37 it depends on many things; chinese, for example, has no tense, but it has awriting system that is very different from the systems used in english. 38 with english, i feel that it is an easy language to pick up at the start. 39 this might be because it seems not to have the complexity and abundance of grammatical rules that many languages have. 40 having mastered the basics of english, many students then find it hard to reach the very high levels, because there are so many exceptions to everything and so many funny little rules. all in all, id say it is easy to begin with, but it gets a lot harder down the path. if your goal is to reach fluency, then english is not an easy language. a.i have also heard that chinese is the most difficult. b. it has an enormous vocabulary. c. however, this is also one of its difficulties. d. one thing might be harder, but another is simpler. e. it depends on how close the language is to your own. f. many students can start speaking it fairly quickly. g. are some languages harder than others?第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给四个选项（a. b.c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 there was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love. one day while she was walking in the woods she found two 41 songbirds. they looked so hungry and weak that they could hardly stood on their 42 .she took them home and put them in a small 43 ,caring them with love. luckily, the birds 44 strong little by little. every morning they 45 her with a wonderful song. the girl felt great love for the birds. one day the girl left the door to the cage open_46.the larger andstronger of the two birds flew from the cage. the girl was so 47 that he would fly away. so as he flew close, she grasped him 48 .her heart felt glad at her success in 49 him. suddenly, she felt the bird go 50 ,so she opened her hand and stared in 51 at the dead bird. it was her 52 love that had killed him. she noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the 53 0f the cage. she could feel his strong 54 needing to fly into the clear, blue sky. unwillingly, she lifted him from the cage and threw him softly into the _55 _the lucky bird circled once, twice, three times: the girl . 56 delightedly at the bird. her heart was no longer concerned with her _ 57 . what she wanted to _ 58 was that the bird could fly happily. suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly 59 her shoulder. it sang the sweetest tune that she had ever heard. remember, the fastest way to lose love is to hold on to it too tight 60 the best way to keep love is to give it wings! 41. a. flying b. singing c. starving d. running 42. a. wings b. backs c. heads d. feet 43. a. cage b. bottle c. box d. bed 44. a. appeared b. remained c. proved d. grew 45. a. fed b. greeted c. surprised d. connected 46. a. accidentally b. quietly c. carefully d. purposely 47. a. delighted b. frightened c. impressed d. misunderstood 48.a.gently b. kindly c. wildly d. quickly49. a. freeing b. departing c. killing d. capturing 50.a.angry b. crazy c. pale d weak 51. a. excitement b. horror c. astonishment d. silence 52.a.desperate b. great c. tender d. false 53.a.top b. edge c. back d. front 54. a. sadness b. disappointment c. desire d. joy 55.a.air b. water c. street d. woods 56.a.glared b. shouted c. watched d. jumped 57.a.achievement b. loss . c. regret d. failure 58.a.know b. learn c. feel d. see 59,a.at b. in c. on d. over 60.a.but b. while c. when d. as第卷（非选择题，共50分）注意事项： 1必须使用0.5毫米黑色墨迹签字笔在答题卡上题目所示的答题区域内作答。答在试题卷上无效。 2第卷共三节，共计50分。第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式（不超过3个单词）。 once upon a time an american familys home was their castle and the bigger the better, but 61 (grow) concerns about money and the environment 62 (help) fuel a new movement of people 63 are happy
