A company has just launched(发起) what it calls “the world’s first free standardized English test” recently. Anyone can take the tes t for free. The new exam is called the EFSET, which is short for Education First Standardized English Test. The company, Education First, is known by the letters EF.
It is reported that there are two billion English language learners worldwide. Many of them are interested in attending an American college or university. To do so, foreign students need to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language—better known as TOEFL. However, many foreigners are not rich enough to take the TOEFL. In addition, test-takers often have to travel overnight to reach an official testing site. The World Bank says an average Cambodian worker earns only about $1,000 per year. The cost of taking the TOEFL is about 17.5 percent of the average worker’s yearly
wage.
It is not just individuals who find the test pricey. Some governments also find it too expensive. What’s more, not everyone needs official results from the TOEFL or IELTS—the International English Language Testing System. In the future, it’s likely that the government may use the EFSET to test millions of employees and students.
Experts believe that the EFSET meets the highest value in language testing. It uses special computer software that makes the questions easier or harder, depending on one’s performance. The EFSET measures all the English learners’ levels while the IELTS and TOEFL only measure learners’ levels from intermediate(中等的) to advanced. The EFSET is unique in the sense that it gives free online access to anyone interested in measuring their English level.
There is a 50-minute and a two-hour version of the test, which its developers are calling the EFSET Plus. Both versions test only reading and listening skills. It’s hopeful that speaking and writing skills will be tested in the future. The IELTS and the TOEFL still use humans to rate the speaking and writing sections. It’s a huge deal for students who are in areas where they can’t get to the TOEFL or the IELTS. However, it is too early to know whether the EFSET results are acceptable for colleges and universities in America.
21.Why do many foreign students take the TOEFL?
A.To learn English well.
B.To be admitted to key universities.
C.To receive further education in America.
D.To find good jobs and earn much money.
22.What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A.The cost of taking the TOEFL is very high.
B.Only rich people can take the TOEFL.
C.There are many official testing sites for the TOEFL around the world.
D.Few of the students in Cambodia can afford to take the TOEFL.
23.What can we learn about the EFSET?
A.It is similar to the TOEFL and the IELTS.
B.Everybody with different English levels can take it for free.
C.It tests the skills of reading, listening, writing and speaking.
D.American universities accept the EFSET results for admission.

Our room was on the second floor but you could still hear the roar（咆哮）of the ocean and see the stars at night. I used to take long walks along the water. The food in town was wonderful and the people were very friendly. The area was very quiet, peaceful and fairly deserted.
The last evening of our vacation, however, we all heard strange footsteps following closely behind us as we were walking up to our room in the holiday centre. We turned around and noticed a fairly young man moving very rapidly across the beach and getting closer to us. He was tall and wore a baseball cap. We couldn’t see his face and he was approaching us very rapidly. The man’s actions made my dad very anxious. Dad warned us that we’d better try to mak e it to our hotel room as quickly as possible. I didn’t like my dad’s voice. I could hear anxiety in it. It was late and we were all alone. We didn’t have any cell phones on us. I never saw Dad as anxious as he was then and I knew that something was terribly wrong. The sense of fear started to overwhelm Mom and me. We had had such a good time in town. Now, the night was rapidly turning into a dangerous situation.
We could hear the man’s footsteps getting closer. Dad’s face was almost pale. The so-called intruder (侵入者) had moved nearer and nearer when all of a sudden, the nearby vending (自动贩卖) machine started going crazy and spitting out cans of soda! The noise actually scared the intruder and he ran out of sight. My parents were shaking, but we all turned around to see who had put money into the vending machine downstairs, and actually saved us, but no one was around at all. Not a soul.
It’s one vacation I will never forget.

Benjamin Franklin clearly knew how to get things done. After scanning the long list of Benjamin Franklin’s achievements, one can only come to one conclusion that the American man probably never had a wasted day in his life. When he was 84 years old, he became a successful author, printer, politician, postmaster, inventor, musician, and diplomat.
There's much we can learn from Benjarin Frankin's work habits and opinions on life that can increase our own productivity. Here are some ways Franklin overcame lazy, wasted days.
Start a group and share knowledge. When Franklin was 21, he was a struggling printer in Philadelphia. To increase his connections and to learn more about his industry, he created a group. The group was in great need of books, but books were expensive. Franklin helped start a library where books were bought and lent to members. This sharing of knowledge, experience, and connections helped Franklin become a famous and respected printer in Philadelphia.
Attack opportunities. "To succeed," Fr anklin wrote,” jump as quickly at opportunities as you can." We can all agree, but when an opportunity comes we often look the other way. It's because the opportunity isn't dressed the way we expect. We often think that the opportunity was only in the form of a golden egg or a
million-dollar lottery ticket or a new job offer. But more often than not, the opportunity comes in smaller, less beautiful packages.
Time is something in short supply. Franklin wrote “Lost time is never found again." This may sound like it came from the pen of a poet, but it's really an inspirational call to action. Franklin worked, created, and lived knowing that time is scarce. He never put off his work.
While Franklin was an able inventor we can be sure that his notebook contained a few unsuccessful ideas . Franklin wrote,“ Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.'
28.Benjamin Franklin succeeded in many ways mainly because______.
A.he was very clever and popular.
B.he could make good use of his time.
C.he often shared knowledge with others.
D.he could do many things at the same time.
29.The underlined word “ industry” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to_____.
A.writing.
B.invention.
C.music.
D.printing.
30.For many people who want to succeed，opportunities_____.
A.are easy to catch hold of.
B.are difficult to see and attack.
C.are often dressed the way we expect.
D.always come in the form of a golden egg.
31.From the last paragraph we can learn_____.
A.Franklin wrote a lot of famous poems.
B.Franklin sometimes wasted time.
C.Franklin never met with failures.
D.Franklin learned
from failures.
三、任务型阅读
For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. 32. Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate.
The disease, known as “March Madness”，refers to the yearly 65-team US men's college basketball tournament (锦标赛). 33. Teams compete against each other in a single-elimination (单局淘汰) tournament that eventually crowns a national champion.
Nearly 20 million Americans will find themselves prisoners of basketball festival madness. The fun comes partly from guessing the winners for every game. Friends compete against friends. 34. Colleagues against bosses.
Big-name schools are usually favored to advance into the tournament. But each year there are dark horses from little-known universities.
This adds to the madness. Watching a team from a school with 3,000 students beat a team from a school with 30,000, for many Americans, is an exciting experience. Two years ago, the little-known George Mason University was one of the final four teams.
35.
College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 36. About $4 billion will be spent gambling (赌) on the event. According to Media Life magazine, the event will bring in $500 million in advertising income this year, topping the post－season income of every US professional league, including that of the NBA.
A．Husbands against wives.
B．The players will go all out for the games.
C．But that doesn't mean money isn't involved.
D．College students will ignore piles of homework.
E．People are willing to spend more money on watching it.
F．It begins on March 15 and lasts through the beginning of April.
G．Many people had never even heard of the university before the tournament.
四、书面表达

Dear Peter,
I' m pleased to receive your email. I' m sorry to learn that some of your classmates have begun to smoke. As everybody knows, smoking threatens health.
Smoking is more harmful to teenagers than adults. The younger a person is when he begins to smoke, the more likely. he is to develop nicotine addiction. Besides, it is a waste of money to smoke. Not only smoking is harmful to teenagers health, but it also affects their minds and deeds. From their point of view, it's cool to smoke and some even steal money to buy cigarettes.
In short, your classmates should give up smoking at once. Only in this way can they keep healthy.
Best wishes
