Ⅲ.阅读理解
English has surely become the global language.Whenever we turn on the news to find out what's happening in East Asia, or Africa, or anywhere, people are being interviewed and telling us about it in English.
If people look at the facts about the amazing reach of the English language, many would be surprised.English is used in over 90 countries as an official or semi-official language.English is the working language of many international institutes (研究所) as well as of most international research scientists.It is also the language that Indian parents and black parents wish their children to learn.It is believed that over one billion people worldwide are now learning English.
One of the most important causes of the spread of English around the world is that Europeans are willing to accept it as their language.English is spreading from northern Europe to the south and is now the second language in countries such as Sweden, Norway, Netherlands and Denmark.If one visits any of them, it would seem that almost everyone there can talk in English.
Recently, a report said that at the beginning of 2001, English was the most widely known foreign language with 43% of Europeans saying they spoke it.The report also said that with over 89% of the population speaking English，Sweden now has the highest percentage of English speakers.What's more, English is the language rated as most useful to know, and over 77% of Europeans who do not speak English as their first language consider it useful.
【解题导语】 本文是说明文，主要讲了英语在世界上的广泛使用。
1．By writing this passage, the writer mainly wants to tell us ________.
A．why so many people speak English around the world
B．that English has become a language spoken all over the world
C．about the development of English in Europe
D．something about the English-speaking countries

2．According to the passage, what has played an important role in spreading English around the world?
A．That governments have asked their people to learn it in school.
B．That English is the most beautiful language in the world.
C．That Europeans are willing to accept English as their language.
D．That people have to use English in their work.

3．What does the underlined word “rated” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Stood. B．Agreed.
C．Considered. D．Argued.

4．What can we learn from the passage?
A．Black parents don't want their children to learn English.
B．English is used in over 90 countries as an official language.
C．Not all international research scientists speak English at work.

One of the speaking rules you need to know might sound strange to most ESL (English as a second language) students，but it is one of the most important rules.If you want to pass examinations, then study grammar.However，if you want to become fluent in English，then you should try to learn English without studying the grammar.
Studying grammar will only slow you down and confuse you.You will think about the rules when creating sentences instead of naturally saying a sentence like a native.Remember that only a small part of English speakers know more than 20% of all the grammar rules.Many ESL students know more grammar than native speakers.I can confidently say this with experience.I am a native English speaker，majored in English Literature，and have been teaching English for more than 10 years.However，many of my students know more details about English grammar than I do.When they sometimes ask me about grammar，I can easily look up the definition(定义) and apply it，but I can't tell them the answer off the top of my head.
I often ask my native English friends some grammar questions，and only a few of them know the correct answer.However，they are fluent in English and can read，speak，listen，and communicate effectively.
Do you want to be able to recite the definition of a causative verb，or do you want to be able to speak English fluently?
【解题导语】 这篇文章讲的是要学语法还是要语言的流畅，大部分学英语的学生认为语法很重要，但作者认为如果想流利地说英语就要忽视语法。
1．According to the author，what opinion do most ESL students hold?
A．Grammar matters a lot only in speaking.
B．Grammar doesn't matter much in speaking.
C．Grammar is very important in English learning.
D．Grammar is not important in English learning.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段“If you want to pass examinations，then study grammar.”可知C正确。
2．As for studying grammar，which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Many ESL students know little grammar.
B．Most English speakers know more than 20% of all the grammar rules.
C．Studying grammar will not make fluency in English.
D．You will say a sentence naturally when thinking about rules.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段“Studying grammar will only slow you down and confuse you.”可知学习语法只会使你放慢速度并使你困惑，故C项正确。
3．The underlined part “off the top of my head” means ________.
A．on purpose B．without consideration
C．after thinking D．with difficulty
解析：选B 标题归纳。前一个分句意为：……我可以很容易地查找语法的定义，应用它。由此猜测后一个分句的意思“但是我不能不假思索地告诉他们答案”。
4．Which of the following titles best suits the text?
A．Fluency or Grammar?
B．Grammar Counts!
C．Exams or No Exams?
D．No More Grammar!
解析：选A 标题归纳题。根据文章第一段最后一句可知本文主要介绍了如果你想说流利的英语，不要学习语法。故选A。
B
About 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son.After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled (注册) my son in kindergarten.Several weeks later, my son's teacher asked me to meet him at his office.
In the teacher's office, an exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded (弱智的)? Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？”
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? No, no, it can't be.What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.
My son could not follow the teacher's directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class.Didn't he know my son did not speak English yet?
He was angry: “Why hasn't your son been taught to speak English? Don't you speak English at home？”
“No, I didn't speak English at home”， I replied.I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn't want him to forget his native language.Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society？”
Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people”．Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.
As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over.He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures.He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life.And he has benefited from being bilingual (双语的)．
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.
【解题导语】 作者和儿子搬到美国新泽西州，儿子上幼儿园时不会说英语，他的老师找作者谈话，认为作者应该和孩子在家就用英语交流，而作者不这么认为，她觉得学多种语言是为了与人交流，为了多了解别国的文化。
5．The teacher asked the author to his office to ________.
A．discuss Scola's in-class performance
B．get Scola enrolled in kindergarten
C．find a language partner for Scola
D．work out a study plan for Scola
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据二、三、四、五、六段可知，他们谈论的都是关于作者的儿子在课堂上的表现。故选A。
6．What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Breaking. B．Following.
C．Attending. D．Disturbing.
解析：选D 词义猜测题。根据这一句话的前半部分可知，作者的儿子不听老师的指令，因此可推断这样做会扰乱课堂秩序。break打破；follow遵循，遵守；attend参加；disturb打搅，扰乱。故选D。
7．The author's attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as ________.
A．critical B．casual
C．positive D．passive
解析：选C 观点态度题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知，作者的儿子从中受益匪浅，因此作者是支持的。critical挑剔的，批评的；casual随意的；positive积极的，肯定的；passive消极的，否定的。故选C。
8．This text is likely to be selected from a book of ________.
A．medicine B．education
C．geography D．history
解析：选B 文章出处题。本文谈论的是与教育有关的语言学习的问题，所以选B。
Ⅳ.七选五
You might think that simple things like saying hello and goodbye are the same in every culture.Think again!
Shaking hands to say hello or goodbye was a Western custom (风俗) at first.__1__
Traditionally, the Chinese custom for greeting was to hold one's hands together and nod their head a little.
Japanese people greet each other by bowing (鞠躬)．When greeting an older or more important person, it is usual to bow lower and for longer.__2__ But only men did it.
People in European countries such as Italy often greet each other with a kiss on both cheeks (脸颊)．Even men greet each other like this.__3__
Eskimos, a group of people living in the very cold northern areas of North America, greet each other by lightly rubbing (摩擦) their noses together.__4__ Often, Eskimos only leave their eyes and noses uncovered.And the rest of their bodies are covered with warm clothing and their hands with gloves.
When you're not sure what the customs are in a new country, there's one greeting that is the same all over the world: a smile.__5__
A．Kissing is only for close family or women friends.
B．However, Eskimos never greet each other with a bow.
C．Everyone understands a smile so don't be afraid to use it!
D．In some cultures, it is usual to kiss on the cheek three times!
E．This custom probably started because of the freezing weather.
F．Bowing was also traditional in many European countries in the past.
G．But it is now becoming international, especially in business situations.
【解题导语】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了不同国家的人打招呼的不同方式。
1．解析：选G 根据该空前一句“Shaking hands to say hello or goodbye was a Western custom (风俗) at first.”可知，G项“但如今握手是一种国际化的打招呼方式，特别是在商业场合”符合语境。G项中的“becoming international”和上一句中的“a Western custom”形成对比。
2．解析：选F 该段主要介绍鞠躬这个礼仪，故F项介绍鞠躬在欧洲国家的使用情况符合语境。
3．解析：选D 根据该空前的“greet each other with a kiss on both cheeks”可知，D项关于亲吻脸颊的礼仪符合语境。D项中的“kiss on the cheek three times”与该段中的“with a kiss on both cheeks”相呼应。
4．解析：选E 该空前介绍爱斯基摩人打招呼时是互相摩擦双方的鼻子，该空后介绍爱斯基摩人由于天气寒冷除眼睛和鼻子外全副武装。由此可知，空格处起承上启下的作用，E项“摩擦鼻子这个风俗源于严寒天气”符合语境。
5．解析：选C 根据该空前的“there's one greeting that is the same all over the world: a smile”可知，由于微笑在全世界通用，因此每个人都理解微笑的含义。C项中的“Everyone understands a smile”与该空前的“the same all over the world: a smile”相呼应。

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 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 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.

A new African language is helping to reduce tensions and bring young people together in areas previously torn apart by tribal (部落) violence.And academics are so impressed by the language's potential that a social media platform promoting it will form the subject of a major presentation at this year's eLearning Africa, the continent's leading conference on technology-assisted learning, training and development.
The language, Sheng, combines Kiswahili, English and a number of Kenyan tribal words, along with a little of Arabic, Hindu, French, German, Spanish and Italian.It was born on the streets of Nairobi, in some of the areas hardest hit by the post-election violence in 2007～2008.
Now a society in Kenya.Go Sheng, is helping to celebrate and promote the language, which is almost generally used by young people so much that it has become the first language of many young Kenyans in urban areas.
The society provides a platform for social dialogues for the language's growing numbers of speakers.In doing so, it is giving voice to a powerful alternative culture in Kenya and celebrating the many tribal languages that contribute to Sheng.In turn, this helps to bring some welcome cultural harmony and mutual (相互) understanding to a country, which has too often been divided against itself in the recent past.
Go Sheng uses a variety of different means to grow Sheng language and culture.Its most significant achievement, to date, has been the development of a Sheng dictionary, which contains over 3,900 words and continues to grow rapidly.It functions as a socially driven resource, where registered members can add words or phrases which then get voted for by other members, before being accepted as authentic.Go Sheng also runs a website and various social media channels, which have an online community of around 15,000 active participants.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，介绍了非洲的一种新语言。该语言结合了现代需要和当地部落中的语言，即将被推广。
5．What does eLearning Africa usually do?
A．Invent new African languages.
B．Promote language researches.

D．Help people learn and develop with technology.
解析：选D 细节理解题。从文章第一段第二句中的“...eLearning Africa, the continent's leading conference on technology-assisted learning, training and development.”可知D正确。
6．What is the most successful work done by Go Sheng?
A．Developing a Sheng dictionary.

Tony is 79 years old now. He is very excited to see that his robot comes back to life after 45 years kept in the garage. He has always been interested in making these things. ?He built his first robot named George at the age of 12. In 1945 he made the second George. Three years later, at the age of 17, he improved it by making it bigger and controlling it by radio. ?In 1950, he made this amazing man-sized model for just 15 pounds. This model could walk, so it surprised the world. ?At that time, he was only 19 years old and became famous all over the world. It was a pity that he had no memory, so he was put away after being used for more than ten years. Forty-five years passed. He was left there until Tony found the robot again in the garage. Today, this robot can be made to walk, turn his head, move an arm and sit down. It was one of the earliest robots built in the UK. ?He has now given him to the national museum. It's lovely to have him working again and people can come along and visit him for themselves.

A
Lenaya, Age 15 Senegal
My favorite book is Caddie Woodlawn by Carol Ryrie Brink.It's about a 10-year-old girl in the 1860s.Her mom wants her to be a perfect little lady, but Caddie has different ideas.Unlike many other girls, she likes to catch snakes, go swimming, and work in the fields.She makes friends with the neighboring Indians.You should read the book.
Sam, Age 16 New Jersey
My favorite book is Who Was Abraham Lincoln? by Janet Pascal.It is about Abraham Lincoln.He grew up poor, told funny jokes, and then became President.He led the North during the Civil War, and the North won.After the war, slavery (奴隶制) was ended.I liked learning about the war and Abraham Lincoln.
George, Age 16 Arkansas
My favorite books are The Hardy Boys books by Franklin W．Dixon.My mom and dad had some when they were kids.I love them because they're filled with mystery (神秘), action, and fun.They are about two boys, Frank and Joe.The two boys unlock more than 50 mysteries.
Annie, Age 15 Ohio
My favorite book is Judy Moody and the Bad Luck Charm by Megan McDonald.It's about a third grader who has a good-luck penny, but she loses it.She is lucky enough to find it, but the luck is gone!

21．In the book Caddie Woodlawn, Caddie ________.
A．hopes to grow into a perfect lady
B．acts quite differently from other girls

D．has a bad relation with her neighbors
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Caddie has different ideas.Unlike many other girls, she likes to catch snakes, go swimming, and work in the fields”可知，Caddie的爱好和其他女孩不太相同，表现得不一样。
22．One reason why George likes The Hardy Boys books is that ________.
A．they were written by a famous author
B．they are what his parents chose for him
C．they include things that are hard to explain
D．they are about two boys of the same age as him

I was asked in an email about learning idioms in a foreign language.Maybe I am different from most people, but I do not bother with them.To me they are kind of dessert of language learning.They come at the end of a meal.Once you have filled up with the solid fare—the key words and phrases that are used in a variety of situations, then you can add a few idioms to spice up things.And by that time you will be able to pick them up naturally anyway.
I find that many learners have an obsession(困扰)with slang and idioms, as if repeating some very colloquial expressions is going to upgrade how they sound in a language.In fact it is the opposite.Idioms are difficult to use correctly.They can easily sound very strange coming from someone who obviously does not have a good sense of the language.
Yes, occasionally you hear idioms or slang and do not understand.But, in my experience, there are always situations where you do not understand.It is best to focus on the most important words, what they mean and how they are used.Certainly, it is best for a non-native speaker to stick to standard speech.
Some teachers even try to teach the“real language”．Then you hear non-native speakers saying things like“I gonna”， “You wanna”etc..I just cringe(畏缩)．
You will learn all the idioms you need just by exposing yourself to the language.In general, you can save any phrase that you find interesting, and if that includes idioms, go to it.But I would not make any special effort to go after idioms.I, in fact, avoid them.If I come across something in Russian that strikes me as a particularly slangy or idiomatic use of words, I just leave it aside; do not even bother trying to learn it.If it keeps on appearing, then I will learn it.But I would certainly be reluctant(勉强的)to try to use it.
【解题导语】 作者讲述了如何学习一门语言中的习语。
24．In the writer's opinion, when one learns a new language, one should learn its idioms________.
A．at the beginning B．on one's own
C．in the end D．without help
解析：选C 细节理解题。从第一段中的“To me they are kind of...They come at the end of a meal.”可知作者认为习语应该在最后学。
25．The underlined word“colloquial”in Para.2 means“________”．
A．oral B．informal
C．formal D．written
解析：选A 词义猜测题。从画线词后的“how they sound in a language”特别是sound一词， 可知colloquial意思是“口语的”， 故选A。
26．It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．idioms are the most important part in a language
B．the writer is not very willing to use idioms
C．non-native speakers should learn more idioms
D．there are no ways to master idioms
解析：选B 推理判断题。从第一段提到的最后学idioms到最后一段的“I just leave it aside; do not even bother trying to learn it.”和“But I would certainly be reluctant to try to use it.”可知作者并不喜欢用这些习语。
27．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．It's better to avoid idioms in a language
B．Idioms are very charming in a language
C．How to learn idioms in a language
D．Why it's difficult to use idioms in a language
解析：选C 主旨大意题。从全文尤其是第一段第一句话可知作者是在讲述如何学习一门语言中的习语。
C
If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life，new research may come as a shock.According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.
Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1,000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years.The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die.The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers.The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉)．Over time，this can cause serious injuries.
Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，“If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy，jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy.Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful.”
The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than “iron man” events，triathlons and long-distance running and cycling.According to Jacob Louis Marott，another researcher involved in the study，“You don't actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health.And perhaps you shouldn't do too much.”
【解题导语】 最新的一项科学研究显示：从事剧烈运动的人与根本不锻炼的人死亡概率是一样的，而适度的锻炼才有益于健康。
28．The underlined work “strenuous” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．hard B．regular
C．practical D．flexible
解析：选A 词义猜测题。此处指像马拉松一样的锻炼，所以strenuous应与hard意思相近，表示艰苦的，费力的。regular定时的；practical实用的；flexible灵活的。
29．The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ________.
A．suggest giving up jogging
B．show risks of doing sports
C．provide supportive evidence
D．introduce the research process
解析：选C 写作目的题。作者在第二段中采用了列数字的方法，是为了提供支持的证据，能更有力地说明第一段的研究结论。
30．According to the scientists，why is too much exercise harmful?
A．It may injure the heart and arteries.
B．It can make the body tired out.
C．It will bring much pressure.
D．It consumes too much energy.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第二段的最后两句“The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉)．Over time, this can cause serious injuries.”可知，剧烈运动会导致心脏和动脉结构发生变化，从而有损健康。
31．What can be inferred from the text?
A．No exercise at all is the best choice.
B．More exercise means a healthier life.
C．Marathons runners are least likely to die.
D．Proper exercise contributes to good health.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，过度锻炼不仅没有必要，而且还可能有害，适当的锻炼才有助于健康。
D
You'll probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones.But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things—and many more—without even leaving your home.Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world.Apart from games and entertainment, it's long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules (分子)．Then how does it work?
Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer.What distinguishes VR from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output.Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard, a mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving.And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two screens (one for each eye), surround-sound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well.
VR has been routinely used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the military for about the last 30 years.Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for.How can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a parachute jump, or carrying out brain surgery? All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.
Like any technology, virtual reality has both good and bad points.Critics always raise the risk that people may be addicted to alternative reality to the point of ignoring their real-world lives—but that criticism has been leveled on everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet.Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you don't have to use it if you don't want to.
【解题导语】 文章向我们介绍了什么是虚拟现实，以及虚拟现实在我们现实生活中的广泛应用，最后介绍了作者对虚拟现实的看法和态度。
32．What equipment do we probably need for virtual reality?
A．A keyboard, a headset and a supercomputer.
B．A headset, data gloves and speech recognition.
C．A headset, data gloves and a supercomputer.
D．A keyboard, a mouse and speech recognition.
解析：选C 细节理解题。由第二段中的“a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer”可知，虚拟现实需要的装备有连接着工作站或超级笔记本的贴面式耳机和数据手套。故选C。
33．Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.
A．the principles of virtual reality
B．the applications of virtual reality
C．the history of virtual reality
D．the influences of virtual reality
解析：选B 段落大意题。由该段的主题句“VR has been routinely used by scientists, doctors...military for about the last 30 years.”及最后一句“All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.”可知，该段讲述的是虚拟现实的应用。
34．According to the passage, virtual reality means ________.
A．imagining beautiful things in our mind
B．creating something that doesn't exist
C．experiencing things that don't really exist
D．cloning something that has died out
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“You'll probably never go to Mars or sing...without even leaving your home.”可知，利用虚拟现实，你可以不出家门就体验登陆火星、与滚石乐队同台演唱，即所谓的虚拟现实就是体验不存在的、模仿现实世界的东西。
35．What is the writer's attitude towards VR?
A．Appreciative. B．Cautious.
C．Skeptical. D．Indifferent.
解析：选A 观点态度题。文章先介绍了什么是虚拟现实，然后向我们介绍虚拟现实的广泛应用，客观地介绍了虚拟现实的利弊，最后对批评的声音进行了驳斥，阐明了作者自己的观点“VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you don't have to use it if you don't want to”。由此可见，作者对VR持赞赏态度。故选A。

38．解析：选A 此空是本段的主题句。下文所描述的是建议加入一个当地小组，或者在交流对话一类的网站上找一个虚拟的会话伙伴，来练习语言。故这里A(找一个或几个会话伙伴。)符合上下文，故选A。
39．解析：选D 本段的建议是：读、看、听。空前句意：如果你的二外水平已经达到一定的程度，那就考虑选择一本你最喜爱的儿童读物(或有声读物)译本来读。空后句意：或者你可以尝试观看有英文字幕的外国影片。这里D(例如《哈利波特》，它已经被翻译成68种不同的语言。)符合上下文，故选D。
40．解析：选C 本段建议是：采用传统的方法。空前句意：就时间和金钱来看，语言学习班是一项投资，但是它们是一种有效的学习方式。空后句意：它们提供包括以文学、电影，甚至是食物为重点的有趣课程。这里C(社区大学提供多种语言学习班。)符合上下文，故选C。

第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
I've recently discovered that I have a second personality (个性) when I speak English, compared to the original me when I speak Chinese.
Speaking English brings out 61.________ more outgoing, enthusiastic, relaxed and confident side of me.I am also more open 62.________ physical expressions when speaking English, such as hugging, gesturing and using more exaggerated (夸张的)63.________ (face) expressions.I have to say I love this new version of me 64.________ (well)．
Similar things happened to my friend when we were traveling in Japan.My friend, a Chinese 65.________ (speak) fluent Japanese, showed a more modest and gentle attitude when using Japanese.I think it must have something 66.________ (do) with the fact 67.________ the Japanese use special words and styles to show respect for an older person or a person at a higher position than themselves.
So learning a new language is really worthwhile.We can not only have direct 68.________ (communicate) with people from other countries, but also fully understand 69.________ (we) beliefs and passions and explore the different sides of ourselves.
I've recently started to learn German.Probably in a few years I 70.________ (see) a more cautious, accurate and hardworking version of myself.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。“我”最近发现“我”说英语的时候会让“我”展现出另外一种个性，这跟“我”原有的性情不一样。“我”学日语的朋友也是如此，他在说日语的时候会显得更谦恭。“我”想，这一定跟语言背后的文化有关。
61．解析：考查冠词。说英语会让我展现出一个更外向、热情、放松和自信的另一面个性。a不定冠词，表泛指。
答案：a
62．解析：考查介词。be open to sth.“乐于接受某新事物”。句意：当说英语时我也会用更多的身体动作，例如拥抱、手势、并且使用更加夸张的面部(facial)表情。
答案：to
63．解析：考查词性转换。facial 面部的；facial expression 面部表情。
答案：facial
64．解析：考查副词的比较级。此处用比较级，其实是暗含了比较的对象——说母语的时候的个性。句意：我得说，我更(better)喜欢这样的自己。
答案：better
65．解析：考查非谓语动词。a Chinese与speak之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作后置定语。
答案：speaking
66．解析：考查非谓语动词。have something to do with...“与……有关”。句意：我认为这一定跟日本人在跟长者或者地位比他们高的人说话的时候用敬语有关。
答案：to do
67．解析：考查同位语从句的连接词。that在此处引导同位语从句。同位语从句所修饰的名词通常表示抽象概念，同位语来解释说明其含义和内容。
答案：that
68．解析：考查词性转换。此处需要填名词communication作宾语。have direct communication with...“与……有直接的交流”。
答案：communication
69．解析：考查代词。由设空后的名词beliefs和passions可知，此处需用形容词性物主代词。
答案：our
70．解析：考查动词的时态。由时间状语in a few years “几年之后”可知，此处用一般将来时。
答案：will see
