Here are a few examples, ranked in order of the number of hours it takes the average English speakers to master them from lowest to highest: ● Easiest (about 600 hours of study) Want to have no trouble fitting in on the streets of Paris? You will make it after just 600 hours of study. The popular Latin languages — Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese — require about 600 hours of study to achieve “general professional proficiency” in speaking and reading. They share many words with English, but differ significantly in meanings. ● German (750 hours) Interested in reading Karl May’s “Wild West” series in its original language? You’ll need to spend 750 hours mastering German first. With nouns that are masculine, feminine and neutral, verbs that are given various different forms and an extremely strict sentence arrangement, German may appear impossible to start with. But pronunciation and spelling is straightforward and once you learn the — admittedly many — rules, that’s it. German teachers used to joke that it takes you a year to say, “I’m travelling on the bus,” but once you’re on that bus, it’s plain sailing. ● Greek (1,100 hours) Modern Greek is maybe the easiest language to learn that uses a different alphabet. Because Greek is also a language that’s contributed numerous words to English. Indeed, in 1957, Xenophon Zolotas, the then governor of the Bank of Greece, gave two speeches to the IMF that contained just Greek loanwords apart from the unavoidable basic English. ● Arabic (2,200 hours) There’s an interesting story about a pharmaceutical (制药) company that advertised painkiller with three pictures. The left picture depicted a woman with a headache. The middle one showed her swallowing the pill and the right one had her smiling after the pain had disappeared. It worked everywhere except in the Arab world, which read it from right to left. It takes the average native English speaker a whopping 2,200 hours to become proficient in Arabic. But who can resist a language with eleven words for love, five degrees of swearing and close to 100 words describing a camel? 21. Who is this passage intended for? A. German speakers. B. Greek speakers. C. English speakers. D. Arabic speakers. 22. Which language makes a great contribution to English vocabulary? A. Greek. B. German. C. Spanish. D. French. 23. What is special about Arabic? A. The way it advertises. B. The habit of reading. C. The time to master it. D. The expressions to say love. B Beneath the bright lights of campus stages, Zhang Xueling, an Indonesian student at South China University of Technology, has truly turned into an excellent storyteller of Chinese culture. Born in Indonesia to a family with Fujian roots, she received a poetic Chinese name. At five, her mother signed her up for Chinese dance and Kong fu. Back then, she failed to focus on the beauty behind them. To her young mind, it felt like a heavy pressure rather than a joy — simply a tiring and boring task. She almost gave up. However, her respect for her family’s wish pushed her forward. Then, on a trip to ancient Luoyang, an unforgettable moment arrived. She was shocked to see crowds of young people walking through the streets in attractive Hanfu. The atmosphere was so powerful that it awakened her curiosity about Chinese culture. In that flash, she understood: tradition is not dead — it remains alive and breathing. “How amazing it would be to wear Hanfu!” Dressed in Tang-style Hanfu with full classical makeup, she walked through Yingtian Gate and felt as if she had stepped back a thousand years. It was magical: Chinese culture was not simply for museums, but for living. She entered the 5th “Stories of China Retold in English” competition, naming her speech “Hanfu, a Walking History Book.” She didn’t just speak; she also taught herself the “Old Tales of Luoyang” dance. Backstage, her heart beat fast. “What if I make a mistake on stage?” But the moment she began to move, all her worry disappeared. Her graceful moves, paired with the beautiful Hanfu, completely won the crowd and the judges. With the Grand Prize and the title “Star of the Stage”, Zhang Xueling proved that with true passion, anyone can bridge cultures and shine. 24. What can we learn about Zhang Xueling in her childhood? A. She learned Kong fu for fun. B. She was interested in poems. C. She met Chinese culture early. D. She had a gift for Chinese dance. 25. What awakened Zhang Xueling’s curiosity in Luoyang? A. The magical works of museums. B. The atmosphere of Hanfu lovers. C. The long history of Yingtian Gate. D. The classical makeup of local girls. 26. What made Zhang Xueling win the competition? A. Her family’s support and wish. B. Her experience of wearing Hanfu. C. Her nice speech and graceful dance. D. Her deep love for ancient Luoyang. 27. What can be concluded from Zhang Xueling’s story? A. A positive mind leads to success. B. Traditional culture should be updated. C. True passion connects different cultures. D. Mistakes can be reduced through practice. C The human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones. Our brains have developed in this way because threats, like dangerous animals, have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a result, you clearly know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy? Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make. If you’ve been chasing wealth, fame, power and some material things, you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier. People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of our friends is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings, acceptance, mutual (互相的) respect and trust. People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mental well- being. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression. If we are so interested in an activity, we may lose track of time, and we can be in a state of flow. The activity could be playing the piano, surfing the Internet or playing a game… People who experience flow in their work or life tend to be happier. People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly. People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths to achieve them. People, who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic, are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means considering, focusing on, and enjoying the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future. 28. Why do human brains remember negative things more easily? A. Because negative things are easy to remember. B. Because negative things can make people live much happier. C. Because negative things are much more important than other things. D. Because negative things tend to affect human survival immediately. 29. According to this passage, in which of the following can people not find happiness? A. Chasing power. B. Doing sports. C. Playing the violin. D. Making friends. 30. In the last paragraph, what does the author try to tell us? A. We should think more about our future. B. We should be positive in our life and work. C. We should focus on everything in our life. D. We should only enjoy the present moment. 31. What does the passage mainly want to tell us? A. Some habits that make people happy. B. The habits people form in their life. C. Why people remember positive things easily. D. Why people remember negative things easily. D If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice: there are four skills in learning English. They are listening, speaking, reading and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first gain the skills of reading and listening. Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentences, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it. As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs (输入) in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening, you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening, you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes. If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect. 32. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills? A. Reading and listening. B. Reading and writing. C. Writing and speaking. D. Speaking and listening. 33. To improve your reading, when you read, you should ________. A. look up all the new words in the dictionary. B. think about what you are reading actively. C. spend more time studying grammar. D. copy as many words and sentences as possible. 34. What does the underlined words “come across” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Meet by accident. B. Wind up. C. Lose on purpose. D. Look for. 35. Which of the following may the author agree with? A. Everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. B. You needn’t practice listening if you keep in reading every day. C. Being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening. D. You should take notes of whatever you are hearing. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共12.5分） The Power of a Personal Journal Keeping a daily journal is one of the most powerful and beneficial habits you can develop. It is more than just a record of your life; it is a tool for self-expression, reflection, and personal growth. 36 For many successful writers and thinkers, it’s their first step into daily writing discipline. A key benefit of keeping a journal is better self-understanding. Writing down your thoughts and feelings forces you to clarify them. 37 This process gives you new insights into your values and life goals, creating a space for honest self-conversation. 38 The more you write, the better you express ideas clearly. You can experiment with new vocabulary, different sentence structures, and various writing styles without the pressure of being graded. It’s a private playground for your words. To get started, you don’t need a fancy notebook or special pens. 39 Consistency matters most — spend 10-15 minutes daily. You can write about your day, things you’re grateful for, or challenges you face. You can also focus on daily observations like the weather. The benefits of this simple practice extend far beyond the page. It can reduce stress, spark creativity, and help you solve problems more effectively. 40 You might be surprised by what you discover. A. So, pick up a pen and start writing. B. Keeping a journal also improves writing skills. C. You can also share your journals with your friends for feedback. D. Putting experiences into words can make them easier to understand. E. It is important to write your journal entry at the same time every day. F. It allows you to look within, to recall the past, and to plan for the future. G. A simple notebook or even a document on your computer will work perfectly. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had always considered myself a good student.

They took responsibility for us, gave instructions, organized school activities, and proudly wore their badges (徽章) while carrying our school flag and walking on the playground. They represented us and gave speeches on school issues, becoming our role models. As I grew older, I finally can take part in the school elections. I prepared my election speech and on the day of the speeches, everyone voted. I was hopeful and prayed for a victory. However, the following morning when we gathered on the school grounds for the head-teacher’s announcement of the results, reality hit me hard. I realized that I had no chance of winning — was neither well known nor too pretty. I became depressed and felt as though I had no friends supporting me. Later that day, as I cried in my room, I took a deep breath and decided to change my attitude. I refused to see myself as a failure and made a determination to run for the school elections again the following year — this time, with a plan to win. I sat down at my study table and wrote down my thoughts. Although my competitors had certain advantages such as their stylish personalities, I recognized my own advantages — good grades, friendliness, helpfulness, and most importantly, my faith in myself to be a great leader. With a whole year ahead, I began to plan my election strategies that evening. To gain recognition (认可) and show my ability to represent my fellow students, I started making new friends and helping them at school. Besides, I attended a public speaking course to learn how to give a great election speech. By the time the elections came around, I was well-prepared, and I gave a passionate speech on the stage. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The following day, I anxiously waited for the results. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later, I realized that I had achieved far more than what I had expected. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
