Fewer will make it to the following day’s semifinals（半决赛）, where one mistake means elimination（淘汰）. I’d bet that many of them will be silently praying—not on the first word. I knew it because I was there 17 years ago.‎ I was 14 years old then. My mother and I had flown from Kentucky to Washington, but the capital was no strange to her. My older sister had already competed at the national level.‎ When my sister was 14 and I was 12, we trained together. We began with the Suggested List given out at school—hundreds of words printed on a poster that could be folded up like a map.‎ Sometimes my mother tested us, reading words most English teachers wouldn’t know how to pronounce, let alone my Indian-born mother. When she pointed out the misspelled words, I blamed her accent for my errors!‎ When it was my turn, I approached the microphone and waited for my first word.‎ The announcer was somewhere to my left, a man who pronounced clearly. “Barbican,” he said.‎ It seemed that my competitors were secretly complaining about the relative ease of my word. Would they laugh at me if I couldn’t spell it? Would my mother be disappointed in me? That last syllable could go two ways: C-A-N or C-O-N. Which one was right? Finally I decided on C-O-N.‎ Of course, I was eliminated and guided to the Comfort Room, where parents couldn’t enter. Inside, recent losers were sitting around a table abundant with junk food.‎ We casually mentioned the words that defeated us, like a special ceremony to welcome each new arrival.‎ Eventually, I went out and saw my mother.“Well,” she said, “I guess you won’t be doing this again.” Yes, next year I would be 15 and not allowed to take part in the competition.‎ ‎24．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?‎ A．The nervousness of the kids. B．The fierce competition.‎ C．The difficulty of the first word. D．The strict rules.‎ ‎25．The author failed probably because ___________.‎ A．her competitors disturbed her B．the announcer had an accent C．she was unable to relax D．she didn’t practise hard enough ‎26．Which of the following statements about the Spelling Bee is correct?‎ A．A lot of competitors will be eliminated.‎ B．Spelling bees are held from local levels up to the national level.‎ C．It involves learning the correct spelling of words.‎ D．All of the above.‎ ‎27．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ___________.‎ A．the author’s mother thought the competition was unfair.‎ B．the author would be beyond the age limit.‎ C．the author’s mother didn’t want the author to suffer again.‎ D．the author had no interest in the competition.‎ C Today we travel to film festivals around the world to learn about their different histories and goals. Some of the festivals are major competitions, while others are smaller events to help draw attention to more experimental movies.‎ One of the most famous film festivals in the world takes place in the French town of Cannes during twelve days in May. The Cannes Film Festival started in 1946 as a social gathering for showing movies. Later, the popular event developed into an important competition.‎ Visitors to the festival also see a series of short films, as well as films which don’t compete for awards. But the Cannes Film Festival is more than about honoring special movies and seeing famous actors. Each year, more than 1,000 people from almost 100 countries gather to watch about 900 movies. This helps link people from all areas of the movie industry. Also, it helps filmmakers sell their movies to distributors so they can be shown in theaters around the world.‎ The Venice International Film Festival starts in late August. Dating back to 1932, it is one of the oldest movie festivals in the world.‎ Many film festivals have very specialized subjects. In Belgium you can go to the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival. For 26 years this festival has been showing science fiction and horror movies from around the world. If this event seems too frightening, you can attend the International Children’s Film Festival in Frankfurt, Germany. In Turkey, the International Istanbul Film Festival, which was first organized in 1982, shows movies about art, music, dance or literature.‎ On any given day, a film festival is probably taking place somewhere around the world. Here we’ve only discussed a small number of them. These important and exciting events help to celebrate the art and industry of movies.‎ ‎28．What do we know about the Cannes Film Festival?‎ A．It lasted twelve days in May and June. B．It started as a film competition.‎ C．It attracts about 1,000 actors every year. D．It increases the popularity of some films.‎ ‎29．Which of the following film festivals has the longest history?‎ A．The Venice International Film Festival. B．The Cannes Film Festival.‎ C．The International Istanbul Film Festival. ‎ D．The Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival.‎ ‎30．In Paragraph 5, the writer introduces three film festivals to show that__________.‎ A．there are many film festivals B．film festivals have a long history C.many film festivals have their own subjects D.film festivals are popular around the world ‎31．What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Oldest Film Festival in the World B. Film Festivals Around the World C. Development of Films in the World D. Histories of Film Festivals in the World D Language is the normal way humans communicate. Only humans use language, though many ‎ other animals communicate in different ways. An important difference is that human language has syntax, which is a set of rules for connecting words together to make statements and questions; some other animals use syntax, but it is not as complicated as human syntax. Language can also be changed, by adding new words, for example, to describe new things. This is very uncommon for other animals. Language may be done by speech or by writing or by moving the hands to make signs. Even some human communication is not language: see non-verbal communication. Humans also use language for thinking.‎ The ability to learn and use language is inherited. Normally, all humans are born with this capability. Which language is learned by a child depends on which language is spoken by the child's community. Children have a special period, from about 18 months to about four years, which is very important for learning the language. If this is seriously disrupted, then their language skills will be damaged. Adults do not learn languages the same way as they did when they were young. So if they learn a second language, it is difficult and they have little chance of speaking it as well as their native language. Some children have more than one native language like when they live in a foreign country or when their father speaks a different language from their mother.‎ English is often called “the international language". About180 million people speak English as the first language. It is also the main second language of the world and the language of science, business, and entertainment.‎ ‎32．The underlined word “syntax" in paragraph 1 belongs to _________.‎ A．connection B．grammar C．words D．spelling ‎33．According to the passage, animals' language __________.‎ A．has no syntax B．is more complicated C．is seldom changed D．is similar to humans' language ‎34．Why do adults feel difficult to learn a second language?‎ A．They aren't as clever as children. B．Their language skills have been damaged.‎ C．They have no chance to speak a second language.‎ D．Their best time of learning a language has passed.‎ ‎35．What does the last paragraph intend to tell us?‎ A．English is widely used in the world. B.All the scientific experiments are done in English.‎ C．How many people speak English as the first language?‎ D．In fact, it is easy for people around the world to learn English.‎ 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。‎ Compared with many people who love traveling, some prefer to stay at home. If you don’t love traveling, you can make a change now. Why? 36 Please read on to know more.‎ Traveling takes you out of your comfort zone. Your comfort zone is comforting. 37 When you step into new surroundings, you will learn about the world around you. Traveling alone is a great choice.
