Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages.They can pick up new vocabulary，master rules of grammar，and learn to write in a new language more quickly than others.They do not seem to be more intelligent than others，so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.
First of all，successful language learners are independent learners.They do not depend on the book or the teacher；they discover their own way to learn the language.Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain，they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves.They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.When they guess wrong，they guess again.They try to learn from their mistakes.
Successful language learning is active learning.Therefore，successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake.They will try anything to communicate.They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again.When communication is difficult，they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete.It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
Finally，successful language learners are learners with a purpose.They want to learn the language because they are interested in the people who speak it.It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.
What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner，you have probably been learning independently，actively and purposefully.On the other hand，if your language learning has been less than successful，you might do well to try some of the techniques outlined above.
36．What makes language learning easier for some people than for others according to this text?
A．Some people learn grammar more quickly than others.
B．Successful language learners use special techniques.
C．Some people have good teachers and good books.
D．Successful language learners are more intelligent than others.
37．How do successful language learners learn languages?
A．They learn independently，actively and purposefully.
B．They learn special techniques from their teachers.
C．They learn the rules and patterns of the language from books.
D．They learn to think about the meaning of every new word.
38．Why do successful language learners find it easy to practice using the language regularly?
A．They find it easy to communicate.
B．They look for inexact information.
C．They want to teach the language to others.
D．They want to learn from people who speak the language.
39．Why did the author write this text?
A．To teach people to speak English.
B．To explain why language learning is difficult.
C．To compare language learning with other types of learning.
D．To encourage language learners to use these techniques.

Some years ago，while in Denmark，I visited a laughter club in a small town.While having dinner，laughter leader，Heine Hansen，told me he first learnt about laughter clubs from a newspaper，and immediately joined one as soon as it opened in his area.
He encouraged his mother to accompany him to the laughter club，as his wife refused and ignored (不理睬) the idea.Later，out of curiosity，she attended one laughter club and was surprised to find how so many people could laugh so much at absolutely nothing.In fact，she even admitted that laughing was the hardest ever in her life.
Heine said he was a very serious person working on the computer the whole day in a big factory.But after joining the laughter club and attending the first few classes，he found a great change.Whenever he walked through his office，his colleagues would smile at him，which was rather unusual.It really surprised him.He asked his colleagues the reason why they smiled at him，and his colleagues said that they were just returning his smile as they found him smiling like never before.Heine realized that it was a change in his behavior (行为) and attitude that had brought about a change in the behavior of others.He was just getting back what he was giving.A smile for a smile!
This is true in all relationships.We may do something to others and when they do the same to us，we sometimes get offended (触怒)．Remember，others will always treat you the way you treat them.So if you don't like what you get from others，it could be that you are treating them in a similar manner.Your own actions are responsible for people's reactions; they decide what comes your way.
40．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Life is like a mirror
B．Act as others do in life
C．Learn from others
D．Laughter clubs are helpful
41．We can infer from the story of Heine that ________.
A．he got what he had given in work
B．he was easy to get along with
C．he benefited a lot from joining the club
D．to laugh is a way of being polite
42．Before attending the laughter club，Heine and his wife probably ________.
A．refused each other often
B．ignored the family members
C．were both serious people
D．were very popular with others
43．What does the underlined word“they”in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Other people. B．Others' actions.
C．Relationships. D．Our own actions.

Right now you are reading English.That means you are using your brain in a very active way.Reading is a very active process.It is true that the writer does a lot of work，but the reader also has to work hard.Here are some useful tips for you.
Try to read at the right level.Read something that you can (more or less)understand.If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary，it is not interesting for you and you will soon be discouraged.
Make a note of new vocabulary.If there are four or five new words on a page，write them in your vocabulary book.But you don't have to write them while you are reading.Instead，try to guess their meaning as you read；mark them with a pen; then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and add them to your vocabulary book.
Try to read regularly.For example，read for a short time once a day.Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday.Fix a time to read and keep to it.For example，you could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed，or when you get up，or at lunchtime.
Read what interests you.Choose a magazine or book about a subject that you like.If you choose something that you like to read，it can actually be interesting and enjoyable.For example，if you like to read about football in your own language，why not read about football in English? You will get information about football and improve your English at the same time.
44．The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A．praise B．guide
C．entertain D．persuade
45．If we meet a few new words on a page while reading，we should ________.
A．write them down at once
B．guess the meaning at first
C．give up reading them
D．turn to teachers or classmates
46．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．We must spend two hours in reading every day.
B．We should only read some easy books which don't have new words.
C．When we meet a new word，mark it with a pen and look it up in a dictionary at once.
D．If we read some books which we are interested in，we will find reading enjoyable.
47．What would be the best title of the passage?
A．Why is reading so important?
B．How to make reading special
C．What interests a good reader?
D．How to improve our reading skills

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Sometimes it's easy to go into a lazy state when you leave work.You might hit the sofa and turn on the TV as soon as you get home.Instead，you know you should do useful things like reading or shopping.The following are some tips to avoid getting lazy after a long day at work.
Go somewhere else.Keep moving and avoid sitting for too long when you get home.If you want to start your personal projects，you should go out and find a place where you can work or learn new things.For example，a coffee shop is an ideal place to catch up on the news.Being outside your house will make you stay away from unwanted distractions (干扰) like the TV and bed.Being in a public place will also help you stay awake longer.
Practice the 10-minute rule.When working on your side projects，start by spending ten minutes on them，never less.When your time is up，you can stop and congratulate yourself on your good job.If you feel like continuing with your task，then do so.The important thing is you got started.Ten minutes is valuable when spent on taking steps towards your goal.
Choose projects close to your heart.Projects you are attracted to are easier to work on.Working on something close to your heart gives you the energy and drives you to achieve your goals.If the project isn't very exciting，give yourself a reward you're passionate (有激情的) about.
Write down your schedule.Writing down your schedule will make you feel encouraged and excited throughout the day.Have your evening planned even before you leave the office.Having specific goals makes it easier to get started and finish them.Keep a check-list in your workplace to keep record of all your goals.Keep your goals realistic (现实的) so you won't get discouraged; you can create more goals as you go along.Remember，you also have other duties to take care of.
Get up early for your projects.Sometimes taking on side projects can feel like a difficult task especially if no ideas are coming in.When this happens，you can go to bed and wake up early instead.You can spend some time reading before going to work.Waking up early will also help you avoid the stress of rushing to work.

综合检测(二)
1．D 句意：既然由非常有能力的约翰来负责那件事情，那么我们确信事情已经在控制之中了。in charge of“(人)负责……”；under control“(被)控制住”。根据句意，答案为D项。
2．A replace...with...用……代替……。句意：在最近十年里，即使是偏远地区新的彩电也都替代了旧的黑白电视机。
3．A 句意：那个连续撞了9人的男子喝了太多酒，所以他的大脑分辨不出幻想和现实。distinguish“区别，辨别”，符合句意。discourage“使气馁，阻碍”；disturb“扰乱，妨碍”；disappear“消失；不存在”。

6．D 句意：在各种各样的树上都可看到树叶，但是它们大小不同，形状各异。考查动词与介词的搭配。differ常用搭配：differ from与……不同；differ in在某方面不同，故选D。

11．D 句意：环境保护论者说野山羊在广阔的草原上的出现(appearance)是环境好转的迹象。escape，“逃跑；逃避”；absence，“缺席”；attendance，“出席；照料”。
12．D D项意为“……并不是所有学生考试及格。”not all...为部分否定，符合题意；A、B、C项时态与主句不一致。
13．B as a whole作为整体；on the whole总的来说；on one hand一方面；on the other hand另一方面。句意：你的作文有些拼写错误，但总的来说还是不错的。
14．C where引导表语从句，在从句中作状语。本句意为“那正是他们的错误所在。”根据句意及语法C项正确。
15．B 句意：只抱怨不行动是没有用的。题干是“It is no use doing...”句式，其中it是形式主语，真正的主语是后置的动名词短语。

17．A make a visit to sp.意为“到某地旅行”，是固定搭配。
18．D be sure意为“肯定，确定”，符合语境。

30．D 洗刷餐具应是在饭后，所以D项正确。
31．D 因为“我”想打电话告诉“我”的朋友“我”到了，所以应是最后“我”终于打了电话。
32．C 后面内容是“我”的朋友解释的内容，所以C项正确。
33．C give sb.a call＝give sb.a ring，意为“给某人打电话”。
34．B wash up＝wash your hands，由上文可知答案。

40．A 通读全文我们可以看出本文就是告诉我们一个道理：生活就是一面镜子，你对它微笑，它就对你微笑；你对它悲伤，它就还给你悲伤。所以A项作为题目最合适。
41．C 由第三段可以看出Heine加入laughter club改变了很多，也收获了很多快乐。所以C项是正确的。
42．C 由第二段中的In fact，she even admitted that laughing was the hardest ever in her life和第三段中的Heine said he was a very serious person working on the computer the whole day in a big factory可以看出C项的推断是成立的。
43．D 这里的they是承接前面的句子说的，根据对语意的理解我们可以看出这里是指our own actions。因此答案为D项。
44．B 通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了提高阅读技能的方法。因而可推出本文写作目的为“引导”。故选B。
45．B 根据文章第三段的Instead，try to guess their meaning as you read...可知，阅读时如果遇到了生词，应该先猜测生词的意思。故选B。

【参考范文】
Dear_Editor，
I'm_a_student_in_Senior_Three.We_have_made_a_survey－“Whom_do_you_turn_to_when_in_trouble？”_Here_are_the_results.
Most of the students will go to their classmates or friends for help when in trouble.Being of the same age，they can talk with and understand each other easily.Some students will tell their teachers or parents about their troubles and ask for their help，as the teachers and parents have rich experience and love them very much.They can be trusted by these students.Only 10% of the students solve their problems all by themselves，probably because they hate to talk with others and can't get on well with others.Therefore，they have few friends.
In my opinion，when in trouble we'd better ask our teachers，parents，friends or classmates for help.Different people have different experiences.And they are likely to help you out of the troubles.Then you can solve some of your difficulties and feel relaxed.
Thank you.Best wishes
Yours，
Jack

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages.They can pick up new vocabulary，master rules of grammar，and learn to write in a new language more quickly than others.They do not seem to be more intelligent than others，so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.
First of all，successful language learners are independent learners.They do not depend on the book or the teacher；they discover their own way to learn the language.Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain，they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves.They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.When they guess wrong，they guess again.They try to learn from their mistakes.
Successful language learning is active learning.Therefore，successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake.They will try anything to communicate.They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again.When communication is difficult，they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete.It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
Finally，successful language learners are learners with a purpose.They want to learn the language because they are interested in the people who speak it.It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.
What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner，you have probably been learning independently，actively and purposefully.On the other hand，if your language learning has been less than successful，you might do well to try some of the techniques outlined above.
36．What makes language learning easier for some people than for others according to this text?
A．Some people learn grammar more quickly than others.
B．Successful language learners use special techniques.
C．Some people have good teachers and good books.
D．Successful language learners are more intelligent than others.
37．How do successful language learners learn languages?
A．They learn independently，actively and purposefully.
B．They learn special techniques from their teachers.
C．They learn the rules and patterns of the language from books.
D．They learn to think about the meaning of every new word.
38．Why do successful language learners find it easy to practice using the language regularly?
A．They find it easy to communicate.
B．They look for inexact information.
C．They want to teach the language to others.
D．They want to learn from people who speak the language.
39．Why did the author write this text?
A．To teach people to speak English.
B．To explain why language learning is difficult.
C．To compare language learning with other types of learning.
D．To encourage language learners to use these techniques.

Some years ago，while in Denmark，I visited a laughter club in a small town.While having dinner，laughter leader，Heine Hansen，told me he first learnt about laughter clubs from a newspaper，and immediately joined one as soon as it opened in his area.
He encouraged his mother to accompany him to the laughter club，as his wife refused and ignored (不理睬) the idea.Later，out of curiosity，she attended one laughter club and was surprised to find how so many people could laugh so much at absolutely nothing.In fact，she even admitted that laughing was the hardest ever in her life.
Heine said he was a very serious person working on the computer the whole day in a big factory.But after joining the laughter club and attending the first few classes，he found a great change.Whenever he walked through his office，his colleagues would smile at him，which was rather unusual.It really surprised him.He asked his colleagues the reason why they smiled at him，and his colleagues said that they were just returning his smile as they found him smiling like never before.Heine realized that it was a change in his behavior (行为) and attitude that had brought about a change in the behavior of others.He was just getting back what he was giving.A smile for a smile!
This is true in all relationships.We may do something to others and when they do the same to us，we sometimes get offended (触怒)．Remember，others will always treat you the way you treat them.So if you don't like what you get from others，it could be that you are treating them in a similar manner.Your own actions are responsible for people's reactions; they decide what comes your way.
40．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Life is like a mirror
B．Act as others do in life
C．Learn from others
D．Laughter clubs are helpful
41．We can infer from the story of Heine that ________.
A．he got what he had given in work
B．he was easy to get along with
C．he benefited a lot from joining the club
D．to laugh is a way of being polite
42．Before attending the laughter club，Heine and his wife probably ________.
A．refused each other often
B．ignored the family members
C．were both serious people
D．were very popular with others
43．What does the underlined word“they”in the last paragraph refer to?
A．Other people. B．Others' actions.
C．Relationships. D．Our own actions.

Right now you are reading English.That means you are using your brain in a very active way.Reading is a very active process.It is true that the writer does a lot of work，but the reader also has to work hard.Here are some useful tips for you.
Try to read at the right level.Read something that you can (more or less)understand.If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary，it is not interesting for you and you will soon be discouraged.
Make a note of new vocabulary.If there are four or five new words on a page，write them in your vocabulary book.But you don't have to write them while you are reading.Instead，try to guess their meaning as you read；mark them with a pen; then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and add them to your vocabulary book.
Try to read regularly.For example，read for a short time once a day.Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday.Fix a time to read and keep to it.For example，you could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed，or when you get up，or at lunchtime.
Read what interests you.Choose a magazine or book about a subject that you like.If you choose something that you like to read，it can actually be interesting and enjoyable.For example，if you like to read about football in your own language，why not read about football in English? You will get information about football and improve your English at the same time.
44．The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A．praise B．guide
C．entertain D．persuade
45．If we meet a few new words on a page while reading，we should ________.
A．write them down at once
B．guess the meaning at first
C．give up reading them
D．turn to teachers or classmates
46．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．We must spend two hours in reading every day.
B．We should only read some easy books which don't have new words.
C．When we meet a new word，mark it with a pen and look it up in a dictionary at once.
D．If we read some books which we are interested in，we will find reading enjoyable.
47．What would be the best title of the passage?
A．Why is reading so important?
B．How to make reading special
C．What interests a good reader?
D．How to improve our reading skills

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Sometimes it's easy to go into a lazy state when you leave work.You might hit the sofa and turn on the TV as soon as you get home.Instead，you know you should do useful things like reading or shopping.The following are some tips to avoid getting lazy after a long day at work.
Go somewhere else.Keep moving and avoid sitting for too long when you get home.If you want to start your personal projects，you should go out and find a place where you can work or learn new things.For example，a coffee shop is an ideal place to catch up on the news.Being outside your house will make you stay away from unwanted distractions (干扰) like the TV and bed.Being in a public place will also help you stay awake longer.
Practice the 10-minute rule.When working on your side projects，start by spending ten minutes on them，never less.When your time is up，you can stop and congratulate yourself on your good job.If you feel like continuing with your task，then do so.The important thing is you got started.Ten minutes is valuable when spent on taking steps towards your goal.
Choose projects close to your heart.Projects you are attracted to are easier to work on.Working on something close to your heart gives you the energy and drives you to achieve your goals.If the project isn't very exciting，give yourself a reward you're passionate (有激情的) about.
Write down your schedule.Writing down your schedule will make you feel encouraged and excited throughout the day.Have your evening planned even before you leave the office.Having specific goals makes it easier to get started and finish them.Keep a check-list in your workplace to keep record of all your goals.Keep your goals realistic (现实的) so you won't get discouraged; you can create more goals as you go along.Remember，you also have other duties to take care of.
Get up early for your projects.Sometimes taking on side projects can feel like a difficult task especially if no ideas are coming in.When this happens，you can go to bed and wake up early instead.You can spend some time reading before going to work.Waking up early will also help you avoid the stress of rushing to work.

综合检测(二)

2．A replace...with...用……代替……。句意：在最近十年里，即使是偏远地区新的彩电也都替代了旧的黑白电视机。
3．A 句意：那个连续撞了9人的男子喝了太多酒，所以他的大脑分辨不出幻想和现实。distinguish“区别，辨别”，符合句意。discourage“使气馁，阻碍”；disturb“扰乱，妨碍”；disappear“消失；不存在”。

6．D 句意：在各种各样的树上都可看到树叶，但是它们大小不同，形状各异。考查动词与介词的搭配。differ常用搭配：differ from与……不同；differ in在某方面不同，故选D。

【参考范文】
Dear_Editor，
I'm_a_student_in_Senior_Three.We_have_made_a_survey－“Whom_do_you_turn_to_when_in_trouble？”_Here_are_the_results.
Most of the students will go to their classmates or friends for help when in trouble.Being of the same age，they can talk with and understand each other easily.Some students will tell their teachers or parents about their troubles and ask for their help，as the teachers and parents have rich experience and love them very much.They can be trusted by these students.Only 10% of the students solve their problems all by themselves，probably because they hate to talk with others and can't get on well with others.Therefore，they have few friends.
In my opinion，when in trouble we'd better ask our teachers，parents，friends or classmates for help.Different people have different experiences.And they are likely to help you out of the troubles.Then you can solve some of your difficulties and feel relaxed.
Thank you.Best wishes
Yours，
Jack

Ⅲ.完形填空
It often appears that we have more to gain by speaking than by listening.One big advantage of speaking is that it gives you a chance to control others' thoughts and actions.Whatever your goal－to have a boss hire you，to __1__ others to vote for the person of your __2__，or to describe the __3__ you want your hair cut－the key to success seems to be the __4__ to speak well.
Another obvious advantage of speaking is the chance it provides to __5__ the admiration，respect，or liking of others.__6__ jokes，and everyone will think you're really a wise man.
__7__ advice，and they'll be __8__ for your help.Tell them __9__ you know，and they'll be impressed by your wisdom.But keep quiet，and it seems as if you'll look like a worthless nobody.
Finally，talking gives you the __10__ to release energy in a way that listening can't.When you're __11__，the chance to talk about your problems can often help you feel better.In the same way，you can often __12__ your anger by letting it out orally.It is also helpful to __13__ your excitement with others by talking about it，for keeping it inside often __14__ you feeling as if you might burst.
While it is true that talking does have many advantages.it's important to __15__ that listening can do good to listeners，too.As you'll soon read，being a good listener is one good way to __16__ others with their problems；and what better way is there __17__ others appreciate you？As for controlling others，it may be true that it's hard to be persuasive while you're listening，but your __18__ to hear others out will often leave them open to thinking about your ideas in return.__19__ is often reciprocal(互惠的)：you get what you __20__.

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Almost every language in the world has a saying that a person can never be too rich.
Americans，like people in other countries，always want more money.One way they express this is by protesting(抗议) that their jobs do not pay enough.A common expression is，“I am working for chickenfeed.”It means working for very little money.The expression probably began because seeds fed to chickens made people think of small change.Small change means metal coins of not much value，like a nickel which is worth five cents.
An early use of the word chickenfeed appeared in an American publication in nineteen thirty.It told of a rich man and his son.Word expert Mitford Mathews says it read，“I'll bet neither the kid nor his father ever saw a nickel or a dime.They would not have been interested in such chickenfeed.”
Chickenfeed also has another interesting meaning known to history experts and World War Two spies and soldiers.
Spy expert Henry S．A.Becket writes that some German spies working in London during the war also worked for the British.The British government had to make the Germans believe their spies were working.So，British officials gave them mostly false information.It was called chickenfeed.
The same person who protests that he is working for chickenfeed may also say，“I am working for peanuts.”He means he is working for a small amount of money.It is a very different meaning from the main one in the dictionary.That meaning is small nuts that grow on a plant.No one knows for sure how a word for something to eat also came to mean something very small.But，a peanut is a very small food.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2013·无锡高一检测)During lectures，my students often ask which is the most difficult language to learn.It's not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration.For a person's first language these factors are unimportant because people learn their mother tongue naturally.So the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.
Studies have shown that native speakers of Spanish find Portuguese much easier to learn than，say，native speakers of Chinese，because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish，while Chinese is very different.So a person's first language affects their learning of a second language.The greater the differences between a second language and the first，the harder it will be for most people to learn.Many Westerners think that Chinese is the hardest language to learn because of its writing system and pronunciation.But for Japanese speakers，who already use Chinese characters in their own language，learning writing is less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.
A recent study reported that British embassy staff found that the second hardest language to learn was Japanese.More surprising was the language that they found most problematic－Hungarian.In this case the issue was not the writing system(as both English and Hungarian use a similar alphabet) but grammatical complexity.Hungarian has 35 cases (forms of a noun according to whether it is subject，object，genitive，etc.) and it was this that caused the British diplomatic personnel most difficulty.One suspects they would have even more problems with Tabasaran，a Caucasian language with 48 cases，if they ever had to learn it.
Teachers and the circumstances in which a language is learned also play important roles，as does each learner's motivation for learning.If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally，they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day-to-day life.
Put simply，no language is easy to learn well，though languages which are related to our first language are easier.Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge，but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another.In the end，it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.
1．According to the passage，who is likely to have the most difficulty learning a new language?
A．A Korean person learning French.
B．A Spanish person learning Portuguese.
C．A German person learning English.
D．A Chinese person learning Japanese.
2．Which language do British embassy staff find most difficult to learn?
A．Japanese. B．Caucasian.
C．Hungarian D．Tabasaran
3．Which of the following is Not mentioned as a factor affecting language learning?
A．The amount of time spent studying the new language.
B．The environment in which language learning takes place.
C．The reasons a person has for learning the new language.
D．The similarity between a person's first language and the new language.
4．Why does the author believe there's no single hardest language?
A．All languages are equally difficult to learn well.
B．With enough effort，any language can be learned well.
C．There is not enough evidence to make any final
conclusion
D．To different people，the hardest language is different.
5．The writer is probably ________.
A．a language learner
B．a language teacher
C．a newspaper journalist
D．an embassy official
Ⅳ.任务型阅读
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
Most of us like to travel，then how can we stay healthy and fit while on the road? Somebody may use traveling as an excuse to get out of their healthy habits，but that can cause damage to your health.Actually，with little effort，we can stay in shape as well as enjoy traveling when we get back.Here are some tips that can help you.
Move around!

Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2013·无锡高一检测)During lectures，my students often ask which is the most difficult language to learn.It's not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration.For a person's first language these factors are unimportant because people learn their mother tongue naturally.So the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.
Studies have shown that native speakers of Spanish find Portuguese much easier to learn than，say，native speakers of Chinese，because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish，while Chinese is very different.So a person's first language affects their learning of a second language.The greater the differences between a second language and the first，the harder it will be for most people to learn.Many Westerners think that Chinese is the hardest language to learn because of its writing system and pronunciation.But for Japanese speakers，who already use Chinese characters in their own language，learning writing is less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.
A recent study reported that British embassy staff found that the second hardest language to learn was Japanese.More surprising was the language that they found most problematic－Hungarian.In this case the issue was not the writing system(as both English and Hungarian use a similar alphabet) but grammatical complexity.Hungarian has 35 cases (forms of a noun according to whether it is subject，object，genitive，etc.) and it was this that caused the British diplomatic personnel most difficulty.One suspects they would have even more problems with Tabasaran，a Caucasian language with 48 cases，if they ever had to learn it.
Teachers and the circumstances in which a language is learned also play important roles，as does each learner's motivation for learning.If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally，they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day-to-day life.
Put simply，no language is easy to learn well，though languages which are related to our first language are easier.Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge，but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another.In the end，it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.
1．According to the passage，who is likely to have the most difficulty learning a new language?
A．A Korean person learning French.
B．A Spanish person learning Portuguese.
C．A German person learning English.
D．A Chinese person learning Japanese.
2．Which language do British embassy staff find most difficult to learn?
A．Japanese. B．Caucasian.
C．Hungarian D．Tabasaran
3．Which of the following is Not mentioned as a factor affecting language learning?
A．The amount of time spent studying the new language.
B．The environment in which language learning takes place.
C．The reasons a person has for learning the new language.
D．The similarity between a person's first language and the new language.
4．Why does the author believe there's no single hardest language?
A．All languages are equally difficult to learn well.
B．With enough effort，any language can be learned well.
C．There is not enough evidence to make any final
conclusion
D．To different people，the hardest language is different.
5．The writer is probably ________.
A．a language learner
B．a language teacher
C．a newspaper journalist
D．an embassy official

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
In the English language there are striking similarities to many of the characteristics present in Spanish，French，and German.So what are the things that make English so difficult for foreign people to learn?
English doesn't necessarily have more regular consonant(辅音) or vowel(元音) sounds than other languages，but how the stress is placed on some of those consonants or vowels makes it such a difficult language for learners.There are hard and soft consonants like “c” taking on a “k” sound or an “s” sound depending upon the situation.There are silent letters in some words and then some consonants that take on an entirely different sound (like “th”)when combined.The changes in the pronunciation of words make English much more difficult to learn.
Another thing that makes English difficult to learn has to do with verb tense.Some languages have very limited changes in verb tense，sometimes just present and past，which makes it relatively simple to grasp.English，on the other hand，is a bit more difficult in this area.For example，in different situations it may be proper to use any of the following tenses: present，past，future，past perfect or present perfect.The verb “choose”can be used in the following forms depending on tense: choose，chose or chosen.This can be very difficult for a foreigner to grasp.
Slang is more widely used in American English than proper grammar.In the US just knowing the language as it's generally taught isn't enough.In every single region or even close neighborhoods，the same slang terms make an almost entirely different language.In some areas there are repeatedly used terms that wouldn't even be found in the Webster's Dictionary.They are created by locals and only locals understand them.This can make it very difficult for someone not familiar with the language to get used to it，especially if they don't remain in one area for a very long period.
1．The purpose of this passage is to________.
A．give advice on how to learn English well
B．tell us why English is very difficult to learn
C．encourage us to speak formal English
D．tell us how to deal with slang terms in English
2．According to the passage，the letter “c” in English
______.
A．is always stressed
B．never takes on an “s” sound
C．has at least two sounds
D．is often silent
3．Compared with some other languages，________.
A．English has more changes in verb tense
B．English has more regular rules of pronunciation
C．English verbs have fewer forms
D．English has more vowel sounds
4．From the passage we know that slang________.
A．is spread all over the world
B．can only be found in American English
C．is commonly used by some particular groups
D．has meanings that can only be found in dictionaries
5．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．pronunciation is the most difficult thing in learning English
B．all the slang terms should be added to the Webster's Dictionary
C．if you want to learn English well you first should learn some slang terms
D．people may understand the local language after living in a place for years
B
The Super Ball has been popular for many years，so we think most of us have played with a Super Ball.These rubber bouncy(弹性的)balls are famous for the amazing heights they can reach bounce after bounce.
The Super Ball was invented in 1964 by Norman Stingley，who was a chemist at the Bettis Rubber Company.He finally sold his invention to a toy manufacturer Wham-O.Wham-O helped him to perfect his invention into the famous toy we know today.
The Super Ball is a rubber ball known for its high bounce and restitution(恢复原状)．How high？You might be surprised！When dropped from the shoulder level，a Super Ball will bounce back almost all the way to where it was dropped.Thrown towards the ground by an average adult，a Super Ball can bounce as high as a three-story building.
Wham-O once created a large Super Ball，whose size was the same as a bowling ball.It was dropped from the top of an Australian hotel and destroyed a parked car on its second bounce!
In the 1960s，the Super Ball quickly became a fashionable toy.By the end of 1965，Wham-O had sold over six million of the bouncy balls.Finally，miniature versions(微型版)of the bouncy balls could be made as small as a dime in toy vending machines.
The Super Ball also can claim(宣称)to be the inspiration for the name of one of the most popular sporting events in the world.Lamar Hunt，who founded the American Football League，jokingly suggested that each year's football championship(冠军)be called the“Super Bowl”after watching his kids play with a Super Ball.It may have just been a joke，but sports writers quickly picked up on the name!
6．The Super Ball interests us very much probably because ________.
A．it can bounce repeatedly(反复地)very high
B．it can be made at home
C．it has an attractive appearance
D．it has a history of hundreds of years
7．Wham-O thought that Norman Stingley's invention
________.
A．was nothing but a toy for children
B．could probably bring him interests
C．was worth a large amount of money
D．has a scientific meaning
8．The author shows a Super Ball's great power of bounce by ________.
A．giving some practical examples
B．throwing it towards the ground
C．offering some exact numbers
D．comparing the differences
9．What probably happened in the early 1960s?
A．The Super Ball was worth only a dime.
B．The Super Ball destroyed cars sometimes.
C．The Super Ball became smaller and smaller.
D．The Super Ball was popular among people.
10．We can learn from the last paragraph that the“Super Bowl”is concerned with ________.
A．an activity that kids like best
B．a bowl used to have dinner
C．a sporting event
D．an interesting story

2．B consist of在此表示“由……组成”，不用于被动语态。若用make up，则要用其被动形式。

A
In the English language there are striking similarities to many of the characteristics present in Spanish，French，and German.So what are the things that make English so difficult for foreign people to learn?
English doesn't necessarily have more regular consonant(辅音) or vowel(元音) sounds than other languages，but how the stress is placed on some of those consonants or vowels makes it such a difficult language for learners.There are hard and soft consonants like “c” taking on a “k” sound or an “s” sound depending upon the situation.There are silent letters in some words and then some consonants that take on an entirely different sound (like “th”)when combined.The changes in the pronunciation of words make English much more difficult to learn.
Another thing that makes English difficult to learn has to do with verb tense.Some languages have very limited changes in verb tense，sometimes just present and past，which makes it relatively simple to grasp.English，on the other hand，is a bit more difficult in this area.For example，in different situations it may be proper to use any of the following tenses: present，past，future，past perfect or present perfect.The verb “choose”can be used in the following forms depending on tense: choose，chose or chosen.This can be very difficult for a foreigner to grasp.
Slang is more widely used in American English than proper grammar.In the US just knowing the language as it's generally taught isn't enough.In every single region or even close neighborhoods，the same slang terms make an almost entirely different language.In some areas there are repeatedly used terms that wouldn't even be found in the Webster's Dictionary.They are created by locals and only locals understand them.This can make it very difficult for someone not familiar with the language to get used to it，especially if they don't remain in one area for a very long period.
1．The purpose of this passage is to________.
A．give advice on how to learn English well
B．tell us why English is very difficult to learn
C．encourage us to speak formal English
D．tell us how to deal with slang terms in English
2．According to the passage，the letter “c” in English
______.
A．is always stressed
B．never takes on an “s” sound
C．has at least two sounds
D．is often silent
3．Compared with some other languages，________.
A．English has more changes in verb tense
B．English has more regular rules of pronunciation
C．English verbs have fewer forms
D．English has more vowel sounds
4．From the passage we know that slang________.
A．is spread all over the world
B．can only be found in American English
C．is commonly used by some particular groups
D．has meanings that can only be found in dictionaries
5．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．pronunciation is the most difficult thing in learning English
B．all the slang terms should be added to the Webster's Dictionary
C．if you want to learn English well you first should learn some slang terms
D．people may understand the local language after living in a place for years

The Super Ball has been popular for many years，so we think most of us have played with a Super Ball.These rubber bouncy(弹性的)balls are famous for the amazing heights they can reach bounce after bounce.
The Super Ball was invented in 1964 by Norman Stingley，who was a chemist at the Bettis Rubber Company.He finally sold his invention to a toy manufacturer Wham-O.Wham-O helped him to perfect his invention into the famous toy we know today.
The Super Ball is a rubber ball known for its high bounce and restitution(恢复原状)．How high？You might be surprised！When dropped from the shoulder level，a Super Ball will bounce back almost all the way to where it was dropped.Thrown towards the ground by an average adult，a Super Ball can bounce as high as a three-story building.
Wham-O once created a large Super Ball，whose size was the same as a bowling ball.It was dropped from the top of an Australian hotel and destroyed a parked car on its second bounce!
In the 1960s，the Super Ball quickly became a fashionable toy.By the end of 1965，Wham-O had sold over six million of the bouncy balls.Finally，miniature versions(微型版)of the bouncy balls could be made as small as a dime in toy vending machines.
The Super Ball also can claim(宣称)to be the inspiration for the name of one of the most popular sporting events in the world.Lamar Hunt，who founded the American Football League，jokingly suggested that each year's football championship(冠军)be called the“Super Bowl”after watching his kids play with a Super Ball.It may have just been a joke，but sports writers quickly picked up on the name!
6．The Super Ball interests us very much probably because ________.
A．it can bounce repeatedly(反复地)very high
B．it can be made at home
C．it has an attractive appearance
D．it has a history of hundreds of years
7．Wham-O thought that Norman Stingley's invention
________.
A．was nothing but a toy for children
B．could probably bring him interests
C．was worth a large amount of money
D．has a scientific meaning
8．The author shows a Super Ball's great power of bounce by ________.
A．giving some practical examples
B．throwing it towards the ground
C．offering some exact numbers
D．comparing the differences
9．What probably happened in the early 1960s?
A．The Super Ball was worth only a dime.
B．The Super Ball destroyed cars sometimes.
C．The Super Ball became smaller and smaller.
D．The Super Ball was popular among people.
10．We can learn from the last paragraph that the“Super Bowl”is concerned with ________.
A．an activity that kids like best
B．a bowl used to have dinner
C．a sporting event
D．an interesting story
