Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
Most students try to learn English grammar using grammar textbooks.They study grammar rules.They take grammar tests.They use an analytical approach，attempting to memorize and then apply a great number of rules.
Research has proven this method to be inefficient and ineffective.The truth is，the human brain simply cannot consciously remember，process，and use hundreds or thousands of grammar rules.Real speech is much too fast.
Native speakers do not learn grammar in this_way.Native speakers learn English grammar intuitively(直觉地) and subconsciously.They learn in a holistic way，rather than attempting to memorize individual grammar rules.As a result，native speakers easily process and use correct grammar at normal speaking speeds.
Fortunately，it is possible for English learners to learn grammar in the same way as native speakers.Language teacher Blaine Ray has developed a unique system for teaching English grammar in an intuitive
way.
Specifically，the system uses “Point of View Stories” to teach the patterns of English grammar.Students subconsciously acquire correct grammar，but they never study grammar rules.
In this system，the teacher first tells a simple story from one point of view.For example，a story is told about the past.Next，the teacher tells the same exact story，but begins with “since he was a child”．Next，the teacher tells exactly the same story again，but the story is told about the future.
By listening to the stories，students intuitively and effortlessly learn English grammar.More importantly，they are able to use correct grammar when they speak.
Point of View Stories are an innovative new way to study English grammar，offering hope to millions of frustrated English learners.
36．The following are all traditional ways to study English grammar EXCEPT________.
A．remember many grammar rules
B．taking grammar tests
C．analysing grammar structure
D．applying language situation
37．What does the underlined words “this way” mean?
A．Trying to memorize and using a great number of rules.
B．Learning English grammar in an intuitive manner.
C．Speaking English in a high speed.
D．Learning English grammar from a teacher.
38．From this passage we can learn________.
A．Native speakers learn English grammar by listening stories
B．Blaine Ray doesn't teach students grammar rules
C．Blaine Ray's system teaches grammar rules by telling stories
D．students can't speak correct English in the new grammar system
39．This passage wants to________.
A．tell us how to learn English grammar simply
B．introduce an innovative new way to study English grammar
C．ask students to learn English grammar by listening to more stories
D．tell us how to learn English grammar effectively in traditional way
B
Why are audio language learning methods so successful? Language is primarily a spoken form of communication.Languages evolved that way，and continue to change based on the sounds of languages.This is how we learned our native language as children.Think about it.Literacy(读写能力) only began to rise in the last few hundred years.For the previous 6,000 years of human written history，reading was only for the ruling class and priesthood(神职)．The other 99% of us learned and used our native language as a purely spoken form.This is something often overlooked.In fact，I believe that the most successful methods are more audio-based than otherwise.We can't ignore the importance of reading，but clearly the most fundamental aspect of communicating in a language is speaking and listening.

Advantages
Better pronunciation.With an audio method，you can take your time practicing your pronunciation and comparing it to the native speakers you hear on the tapes or CDs.You will have better pronunciation skills and a better accent than you would with only a book to go by.
Hearing the language.You will actually hear the language with its unique rhythms spoken by native speakers.Speaking is only part of the problem，you still need to understand what someone is saying to you.With audio language learning methods，you will be encouraged to engage the native speakers on the CD in a conversation，which will accelerate your ability to hear and understand the language.
It's convenient.You can take it with you wherever you go，provided you have a CD or cassette player.This kind of method is great for use in the car or with a walkman on your morning jog，or even doing housework.Our minds can be occupied with something productive while our hands are doing mindless work!
40．The first paragraph mainly tells us________
A．the reason for successful audio language learning
B．the history of audio language learning
C．some examples of audio language learning
D．the source of audio language learning
41．The underlined word probably means________.
A．look down on B．leave out
C．look past D．leave undone
42．In the author's opinion，the first important part of a language is________.
A．pronunciation B．hearing
C．speaking D．reading
43．What can be written following this part?
A．Learning methods of audio language
B．Comparison with other learning methods
C．Other language learning methods
D．Disadvantages of audio language
C
Language learning begins with listening.Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking，and later starters are often long listeners.Most children will “obey” instructions some time before they can speak，though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child.Before they can speak，many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.
Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties.It is agreed that they enjoy making noises，and during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight，pain，friendliness，and so on.But since these can't be said to show the baby's intention to communicate，they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language.It is agreed，too，that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment，and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store.This self-imitation leads to deliberate imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people.
It is a problem we need to get our teeth into.The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the word.Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother can not be dismissed as a meaningless simply because he also uses it at other times for his father，his dog，or anything else he likes.Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself.
44．Before children started speaking________.
A．they need equal amount of listening
B．they need different amounts of listening
C．they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions
D．they can't understand and obey the adult's oral instructions
45．Children who start speaking later________.
A．may have problems with their listening
B．probably do not hear enough language spoken
around them
C．usually pay close attention to what they hear
D．often take a long time in learning to listen properly
46．The problem of deciding at what point a baby's imitations can be considered as speech________.
A．is important because words have different meanings for different people
B．is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually
C．is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age
D．is one that should be completely ignored because children's use of words is often meaningless
D
A prosperous money-lender bought a house located right next door to the house of a tanner(鞣皮匠)．From morning till evening the tanner change hide(兽皮) into leather by treating it with tannin(单宁)．From day one the money-lender was put off by the unpleasant smells of the tannery.
So，he visited the tanner's house and offered to buy his house.“I would love to sell the house if you buy it，” said the tanner.He didn't want to do any such thing but he liked to play tricks.“Give me a week or so to deal with some things，will you？”The money-lender agreed and went away.
A week later，the overpowering smell coming from the tannery brought the money-lender to the tanner's doorstep again.“I understand sir，” said the tanner with wide-eyed sympathy.“But my mother is visiting me this week.I can't sell the house until she goes away.Please wait for a month.”
The money-lender agreed with great reluctance.He began to wait eagerly for the guest's departure.In the beginning he counted each day，impatiently waiting for one to finish and the other to begin.After a while，he found he was no longer so interested in the month coming to an end.He had simply forgotten about it.
He did not ask the tanner to leave when they met next，either.You see，by then the money-lender had become accustomed to the tan-yard's smell.“What have you done to drive away that terrible smell？” he asked the tanner.“Have you reduced the solution？”
The tanner smiled and nodded.He had been waiting for the day the money-lender would get used to the smells from the tannery and stop bothering him.That was why he had asked the money-lender to wait in the first place.
47．After a week's waiting，the money-lender's feeling became________.
A．angry B．calm
C．nervous D．anxious
48．How many times did the money-lender ask the the tanner to leave?
A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4.

A．he wanted to make some repairs to his house
B．he wanted to do some cleaning to his house
C．his mother would live in his house for a month
D．he wouldn't sell his house from the bottom of his heart
50．At last the money-lender________.

Ⅴ.短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
(2013·长春外国语学校高二上期末)During the 20th century the temperature of earth rose rapidly comparing to other natural changes. There is a fierce debate over whether it is human activity which has caused this global warming and it is just a natural phenomenon.
Many scientists believed that people have caused the increase in the earth’s temperature through the burning of fossil fuels. Some byproduct of this process are called “greenhouse” gases, the most importantly one being carbon dioxide.
When they burn fossil fuels, we add huge quantities of extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. The increased amount of carbon dioxide means that more heat energy is trapping in the atmosphere，causing the global temperature to rise. Scientists believe that the burning of more and more fossil fuels has resulted at this increase in carbon dioxide.

【语篇解读】 很多学生想用语法书来学习语法。他们学习语法规则，参加语法考试，他们用一种分析的途径想记忆并运用这些规则。研究表明这是一种效果不好的方式，那些说本族语的人并没有记忆语法规则也能用不出语法错误的语言来进行谈话。语言老师Blaine Ray创建了一种教授英语语法的直觉的方式，这就是 “Point of View Stories”体系，在这个体系中老师先从一个观点讲一个故事，通过听故事学生直觉地学习了语法，更重要的是他们会应用了。这种学习英语语法的方法是一种创新地学习语法的方法。
36．D 细节理解题。从第一段的内容可以看出A、B、C项全是传统的教授语法的方法，只要D项不是。
37．A 指代关系猜测题。从第一段的内容和下文的“Native speakers learn English grammar intuitively and subconsciously.”可以看出这里的“this way”指的是传统的学习英语语法的方式，即记忆大量的语法条目。
38．B 推理判断题。从第五段的最后一句可以推断出B项是正确的；A项中的“native speakers”是不符合事实的；C项中的“grammar rules”也用的不妥；D项事实错误，应该是“会说正确的英语”。
39．B 主旨大意题。本文首先介绍了传统的学习英语语法的方式的弊端，从而给大家推荐了一种革新了的学习语法的方式，就是“Point of View Stories”的方法，还具体介绍了这种方法的操作方法。A项的“simply”的表述不对。
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了为什么通过声音的语言学习方法如此成功。是因为这种方法是人类本能的交流需要。还介绍了通过声音进行语言学习的一些优势。
40．A 段落大意题。第一段的第一句话就是这段的主题句，故A项正确；B、C、D项都不正确。
41．B 词义猜测题。从上句的“我们当中其它的99%学习和使用我们的母语作为一种纯口语形式。”和下句的“其实，我相信大多数成功的方法多以声音为基础的而不是其它方法。”可以推测出这里的“overlook”一词是“忽略，忽视”的意思，和“leave out”同义。
42．C 细节理解题。从第一段的倒数第二句“In fact，I believe that the most successful methods are more audio-based than otherwise.”可以看出本题的正确答案为C。
43．D 推理判断题。从第一的概述到第二部分的advantages，接下来应该写它的disadvantages，再接下来就应该有针对性的写具体的学习方法了。
【语篇解读】 本文从孩子学说话的过程规律揭示了语音的学习规律。
44．B 细节理解题。从第一段的第一、二句可以得知在孩子学说话之前先进行听的练习。
45．D 推理判断题。从第二段的第二句可以推断出本题的答案为D。
46．B 细节理解题。第三段第二句，以及下文所举的例子说明，孩子模仿的声音在什么时候能确定为语音并不很重要，随着孩子的成长，孩子模仿的含义也在变化。
【语篇解读】 这是一个有着深刻寓意的故事，从放债人的要求购买鞣皮匠发出令人难以忍耐的气味的房子，到最终放弃，正是鞣皮匠的聪明做法使得自己最终还是保住了自己的生意，也给邻居也适应这种环境留足了时间。
47．D 推理判断题。从第四段的第二、三句话可以看出这个放债人的心情变的焦急起来了。
48．B 细节理解题。从第二段的第一句话和第三段的第一句话可以看出这个放款人共有两次要求这个鞣皮匠离开。
49．D 推理判断题。从最后一段的最后一句话可以推断出这个鞣皮匠根本就不想把自己的房子卖掉。
50．B 细节理解题。从最后一段的“...would get used to the smells from the tannery and stop bothering him.”可以判断出正确的答案为B。

Dear Fred，
How's everything? The winter vacation is coming.I have a plan for a trip.I'm writing to discuss it with you.
You can first come to Beijing and we'll see the ice sculptures together.Then we'll fly to Hainan，where we can see the beautiful views of the sea and taste the seafood.I suggest we come back by train so we can stop in Wuhan to see my grandmother.When we are back to Beijing，I'd like you to stay for a couple of days with my family for the Spring Festival.
What do you think of my idea? If you have any better suggestions，please let me know.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Learning English has mushroomed in Vietnam since 1986 when the Vietnamese government started to implement(实施) the policy of Doi Moi (new change) which promoted interaction with the outside world，particularly with the West，after many years of isolation due to the effect of war.English has become one of the most popular subjects in secondary education.Private English classes have provided eager learners with an alternative place for learning English apart from traditional public schools.The great demand of English in Vietnam has created a huge shortage of EFL teachers.In response to the Vietnamese government's requests，English-speaking countries such as Australia，New Zealand，Great Britain，USA，Canada，and Singapore have provided scholarships and training courses for current and prospective Vietnamese teachers of English.However，the interest in English has brought along great interest in Western cultures，particularly music.English music has become very popular.Except in some traditional musical performance，most of musical shows include many English songs.Universities and colleges are often the place where English songs are performed.They promote an educational discourse in which English language teaching and English music play an important part.
Vietnamese students are well known as music lovers.Virtually，all their social activities，formally and informally，include singing and playing guitars.Some students sing English songs perfectly as if they were native speakers of English.This evidence supports the view that some students learn English with the help of music.The case of an American singer who could sing Vietnamese songs flawlessly without knowing a Vietnamese word is well known among Vietnamese EFL students.In order to pursue this view further，a study was conducted in Vietnam to examine the relationship between music and EFL.

A．spread or increase rapidly
B．reduce or cut slowly
C．gather in mass

D．encourage students to go abroad to learn English
3．From this passage we can know the most audience of English songs are________.
A．English teachers B．professional singers
C．students D．composers
4．The author thinks________.
A．learning English can give help to leaning music
B．learning music has nothing to do with leaning music
C．learning English only by the way of learning music
D．learning music can contribute to learning English well
5．The main reason for writing this passage was to________.
A．introduce a way of learning English to readers

C．investigate the role that music played in English
learning
