Ⅴ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了在非洲撒哈拉沙漠以南的地区,大多数儿童上学的学校不是用母语授课,而是用更国际化的语言授课,对此人们有不同的看法。
1.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Some believe this system prepares kids for a successful future. Others say that teaching in an unfamiliar language can obviously…”可知,上文提到一些人认为,这种制度为孩子们的成功做好了准备,即支持这种制度,而另一些人反对这种制度,认为用不熟悉的语言教学显然会降低学习效果。故画线词意思是“危害,不利于”,故选A。
2.D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Forcing children to learn in French could not actually have a positive effect on their school performance. According to Education Centre, the youth’s ability to read and write is lower than the average for countries with similar economies.”可知,提到塞内加尔是为了展示学习法语对学生的负面影响。故选D。
3.B 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Meissa Dieng, a school headmaster, accepts the importance of international languages. But he’s concerned about how well children adapt to the challenges of doing schoolwork in a language they do not speak at home.”可知,Meissa Dieng对国际语言的重要性持接受态度,但对其执行效果存有顾虑,所以他对国际语言教学的态度是怀疑的。故选B。
4.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In these programmes, children learn to speak French and build learning skills in their local language…Programme Director Awa Ka Dia hopes the good results will encourage the native governments to fund the programmes, so they could cover more areas.”可知,这些项目被认为很有用。故选A。
Ⅵ. 【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了为TOEIC考试做准备的几点建议。
1.G 根据段落小标题“Master the TOEIC listening test”可知,空处承接上文,说明听力考试的设计意图。故G项“这部分是用来测试你对英语口语的理解程度的”切题,与下文各个小标题下的第一句呼应。故选G。
2.D 根据下文“What you’ll need is a partner and a lot of practice! Whether that’s a classmate or someone else learning English, there’s no replacement for speaking with another human being.”可知,想要提高说的能力,就必须要与人进行交谈,没有其他秘诀。故D选项“但要准备这个测试,没有什么秘诀”切题,与下文话题一致。故选D。
3.B 根据下文“They’re short, and you can read about a variety of topics.”可知,空处要说明是哪种媒介会涉及各种各样的主题。故B项“报纸上的文章是一个很好的选择”切题,they指代的是newspaper articles。故选B。
4.A 根据下文“The writing test assesses your ability to write in English.”可知,本段介绍的是对写作的建议。故A项“为TOEIC写作考试而学习”切题,为本段的标题。故选A。
5.E 根据下文“The linking(连接) words, such as ‘moreover’ and ‘however’, will make your writing sound much more natural.”可知,空处应与连接词有关,以引出下文。故E项“练习使用连接词来连接你的观点”切题。故选E。
Ⅶ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英语作为全球通用语言的普及原因及其重要性,并鼓励读者无论来自哪里都应该学好英语。
1.millions 考查数词。millions of是固定短语,意为“数百万的”。故填millions。
2.globally 考查副词。空处修饰整个句子,用副词globally作状语,意为“全球地”。故填globally。
3.which/that 考查定语从句。空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词countries,关系词在定语从句中作主语,指物,用关系代词which或that引导。故填which/that。
4.ruled 考查动词时态。动词rule(统治)与expanded是并列谓语动词,与主语之间是主动关系,用一般过去时描述过去发生的事情。故填ruled。
5.were forced 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。空处是主句谓语,force(强迫)与主语the people之间是被动关系,根据语境可知,句中讲述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是people,谓语动词用复数形式。故填were forced。
6.putting 考查非谓语动词。“It is worth doing sth.”是固定句型,意为“值得做某事。”。故填putting。
7.an 考查冠词。language在此为可数名词,此处泛指“一种重要的语言”,且important发音以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
8.or 考查连词。whether…or…是复合连词,意为“无论……还是……”。故填or。
9.importance 考查名词。空处作宾语,用名词importance,意为“重要性”,是不可数名词。故填importance。
10.to learn 考查非谓语动词。“It is wise of sb to do sth.”是固定句型,意为“某人做某事是明智的。”。故填to learn。Unit 2 Exploring English
在英语中,有些表达的字面意义和实际意义有着天壤之别,因此若要准确理解英语表达的含义,一定要基于语境。
There are so many expressions in American English that sound pleasant but are not.
“Face the music” is a good example. When someone says he or she has to face the music, it does not mean he or she is going to a musical performance or concert. To face the music means to accept the unpleasant results of an action.
Imagine a friend asks you to take care of her beautiful red sports car. She gives you the keys and says, “Thanks so much for watching my car while I’m away. But please do not drive it. It is an extremely fast car.” But you do not listen. You want to show off and pretend the car is yours. So, you drive it around town. As luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign. The damage is serious. When your friend returns, you must tell her what you have done and “face the music”. That could mean losing her friendship or paying for repairs to her sports car or both. Whatever the music is, you must face it.
There are other American expressions that mean the same as “face the music”.
To “take your medicine” means to accept the results of something bad you have done. And if someone says “You made your bed. Now lie in it.”, he or she means you created a bad situation and now you will experience the results, or as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!
【主题词句背诵】
1.face the music 承担后果
2.take care of 负责;照料,照顾
3.show off 炫耀
4.the same as 和……一样
5.To face the music means to accept the unpleasant results of an action.
承担后果意味着接受一个行为的不愉快的结果。
6.As luck would have it, you lose control of the car and drive it into a stop sign.
不巧你开车失控,撞上了停车标志。
7.Whatever the music is, you must face it.
不管后果是什么样的,你都必须承担它。
8.…as we say in American spoken English, you must deal with it!
……正如我们在美式英语口语中所说的,你必须处理它!

[2025·浙江丽水五校高中发展共同体高一期中]
In sub-Saharan Africa, most children attend schools where lessons are not taught in their mother tongue, but a language that is more international. Some believe this system prepares kids for a successful future. Others say that teaching in an unfamiliar language can obviously hamper learning results.
Senegal is an example of an African nation where students learn to read—not in a language they speak at home, but in French. Forcing children to learn in French could not actually have a positive effect on their school performance. According to Education Centre, the youth’s ability to read and write is lower than the average for countries with similar economies. In addition, more than half of Senegal’s secondary school-age children no longer attend school.
Such concerns have led schools in some countries to begin teaching in local languages. But not everyone agrees with these efforts. Barbara Trudell, the director of an organization for language development, says that preferring local languages can be difficult to understand. That’s because there might be more opportunities for speakers of international languages. Others have mixed feelings. Meissa Dieng, a school headmaster, accepts the importance of international languages. But he’s concerned about how well children adapt to the challenges of doing schoolwork in a language they do not speak at home. Chris Darby, an education expert, says that parents often have strong views on teaching in international languages. But many of them finally support it. “Parents are very eager, I think, for children to succeed,” said Darby.
Many organizations have been applying two-language teaching programmes in primary schools. In these programmes, children learn to speak French and build learning skills in their local language. The local language is later used as a base to learn and read in French. Programme Director Awa Ka Dia hopes the good results will encourage the native governments to fund the programmes, so they could cover more areas.
( )1.What does the underlined word “hamper” mean in Paragraph 1
A.Harm. B.Improve.
C.Achieve. D.Confuse.
( )2.Why is the country Senegal mentioned in Paragraph 2
A.To show the importance of reading and writing in French.
B.To encourage Senegalese students to learn a second language.
C.To show the great benefits of learning an international language.
D.To show the negative influence of learning French on Senegalese students.
( )3.What is Meissa Dieng’s attitude to teaching in international languages
A.Unconcerned. B.Doubtful.
C.Positive. D.Unclear.
( )4.What can be concluded from the last paragraph
A.The programmes are considered helpful.
B.Learning French helps to improve learning skills.
C.Native languages make it harder to learn French.
D.The local government has put lots of money into the programmes.

［2025·浙江丽水五校高中发展共同体高一期中］
In sub-Saharan Africa, most children attend schools where
lessons are not taught in their mother tongue, but a language
that is more international. Some believe this system prepares
kids for a successful future. Others say that teaching in an
unfamiliar language can obviously hamper learning results.

Senegal is an example of an African nation where students
learn to read—not in a language they speak at home, but in
French. Forcing children to learn in French could not actually
have a positive effect on their school performance. According to
Education Centre, the youth's ability to read and write is lower
than the average for countries with similar economies. In
addition, more than half of Senegal's secondary school-age
children no longer attend school.

Such concerns have led schools in some countries to begin
teaching in local languages. But not everyone agrees with these
efforts. Barbara Trudell, the director of an organization for
language development, says that preferring local languages can
be difficult to understand. That's because there might be more
opportunities for speakers of international languages. Others
have mixed feelings. Meissa Dieng, a school headmaster, accepts
the importance of international languages. But he's concerned
about how well children adapt to the challenges of doing

schoolwork in a language they do not speak at home. Chris
Darby, an education expert, says that parents often have strong
views on teaching in international languages. But many of them
finally support it. “Parents are very eager, I think, for children to
succeed,” said Darby.
Many organizations have been applying two-language
teaching programmes in primary schools. In these programmes,
children learn to speak French and build learning skills in their
local language. The local language is later used as a base to

learn and read in French. Programme Director Awa Ka Dia
hopes the good results will encourage the native governments
to fund the programmes, so they could cover more areas.
