This is obvious（显而易见的）.There are two ways to get correct English sentences: listening and reading. Both are good, but reading is much easier than listening. With the help of a good dictionary, you will be able to understand English texts much more easily than movies. If you just read one book in English, you will see that your English has become much better. English phrases will just come to you without thinking when you are writing or speaking.This is true for hundreds of words and grammar structures（结构）. If you read in English, you can forget about grammar rules. Throw away your grammar book! You neednt know the rules for the present perfect tense(现在完成时). Instead, read a few books in English, and soon you will feel that “I have seen Paul yesterday” is wrong. The only difference between you and native speakers is that they have heard and read more English sentences than you have.（1）From the first paragraph, we know that _.A . English is difficult to learnB . if you have seen an English sentence, you can speak EnglishC . before you use English, you must know some EnglishD . everyone is a born English speaker（2）What is the best way to get correct English sentences according to the passage?A .

Her first volunteer experience was for the American Red Cross when she was in high school. When she was a school teacher, she also found time to volunteer. One year, she organized a Super Saturday Fun Day for kids in the community. She also used to volunteer at the Mint Festival every year. One summer, she served food, another year she organized an art programme.2After she retired, she started volunteering to help the old. When her father was older, he was not able to see as well as he used to, which made her sad because he had always enjoyed reading. She decided it would be fun to read to elderly people in her community. She also helped one woman write her stories. Ann was almost 100 years old, and Helen wrote down information about her life when she visited her. She put the information in a book and got it published. Ann was very excited to share her life story with her children and her grandchildren.3After a hurricane(飓风) destroyed some southern cities, Helen volunteered again for the American Red Cross. She prepared food and answered phones in a care centre. She says, “I have always liked the Red Cross because the organization helps people in need no matter what.”4One day, Helen read an article in the newspaper about refugees(难民) who needed to learn English. Now, she meets once a week with Sahra, a 38-year-old woman, from Somalia. Sahra is living and working in a town about 30 minutes walk from where Helen lives. They work on reading and writing skills. Helen gave Sahra a camera and asked her to take pictures of her daily life. She developed the pictures, and then asked Sahra questions about them. In the end, they wrote a book together and used the photos in the book. This helped Sahra learn many new words about her everyday life.5Helen says, “The most rewarding(有益的) part of volunteer work is becoming friends with the people I help. They enrich my life as well as I enrich theirs.”（1）When was Helens first volunteer experience for the American Red Cross?（2）What did Helen do after she retired?（3）Why was Ann excited when her book got published?（4）Where did Helen work when she volunteered again for the American Red Cross?（5）How far is Sahra living and working from Helens home?（6）Did Helen help Sahra to learn English?（7）What can you learn from Helen?14. （8分）阅读理解The Smith family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country. Now the Smith children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunately this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many advantages to knowing more than one language.If you can speak more than one language, you can communicate directly with more people around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so youre more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate.Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Local expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect on a persons understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures.Finally, having more multi-language speakers improves relationships between countries. If people from different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each others problems.Its clear that knowing more than one language is really good. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people dont try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.（1）The passage begins with the experience of the Smith family in order to_. A . discuss the need for teaching a new languageB . introduce the passages main characters to the readersC . describe the advantages of moving to another countryD . show the problems of speaking only one language（2）The underlined phrase “multi-language speakers” (Paragraph 4) means “people who know _.” A . their mother languageB . a new languageC . more than one languageD . body language（3）According to the last paragraph, which of the following is the worst? A . Not knowing another language.B . Forgetting ones mother language.C . Refusing to learn another language.D . Failing to communicate with others.（4）What is the passage mainly about? A . The advantages of learning other languages.B . The reasons why people come to America.C . The importance of learning EnglishD . How to learn another language四、 选词填空 (共1题；共5分)15. （5分）选词填空go play have soccer get（1）Li Lin_ five photos of TFBOYS. （2）I can spell the word (单词）_: S-0-C-C-E-R. （3）I want(想要) to_ to Beijing.
