W: Well, my mother is Spanish, so I grew up listening to her speak it. As for French, I grew up in Quebec, a French-speaking Canadian province, so I always had French from when I was born. Later I learned Italian at a university.
M: That’s interesting. As far as I know, you stayed in Korea two months ago. I wonder if you can speak a little Korean.
W: Actually, I’m just starting to learn it. I didn’t know anything and it was just difficult to get by when I was there.
M: I see. You are an expert at learning languages. What advice would you give to young people who want to learn another language?
W: Well, not everybody has a talent for it. But if you do want to learn it, it takes time. You have to memorize a whole bunch of vocabulary. What’s more, you have to find people who speak the language and chat with them very often so that you’re forced to speak the language. That’s what I did.
M: What helpful advice! Thanks for your coming to our studio tonight.

Known for its Terracotta Warriors, the ancient Chinese city of Xi’an in Shaanxi Province is also a city with delicious food. Here are some of them.
Yangrou paomo
Yangrou paomo, or pita bread soaked in lamb soup, is another signature food of Xi an. The main ingredient in this mouth-watering dish is mutton and pita bread. The hard bread is torn into small pieces and added to a bowl, then topped with stewed and sliced mutton, scallion, coriander and chili, and then the soup is poured over all of it.
Biangbiang noodles
Biangbiartg noodles(stewed-pork hand-ripped noodles) are thick, fat and long. Each noodle is three fingers wide, spiraling down into a big bowl. It is served dry, with toppings of chili and pork belly in alternating layers of fat and lean meat. Biangbiang noodles are famous not only for their distinctive taste, but also for the name, the character of which is so complicated that many Chinese don’t know how to write it. Biang refers to the sound chefs make when they pull the dough into noodles and bang them against the table.
Dumpling
A visit to Xi’an is not complete unless you try the dumplings. They are made in different shapes, colors and flavors—sour, sweet or peppery. The dumplings have different fillings. Cooking methods have also expanded, from boiling to frying.
Rougamo
Ancient Chinese called it “Rou jia yu mo zhong”, which means the meat is inside the bun(a kind of small bread). The most important part of “Rougamo” is the special sauce meat. According to the history record, “Rougamo” first found in book is in Qin Dynasty, which was called “Hanmo”. “Rougamo” is not only a sign of the ancient city, but also a sign of Chinese traditional foods.

【22题详解】

Fiega is a regular customer. So, the family knew immediately who had thrown it away. Shah went to see her at work. Fiega said, “He came to my office and said, ‘My Mom and Dad would like to see you.’” She told the young man that she was busy working. But he said, “No, you have to come over.”
So, Fiega went to the store and that was when the family told her the news. “I was in total disbelief,” Fiega said. “I cried. I hugged them.”

Have you felt annoyed when a cellphone rings during the class? Something must be done to stop this. Now in New York City, USA, a rule is carried out in schools. Students can't even bring cellphones to school. Is it a good thing or not?
Anxious parents say that cellphones are an important tool in holding New York City's families together.
“I worry about it,” said Elizabeth Lorris Ritter, a mother of a middle school kid. “It's necessary in our everyday life. We have a washing machine. We have running water, and we have cellphones.”
Many American parents think they can contact their children on buses, getting out from subways, or walking through unknown places.
“I have her call me when she gets out of school,” said Lindsay Walt, a schoolgirl's mother. “ No one in New York is going to let their child go to school without a cellphone.”
What about the cellphone owners, the students? Most of the students say cellphones are essential and that they are like extra (额外的) hands or feet for them.
“I feel so empty,” said May Chom,14. “There is also no way to listen to music on the way to school without my phone. It will be a really, really boring trip.”
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Many American parents don't think cellphones are necessary for the students.
B. Cellphones only bring troubles to the school life.
C Cellphones connect children with their families when they are outside.
D. Cellphones can help students learn better.
29. What does the underlined word “essential” mean?
A. Popular. B. Necessary.
C. Smart. D. Expensive.
30. What may students do by using a cellphone according to the passage?
A. To enjoy listening to music. B. To make phone calls to their teachers.
C. To listen to some uptodate news. D. To guide themselves to school.
31. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The problems caused by using cellphones.
B. Parents' concern over students' study.
C. The debate about forbidding students to use phones in school.
D. The importance of using phones in school for children.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。短文主要是关于禁止学生在学校使用手机的争论
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Many American parents think they can contact their children on buses, getting out from subways, or walking through unknown places.”(许多美国父母认为他们可以在公共汽车上、从地铁出来或走过不认识的地方时联系到他们的孩子。)可知,当孩子们在户外时,手机将他们与家人联系起来。故选C项。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“they are like extra(额外的) hands or feet for them”可知,手机对他们来说像是额外的手或脚,由此可见手机对他们非常重要,因此画线词应意为“必要的”, 故选B项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“There is also no way to listen to music on the way to school without my phone.”(如果没有手机,我也不可能在上学的路上听音乐)可知,学生在上学的路上用手机听音乐。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中的“Now in New York City, USA, a rule is carried out in schools. Students can't even bring cellphones to school. Is it a good thing or not?”(现在在美国的纽约市,学校里正在执行一项规定。学生甚至不能把手机带到学校。这是好事还是坏事?)和第二段“Anxious parents say that cellphones are an important tool in holding New York City's families together.”(焦虑的父母们说,手机是把纽约的家庭凝聚在一起的重要工具)根据倒数第二段“What about the cellphone owners, the students? Most of the students say cellphones are essential and that they are like extra (额外的) hands or feet for them.”(那手机用户呢,学生呢?大多数学生说手机是必不可少的,对他们来说,手机就像是额外的手或脚。)可知,本文主要介绍了纽约的学校实行的一条新规定——不允许学生带手机上学,这引发了争议,即家长认为手机是他们和孩子保持联系的重要途径,学生更是认为手机对他们来说至关重要。故选C项。
D
Most people around the world are righthanded. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B. C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are righthanded, so the scientists guessed that righthandedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is lefthanded.
Why are there more righthanded people than lefthanded ones?Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. Most people use hands to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain.The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand.The left side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be lefthanded, and studies have found that lefthandedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.
No one really knows what makes a person become righthanded instead of lefthanded. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become lefthanded because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become lefthanded.One idea is that people usually get righthanded from their parents.
Though righthandedness is more common than lefthandedness, people no longer think lefthanded people are strange or unusual.
32. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found that .
A. the art began from 1,500 B. C.
B. the works of art ended in the 1950s
C. most people shown in the works of art are righthanded
D. most people shown in the works of art are lefthanded
33. How many people in the world are lefthanded now?
A. Less than one sixth.
B. More than a half.
C. About 40%.
D. The passage doesn’t tell us.
34. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. No one really knows what makes a person become righthanded.
B. Lefthandedness is cleverer than righthandedness.
C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.
D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become lefthanded.
35. The best title for this passage is “ ”.
A. Scientists’ New Inventions
B. Lefthanded People
C. Which Hand?
D. Different Brains, Different Hands
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。你习惯用左手还是用右手?本文就“有的人习惯用右手,有的人习惯用左手”这种现象进行了说明。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Most of the people shown in these works are righthanded, so the scientists guessed that righthandedness has always been common through history.(这些作品中显示的大多数人都是右撇子,所以科学家们猜测,从历史上看,惯用右手一直都很普遍)”可知,科学家发现艺术作品中显示大多数人都是右撇子。故选C项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is lefthanded.(今天,世界上只有10%到15%的人口是左撇子)”可知,现在世界人口中有10%~15%的人习惯用左手,那么与此数接近的应该是less than one sixth(不到六分之一)。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Though righthandedness is more common than lefthandedness,people no longer think lefthanded people are strange or unusual.(虽然惯用右手的人比惯用左手的人更常见,但人们不再认为左撇子是奇怪或不寻常的)”可知左撇子并不是什么特别的人,由此推知,左撇子也并不比用右手的人更聪明。故选B项
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章告诉我们有的人习惯用右手做事,有的人习惯用左手做事,而对于产生这种差异的原因,科学家们进行了研究,但仍没有确定的答案,C项“Which Hand?(哪只手?)”用提问的方式作为标题,引人思考,激发读者兴趣,是最佳标题。故选C项。

People play the lottery (博彩) in the hope of winning money, sometimes a lot of money. Your chances of winning are small, but the payoffs can be big. It takes a lot of luck to win. But for a woman in Massachusetts, winning the lottery involved more than luck. It involved extreme honesty and kindness.
Lea Rose Fiega accidentally threw out a $1 million lottery ticket. But thanks to the kindness and honesty of the owners of the store where she bought it, she eventually collected her winnings.

Fiega is a regular customer. So, the family knew immediately who had thrown it away. Shah went to see her at work. Fiega said, “He came to my office and said, ‘My Mom and Dad would like to see you.’” She told the young man that she was busy working. But he said, “No, you have to come over.”
So, Fiega went to the store and that was when the family told her the news. “I was in total disbelief,” Fiega said. “I cried. I hugged them.”
The store gets $10,000 from the state lottery company for selling the winning ticket. Fiega said she gave the family some money to thank them. She is saving the rest for retirement.

Have you felt annoyed when a cellphone rings during the class? Something must be done to stop this. Now in New York City, USA, a rule is carried out in schools. Students can't even bring cellphones to school. Is it a good thing or not?
Anxious parents say that cellphones are an important tool in holding New York City's families together.
“I worry about it,” said Elizabeth Lorris Ritter, a mother of a middle school kid. “It's necessary in our everyday life. We have a washing machine. We have running water, and we have cellphones.”
Many American parents think they can contact their children on buses, getting out from subways, or walking through unknown places.
“I have her call me when she gets out of school,” said Lindsay Walt, a schoolgirl's mother. “ No one in New York is going to let their child go to school without a cellphone.”
What about the cellphone owners, the students? Most of the students say cellphones are essential and that they are like extra (额外的) hands or feet for them.
“I feel so empty,” said May Chom,14. “There is also no way to listen to music on the way to school without my phone. It will be a really, really boring trip.”
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Many American parents don't think cellphones are necessary for the students.
B. Cellphones only bring troubles to the school life.
C. Cellphones connect children with their families when they are outside.
D. Cellphones can help students learn better.
29. What does the underlined word “essential” mean?
A. Popular. B. Necessary.
C. Smart. D. Expensive.
30. What may students do by using a cellphone according to the passage?
A. To enjoy listening to music. B. To make phone calls to their teachers.
C. To listen to some uptodate news. D. To guide themselves to school.
31. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. The problems caused by using cellphones.
B. Parents' concern over students' study.
C. The debate about forbidding students to use phones in school.
D. The importance of using phones in school for children.

Most people around the world are righthanded. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B. C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are righthanded, so the scientists guessed that righthandedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is lefthanded.
Why are there more righthanded people than lefthanded ones?Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. Most people use hands to find things or hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain.The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand.The left side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be lefthanded, and studies have found that lefthandedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.
No one really knows what makes a person become righthanded instead of lefthanded.
