Before arriving in China, I had read lots of books about China.Therefore, when I arrived, I was excited to be living in this huge historically and culturally rich country.It was so greatly different from the UK.The food, the landmarks, the big cities and everyday life—I couldn't wait to explore.

However, learning Chinese hadn't even entered my mind, not because I was lazy, but because I had no confidence to learn the most difficult language in the world.Besides this,once I moved to China, I lived in Shanghai.It is an international city, with many people speaking English as a second language.So I thought English would be sufficient.

But after a year in China, I found many expats (僑民) spoke Chinese.Perhaps it was achievable after all.I felt uncomfortable because so many Chinese people could speak English while I couldn't even speak the most basic Chinese.To face the challenge,I decided to begin my language journey and my only regret was that I didn't start earlier.

In the two years since I started to learn Chinese, I have made great progress.Now, I am able to talk in Chinese on many topics.Learning to speak Chinese isn't as difficult as I once expected.When I speak to Chinese people in Chinese,they almost always understand me.The most challenging thing is listening since Chinese people talk at such a speed.I can't always understand what's been said, but my weekly online language exchanges help with this.Learning Chinese has taken a lot of hard work.But there is still a long way to go before I reach my goal of fluency.Learning Chinese not only helps me in day-to-day life,but deepens my cultural understanding of such a great country.So, to all my non-Chinese friends I say this—don't be afraid,face the challenge and be confident.

4.What did the author do after arriving in China?

A.He read a lot of books about China.B.He studied Chinese at once.

C.He tried to learn more about China.D.He missed his life in his home of the UK.

5.What does the underlined word“sufficient”in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Enough.B.Important.C.Necessary.D.Possible.

6.Why does the author think listening is the most challenging?

A.He has a hearing problem.

B.Chinese people speak too fast.

C.Chinese is the most difficult language.

D.He doesn't know much about many topics.

7.Which is the main idea of the text?

A.A new opinion about learning.

B.Exploring the joy of learning English.

C.The author's journey of learning Chinese.

D.The value of learning a new language.

Betty Schrampfer Azar is a world-famous expert on teaching English grammar.Here are some of her opinions.

Why do students need to learn grammar? When teachers are deciding which grammar points to teach, they should first ask two questions.First, will understanding the point help students be understood and will it help them understand better? Next, will learning the grammar points help students be acceptable as English speakers?

People usually think that grammar is all about memorizing rules.In fact, grammar is not just learning rules.It is a way to help students along the way to communication.Teachers should know that students do not all learn in the same way.Each may have a different learning style when it comes to learning grammar.Some may see a pattern and understand the rule.Others need explanations and more practice.“But to teach grammar as the subject matter and test it is sure to bore everybody and not to reach the goals that you are trying to reach—successful communication experiences,”she says.

Why do some teachers hate teaching grammar? Many teachers are not comfortable teaching grammar because they do not know how to answer their students'questions.“Most native speakers of English don't learn it in school,”she says.“If you don't know any grammar of your own language and then you are asked to teach it,it's possible that your students may know more grammar than you and you can't answer their questions.”

Can teaching grammar really be fun? Teachers should learn to make the teaching of grammar fun.She says,“My students enjoy learning grammar as much as I enjoy teaching it.I think grammar is fascinating.It holds language together.It is really beautiful when you get to know it.Grammar is quite a remarkable thing.”

8.What should teachers do before teaching grammar points?

A.Know the specific goal of teaching grammar.

B.Develop a good teaching style.

C.Find out students'learning habits.

D.Let students memorize some rules.

9.What does the underlined word“It”in paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Memorizing rules.B.Grammar.

C.Learning rules.D.Practice.

10.What can we learn about grammar according to Betty Schrampfer Azar?

A.Grammar should be taught as a subject.

B.Native speakers don't need to learn grammar.

C.Different students learn grammar in different ways.

D.It's useful to memorize rules when students learn grammar.

11.What does Betty Schrampfer Azar think of grammar?

A.Boring.B.Beautiful.C.Terrible.D.Useless.

Tourists visiting La Gomera and EI Hierro in the Canary-Islands can often hear locals communicating over long distances by whistling—not a tune, but the Spanish language.The locals are communicating in Silbo,a whistled Spanish language.

Whistled languages are almost developed in rough, mountainous regions or in thick forest.That's because whistled speech carries much farther than ordinary speech or shouting.As a result, whistled speech can be understood up to 10 times as far away as ordinary shouting.That lets people communicate even when they cannot easily approach close enough to shout.On La Gomera, for example, a few traditional shepherds (牧羊人) still whistle to one another across mountain valleys that could take hours to cross.

“Whistled languages work because many of the key elements of speech can be produced in a whistle,”says Meyer.“We distinguish one speech sound from another by small differences in their sound frequency patterns.A long‘e’, for example, is formed higher in the mouth than along‘o’,giving it a higher sound.”

To language scientists, such languages are more than just a curiosity.By studying whistled languages, they hope to learn more about how our brains get meaning from the complex sound patterns of speech.Whistling may even provide a chance to know one of the most dramatic jumps in human evolution(進(jìn)化):the origin of language itself.

Despite their interest to both language experts and casual observers, whistled languages are disappearing rapidly all over the world, and some, such as the whistled form of the Tepehua language in Mexico, have already disappeared.“Now you still find whistled speech only in places that are very remote, that have had less contact with modernity and less access to roads,”Meyer says.

Fortunately, there is still hope.UNESCO, the UN cultural organization, has listed two whistled languages—Silbo and a whistled Turkish—as the world's cultural heritage.Such attention can lead to conservation efforts.

12.What led to the development of whistled languages?

A.Geographic inaccessibility.B.Rapid increase in tourism.

C.Greater information capacity.D.Interest of language experts.

13.Why are the long“e”and the long“o”mentioned in paragraph 3?

A.To show what key elements speech has.

B.To explain the differences between speech sound frequency patterns.

C.To prove the popularity of whistled language in the world.

D.To compare whistled languages with ordinary languages.

14.What made whistled languages disappear according to Meyer?

A.Construction of cities.B.Lack of attention.

C.Expansion of other cultures.D.Modernization.

15.Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A.Why people used whistled languages

B.When whistled languages disappeared

C.How whistled languages developed

D.Why whistled languages matter

第二節(jié) （滿分25分）

閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫(xiě)兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。

At the beginning of this term, I found a new student in my class named Ainne Olar,who is 16 years old.She was quiet, always having lunch alone.From her parents, I learned that Ainne was born in Japan and spent most of her childhood there, and then the family moved to Canada.It wasn't as easy as she thought.She had to learn and speak a new language to be able to communicate with other people.When at school,she tended to be alone.She usually didn't talk to people.In class, she was not active, and always chose to shut her mouth.She didn't join any clubs or after-school activities for a little while, even though the teachers and her mom were always encouraging her.

At first, I thought maybe she was just a little shy like me when I first moved to Canada.At that time, it also wasn't as easy as I thought, but I've made it until where I am now.So I had the confidence to encourage Ainne to join us.

In one class, I invited Ainne to make a short presentation.But she just stood up,speechless.Then she looked down, color rising on her face.The next class, we had a PE lesson in the gym.But she still didn't join in it, just watching everyone play.Learning that she was fond of sports and was actually a very athletic and energetic person, I felt the urge to do something to help her melt into us.All these thoughts came to my head and pushed me to sit aside Ainne.

注意：續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。
