All of these aspects together can make learning a foreign language difficult. ___11___ ◆Don’t worry too much about pronouncing words the wrong way. Pronunciation is important, of course. ___12___ But the most important step in learning a new language is to practice speaking it. As for learning any new skill, practice makes perfect.

You may use context（上下文）and body language to guess what others say. For example, when a person says “Hola” and waves his hand, one might guess that the person is giving a greeting.

D) 阅读单选（10 分） From an early age, we were taught that if we wanted to be successful, we had to study hard and get good results at school. In fact, good students may just end up doing jobs they don’t like, and some even lead an unhappy life. Why is it like that? In some parents’ eyes, school grades mean everything for their kids. But in fact, there are many things to consider besides the school subjects, for example, how to be a happy person, what to do to keep healthy, and how to get along well with others. That is to say, school is not just enough if you want to have a great life. Doing well in school doesn’t mean doing well in life. Studies show that people who failed at school may not end up failing in life. You may have already known that some famous people, like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs, didn’t do very well at school or even failed to finish school. In fact, there are a lot more than just the big shots who are successful in life without finishing school. They seize (抓住) every chance to learn and finally make it to the top. Life is really a long lesson, it’s so long that you can’t define (界定) a person’s success by just one section of it. If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying life. If you are still studying, whether you are good or bad at school, don’t take your school results too seriously as long as you have put your heart into it. Keep learning to make the most of your talents. That’s how you can live a happy and successful life. 21. In some parents’ eyes, what’s the most important for their kids? A. Being happy. B. Staying healthy. C. Getting good grades. 22. Doing well in school is ________ doing well in life. A. the same as B. similar to C. different from 23. What does the underlined expression “big shots” mean? A. 好学生 B. 神枪手 C. 大人物 24. According to the passage, which sentence may agree with the writer’s idea? A. It takes money to be successful. B. School grades aren’t everything. C. Successful people never finish school. 25. What can we infer (推断) from the text? A. Old habits die hard. B. Learning is a lifelong journey. C. Good grades always promise a successful life. 【答案】21. C 22. C 23. C 24. B 25. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。在学校学习成绩好可以和未来的成功划等号吗？其实学校中的常胜将军可能并非人生赢家，反之亦然。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In some parents’ eyes, school grades mean everything for their kids.”可知在一些家长看来，学习成绩对孩子来说意味着一切，也就是取得好成绩是最重要的。故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Doing well in school doesn’t mean doing well in life.”可知，在学校表现好并不意味着在生活中表现好。故选C。 【23题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“who are successful in life without finishing school”可知此处指的是没上学就取得成功的大人物，big shots意为“大人物”。故选C。 【24题详解】 观点态度题。根据“That is to say, school is not just enough if you want to have a great life.”可知想要拥有美好生活，只成绩好是不够的，由此可知“学校成绩并不代表一切。”这一句符合作者的观点。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying life.”可知，如果你已经完成了学业，继续学习，因为你在学校学到的东西永远不足以让你过上满意的生活，由此可知“学习是一生的旅程”，故选B。 E) 阅读单选（10 分） “I don’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were at your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children’s eyes? One of the biggest problems is when someone becomes a parent, he or she likes worrying about things. They worry about everything about you from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get…All these things are parts of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily. So how can you make things easier on yourself? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone them if you stay somewhere else late so that your parents don’t call every hospital in the phone book looking for you. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility (责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you. Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and they need help from you. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on with your children. 26.

I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone. Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break. I couldn’t talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn’t want my parents to worry about me. Then one day, my classmates talked happily with their friends, but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual. At that moment, a boy entered the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked at me and, without a word, smiled. Suddenly, I felt the touch of something bright and friendly. It made me feel happy, lively and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other students and made friends. Day by day, I became closer to everyone in my class. The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now. One day, I asked him why he smiled, but he couldn’t remember smiling at me! It doesn’t matter because all the dark days have gone. Now I believe that the world is what you think it is. If you think you are lonely, you might always be alone. So smile at the world and it will smile back. 31. Why was the smile an important gift? A. Because the writer’s old school was far away. B. Because the smile didn’t mean anything to the boy. C.

All of these aspects together can make learning a foreign language difficult. ___11___ ◆Don’t worry too much about pronouncing words the wrong way. Pronunciation is important, of course. ___12___ But the most important step in learning a new language is to practice speaking it. As for learning any new skill, practice makes perfect. And most of the time, the native（本地的）speaker is glad to help improve the pronunciation of the words. ◆Don’t be afraid to guess the meaning of what someone says. ___13___ It is impossible to know all of them. You may use context（上下文）and body language to guess what others say. For example, when a person says “Hola” and waves his hand, one might guess that the person is giving a greeting. Whether it means “Hello” or “Good morning”, it is not necessarily important at that moment to know the exact meaning. ◆ ___14___ Learning a new language or skill always takes time. Many will give up learning because it is too hard or boring. Some may think that other people will make fun of them for making mistakes. But it’s OK to make mistakes. Nobody is perfect, after all. Don't lose hope and keep trying. In the end, learning a new language can be difficult, but remember that it can give great advantages. ___15___ Don’t forget that learning a language can also include making new friends, experiencing new cultures and tasting new foods! 根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项，选项中有一项为多余选项。 A. Don’t give up. B. Don’t waste time. C. There are tens of thousands of words in English. D. It helps listeners to understand what someone says more clearly. E. But some advice might make learning a new language easier—and more fun. F. Learning a language doesn’t just mean the ability to speak in that different language.

In fact, good students may just end up doing jobs they don’t like, and some even lead an unhappy life. Why is it like that? In some parents’ eyes, school grades mean everything for their kids. But in fact, there are many things to consider besides the school subjects, for example, how to be a happy person, what to do to keep healthy, and how to get along well with others. That is to say, school is not just enough if you want to have a great life. Doing well in school doesn’t mean doing well in life. Studies show that people who failed at school may not end up failing in life. You may have already known that some famous people, like Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs, didn’t do very well at school or even failed to finish school. In fact, there are a lot more than just the big shots who are successful in life without finishing school. They seize (抓住) every chance to learn and finally make it to the top. Life is really a long lesson, it’s so long that you can’t define (界定) a person’s success by just one section of it. If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you have learned at school will never be enough to live a satisfying life. If you are still studying, whether you are good or bad at school, don’t take your school results too seriously as long as you have put your heart into it. Keep learning to make the most of your talents. That’s how you can live a happy and successful life. 21. In some parents’ eyes, what’s the most important for their kids? A. Being happy. B. Staying healthy. C. Getting good grades. 22 Doing well in school is ________ doing well in life. A. the same as B. similar to C. different from 23. What does the underlined expression “big shots” mean? A. 好学生 B. 神枪手 C. 大人物 24. According to the passage, which sentence may agree with the writer’s idea? A. It takes money to be successful. B. School grades aren’t everything. C. Successful people never finish school. 25. What can we infer (推断) from the text? A. Old habits die hard. B. Learning is a lifelong journey. C. Good grades always promise a successful life. E) 阅读单选（10 分） “I don’t like my parents. They always tell me I should do this, and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou. Do you have the same problem? Perhaps your parents had the same problem when they were at your age long ago. Why does it seem that some parents are not so friendly in their children’s eyes? One of the biggest problems is when someone becomes a parent, he or she likes worrying about things. They worry about everything about you from the time you were born. They do a lot for you, though something would make you angry, because they care about you and worry about you. They worry about your choice of friends, the food you eat, your work at school, how much sleep you get…All these things are parts of your life. They want you to grow up healthily and happily. So how can you make things easier on yourself? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Get them to know your friends. Phone them if you stay somewhere else late so that your parents don’t call every hospital in the phone book looking for you. Say sorry to them when you make mistakes. Take responsibility (责任) for what you have done. Talk about your ideas with them. They may talk about theirs with you. Most of all, try to think about why your parents do this or do that. They are still practicing being parents and they need help from you. Someday, when you become a parent, they may be able to help you how to get on with your children. 26. The writer thinks one of the biggest problems for parents is to ________. A. worry about themselves B. worry about their children C. do everything for their children 27.

What is the best title for the passage? A. Parents’ Responsibility B. How to Get on with Parents C. Zhang Hua’s Problem F) 阅读单选（10 分） When I was 13 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. It was a smile. It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. As a result, no one knew who I was. I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone. Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break.
