They will usually travel for a few days or weeks during school breaks. But Julie and Tim Smith planned a longer vacation with their two children. The Smith family is on a one-year trip around the world. They plan to visit 30 countries in all. Right now, the four travelers are about halfway through their trip. Ms. Smith says they are trying to see as much of the world as they can. ‎ Mr. Smith says one of the most interesting experiences of the trip has been meeting new people. He says people have been extremely friendly, very welcoming and love their kids. Eleven-year-old Tyler says he has enjoyed learning about the people they have met. He said, “I learned in Africa that people have very different lifestyles than in America.” His sister, 9-year-old Kara, discovered that she liked Thai food. Ms. Smith says that the trip teaches the children a lot.‎ It took the family a year to prepare for the trip. They had to sell their house and cars. Ms. Smith left her job and her husband is using unpaid leave. They carry small bags filled with lightweight clothing and whatever else they need. Ms. Smith says she enjoys being able to carry everything she needs on her back. She says she does not miss the things she has back home. “What has become more important is making these memories as a family and taking those with us instead.”‎ ‎ The Smiths will continue to head east for the next six months. ‎ 21. In what way is the Smith family’s trip different from many others’ according to paragraph 1?‎ A. They take their children on vacation.‎ B. They travel around the world for a year with children.‎ C. They travel during school breaks.‎ D. They travel for a few weeks with children.‎ 22. What does Tyler find interesting during the trip?‎ A. Living in Africa.‎ B. Lifestyles in America.‎ C. Having Thai food.‎ D. Learning about the people they have met.‎ 23. Which of the following is NOT true about the Smiths’ preparation for the trip?‎ A. They left their jobs.‎ ‎·16·‎ A. It took the Smith family a year.‎ B. They sold their house and cars.‎ C. They put lightweight clothing in small bags.‎ 21. What does the underlined word “those” in paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A. The small bags they carry.‎ B. The memories of the family.‎ C. The things on her back.‎ D. The things back home.‎ B With the new semester（学期）starting this month, Wang Jing, 6, and her elder sister Wang Lian, 14, return home in Jiujiang, Jiangxi province, but memories of their holiday time spent with their working parents in a noisy clothing factory in Shishi, Fujian province, about 750 kilometers from their hometown, still warm their hearts.‎ The sisters are part of a group called “little migratory birds” – children left behind in their countryside homes who “fly” hundreds of miles to enjoy a precious short family reunion in their parents’ workplaces in cities.‎ Their daily life goes like this. Without chances to go sightseeing, the two sisters have to stay in the factory among many similar-looking buildings. Their parents go to the factory at 8 am. Later, the hungry sisters drag themselves out of bed, walking to join their parents. At lunch breaks, the parents cook for the family on the cooktop in the canteen. They often work late into the night, sometimes beyond midnight when there are many orders, and the sisters stay with them.‎ Despite the long hours waiting, the sisters find ways to make themselves happy, such as playing hide-and-seek indoors. And they often help their parents with little tasks such as handing over clothes and ironing ready ones.‎ Wu Yushan, a factory owner, says: “It is not safe for the kids to wander in the streets. Although it is not good for the company's image（形象）having kids all over the place, I can live with it.”‎ 22. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the two sisters?‎ A. They are left behind in their countryside homes.‎ ‎·16·‎ A. They spend their holiday with their parents working in the city.‎ B. They enjoy being “little migratory birds”.‎ C. They play hide-and-seek indoors to kill the time. ‎ ‎26. What do the working parents do according to the text?‎ A. Go sightseeing with their children.‎ B. Play games with their children.‎ C. Make breakfast for the family.‎ D. Work long hours in the factory.‎ ‎27. What the factory owner says in the last paragraph suggests that he is ________.‎ A. caring B. hard-working C. polite D. stubborn C If you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language for several hours each day. So it may become part of your “inner speech.” In other words, you start thinking in that language. Your mind stops trying to translate things from your native language into the second language. But most of the English learners live in places where English in not the main language. This may be true for you. You may not have many chances to practice English. You may even be self-taught.‎ Thinking in English really helps! It it not very difficult, but it does need practice. Here we will share some mental exercises. A good first step is to think in words. Look around you. What do you see? In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings. Charles Thomas has taught English for over 10 years. He tells his students to name the things that they see around them, wherever they are. ‎ Another exercise Thomas suggest is describing in your mind objects you don’t know the words for. An example would be if you couldn’t think of the word “garage”. Thomas says, “If you’re looking at your house and you see your garage, but you can’t think of the name in English. You can say, ‘The place inside where I put my car’ or you can say, ‘It’s next to to my house. I keep things there.’” ‎ The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, “It’s such a beautiful day” and “People are playing sports with their friends.” You can ‎ ‎·16·‎ also describe your daily activities. Thomas asks his students to describe their day using the simple present verb form. So, they would think to themselves things like , “I put on my shirt” and “He drives the bus.” ‎ How much time should you spend on these exercises? Thomas says you do a little every day. “When you make things a habit, then it just pops up into your mind without thinking and then, before you know it, really, you’re thinking in English.”‎ 28. When a second language becomes part of your “inner speech”, ________.‎ A. most people around you speak the language B. you start thinking in the language C. you translate things from your native language into it D. you learn the language by yourself 29. ‎“The place inside where I put my car” is an example for ________.‎ A. naming objects in your surroundings B. thinking in simple sentences C. describing objects you don’t know the words for D. describing your daily activities 30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Spend your time on exercises B. Teach yourself a second language C. Train your brain to think in English D. Practice English wherever you are 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。‎ While people in both England and the U.S. speak English, the two types of English can be very different. ‎ First, there are differences in spelling. The British like the letter “u” and have kept it in many words. 31 Somewhere in our language history, we decided that “labor”,”color” and “favorite” were just fine without the “u” next to the “o”. 32 Sometimes, we use totally different words. Here, we live in apartments with elevators. Over there, they live in flats with lifts. We power our cars with gas. They use ‎ ‎·16·‎ petrol. And, if we need to look in our car’s dark trunk for something, we use a flashlight. They would use a torch to search their dark boot. ‎ ‎ 33 Some British and American idioms have the same meaning, but use different words. For example, in the U. S. if you want to add your opinion to a conversation, you put in your two cents. In the U.K., they put in their two pence. Make sense. They have pence and we don’t. Finally, a familiar word used by both countries but in different ways is “cheers”. We use the word over drinks when we are wishing someone good health or congratulating on success. The British use “cheers” to mean “thank you.” 34 ‎ Now, we don’t expect you to pick sides. 35 ‎ A. The usage of the word comes from America.‎ B. For that, we Americans say, “Thank you!”‎ C. American English will be used more often than British English.‎ D. Americans have dropped it.‎ E. Then there are idioms.‎ F. Both American and British English have their strong points.‎ G. But our differences go beyond spelling.[]‎ 第三部分 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。‎ Lu Yiwei, a 19-year-old from Shanghai, proved his floristry（花艺）skills by winning the gold medal at the 45th WorldSkills Competition in Kazan, Russia, last month.‎ ‎"It is commonly believed that floristry is a job 36 for girls," he said.

"Almost two weeks before I had the final training in July, I was 44 of ideas, which was terrible for a competitor whose project needed new ideas. I got used to my new identity later, thanks to my 45 who guided me with their patience and scientific training courses."‎ His trip to Kazan was 46 , but he enjoys the memory. He said he had 47 during the competition because he was getting more and more nervous as the competition 48 . "We were given all our tasks about 15 minutes before the competition started. It was really hard because we had to 49 ideas for all in such a short time," he said.‎ ‎"I didn't 50 during the World-Skills trials（预赛）, as there were so many experienced and excellent competitors," he said. "But I was always 51 . I think my positive 52 brought me opportunities and the final honor."‎ ‎"Many of my classmates were pleased after winning medals at the competition, but they lost their 53 . I won the gold medal at the age of 19, but I know that it's not my final 54 . I want to develop more new 55 ."

When I was working full-time as a sales man for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I’d do it. I had my heart set on it, and I didn’t let anything stand in my way. I knew I’d love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want. W: You mean you don’t keep regular hours? M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are 10:00 to 6:00, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early. W: Have you got any people to work with you yet?‎ M: Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It’s great because ... we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers. W: Thank you, Mr. Kane. We wish you success in your new business.‎ ‎·16·‎
