 5 that ________.A．no teachers can be seen on the playgrounds during lunch timeB．lunch is usually not provided by the schoolC．children usually go out of the school after lunchD．the school provides a snack to every pupil daily4．What does the underlined word “resume” in the last paragraph mean?A．appear.B．change.C．continue.D．improve.BIf you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come_across，but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example, in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practise listening.For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.5．According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?A．Reading and listening.B．Reading and writing.C．Writing and speaking.D．Speaking and listening.6．The underlined phrase “come across” in the second paragraph can probabl y be replaced by “________”．A．meet by accident B．discoverC．find on purpose D．look for7．The author seems to agree with the view that ________.A．everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every dayB．you needn't practise listening if you keep on reading every dayC．being good at reading is helpful in improving your listeningD．you should take notes of whatever you are hearingCI was in a strange city I didn't know at all, and what's more, I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed, rode on it for several stops, then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough, then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time, I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived, and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully, nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.8．The writer preferred to walk back to his hotel because ________.A．he had no money to buy a ticketB．he wanted to lose himself in the cityC．he tried to know the city in this wayD．it was late and there were no buses passing by9．The newspaper-seller________.A．didn't know where the hotel wasB．didn't understand what the writer saidC．could understand what the writer saidD．didn't want to take the money from the writer10．From the story we know that the policeman________.A．was kind but didn't understand the writerB．told the writer where to take a trainC．knew what the writer really meantD．was cold-hearted and didn't help the writer11．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．The writer got close to the hotel where he stayed.B．The writer got to the hotel with the policeman's help.C．The writer found he was much farther away from the hotel.D．The writer found the hotel in the direction the policeman pointed.12．In your opinion, what was the writer's real trouble?A．He didn't know the city at all.B．He couldn't speak the language.C．He went too far in the wrong bus.D．He followed the policeman's direction.DThe airline lost your baggage. The hotel laundry(洗衣房) ruined your favorite shirt. The taxi driver overcharged you. When you're abroad, sometimes things go wrong. Now you can do something about it! Use these tips when you want to express an effective complaint in English.No matter how unfair the situation, it's best to phrase your complaint politely. In English, you'll sound more polite if you use indirect language. Here are some examples：“I'm sorry to bother you...” Starting a complaint like this puts the listener who may have heard many complaints that day at ease. Use this phrase if the situation isn't that serious. For example, “I'm sorry to bother you, but I wanted a baked potato, not fries.”“Can you help me with this？” Everyone would much rather be asked to do something than told! So try phrasing your complaint a s a request for help: “Can you help me with this? My shirt came back from the laundry without buttons.”“I'm afraid there may be a misunderstanding.” This is a polite way of saying, “Your information is wrong. Please fix it now.” You'll most likely use thi s phrase if you made reservations(预定) for a flight, hotel or restaurant, and when you arrive, it's not what you expected. For example, “I'm afraid there may be a misunderstanding. I requested a non-smoking room.”“I understand it's not your fault...” Often when you make a complaint, you deal with a person who was not directly responsible for the problem. But the problem isn't your fault, either! This phrase is helpful when you need swift action. Tell the person you're dealing with you understand they're not at fault and then directly state the problem: “I understand it's not your fault, but the airline promised they would deliver my baggage yesterday.”“Excuse me, but I understood that...” Using this phrase lets the person know you're well-informed and are suspicious they might be trying to take advantage of you. Don't say, “Hey! You're trying to cheat me！”Instead, start indirectly by stating what you know to be true: “I understood that the taxi ride to the airport was only 25 dollars.” Then give them an opp ortunity to do the right thing.13．According to the passage, if we meet an unfair situation, we'd better ________.A．state our complaints politelyB．go for the police immediatelyC．use indirect language to hurt peopleD．fight against the one who is responsible14．Why should we start a complaint with polite phrases?A．Because the situation is never serious.B．Because the listener may not speak English.C．Because it can help solve the problem more easily.D．Because we should be always in good manners abroad.15．Several effective complaints in English are mentioned above EXCEPT ________.A．“Can you help me with this？”B．“I understand it's not your fault.”C．“Hey! You're trying to cheat me！”D．“I'm afraid there may be a misunderstanding.”第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
