English is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. Immigrants(移民) coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language, which have kept their original pronunciation. “Coolie” and “kowtow” were taken from the Chinese language, “kamikaze from the Japanese, “shampoo” from India, “blitz” from German, “amigo” and “Los Angeles” from Spanish and so on.
Many students have studied English for years, some as many as eight. However, some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English. Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them. In our Oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native English speakers. For this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) English, we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes. Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. It is everyone's job to follow the English-Only rule. It is for your benefit. It is because we want to accustom (使习惯于) your ears to hearing English.
Other subjects may be learned only from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT! Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun, so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out. Enjoy your classes.
（1）The first paragraph is mainly about________.
A.the difficulty of learning English.
B.how interesting and various English is
C.different words in different languages
D.the immigrants' contributions to America
（2）The underlined word “discern” in Para 2 can be replaced by___________.
A.understand
B.notice
C.hear
D.speak
（3）In the author's opinion, the only way to learn a language well is to__________.
A.listen to it on the radio
B.learn it from books
C.play games with it
D.speak it often
（4）The article is probably aimed at________.
A.Japanese students
B.German students
C.Chinese students
D.Indian students

【答案】
（1）B
（2）A
（3）D
（4）C
【解析】这是一篇说明文，介绍了英语这门非常有趣的语言并提供了学好一门外语的唯一方法：大胆地说。 ⑴考查段落大意。根据第一段中的“English is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. ”可知选B。⑵考查词义猜测。句意：一些人知道很多词而不明白它们的意思。discern“仔细识别，明白”。可知选A。⑶考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的“but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT!”可知选D。⑷考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. ”可知任何人在课上说汉语就会被要求罚款，推断出学英语的是中国学生，他们稍不注意就会把母语说出来。因此答案选C。

How would you like to have been born without any ability to feel pain? There are such people. One of them is being studied by doctors at a hospital in New York City. He is a 22-year-old clerk who really does not know the meaning of pain. But he wishes he did.
Not long ago a packet of matches flared up(骤然烧起) in his hand. Luckily the burn was not serious. It caused large blisters(水泡) but still did not bother him. He said the burn felt like a fly crawling(在……上爬行) on his fingers. It has been the same story as far back as he can remember. He has never had headaches or sore(疼痛的) muscles. Bee stings, cuts and bruises(疼痛的) do not hurt.
Being free from pain is not as wonderful as you may think. The young man has had to have rotted teeth pulled because he never felt toothache warnings. A sudden attack of appendicitis(阑尾炎) could be deadly. Life without pain is as risky as trying to run a cruise ship without fire alarms.
（1）In the final sentence, the writer uses “fire alarms” to mean ________.
A.loud noises that a person hears
B.a signal that something is wrong
C.heat warnings
D.the ability to smell smoke
（2）The selection as a whole points to the fact that ________.
A.fire can cause serious injuries
B.life is happier without pain
C.teeth can be pulled painlessly
D.pain serves a useful purpose
（3）The young man had to have teeth pulled because ________.
A.he did not know his teeth were decaying
B.he did not take care of his teeth properly
C.he did not like to visit the dentist
D.he was born with soft teeth

If you are like most students, you probably sit still while learning a new language. However, sitting still may not always be the best way to learn. English learners can improve their language skills through movement, says Tamara Jones. She works at the English Language Center at Howard Community College in Maryland.

So, what is the relationship between physical movement and the brain? The idea is that the brain and the body are joined together. This means that one affects the other.

Many people are familiar with the idea that the brain tells the body to move. And many people are familiar with the idea that repeating an action over and over again helps your brain to remember. However, some research, such as a study by Morsella and Krauss, suggests that your body might help your brain to find memories. Specifically, movements we make with our body, such as hand gestures, may help us to remember and use the correct words.

This idea is part of the reason why experts on learning strategies, which are ways to improve the learning process, suggest using movements. One learning approach, the Cognitive Academic Language Learning Approach, or CALLA, calls the use of movements "Using Your Kinesthetic (动觉的) Sense".

Beyond helping the brain to find memories, movements also aid in learning, says Tamara Jones. "There’s a lot of research that suggests what you do with your body, you remember with your brain. And also, a lot of these physical movements will encourage us in class or in life, when we are practicing on our own, to repeat and repeat and repeat the word as we are doing the physical movement, and this also helps us remember the word."

【1】Why does the author refer to Morsella and Krauss?

A. To measure their achievement.

B. To prove Jones’ opinion right.

C. To introduce the theme of the passage.

D. To present a commonly-held idea.

【2】How can physical movements affect one’s learning?

A. By shortening the repeating process.

B. By motivating the brain to remember things.

C. By helping one to study in a relaxed state.

D. By enabling one to use advanced words.

【3】Which statement may Tamara Jones agree with?

A. Knowledge starts with practice.

B. The body can control the brain deeply.

C. Movements help the brain work better.

D. Language learners must be more active.

【4】What does the underlined word "this" in the last paragraph mean?

A. Practicing English on your own.

B. Speaking the word again and again.

C. Grasping an effective learning strategy.

D. Repeating words while moving your body.

Dreams can be familiar and strange, fantastical or boring, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. No one knows for certain why people dream, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between nap-time dreams and better memory in people who were learning a new skill.
In the study, 99 college students between the ages of 18 and 30 each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through a virtual maze(迷宫). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start in a different place each time they tried — making it even more difficult. They were also told to find a particular picture of a tree and remember where it was.
For the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants stayed awake and half were told to take a short nap. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who took a nap were asked about their dream after sleep — and they were awakened within a minute of sleep to describe their dreams.
Stickgold, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren't moving, during sleep.
Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were connected to the maze. Some dreamed about the music that had been playing when they were working; others said they dreamed about seeing people in the maze. When these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to find the tree faster than before their naps.
Stickgold suggests the dream itself doesn't help a person learn — it's the other way around. He suspects that the dream was caused by the brain processes associated with learning.
All four of the people who dreamed about the task had done poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult. People who had other dreams, or people who didn't take a nap, didn't show the same improvement.
（1）Before having a short nap, participants of the experiment were asked to ________.
A.stay in different place in the maze
B.design a virtual maze which is difficult to get through
C.experience the experiment and try to remember something
D.get through a virtual maze on a computer from the same place
（2）After doing what they were asked on computers, participants ________.
A.were divided into two groups to do different things at break
B.were so tired as to fall asleep
C.felt bored with the experiment and they were sleepy
D.were asked to remember their experiment separately
（3）What can we learn from the passage?
A.Participants who took a nap were required to express their thought.
B.Some dreams may encourage people to invent something new.
C.Participants who dreamed about films could finish the task more easily.
D.Participants whose dreams had something to do with the maze could find the tree faster.
（4）According to Stickgold, ________.
A.every person may dream about what they learned
B.people's brain processes may still be connected with their learning in their dreams
C.once people's eyes stop moving, they are sure to dream about something
D.no matter how fantastical or boring, dreams are connected with people's life

Today we eat on the go, at our desks and even in front of computers. We eat takeout, delivered and packaged meals.
“Over the past three decades, people have started eating out more than ever before and purchasing more prepared foods at the grocery store, which tend to contain more fat, salt and sugar than their home-made foods,” noted US healthy living website Spark People.
It encourages us to value the time we spend preparing, sharing and consuming food, as a recent USA today article put it. It all started in 1986 with the efforts of Slow Food's founding father, Italian activist Carlo Petrini, who wanted to bring back food varieties and flavors that had gone dark in the face of industrialization.Now his idea is almost the mainstream.
Starting at the table, the movement promotes an unhurried way of life founded on the idea that everyone has a right to cooking pleasure, and that everyone must also take responsibility to “protect the heritage (遗产) of food, tradition and culture that make this celebration of the senses possible”, wrote The Phnom Penh Post.
“ It means turning down the speed at which we eat and increasing the amount of time we spend dining together with other people,” Althea Zanecosky, spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, told The Huf fington Post.” Dinner table conversations keep families together,” noted the Belgian non-profit organization Greenfudge.
A. It is a way to bring back the social togetherness of yesterday.
B. It seems that we have adapted our foods to our fast-paced lives.
C. So the Slow Food Movement has occurred against this fast-food trend.
D. Slow Food doesn't necessarily mean food that takes a long time to cook.
E. It is based on the idea that we should spend as much time as possible on cooking.
F. It's not only the food itself but also the time we spend dining together that matters.
G. At that time, he asked people to follow a more sustainable (可持续的) living model.

Dear Bruce,
I'm very excited to learn from that you will start an English magazine called New Babel. That sounds great and I definitely agree with you on that.
Some of the columns mention in the letter are really my cup of tea. “Cultural Express” gives us better understanding of the world. Unless people from different parts of the world have different value, it's necessary to learn from each other. Apart from that, “Thoughts” is pretty good for us Chinese students to open our minds and practice their critical thinking. “Entertainment” is amazing! The stories about those popular celebrities are so attractively that we absolutely can't miss this part. As is often the case, teenagers were fond of popular things.
Well, I can't list less. I really look forward to read this magazine.
Yours,
Thomas

【题目】语法填空Bully for you
The makers of a hotly debated computer game about bullying have decided to go ahead and put it into market despite calls for it (forbid). In the game, players take on the role of a new student at a school and have to fight the bullies , by striking them or hitting them a baseball bat.
Critics have said that the game encourages (violent). The makers, however, disagree and say that, while the game might be a little violent at times, it is just an (amuse) look at school life. Besides, they argue that the fighting in the game ( direct) against the bullies to protect students who are being bullied. The makers also say that the players will learn to stand up to bullies, use their strength or power to hurt or frighten other people. “Nobody should bully others just because they want to feel stronger or(important),” said the makers.
A British politician, a former minister, has called for it to be banned as it might have negative influence on the way young people think of violent behaviors.
Anti-bullying (charity) that fight against school bullying have said that the game might make people respond violently to bullies, which might make things more complicated and result in injuries. In other words, people (possible) get hurt because of the game.
