This class is part of an increasingly popular movement to revive the local dialect, once spoken by millions but now has almost died out. “We’ve got to get more young people involved (参与), ” says Dimbleby. The feedback so far has been positive, but the class is mostly made up of retirees. He is hoping to run another course on Saturday mornings, when younger people are easy to get to know. “Most people’s experience of dialect is what they heard from their grandparents. They’ve never read it or written it, so it’s been a new experience for them. ” There are some challenges in making it easily used though. As a spoken dialect with many variations (变体), the written form is various. How to correctly spell is a problem, because different people may pronounce it in different ways. For example, “nothing” in Yorkshire is “nowt”, but some people would read “out”, while in most of Yorkshire it has more of an “ohwt” sound that is hard to get across without resorting to the rules of pronunciation. “I’ve always been fascinated by the Yorkshire dialect, ” says Joanna Kaye, a retired host. “When we were children, we learned all Queen’s English. My mother, although she taught me to speak properly, could speak in the dialect. ” Jean Crampton, here for the first time, has a notebook to write down words used by her parents, who died more than 10 years ago. “When I dressed up for the first time to go to grammar school, my dad said ‘dun’t she look grand’, ” she said. “And that’s why I’ve come, to be reminded (提醒) of them. After they died, that immediacy disappears, and language is one of the things that can help bring it back into your mind, which is brilliant. ” 4.What is Dimbleby’s suggestion for the dialect class? A. More activities to revive the dialect. B. More courses provided for retirees. C. Greater involvement of young people. D. Greater interest in elderly learners. 5.What does the underlined phrase “resorting to” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Turning to. B. Writing down. C. Summing up. D. Speaking of. 6.What makes Joanna Kaye interested in the Yorkshire dialect? A. The Queen’s charm. B. Her mother’s influence. C. Her childhood dream. D. The requirement for a host. 7.Why did Jean Crampton go to the dialect class? A. To pass on the Yorkshire dialect. B. To share her father’s experiences. C. To learn the Yorkshire dialect grammar. D. To bring back memories from her parents. B Learning a new language can be a big challenge at any age; however, it seems to be especially difficult to master a foreign tongue as we age. When we are growing up, we are building a language system in our mind, which allows us to communicate freely. If we start a new language after youth, however, we are adding a new set of rules to our mind. That is why we find it difficult to learn a new language—we’re building a new speech system when we are not young any more. Why is it easier for kids to learn a new language? Children are relatively more active, open-minded and their language system is not fixed, meaning it is less work for them to pick up new things. The good news is that learning a language isn’t really that hard if you’re opening your mind. But it does take hard work and motivation to achieve your goals. It’s important to remember what you’re actually learning is how to communicate in a new way with other human beings. If you often share your daily experience with others in that language, what you’re learning is related to you. For example, if I’m learning Italian, I would never remember how to say “Dove e la biblioteca?” or “Where is the library?” but I will always remember how to say “Ti piace il caffe?” or “Do you like some coffee?” In addition, TV shows, films and video games in foreign languages are all great forms of entertainment for learning a new language. Anything that relates you to the language and culture is great, so long as you find it enjoyable. Adding a single new word to your vocabulary can be interesting and rewarding. The road to fluency can be hard, but the view along the way is really amazing, so it’s OK if you are driving slowly. 8.What affects language learning according to the first two paragraphs? A. Money. B. Age. C. Mind. D. Work. 9.What can we infer about language learning from paragraph 2? A. Adults can pick up new things quickly. B. Children have a fixed language system. C. Adults find the new rules easy to remember. D. Children outrun adults in language learning. 10.What is helpful for learning a language according to paragraphs 4 and 5? A. Using it in daily life. B. Playing video games. C. Going to the library. D. Taking down its rules. 11.What may be the best title for the passage? A. How to Build up Your Vocabulary? B. Language Learning:Chance or Challenge? C. Why do Children Learn Faster Than Adults?D. Is It Too Late to Master a Foreign Language? 五、七选五 Many people get nervous before taking a test. Some of them are so consumed by anxiety that they actually defeat themselves, performing poorly in the exam even when they know the material they are being tested on. But there are ways to help calm your nerves and be prepared. 　 12 　  Take plenty of time to prepare for each test Use materials to get used to the test’s structure and guidelines. Look up the available instructions on taking computer- and paper-based tests for each exam. 　 13 　 Instead, it is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months. Use sample questions and exercises Examples of actual questions and previously used topics are often available, as well as sample tests. Use these to get as much practice as you can before taking the real exam. 　 14 　  Practice taking the test—even if you’re taking it at home. Allow yourself only the time given for the actual test. Practice working through sections as quickly and effectively as possible, identifying and focusing on areas where you need to improve. Take advantage of all the resources available to you The more you know about a test and how it is scored, the more efficiently you can deal with it. With the development of technology, you have access to so many extra resources that are designed to help you get the most out of your studies. You can explore everything from the websites and online learning tools. 　 15 　  Follow the directions carefully This one is critical. 　 16 　 Don’t worry if you don’t know an answer—concentrate on each question and do the best you can, but don’t spend too much time on any one item either. Be aware of your time, making sure you have enough to answer every question. If you have extra time at the end, then you can go back to check your answers. A. Create a similar test situation. B. Improve your test efficiency. C. It is highly recommended to use the Internet as a resource. D. Studying all night before your test is definitely not advisable! E. You may panic when you see the test if you don’t prepare all along. F. Try these tips to make sure that you’re in a good state of mind on test day. G. You are expected to read all of the instructions thoroughly and completely before beginning. 一、单句语法填空 1．dating　2．has been used　3．as　4．to keep　5．to　6．referring　7．is based　8．Varieties　9．in　10．it　11．to　12．(should) be handed 二、词法突破 1. is known for　2. dates back to　3. led to　4. is regarded as　5. is playing a role in　6. is connected with 三、微写作 1. why I have been reading the English newspaper Youth 2. whose themes vary from politics to entertainment 3. is of great benefit to improving my English ability 4.
