The fact is that they aren’ t. Some statistics(数据) from the survey done by the Eu- ropean Commission(欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people,56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe. And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That’ s why many people don’ t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language. In Britain,students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don’ t students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other sub- jects such as science or history. To solve this situation, the British government is loo- king for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices. Changing the British attitude(态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try! 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 (　 　 )21. Which country does the writer come from? A. America. 　 　 　 　 　 B. China. C. Britain. D. Egypt. ·73· (　 　 )22. Which of the following about the British people is true? A. They are good language learners. B. 62% of them speak two or more languages. C. They are famous for speaking foreign langua- ges. D. More than half of them only speak English. (　 　 )23. According to the passage,students in Britain pre- fer to learn 　 　 　 　 . A. science or German B. history or German C. science or history D. German or French (　 　 )24.

Foreign Language Learning in UK C. Schools in UK D. Young English Learners B 【情境题】 世界在进步,文化在传播。 英语作为一门重要的语 言,在文化传播中发挥着重要的作用。 今天我们来了解一下英 语的重要性吧。 　 　 English is spoken as the first language by most people in the USA,Britain,Australia,New Zealand,Ireland and Can- ada. However,English is spoken all over the world. It is the main language in over 60 countries, including India,Singa- pore and many of the Caribbean and Pacific islands. In these places English is often a second language. English is also an international language in many other countries, like China and Japan. People in these countries use it for business,and travelers to these countries use Eng- lish when they get there to communicate. Other people may learn English because they enjoy reading books in English, listening to British or American music or watching American films. English has changed a lot over the years and still goes on changing. It is no longer right to talk about British Eng- lish or American English if the speakers come or don’ t come from those countries. People in Japan and Korea,for example,may use the American spelling but may not sound like Americans. English has been the most widely used language in the world by the end of the 20th century. This language no lon- ger belongs to British,American or Australian speakers. It belongs to anyone in the world. So, as a middle school student today,you should think about how you can use this language. After you leave school,you will almost certainly need it. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 (　 　 )26.

The latest studies show that being bilingual does not necessarily make people cleverer,but it probably does make you better at certain skills. Imagine driving down the highway. There ’ re many things that could attract your attention and you really need to be able to watch all of them. Why would bilingualism(双 语)make you any better at that? The answer is that bilingual people are often better at controlling their attention—a function(功能) called the ex- ecutive control system. It’ s quite possibly the most impor- tant system we have because it’ s where all of your deci- sions about what to attend to,what to ignore(忽视),what to process are made. The best method to measure(测量) the executive con- trol system is called the Stroop Test. Suppose you would have the word blue written in red but you have to say the colour red. But“blue” is so eye-catching,and you really want to say“blue” . You need to ignore it so that you can say the colour red. That’s the Stroop Test. Bilingual people continually practice this function. They ·83· have to,because both languages are active in their brain at the same time. They need to ignore one to be able to speak in the other. This exercise might help in other ways,too. Re- searchers say bilingual children are more likely to have friends from different cultures. Bilingual adults are often four to five years later than others in developing Alzheimer’s dis- ease. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 (　 　 )31. What did the recent research find about bilingual people? A. They can safely drive their cars. B. They can well manage their attention. C. They can have a better control of imagination. D. They can easily pick out the colours they want. (　 　 )32. What does the underlined word“ it” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Red. 　 B. Blue. 　 C. Test. 　 D. System. (　 　 )33. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Bilingualism may do harm to people’s health. B. Bilingualism helps children make more foreign friends. C. People must practice speaking two languages continually. D. People use more active words from their moth- er languages. (　 　 )34. What might be the best title for the text? A. How does the Stroop Test work? B. What is executive control system? C. Are monolingual people smarter? D. Are bilingual people better at some skills? (　 　 )35. 【文章出处】Where is the text probably from? A. A shopping poster. B. A school introduction. C. A science report. D. A guidebook. D【学习英语的方法】 According to a report, there are more than 300 million Chinese studying English,more than the total population of the United States. However, the Chinese should try hard to improve the overall standard of English. 　 36　 Firstly,interest and perseverance ( 坚持不懈) . English learning is a long and hard process. 　 37　 For a beginner, at least half-hour for studying is necessary and morning and evening is the best time to learn. Secondly,reading English articles and listening to Eng- lish materials. They are the best ways to learn English. 　 38　 Only in these ways, learners can improve their abilities to speak and think in English way. Thirdly,be brave enough to speak English. The English that many Chinese learn is“Dumb English”because they can listen,read and write all but speak. 　 39 　 Mistakes make them embarrassed. So many people are good at reading and writing but can’ t speak it well. Last but not least,practice. 　 40 　 Practice listening, speaking,reading and writing to build a good sense of the phrase which makes English learning achieve success. To sum up,if one wants to learn English well,he or she should be interested in learning English and be brave. 根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处 的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺、内容完整。 A. And only the interest can make you learn well. B. Here are the common approaches to improve English learning. C. Many of them do not speak English face to face. D. They can help you think and express in English way. E. Practice makes perfect. 36. 　 　 　 37. 　 　 　 38. 　 　 　 39. 　 　 　 40. 　 　 　 三、完形填空(15 小题,每小题 1 分,共 15 分) 先通读短文,掌握其大意,然后从 A、B、C、D 四个选项中 选出一个可以填入相应空白处的最佳答案。 A very rich man Peter lost his sight.

For another,by learning English well,we can see a differ- ent new world. For example,we can read original no- vels or enjoy English movies better. We even would develop a different way of thinking,the English way. It’ s different from the Chinese way. In short, as a communicating tool,English plays an important role in our lives.
