4、to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelingsHelp them If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them.

The 8
10、-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the of kid who would enjoy public speaking.But hes, nervous. “Im here to tell you today why you should should”Chris trips on the“-ld,”a. pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whale
11、y, is next to him, whispering support“Vote for me ”Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley reca
12、lls(回想起)how at the beginning of the year，when called upon to read，Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student， ” Whaley explains， “espe
13、cially for a student who is learning English as their new language，to feel confident enough to say， I dont know，but I want to know.”Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a pre
14、sident. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast(夸耀 )about themselves.“Boasting about yourself，and your best qualities,” Whaley says， “is very difficult for a child who came into the classr
15、oom not feeling confident.”24. What made Chris nervous？A. Telling a story. B. Making a speech.C. Taking a test. D. Answering a question.25. What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Improper pauses. B. Bad manners. C. Spelling mistakes. D. Silly jokes.26. We can infer that

Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher?A. Humorous. B. Ambitious. C. Caring. D.
17、 Demanding.CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some
18、language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In rece
19、nt centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and C
20、hinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Eu
21、rope has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people th
22、an that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one,
23、with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.28. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times? A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number.C. They had similar patterns. D. They were closely connected.29. Which of the following best explains “
24、dominant “ underlined in paragraph 2？A. Complex. B. Advanced. C. Powerful. D. Modern.30. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present? A. About 6,800 B. About 3,400 C. About 2,400 D. About 1,20031. What is the main idea of the text? A. New languages will be created.B. Peoples
25、lifestyles are reflected in languages.C. Human development results in fewer languages.D. Geography determines language evolution.DMany people have excuses for not learning a foreign language. One of the common ones is that they dont have a gift for language learning. The excuse that one has no talen
26、t for learning a certain skill is a tragedy in itself, and this common excuse has possibly discouraged millions of people from accomplishing great things.Many experts and scholars, such as K. Ander Ericsson, one of the worlds leading theoretical (理论的) and experimental researchers, have proposed the
27、theory that skill is mostly a matter of large amounts of deliberate practice. Books such as The Talent Code have helped popularize it. While I do not personally believe that we all learn at the same pace or that we are all born the same, I certainly believe that we can all achieve amazing results be
28、yond our imagination, simply through motivation and hard work. To be specific, anything can be learned, unless of course, you start with the belief that you are not talented.The truth is that if you think you are not talented in languages, it probably has something to do with your track record in la
29、nguage classes at school. This isnt surprising because the curriculum of language classes is made so that it teaches languages in one way, whereas we all learn differently. It might be good at this point to mention that doing interesting stuff does significantly help with the acquisition(获得) of a fo
30、reign language. For most of us, this excludes(排除) grammar and drills to a large extent.In my interview with polyglotspeaking or using many languagesand author Susanna Zaraysky, Susanna said that her teacher in high school once told her that she should probably look for another subject to focus her e
31、fforts on instead of languages. Susanna now speaks nine languages, has written a book entitled Language is Music, and has traveled to exciting places all over the world. Benny Lewis, probably one of the best known language learners and bloggers on the Internet, has a strikingly similar story, and he
32、 now speaks over 12 languages. Not “talented”, eh?32 What is the excuse for language learning mentioned in the text?AI cannot learn languages well.BI have no genius for learning language.C Im not fond of learning languages.DI dont consider foreign languages vital.33 What does the underlined word “it
33、” in paragraph 2 refer to?AThe book named The Talent Code.BA great deal of purposeful practice.C The idea that a new language is a new skill.DThe theory that practice helps one gain a skill.34 Which of the following statements might the author probably agree with?ALanguage classes arent suitable for
34、 everyone.BSchools usually try to make language classes interesting.C Grammar and drills are the least important in language learning.DThe talent for languages makes you interested in learning them.35 How does the author explain his idea in the last paragraph?ABy telling stories. BBy explaining fact
35、s.C By giving examples. DBy making comparison.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 。 选 项 中 有 两 项 为 多 余 选项 。How to Improve Vocabulary FastYour vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with.

37、or each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.Elaborate (详尽阐述) on the meaning of the word.
