China is having such a huge influence on the United States that many Americans are struggling to learn the Chinese language in a bid to keep competitive.
“Interest in learning Chinese among American youth and their parents has grown quickly in the past five years，” said Vivien Stewart, vice president at the Asia Society. China's quick rise to near-superpower and its effects politically, economically and culturally are driving the American's interest to learn the language, experts say. From kindergartens to high schools, studies by the Asia Society show, there is a “rapid rise” in interest among pupils to study the Chinese language.
“The Chinese rich cultural traditions and blossoming economy mean that it is now important for all of our students to be better prepared，” said Michael Levine, Asia Society's executive director of education. A survey found that 2，400 high schools—an unbelievably high number—would be interested in offering the Advanced Placement (AP) courses in Chinese language and culture when the courses become available in 2016.
China, the world's most popular nation, is important to the United States because it is a leading trader, consumer and investor. Its political influence is also rising across the world. It has replaced the United States as the world's largest consumer and could become the second largest economy in the world, after the United States, in the next two to three decades.
Even though the US State Department has described the Chinese language “critical” to national prosperity and security, “the current facilities to support recruitment(招募) of students and teachers as well as the growth of high quality programmes is terribly not enough，” an Asia Society study says. The Society has set an aim of having at least five per cent of American high school students learning Chinese by 2015.
“Millions of Chinese are learning English, but only 24，000 Americans are learning Chinese，” said Andrew Corcoran of the San Francisco-based Chinese American International School. The most popular languages after English in US schools at present are Spanish and French while Japanese is the most popular Asian language.
1. The underlined word“blossoming”(Para. 2) means ________.
A．weak B．old C．developing D．developed
2. Why do more and more Americans begin to learn the Chinese language?
A．To be a bridge between the two big countries.
B．To keep competitive.
C．Because they are always interested in it.
D．To gain advantage in trade.
3. What problems is the US faced with when it comes to learning Chinese?
A．A lack in current facilities to support recruitment of students and teachers and programmes.
B．Not many people want to learn foreign languages.
C．The language is rather difficult compared with English.
D．Too many Chinese are learning English.
4. What is the best title for this passage?
A．Foreign language learning
B．Danger from China
C．The Chinese language gets more popular
D．Difficulties in learning the Chinese language
Ⅴ. 语法填空
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution: we stopped talking to one another.
I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cellphone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.
The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now_it_makes_people_sitting_next_to_you_feel_absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mum has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.
As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏远) index goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.
I am not against modern technology. I own a cellphone, an ATM card, a voice mail system, and an e-mail account. Giving them up isn't wise, they're a great help to us. It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.
More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation, or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn't really have time to talk. The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier, or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts.
So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cellphoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home.
1. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A．The advance of communications technology
B．The consequences of modern technology
C．The story of the communications revolution
D．The automation of modern communications
2. The sentence “Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.” means that ________.
A．the people sitting beside you have to go away to receive a phone call
B．you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside you
C．modern technology makes it hard for people to have a face-to-face talk
D．people can now go to work without going to the office
3. The writer feels that the use of modern communications is ________.
A．satisfying B．encouraging
C．disappointing D．worried
4. The passage implies that________.
A．modern technology is bridging people
B．modern technology is separating people
C．modern technology is developing too fast
D．modern technology is interrupting our communications
B
English is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. Immigrants (移民) coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language, which have kept their original pronunciation. “Coolie” and “kowtow” were taken from the Chinese language, “kamikaze” from the Japanese, “shampoo” from India, “blitz” from German, “amigo” and “Los Angeles” from Spanish and so on.
Many students have studied English for years, some as many as eight. However, some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English. Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them. In our oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native English speakers. For this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) English, we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes. Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine(罚款) in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. It is everyone's job to enforce the English-Only rule. It is for your benefit. It is because we want to accustom (使习惯于) your ears to hearing English.
Other subjects may be learned only from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT! Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun, so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out. Enjoy your classes.
5. The first paragraph is mainly about________.
A．the difficulty of learning English
B．different words in different languages
C．how interesting and various English is
D．the immigrants' contributions to America
6. The underlined word “discern” in Para. 2 can be replaced by________.
A．notice B．understand
C．hear D．speak
7. In the author's opinion, the only way to learn a language well is to________.
A．listen to it on the radio
B．learn it from books
C．play games with it
D．speak it often
8. The article is probably aimed at________.
A．Japanese students B．German students
C．Chinese students D．Indian students
Ⅲ.书面表达

单元总结提升Unit 2 English around the world
Unit 2 English around the world Unit 2 | English around the world单元话题导入 British English and American English are almost the same. But there are slight differences between British and American English in vocabulary, pronunciation, spelling and grammar.
Unit 2 | English around the world The first difference between British and American English is in vocabulary. Almost all of the words used in British English and American English are exactly the same. Only a very small number of words are used differently. For example, Americans would say “apartment”， but the British would say “flat” to talk about the place where they live. In addition to some common words, many idiomatic (惯用的) expressions are different. In the UK people might say “I'll ring you up tonight”， but in the US, people might say “I'll call you up tonight”．Unit 2 | English around the world The second difference between British and American English is in pronunciation. The main difference in pronunciation concerns the vowels (元音). Some American dialects and some British dialects use vowels in different ways. Sometimes, Americans and the British don't understand each other's pronunciation. But most of the time, the British and Americans do understand each other's pronunciation because most of the sounds of the two dialects are the same.Unit 2 | English around the world The third difference is very small. This is the difference in spelling. A few types of words are spelled differently in British and American English. The most common example is in a word like “centre”. In British English, this word would be spelled C-E-N-T-R-E, while in American English the same word would be spelled C-E-N-T-E-R. Another example is “or” vs “our”. The word “colour” is spelled C-O-L-O-U-R in Britain but C-O-L-O-R in the US.Unit 2 | English around the world There are a few differences in grammar, too. The British may say “Have you got…？” while Americans prefer “Do you have…？”. An American might say “my friend just arrived”， but a British would say “my friend has just arrived”. Sometimes fun_ction words are used differently: the British may say “at the weekend”， but Americans would say “on the weekend”．Unit 2 | English around the worldTask: Choose the best answer according to the passage.

Shakespeare handled high drama, romance and slapstick comedy with equal ease, and so famous are his words that his quotes (箴言), from “To be or not to be” to “Parting is such sweet sorrow，” take up more than 70 pages in the latest editions of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations. 单元总结提升 │ 拓展延伸阅读His works rival the King James Bible (also produced in the 1600s) as a source of oft-quoted (经常被引用的) English phrases. Shakespeare is known as the “Bard of Avon，” a nod to his birthplace, and many of his plays were originally performed in the famous Globe Theatre in London. Among his best-known plays are Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth. He is also known for his poetry, especially his sonnets. So mighty was Shakespeare's output that some scholars insist another, greater mind must have written some or all of his plays. 单元总结提升 │ 拓展延伸阅读(Sir Francis Bacon, Christopher Marlowe and Edward de Vere have all been candidates.) But this theory has never been proved…Shakespeare's precise birthdate is not known; he was baptized (施洗礼) on 26 April 1564, and over time 23 April has become the accepted date of birth, in part because he also died on 23 April in 1616.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A romantic message-in-a-bottle discovered by a mother and daughter at a Scottish beach has sparked (触发) a mystery about whether it could have travelled 5，000 miles across the seas from China.
Nicola MacFarlane, 41, and daughter Lucy, four, from Portobello, near Edinburgh, were looking for driftwood(浮木) on Portobello Beach when they came across an old glass bottle containing a note inside written in Mandarin. Now the family are trying to work out if the letter has managed the extraordinary journey across the Philippine Sea, into the Indian Ocean and through both the South Atlantic and the North Atlantic Oceans before washing up on the shores of Great Britain.
It was written on Chinese Valentine's Day or the Qixi Festival as it is more traditionally known, lunar July 7, 2012, so it sent off as recently as six days ago because it followed the modern calendar, which celebrated the occasion on August 23. Nicola was still excited to read about the Chinese love story after having it translated.
“I really do hope that it is from China but even it is from nearer to home, it's still a lovely gesture and an inspiring find. It's a love story regardless of where it came from.” Nicola, who runs a beach art business in Portobello, added: “I'm always at the beach looking for bits of driftwood but I've never come across anything like this before. We knew it was Chinese, but we had no idea what it said.”
Unable to read the Mandarin text, Nicola turned to the Internet and her Australian friend, Julie Gould, whose daughter attended a Chinese school in Sydney.
Several hours later Julie returned with the news that it was in fact a love letter.
The translated letter reads: “Da Hai(Ocean), I hope no-one will get this bottle, as we just wish you can hear our voice, and get your blessing. Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day, we pray that our relationship will last forever and we will have a long happy life together…”
Nicola said: “It sounds to me like the couple are in love but cannot be together so they have sent the message to tell the world of their love.”
1. When did Nicola and her daughter come across the message-in-bottle?
A．On July 15, 2012. B．On August 29, 2012.
C．On August 31, 2012. D．On September 2, 2012.
2. What were Nicola and her daughter probably doing when they found the bottle?
A．They were walking on the beach.
B．They were washing hands and feet.
C．They were looking for the driftwoods.
D．They were lying on the beach resting.
3．The underlined word “Mandarin” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”．
A．Scottish B．British
C．English D．Chinese
4. We can learn from the passage that Nicola________.
A．thinks the letter was written to show love
B．had expected to get something unusual
C．knows a little Chinese
D．found the bottle was from a nearby place

Jack Johnson is one of the most popular singer-songwriters in the world.
Jack was born on May 18, 1975 in Hawaii. Being the son of a famous surfer, Jack usually has an interest in surfing. Most of his life lessons were learned in the water. At the age of 17, Jack entered the finals of the Pipeline Masters—the world's most famous surfing competition. Everyone thought Jack would become a professional surfer like his father. Unluckily, one month later, he had a deadly accident while surfing and was seriously hurt.
Life is like a revolving door. When it closes, it also opens. Jack started to practise playing the guitar and write songs when he was staying in hospital. At first, his father thought Jack only did it for fun, but soon he was surprised at the great progress his son had made.
When studying in the university, Jack didn't stop practising his guitar skills. He played the guitar for school parties. He wrote songs and sang for his teachers and friends. They liked his songs. His first music album Brushfire Fairytales came out in 2001. It was a great success. His second album, On And On, was much like his first. They were filled with sweet, easy-going songs that everybody liked listening to later. Jack had lots of concerts in and out of America. He became popular all over the world.
Jack had five albums by 2010 and more than 15 million copies of them were sold. His music doesn't fit into any of the popular music styles like pop, rocks, R & B or hip hop. It is more like folk music, played with a guitar and beautiful voice. When listening to his songs, you feel like lying on the beach enjoying the warm sunshine.
Jack is a talent, though he himself says he is only a surfer who loves music. In his songs we can find his secret of success. Whatever happens in our lives, we have to accept it and do the best we can.

People in the United States honour their parents with two special days: Mother's Day on the second Sunday in May and Father's Day on the third Sunday in June. These days are to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home and more fathers must help with childcare.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honour parents. It's also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery (grave). On these days families get together at home as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecue for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are more valued than those bought in stores. It's not the value of the gift that is important, but “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakers, phone companies and other stores do lots of business during these holidays.
5. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?
A．Parents bring up children.
B．Parents give love and care to children.
C．Parents educate children to be good persons.
D．Parents pass away before children grow up.
6. What do you know from the passage?
A．Both festivals are in May.
B．Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.
C．Not all the children respect their parents.
D．Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.
7. Which do you know about “carnation”？
A．It only has two kinds of colour.
B．It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother's Day.
C．It's a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.
D．People can wear them only on the second Sunday in May.
8. On Mother's Day and Father's Day ________.
A．people usually have family parties
B．everyone goes to the cemetery
C．children always go to their parents' home
D．handmade cards are the most valuable gifts
C
Donald was shaken by thunder on the bed before he could count “one thousand one”. Then he heard the smoke alarm go off. He went downstairs quickly to investigate. When he opened the door to the basement (地下室), flames exploded out.
Donald fled (逃) back upstairs to call 911 but the phone didn't work. When he tried to go downstairs, he was stopped by a wall of flames. He had to use a towel to cover his mouth. His house was three miles off the main road and so well hidden by trees that Donald knew calling for help would be useless. Actually, he didn't even try to do that.
About one mile away lived Donald's closest neighbour, Jeremie. When he heard some sounds, Jeremie jumped out of bed, holding a phone and a flashlight, and went towards the noise. He dialed 911 the instant he saw the flames. When he came close to the house, Jeremie knew he'd better wait until rescuers came. But he didn't want Donald to die in the fire.
Without hesitation (犹豫), he rushed into the house. He shouted, “Donald, where are you？” Then he had to run outside to catch his breath. After one more attempt (尝试), he gave up and circled around back. He saw Donald on the second-floor balcony, but there was no way to get to him. Suddenly, he noticed a ladder. He dragged it over to the balcony and pulled Donald down just when the second floor fell down.
Within the year, Donald built a new two-story wood house at the site of the fire. Jeremie and Donald don't run into each other regularly, but Donald knows that if he ever needs help, Jeremie will be there.
9. What was Donald doing when he heard thunder?
A．He was going to sleep on the bed.
B．He was ready to count numbers.
C．He was going downstairs.
D．He was in the basement.
10. Donald didn't call for help mainly because________.
A．his mobile didn't work
B．he could put out the fire himself
C．his house was far from the main road
D．the flames made him too weak to shout
11. From the text, we can infer that________.
A．it was the firemen who saved Donald that night
B．Jeremie helped Donald build a new wood house
C．Donald had fallen off the second floor before Jeremie found him
D．whatever difficulties Donald meets, Jeremie will help him

Ⅴ.One possible version：
Dear_Puzzled，
Thank_you_for_your_letter._You_asked_me_about_how_to_improve_your_listening_and_spoken_English._Here_are_some_tips_for_you.
Firstly, you should be active in English classes so that you'll have more chances to practise your spoken English. Secondly, reading English texts aloud every day is of great help. Thirdly, you'd better listen to English tapes more. It is also a good idea to watch some English programmes.
Personally, I like singing English songs and seeing English films. I even try to talk with native speakers if possible. I think all these can help our listening and speaking a lot.
Best wishes!
Yours，
Li_Hua
