They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master 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 sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come_across,_but the fact that 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 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 quickly, and you can be a fluent English speaker one day.21According to the writer, which should you improve first among the four skills?AReading and listening.BReading and writing.CWriting and speaking.DSpeaking and listening.22To improve your reading, when you read you should _.Alook up all the new words in the dictionaryBthink about what you are reading actively5Cspend more time studying grammarsDcopy as many words and sentences as possible23The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “_”AmeetBdiscoverChearDlook forBOne of the latest trend (趋势) in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And thats true all across the country.“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2year old son, “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.” After only six months of being cared by 25yearold woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didnt want her children to miss out on their roots.“Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to (接触) the language and culture.” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom， ” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of children.“But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.24What does that term “au pair” in the text mean?AA mother raising her children on her own.BA child learning a foreign language at home.CA professor in language education of children.DA young foreign woman taking care of children.25Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them _.6Ato live in China some dayBto speak the language at homeCto catch up with other childrenDto learn about the Chinese culture26What can we infer from the text?ALearning Chinese is becoming popular in America.BEducated woman do better in looking after children.CChinese au pairs need to improve their English Skills.DChildren can learn a foreign language well in six months.CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by huntergatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nationstate and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the worlds languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight 7remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico (150). Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a questionmark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.27What can we infer about languages in huntergatherer times?AThey developed very fast.BThey were large in number.CThey had similar patterns. DThey were closely connected.28Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in Paragraph 2?AComplex. BAdvanced.CPowerful. DModern.29How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?AAbout 6,800. BAbout 3,400.CAbout 2,400. DAbout 1,200.30What is the main idea of the text?ANew languages will be created.BPeoples lifestyles are reflected in languages.CHuman development results in fewer languages.DGeography determines language evolution.第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。I just counted how many foreign languages Ive studied so far in my life and its been twelve!I always follow my interests and find ways to put my language learning into things Im already interested in. I like to read blogs (博客) in other languages. _31_. For the most part, bloggers tend to write the same way they speak, so I dont have to worry much about adopting strange terms that are only used in writing.Movies are also a really good tool, especially if you can find subtitles in the language youre learning. _32_， they will still keep your brain listening and reading in the same language. Music is another way to start listening to things in your 8new language. Personally, Im so bad at understanding lyrics (歌词) even in English, so this one doesnt really work for me, but I have friends who learn a language through lyrics. Games are of course also an excellent way of studying a new language. A lot of language learning computer programs include games. Im super competitive and if I play any of them, I can be hooked for hours. _33_.When the initial excitement of learning a new language begins to fade, it can be hard to stick with it. The hardest bit for me is when Im comfortable enough with a language to understand most things and make myself understood. Im actually stuck at this stage in Norwegian. _34_. Ideally I should sign up to take a big language exam. Each time I start getting selfsatisfied, its time to take a new course or sign up for online lessons, or take up some sort of challenge that will require me to level up my skills. _35_. The best language class Ive ever taken was my beginners Russian course at university where my professor never used any English. It got to the point where I would kind of just forget about English while in Russian class, which helped me to really immerse myself in the Russian language and do a whole lot with the limited Russian I had. AThats really uncomfortableBWhatever languages theyre translated intoCI also try to think in the language Im learningDIts time well spent if Im learning the languageEComputer games always make me feel worn outFThough they dont always exactly match whats being saidGI found them the perfect learning tool because theyre usually written in oral language第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分 45 分)第一节完形填空(共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Eight years ago, I went to a wonderful school, West Catholic High School, in the United States. I was lucky enough to have an opportunity to study as a(n) 36 student from Ukraine when I was fourteen years old.9I remember my first day at that school 37 it was yesterday. I was very 38 as if there had been many butterflies in my stomach. My main 39 was that I would not be able to 40 myself due to the language barrier (障碍). I was trying to have as little 41 as I possibly could. And I almost 42 ,until we had to introduce 43 in front of the class.And the moment the word “international” flew out of my 44 ,I was surrounded by thirty people who were asking questions one after another. It 45 to be the opposite of less communication, but it was so much fun.During the first three months, I 46 experienced a little bit of cultural shock. I think Americans are the 47 people I have ever met in my entire life. They always smile and say, “Hi, how are you？”One day, I 48 the students looking at me with doubt. Finally, one classmate 49 to my locker (寄物柜) and whispered, “Is that true that you are a princess and that you came to study here so that nobody would 50 you？” At one point, I even had an image of myself 51 a crown and gracefully waving at the crowd. People do have a wild 52 !I think it was a 53 oneyear experience! I saw a totally new world, experienced great culture, met a lot of incredible (极好的) people and 54 my language. This trip inspired me to learn foreign languages.

She _56_ (instruct) me to take a basket along and collect dry cow dung (牛粪) for making a fire. I was then to prepare the meal for the group of workseekers.The _57_ (think) of making an open fire outside at midday, and _58_ (cook) in a large threelegged pot in that intense heat, was sufficient to upset even an angel. I did not manage to hide my feelings from my mother and, after serving the group, she called me to the veranda (走廊) _59_ she usually sat to attend to her sewing and knitting._60_ (look) straight into my eyes, she asked “Why did you get angry when I requested you _61_ (prepare) a meal for those poor people？” _62_ my attempt to deny her blame, using the heat of the fire and the sun as an excuse for my rude behavior, mother, she gave me a firm look, _63_ (say), “You cannot detect what trouble may lie ahea
