Only in learning another language and its culture will you be able to proficiently municate with a person in that language. There are many ways to enhance your language studies by studying the countrys culture; this can include reading literature, watching movies, or listening to popular music.Many schools in the United States emphasize the importance of culture understanding in language classes. Instead of memorizing only vocabulary words and grammar patterns, classes from elementary schools to universities are teaching literature, pop songs, and films in their classes. From these various mediums students can learn a great deal about the culture of a language they study. These different forms of media can teach various characteristics about the language, culture, and history of a society.Literature can allow you to understand the history and current debates confronting a culture. For example, if you read John Steinbecks Grapes of Wrath you can understand the history and problems of ordinary American farmers in the Great Depression. In watching films one can learn about what is popular in a society, and also slang phrases one definitely wont find in a textbook. In pop songs one can understand what the current craze in a culture is; what kind of music people like to listen to, what that culture finds romantic, and even what me contemporary cool viewpoint in that society is.If you truly are interested in learning a language, dont underestimate the importance of learning about the languages home culture. Of course one must learn a languages grammar and vocabulary, but this will only get you so far in actually being able to municate effectively. So if you are learning a language, take the time to also study the culture.25. The best title for this passage would be _.A. Important Factors in Learning a Second LanguageB. The Importance of Culture in Learning a LanguageC. Effectively municating in a Second LanguageD. Why You Should Watch Films and Listen to Music When Learning a Foreign Language 26. In the above passage literature is described as an important way to learn _about a culture.A. history B. political issues C. social issues D. all of the above 27.

Cultural learning can give key insights into a societys history, language, and current trends. C. A majority of time should be given to cultural learning while learning a second language.D. The key to effective munication is language and cultural proficiency.C As you grow older, youll be faced with some challenging decisions like should you play soccer or field hockey, or like whether to cut class or try cigarettes. Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to press you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, or get you to do something, its called peer pressure. Its something everyone has to deal with even adults. Lets talk about how to handle it.Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. You might admire a friend who is always a good sport and try to be more like him or her. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyones reading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other every day.Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them, your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass him the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him. It is tough to be the only one who says no to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self-confidence can help you stand firm, walk away, and .resist doing something.Youve probably had a parent or a teacher advising you to choose your friends wisely. Peer pressure-is a big reason why they say this. If you choose friends who dont use drugs, cut class, smoke cigarettes, or lie to their parents, then you probably wont do these things either, even if other kids do.If you continue to face peer pressure and youre finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Dont feel guilty if youve made a mistake or two. Talking to a parent, a teacher or a school counselor can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.28For whom is the passage most probably written?AStudents BParents CTeachers DCounselors29Both Paragraph 2 and 3 are developed _Aby space Bby time Cby stories D, by examples30In the last three paragraphs, the author mainly _Aexplains why peer pressure is so importantBgives advice on how to deal with peer pressureCdiscusses how peers influence usDshow how to make more good friends31Which of the following may help handle peer pressure?ASpending more time with your classmatesBTaking up more relaxing hobbiesCChoosing friends with no bad habitsDDoing what your classmates doDLook at the keyboard of any standard typewriter or puterQ, W, E, R, T and Y are the first six lettersWho decided on this arrangement of the letters? And why?People tried for centuries to invent the typewriterIn 1714 in England, Henry Mill filed a patent for a machine called An Artificial Machine or Method for the Impressing or Transcribing of Letters, Singly or Progressively one after another, as in Writing, whereby all Writing whatsoever may be Engrossed in Paper or Parchment so Neat and Exact as not to be distinguished from PrintThat machine probably didnt sell because no one could remember its name!The first practical typewriter was patented in the United States in 1868 by Christopher Latham SholesHis machine was known as the type-writerIt had a movable carriage, a lever for turning paper from line to line, and a keyboard on which the letters were arranged in alphabetical orderBut Sholes had a problemOn his first model, his ABC key arrangement caused the keys to jam when the typist worked quicklySholes didnt know how to keep the keys from sticking, so his solution was to keep the typist from typing too fastSholes asked his brother-in-law to rearrange the keyboard so that the monest letters were not so close together and the type bars would e from opposite directionsThus they would not clash together and jam the machineThe new arrangement was the QWERTY arrangement typists use todayOf course, Sholes claimed that the new arrangement was scientific and would add speed and efficiency The only efficiency it added was to slow the typist down, since almost any word in the English language required the typists fingers to cover more distance on the keyboardThe advantages of the typewriter outweighed the disadvantages of the keyboardTypists memorized the crazy letter arrangement, and the typewriter became a huge successBy the time typists had memorized the new arrangement of letters and built their speed, typewriter technology had improved, and the keys didnt stick as badly as they had at first32The author thinks the machine invented by Henry Mill could not be sold because_ Ait was difficult for people to accept new things Bthere were great disadvantages of the keyboard Cthe machine could not be distinguished from print Dthe name of the machine was too long33Sholes decided the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard in order to_ Aarrange the letters in alphabetical order Bcause the keys to jam when the typist worked quickly Csolve the problem of the keys jamming Dpete with ABC key arrangement34It is inferred that the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard Ais the most scientific arrangement Badds speed and efficiency of typistsCkeeps the typist from typing too fast Dis easy for typists to memorize35Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? AThe Arrangement of The Letters on Keyboard BThe Story of Christopher Latham Sholes CHow to Invent The Typewriter DThe First Practical Typewriter第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分1 0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。 When /our pet is sick, you know it needs medicationBut pets, like babies, dont know the pill you wunt them to take will help them_36_ Here are some tips to help get your pet to medicine_37_If the answer is yes, then your easiest path is to mix it with canned food First give your hungry pet a small amount of canned food without the medicationIts important that the pet nibbles （一点点地吃） at the food and sees that theres nothing wrongNext, while the pet is still hungry, mix the medication in a small amount food and present itRepeat as necessary to get the entire dose （剂量） down_38_ If the pet decides not to finish the meal, the dose will be wastedIf the chemist says the medication cannot be taken with food, you need a syringe （注射器） or a dropper to get the liquid down your pets throat_39 Keep a cheerful tone in your voice so the pet doesnt sense-your stress or hesitationPosition your pet where it cannot run away, perhaps having a dog sit with his back against a wall or chair or a cat on your lap_40_ Use your other hand to insert the syringe or dropper between the cheek and back teethSlowly squeeze the medication so the pet wont chokeTry to keep your pets mouth closed for approximately 30 seconds until you see it has swallowedIf your pet is being obstinate （倔强的）, stroke （抚摸） its throat gently or blow on the faceBe sure you end the session with praise and perhaps a treat so your pet will not associate medication with a bad experienceABefore you call your pet in, be sure to have the medication and any other materials youll need readyBOnce the pet is in position, use one hand to gently open the pets mouth from above, tilting back the head slightlyCAsk the vet if the liquid medication can be given with foodDYou should know the reason why the pet refuses to take medicineENever mix the medication with the full mealFThey just know it smells funny and they dont want itGDont force your pet to swallow all the medicine第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每题15分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Several years ago I noticed something strange: people seemed to be smiling at me more often_41_, during my young adult years people had never smiled at me that muchThey would look at me for only a second and move away their _42_ altogetherOnce in a while they would _43_ or say hi to me but more often they said _44_ at allAll that seemed to _45_ as I got older, thoughFor some _46_ reason people were suddenly greeting me with a _47_ smile when I walked past themTheir eyes seemed to _48_ up brightly when they said hello to me and many times they, would even _49_ to chat happily with me for a few minutesAt first I didnt know what _50_ had happened to meHad the whole world suddenly gotten kinder without 51_me?Then one day when I was walking alone in a store, the _52_ came to meAt that moment I walked by a display of_53_ and saw that I had the _54_ expression on my faceI had been smiling without even knowing itAll of a sudden, I _55_ that I was the one who had really changedI had grown so much in Jove and joyAnd it was the light shining from my own soul that others _56_ back to meWe are all mirrors in this lifeWe all _57_ each others light out of their soulsWe all help each other to bee a good _58_ that we were meant to be when we were born May you reflect every kindness and joy that you _59_ in this worldAnd may your own soul always _60_ brightly as wellThus you will always be happy41ABesidesBHoweverCThereforeDOtherwise42AeyesBheadsCfeetDlegs43AnodBlaughCshoutDwhisper44AsomethingBanythingCnothingDeverything45AremainBchangeCfadeDreturn46ApossibleBspecialCfamiliarDterrible47Acold BbitterCwarmDfunny48ApickBgrowCkeepDlight49AmoveBstopCcontinueDprefer50Aon purposeBin factCin detailDon earth51AcontactingBunderstanding CinformingDwarning52AaswerBideaCthoughtDsecret53AtoysBpaintingsCshelvesDmirrors54AsaddestBhappiestChealthiestDtoughest55AexplainedBpredictedCrealizedDrecognized56AdeliveredBreflectedCreturnedDpaid57AacceptBavoidClocateDshare 58AimageBcharacterCexampleDpicture59AsucceedBencourageCseeDpossess60AsingBshineCappearDshow l第II卷（非选择题， 50分）第三部分英语知识运用第二节（共10分：每小题15分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 _61_ artist had a small daughterSometimes he painted women _62_ any clothes on, and he and his wife always tried to keep the small girl out _63_ he was doing this, She is64young to understand, they saidBut one day, when the artist _65（paint） a woman with no clothes on, he forgot 66 （lock） the door, and the girl suddenly ran into the room
