When you are learning a language, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful. When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to use them. Here are some good reading tips.
Firstly, try to read at the right level. Read something that you can understand. If it is too hard for you, it is not interesting.
Secondly, try to understand the new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, don’t use a dictionary. Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read. Mark them with a pencil. Then look them up in a dictionary when you finish reading, and write them in your own vocabulary book. Try to remember them.
Thirdly, try to read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes or half an hour every day is better than two hours every Sunday. For example, you can read before you go to bed, or after you get up or at lunchtime.
Lastly, read something that interests you. Choose a newspaper, a book or a magazine about a subject that you like. It will be easy enough for you to understand.

Can family be your secret to language learning success
If you want to get into language learning but haven’t managed it on your own yet, learning with your family might be just the extra motivation (动力) you need and one of the most effective and easiest ways.
Why do we learn language as a family
Learning a language as a family can help add motivation. If your family is competitive, the desire to be the best might make you study even harder than you learn alone.
Learning as a family gives you built-in conversation partners. Practice is important when learning a language, but you can’t always have a native-level language exchange partner at the ready. However, if you have a family full of other language learners, you can work in a little conversation practice whenever you have a moment.
Learning a language as a family is also a fun group activity. Everyone loves a game night or movie night. It’s a fun way to break up the daily routine and reconnect with those you love. Maybe it would be much better to learn a language while spending an interesting night with your family.
How do we start learning a language as a family
Keep it real. If your family loves cooking together, you can start by learning words and phrases for foods and kitchen tasks, and you can make shopping lists in the target (目标) language.
Take notes. Language isn’t just speaking; it’s reading and writing, too. Encourage your family to text each other in your target language. You could also surprise each other with notes on pillows, bathroom mirrors, inside dresser drawers—any place your family will find them.
Game the language. Your family can try playing board or card games that are popular in foreign countries where people speak the target language.
Plan a movie night. Watching movies in the target language can help you get a feel for the language as it’s used by native speakers. You can set the subtitles (字幕) to the target language, so you can see the words you’re hearing as you watch.
Let’s make it a habit to learn a language in our family. Then we could spend our spare time productively and make a great difference.
8．According to the passage, learning a language as a family _________.
A．makes us have less interest in communicating with family members
B．keeps us from talking with native-level language exchange partners
C．helps us remain the family routine as usual through group activities
D．offers us extra opportunities to practice language whenever possible
9．According to the writer’s suggestions, we can _________.
A．have language learning involved into family’s kitchen tasks
B．hide the target language subtitles in a movie while watching
C．surprise the family by painting a picture on a bathroom mirror
D．play popular card games in other countries in our native language
10．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A．To compare different ideas on how to learn a language as a family.
B．To introduce the achievements of learning a language in a family.
C．To explain why learning a language has many benefits for a family.
D．To call on us to make language learning part of a family’s activity.

People at home keep asking me, “Is it hard to learn Chinese Why have you learned it so well ” Well, there’s one thing that makes Chinese easy to learn: there are so many people to talk to. You’ve probably heard that it’s the most spoken language. Today it’s also one of the most written languages online. And with so many Chinese people interested in learning English, it couldn’t be easier to find a friend for language learning. You just have to know where to look for them.
The really good place to look for them is Wechat. Wechat has the same status in China as Facebook does in the US. It is reported that at any moment, up to 900,000,000 people are using Wechat. They’re at work, or in a web cafe, or at home, and the information of the users can be found. If you sign in with your address set to “abroad”, you’ll soon find that many thousands of them are interested in speaking to you! This is a great way for you to learn Chinese, and for them to learn English. I think that it’s a very interesting way of cultural contact too, for ordinary people from around the world to be able to have one-on-one contact.
11．What does the write tell us in paragraph 1
A．Why his family members want to learn Chinese.
B．How the writer learnt Chinese.

I’m Julia, a student from China. I wanted to study English for two weeks in the summer vacation, so I chose a language school in the UK.
It was a wonderful experience! The school was beautiful and the teachers were very nice and friendly. When I studied in the school, I stayed with an English family. The family didn’t speak Chinese, so I had to try hard to talk with them in English. But it was the best way to practise my English. They lived in a beautiful house, only 15 minutes away from the school by underground. I loved staying with them, because they were very friendly and they had two daughters who were at my age: Jane and Melissa. Every morning, after breakfast, we took the underground to school.
Lessons started at 9:00 a m. and finished at 1:00 p. m. I was free almost the whole afternoon so I had lots of time to read English books after school. In the evening, I never went out. I liked watching TV for some time, and then went to bed early. On the weekend, Jane and Melissa took me to watch some sports games and visit some places of interest by tour bus.
My English got much better. I even told them traditional Chinese stories in English and helped make them interested in Chinese culture. I also made a lot of new friends. This was a great summer vacation.
15．Where did Julia stay in the UK
A．In the language school. B．On the tour bus.
C．In the teacher’s office. D．At an English family’s home.

A．Reading English books after school. B．Talking with the family in English.

LisaI prefer to use learning apps to help the students do more practice. They are always efficient（高效的）. They help me save time and energy. I can know who is not good at something in a short time by checking the students’ information on the apps. Therefore, I can explain the key points and difficult points to them in time. It is convenient. FrankI can finish my homework faster on a learning app. I can know which is right or wrong without waiting for the next day’s corrections（校正）by the teacher. Besides, I can enjoy the lively videos on the apps. They are more interesting than the pictures on the textbooks.
Learning apps, which are developed for students in different levels, have made a hit these years.The apps are welcomed by some teachers. However, the new way of assigning（布置）homework leads to a heated discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of learning apps.
Paul I’m Frank’s father. I don’t think it’s a good idea to use learning apps. They make Frank’s handwriting and eyesight worse and worse. Spending much time on screens makes it possible to be impatient. Frank also depends much on the auto corrections on the apps. He doesn’t think much before he solves a problem while doing homework at home.
20．Which of the following is TRUE
A．Frank is satisfied with the learning apps.
B．Learning apps are widely used in study.
C．Lisa thinks learning on the apps is a waste of energy.
D．Paul thinks Frank is really patient.
21．What does Paul think of learning apps
A．They are easy to solve homework problems. B．They are helpful for Frank’s handwriting.
C．They are interesting to study in different ways. D．They are not good for Frank’s study and health.
22．What is Lisa according to the passage
A．A teacher. B．A student. C．A nurse. D．A doctor.

Exams cause anxiety(焦虑). The silence of the hall; the sound of the clock; the proud look of the person sitting at the neighboring desk who has finished 15 minutes early. So there is little surprise that those who worry about taking exams do worse than those who do not.
According to a recent research by Maria Theobald, perhaps, it is not the pressure(压力) of the exam hall that causes the problem. It is the pressure of review.
Dr. Theobald worked with 309 students who were preparing for a very important final exam. During the 100 days before that, the students used an app which showed them old exam questions and recorded their performance. They also sat a mock exam(模拟考) 40 days before the real exam. To know their levels of anxiety, students were given 1-5 points to questions every day.
Dr. Theobald found that anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What predicted it was the level of knowledge a student showed in the mock and the earlier digital-learning activities. Those who perform ed well in these also did well in the real exam. And what actually affected students were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the real exam took place. The greater a student’s anxiety in the days before the exam, the less knowledge he or she got during that time.
To reduce the anxiety, Dr. Theobald has his advice for students. First, they can raise their confidence in their own abilities. Second, they can reduce the importance of the test by telling themselves that, though it is important, it is not a life-or-death situation.
23．Which of the following affects exam results most according to paragraph 1-2
A．The sound of the clock. B．The silence of the hall.
C．The pressure of the review. D．The proud look from the neighboring desk.
24．Paragraph 4 mainly talks about the ________ of the research.
A．process B．results C．reasons D．importance
25．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to
A．The test. B．The advice. C．The anxiety. D．The situation.
26．What can we infer(推断) from the text
A．The more mock exams you take, the better results you will get.
B．Students should pay less attention to the test to reduce the anxiety.
C．If you have more knowledge before exams, you will have less anxiety in exams.
D．Anxiety during review affects exam performance more than that during the exams.
27．What can be the best title for the text
A．Can you perform well in exams B．What may cause you exam anxiety
C．How can you reduce exam anxiety D．Does anxiety affect exam performance

I can speak 10 languages（语言）, so I know the benefits（益处）of speaking more than one language. We must change the five wrong ideas about language learning.
Language learning is difficult.
If you don’t want to learn a language, it is difficult. Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult. You need to listen and read. Soon you will enjoy speaking another language.
You have to have a gift（天赋） for learning languages
No, you don’t. Anyone who wants to, can learn. In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than one language. Not all of them have such a gift. Attitude（态度）is very important for language learning.
You have to live abroad（在国外）
Some immigrants（移民） to the US may speak poor English. But many people in other countries can speak good English. Where you live is not important. Practice makes good speakers.
Only children can learn another language well
You’re wrong. Adults（成年人）know more words of their mother language. They are better language learners than children. They also know more ways to learn.
I would love to learn but I don’t have the time
When you are doing things around the house or going for a walk, you can practise listening on your iPod. 15 or 30 minutes a day will be OK. If you really want to learn, you will find the time.
Wrong ideas The writer’s opinions（观点）
Too 28 Much listening and reading makes language learning 29 .
Having 30 gift You must have a 31 attitude to language learning.
Not living abroad People in other countries can also speak English 32 . Practice 33 you learn a language.
Too 34 to learn Adults are better learners 35 they know more words and more ways.
Having no time You can learn a language when you are doing 36 else. If you really want to learn, time isn’t a 37 .

Life is full of experiences. We can always remember the ones when we first did something. When I was in Grade 5, I was told to take part in an English writing competition. I was too nervous to speak when the teacher reported the news to the whole class. In order not to let my teacher and my classmates down, I trained myself very hard for the hope of being the winner of the competition.
I tried my best to learn as many words as possible. I spent all my time training so that I was able to memorize a lot more words, sentence structures and grammar rules as well as reading articles. The complete change seemed kind of strange in some all my classmates’ eyes.
The big day finally came. When I first saw the topic of the competition, a sudden feeling of nervousness came to me. At that moment, I realized I had no choice (选择) but to calm down (平静下来). Then I took a deep breath, and began to think up ideas about the topic. I quickly wrote down the structure, main ideas and other necessary words and phrases. As the finishing time was near, I tried my best to write more quickly. Unluckily, I didn’t complete my writing because I did not plan the time well.
The result came out two weeks later. To my surprise, I got the second prize. All my classmates cheered for me. Even though I was not the first prize winner, I could still feel pride and happiness spreading around me.
When I was in Grade 5, I took part in an English competition for the first time. I was nervous 38 the teacher reported the news to my class.

阅读短文，完成下面表格。
What we need to do is to stay focused on getting my homework done well.
One of the first is to eat and drink before starting; I don’t want to get hungry or thirsty when I’m doing my homework. Eat things that are healthy will give you energy for a long time, such as an apple or a cheese stick—not things that will quickly wear off, like sweets.
Make sure your work area has good lighting; you don’t want to hurt your eyes while reading. It should also have a table and a comfortable chair.
Some people like to have music going. This is fine if you like it but try to avoid loud songs, since these can distract you.
Try not to do your homework in the kitchen, where people might be cooking, the living room, where kids maybe playing, or never a computer or television.
The best places are your desk, if you have one, and the dining room table.
Once you have a good place to study, and feel ready, take out everything you need to do an assignment. You should have your agenda (your list of assignments and when they should be handed in). Decide which will take the most time, and do them last; do the easier assignments first to give yourself plenty of time to do the harder ones.
How to Stay Focused on Homework
Comfort ※ Eating and drinking something is necessary before starting your homework. ※ Make sure work area 43 . ※ Choose 44 that won’t distract you when you’re working.
Places Avoid the kitchen and the living room and keep away from the computer and 45 .
Organization ※ 46 all the assignments you have to do and when you have to finish them. ※ Do the easiest first so that you can have enough time to do the 47 later.

I am Canadian. I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of high school. As a 17-year-old girl, I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French-speaking host family, who didn’t speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school.
On the first day of school, the local school gave us students a test to determine (测定) our language level. We were required to speak only French all summer.
I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends, seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn’t understand most of it at the very beginning, the whole experience was exciting and refreshing.
On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went whale watching on the St. Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimming around our boat. The most unforgettable (令人难忘的) part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City. I walked along the stone streets, took pictures of the European-style (欧式的) buildings, and learned some stories there.
Finally my efforts paid off! At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn’t wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully lost in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过七个词。
48．When did the writer fly alone for the first time
49．How did the local school determine the students’ language level
50．Where did the writer take trips on weekends

Hello, I’m Wei Fen. Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke very quickly and I couldn’t understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because I didn’t know how to read the words correctly. I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything in class.
Then one day I watched an English movie—Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie. So I began to watch other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces help me get the meaning. I understood I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. I found out that listening to something interesting is the secret to the language learning. I also learned some useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake”or “It serves you right”. I did not understand these at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary.
Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar so that I can have a better understanding of English movies.

I don’t remember when I began to imitate the 90 , but I do remember that one day my English teacher said that I pronounced quite 91 and my intonation (语调) was also good. I think by imitation, I get not only 92 pronunciation and intonation, but also a kind of “feeling” for English.
The other way is to guess the 93 of words in the context, and I got that quite often. Once I was reading an English story 94 I came across a new word. But I was so lost in the story that I didn’t want to stop to 95 its meaning in the dictionary. So I looked around the word and guessed its meaning. Later, when I turned to an English dictionary, I found that I was right. How 96 I felt! Since then, I began to practice guessing ability 97 this way. By doing this, my ability improves and moreover, my reading speed increases!

When you are learning a language, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful. When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to use them. Here are some good reading tips.
Firstly, try to read at the right level. Read something that you can understand. If it is too hard for you, it is not interesting.
Secondly, try to understand the new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, don’t use a dictionary. Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read. Mark them with a pencil. Then look them up in a dictionary when you finish reading, and write them in your own vocabulary book. Try to remember them.
Thirdly, try to read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes or half an hour every day is better than two hours every Sunday. For example, you can read before you go to bed, or after you get up or at lunchtime.
Lastly, read something that interests you. Choose a newspaper, a book or a magazine about a subject that you like. It will be easy enough for you to understand.

Can family be your secret to language learning success
If you want to get into language learning but haven’t managed it on your own yet, learning with your family might be just the extra motivation (动力) you need and one of the most effective and easiest ways.
Why do we learn language as a family
Learning a language as a family can help add motivation. If your family is competitive, the desire to be the best might make you study even harder than you learn alone.
Learning as a family gives you built-in conversation partners. Practice is important when learning a language, but you can’t always have a native-level language exchange partner at the ready. However, if you have a family full of other language learners, you can work in a little conversation practice whenever you have a moment.
Learning a language as a family is also a fun group activity. Everyone loves a game night or movie night. It’s a fun way to break up the daily routine and reconnect with those you love. Maybe it would be much better to learn a language while spending an interesting night with your family.
How do we start learning a language as a family
Keep it real. If your family loves cooking together, you can start by learning words and phrases for foods and kitchen tasks, and you can make shopping lists in the target (目标) language.
Take notes. Language isn’t just speaking; it’s reading and writing, too. Encourage your family to text each other in your target language. You could also surprise each other with notes on pillows, bathroom mirrors, inside dresser drawers—any place your family will find them.
Game the language. Your family can try playing board or card games that are popular in foreign countries where people speak the target language.
Plan a movie night. Watching movies in the target language can help you get a feel for the language as it’s used by native speakers. You can set the subtitles (字幕) to the target language, so you can see the words you’re hearing as you watch.
Let’s make it a habit to learn a language in our family. Then we could spend our spare time productively and make a great difference.
8．According to the passage, learning a language as a family _________.
A．makes us have less interest in communicating with family members
B．keeps us from talking with native-level language exchange partners
C．helps us remain the family routine as usual through group activities
D．offers us extra opportunities to practice language whenever possible
9．According to the writer’s suggestions, we can _________.
A．have language learning involved into family’s kitchen tasks
B．hide the target language subtitles in a movie while watching
C．surprise the family by painting a picture on a bathroom mirror
D．play popular card games in other countries in our native language
10．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage
A．To compare different ideas on how to learn a language as a family.
B．To introduce the achievements of learning a language in a family.
C．To explain why learning a language has many benefits for a family.
D．To call on us to make language learning part of a family’s activity.
【答案】8．D 9．A 10．D
【详解】本文主要讲述家庭是学习语言成功的秘诀之一，与家人一起学习语言可以增加动力、提供对话伙伴、成为有趣的团体活动，并帮助你更有效地利用业余时间。文章还提供了一些具体的方法和建议，如保持真实、做笔记、游戏语言和计划电影之夜，以帮助你和家人开始学习一门语言。
8．细节理解题。根据“However, if you have a family full of other language learners, you can work in a little conversation practice whenever you have a moment.”可知，如果家里有很多其他的语言学习者，我们可以在有时间的时候进行一些对话练习，也就是说作为一个家庭学习一门语言为我们提供了尽可能练习语言的额外机会。故选D。
9．细节理解题。根据“If your family loves cooking together, you can start by learning words and phrases for foods and kitchen tasks, and you can make shopping lists in the target (目标) language.”可知，如果家人喜欢一起做饭，我们可以从学习有关食物和厨房任务的单词和短语开始，也可以用目标语言制作购物清单，也就是说我们可以让语言学习融入家庭的厨房任务。故选A。
10．推理判断题。根据“Let’s make it a habit to learn a language in our family.”和通读全文可知，本文讲述了全家一起学习语言的好处和方法，由此可知作者写这篇文章是为了呼吁我们把语言学习作为家庭活动的一部分。故选D。

People at home keep asking me, “Is it hard to learn Chinese Why have you learned it so well ” Well, there’s one thing that makes Chinese easy to learn: there are so many people to talk to. You’ve probably heard that it’s the most spoken language. Today it’s also one of the most written languages online. And with so many Chinese people interested in learning English, it couldn’t be easier to find a friend for language learning. You just have to know where to look for them.
The really good place to look for them is Wechat. Wechat has the same status in China as Facebook does in the US. It is reported that at any moment, up to 900,000,000 people are using Wechat. They’re at work, or in a web cafe, or at home, and the information of the users can be found. If you sign in with your address set to “abroad”, you’ll soon find that many thousands of them are interested in speaking to you! This is a great way for you to learn Chinese, and for them to learn English. I think that it’s a very interesting way of cultural contact too, for ordinary people from around the world to be able to have one-on-one contact.

They lived in a beautiful house, only 15 minutes away from the school by underground. I loved staying with them, because they were very friendly and they had two daughters who were at my age: Jane and Melissa. Every morning, after breakfast, we took the underground to school.
Lessons started at 9:00 a m. and finished at 1:00 p. m. I was free almost the whole afternoon so I had lots of time to read English books after school. In the evening, I never went out. I liked watching TV for some time, and then went to bed early. On the weekend, Jane and Melissa took me to watch some sports games and visit some places of interest by tour bus.

Exams cause anxiety(焦虑). The silence of the hall; the sound of the clock; the proud look of the person sitting at the neighboring desk who has finished 15 minutes early. So there is little surprise that those who worry about taking exams do worse than those who do not.
According to a recent research by Maria Theobald, perhaps, it is not the pressure(压力) of the exam hall that causes the problem. It is the pressure of review.
Dr. Theobald worked with 309 students who were preparing for a very important final exam. During the 100 days before that, the students used an app which showed them old exam questions and recorded their performance. They also sat a mock exam(模拟考) 40 days before the real exam. To know their levels of anxiety, students were given 1-5 points to questions every day.
Dr. Theobald found that anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all. What predicted it was the level of knowledge a student showed in the mock and the earlier digital-learning activities. Those who perform ed well in these also did well in the real exam. And what actually affected students were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the real exam took place. The greater a student’s anxiety in the days before the exam, the less knowledge he or she got during that time.
To reduce the anxiety, Dr. Theobald has his advice for students. First, they can raise their confidence in their own abilities. Second, they can reduce the importance of the test by telling themselves that, though it is important, it is not a life-or-death situation.
23．Which of the following affects exam results most according to paragraph 1-2
A．The sound of the clock. B．The silence of the hall.
C．The pressure of the review. D．The proud look from the neighboring desk.
24．Paragraph 4 mainly talks about the ________ of the research.
A．process B．results C．reasons D．importance
25．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to
A．The test. B．The advice. C．The anxiety. D．The situation.
26．What can we infer(推断) from the text
A．The more mock exams you take, the better results you will get.
B．Students should pay less attention to the test to reduce the anxiety.
C．If you have more knowledge before exams, you will have less anxiety in exams.
D．Anxiety during review affects exam performance more than that during the exams.
27．What can be the best title for the text
A．Can you perform well in exams B．What may cause you exam anxiety
C．How can you reduce exam anxiety D．Does anxiety affect exam performance
【答案】23．C 24．B 25．A 26．D 27．D
【详解】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了影响考试成绩的压力来源。通过试验得出结论，即真正影响学生的是在真正考试前几周的高度焦虑。学生在考试前几天的焦虑程度越高，他或她在这段时间里学到的知识就越少。
23．细节理解题。根据“ it is not the pressure(压力) of the exam hall that causes the problem. It is the pressure of review.”可知，造成这个问题的不是考场的压力。而是复习的压力。故选C。
24．主旨大意题。根据第四段主要是关于实验的结论的，即考试前几天焦虑程度越高，复习获得的知识越少，考试结果越不好。故选B。
25．词义猜测题。根据“ they can reduce the importance of the test by telling themselves that, though it is important, it is not a life-or-death situation.”可知，他们可以通过以下方法降低测试的重要性：告诉自己，尽管这个考试很重要，但这不是生死攸关的事情。故选A。
26．推理判断题。根据“Dr. Theobald found that anxiety on the day of the test did not predict exam performance at all.”可知，考试当天的焦虑根本不会影响考试成绩，“what actually affected students were high levels of anxiety during the weeks before the real exam took place. ”，可知，真正影响考试成绩的是考试前复习阶段的焦虑程度。故选D。
27．最佳标题题。根据全文都是关于考试中压力的来源，且用实验的方法告诉人们考试前期复习过程中压力才会影响考试成绩。故选D。
二、阅读填表

I can speak 10 languages（语言）, so I know the benefits（益处）of speaking more than one language. We must change the five wrong ideas about language learning.
Language learning is difficult.
If you don’t want to learn a language, it is difficult. Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult. You need to listen and read. Soon you will enjoy speaking another language.
You have to have a gift（天赋） for learning languages
No, you don’t. Anyone who wants to, can learn. In Sweden and Holland most people speak more than one language. Not all of them have such a gift. Attitude（态度）is very important for language learning.
You have to live abroad（在国外）
Some immigrants（移民） to the US may speak poor English. But many people in other countries can speak good English. Where you live is not important. Practice makes good speakers.
Only children can learn another language well
You’re wrong. Adults（成年人）know more words of their mother language. They are better language learners than children. They also know more ways to learn.
I would love to learn but I don’t have the time
When you are doing things around the house or going for a walk, you can practise listening on your iPod. 15 or 30 minutes a day will be OK. If you really want to learn, you will find the time.
Wrong ideas The writer’s opinions（观点）
Too 28 Much listening and reading makes language learning 29 .
Having 30 gift You must have a 31 attitude to language learning.

【详解】本文主要介绍了我们语言学习的五个错误观点。
28．根据“Much listening and reading”可知此处表达的是语言学习的错误观点是Language learning is difficult；too后跟形容词。故填difficult/hard。
29．根据“Learning a language takes time, but is not difficult.”可知学习语言虽然需要时间，但是不难，make sth. adj.“让某物……”，此处用形容词easy“容易的”。故填easy。
30．根据“You have to have a gift（天赋） for learning languages”可知第二条错误观点是have a gift。故填a。
31．根据“Attitude（态度）is very important for language learning.”可知对于学习语言来说，态度也很重要，所以学习语言要有好的态度，修饰名词用形容词good。故填good。
32．根据“But many people in other countries can speak good English.”可知其他国家的许多人也能说好英语，此空应用副词well修饰speak English。故填well。
33．根据“Practice makes good speakers.”可知练习造就优秀的演说家，因此当我们学一门语言的时候就要多练习，用when引导时间状语从句。故填when。
34．根据“Only children can learn another language well”可知有人认为只有孩子能学另一种语言，老人太老了不能学。故填old。
35．根据“They are better language learners than children. They also know more ways to learn.”可知年轻人是更好的学习者，因为他们知道学习的方法较多。故填because。
36．根据“When you are doing things around the house or going for a walk, you can practise listening on your iPod.”可知当你做其他的事情的时候，你也可以学习。故填someting。

Life is full of experiences. We can always remember the ones when we first did something. When I was in Grade 5, I was told to take part in an English writing competition. I was too nervous to speak when the teacher reported the news to the whole class. In order not to let my teacher and my classmates down, I trained myself very hard for the hope of being the winner of the competition.
I tried my best to learn as many words as possible. I spent all my time training so that I was able to memorize a lot more words, sentence structures and grammar rules as well as reading articles. The complete change seemed kind of strange in some all my classmates’ eyes.
The big day finally came. When I first saw the topic of the competition, a sudden feeling of nervousness came to me. At that moment, I realized I had no choice (选择) but to calm down (平静下来). Then I took a deep breath, and began to think up ideas about the topic. I quickly wrote down the structure, main ideas and other necessary words and phrases. As the finishing time was near, I tried my best to write more quickly. Unluckily, I didn’t complete my writing because I did not plan the time well.
The result came out two weeks later. To my surprise, I got the second prize. All my classmates cheered for me. Even though I was not the first prize winner, I could still feel pride and happiness spreading around me.

Luckily, I still felt 42 and happy due to the cheers from my classmates even though I was not the first prize winner.

阅读短文，完成下面表格。
What we need to do is to stay focused on getting my homework done well.
One of the first is to eat and drink before starting; I don’t want to get hungry or thirsty when I’m doing my homework. Eat things that are healthy will give you energy for a long time, such as an apple or a cheese stick—not things that will quickly wear off, like sweets.
Make sure your work area has good lighting; you don’t want to hurt your eyes while reading. It should also have a table and a comfortable chair.
Some people like to have music going. This is fine if you like it but try to avoid loud songs, since these can distract you.
Try not to do your homework in the kitchen, where people might be cooking, the living room, where kids maybe playing, or never a computer or television.
The best places are your desk, if you have one, and the dining room table.
Once you have a good place to study, and feel ready, take out everything you need to do an assignment. You should have your agenda (your list of assignments and when they should be handed in). Decide which will take the most time, and do them last; do the easier assignments first to give yourself plenty of time to do the harder ones.
How to Stay Focused on Homework
Comfort ※ Eating and drinking something is necessary before starting your homework. ※ Make sure work area 43 . ※ Choose 44 that won’t distract you when you’re working.
Places Avoid the kitchen and the living room and keep away from the computer and 45 .
Organization ※ 46 all the assignments you have to do and when you have to finish them. ※ Do the easiest first so that you can have enough time to do the 47 later.
【答案】43．bright
44．music 45．television 46．List
47．harder
【详解】本文从如何舒服地做家庭作业、做家庭作业的环境以及如何组织家庭作业这三个不同方面来为你集中精力做家庭作业进行支招。
43．根据“Make sure your work area has good lighting…It should also have a table and a comfortable chair.”可知，此处介绍确保学习区域照明合适、座位舒服。bright“明亮的”，形容词，作宾补。故填bright。
44．根据“Some people like to have music going. This is fine if you like it but try to avoid loud songs, since these can distract you.”可知，此处介绍在学习时可以选择不会让自己分心的音乐。故填music。
45．根据“Try not to do your homework in the kitchen, where people might be cooking, the living room, where kids maybe playing, or never a computer or television.”可知，此处介绍在学习时应远离电脑和电视。故填television。
46．根据“You should have your agenda (your list of assignments and when they should be handed in).”可知，此处介绍在学习前应当首先列一个学习清单。list“列清单”，动词，用其原形置于句首表祈使语气，首字母大写。故填List。
47．根据“Decide which will take the most time, and do them last; do the easier assignments first to give yourself plenty of time to do the harder ones.”可知，做作业时先做简单的部分，然后做较难的部分。故填harder。
三、阅读回答问题
（二）
I am Canadian. I started learning French when I was 10 years old. But my whole experience with the language was in the classroom. All of that changed, however, during my last summer of high school. As a 17-year-old girl, I flew across the country by myself for the first time! I headed for Quebec to live in the province with a French-speaking host family, who didn’t speak any English. And I would learn French at a local school.
On the first day of school, the local school gave us students a test to determine (测定) our language level. We were required to speak only French all summer.
I made every effort to communicate in a second language by making new friends, seeing movies and even ordering food from restaurants in French. Though I couldn’t understand most of it at the very beginning, the whole experience was exciting and refreshing.
On weekends, my classmates and I took trips to different places around the province. On one trip, we went whale watching on the St. Lawrence River. Even though it was raining, we could see huge whales swimming around our boat. The most unforgettable (令人难忘的) part of our trip was a visit to historic Quebec City. I walked along the stone streets, took pictures of the European-style (欧式的) buildings, and learned some stories there.
Finally my efforts paid off! At the end of the summer, I was able to communicate pretty well. I couldn’t wait to go back to school and talk with my French teacher. Being fully lost in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过七个词。
48．When did the writer fly alone for the first time
49．How did the local school determine the students’ language level
50．Where did the writer take trips on weekends

52．根据最后一段“Being fully lost in a French-speaking environment was a valuable learning experience. And it could be the main reason for my improvement in French.”可知，完全沉浸在讲法语的环境中可能是作者法语进步的主要原因。故填Being fully lost in a French-speaking environment.

Hello, I’m Wei Fen. Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke very quickly and I couldn’t understand her most of the time. I was afraid to ask questions because I didn’t know how to read the words correctly. I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything in class.
Then one day I watched an English movie—Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie. So I began to watch other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces help me get the meaning. I understood I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. I found out that listening to something interesting is the secret to the language learning. I also learned some useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake”or “It serves you right”. I did not understand these at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary.
Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar so that I can have a better understanding of English movies.
53．The general introduction of the passage:
54．The reasons that the writer didn’t like English:
