能力提升
Ⅰ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了全球英语学习者数量不断增长，英语在一些非母语国家也被广泛使用。
1．B [词义猜测题。根据第二段中“The distinction is that EFL speakers generally are those using English sometimes for business or pleasure，while ESL students use English on a daily basis．”可知，此处阐述了EFL与ESL学习者的不同之处，distinction表示“区别，差别”的意思。故选B项。]
2．D [推理判断题。根据第三段“Some think that ESL students only need to know the language to connect with native speakers，because English is required for those living and working in English speaking countries，which is a common misunderstanding．．．ESL students in any country will certainly have more opportunities to use the language．”可知，ESL学生会与母语和非母语人士交流。故选D项。]
3．B [细节理解题。根据第四段中“The shortage of ESL and EFL teachers has continued in recent years，and it presents one of the largest challenges to education across the globe．”可知，全球教育面临的问题是英语教师短缺，难以满足需求。故选B项。]
4．C [推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Still，workplaces within its member states use the 24 accepted primary languages，especially English．”可推知，欧盟成员国通常使用英语来改善交流。故选C项。]
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现，同时学习两种语言不但能够和单一语言学习者一样掌握这门语言，而且可以比单一语言学习者学得更快。
5．B [细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When you learn two languages at once，you're cutting your way through the jungle to create two paths，which requires twice the discipline，time and motivation．”以及第二段中的“This is likely because they have already made enormous efforts．”可知，同时学习两门语言的人已经付出的努力更大。故选B。]
6．D [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But to know just how many efforts and resources to put into it，you'll need to decide what you want to achieve with the languages you're planning to adopt．”可知，决定学习外语花费多长时间取决于学习它们的目的。故选D。]
7．C [细节理解题。根据第四段后半部分可知，对于以英语为母语的人来说，普通话是最难学习的。故选C。]
8．A [标题归纳题。文章介绍了一项研究发现，同时学习两种语言不但能够和单一语言学习者一样掌握这门语言，而且可以比单一语言学习者学得更快。故A选项“同时学习两种语言”最符合文章标题。故选A。]
Ⅱ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了四种有创造性和简单的学英语的方法。
1．B [由下文可知，这里主要讲通过歌词我们可以学习英语。而B项符合语境，其中English songs与下文the whole song和the song对应，有启下作用。故选B。]
2．C [由小标题“Learning from News”和“Unlike TV shows and movies，the news is a bit more informative．”可知，这里主要建议从新闻中学英语，所以选项要说明通过新闻学英语的益处。C项符合语境，其中what is happening in the world与上文the news对应，所以本句有承上作用。故选C。]
3．G [由下文“So while learning English in various ways，you also need to start speaking it with people．”可知，这里主要讲通过实际运用来练习英语，而G项符合语境，其中applying it practically 与下文start speaking it with people对应，有启下作用。故选G。]
4．E [由下文“It might feel odd at first，but with time you will be able to find your own mistakes and correct them accordingly．”可知，这里在讲另一种练习英语的方法。而E项符合语境，其中stand in front of the mirror and speak in English与下文It might feel odd at first对应，有启下作用。故选E。]
5．D [由下文可知，这里主要讲要及早提出你学英语的问题，而D项符合语境，其中asking a lot of questions与下文do not wait for the last moment to solve your doubts对应，所以有启下作用。故选D。]
Ⅲ．【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是如何克服说新语言的恐惧。
1．importance [考查词性转换。great是形容词，修饰名词，important的名词形式是importance，是不可数名词，意为“重要性”，故填importance。]
2．ourselves [考查代词。根据语境可知，此处表示我们对自己有自信，空格处意为“我们自己”，用反身代词ourselves。故填ourselves。]
3．To get [考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知，句子表示“为了克服对别人说英语或其他语言的恐惧，你应该首先克服你的羞怯”，空格处用不定式表目的，位于句首的单词首字母大写，故填To get。]
4．speaking [考查状语从句的省略。根据语境可知，when引导的从句表示“当你在说一门新语言的时候”，由is可知，用现在进行时，完整形式是when you are speaking。当从句主语和主句主语一致，且从句中有be动词时，可省略从句的主语和be动词，因此空格处是speaking。故填speaking。]
5．natural [考查词性转换。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词part，nature的形容词形式是natural，意为“自然的”，故填natural。]
6．is made [考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据语境可知，once引导的条件状语从句中时态用一般现在时，错误是被犯，因此空格处用一般现在时的被动语态，主语a mistake是单数，因此空格处是is made。故填is made。]
7．It [考查代词。It is a great idea to do sth．是固定句型，意为“做某事是一个好主意。”，其中It是形式主语，真正的主语是不定式，故填It。]
8．what [考查名词性从句。someone says to you是宾语从句，从句中缺少宾语，此处表示“你不明白别人对你说的话”，因此空格处用what引导宾语从句，故填what。]
9．or [考查并列连词。根据语境可知，句子表示“如果你不明白别人对你说的话，就说‘对不起。你能再说一遍吗？’或者‘对不起。我不太明白你的意思。’”，空格处意为“或者”，故填or。]
10．with [考查介词。be honest with意为“对……诚实”，因此空格处用介词with，故填with。]

Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
Thereareabout1.5billionEnglish language learners worldwide currently，says British Council member John Knagg．The group is one of the largest providers of English language instruction in the world．It has more than 3，000 full time English teachers globally．
English language learners worldwide are largely divided into two groups: The British Council says that there are about 750 million English as a foreign language(EFL) speakers and about 375 million English as a second language(ESL) learners．The distinction is that EFL speakers generally are those using English sometimes for business or pleasure，while ESL students use English on a daily basis．
SomethinkthatESLstudentsonlyneed to know the
language to connect with native(本土的) speakers，because English is required for those living and working in English speaking countries，which is a common misunderstanding．English is also generally used between nations where English is not the primary language．These countries use English as a common language to make it more convenient to do business and cultural activities．ESL students in any country will certainly have more opportunities to use the language．
The number of English learners around the world is also expected to increase．It is said that more than 2 billion people will be using the language in the near future．Countries from India to Somalia are calling on teachers，particularly native speakers，to travel abroad and share their knowledge of English．John Knagg said，“The shortage of ESL and EFL teachers has continued in recent years，and it presents one of the largest challenges to education across the globe．”
The European Union recognizes 24 official languages within its member states as well as a number of other minority(少数民族) languages．Because of the different languages and cultures in the EU，there has been a push to accept one common language for dealing with foreign business．Still，workplaces within its member states use the 24 accepted primary languages，especially English．Learning English has become the pursuit(追求) of keeping updated on rapid globalization，but fortunately for the EU，many people in its member states speak English quite fluently．
1．What does the underlined word “distinction” in paragraph 2 mean
A．Range． B．Difference．
C．Error． D．Option．
2．What can we infer about ESL students from paragraph 3
A．They use English less often than EFL students．
B．They mainly learn English about business and culture．
C．They prefer to study and work in English speaking countries．
D．They communicate with both native and non native speakers．
3．What is the problem faced by education across the globe
A．Some languages are dying out．
B．English teachers can hardly meet the need．
C．English learners make slow progress in self study．
D．Different lifestyles affect English learning dramatically．
4．What is mentioned about the EU's member states
A．They try to increase the number of official languages．
B．They often have misunderstandings about each other．
C．They use English commonly to improve their exchanges．
D．They are doing all they could to protect their mother tongue．
B
Learning a new language is like you're going through the jungle with a knife and creating a path．When you learn two languages at once，you're cutting your way through the jungle to create two paths，which requires twice the discipline，time and motivation．
But it is possible．A 2020 study published in the International Journal of Multilingualism found that Chinese students learning English and Russian at the same time achieved similar mastery in English compared to a control group that just studied English．This is likely because they have already made enormous efforts．A 2017 study suggests that bilinguals (双语者) can learn new languages faster than single language learners．
The biggest challenge of learning two languages at the same time is finding enough time and opportunities to study them．But to know just how many efforts and resources to put into it，you'll need to decide what you want to achieve with the languages you're planning to adopt．Becoming professor level fluent in Polish is going to take a really long time，but if you want to be able to have conversations while you're travelling，that won't take as much time．
To help you distribute your time and energy more effectively，and get a better idea of what your study plan will look like，it's important to understand how difficult a particular language is for a native English speaker．While it can take up to 2，200 hours to learn languages like Arabic and Mandarin，if you grew up speaking English，it'll be easier for you to pick up Czech and German，for example．The easiest languages for native English speakers to learn include Spanish French，and Portuguese，which require between 600 and 750 hours of class to achieve professional mastery．
If it feels too discouraging to go full speed ahead on both languages right away，it might be easier to understand basic grammar and vocabulary for one language before adding another one to the mix．
5．Why can bilingual learners do as well as single language learners
A．Bilingual learners are cleverer．
B．Bilingual learners work harder．
C．Bilingual learners are more interested in languages．
D．Bilingual learners have a better learning environment．
6．What determines the time it takes to learn foreign languages
A．The occasions of using the languages．
B．The steps to learn the languages．
C．The professors teaching the languages．
D．The purpose of learning the languages．
7．Which language is the hardest for native English speakers according to the text
A．French． B．German．
C．Mandarin． D．Portuguese．
8．What is the best title for the text
A．Learning Two Languages at Once
B．Ways of Learning a New Language
C．Language Talent of Chinese Students
D．Difficulty in Learning Language
Ⅱ．阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
Apart from regular(常规的)study，there are a few other interesting ways to learn English．
Here is a list of four creative and easy ways．
Learning from Music
1 But few of us look at the lyrics(歌词)，which is where we lose the golden opportunity to improve our English．Looking at the lyrics and learning to sing the whole song will not only help in understanding and enjoying the song much better than before，but will also educate you unknowingly about the kind of usages that were used to create meaning and about meanings of new words．
Learning from News
Unlike TV shows and movies，the news is a bit more informative． 2 Also，watching the news will help you to learn the formal way of communicating．
Conversation in English
3 So while learning English in various ways，you also need to start speaking it with people．You can practise with your friends or teachers as they will also tell you the mistakes you've made then and there，helping you to improve． 4 It might feel odd at first，but with time you will be able to find your own mistakes and correct them accordingly．
Be Curious
5 If you are not excited about learning the language and do not clear you come across a phrase or word that you are unfamiliar with，do not wait for the last moment to solve your doubts．
A．This way you will start learning new words every day．
B．There are many English songs that many of us just love to listen to．
C．Along with English，it helps you know what is happening in the world．
D．If you want to improve in a rapid way then asking a lot of questions is the key．
E．Another simple step is to stand in front of the mirror and speak in English．
F．Learning from the mistakes is important as it will help you not repeat them again．
G．Learning is the most basic part of anything，but applying it practically makes one smart．
Ⅲ．语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
Sometimes when we are learning a new language，it can be really frightening to start speaking it with other people．Overcoming this fear of speaking our new language is of great 1． (important) as it will help us gain confidence in 2． (we) and will show others that they can speak to us in their native language．
3． (get) over your fear of speaking English or a different language to other people，you should first of all overcome your shyness．Accept the fact that you are going to make mistakes all the time，especially when 4． (speak) a new language—it is a 5． (nature) part of the process of improving your speaking．Once a mistake 6． (make)，you may just correct it and carry on．
7． is a great idea to learn some set phrases or answers for certain questions in English．For example，if you don't understand 8． someone says to you，say things like “I'm sorry．Could you repeat that？”9． “I'm sorry．I didn't quite follow you．” This is a great way of being honest 10． yourself and also learning how to react to situations or questions that may take you by surprise．
