When the British took over in 1758, they changed the name to its current one in honor of Prince Edward, the first son of Britain's King George Ⅲ. ‎ Today many communities find their places in Prince Edward Island, but Charlottetown is the only one that can call itself a metropolitan(大都市)area, despite the fact that it is a small one. About 60,000 people live in the city and surrounding area. The city's center area remains relatively unchanged from its 19th century beginnings. Charlottetown's boardwalk runs alongside the water,past docks,boats,shops and restaurants. Historic homes line the streets. During summer months, costumed characters walk around the city and tell of it history.‎ ‎ Cavendish beach welcomes beach lovers. The gulf streams makes the water warm and wonderful for swimming, and the island's 1,760-kilometer coastline means a beach is never far away. ‎ ‎ Nine of PEI's 63 lighthouses will welcome visitors in the summer. Besides enjoying stunning views from the tops, visitors can browse in the small museums and learn about the island's history.‎ ‎ The most popular time to visit PE I is July to August, when the average temperature reaches ‎23℃‎ during the day. From January to February, the average daytime high is only ‎-3.3°C. Each winter, an average 318.2 centimeters of snow fall on the island, covering it with a white blanket. ‎ ‎ Considering the island's many visitors, it's no surprise that tourism is important there. Other key ‎ industries on the island are agriculture, fishing and information technology. With so much to offer, the island is naturally a desirable place to live as well.‎ ‎24.What does this island's current name refer to ?‎ A. A legendary story about its founder B. A member of the British royal family.‎ C. A central province‎ of ‎Canada.  D. A fine victory over the French. ‎ ‎25.According to this article, how do other communities compare with Charlottetown?‎ A.There are nearly double its size.  B.They are slightly larger. ‎ C.They are approximately the same size.  D.They are much smaller.‎ ‎26.Where can people walk in Charlottetown according to Paragraph 2?‎ A.Across the highway.  B.Through a field. ‎ C.Beside a harbor.  D.Around a factory.‎ ‎27.Which of the following conclusions can we draw from the text?‎ A. This article mainly describes the island’s climate. ‎ B. This article implies that farming is an important industry on the island.‎ C. All PEI’s lighthouses are open to visitors in summer.‎ D. All PEI’s museums are too small to attract visitors.‎ C People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are too many factors to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn only makes more sense when learning a second language.‎ A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese, for example, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so first language can affect learning a second language. The greater the differences between the second language and our first, the harder it will be for most people to learn. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn, possibly influenced by the thought of learning the Chinese writing system, and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.‎ Some people seem to learn languages easily, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the ‎ circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role, as well as each learner's motivation for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.‎ Obviously , British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese, which will probably come as no surprise to many, but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian, which uses a similar alphabet to English but has 35 cases (forms of a nouns according to whether it is subject, object, genitive, etc). This does not mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone, but it causes British diplomatic personnel, who are generally used to learning languages, the most difficulty. However, Tabassaran, a Caucasian language has 48 cases, so it might cause more difficulty if British diplomats had to learn it.‎ Different cultures and individuals from those cultures will find different languages more difficult. Therefore, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.‎ ‎28.What can we infer from the first paragraph?‎ A. The question of how hard a language is to learn is only applicable to first language acquisition B. The question of how hard a language is to learn is only applicable to second language acquisition C. The question of how hard a language is to learn is applicable to both first and second language acquisition.‎ D. There are too many languages in the world so it’s difficult to say which one is the most difficult to learn. ‎ 29. Which language will a native Portuguese speaker probably find easier to learn?‎ A. Chinese , because Portuguese use Chinese characters in their own language .‎ B. Japanese , because it is similar to their own language.‎ C. Spanish , because it also uses Roman alphabet .‎ D. Any one but Chinese, because its pronunciation is very difficult.‎ 30. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph3？‎ A. A particular situation or environment.‎ B. The degree of education that somebody has obtained C. Teachers’ encouragement.‎ D. Professional training.‎ 31. The author is most likely to agree____________‎ A. Not Hungarian’s writing system but its grammatical complexity causes problems for native British speakers.‎ B. Tabassaran is the hardest language to learn in the world for native European speakers.‎ C. Many British diplomats learn Tabassaran.‎ D. Learning a different writing system is easy.‎ D ‎ In 1972, a social worker named Sanjit "Bunker " Roy founded Barefoot‎ ‎College in Tilonia, Rajasthan. Today the college trains women from villages for six months to build and maintain solar panels and other instruments. Barefoot College also offers education to the younger generation both during the day and at its solar bridge schools that meet by lamp light at night. ‎ ‎ The philosophy of the Barefoot‎ ‎College is largely inspired by the principles of Gandhi, starting with quality beyond social classes, sex or religion. As a matter of fact, women are favorably regarded as an underserved population that is necessary to bringing villages together. Another central principle of the college is self-reliance, teaching students to support and think for themselves.‎ ‎ After the colleges female students have completed their half a year of training, they return to their villages villages, where they wait for solar panel parts to arrive from the college. Once they have all the pieces they need ,they construct the panels and begin collecting solar energy. For each village, the college also provides solar lamps. Villagers can, in addition, order parts for other solar-powered devices, such as water heaters and cooking stoves. Once assembled(组装）, they and the lamps are powered by the solar panels.‎ ‎ The effect on the villages is huge. Before the solar panels and lamps arrived, villagers had only candles to light their homes. This prevented adults from doing serious work at night, and it made studying difficult for children as well. As for physicians, they have difficulty treating patients and performing operations at night because they had to rely on flashlights.‎ ‎ Now there is power for not only the electrical appliances that the college provides but also devices like televisions, radios and computers. For the first time, the villagers can even connect to the world through the Internet. ‎ ‎32.What does this article explain about an organization?‎ A.How it accomplishes its goals  B.How its global efforts are funded ‎ C.How its founder hires employees D.How it works with the government ‎33.According to this article, what does the organization believe in?‎ A.Supporting the arts. B.Preserving history. ‎ C. Respecting animals. D.Improving society.‎ ‎34.Which idea is communicated by the organization to women?‎ A.They should be more involved in politics. B.They don't have to depend on others. ‎ C.They aren't educating their daughters enough. D.They focus too much on their communities.‎ ‎35.In the past, what was hard to provide in villages after dark?‎ A. Dry shelter. B. Clean water. ‎ C. Medical care. D. Food supplies.‎ 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。‎ Film reviews of The Silver Glove The Silver Bore Daniel Jones If you've ever seen a pirate film in the past, you can save your money. This is one of the most predictable films I have seen this year. The plot is totally unbelievable and the script is something very unprofessional out of filmmaker college.__36__ .Great support acting from the Frenchman Thierry Montpasse as the evil Captain Scar is the only striking aspect.‎ ‎___37___‎ Angela Moore I just loved this fast-moving pirate thriller.
