When I moved to Canada, I couldn’t even order food on the flight. After two months on an ESL(English as a Second Language) course, I got my first report card. My mark in English was 65. I was very 12 . I couldn’t imagine what would be said at the parent-teacher interview.?
“Hello!” Mrs. Franceschini welcomed my parents. “Richard just came to Canada a few months ago. I am amazed at how his English has 13 so fast,” she said. “On his first day, he was very shy and only used 14 words. Now he can answer and ask questions by using whole sentences.”?

Ⅲ.阅读理解
People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I’ll share some of my experience. I once took English course for a school year in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.
One thing I can tell you is that once you’ve started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you’re riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about “How would I say them in English?” At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I’m in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It’s amazing how much this helps.
For several years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn’t want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while travelling in America, I’d try to hang out with friends who couldn’t speak Chinese, so that I’d have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.?
Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you’re writing, and give you some suggestions for improvement.
21.The writer learned English in Wuhan University for about . ( )?
A.a week B.a month C.a term D.a year
22.According to the writer, is a good way to improve your English. ( )?
A.thinking in English
B.learning English grammar
C.watching English films
D.reading English books
23.The underlined phrase “get it over” in Paragraph 3 means “ ” in English. ( )?
A.stick to it B.depend on it C.overcome it D.understand it
24.To the writer’s surprise, his English improved quickly . ( )?
A.in university B.in middle school C.in China D.in America
25.The best title for this passage should be . ( )?
A.The Importance of English
B.My English Learning Experience
C.My University Life
D.My American Friends

Difficult to Master?
English is not the 29. language to learn—most of its common verbs are irregular and it has a large vocabulary—at least 200,000 words are in common use.?

What is the hardest sport in the world? Some people say it’s boxing (拳击), because boxing is dangerous and boxers have to be strong and fast. Other people say the hardest sport is soccer.
However, most people say the hardest sport is the triathlon(三项全能运动). A triathlon is a race that includes three sports. First, racers swim. After that they ride bicycles and finally they run. In the most common triathlon, racers swim 1.5 kilometres, bike 40 kilometres, and run 10 kilometres. The winner is the person who finishes the race first.
There is another kind of triathlon, too. It is called the “Ironman Triathlon(铁人三项)”. This triathlon is much longer. People who finish this triathlon are called “ironmen” and “ironwomen”. This is because these people are so strong that their bodies are just like iron(铁).
In the past few years, there have been other races including three sports. However, they didn’t use the word “triathlon”. That word was first used to describe a race in California in 1974.
Triathlon racers have to train very hard for their races. Many of them swim and run. A lot of people also do things like yoga(瑜伽). They have many different ways to prepare, but they all have the same goal. They want to be in perfect shape.
To be an ironman or an ironwoman, you have to be strong and smart. You should know how to save energy during the race.

When Dr Karen McComb came to Amboseli Park, her first task was to learn the names of the one hundred or so elephants most often seen.
Scientists working in the park have learned to study elephants by watching them up close. They have a list of almost one thousand elephants. There are records for all of the elephants born since 1972.Amboseli was a good place for Dr McComb to study animal communications. Elephants were a great subject because their lifestyle depends on communication.
Dr McComb and her team had learned a lot about elephant communication, but they kept on thinking about one puzzling(困惑的) watch. Some families were better at distinguishing calls of friends from those of strangers.
What made some families smarter than others? The scientists searched their records for an explanation. To their surprise, there was only one factor(因素) of importance. The “smartest” families always had the oldest grandmothers. A family, as it did in all other activities, waited for some signals(信号) from the grandmother when they heard a strange contact call. And older, more experienced grandmothers were better at telling whether other elephants were strangers or friends just by their calls.
That was an important discovery. It showed how an elephant family depends on the experience of the grandmother.

Alice in Wonderland
Chapter 2
Alice was not hurt, so she jumped to her feet in a moment. She looked up, and found the White Rabbit was still in sight. She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen. She found herself in a long, low hall.
There were doors all around the hall, but they were all locked.
Alice walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again.
Suddenly, she came upon a little three-legged table. There was nothing on it but a tiny golden key, and Alice’s first idea was that this might belong to one of the doors of the hall.
But, alas! Either the locks were too large, or the key was too small. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before and behind it was a little door. She tried the little golden key in the lock, and she was pleased to find it fitted!

Emergencies(紧急情况) don’t happen very often. But when they do, you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.
In 1968, the United States government wanted one number that people could call for emergencies. They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The very first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968, in Alabama. Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada.
Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain, it’s 999. If you’re not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book.
When to call
Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt in danger right now! So call when there is a fire, a car accident, or sudden sickness, etc.
When in an emergency call
When you dial the 911 operator(接线员),it’s always OK to give out your information. Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what’s happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help?
Don’t hang up(挂断)!
If you have to call 911, do not hang up until the operator tells you it’s OK to do so. That way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast.
A dog named Faith dialed 911 when her owner who was in a wheelchair fell and needed help. She had been taught to use a speed-dial(快速拨号) function.
21.The emergency number 911 was first used in in the USA. ( )?
A.1958
B.1968
C.1978
D.1999
22.Why was 911 chosen to be the emergency call? ( )
A.Because other countries also used the number.
B.Because it was suggested by the phone company.
C.Because it was simple and easy to remember and dial.
D.Because it was also used in many parts of Canada.
23.People can’t call 911 when . ( )?
A.a bus hits a boy badly
B.a girl feels bored
C.an old lady falls off the stairs, unable to stand up
D.some people can’t get out of a burning building
24.Which is the right thing to do? ( )
A.Wait for the operator’s words to end the call.
B.Tell the operator what has happened and hang up.
C.Test if your phone can get through to 911.
D.Tell the operator everything as quickly as possible.
25.Which is NOT true according to the passage? ( )
A.911 is an emergency number almost throughout the United States.
B.We haven’t got a worldwide universal(通用的)emergency number yet.
C.Usually phone books list emergency call numbers.
D.The dog Faith pressed the three numbers 9—1—1.
