Children in Brazil School The school year runs from February to December. Children attend (上学) school for about four hours in the morning or the afternoon. About a quarter of children in Brazil do not attend school at all. Play Football is the most popular sport. Brazil’s beautiful beaches also make swimming and volleyball popular. Family Brazilian families are often large. Nearly a third of the population is under eighteen! Children in France School The school day begins from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, with a two-hour lunch break. Schools close on Wednesday and Sunday, and are closed for a half day on Saturday. Play Football, bicycling and tennis are favorite sports in France. In some areas, pelote, a traditional ball game, is also very popular. Family Most French mothers work. The majority of preschool (幼儿园) children attend day care centres known as crèches. France has laws about naming children and all names have to be chosen from an official list. Children in Japan School Schools in Japan are very competitive (竞争的). Even pre-schoolers may attend “cramming (填鸭式教学的) schools” to prepare for exams. There is a summer break about six weeks, but the children have homework during this time. Play Comic books have been popular in Japan since the 1700s. Comics now account for about 40% of all published materials in Japan. Kite flying is enjoyed by people of every age. Family Homes in Japan are small on average. The typical family of four lives in five small rooms. Most fathers in Japan work long hours. As a result, some children only see their fathers on weekends or holidays. 1. What kind of sport is very popular in France? ① Kite flying. ② Bicycling. ③ Football. ④ Pelote. A ②③④ B. ①②③ C. ①④ D. ①②③④ 2. What is a crèche in France? A. Places with beautiful beaches. B. The name of the place where French mothers work. C. A day care centre for preschool children. D. Cramming schools to improve children’s exam results. 3. In Japan, many children ________. A. like to read comic books B. write their names on an official list C. only see their fathers on weekdays D. do not attend school B Nola (August 21, 1974—November 22, 2015) was a northern white rhino who lived at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park near Escondido, California. At her death, she was one of only four remaining northern white rhinos in the world. The other three lived in Kenya. World Rhino Day, held on September 2, is to raise awareness(意识) of the less than 30, 000 other rhinos left on Earth. ''Rhinos need our help today, not tomorrow,'' Nola's lead keeper Jane Kennedy said. ''Last year we lost over 1, 200 rhinos just in South Africa. If we continue to lose more than 1, 000 rhinos a year, in 10 to 20 years all the rhinos on the planet will be gone. '' ''Unfortunately, most animals are in danger of dying out because of humans,'' Kennedy says. ''Humans have either poached animals, or because there are over seven billion of us, we've taken up too much of the world's resources''. Poachers illegally hunt rhinos for their horns. They sell the horns for thousands of dollars per pound, to be used for art, jewelry, and decorations. Experts believe that one rhino is poached every eight hours. In 1975, the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research started the Frozen Zoo, a program through which researchers have collected cell (细胞) samples from more than 8, 000 different types of animals, including the northern white rhino. Scientists hope that by studying the rhino cells, they will get greater understanding of it, and will find ways to increase its numbers. Jane Kennedy describes World Rhino Day as a celebration of rhinos along with an awareness campaign for everybody across the world to know that rhinos need our help. ''At the San Diego Zoo, children and adults are welcome to visit and speak with zookeepers to learn about rhinos. But you don't have to live in San Diego to celebrate World Rhino Day. It is observed around the world, with zoos and wildlife parks holding special events and programs to teach people about rhinos, and enable them to see the animals up close. For more information, go to www. worldrhinoday. org. 4. What do we know about Nola? A. It was a baby white rhino. B. It was one of the last of its kind. C. It lived with other northern white rhinos in Kenya. D. It died on September 22 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. 5. What troubled Jane Kennedy according to Paragraph 2? A. The rhinos' uncertain future. B. The rhinos' strange activities. C. The limited natural resources. D The rare animals in South Africa. 6. What does the Frozen Zoo aim to do? A. Invent new kinds of animals. B. Keep animals from dying out. C. Prevent rhinos from being hunted. D. Raise public awareness of rhinos. 7. What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A. To help people know more about animals. B. To encourage people to protect rhinos. C. To report special events in San Diego. D. To introduce World Rhino Day. C Learning a new language is like you’re going through the jungle with a knife and creating a path. When you learn two languages at once, you’re cutting your way through the jungle to create two paths, which requires twice the discipline (自律), time and motivation. But it is possible. A 2020 study published in the International Journal of Multilingualism found that Chinese students learning English and Russian at the same time achieved similar mastery in English compared to a control group that just studied English. This is likely because they have already made enormous efforts. A 2017 study suggests that bilinguals (双语者) can learn new languages faster than single-language learners. The biggest challenge of learning two languages at the same time is finding enough time and opportunities to study them. But to know just how many efforts and resources to put into it, you’ll need to decide what you want to achieve with the languages you’re planning to adopt. Becoming professor-level fluent in Polish is going to take a really long time, but if you want to be able to have conversations while you’re traveling, that won’t take as much time. To help you distribute (分配) your time and energy more effectively, and get a better idea of what your study plan will look like, it’s important to understand how difficult a particular language is for a native English speaker. While it can take up to 2,200 hours to learn languages like Arabic and Mandarin, if you grew up speaking English, it’ll be easier for you to pick up Czech and German, for example. The easiest languages for native English speakers to learn include Spanish French, and Portuguese, which require between 600 and 750 hours of class to achieve professional mastery. If it feels too discouraging to go full speed ahead on both languages right away, it might be easier to understand basic grammar and vocabulary for one language before adding another one to the mix. 8. Why can bilingual learners do as well as single-language learners? A. Bilingual learners are cleverer. B. Bilingual learners work harder. C. Bilingual learners are more interested in languages. D. Bilingual learners have a better learning environment. 9 What determines the time it takes to learn foreign languages? A. The occasions of using the languages. B. The steps to learn the languages. C. The professors teaching the languages. D. The purpose of learning the languages. 10. Which language is hardest for native English speakers according to the text? A. French. B. German. C. Mandarin. D. Portuguese. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Learning Two Languages at Once B. Ways of Leaning a New Language C. Language Talent of Chinese Students D. Difficulty in Learning Language D Is looking fashionable (时髦的) more important than being comfortable? Many people seem to think so, judging (判断) by the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person. People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that cause pain to their feet, and tight body shapes that limit (限制) blood flow. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair colour or hairstyle. Some people even spend several hours a day in front of a mirror. Is fashion so important that people spend so much time and effort on changing what they look like? If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable. Fashion should not come first. People should put their health and positive image in the first place. What people wear does not say anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours in choosing a dress, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together, such as playing soccer or badminton. Instead of going on strict diets and forcing yourself to stay hungry, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise? By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person. 12. What is the author’s attitude to people’s putting fashion above health? A. Curious. B. Encouraging. C. Unsupportive. D. Unclear. 13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The fashion industry is strong. B. Beauty products are harmful to health. C. People try very hard to be fashionable. D. Both women and men search for beauty. 14. Which of the following activities would the author most likely recommend? A. Going skiing with friends. B. Starting a new diet with a friend. C. Changing hairstyles every week. D. Shopping for fashionable clothes. 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To introduce the latest fashion trends. B. To tell readers how to remain fashionable. C. To advise readers to value health over fashion. D. To show readers advantages and disadvantages of dieting. 第二节 阅读七选五（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5） Earthquakes are a terrible natural disaster that will cause lots of danger and damage. In the last few years, we have seen some of the worst earthquakes in history. ____16____ However, we do get some signs from animals, including dogs! Dogs have been known to warm their owners that dangerous weather was coming.

The reasons for my application are as follows. First of all, having been exposed to foreign teachers since a young age, I can communicate freely with others in English. What’s more, years of being monitor makes me a brilliant organizer, which will help a lot to keep the exhibition in order. The most important factor is that my related knowledge will undoubtedly help the audience learn more about the unique Chinese art form. All in all, my sense of responsibility will make me a qualified volunteer. I’d appreciate it if you could take my application into consideration.
