my interest in english had certainly been awakened when i began to learn english at school. just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn new concept english by myself! i was confused and even angry. i could not understand why a father could be so strict with his little girl. all the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that i follow through with his idea. at first, i read stories with tears and i actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. in the end, i came to love the funny stories and, to be honest, my father was always there with a helping hand. i am sure that my english would never have got so far without his support. and thats why my father is not only my first english teacher but also my lifelong teacher. he is the one who aroused my interest, gave me confidence and offered me much needed help.41most pupils in china begin to learn english_.afrom parents bin primary school cat home dat three years old42the underline part “no other than my father” in the passage probably means_. amy father himself bnot my father clike my father dnot only my father43from the whole passage we can see that_. athe girl hates her father because he was strict bthe girl is very thankful to her father cthe girl preferred playing to learning english dthe father gave up after knowing his daughter could not understand44which of the following is not true according to the passage? athe girls father is her first english teacher. bthe girl had been interested in english before going to school. cthe girls father was always ready to help her with her english. dthe girl could have learned english well by herself without her father.45what would be the best title for the passage? athe relationship between my father and i bhow i learned english at school cmy father-my first and lifelong english teacher dive made progress in english learningb traveling can be a very fun and exciting way to vacation with your family, but it does not always turn out as expected. i have traveled a lot with my family over the years, but some experiences are worth forgetting altogether. i remember a particular traveling experience which sticks out in my mind for the wrong reasons. my dad and stepmom had decided to drive to california for our family vacation. this was supposed to provide educational value, since we would be able to stop along the way and look at various sites in each state. everything was going as planned until we decided to take a break and stop at the grand canyon(大峡谷). i had always wanted to see this exciting place and had decided to write a report on it for my eight-grade english class. we got out of the car and were walking on one of the paths to get to a cliff(悬崖) so we could take a family photo when i slipped(滑倒) and fell down. i fell on a piece of rock, and felt great pain run up my leg at once. my dad took me to the nearest hospital and, after an eight-hour wait in the emergency room（急诊室）, found out that i broke two bones in my foot.needless to say, our vacation was no fun for me because i was in pain during the whole two-week trip. i ended up making an appointment the day we got home to see a doctor for a check-up. that was definitely not what i consider fun or a great vacation, and it really put a dent in our sightseeing plans.46. what is the authors attitude towards traveling?a. curious b. positive c. satisfied d. objective(客观的)47. why does the author always remember the particular traveling experience?a. it was full of adventures. (冒险) b. it was an unpleasant experience.c. it was terribly boring and tiring. d. it was of educational value to him.48. the author slipped and fell down when he was _.a. parking his car b. walking on a path to a cliff c. taking a photo of his family d. standing on the edge of a cliff49. from the passage we learn that _.a. the bones of the authors two legs were broken. b. the author waited for 8 hours before the treatmentc. the author was taken to the hospital near his homed. the travel of the family lasted about half a month50. what does the underlined phrase put a dent in in the last paragraph probably mean?a. canceled. b. developed. c. ruined. d. uncovered. c american and british people use different greetings. in the usa the commonest greeting is “hi”. in britain it is “hello!” or “how are you?”. “hi!” is creeping(不知不觉地进入) into british, too. when they are introduced to someone, the americans say, “glad to know you.” the british say, “how do you do?” or “pleased to meet you.” when americans say “good-bye”, they nearly always add, “have a good day.” or “have a good trip.” etc. to friends and strangers alike. britons are already beginning to use “have a good day.”the british usually use “got” in the sense of “have”. the americans hardly ever do.am.e: do you have a car, room, etc.? yes, i do.br.e: have you got a car, room, etc.? yes, i have.there are a number of differences between american and british english in the spelling of words, e.g. check(us)/cheque (uk). many american words ending in “or”, e.g. honor, labor are spelt in british english with an “our,” e.g. honour, labour. many verbs in american english with “ize” or “izing” forms, e.g. organize, realizing are spelt in bre with “ise” or “ising”, e.g. organise, realising. in american english, “practice” is used both for the verb and noun. in bre, the verb is spelt “practise”, and the noun “practice.” in american english, one writes “traveler,” while in british english, one writes “traveller”.it was once predicted that british and american english would become separate languages finally. but the opposite has happened. the links(联系) between the two countries are so strong that linguistically(语言上地),and probably culturally(文化上地) too, they are closer together than ever.51. the americans hardly say “_” a. good-bye. have a good day! b. glad to know you! c. hi! d. have you got a car?52. an englishman writes _.a. cheque; center b. honor; organise c. traveler; practice d. labour;traveller53. what does the third paragraph talk about?a. there are lots of differences in spelling between am.e and br.e.b. why the americans and the british use different spellings.c. there are few differences in spelling between am.e and br.e.d. the different usages of words in am.e and br.e.54. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. the two languages will become separate languages gradually. b. american english will be used more often than british english. c. the two languages will be closer and closer.d. british english will be used more often than american english. 55. what is the passage mainly talking about?a. british and american english would become separate languages finally.b. the differences between british and american english in every way.c. the differences between british and american english in greetings and spelling.d. british and american english are closer together than ever.d the number of speakers of english in shakespeares time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language，mainly in the united states，canada，great britain，ireland，south africa，australia and new zealand. in addition to the standard varieties（不同种类）of english found in these areas，there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms. in fact，it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of english in addition to(除.之外) their own languages. the purpose for english learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied(不同的) that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation. the main reason for the widespread demand for english is its present-day importance as a world language. besides serving the indefinite(不明确的) needs of its native speakers，english is a language in which some of important works in science，technology，and other fields are being produced，and not always by native speakers. it is widely used for such purposes as meteorological(气象学的) and airport communications，international conferences(会议)，and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. it is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries，especially former british colonies. many of these countries have multilingual(多种语言的) populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government，commerce(商业)，industry，law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the west.56what would be the best title for this passage? athe difficulties of learning english binternational communications cthe standard varieties of english denglish as a world language57which of the following statements is not true? asome 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of english. bthere are some 260 million native speakers of english in the world. cit is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of english. dpeople learn english for a variety of reasons.58according to the passage，what is the main reason for the widespread use of english? ait was popular during shakespeares time. bit is used in former british colonies. cit serves the needs of its native speakers. dit is a world language that is used for international communication.59what forms an adequate working knowledge of english?
