A
At noon I was stopped at the traffic light and saw a homeless man walking up and down in the street. It was a hot day.
“This will make him smile,” I thought. I turned my car towards a frozen yogurt (酸奶酪) shop. I took a cup and filled it and came to the counter to weigh it. I wanted to add some toppings, something delicious put on the top, but my change was not enough for that, so I asked the lady if she would take a $100 bill. She said she wasn’t allowed to accept a bill that large. So I just paid for the yogurt.
As I was about to leave, she said, “Madam, don’t disappoint your child. Please add their favorite toppings.” I turned to her and said, “Thanks, but this is not for my child. It’s for the homeless man in the street.” She smiled with surprise and said, “Oh! That’s really sweet of you. God bless you.” She thought for a moment, and then she said, “I think we can do better than that.”
She took a bigger cup, filled it nicely and covered it with colorful toppings. Then she handed it to me and said, “This is from me. Please give it to the homeless man. Let’s treat him nicely.” Now it was my turn to be surprised. I said, “Thanks a lot.” Then I left with a big smile on my face. On the way I said to myself, “Angels are real, aren’t they? I believe them because I saw one today!”

“The British and Americans are two peoples separated by a common language.” — Oscar Wilde
Though American English has become much different from British English, more and more British words and phrases are becoming common in American English. Here are some examples.
Bloody
If there is anything Americans like, it’s a good word to express their great anger. For example, “It’s bloody cold out there! What a bloody and costly failure!” Bloody is now well accepted by most Americans. It’s a way of swearing (咒骂) in America.
Chat up
The British expression “chat up” for flirting (搭讪) is much gentler than the American expression “hit on”. That may be why more Americans are using “chat up” especially when talking about their own actions.
Ginger
Before the first Harry Potter book came out, Americans only used the word ginger when referring to the spice (调味品). Ginger has almost always been a color as well as a spice for the British. Now more and more Americans are talking about “ginger cats” and “ginger hair”.
Sell-by date
More and more American members of the media are using this British term in place of the American term “expiration date” on which something, such as a license, is no longer in effect. American products are also using this term, which is a bit more descriptive than “expiration date”.
Spot on
In the 1970s, the American expression “right on” was popular, which had the same meaning as “exactly right”, but it has become out of date. Now, the British expression “spot on” has taken the place of “right on”.
39. The British will complain about the cold weather by saying “　　　”.
A. it’s bloody cold today B. the weather chats up
C. the weather has too much blood D. what a bloody day
40. According to the passage, “a ginger cat” refers to a cat that 　　　.
A. enjoys eating ginger B. has yellow fur
C. smells like ginger D. likes the color yellow
41. What does the “sell-by date” of the products mean?
A. The price of the products.
B. The rights that the producers should have.
C. The date when the products are produced.
D. The date after which the products should not be sold.
42. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. English—a common language
B. How does American English develop?
C. British English is entering American English
D. Differences between American English and British English
C
Who are your favorite teachers? My classmates and I were asked this question on the first day at the university many years ago. It was a great way to begin my career in teaching—thinking about people in the profession who had the most positive (积极的) influence on me. We were asked to write down our answers. I thought of Sister Mary Margaret and Sister Mary Anne, who taught me in the kindergarten. I thought of Mrs. Padgett and Mrs. Kofford, English teachers, and Mr. Kutras, a history teacher, in high school. Then I thought of Dr. Lincoln and Dr. Campbell, history professors, and Dr. Kirk, an English professor, who taught me in college. Then came this question, “What do they all have in common?” My hand went up first and I said, “They all loved what they were doing. They had great enthusiasm (积极性) for teaching.” All of my fellow graduate students nodded their heads.
That was the right answer Dr. McSweeney expected. He said, “I ask these questions every year, and I always get the same answers.” He went on to explain that he opened with these questions because they were proved to make things have a good start, and they would make future teachers think about what separates the great teachers from the not-so-great. He said, “We all remember our favorite teachers—the ones who had passion (激情) and enthusiasm, the ones who loved and enjoyed what they were doing. I want each of you to become that kind of teacher. Always remember those special teachers.” It was a statement I never forgot during my thirty-five years in the classroom.
43. According to the passage, an excellent teacher should have 　　　.
A. much experience in teaching B. a wide range of knowledge
C. passion and enthusiasm for teaching
D. abilities to ask questions
44. The author thinks that teachers who are liked best by students 　　　.
A. live a positive life B. are mostly women teachers
C. teach very well
D. have positive influence on students
45. By starting with those questions Dr. McSweeney wished his students to 　　　.
A. become great teachers
B. enjoy his lesson
C. remember him forever
D. tell great teachers from common ones
46. What can we learn about the author from the passge?
A. He works in a university.
B. He is actually a teacher.
C. He likes Dr. McSweeney best.
D. He was always the best student in school.
D
Sitting in her yard in Hartford, Connecticut, nine-year-old Alice Cogswell watched the children playing games. From their faces she could tell that they were laughing. But she couldn’t hear their voices. Alice had been deaf, living in a quiet world since a serious illness took away her hearing when she was 2.
The year was 1814, and few opportunities were given to children like Alice. Unable to hear or talk, she didn’t attend school. There were no teachers to teach deaf children across America. In those days, most people believed that deaf children couldn’t learn at all.
One day, her neighbor, Thomas Gallaudet, noticed that Alice wasn’t playing with other kids. When he tried to speak to her, he realized that she couldn’t hear. But he couldn’t miss her bright and curious eyes. Placing his hat on the ground, he spelt the letters h-a-t. Alice understood, and soon Gallaudet became her teacher.
Gallaudet had learnt about schools for the deaf in Europe. He thought, “Why shouldn’t Alice and other deaf children in the United States have such a school?” Encouraged by Alice’s progress, Gallaudet decided to go to Europe to learn their ways. After 15 months there, Gallaudet returned to Connecticut, together with Laurent Clerc, a teacher from a famous school for the deaf in Paris, France.
Gallaudet and Clerc opened the country’s first deaf school in 1817. There were 33 teachers and students at the very beginning, including Alice. They created the American Sign Language, which was based partly on the French sign language and partly on signs the students invented. Deaf students could now learn subjects like reading, history and math, as well as skills like shoemaking and cabinetmaking (家具制造) for boys and housekeeping for girls.
47. Which of the following about deaf children in the US before 1814 is TRUE?
A. They were treated as normal kids in schools.
B. They communicated with others with the help of a sign language.
C. It was almost impossible for them to receive an education.
D. They weren’t allowed to play games with normal kids.
48. Gallaudet taught Alice to learn the first word by 　　　.
A. using a sign language
B. combining a thing with a word
C. playing games together with her
D. telling her how to write the letters on her own
49. What can be learned from the passage?
A. Alice made some progress in her studies.
B. Alice was deaf when she was born.
C. Laurent Clerc created the American Sign Language.
D. Only boys were allowed to learn the skill in making shoes in America.
50. The passage is mainly about 　　　.
A. American people’s concern about deaf kids
B. the life of an American girl Alice Cogswell
C. the development of the American Sign Language
D. the founding of the first school for deaf children in America

Are you angry? Are you unhappy in your job? Wish you had a means of expressing those feelings? Well, if you lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, you could go to Break Club. It’s made up of people who get together to break things as a way to release (释放) their feelings. They can throw bottles at the wall, or break an old computer into pieces.
Mora, a club member, is a 22-year-old media (媒体) producer who works hard and is always stressed out. She says, “I have to deal with so many people and things every day, which drives me mad. I have a paper heart and my nerves are at the breaking point. Well, now it’s time to break something.” She wears overalls (工装裤), thick gloves and glasses. In her hands there’s a baseball bat ready for action. After destroying an old computer monitor, Mora is almost out of breath but has a smile on her face. “I feel like a new person. I’m happy! I’m ready for anything!” she says.
The club’s creator, Guido Dodero, says most of the members are young women. Dodero explains, “This is still quite a manly country. Women feel angry and they also want to play an important role in society. They need to break from that every now and then and the club is the place for that.” Some members bring a picture of the former (以前的) husband to destroy. Others bring a picture of… well, it could be of you or me.
Dodero says Break Club is the only one of its kind in Argentina, but there are many similar clubs in Spain, Japan and the US. With the development of society, Break Club may become a necessary part of daily life. There might be one near you soon. Do you feel like breaking things?

Many teens may become very angry when they find their diaries were read by their parents without their permission. In my opinion, parents should respect their children and believe in them so that they can become more independent. But if the teens are not honest and responsible, parents can take some necessary measures to keep the teens safe from dangerous behavior.

Dear Miss Wang,
It’s a pleasure to have you as our English teacher.
With English widely used in the world, it is necessary for us to learn it well. Personally I’m good at English, but I have two main problems in my study: I feel it difficult to learn new words by heart, and I often feel nervous when speaking English. I really expect you to give me some good advice on how to keep new words in mind. Another suggestion is to give us more chances to practice our spoken English. I think I can make great progress in English with your help.
Wish you well in your new teaching.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
