When did you begin to learn Spanish? Why? Mary: I started learning Spanish when I was 6 with the help of my mum. I chose to learn Spanish because I wished to become a doctor in Spain in the future. Learning Spanish allows me to help patients better. Is there anything surprising when you learn Spanish? Mary: Yes, of course. At first, I didn’t expect Spanish would be easy for me. But then I found there were some similarities between English and Spanish. Some words in both languages have the same meaning and pronunciation. Putting those two languages together makes it much easier for me to learn Spanish. What’s the best way of learning a language? Can you share it? Mary: The best way is speaking. You don’t have to spend hours practicing. But speaking some words in Spanish in my life helps me remember things easier and keep the language in mind. Do you have any other advice for those who start to learn a new language? Mary: Taking detailed (详细的) notes is also a great way. I write Spanish with a black pen and English with a red pen. That helps me understand it faster and better. 56. Why did Mary choose to learn Spanish? ________ A. Because she liked Spanish. B. Because she thought Spanish was easy. C. Because her mum wanted her to learn Spanish. D. Because she wanted to help more people in Spain. 57.

Doctors have to learn different languages. B. Taking notes helps a lot in learning a language. C. Mary thought Spanish would be easy at the beginning. D. There is no need to spend time practicing languages every day. B A young man went to an expert on gems (宝) and wanted to learn from him. The expert shook his head. He worried that the young man wouldn’t have the patience to learn. In his opinion, young men were always in a hurry. The young man asked the expert many times to let him have a try. Finally the expert said, “Be here tomorrow. ” The next morning the expert put a jade (翡) stone in the man’s hand and told him to hold it. The expert then went to do his work, cutting, weighing, and setting gems. The man sat and waited excitedly. The following morning the expert again placed the jade stone in the man’s hand and told him to hold it. On the third, fourth, and fifth day the expert repeated the action. On the sixth day the young man still had to hold the jade stone, but he could no longer stand the silence. “Sir, ” he asked, “when am I going to learn something? ” “You will learn, ” the expert replied. Several more days went by. The man became more and more upset. However, when the expert placed a stone in his hand one morning, the young man said in surprise without looking at it, “This is not the same jade stone! ” “You have begun to learn, ” the expert said with a smile. 59. How long might the man hold the jade stone before he started to learn? A. For three days. B. For five days. C. For seven days. D. For half a month. 60. Why did the expert ask the man to hold a stone for days? A. It was a way of learning. B. He was too busy to teach the man. C. It was all that he could give the man. D. There was no other work for the man to do. 61. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. A real expert on gems. B. Some good learning habits. C. The importance of being patient. D. The secret of learning quickly C In the minds of the Chinese, the moon always seems gentle and bright, expressing their best wishes. On August 15 according to the Chinese calendar each year, the moon is full and it’s time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. ① ________ In traditional Chinese culture, especially in ancient times, it was an important custom for people to admire the full moon during the festival. People of different ages could do their favourite things. Adults usually enjoyed delicious mooncakes with a cup of hot tea. In the evening, all families went out for a walk under the stars, looking up at the full moon and thinking of their relatives or friends, as well as those who were far from home. A line from a poem “The moon viewed at home is brighter” expresses those feelings. ② ________ Besides, according to the history of Chinese culture, China is the first country to have the dream of flying to the sky. From the story of Chang’e to Dunhuang flying apsaras (飞天) , all express Chinese ancestors’ strong wish to study space. Many ancient Chinese poets also showed their preference (偏爱) for the moon through wonderful words. For example, the poet Li Bai wrote hundreds of poems about the moon during his lifetime. ③ ________ The Chinese exploring moon project, named after Chang’e, fully expresses this special feeling of us. Chang’e I was successfully sent up in 2007. It not only provided the basic work for future study of the moon, but also made a long-held dream of the Chinese people come true. 62. Match the title with each part. a. The history of Chinese food. b. The custom of admiring the moon. c. China’s preference for studying the moon. d.

To show how famous Li Bai was. B. To show Li Bai was talented in poems. C. To show Chinese poets’ preference for the moon. D. To show how many poems he wrote in his lifetime. 65 Where does the passage probably come from? A. A geography textbook. B. A health magazine. C. A travel guide. D. A newspaper. D Asking for directions is the first thing we do when we arrive in a new place, or even when we are just trying to find a place. Knowing how to ask for them can make our life much easier! Use greetings (问候语) and polite expressions. Starting the conversation with a greeting is necessary. If you want to get a nice answer, begin by saying “hello” first. And some words like “may”, “can” and “could” will help you express yourself better. Build your words. You should know the basic (基本的) words when asking for directions. It may be useful to remember some famous places. Then try to use the right words when asking for a direction. Get to know the transportation system (交通系统). Sometimes, it can happen that you are still far from your place. Which kind of public transportation should you choose? You might ask like this, “Is it far? Do I need to take the bus or the subway there?” Don’t be afraid of using symbols. Every city in the world has its own symbols. You can decrease search time if you know what the most important symbols are in the city. Your place might be around the symbols. Don’t be too shy to ask. Learn to relax if you get lost somewhere. We all do that now and then, especially when visiting a new city. But always make sure you can ask others for help! 66. Which of the following expressions may not help you when asking for directions? A. May I ask...? B. Can I know...? C. Could you please...? D. Tell me... 67. What does the underlined word “decrease” mean in English? A. Put on. B. Cut down. C. Give out. D. Set up. 68. How many ways does the writer give in the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 69. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. It’s necessary to express yourself better when asking for a direction. B. Knowing some famous places is useful when asking for a direction. C. Sometimes you have to use the public transportation in a new city. D. Most people usually feel so shy that they never ask for directions. 70. What’s the best title for the passage? A. How to Ask for Directions. B. Why We Should Ask for Directions. C. When to Ask for Directions. D. The Importance of Asking for Directions. Ⅸ. 阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，计10分) 阅读下面短文，按要求完成下面小题。 Here are some tips which may help you master the English language! ★Speak without fear The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly, so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do that. The fastest way to learn something is to do it again and again until you learn it. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want. ★Use all of your resources Use as many different resources, methods and tools as possible, which will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can use to improve your English. For example, the Internet is a fantastic resource, and for language learners it’s perfect. ★Let English around you Take notes in English, put English books around your room, watch English news, movies and TV shows, and listen to English music. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. Then you will begin thinking in English. ★Study as often as possible Only by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises can you really improve your knowledge of any language. ★Do exercises and take tests Many people think that exercises and tests aren’t much fun. However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. If you test yourself, you will know how much you are progressing. 1、2 题完成句子；3~5题简略回答问题。 71.

Knowing how to ask for them can make our life much easier! Use greetings (问候语) and polite expressions. Starting the conversation with a greeting is necessary. If you want to get a nice answer, begin by saying “hello” first. And some words like “may”, “can” and “could” will help you express yourself better. Build your words. You should know the basic (基本的) words when asking for directions. It may be useful to remember some famous places. Then try to use the right words when asking for a direction. Get to know the transportation system (交通系统). Sometimes, it can happen that you are still far from your place. Which kind of public transportation should you choose? You might ask like this, “Is it far? Do I need to take the bus or the subway there?” Don’t be afraid of using symbols. Every city in the world has its own symbols. You can decrease search time if you know what the most important symbols are in the city. Your place might be around the symbols. Don’t be too shy to ask. Learn to relax if you get lost somewhere. We all do that now and then, especially when visiting a new city. But always make sure you can ask others for help! 66. Which of the following expressions may not help you when asking for directions? A. May I ask...? B. Can I know...? C. Could you please...? D. Tell me... 67. What does the underlined word “decrease” mean in English? A. Put on. B. Cut down. C. Give out. D. Set up. 68.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文，文章主要介绍了如何有效问路。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据“And some words like ‘may’, ‘can’ and ‘could’ will help you express yourself better.”可知，“may”，“can”和“could”能有帮助，选项D“Tell me”不够礼貌，不能帮助问路。故选D。 【67题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Every city in the world has its own symbols. You can decrease search time if you know what the most important symbols are in the city.”可知，后文提到了如果你知道城市中最重要的符号是什么，那么就会“减少”搜索的时间，因此“decrease”意为“减少”，与“cut down”同义。故选B。 【68题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Use greetings (问候语) and polite expressions.”；“Build your words.”；“Get to know the transportation system (交通系统).”；“Don’t be afraid of using symbols.”以及“Don’t be too shy to ask.”可知，文章提供了五种方法：使用问候语和礼貌表达、构建词汇、了解交通系统、使用标志以及不怕询问。故选D。 【69题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Asking for directions is the first thing we do when we arrive in a new place, or even when we are just trying to find a place.”可知，大多数人访问新城市时，会询问方向，因此选项D“大多数人通常都很害羞，从不问路”表述是错误的。故选D。 【70题详解】 最佳标题题。文章主要介绍了如何有效问路的方法，因此选A“如何问路”适合作为文章标题。故选A。 Ⅸ. 阅读表达(共5小题，每小题2分，计10分) 阅读下面短文，按要求完成下面小题。 Here are some tips which may help you master the English language! ★Speak without fear The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear.
