Passage 17(2013 廣州,C) 

       The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time,they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an Englishspeaking country.

       Now the Vieira children are adults,and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries,they often leave their own customs and mother language behind.This is a mistake because there are many benefits to knowing more than one language.

       One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world.You do not have to depend on others to talk for you,so youVe more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.

       Furthermore,speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions,vocabulary,and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a person’s understanding of another culture.So,knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.

       Finally,having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well,the world can become closer.Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each others problems.

       The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact,there are no disadvantages.lt is very sad that many people don^ try to learn another language.lt is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silent.

1. What is the passage mainly about?

   A. The benefits of learning other languages.

   B. The reasons why people come to America.

   C. The importance of learning English.

   D. How to learn another language.

2. The passage begins with the experience of the Vieira family in order to       .

   A. discuss the need for teaching a new language

   B. introduce the passage’s main characters to the readers

   C. describe the advantages of moving to another country

   D. show the problems of speaking only one language

3. The underlined phrase “ multi-language speakers” ( Paragraph 5) means “people who know      .”

   A. their mother language

   B. a new language

   C. more than one language

   D. body language

4. According to the passage,if you can speak more than one language,you can       .

   A. find a better job

   B. make more friends

   C. better understand history

   D. communicate more independently

5. Based on the last paragraph,which of the following is the worst?

   A. Not knowing another language.

   B. Forgetting one’s mother language.

   C. Refusing to learn another language.

   D. Failing to communicate with others.

Passage 17

[語篇解讀]本文是一篇說明文。題材為社會生活類,以Vieira —家為例說明了多學(xué)一門外語的好處,同時也提到了無論學(xué)什么語言,忘記母語讓人感覺很糟糕。

1. A主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,文章主要講述的是學(xué)習(xí)一門外語 的好處s

2. D推理判斷題。由文章開頭可知西班牙的Vieira —家移居到美國就不再說母語了,可孩子成人后回到故鄉(xiāng)又因為不會說母語而無法 與人交流,目的是要說明只會說一門語言會導(dǎo)致不少的問題,故答案為D項。

3. C詞義猜測題。由前后文可猜測出是指會說多國語言的人。

4. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段可知,會說不止一門語言的一個好處就 是你可以和別人直接交流,不需要借助其他人,所以能更加獨立地 交流,故答案為D項。

5. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章最后兩句話可知,人們忘記自己的母語是一件比不去努力學(xué)習(xí)外語更糟糕的事,故答案為B項。

Passage 10(2013 廣東,B)

     A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor.She has just lost her mother. Her pink clothes are full of blood and her eyes look at something only she can see.

Every day we see pictures like this on TV.We see Iraqi (伊拉克) children asking for food and water from American and British soldiers when they move through towns and cities towards the capital,Baghdad. We see these children following parents,carrying bags of almost the same as their small bodies when they escape from their homes in Baghdad.

Passage 3(2015 廣東廣州,A)

    This is a tale of two friends—one is blind,and the other has no arms.On their own,the two are “disabled”.But together,they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich,green forest.Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!

    Their story began in 2000,when Haixia,who was already blind in his right eye,lost his left one after an illness.Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three.Neither could find a job,so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees.In return,the local officials paid them a small fee.

    Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10       ,000 trees,hundreds of birds and many other wild animals.In addition,it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season.

    When the friends work together,they focus on their strengths not their disabilities.Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite.Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant,the two use branches from existing trees.Haixia climbs to the treetop and with Wenqi's direction,selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.

    Though hardworking,the men don't make much money.But as Wenqi puts it,“We stand on our own feet,so the fruits of our work taste sweeter."

   A. stopping floods in the rainy season

   B. increasing the number of tourists

   C. making the villagers richer

   D. providing more farmland

   A. They are easy to get.

   B. They do not cost money.

   C. They can grow very quickly.

Passage 7 (2015 河北,A) 

       One day after school,I went to the teacher’s office to see my teacher,but nobody was there. As I was about to leave,I noticed a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up and saw the words FINAL-TERM EXAMINATION,? at the top. I put the paper into my schoolbag secretly and ran out of the room.

       After I came back home,I took out the paper quickly.lt was the exam paper of my worst subject,History. I felt excited. My heart beat fast. I took out my History book and started working on the answer. I had never answered any questions so seriously.

When the paper was sent to me,I dreamt of getting the highest mark in the whole grade and could not help smiling. “My History teacher always encouraged me to work hard and get better grades,but I let him down time and time again. This time I will give him a big surprise,”I thought.

       When the teacher said we could start,I turned the paper over.To my surprise,all the questions were different. Later I felt nervous. In the end,I almost left the paper undone. After the exam,I ran to the toilet,took out the paper and carefully read it from the top. Oh!It was last year’s exam paper. I read all the questions but I hadn’t read the date.
