二、阅读理解
A
One of the most important ways to learn and master the English language is to read, read, and read. It is said that a good reader is also a good writer and a good speaker. However, in today’s world, reading is something that most children dislike doing.
There are simply so many distractions that books, magazines, and newspapers are often ignored and they are in favor of video games and movies. And while video games and movies also play a role in helping the child learn the English language, they still can’t quite compare to reading.
And as a result, kids are learning less and less. Take a look at an elementary level textbook. You’ll notice that the books for elementary students are filled with pictures and colors. Those pictures and colors in the elementary level textbooks aren’t there just for the sake(缘由)of design. Colors and pictures make us more engaged in the act of learning grammar. They catch our attention and help us retain(保留)more of what we read. This is especially true for little children who enjoy fun English.
Children are quite easily distracted. When you ask them to sit down and read quietly, their minds will often wander and it won’t take long before you find them doodling(涂鸦)and not doing what you told them to do. But if a book is colorful enough to catch a kid’s attention, then you’ll have a better chance at getting the kid to sit down long enough to learn English.
The same principle holds true for interactivity(互动). Like colors and pictures, interactive reading materials like English songs for kids also get the child engaged in what he or she is learning. Interactive reading materials get the child to focus since using them is almost like playing.
11．Which may be the reason why children don’t like reading
A．They prefer newspapers. B．They prefer films.
C．They prefer magazines. D．They prefer books.
12．Children will be interested in books that are________.
A．full of pictures B．explained clearly C．written clearly D．easy
13．What can colorful books help the children do
A．Do what they prefer. B．Have a good time.
C．Fix their attention for a longer time. D．Sit still and quietly.
14．What’s the main idea of this passage
A．Reading is one of the most important ways in learning language.
B．All the books are full of pictures and colors.
C．Interactivity and colorful designs are important to learn English.
D．Interactive reading is very interesting for children.
B
When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation （住所）. I suggested that they should stay at “ bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
“ We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses,’’ they said, “ because we found that most families were away on holiday. “
I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “ VACANCIES” meant “ holidays” , because the Spanish word for “ holidays” is “ vacaciones” . So they did not go to the house where the sign outside said “ VACANCIES” ，which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to the house where the sign said “ NO VACANCIES” , because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “ DⅣERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “ DⅣERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said “ Thank you” in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that “ Thank you” in French means “ No, thank you” .
15．My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.
A．driving their car on English roads
B．going to England by car
C．finding places to stay in England
D．learning English
16．I suggested that they stay at “ bed and breakfast’‘ houses because ______.
A．it would he much cheaper than staying in hotels
B．it would be convenient for them to have dinner
C．they would he able to practice their English
D．there would be no problem in finding accommodation there
17．“ NO VACANCIES” in English means______.
A．free rooms B．no free rooms
C．not away on holiday D．holidays
18．When someone offered me more coffee and I said “ Thank you” in French, I ______.
A．wanted him/her to take the coffee pot away
B．didn’t really want any more coffee
C．wanted to express my politeness
D．really wanted some more coffee
三、七选五
Public speaking is the act of speaking to a large group of people in a highly organized manner. 19 The ability to speak confidently in public not only will make you stand out while in college, but also will enable you to play an active role in your workplace in the future.

Besides, in order to bring emotional responses in the audience, various kinds of rhetorical devices(修辞手法)are often employed to add power to the speech language.
To successfully deliver a speech, you need to do a lot of work as well. 23 Maybe you also need to prepare some visual(视觉的)aids such as PowerPoint to help your audience understand you well.
A．Some people think that public speaking can be trained.
B．Knowing the art of public speaking is very important.
