24、I traveled to Canada one summer with students from my French class. It was my first trip outside the United States. It was exciting because I could finally speak the foreign language I was learning and I could hear native speakers.

Canada is an excellent place to practice French for two reasons.

First, most people in the French-speaking part of Canada can speak both French and English. I can use French when I’m ready. There wouldn’t be much pressure. If I have something very important to communicate, they can understand me if I speak English.

Second, people there like it when you try to speak French, even if you only speak a little. They hold French in higher esteem (认为……更高贵) than English.

Interestingly enough, although I wanted to communicate in my newly learnt language, I soon found I could hardly use any of the words I have leant when I tried to use them. We learnt the accent (口音) used in France, but the accent used in Canada is different from what we learnt. It sounded a little strange to me. And many words are completely different.

Although I didn’t get many opportunities (机会) to practice French in Canada, I’m still thankful for this experience.

【1】Why did the writer think the summer trip was exciting?

A．Because travelling was his favorite hobby.

B．Because he could stay with his friends for a long time.

C．Because he could speak French and hear native speakers.

D．Because it was the first time for him to go on a summer trip.

【2】There wouldn’t be much pressure for the writer to speak French in Canada because ________.

A．he liked talking to people in French

B．French-speaking people there are friendly

C．his friends would help him to communicate

D．people there could speak both English and French

【3】The writer talked about ________ difference(s) between French used in France and Canada in the passage.

A．one

B．two

C．three

D．four

25、   At the start of each summer, the sounds of pianos tuning ( 调 音 ) and pointe shoes ( 芭 蕾 舞 鞋 ) tapping fill the halls of artistic prep schools(预备学校)across the country, as talented teens begin their months-long training practicing their skills.

It is easy to see students in those schools having only half-done meals and sleeping over their clothes. Such training conditions are common for the over 1 million students who take part each winter in China's Joint Artistic Examination, or yikao (艺考), for admission to arts colleges.

According to Li, a film teacher from a yikao-prep school in Xi'an, the yikao is so tough that often requires the students to totally abandon their academic subjects in the months leading up to the exam.

As a result, they can only learn as much as possible in a very short time before they take the National College Entrance Examination, or gaokao ( 高 考 ), in June. “Arts students must pass both exams to be admitted to college,” he explains, as the best arts colleges “not only have high artistic requirements but high academic requirements.”

Every students preparing for yikao will face a moment of truth each winter as they perform their solos(单人表演), submit their sketches (素描) to the eagle-eyed examiners, and see if all their hard work has paid off—the destinies of arts students, says Li, are “full of uncertainty.”

【1】In Which month may students take part in China's Joint Artistic Examination every year?

A.September. B.December. C.May. D.June.

【2】How many students take part in yikao every year?

A.More than 1,000,000. B.Less than 1,000,000.

C.About 100,000. D.More than 100,000.

【3】What does the underlined sentence mean?

A.It is easy for students to have artistic training.

B.The artistic training conditions for students are difficult.

C.Those artistic prep schools don't offer meals to the students.

D.It's common to see students in the artistic prep schools.

【4】Which of the following is NOT TRUE, according to the passage?

A.Students may spend months training their skills before yikao.

B.After yikao, students have to learn as much as they can in a short time.

C.Arts students must pass both yikao and gaokao.

D.The academic requirements for the arts students are not high.

【5】On which page of a newspaper can we find the passage?

A.Science. B.Education. C.Nature. D.History

26、Dear Sunday Globe，

I am writing to tell you about your article Smartphones Make Life Easier in last Sunday’s newspaper. You did an excellent job explaining the good points of smartphones, but you didn’t talk about their bad points at all. So, I hope you’ll let me give your readers some advice on smartphone etiquette(礼仪)．

The first point I’d like to address is loudness. When you talk on your smartphone in public, please don’t shout. In fact, the microphones in smartphones are very sensitive(灵敏的). So, you can be heard even if you speak quietly.

Another point is about personal space. I don’t think it is polite to make calls in small spaces full of people. This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business. What’s worse, it stops many face­to­face conversations from ever beginning.

Lastly, doing two things at the same time is dangerous. For example, making calls while driving is a bad habit. Pay attention to the road! Similarly, when staying with your friends, turn off your smartphone and enjoy their company.

Yours truly，

Amber Jala

【1】Amber Jala wrote the letter to ________．

A. find a good job

B. provide advice

D. buy a smartphone

【2】What does the underlined word “address” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. 致函   B. 称呼

C. 陈述   D. 选址

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. It is dangerous to drive on the road.

B. It is easy to start a company with others.

C. It is bad to turn off our phones while driving.

D. It is important to use our smartphones properly.

27、When most dog owners use certain words like “sit”, “stay” or “treat”, they are sure that their dogs know exactly what they mean. However, researchers wonder whether dogs really understand human speech or depend on other information. For example, does the word “take” form a picture of a stick or ball in the dog’s mind, or does the dog bring back the object based on the owner’s voice or gesture? A new study seems to show that “man’s best friend” does indeed know what the owner is saying.

The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve different dogs to train their pets to pick out two different toys such as a toy animal and a ball. Once the dogs took turns inside a special scanner (扫描仪). While holding up objects the dogs hadn’t seen before, first the owners tested their dog’s language skill by calling out the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize, and then they tested by saying meaningless words such as “bobbu” and “bodmick”.

Something interesting was that the dog’s brains showed a higher level of neural (神经的) activity at the sound of unknown words. This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains, which get more active at the sound of familiar words. The researchers say the dogs may become cheerful at the sound of new words. They try to understand the new words in the hope of delighting their owners. “Dogs want to please their owners, and perhaps also want to receive praise or food,” says a senior author of the study.

However, though your pet may understand human speech, the scientists recommend showing some objects and letting them smell for training. “When people want to teach their dog a trick, they often use spoken commands because that’s what we humans prefer,” Prichard says. “From the dog’s view, however, objects might be more effective.”

【1】What’s the purpose of the new study?

A．To punish dog owners who treat their dogs badly.

B．To advise dog owners to treat their dogs kindly.

C．To prove dogs follow owners’ order by listening.

D．To test out how dogs get information from owners.

【2】What does the writer mean to do in Paragraph 2?

A．Announce the result of the research.

B．Present the process of the research.

C．Stress the importance of the research.

D．Introduce the subjects of the research.

【3】According to the passage, what’s the difference between human brains and dog brains?

A．Human brains become active in unfamiliar words.

B．Dog brains become delighted at unfamiliar words.

C．Human brains are not sensitive to familiar words.

D．Dog brains show no sense to familiar words.

【4】What do scientists advise the owners to do in dog training?

A．Give dogs spoken orders.

B．Teach dogs new tricks.

C．Include sight and smell.

D．Encourage faster learning.
