Ⅲ.阅读理解(15分)
In the US, speaking more than one language fluently(流利地) isn't very common—except in Los Angeles, California.
The city has one of the largest populations in the US of young people between the ages of 18 and 34. This generation is often called millennials (千禧一代). More than half of millennials in Los Angeles are bilingual(双语的).
When Maria Burgos came to the US from Mexico, she learned English. She knew her children would learn English quickly. So she wanted them to speak Spanish at home and study the language at school. She says being bilingual will give them more chances in the future.
The US Census Bureau(人口统计局) says more than half the adults in the Los Angeles area between 18 and 34 years old speak a language other than English at home. For the whole country, the number of bilingual adults is only 25 percent.
“The number of bilingual speakers has gone up since the 1990s. At the same time, the number of foreign-born millennials has gone down. In other words, more people in the US are learning a second language at home or in school. Many immigrant(移民) parents are passing their native languages to their American-born children，” says University of California Los Angeles Professor Raul Hinojosa.
Mr Hinojosa says in the past, the children and grandchildren of immigrants did not continue to speak the parents' native language. But now the opposite is true. In the last ten years, more immigrant parents say they want their children to keep speaking their native language. Mr Hinojosa calls their choice the“path of pride”.
Raul Hinojosa says the decision to keep a native language is clear in Los Angeles now. And, as the number of minorities(少数民族) in the US continues to grow, he thinks bilingualism will spread to the rest of the country.
(　　)21.In the US, ________ the adults can speak more than one language fluently now.
A.more than half of
B.half of
C.more than a quarter of
D.only a quarter of
(　　)22.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.Maria Burgos could speak Spanish.
B.Maria Burgos learned to speak English.
C.Maria Burgos only wanted her children to speak Spanish.
D.Maria Burgos wanted her children to speak Spanish and English.
(　　)23.What is the advantage of keeping one's native language?
A.Better communication with friends.
B.Better understanding of the culture of the US.
C.Having more chances to find jobs.
D.Not forgetting about their forefather(祖先).
(　　)24.According to the passage, we can know ________.
A.immigrants' children like to speak their native language
B.most immigrants take pride in their native language
C.the number of immigrants is becoming smaller
D.most immigrants hate their native language
(　　)25.What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Should Immigrants Keep Their Native Language?
B.Does Los Angeles Have Most Immigrants?
C.Will the US Become a Bilingual Country?
D.Do Millennials Like Their Native Language?

Ⅵ.One possible version：
Great changes have taken place in our studies since our school began to carry on exploring learning strategies.
In the past, teachers kept on explaining the language point in class. We students just listened and took some notes. So we didn't have enough time to think about the problems by ourselves. We had to do much homework after class. But now teachers show the problems to us first, and then we discuss them for a while in pairs or groups. We try to find out the ways of solving problems, through which we've learnt how to work with others. After class, we can have different activities. For example, we can read books we like, go to library or surf the Internet for useful information and so on.
In a word, now we are the owners of our study and we're happy.
