A
What is language for？Some people seem to think it’s for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists，the better.That’s wrong.Language is for the exchange of ideas and information.It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely.Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules，but they can’t speak correctly or fluently.They are afraid of making mistakes.One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language.Native speakers make mistakes and break rules，too.Bernard Shaw once wrote，“Foreigners_often_speak_English_too_correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make.They’re English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule，it is no longer a rule.What used to be wrong becomes right.People not only make history，they make language.But a people can only make its own language.It can’t make another people’s language.So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar，but they shouldn’t overdo(做过头) it.They should put communication first.
1． According to the passage, language is used to ______.
A．express oneself
B．practise grammar rules
C．talk with foreigners only
D．learn lists of words
2． Generally，when an American or an Englishman speaks English，he or she ________.
A．never makes mistakes
B．often makes mistakes
C．can’t avoid making mistakes
D．always makes mistakes
3． The underlined sentence “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” means that ________.
A．foreigners speak correct English
B．foreigners speak incorrect English
C．foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules
D．foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English
4． When we speak a foreign language，we should ________.
A．speak in Chinese way
B．speak by the rules
C．speak to native speakers
D．not be afraid of making mistakes

For me，my great moment came when I actually decided to accept an opportunity to teach English in Shanghai.There were times when I almost gave up because of fear.But in the end I came here.
Last summer，a Canadian-Chinese woman who teaches in Shanghai just happened to come to the place where I was working in the Seattle area.We talked and I said I had always wanted to teach abroad.She said，“Come to our school.”“Okay，” I replied，but I wasn’t sure if I meant it.
We met later for coffee.She answered all of my questions about the school，and gave me the website address and the email address of the person to contact.It took six months for me to finally decide on the job.
First of all，in Shanghai there are many western places to eat western food and lots of interesting things to do.Also，there is a great subway system with directions and stops posted in English.Finding your way around is a challenge in a new place.But that isn’t hard here.Taxis are very cheap；you can always jump in one and get home.There are also a lot of westerners in Shanghai，so it is fairly easy to ask for directions.Young Chinese people are much more likely to speak English and they are wonderfully helpful.
I earn almost $1,000 per month and live in a nice rent-free apartment.My biggest expense has been food as I am a vegetarian(素食者)and also on a diet.I still have not got used to the traditional Chinese food，but if you like it，you’ll be in heaven.
Here I have a good place to live in，new friends，a high salary，and a good job.In the US，getting a job at my age has been next to impossible for a woman.
5． We can infer that at first the writer ________.
A．wasn’t interested in teaching abroad at all
B．wasn’t sure whether to accept the job to teach in Shanghai
C．knew she would be popular as a teacher in China
D．thought the Canadian-Chinese woman was joking
6． According to the passage，it seems that ________.
A．there are no good restaurants for the writer in Shanghai
B．the writer sometimes feels lonely in Shanghai
C．the writer doesn’t like traveling in Shanghai
D．the writer likes her life in Shanghai
7． What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Living in a new place.
B．Dealing with a challenge.
C．Finding your way around.
D．Taking a taxi.
8． According to the last but one paragraph，the writer ________.
A．is satisfied with her weight
B．doesn’t have to pay for rent
C．doesn’t like eating vegetables
D．is crazy about the traditional Chinese food

A popular saying goes，“Sticks and stones may break my bones，but words will never hurt me.” However，that’s not really true.Words have the power to build us up or tear us down.It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves—the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes.We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it，though.In fact，we really shouldn’t be，because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.
This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves，remember things，solve problems，and calm ourselves down.Be aware，though，that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative.So in order to stay positive，we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves.We should also be quick to give_ourselves_a_pat_on_the_back，The next time you finish a project，do well in a test，or finally clean your room，join me in saying “Good job！”
Often，words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effects they will have.But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses to others.For example，when returning an item to a store，we might use warm，friendly language during the exchange.And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner.Or harsh and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.
Words possess power because of their lasting effects.Many of us regret something we once said.And we remember unkind words said to us！Before speaking，we should always ask ourselves：Is it true？Is it loving？Is it needed？If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test，then it’s better left unsaid.
Words possess power：both positive and negative.Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively.We can offer hope，build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best.Negative words destroy all those things.Will we use our words to hurt or to heal？The choice is ours.
1． Why should not we feel embarrassed when it comes to talking to ourselves?
A．Talking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.
B．Almost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.
C．Talking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.
D．It is harmful to have “self-talk” when we are alone.
2． The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in Paragraph three means “________”．
A．blame ourselves
B．punish ourselves
C．talk to ourselves
D．praise ourselves
3． Which of the following statements would the author agree to?
A．Unkind words are unlikely to be forgotten.
B．Positive words may destroy all the good relations.
C．It is better to think twice before talking to others.
D．Kind words are sure to cause unfavorable response.
4． Why should we talk in a friendly way when returning an item to a store?
A．Because kind words destroy true relationships.
B．Because the clerk in a store is hard to deal with.
C．Because critical language may hurt your feelings.
D．Because friendly words cause positive responses.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Michelle Obama made a daring decision to return to the same designer who created her Inaugural(就职) Ball dress four years ago and the risk paid off.
The First Lady looked extremely attractive in a thin，sweeping，and ruby-coloured dress by designer Jason Wu.She teamed the dramatic gown with heels by Jimmy Choo and a diamond ring by Kimberly McDonald.
She surprised the fashion establishment by returning to a Wu design which had been custom-made for her.
Four years ago at her first Inauguration Ball，Michelle shimmered in an off-white，one-shouldered floor-length couture gown by the designer.
Wu，who was 26 at the time and had only been working in fashion for three years，saw his career take off after the First Lady’s surprise decision to wear one of his dresses.
He said at the time that he was unaware she had chosen the gown and had been watching at home on his couch and eating pizza when she appeared.
After her 2013 decision，Wu told Women’s Wear Daily，“Mrs Obama likes to keep her secrets.She fooled me again.”
Wu released a women’s clothing and accessories(装饰品) collection at Target last year and continues to be popular with the First Lady for official engagements.
The sleeveless，cross-halterneck dress with low-cut back flattered 49-year-old Michelle’s toned arms and neat waist.
It had been created especially for her by Wu and was a departure from the dark and plain colour tone she stuck to at earlier inauguration events.
Mrs Obama’s new hairstyle—she had bangs cut in on her birthday last week—had been loosely tousled for the special night.
Vice-President Joe Biden’s wife Jill also looked glamorous in a blue silk dress by Vera Wang at the Inauguration Ball.
56．Michelle Obama’s brave decision proved to be a________.
A．risk B．danger
C．success D．surprise
57．According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?
A．Joe Biden’s wife Jill also had her dress created by Wu.
B．Mrs Obama’s inaugural dresses were made by the same designer.
C．The colour tone at Michelle’s earlier inaugural events was not satisfactory.
D．Mrs Obama had straight forehead hair as her new hairstyle for the special night.
58．From the 6th and 7th paragraphs we know that________.
A．Wu didn’t know Mrs Obama had chosen his creation again
B．Wu was aware that Mrs Obama had chosen his work again
C．Mrs Obama told Wu to give away her secrets
D．Mrs Obama should have told Wu the truth
59．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The First Lady’s secrets.
B．Wu，a great designer.
C．Michelle Obama’s Inaugural Ball dress.
D．Mrs Obama’s 2013 decision.

“Children should not be left unsupervised(无人监督的) to play with a dog.”say experts in this week’s British Medical Journal.Their advice is part of a review aimed at doctors who deal with dog bites.
“Dog bites and maulings are a worldwide problem，particularly in children.”write Marina Morgan and John Palmer.Every year 250,000 people who have been bitten by dogs attend minor injuries and emergency units in the United Kingdom，and half of all children are reportedly bitten by dogs at some time，boys more than girls.
Accurate death figures are difficult to obtain，but in the past five years，two to three cases a year have made news headlines.
Based on the latest medical evidence，they advise doctors how to examine and treat a patient presenting with a dog bite.They discuss the risk of infection and when to refer to specialist care.For travelers bitten abroad，they suggest assessing the risk of rabies(狂犬病)．
In terms of prevention，they suggest that children should be taught to treat dogs with respect，avoid direct eye contact，and not tease them.They should be taught not to approach an unfamiliar dog；play with any dog unless under close supervision；run or scream in the presence of a dog；pet a dog without first letting it sniff you；or disturb a dog that is eating，sleeping，or caring for its babies.
“Dog owners also need to change their behavior，” says Rachel Besser，a children’s doctor and lifetime dog owner，in an article.
“It is clear that not all dog owners appreciate that children should not be left unsupervised with a dog，”she says.Just as some parents are obliged to take parenting classes，she would like to see compulsive classes for expectant dog owners to teach them about the responsibilities of dog ownership.Educational programs are also needed to teach children about some precautionary(预防的) behaviors around dogs.
Finally，she would like to see animal doctors advising dog owners about bite prevention，and doctors promoting bite prevention when treating patients who have been bitten by dogs.
68．Dog biting is a problem which________.
A．should be paid attention to
B．only happens to a few children
C．only boys may meet with
D．has made news headlines
69．What are Rachel Besser’s words in Paragraph 6 and 7 mainly about?
A．It’s necessary to teach children how to raise dogs.
B．Children should be taught not to play with dogs.
C．Some dog owners would like children to be left unsupervised with a dog.
D．All the dog owners would like to attend classes on caring for dogs.
70．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Dogs，Dangerous to Children
B．Children Should Know Behaviors around Dogs
C．Doctors，Treat Dog Bites Correctly
D．Never Leave Children Unsupervised with Dogs
