12、). Do you think it is necessary for the UK pupils to learn Mandarin? Some people share their opinions online.Ted(UK): The learning of any language can be valuable and rewarding, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn and the UK has a poor reputation for teachin

13、g foreign languages. Why should they learn Chinese when most people in the world speak English?Mark(US): I studied French for 2 years in high school and German for 4 years in college. I studied Mandarin informally for about 4 months before moving to China. Now I speak Mandarin every day as my wife d

14、oesnt speak English. But it is far from being fluent. Learning additional languages is a great thing, which offers a different perspective on the world around us. Nowadays, its almost necessary to be able to speak more than just your native tongue. George (UK): No, unless theyre taught from a very e

15、arly stage of childhood. Mandarin is so difficult. If China really is going to dominate the world, itll have to do so by speaking the worlds dominant language-English.Sam (UK): I dont think Chinese will become as widely spoken throughout the world as English. It is too difficult to learn as a second

16、 language. To learn Chinese you completely have to devote yourself to learning how to write and read it. If you have to learn it besides other subjects you cant be good at it. But Chinese will become more popular, and that is a good thing.21What is probably Marks main motivation（动机） for learning Chi

17、nese?A. Further education.B. Effective communicationC. His frequent travel D. The official policy22What does Sam think of learning Chinese? A. Its necessary.B. Its of little use. C.

18、. Its difficulty as a language B. Misunderstanding about China C. The great popularity of English D. A lack of learning resources.B Its been just over a year since 9-year-old Zion Harvey received a double-hand transplant(移植), and now, what he really wants to do is playing football. “I feel happy abo

19、ut my new hands, and I dont feel different. I like that now I can throw a football further than when I didnt have hands,” he said. The nations youngest hand-transplant patient has been working hard to learn how to use his new hands. He lost his hands and his feet 7 years ago after suffering from a s

20、erious infection. In August, the boy showed off his new abilities by throwing out the first ball at a baseball game. Dr. Scott Levin, team leader of Zions operation, said Zion was faced with the operation much braver than many adults. “Ive never seen Zion cry,” Levin said. “Hes just an amazing boy.

21、He has such courage and determination and gives us all inspiration.” Zion said his courage came from the two most amazing people: his mom and his grandma. His mother, Pattie Ray, said, “Its been a long journey but now I feel like I am living in my dream. Its his dream, and its mine, too. Im just liv

22、ing through him, and Im just here to support him in any way and help him do whatever he wants to do.” However，Zion told reporters his mom wouldnt let him try out for football. His mom said its too dangerous. She also pointed out that he might be playing against little kids, not professionals, and sh

23、e told him they would discuss it later. Zion tried to counter her argument. “My next goal: convince Mom to let me play football,” he said.24. What is Zions attitude towards his transplanted hands? A. He likes them a lot B. He tries to ignore them C. He accepts them unwillingly D. He has mixed feelin

CommentC What would you like to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? An astronaut? What do you need to do to achieve your dream jo

26、b? Perhaps you think that studying well and then going on to work hard will get you successful career you want. We are constantly taught that our hard work will eventually pay off. But a government survey has shown that hard work is not the only thing that will help you to move up the ladder. Two th

27、irds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know when it comes to social activity. So are the connections that you have more important than your education? 76% of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in influencing your chances of success. The

28、y believe that if you are privileged from birth, you are more likely to have a successful career, especially if your family is wealthy. Even if you dont have a privileged background, the people you know can still make a difference to your career. Networking is a skill which is encouraged by many car

29、eer advisers. Some companies run networking workshops to try and encourage staff to meet other people, to communicate and build relationships. Its a valuable skill. But the survey also showed something quite interesting. Although most people believed that networks are more important than education,

34、of them in my native Britain and I must say that I usually have a great time. Most recently I went to one in the mountains of Sardinia and I really enjoyed this one for the differences from those in the UK. First, the two families spent three weeks before the big day preparing all the food, from won

35、derful home-made delicacies to simple traditional breads and pastas. In my experience, in the UK that hardest task is left to the caterers(承办酒席的人)! This particular ceremony was in a beautiful country church and afterwards the couple was driven to the reception in a wonderfully decorated classic Fiat

36、 500, which was really similar to what happens in the UK. However, the wedding with around 500 guests is much larger. The wine flowed, as did the chatter. There were the five or six courses of wonderful food, screaming kids running wild, the ceremonial cutting of the cake by the bride and groom, but

37、 no speeches! Not one. In the UK its traditional for the father of the bride to propose(提议) a toast, followed by the groom and finishing up with that of the best man (伴郎). His speech generally has a good laugh at the grooms expense, but here the groom was spared that particular discomfort. Instead t

38、here was a delightful custom which Id never seen before, in which six or seven of the male guests pass round the hall banging trays, drums, pots, pans that make noise, selling pieces of the grooms tie which has been cut into tiny bits. The money raised was then given to the happy couple to help them

39、 set up their new life together. Finally the evening saw a lot of traditional dancing, a little disco dancing and some karaoke. Pretty much the part I like best.32. How did the author feel about the Sardinian wedding?A. It was enjoyable.B. It was very strange.C. It was expensive.D. It was unpleasant

40、.33. As for the preparations for the wedding, which part demanded the greatest effort?A. The particular ceremony.B. The wedding food.C. The disco dancing.D. The wedding speech.34. What can we infer about the best mans speech at a traditional British wedding?A. It is the best one of all the wedding s

41、peeches.B. It is usually very traditional and sounds too flat.C. It is funny but often makes the groom uncomfortable.D. It is more delightful than the Sardinian ceremonial speech.35. Why was the grooms tie cut into small pieces?A. To entertain the male guests as a wedding game.B. To start the dancin

42、g evening as a special ceremony.C. To get money from the guests to pay for the reception.D. To celebrate the wedding and raise money for the new couple.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Writing a news article is different from wiring other articles or informational piece

It is still true that the dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world .But the reason why peop

87、le keep a dog have changed, In the old days ,people used to train dogs to protect themselves against the attacks by other beasts. And later they came to realize that the dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey their master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting the dogs w

88、ould not eat without permission what they caught. But now people in the city need not protect themselves against attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery, but the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with; for a young couple, a dog is their child when they have no children; for old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.
