As we have learned, classrooms can be created almost anywhere that teachers and learners are able to connect, in person or virtually. For Danielle Zelin, who teaches on the island of Mauritius, the classroom is in her home, and all around it. Danielle runs her own school the Language Mood English Club and as a result as freedom to take the curriculum (课程) in many directions, and sometimes that means looking right outside. Danielle’s school started as a club on Saturday mornings, with a focus on storytelling, but she now teaches classes to individuals and groups, mainly in the afternoons and evenings after school. “I always know I want to teach,” she said, but it wasn’t always clear that English would be her area of expertise (专业知识). As a teenager growing up in Mauritius, she struggled to see the point of reading Shakespeare in her English classes. “That English is old,” she told her mother. “I will not use it in my daily life.” At the time, she much preferred reading French literature. Years later, though, Danielle saw a performance of The Merchant of Venice, which she had studied in secondary school, and its power became clear to her. She didn’t have to memorize lines, answer questions, or analyze for a test; she just enjoyed the play and the performance. In a sense, that is the spirit that she carries into her current teaching. Her students arrive after a day of school, often tired, “So my place is more like a fun place to do like an English Adventure—I like to call it that. We do so many different things together, “he said. She and the students sometimes brainstorm things they want to study or discuss, and often her students tell her, “We want to connect to the world.” As a result, they frequently study current events and local issues. 14. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To lead in the story. B. To arouse reader’s interest. C. To show the author’s attitude. D. To indicate the background of the story. 15. What can be learned about Danielle from paragraph 2? A. She once taught students for free. B. She used to have classes on weekdays. C. She focused on storytelling in her class before. D. She set her classroom only at home years ago. 16. What made Danielle interested in English? A. Shakespeare’s books. B. Her mother’s influence. C. A show of The Merchant of Venice. D. Her inner eager to read literature. 17. Why are current issues concerned in Danielle’s class? A. Danielle wants to carry out her teaching spirits. B. Danielle wants to make her class adventurous. C. Her students want to brainstorm. D. Her students want to contact the world. 【答案】14. A 15. C 16. C 17.

She didn’t have to memorize lines, answer questions, or analyze for a test; she just enjoyed the play and the performance.”可推知，一场《威尼斯商人》的演出使她对英语产生了兴趣。故选C。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据“ ‘We want to connect to the world.’ As a result, they frequently study current events and local issues.”可知，因为她和学生们想与世界接轨，所以他们经常在一起学习并研究时事和当地问题。故选D。 C In many casual discussions of language and the Internet, it’s common to hear about how “social media language” is ruining language. Some people argue that technology has made us lazy about how we speak and write. And major media such as the BBC and The Daily Mail have all bemoaned the way in which people communicate through technology. Of course, language does change when it’s used to write messages online. Social media language is an evolution (进化) of language. It’s even the focus of the field of linguistics (语言学) called Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC). This field concentrates on the study of interaction brought about by technology like computers. mobile phones and tablets. People have been making complaints about language being “ruined” for as long as they’ve been writing and speaking. In a TED Talk, linguist John McWhorter shared stories of people being annoyed about language change through the ages. In A.D. 63, for example, a Roman scholar complained that students of Latin were writing in an” artificial language”. In fact, this writing was a new language that would become French! Today, people are able to communicate rapidly using a wide variety of tools and technologies. Perhaps no linguistic development better indicates changes in the ways we communicate than the popular emoticon (表情符号). The emoticon “ :)” is a visual performance of a smiley face turned sideways. Although an emoticon may look like a smile, a frown or any other kind of facial expressions, it doesn’t really represent a face. Instead, it’s intended to express a feeling, such as “I’m happy,” or “just joking”. Words that represent these feelings are what linguists call discourse particles (话语小品词). These are little pieces of language that offer information about the tone of the statement. Far from ruining language, these examples indicate how people can now communicate complex feelings in a simple, direct manner. This kind of change is perfect for our modern, fast-paced world. 18 What does the underlined word “bemoaned” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Put forward. B. Agree with. C. Checked up. D. Complained about. 19. Why is the TED Talk mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. As an example to support the author’s argument. B. As evidence of complaints about shared stories. C. As a proof of language ruined by social media language. D. As a way to explain language change through the ages. 20. What’s the function of emoticons according to the text? A. To set the tone. B. To express intentions. C. To communicate feelings. D. To represent a smiling face. 21. What’s the author’s attitude towards social media language? A. Unclear. B. Approving. C. Opposed. D. Doubtful 【答案】18. D 19. A 20. C 21. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讨论了社交媒体语言是不是“语言杀手”的问题。语言一直在演变中，社交媒体语言不是“语言杀手”，它是新时代的产物。 【18题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Some people argue that technology has made us lazy about how we speak and write. (一些人认为科技让我们在说话和写作上变得懒惰)”可知，一些人认为科技对我们的交流方式产生了不利影响，因此主流媒体对这种方式进行抱怨；“bemoaned”表示“抱怨”，与D选项同义。故选D。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据“People have been making complaints about language being ‘ruined’ for as long as they’ve been writing and speaking. ”可知，自人们开始写作和说话以来，他们就一直在抱怨语言被‘毁了’；再根据“In a TED Talk, linguist John McWhorter shared stories of people being annoyed about language change through the ages. (在TED演讲中，语言学家John McWhorter分享了人们对语言变化感到恼火的故事)”可知，提到TED演讲是对主旨句的进一步说明，目的是支持作者的观点。故选A。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Although an emoticon may look like a smile, a frown or any other kind of facial expressions, it doesn’t really represent a face. Instead, it’s intended to express a feeling, such as ‘I’m happy,’ or ‘just joking’.”可知，这些符号是用来表达情感的。故选C。 【21题详解】 观点态度题。根据“Far from ruining language, these examples indicate how people can now communicate complex feelings in a simple, direct manner. This kind of change is perfect for our modern, fast-paced world. (这些例子不仅没有破坏语言，而且表明人们现在可以用简单直接的方式交流复杂的情感。这种变化对于我们这个快节奏的现代世界来说是完美的)”可推知，作者对社交媒体语言持支持态度。故选B。 D For those who travel to East Africa, a visit would be incomplete without buying beads (珠子), which first arrived there around 1000 AD. From 1480 onwards, the mass export of beads from Europe to East Africa started. By the late 19th century huge quantities of beads were being used as trade goods. Although beads were readily available, the Maasai did not develop an interest in them for quite some time. The Iltalala age-set, who were fighters from 1881 until 1905, were the first to use larger numbers of beads to decorate themselves. An age-set is an institutionalized (约定俗成的) stage in life which is shared by people that are in the same age-category. The age-sets have names and their members used to paint their bodies to distinguish themselves. When they were prohibited from carrying their weapons in public, the Maasai instead began to wear beaded ornaments (饰物). Beadwork can tell you several things about the wearer. Specific ornaments and colours indicate whether the person is Maasai or from another ethnic (部落的) group. Different Maasai groups also use certain beads and colour combinations to indicate their connection with others. Finally, a person’s beadwork reflects his or her position in life. The belt of a young woman is different from that of a young man, and an unmarried girl’s earrings are different from those of a married woman. Within those cultural rules, beadwork fashion changes all the time. Each new generation develops a particular style, including certain materials, colour placements and symbols that unite and identify them. Competing age-sets have often chosen to include symbols of adopted technology. For instance, the Iseuri age-set chose the telegraph pole as their symbol, as a reference to the speed of communication between fighters and their friends. The next major age-set, the Ilkitoip, carried on this theme by adding a large button eye on top of the telegraph pole to symbolise the blue light of a police car. Tourists are often quite surprised when they find out that Maasai beads are from Europe. They would like African beadwork to be “authentic” (真正的). And it’s true that some ornaments have more cultural meanings than others. Nowadays, Maasai beadwork forms an ever-changing, multi-cultural area of exchange of materials and ideas between Africa and Europe. 22. What can be inferred about the Iltalala age-set? A. They had a great love of traditional beads. B. They were the first to import beads from Europe. C. They made a living by trading in decorative beads. D. They travelled to Africa with beads around 1000 AD. 23. What is highlighted in Paragraph 3? A. Beads’ high values. B. Beads’ social functions. C. Beads’ different patterns. D. Beads’ historical origins 24. What does beadwork, fashion tell us about the age-sets? A. They have little communication. B. They keep the tradition alive. C. They are often ahead of technology. D. They are unwilling to follow the fashion. 25. What would be the best title for the text? A. Beadwork: a newborn European practice B. Beadwork: a disappearing African tradition C. Maasai beads: the ideal choice among age-sets D. Maasai beads: the interplay between Europe and Africa 【答案】22. A 23. B 24. C 25. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了东非珠子的历史及其在马赛人文化中的应用，强调了珠子在不同年龄组和社会地位之间的象征意义。文章还提到现代马赛珠饰是非洲与欧洲材料和思想交流的结果。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The Iltalala age-set, who were fighters from 1881 until 1905, were the first to use larger numbers of beads to decorate themselves.”可知，他们是第一批使用大量珠子来装饰自己的人，由此推知他们非常喜欢传统的珠子。故选A。 【23题详解】 段落大意题。根据“Specific ornaments and colours indicate whether the person is Maasai or from another ethnic (部落的) group. (特定的装饰品和颜色表明该人是马赛人还是来自另一个群体)”和“Finally, a person’s beadwork reflects his or her position in life. (一个人的头饰反映了他或她在生活中的地位)”可知，第三段主要强调了珠子的社会功能。故选B。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Within those cultural rules, beadwork fashion changes all the time. Each new generation develops a particular style, ... Competing age-sets have often chosen to include symbols of adopted technology. (在这些文化规则下，珠饰时尚一直在变化。每新一代都发展出一种特殊的风格，包括某些材料、色彩和符号……相互竞争的年龄群体通常会选择包含所采用技术的象征”可知，珠饰和时尚往往领先于技术。故选C。 【25题详解】 最佳标题题。根据“Nowadays, Maasai beadwork forms an ever-changing, multi-cultural area of exchange of materials and ideas between Africa and Europe. (如今马赛珠饰在非洲和欧洲之间形成了一个不断变化的、多元文化的材料和思想交流领域)”以及全文可知，本文介绍了东非珠子的历史及其在马赛人文化中的象征意义，强调现代马赛珠饰是非洲与欧洲交流的产物。D选项“马赛珠：欧洲与非洲的互动”符合文意，为最佳标题。故选D。 三．完形填空(共 15 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 22.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was cleaning out a cupboard the other day when I made an amazing discovery.

The three times great-granddaughter of Charles Dickens, Lucinda is returning to her family’s historic London home to share some exciting projects with you. 9:00 am—Our Dickens Day begins with a virtual (虚拟的) talk presented by Lucinda in celebration of Christmas in July. This festive event is for people down under celebrating Christmas in midwinter, and is timed so that friends in Australia and New Zealand can join. Streamed online, this is a wonderful way to get into the festive spirit. For whose in the Northern Hemisphere (半球), or for people who just don’t fancy celebrating Christmas in July, this is still a wonderful way of understanding how Dickens came to write one of his most famous books, A Christmas Carol. 2:00 pm—Lucinda will be on-site, here at the museum, to deliver a short speech on her brand new book, Dickens and travel.

Lucinda will be in the Boardroom to sign copies of her new book and greet visitors. 4:00 pm—Lucinda will finish her day at the museum with another short talk on her new book.

For Danielle Zelin, who teaches on the island of Mauritius, the classroom is in her home, and all around it. Danielle runs her own school the Language Mood English Club and as a result as freedom to take the curriculum (课程) in many directions, and sometimes that means looking right outside. Danielle’s school started as a club on Saturday mornings, with a focus on storytelling, but she now teaches classes to individuals and groups, mainly in the afternoons and evenings after school. “I always know I want to teach,” she said, but it wasn’t always clear that English would be her area of expertise (专业知识). As a teenager growing up in Mauritius, she struggled to see the point of reading Shakespeare in her English classes. “That English is old,” she told her mother. “I will not use it in my daily life.” At the time, she much preferred reading French literature. Years later, though, Danielle saw a performance of The Merchant of Venice, which she had studied in secondary school, and its power became clear to her. She didn’t have to memorize lines, answer questions, or analyze for a test; she just enjoyed the play and the performance. In a sense, that is the spirit that she carries into her current teaching. Her students arrive after a day of school, often tired, “So my place is more like a fun place to do like an English Adventure—I like to call it that. We do so many different things together, “he said. She and the students sometimes brainstorm things they want to study or discuss, and often her students tell her, “We want to connect to the world.” As a result, they frequently study current events and local issues. 14. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To lead in the story. B. To arouse reader’s interest. C. To show the author’s attitude. D. To indicate the background of the story. 15. What can be learned about Danielle from paragraph 2? A. She once taught students for free. B. She used to have classes on weekdays. C. She focused on storytelling in her class before. D. She set her classroom only at home years ago. 16 What made Danielle interested in English? A. Shakespeare’s books. B. Her mother’s influence. C. A show of The Merchant of Venice. D. Her inner eager to read literature. 17. Why are current issues concerned in Danielle’s class? A. Danielle wants to carry out her teaching spirits. B. Danielle wants to make her class adventurous. C. Her students want to brainstorm. D. Her students want to contact the world. C In many casual discussions of language and the Internet, it’s common to hear about how “social media language” is ruining language. Some people argue that technology has made us lazy about how we speak and write. And major media such as the BBC and The Daily Mail have all bemoaned the way in which people communicate through technology. Of course, language does change when it’s used to write messages online. Social media language is an evolution (进化) of language. It’s even the focus of the field of linguistics (语言学) called Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC). This field concentrates on the study of interaction brought about by technology like computers. mobile phones and tablets. People have been making complaints about language being “ruined” for as long as they’ve been writing and speaking. In a TED Talk, linguist John McWhorter shared stories of people being annoyed about language change through the ages. In A.D. 63, for example, a Roman scholar complained that students of Latin were writing in an” artificial language”. In fact, this writing was a new language that would become French! Today, people are able to communicate rapidly using a wide variety of tools and technologies. Perhaps no linguistic development better indicates changes in the ways we communicate than the popular emoticon (表情符号). The emoticon “ :)” is a visual performance of a smiley face turned sideways. Although an emoticon may look like a smile, a frown or any other kind of facial expressions, it doesn’t really represent a face. Instead, it’s intended to express a feeling, such as “I’m happy,” or “just joking”. Words that represent these feelings are what linguists call discourse particles (话语小品词). These are little pieces of language that offer information about the tone of the statement. Far from ruining language, these examples indicate how people can now communicate complex feelings in a simple, direct manner. This kind of change is perfect for our modern, fast-paced world. 18. What does the underlined word “bemoaned” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Put forward. B. Agree with. C. Checked up. D. Complained about. 19. Why is the TED Talk mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. As an example to support the author’s argument. B. As evidence of complaints about shared stories. C. As a proof of language ruined by social media language. D. As a way to explain language change through the ages. 20. What’s the function of emoticons according to the text? A. To set the tone. B. To express intentions. C. To communicate feelings. D. To represent a smiling face. 21. What’s the author’s attitude towards social media language? A. Unclear. B. Approving. C. Opposed. D. Doubtful D For those who travel to East Africa, a visit would be incomplete without buying beads (珠子), which first arrived there around 1000 AD. From 1480 onwards, the mass export of beads from Europe to East Africa started. By the late 19th century huge quantities of beads were being used as trade goods. Although beads were readily available, the Maasai did not develop an interest in them for quite some time. The Iltalala age-set, who were fighters from 1881 until 1905, were the first to use larger numbers of beads to decorate themselves. An age-set is an institutionalized (约定俗成的) stage in life which is shared by people that are in the same age-category. The age-sets have names and their members used to paint their bodies to distinguish themselves. When they were prohibited from carrying their weapons in public, the Maasai instead began to wear beaded ornaments (饰物). Beadwork can tell you several things about the wearer. Specific ornaments and colours indicate whether the person is Maasai or from another ethnic (部落的) group. Different Maasai groups also use certain beads and colour combinations to indicate their connection with others. Finally, a person’s beadwork reflects his or her position in life. The belt of a young woman is different from that of a young man, and an unmarried girl’s earrings are different from those of a married woman. Within those cultural rules, beadwork fashion changes all the time. Each new generation develops a particular style, including certain materials, colour placements and symbols that unite and identify them. Competing age-sets have often chosen to include symbols of adopted technology. For instance, the Iseuri age-set chose the telegraph pole as their symbol, as a reference to the speed of communication between fighters and their friends. The next major age-set, the Ilkitoip, carried on this theme by adding a large button eye on top of the telegraph pole to symbolise the blue light of a police car. Tourists are often quite surprised when they find out that Maasai beads are from Europe. They would like African beadwork to be “authentic” (真正的). And it’s true that some ornaments have more cultural meanings than others. Nowadays, Maasai beadwork forms an ever-changing, multi-cultural area of exchange of materials and ideas between Africa and Europe. 22. What can be inferred about the Iltalala age-set? A. They had a great love of traditional beads. B They were the first to import beads from Europe. C. They made a living by trading in decorative beads. D. They travelled to Africa with beads around 1000 AD. 23. What is highlighted in Paragraph 3? A. Beads’ high values. B. Beads’ social functions. C. Beads’ different patterns. D. Beads’ historical origins 24. What does beadwork, fashion tell us about the age-sets? A. They have little communication. B. They keep the tradition alive. C. They are often ahead of technology. D. They are unwilling to follow the fashion. 25 What would be the best title for the text? A. Beadwork: a newborn European practice B. Beadwork: a disappearing African tradition C. Maasai beads: the ideal choice among age-sets D. Maasai beads: the interplay between Europe and Africa 三．完形填空(共 15 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 22.5 分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I was cleaning out a cupboard the other day when I made an amazing discovery.
