English is English,right?Nt exactly.Althugh Americans share the same language as thse in Britain,wrds that cmmnly mean ne thing in America can mean smething cmpletely different in Britain.Here are sme examples.
In the United States a bird is,well,an animal with feathers.In England,hwever,a bird is ften used t describe a yung female,similar t the way yung wmen are referred t “chicks” in America.But be careful when yu are calling yur
bss’daughter a bird,because sme Britns cnsider the wrd a negative expressin.
Saying yu need a new trainer in America means smething quite different frm it des in England.In the US,trainers are healthy and strng experts wh can help yu wrk ut. Hwever,in England,trainers are just anther name fr tennis shes.
In America,the wrd “jumper” usually means a call t 911,as it can refer t a persn wh’s trying t iump frm a bridge r building.The meaning culdn’t be mre different in Britain,where “jumper” is the name given t a knit tp,r,as it’s called in America: a sweater.
Telling a Lndner that yu like t sleep with yur cmfrter every night may cause sme strange lks,unless yu’re a baby.In the US,a cmfrter is a cver fr bed that is filled with a sft material,but in England,a cmfrter is a wrd used t describe a baby’s pacifier (橡皮奶嘴).
In America,a casket,als called a cffin(棺材),clearly has a sad meaning.In Britain,n the ther hand,a casket has a cmpletely different meaning: it refers t a small bx used t stre jewelry r ther valuable bjects.
If a Lndner tells an American he lcked smething in his bt,the American may lk at him strangely.In America,a bt is a type f ftwear,while in England the wrd is used t refer t a trunk (后备箱) f a car.

答案及剖析:
21.A 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第二段中的最后一句可推断,英国女孩听到自己被这样叫可能会不开心。
22.B 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第三段中的“In the US,trainers are healthy and strng experts wh can help yu wrk ut.”可知,在美国,trainer是指健身教练。所以,一个教别人运动的中年女士在美国可以被称为trainer。

B
Baby sign language is a grwing mvement.Pinting t a clurful flwer,Campbell lifts her baby's sft hand,and rapidly mves it frm ne side f his nse t the ther as she sniffs (嗅).“Flwer!” she says ludly.Gregry smiles and lks carefully.It culd be a year befre Gregry,4 mnths ld,can speak,but nw his mther hpes t cmmunicate with her baby thrugh sign language.
Like thers arund the wrld,Campbell is part f a grwing mvement f parents teaching hearing babies simple signs t cmmunicate befre they can talk.The baby sign language has been mre ppular in recent years.The mvie,Meet the Fckers,where the main character teaches his yung grandsn t sign,makes it well develped.
Babies generally begin t talk between 12 and 15 mnths,but babies can use sign language t cmmunicate befre they learn hw t speak.
“We knw they are learning language faster than they are able t shw yu with their speech prductin because that system takes a lng time t develp,” says McRberts,directr f develpmental research at the Haskins Labratries.
“They are understanding wrds befre they are able t say them.Frm arund 16 t 18 mnths,they might say 50 wrds but understand 200.They understand shrt sentences well,” says McRberts.
Studies have shwn deaf children learn t use sign language earlier than hearing children learn t speak meaningfully.As t whether hearing babies can cmmunicate earlier with sign language,McRberts says,“I think that's still unknwn.It may nt.I'm very interested in that very questin.”
24.Frm the first paragraph we can knw .
A.Campbell teaches her sn t speak early
B.Gregry can use baby sign language well
C.baby sign language can help a child speak at the age f fur mnths ld
D.baby sign language is becming mre and mre ppular
25.The underlined wrd “it”(in Paragraph 2) prbably refers t .
A.hw t teach a grandsn
B.making baby sign language meaningful
C.the mvement f teaching babies sign language
D.the mvie,Meet the Fckers
26.Many parents teach their babies sign language mainly t .
A.cmmunicate with their babies
B.make their babies learn English fast
C.make their babies clever
D.make their babies interested in language
27.Which f the fllwing des McRberts agree with?
A.Babies learn t talk quickly.
B.Babies can understand mre wrds than they can say.
C.Hearing babies can cmmunicate earlier.
D.Deaf babies understand shrt sentences well.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了婴儿手语现在越来越流行,婴儿在学会说话之前,可以用手语与父母交流。阅读本文,有利于拓宽学生的视野,丰富知识。
答案及剖析:
24.D 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本具体信息的能力。根据第一段中的“Baby sign language is a grwing mvement.”可知,婴儿手语现在越来越流行,故选D项。
25.C 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中推测词义的能力。根据第二段第一句可知,越来越多的父母开始教听力正常的婴儿在会说话之前用简单的手势进行交流,Campbell就是其中一员。近年来,婴儿手语越来越流行。由此推测,画线单词it在第二段中指的是前文的“教婴儿手语的活动”,故选C项。
26.A 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本具体信息的能力。根据第二段“parents they can talk”以及下文多次提到cmmunicatin可知,父母教孩子手语是为了与孩子交流,故选A项。
27.B 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据倒数第二段中的“Frm arund 16 t 18 mnths,they might say 50 wrds but understand 200.”可知, McRberts赞同这样的观点——婴儿可以理解的词比他们可以说的多,故选B项。
C
Languages have been cming and ging fr thusands f years,but in recent times there has been less cming and a lt mre ging.When the wrld was still ppulated by hunter-gatherers,small,tightly knit(联系) grups develped their wn patterns f speech independent f each ther.Sme language experts believe that 10,000 years ag,when the wrld had just five t ten millin peple,they spke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Sn afterwards,many f thse peple started settling dwn t becme farmers,and their languages t became mre settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries,
trade,industrialisatin,the develpment f the natin-state and the spread f universal cmpulsry educatin,especially glbalisatin and better cmmunicatins in the past few decades,all have caused many languages t disappear,and dminant languages such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking ver.
At present,the wrld has abut 6,800 languages.The distributin f these languages is hugely uneven.The general rule is that mild znes have relatively few languages,ften spken by many peple,while ht,wet znes have lts,ften spken by small numbers.Eurpe has nly arund 200 languages;the Americas abut 1,000;Africa 2,400;and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200,f which Papua New Guinea alne accunts fr well ver 800.The median number(中位数) f speakers is a mere 6,000,which means that half the wrld's languages are spken by fewer peple than that.
Already well ver 400 f the ttal f 6,800 languages are clse t extinctin(消亡),with nly a few elderly speakers left.Pick,at randm,Busuu in Camern (eight remaining speakers),Chiapanec in Mexic (150),Lipan Apache in the United States (tw r three) r Wadjigu in Australia (ne,with a questin-mark):nne f these seems t have much chance f survival.
28.What can we infer abut languages in hunter-gatherer times?
A.They develped very fast.
B.They were large in number.
C.They had similar patterns.
D.They were clsely cnnected.
29.Which f the fllwing best explains “dminant” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A.Cmplex.B.Advanced.
C.Pwerful.D.Mdern.
30.Hw many languages are spken by less than 6,000 peple at present?
A.Abut 6,800.B.Abut 3,400.
C.Abut 2,400.D.Abut 1,200.
31.What is the main idea f the text?
A.New languages will be created.
B.Peple's lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C.Human develpment results in fewer languages.
D.Gegraphy determines language evlutin.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在依靠狩猎和采集生活的时代,语种众多,但是随着工业化、贸易、全球化等的发展,许多语种消失了。阅读本文,有助于帮助学生了解语言发展的特点,拓宽知识面。
答案及剖析:
28.B 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第一段中的“When the them.”可知,在依靠狩猎和采集生活的时代,人们使用的语言种类很多,故选B项。
29.C 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中推测词义的能力。根据上文提到的“ have caused many languages t disappear”和下文的“such as English,Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking ver”可知,英语、西班牙语和汉语正在逐渐取代一些语言。由此可猜测该词的意思是“占优势的”,C项意为“有影响力的”,故选C项。
30.B 细节理解题。考查学生识别和理解文本中具体信息的能力。根据第三段的第一句和最后一句可知,B项正确。
31.C 主旨大意题。考查学生对理解文本主旨要义的能力。通读全文可知,在依靠狩猎和采集生活的时代,语种众多,但是随着工业化、贸易、全球化等的发展,许多语种消失了。由此可知,人类的发展导致了语种的减少,故选C项。

If English means endless new wrds,difficult grammar and smetimes strange prnunciatin,yu are wrng.Haven't yu nticed that yu have becme smarter since yu started t learn a language?
Accrding t a new study by a British university,learning a secnd language can lead t an increase in yur brain pwer.Researchers fund that learning ther languages changes grey matter.This is the area f the brain which prcesses infrmatin.It is similar t the way that exercise builds muscles.
The study als fund the yunger peple learn a secnd language,the better the effect is.
A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli,frm University Cllege Lndn,tk a grup f Britns wh nly spke English.They were cmpared with a grup f “early bilinguals” wh had learnt a secnd language befre the age f five,as well as a number f later learners.
Scans shwed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in peple withut a secnd language.But the lnger a persn waited befre mastering a new language,the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure f the brain is changed by the experience f learning a secnd language,” said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability t learn.
Prfessr Dylan Vaughan Jnes f the University f Wales,has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“Having tw languages gives yu tw windws n the wrld and makes the brain mre flexible,”he said.“Yu are actually ging beynd language and have a better understanding f different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study f native Italian speakers wh had learned English as a secnd language between 2 and 34.Reading,writing,and cmprehensin were all tested.The results shwed that the yunger they started t learn,the better.“Studying a language means yu get an entrance t anther wrld,” explained the scientists.
32.The main subject talked abut in this passage is .
A.science n learning a secnd language
B.man's ability f learning a secnd language
C.findings that language learning can help increase brain pwer
D.language learning and maths study
33.The last sentence f the secnd paragraph is intended t .
A.say language learning is als a kind f physical labur
B.prve that ne needs mre practice when he/she is learning a language
C.shw the imprtance f using it when yu learn a language
D.make peple believe language learning helps grey matter wrk well
34.We may knw frm the scientific findings that .
A.the earlier yu start t learn a secnd language,the higher the grey matter density is
B.there is n difference between a later secnd language learner and ne wh desn't knw a secnd language
C.the experience f learning a secnd language has bad effect n peple's brain
D.the ability f learning a secnd language is changing all the time
35.The underlined wrd “bilinguals” prbably means .
A.researchers n language learning
B.peple wh are gd at learning freign languages
C.peple wh can speak tw languages
D.active language learners
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。英国一所大学最新研究表明:学习第二语言可提高智力。阅读本文,有利于激发学生学习第二语言的兴趣。
答案及剖析:
32.C 主旨大意题。考查学生理解文本主旨要义的能力。作者在本文第一段中就提出了主题,然后下文围绕这一主题进行深入阐述,即“语言学习可以提高你的智力”。
33.D 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。作者在第二段中把语言学习对大脑的促进作用比作体育锻炼对强健肌肉的促进作用,也就是说,语言学习对大脑有类似的促进作用。再根据“ grey matter.This is the area f the brain which prcesses infrmatin.”可知,语言学习对大脑的促进作用表现在改变grey
matter上。
34.A 推理判断题。考查学生根据文本信息进行推断归纳的能力。根据第五段可知双语者的大脑灰质密度比没有学第二语言的人大。但是一个人在掌握一门新的语言之前,等待的时间越长,这种差异就越小。因此可以推测,越早学习第二语言,大脑灰质密度越高。
35.C 词义猜测题。考查学生在具体语境中推测词义的能力。根据该词后的“wh had learnt a secnd language befre the age f five”可知该词指能说两种语言的人。

Des this situatin seem familiar t yu?Yur English is prgressing well,the grammar is nw familiar,the reading cmprehensin is n prblem,and yu are speaking quite fluently.36.
First f all,remember that yu are nt alne.Listening is prbably the mst difficult jb fr almst all learners f English as a freign language.The mst imprtant thing is t listen as ften as pssible.37. The Internet is really a useful tl fr English students.Yu can dwnlad The RealPlayer.The RealPlayer allws yu t use the Internet like a radi statin.
Once yu have begun t listen n a regular basis,yu might still be frustrated by limited understanding.38.
Here is sme f the advice I give my students:
·Accept the fact that yu are nt ging t understand everything.
·Stay relaxed when yu d nt understand,and try listening t the material fr mre times.
·D nt translate everything int yur native language.
·39. Dn't cncentrate n details befre yu have understd the main ideas.
·Listen t smething yu enjy.
I remember the prblems I had in understanding spken German when I first went t Germany.In the beginning,when I didn't understand a wrd,I insisted n translating it in my mind.This methd usually resulted in cnfusin.40.
Firstly,translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker.
Secndly,mst peple repeat themselves cnstantly.By remaining calm,I nticed that even if I did nt pay much attentin I culd usually understand what the speaker had said.
A.What shuld yu d?
B.Listen fr the general idea f the cnversatin.
C.But yu can't fllw a native English speaker at all!
D.But listening is a prblem fr mst f the beginners!
E.S,what yu need t d is t find listening resurces.
F.Hwever,after several weeks,I gt used t the new envirnment in Germany.
G.Then,after the first six mnths,I discvered tw extremely imprtant facts.

语篇导读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。著名小提琴演奏家伊扎克·帕尔曼幼时患脊髓灰质炎,落下残疾。一次,他受邀演奏时,一根琴弦意外断了。然而,他并没有换弦或换琴,而是迅速在脑海里重新谱曲,利用仅剩的三根弦完成了演奏。他认为,艺术家应该学会用手头仅有的东西创作音乐。阅读本文,有利于培养学生乐观向上的生活态度,并学会变通。
[文章脉络]
答案及剖析:
41.B 上文提到帕尔曼小时候患脊髓灰质炎,导致他行动不便。上下文为因果关系,故选B项。
42.A 根据本段第三句“Then he sat dwn and began t play.”和“the strings n his vilin”可知,帕尔曼此行是去参加演奏的,故选A项。
43.B 上文提到幼时所患的脊髓灰质炎导致帕尔曼行动不便,因此他只能“慢慢地”走到舞台中央的座位上。故选B项。
44.C 上文提到一根琴弦突然断了,根据常识可知,弦断的声音用nise,故选C项。
45.A 帕尔曼的琴弦断了,台下的观众们心想他会起身去找根弦或换琴,故选A项。
46.D 根据前句“But he didn't.”可知帕尔曼出乎观众意料并没有更换琴或弦,而是继续演奏。此处用Instead表示转折,故选D项。
47.A 根据上文可知,琴弦断了,演奏暂停,因此推断此处指他从刚才表演暂停的地方重新开始表演,故选A项。
48.A 根据常识可知只用三根弦是“不可能”演奏交响乐的,故选A项。
49.D 此句中的that指的是上文中提到的“用三根弦是不可能演奏交响乐的”,下文“changing and recmpsing the piece in his head”提到他在心里重新谱曲,可见他“拒绝”常规做法,故选D项。
50.C 根据下文中的“Then peple rse and cheered.”可知,观众们被帕尔曼的创新演绎深深折服,演出刚结束时,全场默默地沉浸其中,意犹未尽,故选C项。
51.B 上文“Then peple rse and cheered”提到观众们起身喝彩,可推知此处指观众们一直“站着”以各种方式表达对艺术家精彩演奏的“欣赏之情”,故选B项。
52.D 上文观众站起来欢呼表明他们对帕尔曼精彩表演的欣赏,故选D项。
53.C 和上文帕尔曼用仅有的三根弦演奏呼应,此处指艺术家的任务是弄明白自己能用手头现有的东西可创造多少音乐,故选C项。
54.C 根据下文“in my mind ever since I heard them”可知,此句表示他的话一直留在作者的心里,故选C项。
55.B 此处呼应上文“it is the artist's task t 53 hw much music yu can make with what yu have left”,其中 task是原词复现,故选B项。

语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了汉字书法的发展简史,最后文章指出练好书法的重要性。阅读本文,有助于学生了解汉字书法的发展历史,传承中华文化。
答案及剖析:
56.less 考查形容词的比较级。根据句意可知,此处暗含了比较,所以用比较级。
57.making 考查非谓语动词。此处作结果状语,所以用动词-ing形式。
58.created 考查时态。根据上下文可知,此处叙述的是过去发生的事情,故应用一般过去
时态。
59.which 考查定语从句的关系词。此处是非限制性定语从句,且此处的关系代词指代前面所说的内容,故用which。
60.a 考查固定搭配。as a result是固定搭配,意为“结果”。
61.widely 考查副词。此处指书法被广泛接受。副词widely修饰动词accepted。
62.t raise 考查非谓语动词。此处用动词不定式表目的。
63.writing 考查非谓语动词。cncentrate n ding sth.“集中精力做某事”。此处用动词-ing形式作介词n的宾语。
64.disappearance 考查名词。lead t中的t是介词,故其后用名词作宾语。
65.unless 考查连词。根据语境“除非你想让他开除你”可知应填unless。
