B Boston University was always my dream, but when it came to making the decision, I had to be sure that I was confident in my choice. Boston University drew me in for several reasons—its perfect location in the heart of Boston, its strong education programs, and the comfortable community. One special thing that set Boston University apart from my other college options was that I could be placed in the classroom to experience teaching in my freshman year. I had wanted to be a teacher for as long as I could remember, after all. After just six short weeks, I was absolutely confident that I made the right choice to attend Boston University. At Boston University, I attended an education program—ED 100. Each Wednesday, I went to Bowman Elementary School to help in a fifth grade classroom. Although I was a secondary education major, working with fifth graders was very memorable. One of my weekly tasks was to lead a reading group of about five students. It was tiring, but I fully enjoyed getting to know their strengths (长处) and a little bit about each student apart from their studies. As the weeks went on, I found myself further involved in (参与) more classroom activities, often helping students one by one or in small groups. The students never stopped amazing me—they were always ready to take part in class activities and share their ideas. For each class, I usually spent a long time preparing it. I also loved learning from other teachers, and taking note of their excellent teaching skills, some of which I hoped to use in my own classroom. The program—ED 100 has even further confirmed (确认) my desire to become an educator. I have passion to work with children. I can’t wait to have my own classroom of students. I’m so happy that I’ve made the right decision to choose Boston University. 4.What attracted the author most about Boston University? A.Being in the center of the city. B.Having a comfortable community. C.Allowing her to teach in the first year. D.Offering strong education programs. 5.What did the author think of her teaching at Bowman Elementary School? A.It was quite relaxing. B.It was a bit disappointing. C.It was full of difficulties. D.It was a pleasant experience. 6.What did the author say about her students? A.They were very active in class.

A.Courageous and clever. B.Helpful and hard-working. C.Creative and kind. D.Strict and careful. C Pigs may be more intelligent than people thought, as shown in a study where pigs used a joystick (操纵杆) and played a video game. Researchers used 2-year-old Panepinto micro pigs called Ebony and Ivory, as well as Hamlet and Omelet, 3-month-old Yorkshire pigs. Researchers first taught these pigs how to play with a joystick, teaching them the word, “joystick”. Next, on the words “watch the screen”， they learned how to watch targets (目标) on the screen. Of course, praise was given to the active pigs winning a game. During the experiment, all pigs performed well. As they became more successful, the level of difficulty increased, just like in human video games! At first, the pigs had to hit a three-walled target which was then reduced to two walls and then one wall. All pigs did well with the three-walled targets, however, the Panepinto pigs performed better on the more difficult levels. One disadvantage for the Yorkshire pigs was that they simply grew so large that they could no longer fit in their test. After a few months, Omelet and Hamlet were taken away from the experiment. Dr.Candace Croney, a leading animal behavior scientist in Cambridge, said, “The findings of the study are important because what we do to pigs matters to them. It would be nice for people to realize how special pigs are, and how much more intelligent they may be than we recognized.” The researchers said that the pigs’ actions were deliberate (故意的). This led them to believe that pigs were able to successfully do new tasks. “It may encourage other researchers to use touch screens and computer technology to study pigs’ intelligence in the future,” Croney said. The team hopes this type of research will make people pay more attention to this farm animal and show people how they can change the lives of animals. 8.What did the researchers do to the pigs at the beginning? A.They studied their habits. B.They gave them enough food. C.They gave them special names. D.They trained them to play a game. 9.What could we find about the pigs in the experiment? A.They could keep focused for a long time. B.They tried hard to win the games for praise. C.They did all the tasks without any difficulty. D.They got harder tasks as their performance improved. 10.What made Omelet and Hamlet unsuitable for the experiment later? A.Their intelligence. B.Their body size. C.Their power. D.Their weight. 11.What is Croney’s attitude towards the results of the study? A.Positive. B.Doubtful. C.Uncertain. D.Surprised. D Bogre Udell, who speaks four languages, met Frederico Andrade, who speaks five, at the Parsons New School in New York City. In 2014, they started a project to make the first public records of every language in the world. They’ve already recorded more than 350 languages, and plan to hit 1，000 in the coming years. “When humans lose a language, we also lose greater diversity (多样化) in art and traditions,” said Bogre Udell. Between 1950 and 2010, 230 languages disappeared. Today, a third of the world’s languages have fewer than 1,000 speakers left.Every two weeks a language dies with its last speaker, and 50 to 90 percent of them are said to disappear by the next century. Wikitongues has asked for volunteers in 40 countries to film native speakers talking in the past, present, and future tenses of their mother languages. Native speakers are asked to recall childhood, share their stories, and discuss their hopes and goals.One volunteer in the South Pacific islands of Vanuatu recorded a language that had never been studied by language experts before.Another volunteer found a speaker of Ainu, a language in Japan that has no relation to any other known language, and he also recorded it. However, priceless recording opportunities disappear regularly. Not long ago, one of the last two speakers of a Saami language in the Russian steppes died right before his recording session with Wikitongues. A lack of protection and globalization are responsible for diminishing language diversity. For much of the 20th century, governments across the world forced some local people to use official languages. More than 100 languages in Australia have disappeared since European settlers arrived.However, most languages die today because of other factors; climate change and urbanization contribute (是……的原因之一) greatly to the disappearance of languages. 12.What does the author point out in Paragraph 2? A.Language loss is becoming very serious. B.Few people are worried about language loss. C.Language loss makes it difficult for people to communicate. D.Some countries fail to slow down the process of language loss. 13.How do volunteers help protect languages? A.By writing down native speakers’ stories. B.By learning languages from native speakers. C.By improving the living conditions of native speakers. D.By videoing native speakers talking in their languages. 14.What does the underlined word “diminishing” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Creating. B.Valuing. C.Decreasing. D.Encouraging. 15.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A.Where language loss spreads. B.What causes language loss. C.How to deal with language loss. D.What language loss brings to people. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you are like most international students, you are probably pretty comfortable reading and writing in English. 16 Below are some tips to help you to improve your conversational skills. Make friends with American students. Many international students end up making friends with only other international students. 17 Hanging out with natives not only naturally pushes you to improve your spoken English, but also helps you pick up cultural and social information. Learn from American friends. Tell your American friends that you are trying to improve your listening and speaking skills and would like them to help you if you pronounce a word incorrectly or misuse an idiom. 18 Increase your knowledge. 19 If you have known about the topics that are likely to be discussed in conversation, you will have a much better chance of understanding people when they talk, and of being able to express yourself well. 20 If you have to explain something to someone, you will have a strong desire to pronounce everything as well as you can and find other ways to explain yourself. Finally, this will become a good habit. Many people asked me how I learned to speak English fluently, and I think it is because I have been a math teacher in college for years. A.It is bad for them to do that. B.You will make progress this way. C.If possible, become a teacher at your school. D.Explaining everything in a different way counts. E.It’s a win-win opportunity for international students. F.Keep up with news and watch popular shows and movies. G.You may have trouble listening and speaking in the language, however. 第二部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15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。 Throughout history, people have been interested in knowing how language first began, but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. 21 ，we do know a lot about 22 ， the languages of today and also the languages of 23 times.
