arent.And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language.Many European people can have a conversation in English.Thats why my people dont think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.In Britain,students are not required to learn a foreign language.That means learning a foreign language is only an optionTo solve this situation,the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school.One way is to start learning it at a much younger age.Another one is to give school children more choices.Changing the British attitude(态度) to

fire burning,for they couldnt start it again if there was no lightning.Later,they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark(火花).The spark could fire dry leaves.In this way they could make the fire again if it went out.Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing(摩擦).They made a hole on a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole.They turned the stick again and again.After a few minutes they got a fire.As years went by,people learned other ways to make a fire.Sometimes they used the heat from the sun.They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.About two centuries ago,people began to make matches.Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires.Today matches are still being used,but people have more new ways to make fires.One of them is to use an electric fire starter.Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches.But it is very useful.1.From the text we know that a spark

always existed.Do you have a “China Dream”?I brought up this topic with several young Chinese students with higher US educational backgrounds.Unsurprisingly,they all had their own heartfelt hopes and dreams for their native country.Fred Wang,an MBA candidate in the US said,“I dream of equal chance for the young in China.Equality means all young people can fairly,based on the rule-of-law no matter whether they are rich or poor.”Yujie Zhao,another MBA candidate in California said,“I dream of a happy family with an affordable home.I dream of having the best education for my children so they will not lose at the starting line,and I dream of being able to take good care of my parents after they retire(退休).” She said,“It seems like all my dreams are about family,but it is so true for most

work.C.“China Dream” is only a dream about the development of our country.答案:B解析:DIt seems more and more Americans want schools to teach foreign languages to children younger than five years old.The most popular way to teach these young children another language is called immersion.Children in immersion programs hear only the new language in the classroom.The children play games,sing songs and talk to one another in the new language.Some experts say immersion programs are the most effective way for young children to learn a language.But there can be a problem when children in the United States begin to learn another language at such an early age.Not many elementary schools continue to teach a foreign language.Only seven of the fifty states require schools to teach a foreign language to students between the ages of six and twelve.Language experts say it is easier for younger children to learn a language.Still,American schools generally do not begin to teach foreign languages until secondary schools.By then,students are about thirteen years old.American schools face difficult choices about the cost of educational programs.The government has increased support for foreign language study in its education law called No Child Left Behind.At the college,the Modern Language Association says more students than ever are studying foreign languages and more languages are being studied now than in the past.Spanish is the most widely taught in American colleges and universities.French,German,Chinese and Italian are also popular.1.The most popular way to teach the American children

disasters over the past few years,and its assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future.Some of the worlds leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.LondonLondons flood defences are getting older.Since 1982,the Thames Barrier (泰晤士河水闸) has protected the city from the threat of flooding,but it is only designed to last to 2030 and is closed once every two or three years.According to Environment Agency (英国环境局) predictions,by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not solved.There are 26 underground stations,400 schools,16 hospitals,an airport and 80 billion worth of property in Londons flood risk area,so large-scale flooding would be disastrous.ParisOver a six-week period in July and August 20xx,more than 11,400mainly elderly peopledied in France from dehydration(脱水) and excessively high body temperature in a strong heat wave.Heat waves of similar intensity(强度) are expected every seven years by 2050,so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?In Paris,the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower”,which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.ShanghaiShanghai is the fastest-growing city in the world.It has a population of 24 million and is only 4 meters above sea level.Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20cm within the next century.China relies heavily on coal-fired power stations,but these emissions increase temperatures and,in turn,warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.1.How many big cities are mentioned in the passage?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.答案:C解析:文章介绍了London,Paris和Shanghai这三个城市将面临灾难的情况。2.What could cause even more disasters

could cause even more disasters in the future.”可知。3.How long has the Thames Barrier protected London?A.For about ten years.B.For fifteen years.C.For about twenty years.D.For thirty-four years.答案:D解析:根据句子“Since 1982,the Thames Barrier has protected the city from the threat of flooding.”可知它建成于1982年,再进行简单的计算即可。4.What does the underlined word
