三、阅读理解。
Today, millions of people want to improve their English but it is difficult to find the best way. Is it better to study in England or America or to study in your own country
The advantages of going to England seem clear. Firstly, you will be able to listen to English all the time. Another advantage is that you have to speak English if you are with other people. In France, however, it is always possible, in class, to speak French if you want to and the learning is slower.
On the other hand, there are also advantages of staying at home to study. You don’t have to make big changes to your life. It is also a lot cheaper than going to England but it is never possible to get the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher in France, I think you can also learn English well without going to England.
If you have enough money and time, the best choice (选择) is to spend some time in the UK. This is not possible for most people, so being here in France is the only choice. The most important thing is to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.
1. What is the article about
A. How many people learn English.
B. The best way to learn English.
C. English schools in France.
D. Trying to learn English in France.
2. What is one of the advantages of going to the UK to learn English
A. There are no Frenchmen in England.
B. You have to talk to others in English.
C. The language schools are better.
D. The teaching skills are better.
3. If you don’t have a lot of money or time, you should ________.
A. learn English in England
B. go to France to learn English
C. try to speak as much English as possible
D. ask English teachers for help
4. The writer of the passage may come from _______.

参考答案与解析
一、单项选择。
1. A
【解析】trousers“裤子”, 本身是复数, 但用a pair of修饰时, 谓语动词单复数看pair的形式。前句中pair是单数, 故系动词用is。时间、路程、金钱作主语看成是一个整体, 即单数。故选A。
2. B
【解析】句意为“蒂娜在学校忙着学习, 但她每天都不会忘记给妈妈打电话”。be busy doing sth. “忙于做某事”，forget to do sth. “忘记去做某事”，forget doing sth. “忘记做过某事”。根据句意可知选B。
3. C
【解析】too much修饰不可数名词；much too修饰形容词，根据sugar可知第一空需用too much；根据bad可知第二空应用much too。
4. A
【解析】第一空前面有助动词does, 后接动词原形weigh, 第二空前面是形容词性物主代词Its, 后接名词weight。故选A。
5. D

6. D
【解析】句意为“—萨姆，不要忘记明天把书还给图书馆。—好的，我不会忘记的”。由答语中“I won’t”可知书还没有还，所以用固定结构forget to do sth. “忘记去做某事”。故选D。
7. D
【解析】句意：—你最好按时交作业，否则老师会生气的。—好的，我会的。handing动名词或现在分词；handed过去式或过去分词；to hand动词不定式；hand动词原形。情态动词词组had better后面必须跟动词原形，构成had better do sth.句型。故此空应填hand，故选D。
8. B
【解析】句意：我们将在这个月末动身去上海。at the end of …意为“在……末尾；在……尽头”，为固定搭配。故选B。
9. C
【解析】句意为：我的鞋子太旧了，这周日我会买双新的。鞋子是复数，不能用one。根据空前的a new可知pair用单数。
10. C
【解析】Are you决定了句子是现在进行时态。动词用ing形式，排除A和D。prepare for为……准备，get for……买得、为……获得。由句意可知选C。
二、补全对话。
【解析】在对话中，凯特和鲍勃两人谈论了暑期计划，鲍勃打算继续上中文课，鲍勃计划明年夏天去非洲。
1. E 根据凯特的问候“How is it going ”可知“I’m OK.”符合句意，故选E。
2. D 根据上文“How was the course ”询问课程，结合下文鲍勃的回答“Yes. It seemed that way at first. But after a while it became easier.”可知凯特问的是汉语难不难，备选句子“Is Chinese very difficult ”符合句意，故选D。
3. B 根据上文“Well, could you tell me your summer plan ”，结合下文凯特的回答“No, not this summer.”可知，鲍勃问她暑假会去旅行吗，备选句子“Will you travel somewhere interesting ”符合句意，故选B。
4. A but但是，表转折；根据上文“No, not this summer.”可知“But I plan to go to Africa next summer.”符合句意，故选A。
5. F 根据鲍勃的请求“Can I go with you ”可知“No problem.”表示同意，符合句意，故选F。
三、阅读理解。
1. B 细节理解题。根据第一段“Today, millions of people want to improve their English but it is difficult to find the best way. Is it better to study in England or America or to study in your own country ”可知本文话题是要告诉我们学习英语最好的方法，所以答案选B。
2. B 细节理解题。根据第二段“The advantages (优势) of going to England seem clear. Firstly, you will be able to listen to English all the time. Another advantage is that you have to speak English if you are with other people. In France, however, it is always possible, in class, to speak French if you want to and the learning is slower.”可知去英国的好处似乎很清楚。首先,你可以一直听英语。另一个好处是，如果你和别人在一起，你必须说英语。所以答案选B。
3. C 细节理解题。根据最后一段“If you have enough money and time, the best choice (选择) is to spend some time in the UK. This is not possible for most people, so being here in France is the only choice. The most important thing is to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class.”可知如果你有足够的钱和时间，最好的选择是在英国呆上一段时间。如果没有钱的话，就去尽可能地多去说英语，所以答案选C。
4. A 细节理解题。根据第二段“The advantages (优势) of going to England seem clear. Firstly, you will be able to listen to English all the time. Another advantage is that you have to speak English if you are with other people.

At the end of my first year of high school, I realised I needed to find a summer job. I was tired of having to ask my parents for 1 .

The only job I managed to find was cleaning up tables at a local restaurant.
At first, the idea of clearing tables upset me. The thought of getting up at dawn (黎明) to go to clean up after people made me 3 ever asking for a job. The first day was terribly busy.

People of my age or ten years older all sat together and talked about their days. All of a sudden I was a part of that, and it felt good to be so 6 .
I’ve now worked at the restaurant for almost one year. I’ve learned to be happy about getting up so early, because I know there are going to be a few good 7 every day there.
From starting there as a shy student, I’ve been able to grow into a person that can go up and 8 anyone, at work or anywhere else. I’m also not as sensitive (敏感的) as I used to be—getting an impolite customer might make me feel bad, 9 very soon I can laugh it off with my co-workers.
