二、阅读理解
A
As a young adult, Noah Webster was a teacher. At that time, the colonies were fighting for independence from Britain, yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examples — a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold.
Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word “head” should be spelled “hed”, and the word “laugh” should be spelled “laf ”. People liked Webster’s suggestions.
However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “labor”, while the British write “colour” and “labour”.
With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to write. It was the first American English dictionary, published in 1828. Webster’s dictionary had over 70,000 words and gave the meaning and origin of each. To this day, Webster’s work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow.
16．What was Noah Webster when he was young
A．A writer. B．A teacher. C．A painter. D．A reporter.
17．Why did Webster decide to write books
A．Because he wanted to earn more money.
B．Because he wasn’t satisfied with the books he used.

D．Because he had to borrow books from Britain when he was a student.
18．What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A．Webster spoke English in a different way.
B．American people didn’t like speaking English.
C．Webster was good at correcting mistakes in textbooks.
D．Americans didn’t write English as exactly as the British did.
19．What does the last sentence of this article mean
A．Most dictionaries in the world are the copies of Webster’s.
B．Most American people followed Webster’s advice on writing.
C．Webster’s dictionary is the only one used in the United States.

B
When I came to China, my supply of Chinese friends who were willing to hear me talk about school(one of the few topics I could hold more than a two-minute conversation about) was fairly limited. So how did I practise my spoken Chinese
In my effort to be a good student, I decided to talk to every single taxi driver in Beijing. Taxi drivers were easy targets. They couldn’t tell me to shut up and they had nowhere to hide from my horrible grammar.
To my surprise, taxi drivers became my favorite Chinese teachers because most of the time they were happy to talk to me about anything. Also, their most loved topics of conversation tended to fall into three simple categories (种类): food, their hometown, and the foreigners’ countries. My ability to reach this level of conversational skill has been made possible by one question—“Are you a Beijinger ” and taxi drivers loved talking about their hometown.
I found that 15 minutes with a Beijing taxi driver was worth one hour with my Chinese tutor because they couldn’t speak English so there’s no second language to fall back on when things got too tough. It’s just me and my Chinese skills that would help. I was constantly surprised by how much I understood in comparison to my Chinese language level. And even if they kept talking for the whole trip, at least I was honing my listening skills. Over time, I found I could understand more and more, and was able to respond surprisingly quickly.
Another trick: If I wanted to impress, I would add an extra “r” to end my words. It always seemed to cheer them up, and usually I would get an encouraging “Your Beijing dialect is so good!”
20．What was an advantage for the author to talk to taxi drivers in Beijing
A．They were very knowledgeable.
B．They were cheaper than teachers.
C．They had to put up with his grammar.
D．They were more willing to help.
21．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “honing” in paragraph 4
A．Improving. B．Showing. C．Missing. D．Exchanging.
22．Why did the author add an extra “r” to end his words
A．He hoped to practise his Beijing dialect.
B．He wanted to make fun of the drivers’ accent.
C．He mainly aimed to cover up his poor Chinese.
D．He wanted to make a good impression on the drivers.
23．What is the text mainly about
A．The challenges of learning Chinese.
B．The talkative taxi drivers in Beijing.
C．The difficulty of living in a foreign country.
D．The experience of practicing spoken Chinese.

I’m writing to tell you a piece of good news! Last week our school held the second monthly test. To my delight, I made great progress in English. In my view, it is your help that has greatly increased my confidence in learning English. Thanks for your generosity of your time, you have spent so much time helping me with my English. I’m really grateful for your help. I have great interest in English study now, and I’ve made up my mind to make more efforts and try to make greater progress.
Best wishes! Yours,
Li Hua
