Passage 2
How can you remember a song for a long time? Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? There is a reason for this.
Scientists are studying something between music and remembering a foreign language, like English. “Singing could be a new way of learning, especially for learning a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things in a catchy and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song,” said Dr Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On his blog, Dr Ludke wrote, “A listen-and-repeat (重复) singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future study in this area.”
Many language teachers know the importance of music and often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington D.C., likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids, we usually use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics (歌词). Not only does it work, but it is fun for children.” “Sometimes I think if I had learnt English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better,” Hua Zhuying added.
Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out?
5.How does the writer start the passage?
A.By giving examples. B.By telling a story.
C.By showing numbers. D.By asking questions.
6.What does the underlined word “catchy” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Easy to remember. B.Fast to read.
C.Slow to follow. D.Hard to understand.
7.What do we know about Hua Zhuying?
A.She is an English and music teacher in China. B.She teaches Chinese in an English language school in Washington D.C.
C.She teaches little children Chinese lyrics with English songs. D.She spoke English much better when she was young.
8.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Learning foreign languages can open the door for future.
B.It’s helpful for children to learn foreign languages in music.
C.Teachers should have some special ways to teach students.
D.Languages help when we have problems in singing foreign songs.

Passage 3
People use their mouths for many things. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.
Sometimes, people say something to a friend or a family member. Later they regret because it hurts that person’s feeling. Or they tell the person something they didn’t mean to tell. The speaker might say, “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” Sometimes when one person says the same words that his friend is going to say, the friend might say, “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or sad experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth”. Or the person possibly has a very frightening (可怕的) experience, like having an angry dog running after him. He might say, “ I had my heart in my mouth.” Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. You might say “they were born with silver spoons (银勺) in their mouths”. They are the opposite of a person living from “ hand to mouth”. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.

【导语】本文主要介绍了关于“mouth”习语的不同表达。
10.词义猜测题。根据“Later they regret because it hurts that person’s feeling.”可知,说过伤害他人感受的话会感到懊悔、过意不去。所以,regret意为“懊悔,过意不去”。故选A。
11.推理判断题。根据“Or the person possibly has a very frightening (可怕的) experience, like having an angry dog running after him.”可知,当一个人遭遇了可怕的事情,他可能会说:“I had my heart in my mouth.”,这意味着他感到害怕。故选B。
12.推理判断题。根据“This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things”可知,此人非常贫穷,仅能勉强维持生计,因此生活是“艰难的”。故选B。
13.细节理解题。根据“Sometimes when one person says the same words that his friend is going to say, the friend might say, ‘You took the words right out my mouth!’ ”可知,对方认同你的建议会说“You took the words right out my mouth!”。故选C。

Passage 4
Do you speak a dialect (方言) in daily life? While many Chinese people speak Putonghua, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save and preserve (保护) them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago.
This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5. 6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos.
Why is it important to protect the dialect culture? According to the British language expert Harold Palmer, “dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language exactly shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of an area,” he said.
Researcher Zhang Hongming expressed his worry over the disappearance of dialects. “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. At the same time, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said. “So how did China make this big library? A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, top expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers. The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects.
15.What is the main purpose of the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project?
A.To perfect all dialects. B.To save and preserve local dialects in China.
C.To control local dialects. D.To regard Putonghua as the only language.
16.How many dialects are in danger of disappearing according to the passage?
A.103. B.350. C.1,712. D.6,000.
17.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 2 refer to ?
A.A dialect. B.The language. C.A talk. D.The project.
18.What does Harold Palmer think is the significance of protecting dialect cultures?
A.Dialects are useful for learning Putonghua.
B.Dialects help improve cultural communication and tourism.
C.Dialects are an expression of local history, beliefs, and biases.
D.Dialects should be replaced by international languages like English.
19.What is the situation of Wu dialect speakers in Shanghai and Suzhou nowadays?
A.Children aged 6 to 15 can speak the dialect easily.
B.The dialect is widely spoken and well-preserved in these areas.
C.The Wu dialect is disappearing rapidly among younger people.
D.Young people above 15 years old can understand and speak the dialect well.
【答案】15.B 16.A 17.D 18.C 19.C
【导语】本文主要介绍了为了防止一些地方方言消失,中国政府启动了汉语资源保护项目。
15.细节理解题。根据“To save and preserve (保护) them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago.”可知这个项目的目的是为了保护和保存地方方言。故选B。
16.细节理解题。根据“Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone”可知103种方言有消失的危险。故选A。
17.词义猜测题。根据“This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world”可知这个项目帮助中国建立了世界上最大的语言资源库,故此处It指代“这个项目”。故选D。
18.细节理解题。根据“dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language exactly shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of an area”可知方言是储存当地文化的关键,语言准确地展示了一个地区的历史、信仰和偏见。故选C。
19.细节理解题。根据“For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. At the same time, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear”可知现在年轻人几乎不会说吴语,它正在年轻人中迅速消失。故选C。

Passage 2
How can you remember a song for a long time? Why does your teacher use songs to teach you English? There is a reason for this.
Scientists are studying something between music and remembering a foreign language, like English. “Singing could be a new way of learning, especially for learning a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things in a catchy and relaxing way. For example, children can remember difficult words quickly when they are in a song,” said Dr Karen Ludke. If children find it difficult to learn foreign languages, this new way may help. On his blog, Dr Ludke wrote, “A listen-and-repeat (重复) singing way can help to learn foreign languages and open the door for future study in this area.”
Many language teachers know the importance of music and often use it in teaching and learning. Hua Zhuying, a teacher at a Chinese language school in Washington D.C., likes using songs in teaching Chinese. She said, “I use music all the time to teach children Chinese. For little kids, we usually use English songs but teach them the Chinese lyrics (歌词). Not only does it work, but it is fun for children.” “Sometimes I think if I had learnt English that way when I was young, maybe I could speak English much better,” Hua Zhuying added.
Our brain likes music in learning languages, especially for remembering. If you are still having problems in learning a language, why not try singing it out?
5.How does the writer start the passage?
A.By giving examples. B.By telling a story.
C.By showing numbers. D.By asking questions.
6.What does the underlined word “catchy” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Easy to remember. B.Fast to read.

7.What do we know about Hua Zhuying?
A.She is an English and music teacher in China. B.She teaches Chinese in an English language school in Washington D.C.
C.She teaches little children Chinese lyrics with English songs. D.She spoke English much better when she was young.
8.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Learning foreign languages can open the door for future.
B.It’s helpful for children to learn foreign languages in music.
C.Teachers should have some special ways to teach students.
D.Languages help when we have problems in singing foreign songs.
9.What’s the best title for this passage?
A.The Importance of Music
B.The Songs About Teaching English
C.Study Music and a Foreign Language
D.Learning Foreign Languages in Music
Passage 3
People use their mouths for many things. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.
Sometimes, people say something to a friend or a family member. Later they regret because it hurts that person’s feeling. Or they tell the person something they didn’t mean to tell. The speaker might say, “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” Sometimes when one person says the same words that his friend is going to say, the friend might say, “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or sad experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth”. Or the person possibly has a very frightening (可怕的) experience, like having an angry dog running after him. He might say, “ I had my heart in my mouth.” Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. You might say “they were born with silver spoons (银勺) in their mouths”. They are the opposite of a person living from “ hand to mouth”. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.

Passage 4
Do you speak a dialect (方言) in daily life? While many Chinese people speak Putonghua, some local dialects are in danger of disappearing. To save and preserve (保护) them, the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago.
This project looks at how people talk in 1,712 places. Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone. It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world. There’s an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5. 6 million audio clips (音频) and over 5 million videos.
Why is it important to protect the dialect culture? According to the British language expert Harold Palmer, “dialects are a key to store local cultures. Language exactly shows the history, the beliefs and the biases (偏见) of an area,” he said.
Researcher Zhang Hongming expressed his worry over the disappearance of dialects. “For about over 10 years, in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou, children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect. At the same time, young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it, but not very well. If this keeps happening, the dialect might disappear,” he said. “So how did China make this big library? A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen,” said Cao Zhiyun, top expert on the project. Over five years, more than 350 universities and research groups joined in, along with over 4,500 experts and more than 6,000 dialect speakers. The project is now entering into its second part. This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people learn dialects.
15.What is the main purpose of the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project?
A.To perfect all dialects. B.To save and preserve local dialects in China.
C.To control local dialects. D.To regard Putonghua as the only language.
16.How many dialects are in danger of disappearing according to the passage?
A.103. B.350. C.1,712. D.6,000.
17.What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 2 refer to ?
A.A dialect. B.The language. C.A talk. D.The project.
18.What does Harold Palmer think is the significance of protecting dialect cultures?
A.Dialects are useful for learning Putonghua.
B.Dialects help improve cultural communication and tourism.
C.Dialects are an expression of local history, beliefs, and biases.
D.Dialects should be replaced by international languages like English.
19.What is the situation of Wu dialect speakers in Shanghai and Suzhou nowadays?
A.Children aged 6 to 15 can speak the dialect easily.
B.The dialect is widely spoken and well-preserved in these areas.
C.The Wu dialect is disappearing rapidly among younger people.
D.Young people above 15 years old can understand and speak the dialect well.

Schools in different countries have many differences, but they also have some things in common. Let’s take a look at schools in three countries: China, the UK and Australia.
In China, students usually go to school from Monday to Friday. They have many subjects, including Chinese, maths, English, physics, chemistry and biology. The school day usually starts at 8:00 am and ends at 5:00 pm. After school, many students go to after-school classes to learn more or to practise their skills, like playing the piano or painting. They also have a lot of homework to do every day.
In the UK, the school year is divided into three terms. The first term starts in September, the second in January and the third in April. Students have different subjects such as English, maths, science, history, geography, art and PE. The school day usually starts at 9:00 am and ends at 3:30 pm.
