Everywhere in the world children go to school to learn English. Most people learn English for five or six years at high school. In China students learn English at school as a foreign language, except for those in Hong Kong, where many people speak English at school as a first or a second language.‎ In only fifty years, English has developed into the language most widely spoken and used in the world. English is the working language of most international organizations, international trade and tourism. Businessmen and tourists often come to China without being able to speak Chinese. Chinese businessmen, taxi drivers and students talk with them using English. English is also the language of global culture, such as popular music and the Internet. You can listen to English songs on the radio or use English to communicate with people around the world through the Internet. With so many people communicating in English every day, it will become more and more important to have a good knowledge of English.‎ 21. How many people learn English as a second language?‎ A. 37,500,000 B. 375,000,000 C. 750,000,000 D.75, 000,000‎ ‎22. In China we are learning English as a ______.‎ A. first language B. second language ‎ C. foreign language D. mother tongue ‎23. Most international organizations use ______ as their working language.‎ ‎ A. English B. French C. Chinese D. Japanese ‎24. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?‎ A. There are more than 42 countries where the majority of the people speak English.‎ B. The number of people who learn English as a foreign language is more than 750 million.‎ B Let us begin by saying what causes our dreams. Our dreams do not come from another world. They are not messages from some outside source. They are not a look into the future, either.‎ All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. If a person is hungry, or tired, or cold, his dreams may include a feeling of this kind. If the covers on your body, such as a quilt or a blanket, have slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are sleeping on ice or in snow. The material for the dream you will have tonight is likely to come from the experience you have today.‎ So the subject of your dream usually comes from something that has effect on you while you are sleeping（feeling of cold, a noise, a discomfort, etc. ）and it may also use your past experiences and the wishes and the interests you have now. This is why children are likely to dream of fairies, older children of school examinations, hungry people of food, homesick soldiers of their families and prisoners of freedom.‎ To show you how this is happening while you are asleep and how your needs and wishes can all be joined together in a dream, here is the story of the experiment. A man was asleep and the back of his hand was rubbed with a piece of absorbed cotton. He would dream he was in hospital and his charming girlfriend was visiting him, sitting on the bed and feeling his hand gently!‎ There are some scientists who have made a special study of why we dream, what we dream and what those dreams mean. Their explanation of dreams, though a bit reasonable, is not accepted by everyone but it offers an interesting approach to the problem. They believe that dreams are mostly expressions of wishes that did not come true. In other words dreaming is a way of having your wishes carried out.‎ ‎25.From the passage we know that our dreams_____.‎ A. are imagination of our daily life B. are man’s curious look into the future C. have nothing to do with our feelings D. are to some degree connected with our feelings ‎26.In your dream when you feel like eating something it indicates（暗示）that______.‎ A. you are in a state of being cold B. you are in a state of being tired C. you are in a state of hunger D. you should have had your dinner that day ‎27.Older children often dream of examinations probably because___.‎ A. they are interested in exams B. they hope for better life C. they are often worried about their studies D. they show much interest in their studies ‎28.Some scientists’ explanation of dreams _______.‎ A. is not widely accepted though a bit reasonable B. gives an exact description of our life C. provides us with information of dreams D. is of no use for us C Welcome to our school. You can do a lot of things here. Come and join us.‎ Timetable Sunday ‎ ‎8:30---11:30‎ Personal Inventions You can see many inventions by the students;‎ you may also bring your own inventions.‎ ‎ Monday ‎19:00---21:00‎ Space and Man Dr. Thomas West If you want to know more about the universe(宇宙).‎ Wednesday ‎19:30---21:00‎ Modern Medicine ‎ Mrs. Lucy Green Would you like to know medical science?‎ ‎ Friday ‎18:30---21:00‎ Computer Science ‎ Mr. Harry Morison from Harvard University Learn to use Windows XP.‎ 29. You may have a chance to introduce your inventions on _________.‎ A. Sunday B. Monday C. Wednesday D. Friday ‎30. The person who teaches Computer Science is from___________.‎ A. Canada B. Australia C. New Zealand D. America ‎31. If you want to learn something about satellites(卫星), you can go to the class from______.‎ A. 8:30 to 11:30 on Sunday B. 19:00 to 21:00 on Monday ‎ C. 19:30 to 21:00 on Wednesday D. 18:30 to 21:00 on Friday D Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tests included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class. Opposite to what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other ‎ meals.‎ 32. The results of the test show that_______.‎ A. breakfast has great effect on work and studies B. breakfast has little to do with a person's work C. a person will work better if he has simple breakfast D. those working with brains should have much for breakfast ‎33.The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast, you will_______.‎ A. lose weight B. not lose weight C. be healthier D. gain a lot of weight ‎34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A. Poor breakfasts affect those who work with their brains.‎ B. Morning diet(节食)may cause one to get fatter.‎ C. Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight-losing.‎ D. Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.‎ ‎35. According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, _____ . ‎ A. he will fall ill B. he will fail to listen to his teacher C. he will not make progress in his study D. his mind will work more slowly 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ When I was 16 years old, a boy gave me an important gift. __36__‎ It was the early autumn of my first year at a junior high school, and my old school was far away. __37__ I was very lonely, and afraid to make friends with anyone.‎ Every time I listened to other students talking and laughing, I felt my heart break.
