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。文章介绍了提高英语口语和写作能力的四个关键技能：听、说、读、写，并强调了阅读和听力在提高口语和写作中的重要性。文章给出了提高阅读和听力能力的具体建议和方法。
5．A [细节理解题。根据第一段中“The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills，you should first master the skills of reading and listening．”可知，作者认为在四个技能中，首先应该提高的是阅读和听力。]
6．B [细节理解题。根据第二段中“But your reading must be active．It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences，the meaning of the unfamiliar words，etc．”可知，为了提高阅读能力，在阅读时应该积极思考所读内容。]
7．A [词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them，for example in other passages or books，is enough”可知，此处是指在阅读中你所遇见的那些你不熟悉的单词，能够认出它们就够了，故该词指“遇见”，故选A。]

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
If you want to become a fluent English speaker，you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning English．They are listening，speaking，reading and writing．The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills，you should first master the skills of reading and listening．
Read as much as you can．But your reading must be active．It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences，the meaning of the unfamiliar words，etc．
There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you encounter，but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them，for example in other passages or books，is enough．It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it．
As for listening，there are two choices: besides reading，you can listen every day for about 30 minutes．You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading，then you can catch up on your listening．Since you have lots of inputs in your mind，you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say．This never means that you should not practice listening．
For listening，you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children．Their languages are easy．Or if you are good at listening，you can listen to VOA or other programs every day．Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes．If you follow these pieces of advice，your speaking and writing will improve automatically，and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect．
5．According to the author，which should you improve first among the four skills
A．Reading and listening． B．Reading and writing．
C．Writing and speaking． D．Speaking and listening．
6．To improve your reading，when you read，you should ．
A．look up all the new words in the dictionary
B．think about what you are reading actively
C．spend more time studying grammar
D．copy as many words and sentences as possible
7．What does the underlined word “encounter” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Meet by accident． B．Wind up．
C．Lose on purpose． D．Look for．
8．Which of the following may the author agree with
A．Everyone should listen to VOA or other programs every day．
B．You needn't practice listening if you keep in reading every day．
C．Being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening．
D．You should take notes of whatever you are hearing．

Enjoy the food
In Britain，we're familiar with Chinese food—or at least，a Westernized version of it．By learning the Chinese language，you'll start to understand exactly what all of those words on the menu mean．In time，you might feel more comfortable ordering something that's a little bit less familiar． 5 ．
