At that time they decided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only speak English This was because they were now living in an English speaking country Now the Vieira children are adults and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends But they can t 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 benefits to knowing more than one language One advantage of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more people around the world You do not have to depend on others to talk for you so you re more independent 独立 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 person s 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 other The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear In fact there are no disadvantages It is very sad that many people don t try to learn another language It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced 1 What is the passage mainly about 第 2 页 共 11 页 A The importance of learning English B The benefits of learning another language C How to learn foreign languages well D The reasons

them travel alone And they travel through a universe which is so large that one star seldom comes near to another For the most important part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness like a ship on an empty ocean The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbour From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it We believe however that some two thousand million years ago another star wandering 漫游 through space happened to come near our sun just as the sun and the moon raised its tides 潮汐 on the earth so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans A large tidal 潮汐的 wave must have travelled over the surface of the sun at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it 第 5 页 共 11 页 As the cause of the disturbance came nearer so the mountain rose higher and higher And before the star began to move away again its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and thrown off small parts of itself into space These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since They are the planets 1 Most stars are A following a regular path in space B moving about without a fixed course C seldom wandering about in the universe D always travelling together 2 Some two thousand years ago the mountain on the sun was raised probably because A the star moved away from the sun B another star happened to come near the sun C the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earth D a large tidal of wave

in the sun 4 第 6 页 共 11 页 The expression the cause of the disturbance refers to A the large tidal wave B the powerful tidal pull C the star coming near the sun D one of sun s planets 5 In the article the writer mainly wants to tell us A where the planets in the universe came from B how the high mountains were formed on the sun C that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine it D why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerful 4 10 分 2017 九上 杭州开学考 阅读理解 What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up
