Ⅰ.阅读理解
__A__体裁：记叙文__主题语境：学校生活__难度：★★★☆☆
When I first moved to China in 1998, I thought I would impress my class by using some Chinese in my speech about American weddings (婚礼). I told them everyone brings a gift to the wedding for the couple. As soon as I said this, all of the students looked surprised. I knew I had said something wrong. I realized that instead of telling them that everybody brings gifts to the hun li for the couple, I had said people bring gifts for them at the li hun!
I get laughs from some of my students because I often make mistakes and my Chinese sounds strange at times. But I tell them that sometimes their English is really strange too.
One asks, “What are you like to do in your free time？” And the other answers, “I very like basketball.” I find that even good English speakers make such mistakes. The second is by far the most common mistake I have heard among Chinese English speakers. It is a result of first thinking in Chinese and then translating each word in the sentence into English. This, of course, makes some Chinese people's English sound strange.
“We should get off the car here，” a student told me. My school had asked two students to show me around the city by taxi. In English countries, we “get off” a bike, bus, or train. However, when we leave a car, we say “get out of the car”. Perhaps the student had learned “get off” means xia in Chinese and he thought the phrase (短语) could be followed by any means of transportation. To avoid such mistakes, you should take collocations (搭配) seriously. Only learning vocabulary and grammar is not enough.
Some of my students sound more like a book or machine than a human. Perhaps they have gotten used to depending on books. You can also read English books out loud or use a CD, but you need the real thing. If you have a chance to hear a native speaker from an English speaking country, practice repeating what you hear. They can teach you how to have a conversation.
1．Why did the students feel surprised
A.American weddings are difficult to organize.
B．The author's Chinese was as fluent as Chinese.
C．The author used a completely wrong Chinese word.
D．Everyone must bring a gift to an American wedding.
2．What can cause strange English in China according to the author
A．Spelling mistakes.
B．Direct translation.
C．Cultural difference.
D．Wrong pronunciations.
3．What can we infer about the student who said “We should...here”？
A．He might be poor at vocabulary.
B．He might mistake “car” for “taxi”．
C．He might know very little about the city.
D．He might pay little attention to collocations.
4．What does the author want to share in the last paragraph
A．Common mistakes made by Chinese English learners.
B．Differences between Chinese and American culture.
C．Suggestions on improving conversational skills.
D．His experience of learning English.
B__体裁：说明文__主题语境：语言学习__难度：★★★★☆
English is full of funny expressions that don't always make sense. Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word, you may not understand the idiom because you don't understand the culture behind it. Here are some English idioms based on animals.
When children jump around and act silly, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”. To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.
Many American families have and love pet dogs. But for some unknown reason, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are “as sick as a dog”， you're really, really sick.
Sometimes you may also hear cats mentioned in conversations, “I told you to keep that secret, but you have just ‘let the cat out of the bag’！ ” You probably guessed it—that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.
Dogs and cats don't always get along, but they appear side by side in a commonly used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it's “raining cats and dogs”．
Heavy rain often ruins people's plans for outdoor activities. But on a lovely day, you can have a picnic. If a swarm (一群) of tiny bugs love your food and start to hover (盘旋) around you, it would be really annoying. That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”．
Idioms are very common in both spoken and written English. If you want to have a better understanding of English, you have to learn idioms.
5．According to Paragraph 1, which is right about idioms
A．Expressions which are based on animals.
B．Expressions with rich cultural background.
C．Expressions that always make sense.
D．Expressions which are easy to understand.
6．What can “monkeying around” be used to describe
A．Children jump around and waste time.
B．Children do something useful and serious.
C．Children play with monkeys with their parents.
D．Children spend time playing with their family pets.
7．What can be learned from the text
A．Dogs and cats always get along nicely.
B．Bugs can be used to show your annoyance.
C．Americans believe cats can give away secrets.
D．Americans use the idiom “as sick as a dog” to describe a healthy man.
8．How does the text mainly develop
A．By sharing experiences.
B．By making comparisons.
C．By giving examples.
D．By listing figures.

体裁：说明文__主题语境：语言学习__难度：★★★☆☆
People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many things to take into consideration (考虑). Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant in terms of learning a second language.
A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese (葡萄牙语) much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so a first language can affect learning a second language. The greater the differences between a second language and our first language, the harder it will be for most people to learn a second language. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn, possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system, and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet (字母).
Some people seem to learn languages easily, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the circumstances (环境) in which the language is learned also play an important role, as well as each learner's purpose for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it in work, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.
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．What does the underlined word “relevant” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Difficult. B．Meaningful.
C．Necessary. D．Possible.
2．The example of Portuguese and Chinese is used to prove that________.
A．Chinese is harder to learn than Portuguese
B．Portuguese and Chinese are very different
C．Portuguese is very easy for foreigners to learn
D．a first language can affect learning a second language
3．Why do many people think Chinese is hard to learn
A．Its writing system is strange.
B．Its pronunciation is challengeable.
C．Its characters are difficult to understand.
D．It has great differences from many other languages.
4．What can we learn from the text
A．People will learn a language faster if they use it daily.
B．There are many languages that are the most difficult in the world.
C．All the languages can be easy to learn with good teachers and circumstances.
D．The writing system of a language is more difficult to master than its pronunciation.

The year was 1955, and the Wappen von Hamburg had just started its life, transporting tourists from Hamburg, Germany to the island of Helgoland in the North Sea. So, how did that ship end up, sixty years later, on a river near Stockton, California
“I was actually surfing (冲浪) the Internet one day and this thing popped up，” said Chris Willson, the present owner of the ship：“And it awakened my curiosity.”
A software developer, Willson at first just wanted to make some videos of the inside of the ship and do a virtual (虚拟的) tour of the ship, not to buy the ship. But something about the boat interested Willson so much that he ended up paying around $800，000 for it, making him the owner of a piece of maritime (海事的) history. And, also, a lot of waste.“It was full of waste，” he said. “Every single room—household waste, cups, cans.”
Willson renamed the boat Aurora. When he sprang the news of his buying the ship on his girlfriend, Jin Li, she said she didn't have the courage to look inside the ship：“It was a disaster. You don't know what's going to be behind a door or in a room.”
But together, slowly, they got to restore (修复) the ship, with some parts, now looking good.
Aurora is one of the only remaining midcentury ships. The rest either sank (沉没) or were turned into new forms of existence. Maritime historian and collector Peter Knego said of Aurora, “You look at her. She's a beautiful creation. And she's so lucky to still be around. Every ship of her generation is pretty much gone.”
Thanks to a volunteer team and, now, a popular YouTube channel, Willson's hope is to turn the ship into a hotel, or maybe even a museum.
“Now I feel the boat is bringing a lot of people together. It brought me and Chris even closer together, and is attracting local people and people from social media，” Li said. “And I think, maybe, it isn't a bad idea that a small guy has a big dream.”
1．Why did Willson decide to buy the ship
A．He wanted to give his girlfriend a surprise.
B．He considered trading it for a higher price.
C．He was attracted by something about it.
D．He planned to make a movie about it.
2．What was Li's first impression of the ship
A．It had a special name.
B．It was in a poor condition.
C．It was hardly worth repairing.
D．It would bring in a lot of money.
3．What does paragraph 6 mainly tell us about the ship
A．Its unique design.
B．Its historical value.
C．Its changes over the years.
D．Its popularity among collectors.
4．What did Li say about the ship
A．It has a lot of visitors every day.
B．It will have a completely new look.
C．It has closely connected many people.
D．It gives people a chance to achieve their dreams.

[2023·河北省邯郸市高一上学期期中]
Do you know that every fourteen days one of the world's 7，000 languages dies out Throughout human history, languages have died out because of natural disasters, war or genocide (种族灭绝), but nowadays the major factor is globalization. This is happening all over the world. In the Amazon rainforest, for example, native people are learning Portuguese to move to the big cities in Brazil to find work. In South Africa, young people are choosing to use English instead of traditional languages to study in higher education.
About 60% of the world's population speak one of the twenty most common languages, and the number of speakers of world languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese is increasing rapidly. Would we really miss most small languages if they died out completely The answer has got to be “yes”！
When a language disappears, we lose the culture and history of a people. We also lose the knowledge of the people who speak the language. In a famous case in northern Australia, doctors couldn't find a cure (疗法) for a skin problem that the local people developed. When they asked a native woman, she used her own language to describe a plant which could cure the disease. There are many other examples of why disappearing languages are important. Speakers of the Kallawaya language in Bolivia have got a wide vocabulary of medicinal plants in their part of the rainforest which doctors in the modern world have never heard of, and speakers of the Yupik language of Alaska have got ninety nine words for ice, which shows that they've got a unique understanding of their world. Our planet would lose that understanding if these languages disappeared.
But we don't have to lose as many languages as some people think. Using modern technology can save small languages, and we mustn't lose the culture, history and knowledge that these languages contain (包含).
1．What is the main reason for the disappearance of language
A．Natural disasters.
B．Continuous wars.
C．Extinction of a race.
D．The process of globalization.
2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A．A loss of understanding small languages.
B．The importance of disappearing languages.
C．A description of a plant to cure a skin disease.
D.The knowledge of the culture and history of a race.
3．What is the author's attitude to saving disappearing languages
A．Worried. B．Unconcerned.
C．Positive. D．Doubtful.
4．What is the text mainly talking about
A．Disappearing languages.
B．Increasing natural disasters.
C．Leading languages of the world.
D．Working people's language choice.

3．答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句可知，作者认为这个学生之所以那么说是因为在平常学习时没有注意词语的搭配。
4．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，作者给想要提高会话技能的英语学习者提供了建议——要多向来自说英语的国家的人学习。
B
【语篇解读】 文章介绍了英语习语的特点并列举了一些与动物相关的习语。
5．答案与解析：B 细节理解题。根据第一段可知， 即使你知道每个单词的意思， 你也可能不理解这个习语， 因为你不了解它背后的文化。故选B。

7．答案与解析：B 推理判断题。根据第六段可知， 如果一群小虫子喜欢你的食物， 在你身边盘旋， 那会很烦人。那种经历很好地解释了为什么人们经常对一直打扰他们的人说“stop bugging me”。由此可推知， 我们可以用与虫子(bug)有关的习语来表达恼怒。
8．答案与解析：C 推理判断题。通读全文可知， 文章第一段说明了英语习语的特点， 第二至六段列举了五个与动物相关的英语习语并进行了语意的探究， 由此推知， 本文是以举例子的方式展开的。

层级二 主题阅读训练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
【语篇解读】 本文指出，世上没有最难的语言，只有相对难的语言。语言的难易与否取决于其与母语的差异程度。
1．答案与解析：B 词义猜测题。文章第一句提到哪种语言是最难学的这个问题很难回答，因为它牵扯到很多方面。首先，人们生来就学会了母语(即母语对自己来说不难学)，也就是说对于母语来说，这个问题是毫无意义的，那么下文很自然地就会提到这个问题在什么情况下是“有意义”的，也就是在学习第二语言的时候才会有难易之分。
2．答案与解析：D 细节理解题。文章第二段首先以葡萄牙语和汉语为例来说明，再得出结论“so a first language can affect learning a second language.”可知，举这个例子是为了证明母语能够影响第二语言的学习。
3．答案与解析：D 推理判断题。文章第二段提到很多人认为汉语难学，其实是觉得汉语的写法和发音难学，但日本人学起来要比使用罗马字母的人容易得多，因为日语当中本身就有很多汉字。文章在最后一段又提到，和母语联系紧密的外语学起来要容易得多，再学习一门有着完全不同写法的语言要难得多。由此可知，许多人认为汉语难学是因为它和其他语言有很大的不同。
4．答案与解析：A 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“If people learn a language because they need to use it in work, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.”可知，如果人们学习一门语言是出于工作需要，那么他们要比那些不会在日常生活中使用到该语言的人学得快，言外之意就是说，如果每天都能用到该门外语的话，那学起来就会快得多。
Ⅱ.完形填空
【语篇解读】 文章主要记叙了校车司机在一个寒冷的冬天的早晨， 看到一个男孩没有手套和帽子， 手和耳朵冻得通红， 他先是把自己的手套给了男孩， 然后把学生送到学校后， 去商店买了十套手套和帽子， 开始分发给需要的学生。
1．答案与解析：B 根据后文“to school”可知伦斯福德是在去学校的路上看到了一个哭泣的孩子。
2．答案与解析：B 根据后文“because of the bitter cold”可知， 因为严寒， 男孩的手和耳朵都被完全冻红了。
3．答案与解析：A 结合后文“buy ten sets of gloves and hats” 伦斯福德买了手套和帽子， 可推测他是把自己的手套给了这个孩子。
4．答案与解析：D 上文提到孩子被冻得耳朵和手发红， 可知是遭受痛苦。
5．答案与解析：C 根据前后文“His heart________because of the poor child”可知， 伦斯福德为那个可怜的孩子感到心痛。
6．答案与解析：B 根据后文“winter was still lying ahead”可知冬天应该是寒冷， 所以是指冬天最寒冷的时候还没到来。
7．答案与解析：D 根据后文“the kids off at school”可知是指把孩子送到学校， 短语drop sb. off“让某人下车”。
8．答案与解析：B 根据后文“to buy ten sets of gloves and hats”可知是去商店买手套和帽子。
9．答案与解析：B 根据后文“and determined to find the boy. A school worker...”可知伦斯福德买了东西又回到学校， 想找到刚才的那个男孩。
10．答案与解析：D 根据后文“Lunceford to the library, where the boy was studying with his class”可知一位学校工作人员领着伦斯福德去图书馆。
11．答案与解析：C 根据后文“the boy with a new pair of gloves and a hat”可知伦斯福德与男孩并不认识， 却来给他送手套和帽子， 所以这个男孩觉得惊讶。
12．答案与解析：A 根据后文“Many other students would receive the...”可知还有其他的学生得到了帮助， 男孩只是个开始。
13．答案与解析：C 伦斯福德给学生送帽子和手套， 是一种善举。
14．答案与解析：B 根据前后文“One little girl ________ said she didn't have a hat. ”可知女孩立即说自己没有帽子。

2．答案与解析：B 理解具体信息。根据第三段中Willson所说的It was full of waste和Every single room—household waste, cups, cans及第四段中的When he sprang the news...Jin Li, she said she didn't have the courage to look inside the ship：“It was a disaster. You don't know what's going to be behind a door or in a room.”可知，Li看到这艘船里很杂乱，到处都是垃圾，简直目不忍睹。spring在此作动词，意为“突然说”。
3．答案与解析：B 理解主旨要义。根据第六段中的Aurora is one of the only remaining midcentury ships及海事历史学家Peter Knego所说的You look at her. She's a beautiful creation. And she's so lucky to still be around. Every ship of her generation is pretty much gone可知，本段主要讲述该艘船的历史价值。
4．答案与解析：C 理解具体信息。根据最后一段中Li所说的Now I feel the boat is bringing a lot of people together. It brought me and Chris even closer together, and is attracting local people and people from social media可知，Li觉得这艘船拉近了许多人之间的距离，增进了大家之间的关系，包括她和男朋友Chris，当地人及社交媒体上的人们。
