A
American teenager Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his sophomore year at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin class, he quickly changed his mind. “I thought it (Mandarin) would be more beneficial than Latin，” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language.
He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read Facebook posts from his Chinese－speaking friends.
While it's a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be a valuable thing in his career.
“Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power，” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.
“People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing，” said Marty Abbott, executive director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We're seeing it in all parts of the country.”
The number of students studying Mandarin in public schools nationwide in grades 7 through 12 grew from 20,000 in 2004－2005 to 60,000 three years later, according to the council's most recent survey.
Abbott estimates that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin, in public and private schools, throughout the nation.
She said the US government has considered Mandarin to be an “important needs” language and provides professional development programs for teachers.
“Our government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic competitiveness，” Abbott said.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes established in many states.
The Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas, founded in 2007, opens Confucius Classrooms at 11 local public and private schools where more than 700 students are learning Mandarin.

It is often said that Western Europeans speak English. From traveling all through Europe, I know that this is not entirely true. Some regions of Europe have a 90% of English speaking rate, while in other parts, English is generally a tongue which is impossible to understand. The divide, it seems, lies with the Romance languages.
In Scandinavia, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the rest of the Western European non－Romance language speaking regions, English seems to be understood and spoken just like the people's first tongue. In Iceland, I have never experienced English was spoken so well and so widely by a non native speaking country. And I have almost never met a Dutch person who did not speak English almost as well as my countrymen.
But when you move to south of Western Europe a little, something happens. English becomes a less useful language for travel. You just cross over the romance language barrier and into Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy, where English is spoken at a rate that does not seem to be much higher than in China, Latin America, or Southeast Asia.
Traveling through Europe and working at hotel around the world that are popular with Europeans, have given me a deeper view of their usage of foreign languages. The northern Europeans can often speak five or six languages, while the Romance speakers hardly know more than their birth tongue. And if you think that Spanish and Italian are so similar that they can be understood by each other, I tell you that this is completely wrong. Spaniards and Italians don't even understand each other. It is also not a fact that people from both of these countries can communicate in French; only those who put a high amount of effort into learning English or have lived abroad for years can speak English well.
People often say that French people really understand English but refuse to speak it, but from watching hundreds of French travelers over the years struggle with English abroad as well as friends in France trying in vain to communicate with me, I know that this is not true. English is simply not widely spoken there outside the large cities.
8．The author is probably a(n) ________.
A．Frenchman B．Dutchman
C．American D．Chinese
9．What does “this” in the last paragraph mean
A．Western Europeans speak English.
B．French people really understand English but refuse to speak it.
C．Hundreds of French travelers struggle with English abroad.
D．Friends in France try in vain to communicate with me in English.
10．Where is the passage most probably taken from
A．Travel journal. B．Fashion magazine.
C．Geography textbook. D．News report.
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。
Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” __1__ I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. __2__ However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
__3__ Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn't matter. __4__
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive (主动的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. __5__
A．The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
B．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.
C．They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.
D．If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
E．Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.
F．However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”！
G．The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.

When I was in high school, the last person I wanted to be with was the foreign teacher. On one hand, I was unable to __1__ what she said, so I did not know what responses I should give. On the other hand, I had no faith in the __2__ of my English. To avoid making mistakes, I wrote down every word I intended to say and __3__ all the words whose pronunciation I had not been sure of before __4__ my hand to answer her question.

__7__， communication with a foreigner who came to visit my father in the last Spring Festival built my __8__.

I paid little attention to the grammar and even used gestures, pictures and objects to make myself easily __10__. During the conversation, he frequently nodded to show his understanding of what I said, which __11__ encouraged me to express myself more __12__. This experience made me __13__ that the attraction of language is not only in some __14__ literary works, but also in the understanding between two common people with __15__ mother tongues.
It is possible for native speakers to make some __16__ in communication, let alone people who learn English as a foreign language. Besides a good __17__ of vocabulary and grammar, there are more other factors for effective (有效的) communication __18__ facial expressions and gestures.
With this belief, I became more willing to __19__ with foreigners and more communication further __20__ my English. In this cycle, I gained the most precious fortune (财富)—confidence.

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Many people think English do not like other languages. In fact, English is a mixture of words from many different languages. Because of this, the vocabulary of the English language is very large. It is much larger than almost every other language in the world.
Many English words come from Latin, the old language of Rome, and also from Greek. From Latin we get words like “wine” and “day”. From Greek we have words such as “photograph” “Bible” and “ink”. Because these two languages are dead, the words have most often come through other languages such as French, or the old German language. There are also many words from both Greek and Latin together, “television”， for example. Here “tele” is the Greek for “far” and “vision” comes from Latin and means “seeing”．
Many common English words come from very strange places. “Tea” is from China and “banana” is from West Africa. “Potato” came into the English language from the island of Haiti, and “tomato” first came from Mexico. One reason why the English language has so many words from other languages is that people from many different countries have come to live in Britain. Two thousand years ago Romans came from Italy, and stayed for over four hundred years. After they left, the Angles, Saxons and Jutes came from the northern part of modern Germany. In the ninth and tenth centuries Scandinavians came into the northern and eastern part of the country. Finally, in the eleventh century William of Normandy came from France, and became King of England. With him came French civilisation and the French language.
In modern Britain there are four separate languages: English, Welsh (about one third of the population of Wales speak Welsh), Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic. And the English language itself is very different from one place to another. There are also many differences in spelling, vocabulary and pronunciation between American English and British English.
The English language continues to grow. It is not only the language of Britain, but also of North America, Australia and New Zealand, and millions of people in Africa and Asia. Today, it is the international language of trade, and maybe the most important of all, the language of science and technology.

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Many people think English do not like other languages. In fact, English is a mixture of words from many different languages. Because of this, the vocabulary of the English language is very large. It is much larger than almost every other language in the world.
Many English words come from Latin, the old language of Rome, and also from Greek. From Latin we get words like “wine” and “day”. From Greek we have words such as “photograph” “Bible” and “ink”. Because these two languages are dead, the words have most often come through other languages such as French, or the old German language. There are also many words from both Greek and Latin together, “television”， for example. Here “tele” is the Greek for “far” and “vision” comes from Latin and means “seeing”．
Many common English words come from very strange places. “Tea” is from China and “banana” is from West Africa. “Potato” came into the English language from the island of Haiti, and “tomato” first came from Mexico. One reason why the English language has so many words from other languages is that people from many different countries have come to live in Britain. Two thousand years ago Romans came from Italy, and stayed for over four hundred years. After they left, the Angles, Saxons and Jutes came from the northern part of modern Germany. In the ninth and tenth centuries Scandinavians came into the northern and eastern part of the country. Finally, in the eleventh century William of Normandy came from France, and became King of England. With him came French civilisation and the French language.
In modern Britain there are four separate languages: English, Welsh (about one third of the population of Wales speak Welsh), Scottish Gaelic and Irish Gaelic. And the English language itself is very different from one place to another. There are also many differences in spelling, vocabulary and pronunciation between American English and British English.
The English language continues to grow. It is not only the language of Britain, but also of North America, Australia and New Zealand, and millions of people in Africa and Asia. Today, it is the international language of trade, and maybe the most important of all, the language of science and technology.
