Last Sunday evening my parents went out for a walk with my sister. But I studied alone at home because I would have an English test. Suddenly, I saw bright light in my neighbor’s kitchen. I thought he was cooking so I went on studying.

Soon, there was a terrible smell in the air and I thought something was wrong. I went out and saw fire coming out of my neighbor’s kitchen. So I shouted “Fire! Fire!” But no one heard or came out.

I ran quickly into my house to call 119, and then I rang my neighbor’s doorbell, knocked at the door, but there was no response. I got into the house through the window and found my neighbor sleeping in his bedroom. I woke him up and we rushed out of the house together.

We tried our best to pour water through the kitchen window, but the fire was too heavy. Luckily, the firemen came and put out the fire quickly. When my parents came back, they found I was dirty and tired. After my neighbor told them the whole story, they were happy and said I was a brave boy.

★D

Many animals migrate — they move over long distances, often at the same time and to the same place each year. They move to places where conditions are better — where the weather 1s warmer, where there is more food and water, or where their young will be safer. Here are three amazing examples of migration:

One of the largest animal migrations happens on the Serengeti plains in Africa. More than one million wildebeest(牛羚) migrate in a big group. As the seasons change they follow the rain, looking for better grass to eat and water to drink. They stay in one place while the grass and water are good, and then they move on. They return to the same places each year. Thousands of zebras and other animals travel with the wildebeest.

Out of all migrating animals, Arctic terns(北极燕鸥) travel the longest distance. These seabirds lay their eggs and raise their chicks in summer in the north of Europe, Asia and North America. Each year around August, they fly south over the oceans. They spend about five months near Antarctica, while it is warmer there. Then after the southern summer ends, they fly north again. Arctic terns travel more than 70,000 kilometers in a year!

Salmon(鲑鱼) live most of their lives in the ocean. But when it is time for them to lay their eggs, they return to the rivers where they were born. They move up rivers and streams to find the right place. Scientists think that the fish remember the unique smell of their river, and this is how they find their way. Salmon can swim strongly up hills, and will jump high to get over waterfalls.

11. From Paragraph 1, one of the reasons why animals migrate is that_______.

 A. they like living in the same place each year

 B. they really need much colder weather

 C. they need good places to raise their young

12. What does the underlined word “migrate” most probably mean in Chinese?

 A. 离开 B. 迁徙 C.冬眠

13. According to this passage, which of the following is TRUE about animal migration?

 A. Wildebeest migrate in a small group with the changeable seasons.

 B. Thousands of zebras and other animals travel with Arctic terns.

 C. Salmon will go back to the rivers from the ocean to lay their eggs.

14. What does scientists think helps salmon find their way as they migrate?

 A. The unique smell of the river.

 B. The sound of the river.

 C. The temperature of the river.

15. In which part of a magazine would you most probably read the text?

 A. Animals.  B. Business.  C. Movies.

第三节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分）

阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

How can you remember a song from your childhood to this day? Why do your teachers use songs to teach you English? It seems there is a scientific reason for this. Researchers are now studying the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They find that remembering words in a song is the best way to remember even the most difficult language.

“Singing could be a new way of learning a foreign language.” said Dr. Karen Ludke. The findings may help those who have difficulty learning foreign languages. On his blog, Dr. Ludke writes, “A listen—and—repeat method can support foreign language learning, and open the door for future research in this area.”

Many language teachers know the value of using music and singing. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington D.C. depends heavily on songs in teaching Chinese. She says, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids usually we use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics. So it’s easy for them to start because they know the music. Not only does it work, but it is fun for the kids. “Sometimes, I think if I were taught English that way, maybe I would speak English much better than now,” Hua Zhuying adds.

Our brain likes music, especially for remembering, because the brain likes to remember things when they are used in a catchy(朗朗上口的)and meaningful way. So, if you’re still struggling in learning a language, why not try singing it out?

21. According to the passage, what is the best way to remember a foreign language?

22. In Ludke’s opinion, who might benefit(受益) from this new way of learning by singing?

23. Have scientists done a lot of researches on listen—and—repeat method in language learning?

24. How does Hua Zhuying teach kids to learn Chinese?

25. Why is music helpful for language learning?
