你是我的唯一
说话像一个好莱坞屏幕上的明星
她向我低语
我听到这句话，但是我不知道她
是什么意思
哦，她说美式英语
哦，总是不理解
虽然她说美式英语
爱的语言
由她掌控
爱跨大西洋
我困惑于她的话语
不能理解她的语义
但是，她的身体动作对我来说很
明显
哦，她说美式英语
哦，总是不理解
虽然她说美式英语
爱的语言
由她掌控
我们不需要言语
表达什么是真实
我们彼此拥有
这就是我们的感觉
有太多的困惑
所有这些话语在脑海里绕了
一圈又一圈
我们会得出自己的结论
我们将连接在共同点
哦，她说美式英语
哦，总是不理解
虽然她说美式英语
爱的语言
由她掌控

Exploring Languages Around the World
To some students, it seems that the only foreign language to learn is English．There are, however, nearly 7，000 languages in the world．After Chinese, the language with the most native language speakers isn’t English—it’s Spanish．Learning English is very useful, but it is wise to learn at least one other foreign language, if possible．
There are many reasons why people learn a foreign language．Many students choose to study one of the languages that are spoken at the UN．As they think it means better job chances in the future．The UN has six official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish．They are spoken by around 2．8 billion people as their native or second language．
Some students, though, choose to study a language because of family or friends．One American girl chose to learn Danish because her grandparents were from Denmark．When she was little, her grandpa used to read letters to her in Danish from their relatives in Denmark．Another young lady started learning French because she had several friends from African countries where French is spoken．
What do you think? Which other language would you choose to study and why?
Listen to the speech again and answer the questions．

答案：It_is_mainly_about_languages_around_the_world.
2．How many languages are there in the world?

My name is Lwazi Nzimande．I started my schooling at Thukeyana Primary Farm School in Underberg, KwaZulu-Natal．
I had a favourite teacher in primary school．Her name was Miss Dube．She taught me natural science and human and social sciences in grade six and seven, and had a way of pushing learners to be able to think for themselves．She made sure that each and every learner took part in every lesson．She used pictures, diagrams(图表) and other things to make learning easier and more unforgettable, moving at a pace that was suitable for all students．As a teacher, she showed patience, respect, open-mindedness, and reliability(可靠性)．Now you see why she was my favourite teacher in primary school, don’t you?
In my opinion, patience, respect, open-mindedness, and reliability are some of the things that all teachers should have and show．A patient teacher is one who understands that some learners need more explanation than others to understand something in class．He or she should always be willing to help learners．An open-minded teacher will go beyond what is found in the textbook．A teacher who is respected will find it easy to control a class．Respect is earned through what a teacher says to learners or how he or she deals with them in general．
Miss Dube often told us not to bad-mouth or make fun of others．She also did so．She never bad-mouthed other teachers in front of us．Also, Miss Dube never made fun of her learners．She thought making fun of learners in front of others would hurt them and damage their confidence．
Miss Dube was also very honest．From my point of view, that’s also what a good teacher should be like．If she didn’t have an answer to a question, she would let her learners know．This set a good example to the learners．
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。Miss Dube是作者小学阶段最喜欢的老师，这是为什么呢？
4．Why was Miss Dube the author’s favourite teacher in primary school?
A．Because of her rich knowledge．
B．Because of her good appearance．
C．Because of her teaching style and character．
D．Because of her lifestyle and attitude to students．
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，本段主要介绍了Miss Dube的教学方式，又根据这一段的As a teacher, she showed patience, respect, open-mindedness, and reliability(可靠性)．Now you see why she was my favourite teacher in primary school, don’t you？可知答案。
5．What does the author think an open-minded teacher should do?
A．Pay close attention to every student’s improvement．
B．Tell about something outside the textbook．
C．Avoid believing everything in the textbook．
D．Show great respect for her students．
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的An open-minded teacher will go beyond what is found in the textbook．可知，一位思想开明的老师不会仅仅局限于课本，会讲一些课外的知识。
6．What can we learn about Miss Dube from Paragraph 4?
A．She liked praising her students．
B．She was very confident in class．
C．She got along well with other teachers．
D．She set a good example to her students．
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知，Miss Dube经常教育学生不要说别人坏话或嘲笑别人，她自己也能以身作则，从不在学生面前说别的老师的坏话，也不取笑学生，给学生树立了一个良好的榜样。
7．What does the underlined word“This”in the last paragraph mean?
A．Being a very patient teacher．
B．Answering students’ questions．
C．Being honest in front of students．
D．Teaching students very difficult things．
C 解析：代词指代题。根据末段的Miss Dube was also very honest．以及If she didn’t have an answer to a question, she would let her learners know．可知“This”是指在学生面前很诚实一事。
C
How do you refer to(指) those people, things, and experiences that are wonderful? Are they cool? Perhaps they’re rad? In the 1980s, you might have called them bad．What do all these interesting words have in common? They’re all slang(俚语) words．
The word “slang” has an interesting beginning．It began as a word in northern England that was used to refer to the land under the control of a country．Over time, it was used to refer to the people who would advertise and sell goods in special places．Eventually, slang became the term used to describe the colorful, informal speech that these salesmen used to advertise their goods．
Language develops continuously over time．New words and new meanings for old words come out as people try to express themselves in new, creative ways, both in speaking and writing．Slang allows people to be funny, clever, different, friendly, or even secretive．Over recent years, many slang words have come from three sources: popular music, politics(政治), and the Internet．Popular music, especially rap and hip hop, has led to many slang words as singers come up with increasingly creative ways to express themselves．For better or worse, some words have taken on new meanings．
Perhaps the biggest source of slang words, however, is the Internet．In today’s world, that fact should surprise no one．Whether it’s the changing nature of technology itself or a quickly-changing trend(趋势), the Internet provides ideas for new slang words more than anything else does．It also helps those words to be introduced into our minds and change our language more rapidly than ever before．Thanks to the popularity of the Internet and especially social media, a new slang word can appear and be known worldwide in a matter of weeks, if not days, rather than months or years as in the past．
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。英语中有很多俚语，它们生动有趣，富有创造性。现代俚语一般有三个来源：流行音乐、政治及互联网。
8．What do we know about the words mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．They are all very common．
B．They are all different dialects．
C．They all have the same meaning．
D．They all refer to interesting things．
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，文章给出的这几个单词都可以用来形容很棒的人、事或经历等。它们都是俚语，都有着共同的含义。
9．What do we know about slang words according to Paragraph 3?
A．They offer new ideas to singers．
B．They can show users’ creativity．
C．They are used more in speaking than in writing．
D．They give people new ways to express themselves．
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的New words and new meanings for old words come out as people try to express themselves in new, creative ways可知，人们努力用新的、创造性的方式来表达自己时，新词或旧词新意就出现了。所以，俚语也可以让人们用新的方式表达自己。
10．How is the influence of the Internet on slang words?
A．It is fast and wide． B．It is harmful．
C．It is long-lasting． D．It is indirect．
A 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者认为互联网能够使俚语迅速传播。相比起过去的几年或几个月的时间，它能够使一个新的俚语在几天内在全世界范围内迅速传播。
11．What’s the best title for the text?
A．The Power of Language
B．Where Do Slang Words Come From?
C．How Can We Correctly Use Slang Words?
D．The Influence of the Internet on Slang Words
B 解析：标题归纳题。文章主要讲述了单词slang的起源。
七选五
No one likes lies．But unfortunately, most of us ever lied to people around us．1．________Learning to be honest can help to clean up your relationships．Here are some ways to be honest with others．
Stop comparing yourself with others．2．________As we’re always comparing ourselves with others, we tend to hide our weaknesses with a quick and creative lie．If you stop feeling competitive with others and give yourself the value you deserve, you won’t feel the need to lie to bring yourself up．
Forget what you think other people want to hear from you．Speak from your heart and tell the truth．You don’t have to worry about whether or not it will make you look “bad”．3．________
Avoid situations in which you’ll have to lie to others．Be careful when someone begins a sentence with “Don’t tell so-and-so about this, okay？” 4．________For example, you can say “If it is something that doesn’t concern me, please don’t tell me．I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s secrets but my own．”
5．________You don’t have to lie if you feel good about yourself! Do things that give you pleasure and that make you feel proud of yourself．Start with some little things．Don’t do things that make you embarrassed．
A．Know your weaknesses．
B．Do things that make you proud．
C．That’s why we tell lies so often!
D．It is not a good manner, though．
E．You should be prepared for this situation．
F．People respect honesty even when the truth is uncomfortable．
G．Sometimes we lie to make ourselves seem better than we really are．
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了对他人诚实的几种方法。
1．D 解析：此空设于段中，是一个过渡句，与前一句存在逻辑上的指代关系，并引出下句中Learning to be honest．．．的观点。本句中的It指代的是上文中的lied to people around us。
2．G 解析：此空设于段中，是一个过渡句。下句中的we tend to hide our weaknesses with a quick and creative lie与we lie to make ourselves seem better than we really are相呼应，都是想表达由于喜欢攀比，我们会用谎言来使自己看起来比真实的自己好。
3．F 解析：此空设于段尾，是一个总结句。句意：即使事实不尽人意，但人们还是尊重诚实。
4．E 解析：此空设于段中，与前一句存在逻辑上的指代关系。this situation指代的是上文中的when someone begins a sentence．．．。
5．B 解析：此空设于段首，是本段主题句。下文都是围绕“做一些让你自豪的事”而展开论述的。

Perhaps the biggest source of slang words, however, is the Internet．In today’s world, that fact should surprise no one．Whether it’s the changing nature of technology itself or a quickly-changing trend(趋势), the Internet provides ideas for new slang words more than anything else does．It also helps those words to be introduced into our minds and change our language more rapidly than ever before．Thanks to the popularity of the Internet and especially social media, a new slang word can appear and be known worldwide in a matter of weeks, if not days, rather than months or years as in the past．

No one likes lies．But unfortunately, most of us ever lied to people around us．1．________Learning to be honest can help to clean up your relationships．Here are some ways to be honest with others．
Stop comparing yourself with others．2．________As we’re always comparing ourselves with others, we tend to hide our weaknesses with a quick and creative lie．If you stop feeling competitive with others and give yourself the value you deserve, you won’t feel the need to lie to bring yourself up．
Forget what you think other people want to hear from you．Speak from your heart and tell the truth．You don’t have to worry about whether or not it will make you look “bad”．3．________
Avoid situations in which you’ll have to lie to others．Be careful when someone begins a sentence with “Don’t tell so-and-so about this, okay？” 4．________For example, you can say “If it is something that doesn’t concern me, please don’t tell me．I don’t want to be responsible for anyone’s secrets but my own．”
5．________You don’t have to lie if you feel good about yourself! Do things that give you pleasure and that make you feel proud of yourself．Start with some little things．Don’t do things that make you embarrassed．
A．Know your weaknesses．
B．Do things that make you proud．
C．That’s why we tell lies so often!
D．It is not a good manner, though．
E．You should be prepared for this situation．

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了对他人诚实的几种方法。

2．G 解析：此空设于段中，是一个过渡句。下句中的we tend to hide our weaknesses with a quick and creative lie与we lie to make ourselves seem better than we really are相呼应，都是想表达由于喜欢攀比，我们会用谎言来使自己看起来比真实的自己好。
3．F 解析：此空设于段尾，是一个总结句。句意：即使事实不尽人意，但人们还是尊重诚实。
4．E 解析：此空设于段中，与前一句存在逻辑上的指代关系。this situation指代的是上文中的when someone begins a sentence．．．。
5．B 解析：此空设于段首，是本段主题句。下文都是围绕“做一些让你自豪的事”而展开论述的。

Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes? Let’s have a look．
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies．We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants(蚂蚁) in their pants．Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down．They are found doing something they should not be doing．And, in every family, one person takes control．Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do．Then we say she wears the pants in the family．
Pants usually have pockets to hold things．Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket．Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants．If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your belt．
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much．I really take my hat off to them．Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it at the drop of a hat, which means I instantly spend it．
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes．People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are．I dislike such people．My father is an important person．He runs a big company．He wears a suit and tie, and a shirt with sleeves(衣袖) that cover his arms．Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly．But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve．

Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes? Let’s have a look．
People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies．We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants(蚂蚁) in their pants．Sometimes, people may get caught with their pants down．They are found doing something they should not be doing．And, in every family, one person takes control．Sometimes a wife tells her husband what to do．Then we say she wears the pants in the family．
Pants usually have pockets to hold things．Money that is likely to be spent quickly can burn a hole in your pocket．Sometimes you need a belt to hold up your pants．If you have less money than usual, you may have to tighten your belt．
I always praise people who can save their money and not spend too much．I really take my hat off to them．Yet, when it comes to my own money, I spend it at the drop of a hat, which means I instantly spend it．
Boots are a heavy or strong kind of shoes．People who are too big for their boots think they are more important than they really are．I dislike such people．My father is an important person．He runs a big company．He wears a suit and tie, and a shirt with sleeves(衣袖) that cover his arms．Some people who do not know him well think he is too serious and never shows his feelings openly．But I know that my father wears his heart on his sleeve．

关系副词引导的定语从句
关系副词的指代及功能
关系副词
先行词
功能
when
表示时间的名词
时间状语
where
表示地点的名词
地点状语
why
reason
原因状语
1．关系副词when引导定语从句时，先行词应是表示时间的名词，关系词在从句中作时间状语。
◆I still remember the time when I first travelled by plane． 我仍然记得我第一次坐飞机旅行的时候。
◆We will never forget the year when the 29th Olympic Games were held in Beijing． 我们将永远不会忘记第29届奥运会在北京举办的那一年。
2．关系副词where引导定语从句时，先行词应是表示地点或抽象地点的名词，关系词在从句中作地点状语。
◆I’d like to live in the house where there is plenty of sunshine． 我喜欢住在那个阳光充足的房子里。
◆The house where I lived ten years ago has been pulled down． 我十年前居住的那所房子已经被拆除了。
3．关系副词why引导定语从句时，先行词常常为reason，关系词在从句中作原因状语。
◆I don’t know the reason why he didn’t turn to his good friend for help yesterday．
我不知道昨天他为什么没向他的好朋友求助。
◆Can you tell me the reason why you didn’t come to his birthday party?
你能告诉我你没参加他的生日宴会的原因吗？
表示时间、地点及原因的名词作先行词时，定语从句可用关系代词引导，也可用关系副词引导。若先行词在定语从句中作状语，应用关系副词；若先行词在定语从句中作主语或宾语，则应用关系代词。试比较：
◆Do you remember the days when we chatted with each other all night？ 你还记得我们整夜聊天的那些日子吗？(when在从句中作状语)
◆Do you remember the days that/which we spent together on the farm？ 你还记得我们在农场一起度过的那些日子吗？(that或which在从句中作spent的宾语)
◆The reason why/for which you failed was that you had not followed your mother’s advice．
你失败的原因是你没有听你母亲的忠告。(定语从句中缺少状语，所以用why或for which, why作原因状语)
◆I won’t listen to the reason that/which you have given us．
我坚决不听你给我们提供的那个理由。(定语从句中缺少宾语，所以用that/which，不用why)
[即时演练1]——对比填空：that, which, when, where, why
①I will never forget the days that/which we spent together．
②I will never forget the days when we stayed together．
③The reason that/which he explained at the meeting was not sound．
④The reason why he was late was that he missed his train．
⑤Keep the book in a place where you can find it easily．
⑥This is the house which/that was built by my grandfather forty years ago．
“介词＋关系代词”引导的定语从句
当关系代词在定语从句中作介词的宾语时，我们通常用“介词＋关系代词”引导定语从句。如果指“人”，用“介词＋whom”；如果指“物”，用“介词＋which”；关系代词有时也用whose(作定语)。
选用介词的依据：
1．根据定语从句中谓语动词的搭配习惯(即固定短语)。
◆Yesterday we visited the West Lake for which Hangzhou is famous． 昨天我们参观了西湖，杭州因其而出名。(be famous for．．．因……而出名)
2．根据先行词的搭配习惯(约定俗成，不一定是短语)。
◆This is the camera with which he often takes photos．
这就是他经常用来拍照的相机。(with camera用照相机)
◆The old woman with whom you talked just now is a famous artist． 刚才和你们说话的老太太是一位著名的艺术家。(talk with sb．和某人谈话)
3．根据句子的意思来选择。
◆My computer, without which I can’t surf the Internet，broke down yesterday．
昨天我的电脑坏了，没有它我不能网上冲浪。
4．表示“所有”关系或“整体中的一部分”时，通常用介词of。
◆I have ten books, half of which were written by Mo Yan．
我有10本书，其中一半是莫言写的。
◆The old man has two sons, both of whom are lawyers．
这位老人有两个儿子，他们两个都是律师。
在定语从句中，有一些含介词的动词短语不可拆开使用，如look after, look for等不能把介词移至which或whom之前。
◆The babies whom the nurses are looking after are very healthy．(正)
◆The babies after whom the nurses are looking are very healthy．(误)

A
I never wanted to go to kindergarten(幼儿园), or leave home at all．I spent my first five years within the loving arms of my family, and when the time came for me to begin school at PS 116 in Brooklyn, I was sure that no one would keep me safe．But I was so lucky to meet Mrs．Heyman．Not only did she make me feel safe, but also she let me know that I was special．
Kindergarten was a fearful experience for me．I was a shy child who hated being separated from my mommy．Mrs．Heyman was a kind and patient teacher who tried to get me to stop crying each morning after I asked for one last kiss．
She would distract(转移……的注意力) me with pens and colorful papers and by playing beautiful music．It seemed the feeling of being an artist distracted me from my separation unhappiness, allowing me to attend class as the tears ran down my face．I also loved to sing and dance, and performed(表演) the Virginia reel—a kind of dance—when the principal(校长), Mr．Barton, visited our class．
Mr．Barton was an old, serious man who liked to walk behind children who behaved badly and shout, “Behave！” I was afraid of being shouted at by him, and practised the dance with my classmates until Mrs．Heyman told us we were perfect．
Unluckily, I was so nervous before Mr．Barton’s visit that I wet myself．Mrs．Heyman calmly took me to the bathroom and told me to change into new clothes, drying my tears all the while, never showing judgment．
As I performed, Mr．Barton cheered．Pleased, I bravely stepped up to the front of the classroom and threw kisses in Mrs．Heyman’s direction．
I was lucky to have her again for the first grade, and learned to love school and learning．She was right about living my life without long-lasting attention from my mommy．

第一节(共16小题；每小题2．5分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
When I was 16 years old, I made my first visit to the United States．It wasn’t the first time I had been abroad．Like most English children, I learned French at school and I had often been to France, so I was used to speaking a foreign language to people who didn’t understand English．But when I went to America I was really looking forward to having a nice easy holiday without any language problems．
How wrong I was! The misunderstanding began at the airport．I was looking for a public telephone to give my friend Danny a ring and tell her that I had arrived．A friendly old man saw me looking like being lost and asked if he could help me．
“Yes, ” I said．“I want to give my friend a ring．”
“Well, that’s nice, ” he said．“Are you getting married? But aren’t you a bit young？”
“Who is talking about marriage？” I replied．“I just want to give my friend a ring to tell her I’ve arrived．Can you tell me where there’s a phone box？”
“Oh！” he said．“There’s a phone downstairs．”
When at last we did meet, Danny explained the misunderstanding to me．
“Don’t worry, ” she said to me．“I had many difficulties at first too．There are lots of words which the Americans use differently in meaning from us British．You’ll soon get used to all the funny things they say．But most of the time British and American people can understand each other！”

B
School girl Lorna O’Brien was in her kitchen when she looked out of the window and was terrified(惊恐的) at what she saw．“Help！” she shouted．“There’s smoke and fire coming out of the kitchen window opposite．”
Her father, John, ran across to the house while her 15-year-old brother Paul called the fire service．Lorna, 16, rushed across and caught up with her dad, who had just kicked open the front door．They looked upstairs where they saw smoke coming out of the top flat．Lorna followed her father into the flat, where they found a pan(平底锅) on fire in the kitchen and the young mother, Mane Linn, who had been asleep, passed out(失去意识) in the smoke-blackened sitting room．Lorna’s dad threw a wet cloth over the pan and then turned off the stove(炉子) before starting to help Mane through the smoke down the stairs to safety．
Suddenly Mane started crying，“My baby, my baby！”“Where’s the baby？”asked Lorna．“In the bedroom，” Mane shouted back．While John pulled the crying mother from the house, Lorna, without a thought for her own safety, turned back to search for the baby．She found the little girl, 14-month-old Ann, lying with her eyes closed．
Lorna quickly took the baby, rushed downstairs through the fire and smoke．“It didn’t cross my mind at the time that I was near to dying when I rushed through the smoke，” said Lorna．“I was just thinking of the baby．Even after I came out of the house, I wasn’t frightened．”
When help arrived, baby Ann and her mum were taken to the hospital for treatment．It was only when Lorna got back into the safety of her own house that she realised the danger she had faced．“I started shaking all over and thought of what could have happened to me，” she said．
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。女孩儿偶然间发现邻居家里着火了，她不顾自身安危，与父亲一起将邻居母女救出失火房屋。
25．What did Lorna’s dad choose to do first when he entered the flat?
A．Put out the fire． B．Turn off the stove．
C．Open the windows． D．Help Mane downstairs．
A 解析：细节理解题。由第二段中的They looked upstairs．．．down the stairs to safety．可知，Lorna的父亲进入失火公寓之后，首先扑灭了火源。
26．What was the cause of the fire?
A．Mane fell asleep while cooking．
B．Ann was careless when playing with fire．
C．Mane suddenly passed out while cooking．
D．There was something wrong with the stove．
A 解析：推理判断题。由第二段中的they found a pan(平底锅)．．．smoke-blackened sitting room可知，厨房的平底锅着火了，而Mane在客厅睡着了，并因浓烟失去了意识。因此可推断，Mane因在做饭时睡着而导致平底锅着火。
27．Which of the following can best describe Lorna when she saved the baby?
A．Careful． B．Patient．
C．Brave． D．Clever．
C 解析：推理判断题。由第三段中的Lorna, without a thought for her own safety, turned back to search for the baby．和第四段中的It didn’t cross my mind at the time that I was near to dying when I rushed through the smoke可知，Lorna救孩子时非常勇敢，一刻也没有想到自己的安危。
28．How did Lorna feel after returning to her house?
A．Worried． B．Frightened．
C．Proud． D．Relaxed．
B 解析：细节理解题。由最后一段中的It was only when．．．she had faced以及Lorna所说的话可知，Lorna安全回到自己家之后才意识到救人时她面临了很大的危险，并对可能出现的严重后果感到害怕，全身颤抖。
C
Language is born of culture and in turn reflects(反映) the history of a culture．This is clear when we compare English in Britain, the United States and Australia．
Of the three dialects, British English has the most confusing(令人困惑的) grammar and spelling rules．This is probably because the development of English has been under the control of the upper class．The modern English language came into being(诞生) in the 18th century．The upper class who spoke French wanted to show their influence and make themselves different from the uneducated working people．In other words, British English reflects the British character with class．
The US dialect is generally recognized as the easiest to understand．Compared with British English, its spelling is more connected with its pronunciation．And its grammatical rules are much easier to follow．What’s more, its words are simpler to pronounce．For foreigners, it’s much easier to learn．That’s why American English is more popular in the world．
The reason why American English is simpler than British English is connected with its special history．British English was mainly influenced by the upper class．But American upper class didn’t exist when American English was born．American English was based on the dialects spoken by working people from different countries．So the formation of American English was based on a rule to help all the working people with different cultural backgrounds communicate more easily．
Australian English is different from British and American English．It is the most vulgar(粗俗的) of the three．Actually it has a tendency to show its invention, disrespect and humor．At times, this can make it almost impossible to understand and quite impolite to some educated speakers．That is partly connected with special identity of the early settlers．
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，讲述的是一国语言能反映出一个国家文化的历史。
29．Why is British English more confusing than American English?
A．Because it was influenced by the upper class．
B．Because English people are more educated．
C．Because it was totally created by Frenchmen．
D．Because England was more powerful in the past．
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的Of the three dialects, British English has the most confusing(令人困惑的) grammar and spelling rules．This is probably because the development of English has been under the control of the upper class．可知，是因为英式英语的发展受到上流社会的控制。
30．American English is more popular than British English worldwide because ________．
A．it has fewer words
B．the US has a shorter history
C．the US has a larger population
D．it is easier to learn for foreigners
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的Compared with British English, its spelling is more connected with its pronunciation．．．That’s why American English is more popular in the world．可知，是因为美式英语更容易学。
31．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Australian English is easy to understand．
B．Australian English is preferred by educated people．
C．Modern English became popular in the 18th century．
D．American English may develop from working people’s language．
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的American English was based on the dialects spoken by working．．．different cultural backgrounds communicate more easily．可推测，美式英语来源于劳动人民的语言。
32．Which of the following can best describe Australian English?
A．Polite． B．Rude．
C．Welcome． D．Special．
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第五段的It is the most vulgar(粗俗的) of the three．Actually it has a tendency to show its invention, disrespect and humor．可知答案。
D
There’s nothing like Christmas in New York City．Among hundreds of traditions, one of the most beloved is the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s famous Christmas tree．People from around the world visit the Met daily and are impressed(印象深刻的) by the 20-foot tree and its special decorations．
Instead of the usual decorations, beautiful angels(天使) and candles hang from the tree．At the base are lifelike handmade figures of townspeople of Bethlehem doing their daily tasks, as well as animals．The room is warmly lit, and there’s beautiful Christmas songs softly playing, creating a feeling of calm that is really hard to find during Christmas．
Jasmin, an Australian student studying in the United States, says that the tree is “wonderful because you don’t often see trees like this．”And she says that her “favorite part of the tree is the beautiful angels．”
The tree has a rich history behind it．The decorations and figures were gifted to the museum by collector Loretta Hines Howard．More than 200 eighteenth-century figures were given to the Museum starting in 1964, and they have been displayed(展览) each holiday season with a Christmas tree．Each year, new angels and figures are added to the collection and display．
If you want to fully experience the beauty of the figures, you’ll need to get close to the tree, most easily done when there aren’t many visitors surrounding(围绕) it, so try to visit early in the day or on a weekday if possible．Each year they change how the figures are placed and with so many beautiful pieces in the collection, it’s easy to find something new to examine．

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The excitement was killing me．My heart was beating faster than the speed of light; I was holding our flight_tickets and my suitcase was all packed in_the_hall and I was ready to go． It was the day．．．the day I was going to America to spend a long_vacation with my cousins．We would be away from London for three weeks．
It was about 5：30 p．m．My_mom was doing some chores while my brother Harry and I were watching TV．Everything was nice and peaceful, until mom’s phone rang．I was running so fast to pick it up for her, but she had already grabbed it from the table．Without any concern of who it was, she accepted the call．
Harry and I were trying to listen, but we couldn’t hear anything as the phone’s volume was too low． We tried to tell mom, but she looked really worried so we didn’t bother much．Harry was so curious to listen． He started giving funny hand_signals to mom and they were ignored．Mom was giving us a terrible look after she saw that I was messing with her phone, yet I was so curious to know who it was that I forgot my manners．Anyways, now that everything was in place，I sat down and listened．
That voice ．．．I could recognize it from anywhere ．．．It was my grandma．I was so excited when I heard my grandmother’s voice after such a long time．All I wanted to do is just grab the phone out of my mom’s hands, but I wasn’t so sure if it was the right moment．I looked at my mom and I saw something on her face ．．．it was worry．Something made me feel anxious．I kept listening to see what was going on．
“I am in a very critical_condition．The doctors have tried so many medicines and treatments, but it just didn’t work．All I need right now is to see my children． Please come and visit me．I really need you．”

One possible version：
Paragraph 1：
I really wondered what critical meant at that time．But when I saw rivers of tears flowing right out of mom’s eyes, I thought I figured what was happening．The call ended．Everything was quiet．It was just my_mom wiping her tears．Harry and I dared not ask any further questions．We both felt very sorry for the pain that mom was going through．Our grandmother was so ill that she was eager to be with her．But we had booked the flight_tickets and were leaving for the airport．
Paragraph 2：
She said, “Grandma’s condition is bad．We can’t go to America．” That meant our vacation would be cancelled．Harry and I said nothing but we were really regretful for we had planned for the long_vacation for a long time．We’d never looked forward to anything like this trip．But compared with grandmother’s health, it was not important．We all love our_grandma,_who raised us when we were young．How could we leave when she was in a critical_condition?
