When I was a child, my parents always told me that I should never talk to strangers because it was not safe. This was part of a whole list of things I should never do: Never accept food or candy from strangers, never get in a car with strangers, and so on.
But if we didn’t start a conversation with strangers, we’d never make new friends. We’d never get a job. We may miss the joy that comes from talking with strangers. And the more people you know, the more chances you can get. So I have some advice on how to break the ice.
Don’t just look at your shoes. Go and say “Hi” to that new person. It will be easier to break the ice if you know more about different cultures.
British: Beautiful day, isn’t it?
The weather in Britain is changeable. So, it is one of the topics the British care about most.
French: Where did you go on a holiday?
To talk with a French person, the safest way is to ask his or her holiday. French students enjoy a 10-day holiday every two months. The French get more than six weeks of holiday every year.
American: So, where are you from?
The USA is so big and people move so often that place is always a topic of talk. You can try to find a conversation with the place they’re from. For example, if someone is from Los Angeles, you could say, “Oh, I have a friend who studied there.”
21. Why did the writers parents tell him not to talk to strangers?

阅读材料,将5位同学遇到的问题、困难与专家给的建议进行匹配。
____26____ It is difficult to learn a language only if you don’t want to. Learning a language takes time, but it’s not difficult. You mostly need to listen and read. Believe me, it is that simple. I have done it many times. Soon you will feel the happiness of understanding another language.
____27____ No, you don’t. Anyone who wants to can learn. In many western countries, most people speak more than one language. They can’t just all be gifted (有天赋的) at languages. In language learning, it is attitude, not abilities, that decides success.
____28____ With the Internet, language is connected to anyone with a computer, and you can download it to your phone (手机) and listen. Where you live is not very important.
____29____ Recent research has showed that our brains keep plastic (可塑性) well into old age. Adults who lose their eyesight have to learn a new language, braille (盲文), for example. Adults have a large vocabulary in their own language. I have learned 4 languages since the age of 55. Adults just need to be willing to try and communicate like children without fear of being laughed at.
____30____ How about the time you spend waiting in line, commuting (通勤), doing things around the house, going for a walk? Why not use that time to listen to a language on your phone? Once you get started, even 10 or 15 minutes a day will soon grow to 30 minutes a day, or one hour. If you believe, you will achieve great results. And if you enjoy doing it, you will find the time.
A. Only children can learn to speak another language well.
B. I would love to learn, but I don’t have the time.
C. You have to live where the language is spoken.
D. Language learning is difficult.
E. You must have a gift for learning languages.

五、语法填空

Once upon a time, there was a man named Lazy. He wanted to have a big house and it took him over a year to build one. The house was so beautiful that all of his ____41____ (neighbor) admired him very much.
But as time went by, his house started to have some problems. One day, ____42____ old neighbor went past it and said, “Your house is beautiful, but the grass in the yard is a bit overgrown.” Lazy answered ____43____ (quick), “ I know, but it’s OK. I ____44____ (cut) it tomorrow.”
A few days later, a postman came by with a letter for Lazy. The postman said. “Sir, your house is wonderful, but the windows are a bit dirty. You can make it more wonderful by ____45____ (clean) them.” Lazy replied reluctantly (不情愿地) , “I know. But it’s OK. I will do that tomorrow.”
Weeks passed by. Lazy’s yard was in a mess. The paint was falling down and the windows were covered with dirt. One day, his brother came over ____46____ (visit) him. He was ____47____ (surprise) at what he saw and scolded (责备) him angrily. “Lazy. I know why you’re called Lazy. You’re just ____48____ your name! What have you done for your house? It could fall apart at any second!”
Just the next day, after a heavy rainstorm, Lazy’s house fell down!
There are many Lazys around ____49____ (we). Are you lazy, too? Have you ever put off something to “tomorrow”, “next month” ____50____ even “next year”? It’s much better to just deal with things today than to wait until some imaginary (想象的) “tomorrow” that might not actually come.
六、阅读表达
阅读短文,根据要求完成下面各题。
What does taking the train mean to you? Perhaps it’s just a way of getting to your destination (目的地). In fact, the train itself can be part of the fun.
On March 28th, China’s first panda-themed tourist train left Chengdu in Sichuan for Zunyi in Guizhou. It soon became the talk of China with its special design and comfortable service.
Its inside and outside are decorated with giant panda pictures. Attendants (乘务员) carry panda toys and passengers can try panda-shaped food and Sichuan snacks. Some people call it a mobile star hotel because it has a bar, karaoke room, dance hall, and mahjong (麻将) room.
This luxury (高档的) service is one aspect that has attracted travelers. But train travel interests people for other reasons.
In the fast-paced times we live in, train travel is a good way to slow down. It gives you time and space to read, sleep, chat with friends, or simply do nothing but watch the changing scenery outside.
One surprising thing is that you might meet new people. Sheng Yawei, 26, once took the longest railway in the world-the Trans-Siberian Railway. Sheng met a Russian student and they became friends. “I also met a cute boy who gave me melon seeds (瓜子). Though we didn’t understand each other’s language, it made me feel nice.”
51. When did China’s first panda-themed tourist train leave Chengdu for Zunyi?
____________________________________________________________________
52. Why did the panda-themed tourist train become the talk of China?
____________________________________________________________________
53. What food does this train provide for passengers?
____________________________________________________________________
54. What is a surprising thing about the train travel?
____________________________________________________________________
55. Do you want to take the panda-themed tourist train? Why or why not?
_____________________________________________________________________
七.书面表达
56. 为了调动同学们学习英语的积极性,展现同学们英语学习的风采,学校英语社团Shining English Club举办了一个主题为“How to Improve Our English?”的演讲活动。请大家围绕这一主题创作一篇演讲稿,谈谈英语学习的重要性并分享好的英语学习方法帮助大家共同学好英语。
要求:

When I was a child, my parents always told me that I should never talk to strangers because it was not safe. This was part of a whole list of things I should never do: Never accept food or candy from strangers, never get in a car with strangers, and so on.
But if we didn’t start a conversation with strangers, we’d never make new friends. We’d never get a job. We may miss the joy that comes from talking with strangers. And the more people you know, the more chances you can get. So I have some advice on how to break the ice.

六、阅读表达
阅读短文,根据要求完成下面各题。
What does taking the train mean to you? Perhaps it’s just a way of getting to your destination (目的地). In fact, the train itself can be part of the fun.
On March 28th, China’s first panda-themed tourist train left Chengdu in Sichuan for Zunyi in Guizhou. It soon became the talk of China with its special design and comfortable service.
Its inside and outside are decorated with giant panda pictures. Attendants (乘务员) carry panda toys and passengers can try panda-shaped food and Sichuan snacks. Some people call it a mobile star hotel because it has a bar, karaoke room, dance hall, and mahjong (麻将) room.
This luxury (高档的) service is one aspect that has attracted travelers. But train travel interests people for other reasons.
In the fast-paced times we live in, train travel is a good way to slow down. It gives you time and space to read, sleep, chat with friends, or simply do nothing but watch the changing scenery outside.
One surprising thing is that you might meet new people. Sheng Yawei, 26, once took the longest railway in the world-the Trans-Siberian Railway. Sheng met a Russian student and they became friends. “I also met a cute boy who gave me melon seeds (瓜子). Though we didn’t understand each other’s language, it made me feel nice.”
