二、阅读理解。
Many Chinese students who have learnt English for more than ten years are still unable to speak English fluently when they meet a foreigner. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.
It’s uncommon that many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to organize their idea in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and confidence.
Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those foreigners with whom you are speaking? Don’t be shy, they will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of trouble is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that constant practice will help you succeed.

Some British and American people like to invite friends for a meal at home. But you should not be upset (难受的) if your English friends don't invite you home. It doesn't mean they don't like you!
Dinner parties usually start between 7 and 8 p.m., and end at about 11. Ask your hosts what time you should arrive. It's polite to bring flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine as a gift.
Usually the evening starts with drinks and snacks(小吃). Do you want to be more polite? Say how much you like the room, or the picture on the wall. But remember—it’s not polite to ask how much things cost.
In many families, the husband sits at one end of the table and the wife sits at the other end. They eat with their guests.
You'll probably start the meal with soup or something small, then you'll have meat or fish with vegetables, and then dessert, followed by coffee. It's polite to finish everything on your plate and to take more if you want it.
Did you enjoy the evening? Call your hosts the next day, or write them a short thank you letter. British and American people like to say “ Thank you, thank you, thank you.” all the time!

A teacher stood in front of his history class of twenty students just before handing out the final exam. His students sat quietly and waited for him to speak.
“It’s been a pleasure teaching you this term,” he said. “You’ve all worked very hard, so I have a pleasant surprise for you. Everyone who chooses not to take the final exam will get a ‘B’ for the course.”
Most of the students jumped out of their seats. They thanked the teacher happily, and walked out of the classroom. Only a few students stayed. The teacher looked at them. “This is your last chance,” he said. “Does anyone else want to leave?” All the students there stayed in their seats and took out their pencils.

答案与解析
一、单项选择。
1-5 CBBDA 6-10CDCBD
1. C【解析】译文：Vivi Mac，一名来自法国的了不起的艺术家，能够使用几乎任何食物创造艺术。
2. B【解析】译文：根据瓶子上的说明，这个药应该每天服用三次，饭后服用。instructions的意思除了“指示”，还有“说明”的意思。
3. B【解析】译文：黛西与她的朋友经常骑自行车上学。该句中go使用一般现在时取决于often，使用第三人称单数，是因为主语是Daisy。而with her friends是介词短语，不影响谓语动词的单复数。后面的on a bike是介词短语，作状语。
4. D【解析】译文：百分之九十的父母说他们对于孩子的教养方式与他们父母那辈的教养孩子方式有很大不同。此处that指代the way。
5. A【解析】译文：当他回来，他脸上失望的表情表明他不喜欢那份新工作。空格处的意思是感到失望的，故使用disappointed。
6. C【解析】译文：人类如何学会发明单词还是未知。换句话说，语言的起源是一个谜。
7. D【解析】当夏天来临时，他们会邀请他们的学生来采摘蔬菜。时间状语从句中谓语动词come使用一般现在时，表示将来。
8. C【解析】译文：他深受学生欢迎，因为他总是试图使他们对他的讲座感兴趣。空格处所填词的意思是“感兴趣的”，因此选interested。
9. B【解析】译文：我不确定汤姆明天是否来派对。如果他来，我就打电话给你。第一句从句中因为tomorrow，所以come使用一般将来时。第二句的come使用一般现在时，是因为在if引导的条件状语从句中，谓语动词使用一般现在时表示将来。
10. D【解析】译文：由于缺乏文化理解，他们彼此很难相处融洽。comprehension的意思为理解。
