Peter, a 2-year-old boy, can learn to draw pictures with the help of Baby Bus.‎ C We can’t use Ximalaya Reading to download book recording.‎ D. if you have problems remembering the new words, World of Tanks Blitz Can help you.‎ B If you want to be a volunteer, you have to answer the following typical questions. Do you want to work with people, animals or machines? Do you want to ‎ work indoors or outdoors, directly serve people in need or serve people behind the scenes? Every year, thousands of people in the west offer volunteer service. Volunteering greatly strengthens the community because it helps the old, the young, the weak, the sick, and the disabled and the injured to solve problems.‎ Volunteers usually help in many different ways. They may give people advice, offer friendship to the young, drive the elderly to church (if up to the driving age), advise kids against drugs, work as assistants in schools or nursing homes, raise funds, plant trees, help out in local libraries and do many other things. Volunteering can be a few hours a week or a few hours a month. Anybody who wants to serve people in need can become a volunteer.‎ In fact, the art of volunteering is a process of both giving and receiving. Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people, make new friends and mix with people from all walks of life. Volunteering is an excellent way to experiment and try out new techniques and skills, discover your individual talents and explore career choice. Being a volunteer will take you on a wonderful journey and help you learn more than what you can get from books.‎ ‎24. As a volunteer, only when you grow old enough can you _______.‎ A. plant trees on hills            B. drive the elderly to church C. give advice to others           D. help out in local libraries ‎25. How is the second paragraph mainly developed?‎ A. By listing examples.                 B. By comparing.‎ C. By giving explanations.             D. By discussing.‎ ‎26. It can be inferred from the passage that to be a volunteer, _______.‎ A. you can do experiments            B. you must be very strong  ‎ C. you need to work very long       D. you can get something valuable ‎27. What’s the best title of the passage?‎ A. How to hunt for jobs           B. Volunteer service in the west C. How to make friends            D. How to work with animals C In the English language there are striking similarities to many of the ‎ characteristics present in Spanish, French, and German. So what are the things that make English so difficult for foreign people to learn?‎ English doesn’t necessarily have more regular consonant(辅音)or vowel(元音)sounds than other languages, but how the stress is placed on some of those consonants or vowels makes it such a difficult language for learners. There are hard and soft consonants like “c” taking on a “k” sound or an “s” sound depending upon the situation. There are silent letters in some words and then some consonants that take on an entirely different sound ( like “th” ) when combined. The changes in the pronunciation of words make English much more difficult to learn.‎ Another thing that makes English difficult to learn has to do with verb tense. Some languages have very limited changes in verb tense, sometimes just present and past, which makes it relatively simple to grasp. English, on the other hand, is a bit more difficult in this area. For example, in different situations it may be proper to use any of the following tenses: present, past, future, past perfect or present perfect. The verb “choose” can be used in the following forms depending on tense: choose, chose or chosen. This can be very difficult for a foreigner to grasp. ‎ Slang（俚语）is more widely used in American English than proper grammar. In the US just knowing the language as it’s generally taught isn’t enough. In every single region or even close neighborhoods, the same slang terms make an almost entirely different language. In some areas there are repeatedly used terms that wouldn’t even be found in the Webster’s Dictionary. They are created by locals and only locals understand them. This can make it very difficult for someone not familiar with the language to get used to it, especially if they don’t remain in one area for a very long period.‎ ‎28. The purpose of this passage is to　　　. ‎ A. tell us how to deal with slang terms in English ‎ B. encourage us to speak formal English C. tell us why English is very difficult to learn ‎ D. give advice on how to learn English well ‎ ‎29. According to the passage, the letter “c” in English　　　. ‎ A. is often silent B. has at least two sounds ‎ C. never takes on an “s” sound D. is always stressed ‎30. Compared with other languages, ___________.‎ A. English has very limited changes in verb tense B. English has relatively simple verb tense to grasp C. English has more forms of verbs according to the tense D. English has three more verb tenses ‎31. It can be inferred from the passage that　　　. ‎ A. pronunciation is the most difficult thing in English learning B. all the slang terms should be added to the Webster’s Dictionary C. if you want to learn English well you first should learn some slang terms D. people may understand the local language after living in a place for years D What are American high schools like? Well, I’m happy to tell you what I know.‎ When I started school here, it had already been a week since the school opened. At this school, freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school. Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip, which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates. I was really sad. I wished I’d known about it earlier. ‎ Despite the disappointment, however, I gradually adapted to my new life and school. There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other. As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates, the school wants us to get to know each other there. Students usually come to school early, sit in that space and have fun. Around the space, there are many lockers for students to leave their books in, so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere. ‎ It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks. We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2 and they are big and heavy, like bri cks. For other classes, we only need binders (活页夹) with paper in them. Without textbooks, students learn things freely and actively. For example, my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time. We never know what we will learn. ‎ Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students’ morality more than their academic studies. For example, if you do not finish your homework, you will just be asked to do it later, but if you cheat or lie, you will get a warning or even be kicked out. ‎ I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well, but compared to Chinese students, they can make learning a more joyful experience. I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying.‎ ‎32. What was the writer sad for?‎ A. He was late for school. B. He missed the trip at the beginning of school.‎ C. He didn’t know anyone. D. American students looked down upon him.‎ ‎33. Why do students go to the basement of the teaching building?‎ A. To attend class. B. To share a classroom. ‎ C. To have fun. D. To meet teachers.‎ ‎34. How do teachers in the US teach the students?‎ A. However they want to. B. They use bricks.‎ C. Some use textbooks; some teach freely. D. They always teach as required. ‎ ‎35. According to the passage, in American high schools, ________.‎ A. you are likely to be kicked out if you cheat B. you’ll be punished if you do not finish your homework C. students are better at school work than Chinese students D. students care much about the grades they get 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 good book can be satisfying. If reading is a habit you’d like to get into, there are some ways to develop it.‎ ‎● Realize that reading is enjoyable if you have a good book.
