第二部分 语言知识运用（共15小题；每小题1分，共15分）
阅读短文，从短文后各题所给的三个选项（A、B和C）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
There are two types of questions that we can ask to improve our reading skills.
The first type of question helps us check our understanding of the text. This includes the 5W+1H questions (what, where, when, who, why, and how), as well as yes-no questions. Only one correct answer exists for this type of question.
The second type makes us think more deeply about the text. For example, these questions might ask about the author’s intention, the reader’s opinions, or how the text relates to life. These questions are typically broader (更宽泛), harder to answer, and have kinds of correct answers.
So, how do you ask questions to improve your reading skills
Begin by looking at the article’s title and the illustrations (配图). Based on these, ask yourself what the text might be about.
As you read, pose the 5W+1H questions and try to answer them. Note any question you’re unable to answer. Decide whether you need to reread a passage or move forward in your reading in order to answer those questions.
After reading, ask yourself questions that connect ideas in the article to the real world and to your personal experience.
( )1. The main purpose of the passage above is ________.
A. to encourage you to read more books
B. to help you find out the right steps to read a text
C. to remind you to ask questions in proper ways in class
D. to teach you how to improve your reading skills by asking questions
( )2. In terms of question type, which of the four questions is different from the other three
A. Where is your school B. What do you think of your school
C. When does your school library open D. How many teachers are there in your school
( )3. According to the passage, which of the following is the most suitable as a question to ask yourself after reading
A. What’s an AI chat robot B. When was the city library built
C. How can I make my dream come true D. Why is money management an important skill
B
Never too old to learn
活到老学到老
Very few of us become smooth in another language by studying it in high school.
I went to university and then moved across the country, had a hard job, married and raised children. I made an effort to keep the little bit of French that I learned in school, but finally realized that this was pointless. I fully realized that new languages are best learned when young, and that our abilities in that regard go down with age.
However, just before my 50th birthday, I signed up for French classes. After I was tested to see which group I belonged in, I was placed at almost the starting level. When I looked around at my first Saturday morning class, I was struck by how many of the students were learning French as a third, fourth, or even fifth language. I used to think it was impossible to learn a new language, but some people can learn them easily. I discovered that some language skills weaken as we get older.
While I’d always thought of myself as a quick learner, that was no longer the case. I learned new words very slowly. What I learned one week seemed to slip away as soon as I learned the next skill. I looked up the same words and language structures over and over again.
Now, a couple of years in, I can listen to the news in French and catch 90 percent of it on the first try, read a novel if the language is not too difficult, and hold up my end of a conversation if it doesn’t go too fast.
I can still achieve many things, who knows what
I’ve learned so much beyond grammar and vocabulary. I’ve met people from around the world and all walks of life who have the courage to make fools of themselves in order to learn something new. I’ve been taught by patient teachers from many corners of the world, including France, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean and Africa.
Listening to the news as it is presented to the people of France, I have a new understanding of how something can look completely different from another view. I’ve learned that a language is not just a set of words, but a way of thinking.
But most of all, I’ve learned that it really is never too late to learn something new.
( )4. What surprised the writer about the other students in their French class
A. They were all beginners.
B. They were all older than the writer.
C. They were all learning French as a second language.
D. They were all learning French as a third, fourth, or fifth language.
( )5. How did the writer used to feel about learning a new language
A. It was easy for everyone. B. It was impossible for everyone.
C. It was easy for some people. D. It was impossible for the writer.
( )6. What did the writer find difficult about learning a new language
A. Remembering new words. B. Understanding grammar.
C. Speaking with native speakers. D. Reading scientific novels.
( )7. Why did the writer believe it’s better to learn a language at a young age
A. It is easier for young people to memorize new vocabulary.
B. Old people are less patient with themselves to learn new things.
C. Our abilities to learn a language go down with age.
D. Young people are more motivated to learn new languages.
C
Normally you learn English by reading textbooks, listening to tapes and having conversations with partners. Have you ever tried any new ways Now they can make your English learning more fun.
This iPhone app is great for training your listening skills, with all kinds of radio programs and talk shows at your finger tips. For example, if you are a basketball fan, you can find talk shows from US basketball experts on the app. Of course they speak great American English. Interest is the best teacher. You can find something you like on the app and have fun.
Fun Dubbing includes videos like the hottest American TV shows, movies and songs. You can dub（配音）the videos to learn English. In this way you can improve your listening as well as your spoken English. At the same time, the app can translate some words you don’t know. You can increase your vocabulary（词汇）. The app increases the joy in learning a language.
The app Baicizhan helps you divide the work into a daily task. For example, to learn all the words of junior high, you need to spend about 10 minutes memorizing 15 words a day for 3 months. Instead of showing the Chinese and English meaning of new words, you will learn words with pictures and sentences. Thus, memorizing the words becomes a pleasure.
( )8. What can you improve by using the app Fun Dubbing
A. Listening, speaking and writing. B. Grammar, writing and vocabulary.
C. Listening, grammar and reading. D. Listening, speaking and vocabulary.
( )9. How can the app Baicizhan help you remember words
A. By dubbing the videos. B. By helping you memorize words for a long time.
C. By letting you connect the word with the picture. D. By showing you the Chinese and English meaning.
( )10. Why does the writer introduce these three apps to us
A. To share his ways of learning English with us. B. To help us learn English in an interesting way.
C. To make these 3 apps popular among learners. D. To make your English learning more boring.
( )11. Where can you probably read this passage
A. In an English newspaper. B. In a storybook.
C. In a science novel. D. In a traveling diary.
D
① A tree has roots (根). People have roots, too. If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It’s the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unknown word and you will understand where it came from.
② As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives (侦探) who are just looking for information to unlock the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge (判断) the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.
③ As you know, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes (后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key. Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective.
④ Let’s look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it
● If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying. ● If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday. ● If you have no alternative, you have no other choice.
⑤ Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your “rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back.
( )12. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to (所指)
A. The situation. B. The crime scene.
C. A new and difficult word. D. Everything that is known.
( )13. How does the writer explain his ideas about root words
A. By giving a fact. B. By taking an example.
C. By telling a story. D. By having a discussion.
( )14. “Sen” from the Latin word means “old”. Which word uses this Latin root
A. My brother is my senior by two years. B. He was ill so he was absent from school.
C. A criminal was sentenced to death by law. D. 60 students were present at the sports meeting.
( )15. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the text
A. B. C. D.

【分析】一般情况下，学生们学习的方式都是在教室里认真听老师讲课，但这不是学习的唯一方式。这篇短文中作者讲述了学生们如何自学，在学习上取得成功。
11. 句意：学生们坐在教室里听老师讲课。friends朋友们；teachers老师们；workers工人们；parents家长们。根据上句话In class teachers teach them.可知，在课堂上，老师教学生，由此可知学生们听老师讲课。故选B。
12. 句意：这是学习的一种方式。learning学习；teaching教；playing玩；thinking思考，想。根据下文Is this the 13 way for students to learn something Of course not. There is 14 way to learn可知，这里说的是学习的方式，故应选A。
13. 句意：这是学生们学习东西的唯一方式吗？first第一；second第二；last最后；only唯一。根据下文Of course not. There is 14 way to learn提到了另外的学习方式，因此上文提到的学生们听老师讲课并不是学习的唯一方式。故应选D。
14. 句意：还有另外一种学习的方式。another 不定数目中的另一个；the other两者中的另一个；others其他人或物；other其他的。根据文意可知，上文提到了学生们学习的一种方式，而这里学生自学是另外一种学习的方式，故应选A。
15. 句意：例如，当你做作业的时候，你想不起来某件事了，你可以看书来寻找答案。before在…之前；after在…之后；when当…时候；because因为。根据句意可知，应该是“在做作业的时候，遇到了问题”，故应选C。
16. 句意：例如，当你做作业的时候，你想不起来某件事了，你可以看书来寻找答案。words单词；sentences句子；answers答案，回答；pictures图片。根据句意if you can’t remember something可知，这里指找到问题的答案。故应选C。
17. 句意：这不是一件困难的事。easy容易的；difficult困难的；boring无聊的，厌烦的；interesting有趣的。根据下句话We can do this at any place and at any time.可知，自学在任何地点、任何时间都可以做到，所以这不是一件难事。故选B。
18. 句意：你必须做的第一件事是阅读。writing写作；speaking说；listening听；reading读，阅读。根据下句话Read something you are 19 in, or you have to read可知，这第一件事是阅读，故应选C。
19. 句意：读一些你感兴趣的东西，或者你必须读的东西。interested 感兴趣的；excited激动的，兴奋的；interesting令人感兴趣的；exciting令人激动的。这里考查固定短语be interested in…“对…感兴趣”，故应选A。
20. 句意：问题是有些东西你不理解，或者是你想了解得更多。and和，而且；but 但是，表示转折；so因此，所以；or或者。根据句意可知，这里表示选择，…或者…，故应选D。
21. 句意：一个聪明的学生通常擅长问问题。dishonest 不诚实的；clever聪明的；lazy懒惰的；kind和蔼的，善良的。根据句意…good at asking questions可知，擅长问问题的学生是聪明的学生，故选B合适。
22. 句意：第三是通过努力思考、阅读课文，有时候是通过问别人，自己来回答问题。first第一；second第二；third第三；fourth第四。上文The first thing you must do is 18 . …The second is that you must ask yourself questions提到了第一和第二，因此这里是第三，故选C。
23. 句意：第三是通过努力思考、阅读课文，有时候是通过问别人，自己来回答问题。sometimes有时候；only仅仅，只；never从不；seldom很少，几乎不。根据句意可知，这里表示解决问题的方式，有的时候需要别人的帮助，故应选A。
24. 句意：如果你长时间坚持这样做，你在学习上一定能成功。to do去做，动词不定式；doing动名词；do动词原形；to doing介词to后跟动名词。空前动词是keep，常用于句型keep doing sth.坚持做某事，继续做某事，因此这里用动名词形式，选B。
25. 句意：如果你长时间坚持这样做，你在学习上一定能成功。sure确信的，确定的；afraid害怕的；surely当然，无疑地，副词；worried担心的。根据句意可知，这里表示“一定能…”，空前是be动词的形式，这里应用形容词，故选A。be sure to do sth.一定能…。
【点睛】这篇短文讲述的是学生们如何自学。短文主题明确，层次清晰，内容贴近学生们的日常生活，比较容易理解。题型是完形填空，考查学生们在具体语境中运用语言的能力，综合性较强。做题时，应先通读短文，了解大意；然后根据上下文的语境做题，注意空前后的固定搭配，并仔细辨析选项中四个单词的意思和用法；最后将答案代入原文，再读一遍，检查答案是否正确。例如第2小题，考查动名词辨析，根据下文Is this the 13 way for students to learn something Of course not. There is 14 way to learn可知，这里说的是学习的方式，故应选A。再如第12小题，考查文章逻辑和序数词辨析，first第一；second第二；third第三；fourth第四。上文The first thing you must do is 18 . …The second is that you must ask yourself questions提到了第一和第二，因此这里是第三，故选C。

Tips to Improve English Listening Skills
As an English learner, is your English listening skill progressing well If it is still posing a problem, maybe the following tips can give you some help.
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for almost all leaners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen, and that means as often as possible.
When you begin to listen, do not translate into your native language. When you translate into your native language, you are taking the focus of your attention away from the speaker and concentrating (集中注意力) on the translation process taking place in your brain. Translation leads to a mental (精神的) block in your brain. It sometimes doesn’t allow you to understand anything at all.
Most of people repeat themselves. Think for a moment about your friends, family, and your teachers. When they speak in their native tongue, do they repeat themselves If they are like most people, they probably do. That means that whenever you listen to someone speaking, it is very likely that they will repeat the information, giving you a second, third or even fourth chance to understand what has been said.
Use key words or key phrases to help you understand the general (大致的) ideas. If you understand “New York”, “business trip”, “last year”, you can think that the person is speaking about a business trip to New York last year. This may seem obvious (明显的，显然的) to you, but remember that understanding the general idea will help you to understand the detail (细节) as the person continues to speak.
Listen for context. Let’s imagine that your English speaking friend says, “I bought this great tuner at JR’s. It was really cheap and now I can finally listen to National Public Radiobroadcasts.” You don’t understand what a tuner is, and if you focus on the word “tuner” , you might become frustrated. If you think in context, you probably will begin to understand. For example, bought is the past of buy, listen is no problem and radio is obvious. Now you understand, he bought something—the tuner—to listen to the radio. A tuner must be a kind of radio. This is a simple example but it demonstrates what you need to focus on. Not the word that you don’t understand, but the words you do understand.
( )1. According to the passage, what is a possible way to understand the general ideas
A. To know the key information.
B. To get more detailed information.
C. To understand all the information.
D. To remember the repetitive information.
( )2. What can we learn from the passage
A. Translating creates a road between the listener and the speaker.
B. It is difficult to get the key information while listening to the materials.
C. It is useless to make a prediction about the words people don’t understand.
D. Saying what has been said again can help people understand the information.
( )3. The word “demonstrates” in Paragraph 6 probably means “__________” .
A. creates continuously B. shows clearly
C. keeps it a secret of D. studies carelessly on
1. A 2. D 3. B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了提高英语听力的技巧。
1. 细节理解题。根据第五段“Use key words or key phrases to help you understand the general ideas.”可知，通过使用关键词或关键短语来帮助理解大意。故选A。
2. 细节理解题，根据第四段“That means that whenever you listen to someone speaking, it is very likely that they will repeat the information, giving you a second, third or even fourth chance to understand what has been said.”可知，重复信息则会给你多次机会去理解他们说的话，所以重复已经说过的话可以帮助人们理解信息。故选D。
3. 词义猜测题。根据最后一段“Not the word that you don’t understand, but the words you do understand.”可知，你需要关注的内容不是你不懂的词，而是你懂的词，此处表示“清晰地展示”，demonstrate表示“证明”。故选B。

Never too old to learn
活到老学到老
Very few of us become smooth in another language by studying it in high school.
I went to university and then moved across the country, had a hard job, married and raised children. I made an effort to keep the little bit of French that I learned in school, but finally realized that this was pointless. I fully realized that new languages are best learned when young, and that our abilities in that regard go down with age.
However, just before my 50th birthday, I signed up for French classes. After I was tested to see which group I belonged in, I was placed at almost the starting level. When I looked around at my first Saturday morning class, I was struck by how many of the students were learning French as a third, fourth, or even fifth language. I used to think it was impossible to learn a new language, but some people can learn them easily. I discovered that some language skills weaken as we get older.
While I’d always thought of myself as a quick learner, that was no longer the case. I learned new words very slowly. What I learned one week seemed to slip away as soon as I learned the next skill. I looked up the same words and language structures over and over again.
Now, a couple of years in, I can listen to the news in French and catch 90 percent of it on the first try, read a novel if the language is not too difficult, and hold up my end of a conversation if it doesn’t go too fast.
I can still achieve many things, who knows what
I’ve learned so much beyond grammar and vocabulary. I’ve met people from around the world and all walks of life who have the courage to make fools of themselves in order to learn something new. I’ve been taught by patient teachers from many corners of the world, including France, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean and Africa.
Listening to the news as it is presented to the people of France, I have a new understanding of how something can look completely different from another view. I’ve learned that a language is not just a set of words, but a way of thinking.
But most of all, I’ve learned that it really is never too late to learn something new.
( )4. What surprised the writer about the other students in their French class
A. They were all beginners.
B. They were all older than the writer.
C. They were all learning French as a second language.
D. They were all learning French as a third, fourth, or fifth language.
( )5. How did the writer used to feel about learning a new language
A. It was easy for everyone. B. It was impossible for everyone.
C. It was easy for some people. D. It was impossible for the writer.
( )6. What did the writer find difficult about learning a new language
A. Remembering new words. B. Understanding grammar.
C. Speaking with native speakers. D. Reading scientific novels.
( )7. Why did the writer believe it’s better to learn a language at a young age
A. It is easier for young people to memorize new vocabulary.
B. Old people are less patient with themselves to learn new things.
C. Our abilities to learn a language go down with age.
D. Young people are more motivated to learn new languages.
4. D 5. D 6. A 7. C

7. 细节理解题。根据第三段“I discovered that some language skills weaken as we get older.”可知，随着年龄的增长，我们学习语言的能力也在衰退。故选C。

D
① A tree has roots (根). People have roots, too. If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It’s the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unknown word and you will understand where it came from.
② As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives (侦探) who are just looking for information to unlock the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge (判断) the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.
③ As you know, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes (后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key. Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective.
④ Let’s look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it
● If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying. ● If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday. ● If you have no alternative, you have no other choice.
⑤ Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your “rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back.
( )12. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to (所指)
A. The situation. B. The crime scene.
C. A new and difficult word. D. Everything that is known.
( )13. How does the writer explain his ideas about root words
A. By giving a fact. B. By taking an example.
C. By telling a story. D. By having a discussion.
( )14. “Sen” from the Latin word means “old”. Which word uses this Latin root
A. My brother is my senior by two years. B. He was ill so he was absent from school.
C. A criminal was sentenced to death by law. D. 60 students were present at the sports meeting.
( )15. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the text
A. B. C. D.
【答案】1. C 3. B 4. A 5. C
【导语】本文主要讲述了在语言学习中，词根学习的重要性。
1. 词句猜测题。根据第②段“Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge (判断) the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.”可知，当遇到一个新的和困难的单词时，首先要做的是判断情况，看看所有已知的东西，看看它是否有助于我们理解它的意思。所以it指的是新的困难的单词。故选C。
3. 推理判断题。根据第④段“Let’s look at one common root word used in English. ‘Alter’ from the Latin word means ‘other’. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with ‘other’. Examine the word ‘alternate’.”可知，作者通过举例子来解释他对词根的理解。故选B。
4. 推理判断题。根据题干中“‘Sen’ from the Latin word means ‘old’”（“Sen”来自拉丁词，意思是“old”。）可知，A项中，我哥哥比我大两岁。senior一词用到了词根“Sen”。故选A。
5. 篇章结构题。分析文章内容可知，第①段引出主题；第②③④段分别介绍应对文本时需要注意的东西以及前后缀和词根的问题；第⑤段总结。故选C。

【答案】例文
Dear Sam,
How time flies! It’s time for us to say goodbye.
During the past three years, you have given me so much help in English that I can’t thank you too much.
I still remember three years ago, I had difficulty in learning English. It was difficult for me to memorize so many words and understand what people were saying. My spoken English and written English were poor, too. However, I’m lucky that I met you, a kind hearted, smart and patient boy. Firstly, you taught me to listen and read more. And they really helped me a lot. Besides, you suggested that I should watch English movies and sing classical English songs. In addition, you told me to form the habit of reading aloud in the morning and reading novels before going to bed. As a result, I finally made great progress.
Thank you for all your help and best wishes to you.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
