While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal (麦片), eggs and toast. Others had cakes and candy for lunch, while we had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids’. But at least, I was not alone in my suffering. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did. My mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and what we were doing. We had to wear clean clothes every day. Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace (丢脸) because she made our clothes herself, just to save money. The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, “sick” like our friends did, and miss school. My mother was the meanest mother. Out of four children, a couple of us received some higher education. None of us have ever done bad things. She made us grow up into educated and honest adults. Now I am trying to raise my three children like this. I am filled with pride when my children call me a mean mother, because, you see, I had the meanest mother in the world. 9. Which word can probably take the place of the underline word “mean” in the passage? A. brave B. strict C. humours 10. Which of the following things did the writer hate to do most? A. Eating differently from other kids. B. Wearing clean clothes made by mother. C Going to bed early and getting up early. 11. Why was Kate’s mother mean to her children? A. She didn’t like children at all. B. She wanted them to be educated and honest. C. She didn’t know the right way to teach them. 12. Kate was ________ that she had a mean mother after she grew up. A. proud B. angry C. upset D As an Englishman, I can speak three languages—English, German and French, so do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren’t. Some statistics (数据) from the survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe. And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That’s why English people don’t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language. In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only a choice at school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don’t students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history. To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices. Changing the British attitude (态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try! 13. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following about the British people is TRUE? A. They are good language learners. B. 28% of them speak two or more languages. C. More than half of them only speak English. 14. Why do students in Britain often stop learning a foreign language at age 14? A. Because they don’t think it is necessary to learn it. B. Because they find it difficult to get good marks. C. Because they are interested in science and history. 15. What is the British government’s purpose in improving language learning at school? A. To start foreign language learning at a younger age. B. To increase the number of students who learn a foreign language. C. To change the British attitude towards learning foreign languages. 16. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Most Widely-spoken Foreign Language B. Foreign Language Learning in the UK C. Foreign Language Schools in the UK （二） E 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 When you talk with someone, you’ll need to end your conversation at some point. And there are many reasons why you need to do that. Either you or the other person may need to continue an activity such as working or shopping.

Well, I’m sure you have a lot to do today. E. You just want to keep the conversation short. 三、语言运用（共20小题；每小题1分，计20分） A. 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。 In Grade 7, I was the shortest girl in my class.

Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar. In western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at the midnight on December 31st-January 1st. People may go to the party, sometimes dressed in formal (正式的) clothes, and they may drink champagne (香槟) at midnight. During the first minute of the New Year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures like to celebrate the New Year by waking up early to watch the sunrise better. They welcome the New Year with the first light of the sunrise. Many cultures also do special things to say goodbye to bad luck at the beginning of the New Year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll and burn it to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the New Year can start. Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a New Year include throwing things into rivers or seas, or saying special things on the first day of the New Year. Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the New Year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck—but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them. 41.

Other kids always wore their clothes for days. We reached the height of disgrace (丢脸) because she made our clothes herself, just to save money. The worst is yet to come. We had to be in bed by 9:00 each night and up at 7:45 the next morning. So while my friends slept, my mother made us work. I believed she lay awake all night thinking up mean things to do to us. Through the years, things didn’t improve a bit. We could not lie in bed, “sick” like our friends did, and miss school. My mother was the meanest mother. Out of four children, a couple of us received some higher education. None of us have ever done bad things. She made us grow up into educated and honest adults.

The fact is that they aren’t. Some statistics (数据) from the survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe. And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That’s why English people don’t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language. In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only a choice at school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don’t students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history. To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices. Changing the British attitude (态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try! 13. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following about the British people is TRUE? A. They are good language learners. B. 28% of them speak two or more languages. C. More than half of them only speak English. 14. Why do students in Britain often stop learning a foreign language at age 14? A. Because they don’t think it is necessary to learn it. B. Because they find it difficult to get good marks. C. Because they are interested in science and history. 15. What is the British government’s purpose in improving language learning at school? A. To start foreign language learning at a younger age. B. To increase the number of students who learn a foreign language. C. To change the British attitude towards learning foreign languages. 16. What is the best title of the passage? A. The Most Widely-spoken Foreign Language B. Foreign Language Learning in the UK C. Foreign Language Schools in the UK 【答案】13. C 14. B 15. C 16. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲了英国人外语学习能力较弱的现状、背后原因及英国政府为改善该情况采取的措施。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Some statistics from the survey done by the European Commission showed that 62% of the British people only speak English.”可知，超过一半的英国人只说英语。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据“So why don’t students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.”可知，因为他们发现很难在语言学科上取得好成绩。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据“To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school.”及“Changing the British attitude to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try!”可知，英国政府改善学校语言学习的目的是改变英国人对学习外语的态度。故选C。 【16题详解】 最佳标题题。根据全文围绕英国人外语学习的现状、原因及政府的应对措施展开，结合各段落核心内容可知，文章主要讲述英国的外语学习情况。故选B。 （二） E 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 When you talk with someone, you’ll need to end your conversation at some point.

People may go to the party, sometimes dressed in formal (正式的) clothes, and they may drink champagne (香槟) at midnight. During the first minute of the New Year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures like to celebrate the New Year by waking up early to watch the sunrise better. They welcome the New Year with the first light of the sunrise. Many cultures also do special things to say goodbye to bad luck at the beginning of the New Year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll and burn it to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the New Year can start. Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a New Year include throwing things into rivers or seas, or saying special things on the first day of the New Year. Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the New Year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year.
