That’s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell ‎ you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of these names means.‎ If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands--one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles. The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland.‎ Britain‎ is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?‎ In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different languages. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.‎ There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is the official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island‎ of ‎Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic‎ of ‎Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?‎ ‎21. English was first spoken in ____.‎ A. Britain B. England C. Great Britain D. ‎Ireland ‎22. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?‎ A. Wales is the richest of the three.‎ B. Scotland is the largest of the three.‎ C. Sometimes England is used instead of Britain.‎ D. Britain is the only name of the largest island‎ of ‎British Isles.‎ ‎23. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is _____.‎ A. part of Britain B. part of ‎British Isles C. the official name of the whole country D. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage ‎24. Which of the following is the best title?‎ A. Students of English B. Different Names of ‎England C. Different Languages Spoken in England D. The ‎Republic‎ of ‎Ireland B The best way to help your children do well in school is to show them that you care about their education and lives. Here’s some helpful advice. ‎ You are your children’s first and most important teacher.‎ You know your children better than anyone else, and you probably care about them more than anything. Get involved in their education at every step — from homework help to parent-teacher conferences. ‎ A close relationship with your children can keep them from having problems in school. ‎ Children need help to make decisions about school, relationships, work, and so on. This can ‎ be easier if your children can talk to you about their problems. ‎ Be a good listener. ‎ Young children want to talk about their school days, so take time to talk and listen every day. As children get older, especially during high school, they might not want to talk to their parents. They usually think their friends may understand them better. At this time, parents should be patient and think of ways to get involved in your children’s lives. You need to be a cheerleader (啦啦队队长) for your children. Tell your children you’re proud if they deserve it.‎ Offer your personal support. ‎ Help your children practice multiplication tables (乘法表) or have them read you one of their essays. If your children are having trouble in school, offer to help them get through it. ‎ In a word, having an honest and positive relationship with your children will help them succeed in school. Even if you don’t have the best experience in school, you can still help your children be successful. Besides, parents should know some effective ways of creating a great homework space.‎ ‎25. Why are children unwilling to talk to their parents when they grow older?‎ A. Because their parents are too busy to listen. ‎ B. Because their parents don’t want to get involved in their lives. ‎ C. Because they don’t think their parents can understand them well. ‎ D. Because they are too shy to speak out their secrets. ‎ ‎26. What does the underlined sentence mean? ‎ A. Parents should never hurt their children’s feelings. ‎ B. Parents should encourage children when they make a real effort. ‎ C. Parents should never point out their children’s mistakes. ‎ D. Parents should always be on their children’s side no matter what happens. ‎ ‎27. The passage suggests that parents should be ________ in helping children do well in school.‎ A. positive B. critical C. cold D. well-educated ‎28. What would be talked about in the following paragraph?‎ A. How to be your children’s best teacher.‎ B. How to improve yourself to give your children more help.‎ C. How to communicate with your children. ‎ D. How to make a good homework space for your children. ‎ C When I was in the third grade, I was picked to be the princess(公主）in the school play. For weeks my mother had helped me practice my lines. But once on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrator's（解说者的）part for the play, and asked me to change roles. Though I didn't tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard. ‎ It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions(蒲公英）popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of bunches. "I think I am going to dig up all these weeds, "she said, "From now on, we'll have only roses in this garden." ‎ ‎"But I like dandelions, "I protested, "All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions!" ‎ ‎ My mother looked at me seriously. "Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn't ‎ it?" she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. "And that is true of people, too," she added.‎ ‎ When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth.‎ ‎　　“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. ‎ Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed.‎ ‎29. The girl did not play the role of the princess mainly because ______.‎ ‎ A. she felt nervous on the stage. ‎ ‎ B. she lost her interest in that role. ‎ ‎ C. she preferred the role of the narrator ‎ ‎ D. she had difficulty memorizing her words ‎ ‎30. Why did the mother suggest a walk in the garden? ‎ ‎ A. To remove the dandelions ‎ ‎ B. To enjoy the garden scene ‎ ‎ C. To have a talk with her daughter. ‎ ‎ D. To help her daughter with the play. ‎ ‎31. What is the main idea of the story? ‎ ‎ A. Everybody can find his or her own way to success. ‎ ‎ B. Everybody has his or her own value in the world. ‎ ‎ C. Everybody should learn to play different roles ‎ D. Everybody has some unforgettable memory. ‎ D American cities are similar to other cities around the world: American cities are changing, just as American society is changing．After World War Two, the population of most large American cities decreased; however, the population in many Sun Belt cities increase．Los Angeles and Houston are cities where population shifts （转移） to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society．In the late 1940s and early 1950s, city residents became wealthier．They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes．They bought houses in the suburbs （郊区）．‎ ‎ Now things are changing．The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults．Many, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities．They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest．Many young professionals are moving back into the city．They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers．‎ ‎ This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits．Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent．In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities．‎ ‎ Only a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying．Some city residents now see a bright, new future．Others see only problems and conflicts．One thing is sure:‎ ‎ many dying cities are alive again．‎ ‎32. What does the author think of cities all over the world?‎ ‎ A．They are alive． B．They are hopeless． ‎ C．They are similar． D．They are different．‎ ‎33. Why did American city residents want to live in the suburbs after World War Two?‎ ‎ A．Because older American cities were dying．‎ ‎ B．Because they were richer and needed more space．‎ ‎ C．Because cities contained the worst parts of society．‎ ‎ D．Because they could hardly afford to live in the city．‎ ‎34. According to the third paragraph, a great many poor people in American cities ．‎ ‎ A．are faced with housing problems B．are forced to move to the suburbs ‎ C．want to sell their buildings D. need more money for daily expenses ‎35. We can conclude from the text that ．‎ ‎ A．American cities are changing for the worse ‎ B．people have different views on American cities ‎ C．many people are now moving away from American cities D．the population is decreasing in older American cities 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。‎ A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon.
