三、阅读理解(共21分)
(一)
? ??Our first winter in Canada was the happiest we have ever experienced. We were living in the countryside then and had just arrived from Hong Kong that autumn. One evening in mid-December snow began to fall. When we looked out of the window and saw that it was snowing, we all cheered. It was the first snow we had ever seen and we were excited. We could hardly wait for the snow to stop so that we could go out to play. Next morning when we woke up, it was still snowing. We switched on the radio and learned that more than ten inches of snow had fallen during the night and that since the roads were blocked, there would be no school that day. We jumped up and down for joy and beg mother to let us go outside to play in the snow. She said we could go out after breakfast if we dressed warmly and promised to come back as soon as we felt cold. When we went out, the snow had almost stopped. The roads, paths, gardens, and playgrounds were all hidden under a white blanket of soft snow. It was the most beautiful sight we had ever seen. Just then, we saw some neighbors' children coming out to play. We ran over to join them. Together we built a snowman and a snow house. After that, we took turns sliding down a hill on a large piece of carboard. We were having so much fun when supper time came. Mother almost had to force us to go in and eat.
(1)The children in the story had come from Hong Kong ________ before the event described in the story happened.
A.?a year???????????????????????B.?the summer???????????????????????C.?a few weeks???????????????????????D.?the winter
(2)The children were jumping with joy when they saw the snow because ________.
A.?they would go to school the following day??????????B.?it was the first time they had seen snow
C.?their mother would buy them warm clothes??????????D.?they liked cold winter
(3)When the children asked their mother to let them go out to play, she ________.
A.?asked them to go to school???????????????????????????B.?refused to let them go outside
C.?told them to switch on the radio.??????????????D.?told them to wait until after breakfast
(二)
??? “How far is the next village?” the American asks a man standing by the edge of the road. In some countries, because the man realizes that the traveler is tired and eager to reach his destination (目的地), he will politely say “Just down the road.” He thinks this is more encouraging, gentler, and therefore the wanted answer. So the American drives through the night, getting more and more angry, feeling “being tricked”. He thinks the man on purpose lied to him, for obviously he must have known the distance quite well.
??? Had conditions been reversed (颠倒过来), the American would have felt he was “cheating” the driver if he had said the next town was not too far, and if he would be sorry to the weary driver, he would say “You have a good way to go yet, it is at least fifteen miles.” The driver might be disappointed, but he would know what to expect.
??? Whether to be accurate or polite leads to many misunderstandings between people of different cultures. If you know the situation in advance, it is sometimes easier to recognize the problem.
(1)The man at the roadside tells the American it is not far from the next village because he _____.
A.?wants to encourage him to go further???????????
B.?doesn't know the exact distance at all
C.?wants to help the man to decide whether to stop and have a rest?????????
D.?tries to play a trick on him
(2)We can learn from this passage that Americans ________.
A.?are polite to anybody??????????????????????????????????????B.?like to be honest and accurate
C.?often lie to others????????????????????????????????????????????D.?have no sympathy to others
(3)If you ask an American how far it is from the next village, he will ________.
A.?give you an accurate answer if he knows the distance?????????
B.?say that he doesn't know but he will encourage you to go on
C.?decide whether you are tired or not, and then tell you?????????
D.?tell you politely it is close though he knows it isn't
(4)The short passage advises us to ________.
A.?learn some customs of America??????????????????????
B.?tell the truth to Americans more than to the people from other countries
C.?be polite to those who understand you well?????????
D.?decide whether to be polite or accurate according to the customs
四、任务型阅读(共10分)
??? It's reported that half of around 7,000 languages on the earth are in danger of disappearing by 2100. There are many reasons for such disappearance. Sometimes younger generations stop learning a language because parents want children to fit in modern society. ________?For instance, native American children of the late-19th century were required to attend boarding schools where educators forbade them from speaking their native languages.
??? Endangered languages are ranked according to their risk level by the United Nations. A "critically endangered" language is one that even grandparents don't speak often. New York's Onondaga language is an example with only 50 speakers left. An "extinct" language has no speakers, which means it is gone forever.________?The last person who spoke it died in 2008. So this language doesn't exist any longer.
Various animals and plants benefit our environment. ________Saving these languages benefits our understanding of other cultures. Languages can show how a society looks at the world and what it values. The Endangered Language Alliance, a non-profit group, wants to save languages from disappearing. ________?However, its efforts are limited. If an endangered language is going to make a real comeback, it'll probably get its start in schools. Now students in Hawaii can keep learning Hawaiian from elementary schools to college and beyond.
??? ________?At least one did. In 1881, a Jewish linguist named Eliezer Ben-Yehuda brought the 3,000-year-old language Hebrew back to life. Today it is one of the official languages of the country of Israel, with more than 4 million speakers.
A.Alaska's Eyak language is one example.
B.Why should we save endangered languages?
C.With just five speakers left, it is absolutely endangered.
D.Can a language with zero native speakers come back to life?
E. Similarly, different languages contribute to cultural diversity.
F. Sometimes societies force minorities to give up their language.
G. The organization finds native speakers and records their stories.

Dear Tom,
??? I have been in Paris for some days, and it leaves me great impressions. As the capital of France, Paris is a modern city with a long and rich history. So many events took place here and there are so many places for the visitors to have a trip. The Eiffel Tower, which is about 320 meters high, is the symbol of Paris. It was completed in 1889 for the centenary of the French Revolution. Also, the Arc de Triomphe is a world-famous building, too. What's more, I enjoy myself in the Disneyland Paris, the first Disneyland in Europe. In a word, there are many attractions, such as the beautiful Seine River and the wonderful palaces like the Louvre. Paris is a great place to all people in the world.
??? I wish you were here and we could have a good time.
??? Best wishes.
Yours,
