B( 2015 .河南开封二模) 

English is spoken as a first language by about 375 million people and as a foreign language by around 750 million people. It is being learned by about a billion people. These numbers alone make English to learn. If you are not fluent (流利的) in English,it may be good for you to know the advantages of learning the language.

In many countries?English is used as a working language. In the United States₉ English speakers make more money than those who don't speak English at all. Learning English can increase the chance of getting a good job.

If you visit a country,you can easily find someone who can speak at least a little English. So if you know English,you have a chance to communicate almost anywhere you travel.

It’s not easy for parents who don't understand English to raise children in an English-speaking country. For example ? if they send their children to school and the teacher does not speak their mother language ? parents are likely to have difficulty communicating with the teacher. And if the children have homework they do not understand,parents cannot help them.

Ⅲ.阅读理解(10小题，共30分)

A (2015 •山东莱芜) 

Here are four letters to their headmasters from students in different places：

I will give some suggestions about our school uniform. In our school,we have to wear school uniform every day. But the yellow and green sports uniform looks really dark and old. It can't stand for young and lively spirit. We can add some red or orange colour and make a new type of uniform.

I have two suggestions for my headmaster. First,I think we should have more hobby classes in science,such as plane model making class and computer programming (编程) class. And second,I hope we can have more PE lessons or more time for physical exercise.

I’d like to say thanks to my maths teacher. About one week ago,I got a bad cold after playing basketball. My maths teacher came to me after he knew about it. He took care of me until my parents came. I really want to thank him for that.

I want to talk about the possibility of personal classes. Now many middle schools are trying the “personal class” system. Students don't have regular (普通的) classes in their schools. They can choose lessons they want to take. They don't have to stay in one classroom all the time. I think it is more effective. And it is also good for exercise.

5. From these letters,we can infer (推断)  .
