majority of whom live on the upper parts of the Longjiang andDuliu rivers, which go across plains and vast areas of forestsin southern Guizhou Province.Some Shuis have their homes in thenorthwestern part of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.The area in which the Shuis live is a land of plenty.Wheat, rape①， and ramie are grown, along with a great variety of citrus and other fruits. The forests are a source of timber② and medicinal herbs③. The Duliu and other rivers are full of fish.The Shui language is in the ZhuangDong branch of the ChineseTibetan language family. The Shuis used to have an old writing script④.Some of their words were pictographs ⑤， while others resembled Chinese characters written upside down. Except for scores of these ancient words that are still used for religious purposes, the Shuis use written Chinese in their daily lives.The Shuis have lots of colourful oral literature and art.Their literature includes poetry, legends, fairy tales and fables.Stories and fables praise the diligence, bravery, wisdom and love of the Shui ethnic group and satirize⑥ the stupidity of the rulers. With rich content and vivid plots, Shui tales are usually highly romantic.Their songs, which are usually sung without the accompaniment⑦ of musical instruments, fall into two categories. The “grand songs” are sung while they work, whereas the “wine songs” are meant for wedding feasts or funerals. The Shui people are good dancers. The Lusheng Dance and the Copper Drum Dance are the most popular dances, enjoyed by all on festive occasions.[词海拾贝]rape[reɪp]n. 油菜timber['tɪmbə(r)]n.木材herb[hɜːb]n.草药script[skrɪpt] n．书写系统，字母表pictograph['pɪktəɡrɑːf]n.象形文字satirize['sætɪraɪz] v．讽刺accompaniment[ə'kʌmpənɪmənt]n.伴奏Section ⅠWarmup & Lesson 1—ComprehendingGet ahead with①your EnglishIt was predicted as early as the 1700s that② English would one day be the global ③ language and that has proved to be the case in the last few decades④. The growth of international companies and the great advances in communications have started the trend⑤ for learning English as a foreign language. In today’s world, being able to speak more than one language⑥， including English, is how you stand out⑦ and get ahead⑧.However, learning English as a foreign language⑨is very difficult in the absence ⑩of a native language environment. Some respected theories⑪ on language acquisition ⑫believe that to attain a high level of fluency and accuracy in a foreign language ⑬， you need to be surrounded⑭ by it. But sadly, the chances that we will all have the opportunity to live in an Englishspeaking country⑮ are small. Therefore, most of us have to rely on⑯ what we can learn at school as part of the school curriculum ⑰.Our latest English curriculum encourages teachers to create a rich language environment in the classroom.

Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code，each movement of the hands representing a word in English.At the time，American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English.But Stokoe believed the“hand talk”his students used looked richer.He wondered ： Might deaf people actually have a genuine language？And could that language be unlike any other on earth？It was 1955 ， when even deaf people dismissed their signing as “substandard”．Stokoe's idea was academic heresy.

故B项符合题意。
2.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to “”.A.a T-shirtB.a storyC.a strangerD.a place,作者的表哥拥有的每一件T恤衫背后都有一个他愿意和他人分享的故事。
由此可知,it指代的是aT-shirt。
3.We can learn from the text that Roger .A.had few good friendsB.was afraid of his illnessC.seldom contacted the authorD.was loved by everyone who knew him,作者的表哥爱着身边的每一个人;大家也都很爱他。
4.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A.To feel pity for Roger.B.To encourage readers to help others.C.To encourage readers to be positive all the time.D.To show that health is the most important thing.,积极乐观地面对生活的故事。
由此可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励读者积极面对生活。
BIn English there are some expressions that use vegetables and fruits.For example,you might say a person is as cool as a cucumber if he never seems to worry about anything and stays calm in a stressful situation.If two people are very similar,you might say they are like two peas in a pod.There are several expressions about beans.If someone is very energetic,you might say he is full of beans.If you say something does not amount to a hill of beans,you mean it is of little importance.If you spill the beans,you tell something that was supposed to be a secret.Potatoes are a popular food in many areas.But something is considered a small potato if it is not important.You probably would not want to hold a hot potato in your bare hands.This also means a problem or an issue that no one wants to deal with.Someone might call you a couch potato if you sit and watch television all day and get little or no physical exercise.Students often have to take a difficult test to gain entrance to a special school.So you could say the ones who are chosen are the best ones,or the cream of the crop.There is an old saying that forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest.That means some people get pleasure from doing something that they are not supposed to do.Finally,let us talk about lemons.Lemons have a sour taste if you eat them plain.But lemons make a nice drink when you mix their juice with sugar and water.So here is an expression about lemons that we like:if life gives you lemons,make lemonade.This means you should always try to make the best of a bad situation.5.Which of the following is used to refer to a person who always keeps calm in a stressful situation?A.A pea.B.A potato.C.A cucumber.D.A lemon.6.According to the passage,small potatoes mean .A.things that don’t amount to a hill of beansB.the potatoes that are small in sizeC.some important thingsD.priceless thingsButsomethingisconsideredasmallpotatoifitisnotimportant.”可知,smallpotatoes指的是不重要的事情;再由第三段中的“Ifyousaysomethingdoesnotamounttoahillofbeans,youmeanitisoflittleimportance.”可知,该表达法的意思与smallpotatoes的含义相近。
