When I first met George, I was in my early 30s. My children were just entering school life allowing me to escape from endless housework. At 65, George had recently left work and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years. For both of us, we loved painting and we met at a local TAFE painting class. Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years—until the day he died.
George was an energetic man who lived life to the full. He loved his family, his friends, and was loyal and outspoken. As the only male in a painting class full of women, George quite enjoyed it. He ruled the roost (栖息处) and we were his hens. He loved his singular (单一的) role and looked after his hens with the same attention he gave to everything.
He took to painting with passion and devotion. He carefully housed his expensive painting tools in a box—a red metal tool box—built to bear hard knocks. Not fancy, but smooth and shiny and very red.
In 2004, I learned that he was very ill and went to visit him. “He's very confused and may not recognize you,” Penny, his daughter, warned. But as I bent over, George opened his eyes. “Betty!” he said, and with surprising strength, held my hand. “I've always been hoping to leave my box to you. I'm afraid I can't paint anymore, and you have the best talent and are most likely to use it,” he said. With tears in my eyes, I accepted the gift on the proviso (附带条件) he could take it back at any time. He never did. He died two days later.
Today I still use much of his equipment kept in the box. The box is still in good shape, very red. The original shop sticker is still firmly in place although the price has worn off.
But that's all right because to my mind some things, like friendship, are beyond price.
24. Why did George go to painting class
A. He wanted to please his children.
B. He wanted to enjoy school life again.
C. He wanted to make new friends there.
D. He wanted to develop a worthwhile hobby.
25. What's the author's purpose of writing the text
A. To introduce a popular hobby. B. To describe a precious friendship.
C. To remember a red tool box. D. To appreciate her friend's help.
26. Which word can describe George according to the text
A. Honest. B. Brave.
C. Caring. D. Lucky.
27. What can we learn from the text
A. The tool box is well kept by the author.
B. George took the red tool box back in the end.
C. George was shy and didn't talk much in the class.
D. The author thought their painting class was boring.
C
Doctors say you had better use it before you lose it. The more you sit each day, the more chance you have of getting sick.
Richard Rosenkranz of Kansas State University was among the researchers. He said people who sat for long periods were at great risk of diseases when compared with those who sat less. He said that was especially true for some chronic (慢性的) diseases.
Richard Rosenkranz studied the relationship between sitting and chronic diseases in middle-aged Australian men. He worked with researchers from the University of Western Sydney. They examined the health records of more than 63,000 men from New South Wales. The men were between the ages of 45 and 65. The men reported about what diseases they had, or did not have. And they kept record of the amount of time each day that they sat.
The study also showed that exercising every morning for 30minutes did not reduce the health risk if you spend the next eight hours sitting at the desk. Mr. Rosenkranz said it was important to make sure you exercise. But he said it was also important to find ways not to sit so much during the day.
Many jobs today require sitting and working at the desk all day. James Levine works at the Mayo Clinic in the United Sates. He suggests working while standing at high table some of the time instead of sitting at a desk. Dr. Levine also suggests standing while using the telephone or eating. Or he advises walking with the people you work with for an on-foot meeting. And he notes that if you spend more time on your feet, you may have muscle activity that helps burn fats and sugars in your body.
28. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph implies that ________.
A. doctors should treat all the patients well
B. doctors should make use of every method
C. one should value his health before he loses it
D. one should depend on himself to keep healthy
29. How did Richard Rosenkranz make the study
A. By examining some records and reports.
B. By making some laboratory experiments.
C. By talking with the doctors and patients.
D. By watching the men’s daily performance.
30. According to Dr. Levine, in order to avoid the harm of long-time sitting, one should ________.
A. exercise more often
B. change his job
C. stay away from the desk
D. stand or walk more
31. Where does this text probably come from
A. A fashion magazine B. A health magazine
C. A biology textbook D. A life guide
D
Languages 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 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 recent 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 Chinese 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. Europe 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 than 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, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
32. 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 patters. D. They were closely connected
33. Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？
A. Complex. B. Advanced.
C. Powerful. D. Modern.
34. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present
A. About 6,800 . B. About 3,400
C. About 2400 D. About 1,200.
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. New languages will be created.
B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C. Human development results in fewer languages.
D. Geography determines language evolution.

Learn how to improve spoken English with our five quick tips.
Repeat the language!
Repeat words and sentences over and over again until you can say them really fluently. ___36___The more you say it, the more it becomes fixed in your brain, and then later when you’re speaking, it’ll come out naturally.
___37___

Memorize language!
___38___ You can do this by writing them out, or by speaking them out loud so that you’ll be speaking normally.
And the more you do this, the more they’ll stick in your mind.
Simultaneous (同步的) speaking!
Simultaneous speaking--it sounds difficult but it’s quite easy. And it’s something as easy as, you take an audio file(音频文件), and you listen along to it, and as you listen to it, you read it at the same time. ___39___ So, you’re trying to copy the intonation (语调), the pronunciation, the word stress(重音), and the sentence stress.
Practice forming questions!
Look at a sentence and see if you can change that into a question.___40___So, for example, when seeing the sentence, “She’s seen the film,” you need to change it into the question, “Has she seen the film ” And the more you do this, the more fluent and quicker you’ll get at making questions.
A. Listen to English!
B. Practice telling stories!
C. But you can read your course book or a magazine.
D. Try and remember as many phrases and expressions as you can.
E. Making questions is quite difficult if you haven’t been practicing it.

In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.

句意：在最近的几个世纪，贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和全球义务教育的普及，尤其是过去几十年来，全球化和更好的交流，这些都导致许多语言消失。而且像英语、西班牙语和汉语等主流语言正日益占据主导地位。
