【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Grammar is the system of a language. People sometimes describe grammar as the “rules” of a language; but in fact no language has rules. If we use the word “rules”, we suggest that somebody created the rules first and then spoke the language, like a new game. But languages did not start like that. Languages started by people making sounds which evolved (逐渐发展成) into words, phrases and sentences. No commonly-spoken language is fixed. All languages change over time. What we call “grammar” is simply a reflection (反映) of a language at a particular time.
Do we need to study grammar to learn a language? The short answer is “no”. Very many people in the world speak their own, native language without having studied its grammar. Children start to speak before they even know the word“grammar”. But if you are serious about learning a foreign language, the long answer is “yes, grammar can help you to learn a language more quickly and more efficiently.” It's important to think of grammar as something that can help you, like a friend. When you understand the grammar (or system) of a language, you can understand many things yourself, without having to ask a teacher or look in a book.
So think of grammar as something good, something positive, something that you can use to find your way---like a signpost(路标) or a map.
Except invented languages like Esperanto(世界语). And if Esperanto were widely spoken, its rules would soon be very different.
(1)Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.Grammar is the system of a language.
B.Someone created the grammar first and then people learn the language according to it.
C.Language's developing and forming is a long-term process (过程).
D.There is no language staying the same all the time.
(2)What is the author's attitude towards grammar learning?
A.He is against grammar learning.
B.He is in favor of grammar learning.
C.His attitude is objective(客观的).
D.His attitude is unknown to us.
(3)Which of the following is CORRECT according to the last paragraph?
A.Esperanto is widely spoken.
B.Esperanto is different from other languages because its rules are fixed.
C.Esperanto is different from other languages because its rules came out before this language.
D.Esperanto is very easy to learn.
【答案】
(1)B
(2)C
(3)C
【解析】本篇文章主要讲述学习语言并不一定要学习语法。但是如果学习了语法却有利于更好地学习语言。

(3)C。细节理解题。And if Esperanto were widely spoken, its rules would soon be very different.如果世界语被广泛使用,它的规则很快就会不同。因为世界语的语法在世界语形成前就有了,所以才会发现不同。故选C。

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
There are many idioms in English. An idiom is a phrase that we can't understand from the meaning of each word. The following are some of them.
As the crow flies
When a bird flies from place to place, it takes the most direct route. But when people drive, they have to follow roads and often go farther. When people give a distance "as the crow flies", they mean the shortest distance between the two points, not the distance you would have to travel by following roads.
As Dan and his mum drove along the river, they could see the beach on the opposite side. Dan asked "How far is it to the beach?"
"It's only about a quarter of a mile as the crow flies" his mother said.
Blow hot and cold
In one of Aesop's Fables, a man blows on his fingers to warm them up and then blows on his soup to cool it down. In both cases, the man is opening his mouth, but what comes out is different. If a person says one thing and later says the opposite, we say that the person is blowing hot and cold.
"Is Felicia going to try out for the soccer team this year?" Stacy asked.
"I don't know," Tricia replied." Last week she was saying yes, but this week she's saying no. She's really blowing hot and cold."
Break the ice
Nowadays people use the phrase to refer to ending an awkward silence by beginning a conversation.
It was the first day of summer camp. The four girls began to make their beds in silence. None of the girls knew each other, and no one knew what to say. Finally, one of them broke the ice by saying" Hey, where's everybody from?"
Bury the hatchet
In native American culture, when two nations agreed to end their war, they buried the hatchet. So to bury the hatchet is to make peace with someone else.
Colin could not excuse his sister for breaking his tennis racket. Finally, his sister said, "Colin, can't we bury the hatchet?"
(1)What does "as the crow flies" mean?
A.In the smoothest way.
B.In a straight line.
C.By plane.
D.At top speed.
(2)"Blow hot and cold " can be used to talk about someone's ______.
A.dishonesty
B.changing attitudes
C.communication skills
D.bad manner
(3)It can be inferred that Colin's sister hoped that Colin would ______.
A.buy a new tennis racket
B.stay away from her
C.forgive her mistake
D.make an apology to her
(4)Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A.What Felicia thought was different from what he said.
B.Dan and his mother need drive a quarter of a mile to the beach.
C.“Bury the hatchet” is an idiom from Aesop's Fables.
D.It's difficult to understand the meaning of an idiom by each word.

Dear Bob,
I'm writing to apologize for having forgotten to return the “the Beatles” CD to you while I left Canada, I was in such hurry that I packed everything in my luggages without checking carefully. Had I paid more attention then, I wouldn't have made such stupid a mistake.
Now everything must be done to solve the problem because I understood you cherish the CD enormously. I can either send it to you by express mail or alternatively compensate(补偿) you at a reasonably price. If you do not mind, I may bring it back to you next time I will go to Canada.
Please let me know what solution you prefer at your earliest convenience. Felt extremely guilty, I really hope you will accept my sincere apology.
Faithfully yours,
Li Ming

There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding.
The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don't have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.
The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader's understanding. Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “learning” means understanding more, not remembering more information.
What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved.
It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.
A.Thus, we can employ the word “reading” in two distinct senses.
B.Such communication between unequals must be possible.
C.We can get access to the content of those materials easily.
D.The writer must be “superior” to the reader in understanding.
E. The writer should have a better communicating skill.
F. Besides gaining information and understanding, there's another goal of reading—entertainment.
G. Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.

【题目】It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night.The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.
My father realised it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him.I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same.I' m so glad I did.
On the way to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape.After all, it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea.As we got on board, we noticed two big humps (脊背) in the distance.
On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby.We couldn't believe it — there aren't any whales along the coast here.The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.
The little baby whale —actually as big as our boat — was obviously stuck and could not move.The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools (漩涡) and waves."She's trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side," my father said.At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently.With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water.Then it swam up right beside its mum.They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction.We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel.Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breathe -- and to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes.Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.
In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half.That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day.Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.
【1】The author says "I' m so glad I did." ( in Para.2) because _________.
A. he witnessed the whole process of fishing
B. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea
C. he experienced the rescue of the whales
D. he spent the weekend with his family
【2】The mother whale failed to help her baby because __________.
A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too long
B. the whirlpools she had made were not big enough
C. she had no other whales around to turn to for help
D. the waves pushed her baby in the wrong direction
【3】What is the theme of the story?
A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness.
B. Fishing provides excitement for children.
C. It's necessary to live in harmony with animals.
D. It's vital to protect the whale in the ocean.
