Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son’s soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son’s team 【1】 the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.

With less than ten 【2】 (remain) seconds, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son’s teammate, Mickey O’ Donnel. With shouts of “Kick it!” echoing across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave 【3】 everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (沸腾). O’Donnel had scored!

Then there was 【4】 (silent). Mickey had scored all right, 【5】 in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down Syndrome（综合症）and for him there is 【6】 such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.

The silence was finally 【7】 (break) when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son 【8】 (tight) and shouted, “I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!” For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not 【9】 (worry). I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting, “Way to go Mickey!” Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.

Later that night, when my daughter asked 【0】 had won, I smiled as I replied, “It was a tie. Everybody won.”

【答案】

【1】In

【2】Remaining

【3】It

【4】Silence

【5】but

【6】no

【7】broken

【8】tightly

【9】have worried

【10】who

【解析】

【1】in 考查介词的用法。in the lead是指“领先”。

【2】remaining 考查形容词的用法。这里remaining是指“剩下的”。

【3】it 考查代词的用法。it在这里是指代前面的the ball。

【4】silence 考查名词的用法。因为Mickey把球踢进了错误的球门，所以都“安静”下来了。这里应该用名词，所以将silent变成silence。

【5】but 考查连词的用法。此空后面是in the wrong goal，说明虽然进球了，但是进了错误的球门，所以这里填but，表转折。

【6】no 考查不定代词的用法。这里说的是没有踢错球门这样的事。no such thing“没有这样的事”。

【7】broken 考查被动语态的用法。这里是说“沉寂最终被打破了”，所以要将break改为broken。

【8】tightly 考查副词的用法。这里tightly用来修饰动词hugged。说明紧紧地拥抱着我的儿子。

【9】have worried 考查动词的用法。这里要说的是：我本没必要担心。所以在need not 后要用现在完成时，构成needn’t have done，故填have worried。

【10】who 考查代词的用法。 因为作者回家的时候女儿问谁获胜了，所以这里填who。

New English Tests Are Better, but Harder

Scores on English tests are very important to students around the world. In order to make sure that they do their best, both students and teachers should stay informed of how these tests are changing.

Clive Roberts is a director at ELS Educational Services, one of the companies that trains students in English. Mr. Roberts says the tests are changing greatly in response to the global growth in the use of English as a lingua franca – the common language used among people with different native languages.

Mr. Roberts says English “is one of the keys now to international student mobility. So, for that reason, ___【1】__; old tests are being revamped to meet the needs of universities and employers worldwide.”

In other words, students increasingly need English in order to study and work in other countries. So, schools and businesses are asking for more accurate tests.

___【2】___

Mr. Roberts says several parts of standardized tests have changed recently. Now, many tests are given on computers. And, he says, tests measure all four skills of language learning: reading, listening, speaking and writing.

"A lot of are now delivered online, all four skills are being tested, in some cases, by computer, in particular speaking and writing skills, which are the most difficult to assess on a computer environment."

Computer testing will reduce the length of time required for testing, because the tests adjust to the test-taker’s ability. These computer-adaptive tests also increase accuracy in scoring. Computer-adaptive tests change depending on the test-taker’s responses. They can become more or less difficult during the testing session. For this reason, the set of correct answers will be different for each test-taker.

___【3】___

Another change to language testing relates to cultural sensitivity. The term refers to material on a test that is based on a certain culture or is hard for test-takers from different cultures to understand.

Mr. Roberts says test development companies are now hiring people with intercultural communication backgrounds to review test items. The companies want to make sure the test does not upset test-takers. Having negative feelings may affect a student's performance on the test.

__【4】___

Changes to English proficiency tests make them better at measuring the learners' ability. However, Mr. Roberts says the changes may mean the tests are more difficult for some students.

"The tests have become more proficiency-oriented. The items are being designed in such a way that they test real-world proficiency and not simply sort of an artificial environment or a specific set of skills that are taught in a classroom. So a lot of authentic texts, a lot of authentic listening passages are being used.”

The changes mean students have to be able to understand English the way it is used in everyday life, not just in textbooks.

__【5】__

Another big change is the way in which a student's performance on the tests is measured. Mr. Roberts says that many tests are measured according to the Common European Frame of Reference (CERF) scale of language proficiency.

This measurement, Mr. Roberts says, “is similar to the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) and the Interagency Language Roundtable (ILR) guidelines, which are used by American universities and government agencies, respectively.”

The rating scales and guidelines are designed to show what the learner is able to do in the areas of speaking, reading, listening and writing.

Mr. Roberts says, “It gives a description of what they can do with the language and then assigns a numerical value to that particular level.”

Mr. Roberts says he believes linking the scores and the scales means the tests provide more useful information about a learner’s ability than they did before.

In addition, changes to the tests will encourage schools to teach their students to use English for everyday life and study.

A:Cultural sensitivity

B:What the tests measure

C:a lot of new tests are being developed

D:Difficulties in language testing

E:Changes in language testing

F:new tests are being measured by some language experts

G:Accuracy in language testing

【题目】According to the Ministry of Health, 260 million Chinese people have chronic（慢性）diseases, and 85 percent of all deaths in China are caused by such diseases．Among them, cardiovascular（心血管的）disease has bothered more people than any other kind of chronic disease．

According to the WHO（World Health Organization), salt consumption（消耗）, one of the key causes of high blood pressure that can lead to cardiovascular disease, is much higher in China than in other countries．

Douglas Bettcher, the director of the WHO’s Tobacco Free Initiative, says, “The average Chinese person consumes about 12 to 14 grams （of salt) per day, while the suggestion of the WHO is consumption of less than 5 grams per day．High salt consumption is a major cause of cardiovascular disease and high pressure in China．

Changing the way that food is prepared could reduce salt consumption in China．

Another major risk factor in China is smoking．Dr Michael O’Leary, a representative of the WHO, says, “We know already that one million deaths in China are related to smoking, This is an enormous number．It means that we are seeing nearly 3000 deaths a day in China, or two deaths every minute, related to smoking．

According to O’Leary, about 26 percent of men who die from smoking-related diseases in China die before the age of 60．People who can still contribute a great deal, in other words, are dying too young．

China has tried to ban smoking , but more efforts are needed．

More than half of chronic diseases are preventable by changing lifestyles and reducing risks．The four key risk factors are: smoking, diets high in fats, salt and sugar, environments that prevent physical activities, and alcohol consumption．These are the areas on which efforts to make changes need to concentrate．

【1】Which of the following is more in China than in other countries?

C. About 17 to 19 grams per day．

D. About 7 to 9 grams per day．

【3】Why does O’Leary mention “26 percent of men” in Paragraph 6?

A. To show China needs to try to ban smoking．

B. To show smoking causes the deaths of elderly people．

C. To show smoking causes the deaths of too many young people．

D. To show the number of smoking-related deaths in China is large．

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. There are four causes of chronic diseases．

B. The change in lifestyles can prevent some chronic diseases．

C. No smoking or alcohol means no chronic diseases．

D. If we do physical activities, we will have no chronic diseases．

【题目】A

A Swiss airplane powered only by energy from the sun left from Abu Dhabi early on March 9. Its creators hope the plane will make the first around-the-world journey without any fuel.

The plane is called Solar Impulse 2. It has one seat and is made from carbon fiber. The plane weighs only as much as a car but its wings are wider than a Boeing 747. The plane's wings stretch 72 meters across.

Those wings include 17,000 solar units, or cells, that capture the sun's energy. The energy allows the plane to fly day and night.

Two Swiss scientists built the plane. Bertrand Piccard is also an explorer who made the first non-stop flight around the world in a balloon. Andrew Borschberg is an engineer and trained fighter pilot.

The scientists say they are not trying to change the airplane industry. Instead, they want to show that new energy sources and technologies can achieve what some say is impossible.

"We want to show we can fly day and night in an aircraft without a drop of fuel,' Mr. Piccard said.

Some parts of the trip will require the pilots to be in the tiny plane for five to six days and nights in a row. So it is good that the pilot's seat is also a toilet.

The plane's route begins in the United Arab Emirates. The pilots also plan stops in Oman, India, and China. They will cross the Pacific Ocean, stop in the United States, and continue over southern Europe or North Africa. They plan to arrive back in the United Arab Emirates in late July or early August.

Internet viewers can go to the Solar Impulse website to see the plane's location and listen to broadcasts from the pilots.

A. A new airplane-Solar Impulse 2

A. He made the first non-stop flight around the world.

B. He is a trained fighter pilot.

C. He is from the United Arab Emirates.

D. He built the plane alone.

【4】Which one is NOT true_________?
