(我坚信，当你在异国他乡时，学习不同的语言会让你看起来非常棒，而且你能理解和说这种语言。下面列出了四个帮助你学习外语的应用程序！你可以免费下载)”。结合文章主要介绍了四款可以用来进行语言学习的应用程序。由此可推知，这篇文章的目的是介绍语言学习应用程序。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“You can then have text, voice and video conversations with people who want to learn your native language, and in return you learn theirs, all by simply communicating with each other. (你可以与那些想要学习你的母语的人进行文字、语音和视频对话，作为回报，你可以学习他们的母语，所有这些都只是通过彼此交流)”可知，如果你想通过交流来学习，Tandem: Language Exchange最适合。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“You can download(下载) them for free.”可知，你可以免费下载这四种学习软件。故选D。 B There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting. When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, I didn’t know what it meant. Realising I didn’t follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.  Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk. Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn’t follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber. In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English. 4. When Lily used the word “larder”, she was probably looking for a _________. A. cup B. ladder C. cupboard D. cooker 5. What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Wrote down. B. Left behind. C. Looked for. D. Settled down. 6. Last week, Lily regretted sending her boys to watch a tennis game mainly because _________. A. she thought the game was boring B. she wanted to spend time with her boys C. she didn’t dress her boys in thick clothes D. her boys lost their way 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. The British way of using words. B. Some new words the writer’s British friends taught her. C. The reasons why Americans can’t follow the British at times. D. Some words used differently in British English and American English. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要阐述了美式英语和英式英语之间存在一些差异，并通过作者与来自伦敦的朋友莉莉以及英国朋友简的交流实例，具体呈现了这些差异在词汇使用上的体现。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”,I didn’t know what it meant.Realising I didn’t follow her,she used another word.I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. (当我来自伦敦的朋友莉莉使用“larder”这个词时，我不知道它是什么意思。意识到我不理解她的意思后，她换了另一个词。我最终知道她是想找个东西来存放一些食物。)”可知，莉莉使用“larder”这个词时是在找能存放食物的东西，所以应是cupboard(橱柜)。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. (她在日记里 了日期和时间，而我在日历上做了标记。)”，“while”表示对比关系，“marked my calendar (在日历上做标记)”意思是记录日期和时间，由此可推测“jotted down”意思与记录相关，所以应和wrote down同义，意为“写下”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. (上周，她后悔送她的儿子们去看一场清晨的网球比赛，而且他们没有穿羊毛套衫。我认为她的意思是他们没有穿夹克或类似的衣服。)”可知，莉莉后悔送儿子去看比赛是因为儿子们没有穿像羊毛套衫、夹克这类厚衣服，而清晨的天气可能较冷，没穿厚衣服容易受冻。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting. (美式英语和英式英语之间存在一些差异。有些差异非常有趣。)”，可知美式英语和英式英语之间存在一些差异；根据第三段“Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk. (大多数时候，我能理解莉莉的意思。上周，她后悔没让她的孩子们穿上厚衣服去看一场清晨的网球赛。我原以为她是指没让他们带夹克之类的东西。其他时候，我们不得不互相询问。她最近给我讲了一个关于一个愤怒的女人的有趣故事。我很好奇是什么让这位女士如此生气。原来“pissed”在这里是“喝醉”的意思。)”可知，作者通过与莉莉、简的交流事例，详细说明了在词汇使用方面英式英语和美式英语的不同之处。故选D项。 C Where in the classroom do you prefer to sit,and why? Scientists have discovered that seating preference not only shows students’ personalities,but has a great influence on their school performance.Generally speaking,students show different attitudes depending on where they sit. Based on the research, scientists have developed a funnel-like(像漏斗的) model of “learning zones(区域)” to see the relationship between seating and active learning. In this model,the mouth of the funnel(A) is the best position for learning. Students in this front area prove to be the most active learners.They show a greater desire(渴求) for learning,which leads them to focus(集中注意力) better and take a more active part than the rest of the class.Those in the neck of the funnel(B) don’t pay the same close attention,but they ask a lot of questions,partly because of the added confidence they feel from being in a safe zone, with others around them. Less desirable is the area “outside the funnel(C,D),” which refers to the side and the back rows,where students take a less active part in classroom activities and find it hard to focus their attention, falling asleep at times. Studies about learning zones suggest that a change in traditional seating plans can benefit students. In fact, a growing number of teachers have begun less traditional seating plans,such as “U-Type”.There are no side and back areas,so teachers can expect their students to take part in activities more actively and increase student-teacher interaction(互动). 8. According to scientists,students’ learning is greatly influenced by . A. the number of students B. the time of class C. seating positions D. the size of the classroom 9. It turns out that the students sitting in Area B . A. sometimes fall asleep B. feel safe and confident C seldom ask their teachers questions D. try to avoid looking directly at the teacher 10. Which area is most proper for learning? A. Area A. B. Area B. C. Area C. D. Area D. 11. What does the underlined word “benefit” in the last paragraph mean? A. Cause trouble for. B. Take control of. C. Give a warning to. D. Do good to. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。科学家发现，座位偏好不仅能体现学生的个性，而且对他们在学校的表现也有很大的影响。并就班上座位区域对学习的影响进行了具体说明，关于学习区域的研究表明，改变传统的座位安排可以使学生受益。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Scientists have discovered that seating preference not only shows students’ personalities, but has a great influence on their school performance.(科学家发现，座位偏好不仅能体现学生的个性，而且对他们在学校的表现也有很大的影响)”可知，科学家发现学生的在校表现受到座位的影响。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Those in the neck of the funnel(B) don’t pay the same close attention, but they ask a lot of questions, partly because of the added confidence they feel from being in a safe zone, with others around them.(处于漏斗颈部的人（B区），他们的注意力没有那么集中，但他们会问很多问题，部分原因是他们在安全区域内，有其他人环绕着他们，给他们增加了信心)”可知，坐在B区域的学生被其他学生环绕，因此觉得既安全又自信。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In this model, the mouth of the funnel(A) is the best position for learning.( 在这个模型中，漏斗口（A区）是学习的最佳位置)”可知，A区域是最适合学习的位置。故选A。 【11题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“In fact, a growing number of teachers have begun less traditional seating plans, such as ‘U-Type’. There are no side and back areas, so teachers can expect their students to take part in activities more actively and increase student-teacher interaction(互动).(事实上，越来越多的老师开始采用不那么传统的座位安排，比如“U型”。没有侧面和后方区域，老师可以期待学生更积极地参与活动，增加师生互动)”可知，越来越多的老师取消了教室侧面和后方区域，采用不那么传统的座位安排，这样学生也能更积极地参与活动，增加师生互动，这一做法说明改变传统的座位安排会使学生受益。故画线词意思为“对……有益”。故选D。 D Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them. Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that. Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival. 12. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times? A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number. C. They had similar patters. D. They were closely connected 13. Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？ A. Complex. B. Advanced. C. Powerful. D. Modern. 14. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present? A. About 6,800 . B. About 3,400 C. About 2,400 D. About 1,200. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. New languages will be created. B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages. C. Human development results in fewer languages. D. Geography determines language evolution. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了随着社会的发展人类语言越来越少及其原因。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other... when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.可知，当世界以依靠狩猎为生的人组成的时候，小而联系紧密的群落形成了他们彼此之间独立的讲话模式……当世界上的人口数量不到一千万时，语言种类达到了12,000种。由此推知，当时的语言种类很多。故选B。 【13题详解】 猜测词义题。根据文章第二段中的dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.可知，英语、西班牙语和汉语正在快速替代其他语言。由此推知dominant languages意为“强有力的语言”。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的At present, the world has about 6,800 languages.和The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that. 可知，目前世界上大约有6800种语言，但是讲的人数少于6000人的占一半即3400。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨要义题。根据文章第一段中的主题句Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.可知，语言的产生和消失进行了几千年，但最近语言产生的少，消失的太多。故选C。 点睛：长难句解读 In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. 分析：dominant前的and连接两个并列句，all和前面的名词短语trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications是同位语。 句意：在最近的几个世纪，贸易、工业化、民族国家的发展和全球义务教育的普及，尤其是过去几十年来，全球化和更好的交流，这些都导致许多语言消失。而且像英语、西班牙语和汉语等主流语言正日益占据主导地位。 第二节(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to learn English well All English learners want to improve their English, but as you know, it can be difficult! ___16___The four main areas for you are: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

This also made me realize that there is ____37____pine nor apple in pineapple. What ____38____ (make) English a crazy language to learn? For example, while we’re traveling, we can get seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in ____39____car, but we don’t get homesick when we get back home. If harmless ____40____ (action) are the opposite of harmful actions, why are____41____ (shame) and shameful behaviors the same? We can say “it’s raining” or “it's snowing”, but we can’t say “it’s sunshining”. Even the ____42____ (small) words can be confusing, such as the “WHO” in a medical report, “IT” and “US” , which have nothing to do with “who” “it” and “us”. You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in ____43____ a house can burn up as it burns down. The key to your confusion is that English ____44____ (invent) by people, not computers, and it _____45_____ (reflect) the creativity of the human race. 【答案】36. learning 37. neither 38. makes 39. a 40. actions 41. shameless 42. smallest 43. which 44. was invented 45 reflects 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过列举一些英语中令人困惑的词汇和表达，探讨了英语为何是一门让人觉得“疯狂”的语言，指出英语是由人创造的，反映了人类的创造力。 【36题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：我从未想过为什么人们在学习英语上会有困难，直到有一天我的儿子问我汉堡包里是否有火腿。固定短语have trouble doing sth意为“做某事有困难”，此处应用动词-ing形式。故填learning。 【37题详解】 考查连词。句意：这也让我意识到菠萝里既没有松树也没有苹果。固定搭配neither...nor...“既不……也不……”。故填neither。 【38题详解】 考查动词时态。句意：是什么让英语成为一门学起来很疯狂的语言呢？此处what作主语，谓语动词应用单数形式，且句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，所以make要用第三人称单数形式。故填makes。 【39题详解】 考查冠词。句意：例如，当我们旅行时，我们在海上会晕船，在空中会晕机，在车里会晕车，但当我们回到家时却不会想家。此处泛指“一辆车”，car是以辅音音素开头的单词，应用不定冠词a。故填a。 【40题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：如果无害的行为是有害行为的对立面，为什么无耻的行为和可耻的行为是一样的呢？根据空后的are可知，主语应用复数形式，action是可数名词，应用复数形式。故填actions。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：同上。根据空后的“and shameful behaviors(无耻的行为)”以及“the same(相同)”可知，此处应填与 shameful含义相近的形容词，shame的形容词形式有shameful(可耻的)和shameless(无耻的)，两者含义相近，故填shameless。 【42题详解】 考查形容词最高级。句意：甚至最小的单词也可能会让人困惑，比如医学报告中的“WHO”，“IT”和“US”，它们与“who”“it”和“us”毫无关系。根据下文“such as the “WHO” in a medical report, “IT” and “US”(比如医学报告中的“WHO”，“IT”和“US”)”可知，此处表示 “最小的”，应用形容词的最高级形式。故填smallest。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：你也不得不惊叹于一门语言的独特“疯狂”之处，在这门语言中，一所房子既可以说“burn up(烧毁)”，也可以说“burn down(烧毁)”。这是一个“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句，先行词是a language，指物，关系词在从句中作介词in的宾语，应用关系代词which。故填which。 【44题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：你感到困惑的关键在于英语是由人发明的，而不是由电脑发明的，并且它反映了人类的创造力。English与invent之间是被动关系，且发明英语这一动作发生在过去，应用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为“was/were+过去分词”，English是不可数名词，be动词用was。故填was invented。 【45题详解】 考查时态和主谓一致。句意：同上。空白处在句子中作谓语，此处描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语it是第三人称单数，所以reflect要用第三人称单数形式。故填reflects。 第四部分　任务型阅读（共两节，满分20分） 任务型阅读 Jenny frowned (皱眉) as she helped her mother and father set out the cooking supplies in the shiny steel kitchen. Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days. “Moving here was a stupid idea,” Jenny complained mostly to herself. “What’s that?” her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing,” Jenny mumbled (咕哝). The girl had been angry about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints. The first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed like the students hadn’t even noticed her. Jenny sighed and got back to washing dishes. On the day of the grand opening, Jenny’s parents were all smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Jenny was happy as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her family. At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Jenny’s age. As she filled their glasses, Jenny realized the twins were in her class. Jenny lowered her head down so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table. Jenny’s mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher. “Honey, what are you doing back here? We need you out front with the customers.” “Mom, I don’t want to be out there. There are kids from school!” “So?” her mother asked. “That’s good! Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello!” she said to Jenny, pointing at the fortune cookies paper which read, “Many friends are found with a single smile.” 46. 根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词仅用一次，有两词为多余选项。 hide recognize kind welcome ignore delight pour shame intend anger frighten start Before the grand opening Jenny’ s family had moved here to ______ a restaurant in a few days.

Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello!” she said to Jenny, pointing at the fortune cookies paper which read, “Many friends are found with a single smile.”(“所以呢？她妈妈问。“这很好！去给他们带些幸运饼干，打声招呼！”她指着幸运饼干的包装纸对珍妮说，上面写着：“许多朋友都是用一个微笑找到的。”)”可知，珍妮的妈妈让她出去用幸运饼干向女孩们表示善意。第十空填kindness； 故填①start；②angry；③ignored；④were welcoming/welcomed；⑤delightedly；⑥pouring；⑦recognized；⑧ashamed；⑨hid；⑩kindness。 【47题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days.(她的家人刚从旧金山搬到这里，盘下了一家小餐馆，几天后就要开业了)”可知，珍妮抱怨从旧金山搬来这里。故答案为Moving here from San Francisco. 【48题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第五段“At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Jenny’s age.

The list below is 4 apps that will help you learn a foreign language! You can download them for free. Babbel – Learn Languages Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step with learning a new language. It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments.

It’s incredibly well designed, looks great and will help you learn, remember and progress with just a little bit of time every day.

When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, I didn’t know what it meant. Realising I didn’t follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.  Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk. Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn’t follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber. In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English. 4. When Lily used the word “larder”, she was probably looking for a _________. A. cup B. ladder C. cupboard D. cooker 5. What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Wrote down. B. Left behind. C. Looked for. D. Settled down. 6. Last week, Lily regretted sending her boys to watch a tennis game mainly because _________. A. she thought the game was boring B. she wanted to spend time with her boys C. she didn’t dress her boys in thick clothes D. her boys lost their way 7 What is the passage mainly about? A. The British way of using words. B. Some new words the writer’s British friends taught her. C. The reasons why Americans can’t follow the British at times. D. Some words used differently in British English and American English. C Where in the classroom do you prefer to sit,and why? Scientists have discovered that seating preference not only shows students’ personalities,but has a great influence on their school performance.Generally speaking,students show different attitudes depending on where they sit. Based on the research, scientists have developed a funnel-like(像漏斗的) model of “learning zones(区域)” to see the relationship between seating and active learning. In this model,the mouth of the funnel(A) is the best position for learning. Students in this front area prove to be the most active learners.They show a greater desire(渴求) for learning,which leads them to focus(集中注意力) better and take a more active part than the rest of the class.Those in the neck of the funnel(B) don’t pay the same close attention,but they ask a lot of questions,partly because of the added confidence they feel from being in a safe zone, with others around them. Less desirable is the area “outside the funnel(C,D),” which refers to the side and the back rows,where students take a less active part in classroom activities and find it hard to focus their attention, falling asleep at times. Studies about learning zones suggest that a change in traditional seating plans can benefit students. In fact, a growing number of teachers have begun less traditional seating plans,such as “U-Type”.There are no side and back areas,so teachers can expect their students to take part in activities more actively and increase student-teacher interaction(互动). 8. According to scientists,students’ learning is greatly influenced by . A. the number of students B. the time of class C. seating positions D. the size of the classroom 9. It turns out that the students sitting in Area B . A. sometimes fall asleep B. feel safe and confident C. seldom ask their teachers questions D. try to avoid looking directly at the teacher 10. Which area is most proper for learning? A. Area A. B. Area B. C. Area C. D. Area D. 11. What does the underlined word “benefit” in the last paragraph mean? A. Cause trouble for. B. Take control of. C. Give a warning to. D. Do good to. D Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit(联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them. Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over. At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages. Often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 Languages: the Americas about 1,000, Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number(中位数) of speakers is a mere 6，000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that. Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150). Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival. 12. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times? A. They developed very fast. B. They were large in number. C. They had similar patters. D. They were closely connected 13. Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？ A. Complex. B. Advanced. C. Powerful. D. Modern. 14. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present? A. About 6,800 . B. About 3,400 C. About 2,400 D. About 1,200. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. New languages will be created. B. Peoples lifestyles are reflected in languages. C. Human development results in fewer languages. D. Geography determines language evolution. 第二节(共5小题,每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to learn English well All English learners want to improve their English but as you know, it can be difficult! ___16___The four main areas for you are: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

Her family had just moved here from San Francisco, having bought a small restaurant, which was set to open in the next few days. “Moving here was a stupid idea,” Jenny complained mostly to herself. “What’s that?” her mother asked, opening a box and lifting out several pots. “Nothing,” Jenny mumbled (咕哝). The girl had been angry about the move, but her parents had made the decision and were now too busy getting ready for the grand opening to listen to her complaints. The first few days at her new school hadn’t been easy, either. She found it hard to talk to people she didn’t know, and it seemed like the students hadn’t even noticed her. Jenny sighed and got back to washing dishes. On the day of the grand opening, Jenny’s parents were all smiles, welcoming customers into the restaurant, brightly decorated in gold and red. Even Jenny was happy as she rushed around, seating guests, handing out menus, and pouring tall glasses of water. This was a big day for her family. At one of the tables sat a family with two daughters who were about Jenny’s age. As she filled their glasses, Jenny realized the twins were in her class. Jenny lowered her head down so her long hair covered her face, and she turned away from the table. Jenny’s mother found her soon after, in the kitchen loading the dishwasher. “Honey, what are you doing back here? We need you out front with the customers.” “Mom, I don’t want to be out there. There are kids from school!” “So?” her mother asked. “That’s good! Go to take them some fortune cookies and say hello!” she said to Jenny, pointing at the fortune cookies paper which read, “Many friends are found with a single smile.” 46. 根据文本内容从方框中选择恰当的词并用其正确形式填入文本图示中，每词仅用一次，有两词为多余选项。 hide recognize kind welcome ignore delight pour shame intend anger frighten start Before the grand opening Jenny’ s family had moved here to ______ a restaurant in a few days.
