B Do you still remember what happened when you went to school on the first day?I still remember my interesting first day of school.On that day,I hurried to my science class in the morning and found a seat in the back.I waited there for 15 minutes before the bell rang.The science teacher told us about some class rules.No one talked to me,nor did I talk to anyone else.I was one of those very shy.girls.After the science class,I had an English class.I thought it would be boring but it tumned out to be very funny.When the classes of the morning ended,I went to lunch.I sat outside the dining room with no one to talk to and no food because I was too nervous to join the lunch line.I kept looking around hoping to see someone I knew but I never saw anyone. Lunch ended and I went to have my art class.I was the first one there and not even my teacher was there yet.So I sat at my desk and started drawing some pictures.I didn't notice the rest of the class walking in or the girl who was standing behind me till I was.surprised by the voice,"So what are you drawing?"It was a girl who had really long hair.She ended up being my best friend and one of the kindest and liveliest girls I knew. In the next class meeting,the teacher asked us to talk about the past holiday.I was glad to make some new friends in the class.The first day of high school was hard for me but I got through it. 24.What do we know about the writer's science class?

Pronunciation among the three types of English can be different.In American English,the"r"at the end of a word almost always affects its promunciation,while in Australian and British English, the""is often silent.Australian English is unique due to the fact that many words have sounds that are gone.Instead of saying "good day",Australian speakers say "g'day".The main pronunciation. 4 difference between the three,however,is the pronunciation of the vowel (sounds. Not only do the three types of English.sound different,but they are also spelled differently.In some ways,the spelling shows the difference in pronunciation.For example,Americans use the word airplane.In Great Britain,the word is aeroplane,and it is pronounced with an "o"sound. Another example is the word aluminium,which is the UK spelling,and aluminum is the US spelling. Can you find the difference?In this example,the Australian spelling is the same as the UK spelling. Another common spelling difference between British English and American English is the use of-our or -or at the end of a.word..For example,in the UK,colour,flavour,honour are words that all end.with-our.In America,they are spelled with or endings.In Australia,the -our spelling is almost universal. Also,the endings -re and -er are different between different English dialects.In America,you will go to the theater or fitness center,while in Britain you will visit the theatre or fitness centre. Again,Australian English follows the British way. 28.What's the author's purpose in writing this text? A.To show that English has developed differently in different countries B.To tell the differences between American,British and Australian English C.To encourage us to explore the differences of English used in different countries D.To suggest we speak different English when we are chatting with people from different countries 29.The main pronunciation difference between American English and British English lies in A.the sound of"r at the end of words B.the words with sounds that are gone C.the vowel sounds of some words D.the last sound of many words 30.Which of the following words belongs to the Australian spelling? A.Airplane B.Flavor. C.Theater D.Aluminium 31.After reading the text,we can learn that A.Australian English has become the most popular English now B.Australian English is:more difficult to learn than American English C.Australian English is more difficult to follow than American English D.Australian English follows the British way more than the American way D If you want to become a fluent English speaker,you should take some advice:there are.four skills in learning English.They are listening,speaking,reading and writing.The.most importapt thing you must remember is.that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills ofreading and listening. Read as much as you can.But your reading must be active.It:means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences,the meaning of the unfamiliar words,etc. 5 There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar-or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you encounter,but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them,for example in other passages or books,is enough.It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it. As for listening,there are two choices:besides reading,you can listen every day for about 30 minutes.You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading,then you can catch up on your listening.Since you have lots of inputs in your mind,you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say.This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy.Or if you are.good at listening,you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day.Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some,notes. If you follow these pieces of advice,your speaking and writing will improve:automatically,and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect. 32.According to the author,which should you improve first among the four skills? A.Reading and listening B.Reading and writing C.Writing and speaking D.Speaking-and listening 33.To improve your reading,when you read you should. A.look up all the new words in the dictionary B.think about what you are reading actively C.spend more time studying grammar D.copy as many words and sentences as possible 34.The underlined words"encounter"in paragraph 3 probably be replaced by. A.meet by accident B.discover C.find on purpose D.look for 35.The author seems to agree with the view that A.everyone should-listen to VOAror BBC programs.every:day B.you needn't practice listening if you keep reading every day C.being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening D.you should take notes of whatever you are hearing 第二节.（供5小题：每小题2.5分，满分125分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选硕中选出能稹入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Studying longer does'not necessarily mean studying better36Below are some great ways of learning as much as you can without getting too stressed.
