For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue, N.Y., today is speech day, and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he’s nervous. “I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…” Chris trips on the “-ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “…Vote for …me …” Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls (回想起) how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don’t know, but I want to know.’”
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast (夸耀) about themselves.
“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”
8. What made Chris nervous
A. Telling a story. B. Making a speech.
C. Taking a test. D. Answering a question.
9. What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Improper pauses. B. Bad manners. C. Spelling mistakes. D. Silly jokes.
10. We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is to _________.
A. help students see their own strengths
B. assess students’ public speaking skills
C. prepare students for their future jobs
D. inspire students’ love for politics
11. Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher
A. Humorous. B. Ambitious. C. Caring. D. Demanding.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文属于记叙文。文章讲述了纽约一所小学二年级的老师树立信心，看到自己的优点，发起一项总统竞选演讲活动。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“today is speech day(今天是演讲日)”和“With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.(他有着明亮的黑眼睛，似乎是那种喜欢公开演讲的孩子。)”以及第二段第一句“But he’s nervous.(但是他很紧张。)”可知，Chris是因为做演讲紧张，故选B。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段““I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…” Chris trips on the “-ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers.(“我今天在这里告诉你为什么你应该……应该……”克里斯说到了“-ld”，这是许多非英语母语人士的发音困难。)”可知，他发ld困难，故推知是他有些结巴，停顿不准确，stumbles的意思是“不适当的停顿”，即Improper pauses，故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast (夸耀) about themselves.(威利说，这个项目不仅仅是学习在公众面前阅读和说话。他想让这些孩子学会自我吹嘘。)”以及最后一段““Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”(“吹嘘自己和自己最好的品质，”威利说，“对于一个走进教室却不自信的孩子来说是非常困难的。”)”可知，Whaley老师这么做是为了帮助学生认识自己的优势，培养自信，故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president.(威利的这个二年级总统竞选项目的灵感来自于他有一天让孩子们举起手，如果他们认为自己永远不会成为总统。)”和“He wants these kids to learn to boast (夸耀) about themselves.(他想让这些孩子学会自我吹嘘。)”可知，这位老师很关心学生的成长。故选C。
D
You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason goes back to the year 1066, when Norman forces invaded（入侵）what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French. During the Norman occupation, French became the language of England’s rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for more than 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period.
Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.
Take, for example, the French word college. In English, college can often be used in place of the word university, or sometimes as a school within a university. However, in French, college actually means “middle school”, or the level of schooling for students in grades five or six through eight.
There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings. In English, the word chat is a verb which means “to talk casually”; but in French, the word chat is the word for an animal: a cat.
If an English speaker says someone is jolly, that means they are cheerful or friendly. But in French, jolie means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone.
12. What does the author stress about the French words in English
A. Their spelling forms. B. Their changes in history.
C. Their puzzles for English. D. Their different meanings.
13. What does a Frenchman mean if he says he likes a chat
A. He likes a kind of pet. B. He wants to have a talk.
C. He hates to speak English. D. He prefers to chat in French.
14. What is the French word “jolie” used to do
A. Replace “jolly” in English. B. Describe people's looks.
C. Refer to people’s happiness. D. Prove the change in French.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Comparison between two languages. B. Difficulty in grasping English.
C. French words in English. D. Development of English.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了英语中存在大量法语词汇的现象。本文讲述的是“英语中的法语单词”。文中举例说明了它们不同的含义。诺曼人对英国长期的统治，给英语带来了大量的法语词汇，但意思有差别，有的差别非常大。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.可知，作者对英语中的法语单词强调了它们的不同含义。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中In English, the word chat is a verb which means “to talk casually”; but in French, the word chat is the word for an animal: a cat.可知，如果一个法国人说他喜欢a chat，他的意思是“他喜欢一种宠物。”，因为在法语里chat是cat的意思，故选A。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据最后一段中But in French, jolie means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone.可知，在法语中，jolie的意思是说某人长得好看或看上去是令人愉快的。无论如何，这两件事对某人来说都是件好事。由此可知划线词在法语里是用来“描述人的外表。”故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French.和Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language.可知，本文讲述的是“英语中的法语单词”。故选C。
【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。本题第4小题，本文第一段是文章的主题段，指出本文主要讲的是“英语中的法语单词”。故选C。

【答案】Dear Tony,
I’m so sorry to hear you fail to adjust yourself to Senior High School life. But you needn’t too worry about it, because everyone of us will meet the problem when faced with a new situation. Here are some tips for you.
First of all, take everything new in Senior High as it is. Don’t be too anxious, which will prevent you enjoying life. Besides, it is known that a well-balanced learning plan matters. In addition, you can take part in sports as much as possible, which does good to making friends. Apparently more friends will make you away from loneliness.
I believe you will get used to it soon and I’ll wait for your good news.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was 14 years old, I was a straight A student in the middle school of our small town. I didn’t try particularly hard, I just went to all my classes and paid attention. I could get good grades with minimal effort. I had a great group of friends too: kids I grew up with, that I had known nearly all my life. We hung out together on weekends very often. It seemed there was nothing to be worried about. I think it was the happiest time in my teenage years.
Then my family moved to the UK just before I went to high school because my father changed his job, and everything changed. I was the only Asian in my class. Overnight, I had no friends, and was in a new country where everyone was different. While trying to adapt to the new surroundings and cultures, it turned out that going to public school in a big city like London was much harder than the tiny classroom in my home country that I was used to. Teachers barely knew my name, and all the other kids thought I was strange because of my accent.
It was so hard to fit in. I went to school alone, ate in the canteen alone, and studied in the library alone. No one even wanted to be in the same group with me in class as I always couldn’t understand what other students were talking about. I would cry all night when I went back home. The only thing I dreamed of was going back to the place I once belonged to!
The class and subjects in the UK were so much different to me. Although I had taken English classes before we moved here, the teachers spoke English so fast that I couldn’t catch up at all! Just as I expected, I started underperforming: I tried so hard, but it just wasn’t working. I studied a lot, but then I’d go to the exam, and would get so nervous. Sweating and trembling, I felt like my mind would go blank. All that effort, and I failed anyway. I started to lose my self-confidence. Maybe I wasn’t good enough.

【答案】One possible version:
An English teacher, Kate, noticed that I was struggling. She suggested I should go to the after-school classes for the kids who needed help. Eager to get a passing grade, I went. And that was where I met Oliver. Gradually, he became my best friend and I was back on track. In the days that followed, Kate made it a point to discuss my work at school with me. She also gave me lessons on life and its ups and downs from time to time.
The after-school class really helped. Little by little, my grades improved. I made many friends and won many awards as well. As the year progressed, I see that my depression slowly disappeared. It seemed that reshaping ourselves in a new environment wasn’t that terrible as expected. After the end-of-year examination, Kate announced to the class that I was the top student in the class. As I looked at her, I felt a sudden sense of happiness.

Richard Campbell is a secondary school student. He is 15 years old. He lives in a small town in the north of England. Every morning, he gets up at eight o'clock, puts on his uniform and walks to school.
One hour later, the lessons start. The students usually study maths, English, history and geography in the morning. They usually study music and drawing and they play sports after lunch. They have a ten-minute break between classes. They also spend a long time in the school library, reading books and doing their homework.
Richard likes his school very much. His favourite subjects are English and geography, but he doesn’t like maths because he is not good at it.
Richard and all his friends spend the whole day at school. Lunch is at one o'clock. He doesn’t like the food that the school serves. This is why he often brings a packed lunch from home. He always has his lunch in the dining hall, but some of his friends sometimes eat in the courtyard or outside the school gate.
At weekends, he always goes out with his friends because he doesn’t go to school. On Saturday, he always goes to the cinema or to the sports centre. On Sunday, he just goes for a walk with his dog.
4. What time do Richard’s lessons begin in the morning
A. At 8:00. B. At 8:30.

For Canaan Elementary’s second grade in Patchogue N.Y., today is speech day, and right now it’s Chris Palaez’s turn. The 8-year-old is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking.
But he’s nervous. “I’m here to tell you today why you should … should…” Chris trips on the “-ld,” a pronunciation difficulty for many non-native English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “…Vote for …me …” Except for some stumbles, Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him.
A son of immigrants, Chris stared learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls (回想起) how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom.
Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student,” Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I don’t know, but I want to know.’”
Whaley got the idea of this second-grade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast (夸耀) about themselves.
“Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities,” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.”
8. What made Chris nervous
A. Telling a story. B. Making a speech.
C. Taking a test. D. Answering a question.
9. What does the underlined word “stumbles” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Improper pauses. B. Bad manners. C. Spelling mistakes. D. Silly jokes.
10. We can infer that the purpose of Whaley’s project is to _________.
A help students see their own strengths
B. assess students’ public speaking skills
C. prepare students for their future jobs
D. inspire students’ love for politics
11. Which of the following best describes Whaley as a teacher
A. Humorous. B. Ambitious. C. Caring. D. Demanding.
D
You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason goes back to the year 1066, when Norman forces invaded（入侵）what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French. During the Norman occupation, French became the language of England’s rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for more than 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period.
Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.
Take, for example, the French word college. In English, college can often be used in place of the word university, or sometimes as a school within a university. However, in French, college actually means “middle school”, or the level of schooling for students in grades five or six through eight.
There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings. In English, the word chat is a verb which means “to talk casually”; but in French, the word chat is the word for an animal: a cat.
If an English speaker says someone is jolly, that means they are cheerful or friendly. But in French, jolie means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone.
12. What does the author stress about the French words in English
A. Their spelling forms. B. Their changes in history.
C. Their puzzles for English. D. Their different meanings.
13. What does a Frenchman mean if he says he likes a chat
A. He likes a kind of pet. B. He wants to have a talk.
C. He hates to speak English. D. He prefers to chat in French.
14. What is the French word “jolie” used to do
A. Replace “jolly” in English. B. Describe people's looks.
C. Refer to people’s happiness. D. Prove the change in French.
15. What is the text mainly about
A. Comparison between two languages. B. Difficulty in grasping English.
C. French words in English. D. Development of English.
