第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Some English words are made up of the same part and have different beginnings or different endings，such as import，export，report and transport.All these words，you can see，have the same “port” which comes from the Latin word，meaning “to carry” or “to move” from one place to another.And according to the bit at the beginning，which we call the prefix the meaning changes.“Import” means “to carry in” or “to bring into a country”；“export”，“ex” means “out of”，so this word means “to carry out of the country”；“re” means “back”，so the “report” means “to tell somebody，to bring back information to somebody”；“transport”，“trans” means “across” and it means “to carry across from one place to another”．
Let’s look at the following words: supporter，reporter, importer and exporter.You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs plus a suffix，thus meaning a person who completes the verb.So supporter means somebody who supports.A reporter is somebody who reports.Importer is somebody who imports and exporter is somebody who exports，and so on.
21．In the first sentence the underlined word “part” means ____.
A．different beginnings or different endings
B．the same part that has several meanings
C．the root of the word
D．the same root that has different meanings
22．By adding a prefix or a suffix to a root，we can get a word which has ____.
A．the meaning of a Latin word
B．a different meaning
C．the meaning of “in” or “out of”
D．the same meaning
23．We can get a noun ____.
A．just by adding “er” to verbs
B．by changing a prefix
C．only by adding “er” to a root
D．by adding a suffix to a verb
B
There is a common belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling.No school I have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill.There are, however, quite different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先 ) it must be given over general language development and writing ability.The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling.
If spelling becomes the only point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”．He will write only words within his spelling range (范围)．That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content (内容) rather than technical (技术的) ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling mistakes.” It may have been a sharp criticism (批评) of the pupils’ technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had failed to read the composition (作文), which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings.The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes, but if his priority had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement.
24．Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that __ __
A．students will be able to express their ideas more freely
B．teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes
C．students will have more trust in writing
D．students will learn to spell words correctly
25．Which of the following about school education is true？____
A．Schools are no longer interested in spelling.
B．Teachers ask their students to write words within their spelling range.
C．School attach importance to word spelling.
D．Teachers think the expression of the children is the most important.
26．The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is ____.
A．reasonable　　　　　　　 B．unfair
C．foolish D．careless
27．The major point discussed in the passage is __ __.
A．the importance of developing writing skills
B．the importance of spelling
C．the correct way of marking composition
D．the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition

The US teenager Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas.However, when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin (普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind.
“I thought 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 social media posts from his Chinese－speaking friends.
While it is a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for 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.”
Abbott estimates that as many as 100, 000 students are now studying Mandarin throughout the US, in public and private schools.She said the US government had designated (指定) Mandarin as a “critical needs” language and provided professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language competency for national security (安全) 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 US states.For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years.It sponsors (赞助) Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.
32．Thomas Cheatham decided to study Mandarin instead of Latin because he thought __.
A．Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin
B．Mandarin might help him learn more about Chinese food
C．Mandarin could enable him to make more friends online
D．Mandarin could have more advantages in his future career
33．The underlined word “proficiency” in Paragraph 4 probably means __ __.
A．strong interest B．great skill
C．lack of practice D．a level of difficulty
34．Which of the following statements might Marry Abbott agree with？
A．Mandarin should be taught in every classroom throughout the US.
B．The US government’s policy has helped popularize (普及) Mandarin in the US.
C．Many Americans learn Mandarin because they worry about their national history.
D．Those competent at Chinese will be the most competitive in the US in the future.
35．What is the main idea of the article？
A．The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.
B．The influence of China’s growing power on Americans.
C．The benefits of learning Mandarin for Americans.
D．How Confucius Institutes in the US help promote Mandarin.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以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.” __36.F__ 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. __37.B__ 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.
__38.E__ 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. __39.A__
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. __40.D__
A．The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
B．Obviously the best 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.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
In 2002, an Australian man went to his friend’s 21st birthday party.He got drunk, fell off some steps and cut his lip.He took a picture of his injuries and shared it with his friends online.“And sorry about the focus，” he wrote, “it was a selfie (自拍)．” That was the first recorded use of the word “selfie”， according to some experts at Oxford Dictionaries.
Oxford Dictionaries declared “selfie”．In recent years, the act of taking a picture of oneself with a mobile phone, placing the subject center－stage, has won great popularity with everyone from Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II to US ex－President Barack Obama joining in.
But the rise of selfie photography in some of the world’s most beautiful, and dangerous places has also inspired a lot of risk－taking behavior, such as hanging from a tall building, standing in front of a rushing train and crossing a busy street.People who get addicted will never stop taking selfies, completely ignoring where they are.In fact, there have been several reports about people losing their lives while taking selfies.Several governments have now begun treating selfie as a serious threat to safety, warning visitors to pay attention to the dangers when taking selfies.
“Walt Disney World is also banning selfie－sticks from its theme parks because selfie－sticks have become a growing safety concern for our guests，” Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty said under the new policy, guests will be checked for the equipment during the routine bag check that happens near the parks’ entrances.
