actually very surprised last year by the number of people interested in the course.We didnt actually have enough workers to look after all the children who wanted to attend and we had to turn people away.There was such a lot of rain that we had to organize art and music activities indoors.This year we also considered providing some more exciting adventure sports like rock climbing and caving.We

American Night.I think it will be good for the kids,and teach them good skills too.As parents,you should go to my website, and print out an application form.Send it to my office address as soon as possible,because the places are going fast.We do need to know if the child has any special needs regarding their diet.17.How long will the course run this year?A.Six weeks.B.Seven weeks.C.Eight

reader?Young British people find the US accent attractive while young US people like a British accent.Especially when the person speaking is of the opposite sex(异性)!Lets listen to what they have to say.Stephen Yang,17,from London,UKA US accent is cute,especially when a girl speaks it.Whether its Jessia Alba speaking or the girl-next-door,the way US girls speak has a sweet tingle(感觉) that is really fashionable.A girl from Texas recently moved into our neighborhood.Her Texan twang(鼻音) had all the boys here on their knees within seconds of meeting her.To me,accents reflect the attitudes,characteristics(特征) and lifestyles of the people.Jennifer Sun,16,from New Jersey,USFrom watching English actors like Daniel Radcliffe,my friends and I have developed a soft spot(好感) for British men.Some are attracted to the qualities of English males,while others admire their sense of style.Everyone,however,agrees that the most appealing aspect of an English man is his accent.For example,many American girls watch Harry Potter movies over and over again just to listen to the actors speak.The English accent seems almost like art.21.In Stephen Yangs opinion,accents just show

place for a grandmother and her grandchild to tell stories?A space for lovers to share secrets?Or a place for a tired father to sing songs to his baby?In the hands of Lisa Ferris-Terzich,55,the design(设计) of the simple bench would soon be completed and ready for a home.She sat on it,imagining the person who would one day call the bench his or her own.Lisa was not a painter by trade.By day,she cleaned teeth for people.When she was not working,she stole hours to paint.The bench would be Lisas latest artwork.A woman she had worked with on a Phoenix charity(慈善机构) art show had called her.She hoped Lisa would help again.This time,she told Lisa,they were looking for artists to design a dozen “Good Neighbor” benches.Lisa was interested in the funny name for a piece of furniture.“Good Neighbor benches?”Lisa asked.“Yes,thats the name,”the woman said.Twelve Arizona artists would each be given one bench to design.They could work on it any way they wanted.There were really only two rules:Make the bench beautiful and give it a theme(主题) that celebrates community(社区).Once all the benches were designed,people would be invited to suggest who the good neighbors in their communities would be.Each suggestion would be reviewed,and every bench would be placed with someone who had done something good for others.It could be someone who brings a neighborhood closer.It could be a neighbor who always lends a hand with a home repair.“Our twelve artists would turn the benches into a piece of art.Their artwork wouldnt sit untouched in a museum,”said the organizer of the event,Patricia Garcia Duarte.“Good Neighbor benches are meant to become worn and loved.”24.What was Lisa thinking about at the beginning of the story?A.How she should design the bench.B.Who would be

trade.If we can speak English well,we will have more chances to succeed.Because more and more people have taken notice of it,the number of the people who go to learn English has increased at a high speed.But for myself,I learn English not only because of its importance and its usefulness,but also because of my love for it.When I learn English,I can feel a different way of thinking which gives me more room to touch the world.When I read English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.When I speak English,I can feel the confidence from my words.When I write English,I can see the beauty which is not the same as our Chinese.I love English, because it gives me a colorful dream.I hope I can travel around the world one day.With my good English,I can make friends with many people from different countries and see many places of great interests.I dream that I can go to London,because it is the birthplace of English.I also want to use my good English to introduce our great places to the people who speak English.I hope that they can love our country like us.I know,Rome was not built in a day.I believe that after continuous hard study,one day I can speak English very well.If you want to be loved,you should learn to love and be lovable.So I believe,as I love English,it will love me too.I am sure that I will realize my dream one day!28.Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?A.English is becoming more and more important in our daily life.B.English is changing quickly.C.English has the largest speakers in the world.D.More and more people enjoy learning English.答案:A解析段落大意题。根据第一段内容尤其是第一句可知,本段主要说明了英语变得越来越重要。29.Which of the following is not the reason why the author likes learning English?A.English is very important.B.English is very useful.C.The author likes English.D.The authors parents ask him to study English.答案:D解析细节理解题。从第二段可知,A、B、C三个选项都是作者学习英语的原因,D项未提及。30.When the author reads English novels,he feels .A.pleasedB.pressedC.anxiousD.confident答案:A解析细节理解题。从第二段中的“When I read English novels,I can feel the pleasure from the book which is different from reading the translation.”可知答案:。31.What can we

to respect others if you want to learn English well.答案:C解析推理判断题。从倒数第二段中的“If you want to be loved,you should learn to love and be lovable.”可推出答案:。D“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression.When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day”with a smile,I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day.Next!” This version(说法) of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door.The words come out in the same tone(腔调) with a fixed procedure.They are spoken at me,not to me.Obviously,the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.Sometimes it shows the end of a meeting.As soon as you hear it,you know the meeting is at an end.Sometimes the expression saves us when we dont know what to say.“Oh,you just had a tooth out?Im terribly sorry,but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says “Have a nice day”to you,you may find it heart-warming because someone you dont know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere,meaningless social custom at times,there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting.The salesgirl,the waitress,the teacher and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.But in a strange and comfortable way,its nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really dont care all that much.While the expression may not often be sincere,it is always spoken.The point is that people say it all the time when they like.32.How does the author understand Maxies words?A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D.Maxie really worries about the authors security.答案:B解析从第一段“.I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.”可知选B项。33.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A.The salesgirl is rude.B.The salesgirl is bored.C.The salesgirl cares about the author.D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine.答案:D解析从画线句后面的“Obviously,the concern for my day and everyone elses is the managements attempt to increase business.”可知这只是一种客套语。故选D项。34.According to the last paragraph,people say “Have a nice day” .A.sincerelyB.as thanksC.as a habitD.encouragingly答案:C解析从最后一段中的“While the expression may not often be sincere,it is always spoken.The point is that people say it all the time when they like.”可知选C项。35.What is the best title for the passage?A.Have a Nice Day a Social CustomB.Have a Nice Day a Pleasant GestureC.Have a Nice Day a Heart-warming GreetingD.Have a Nice Day a Polite Ending of a Conversation答案:A解析文章的最后一段点明了本文的中心,说“Have a nice day!”是一种社会风俗习惯。故选A项。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。Six reasons why learning English is so importantEnglish may not
