11.阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文.
How early must a student begin preparing for an international education?Lisa Jain,the representative of The College Board in India showed her idea here clearly.
Many students who want to study abroad believe they need to start planning for it only in Grade12.What they don't realize is the amount of time,thought,and effort it requires.That is why a student should begin the ground work in Grade 10in order to gain a clear undestanding of what the college application process requires and to be prepared to deal with the pressures that will follow.
Focus on school grades and marks.It is important to try your best to perform well in academics throughout high school and not just in Grade 12.
Start gaining experience.Get involved in a small number of activities ove a long period of time,such as a sport,the arts,writing,research,community work,etc,through which you create impact in the activity,climb to a leadership position,grow as a person and develop skills.Picking something in Grade 12and claiming it's your passion won't work.
Begin research.Which country do you want to apply to colleges in?What do you want to study at college?Researching early and start reflecting on what you'd enjoy learning will make the college and major selection process less overwhelming in Grade 12.
All your efforts in Grade 10-11will help ease your burden in Grade 12.If you do everything at the right time,you will find the process enjoyable and realize there is hardly a reason to stress.Just remember:The early birds catch the worms!

In the passage,Lisa Jain offered her advice to those wanting to study abroad,pointing out that,to be prepared,a student should begin the ground work early in Grade 10,like focusing on good grades from the very beginning.
The early birds catch the worms!What a thought-provoking proverb,which reminds us to plan ahead of time and make full preparations so as to achieve success.In my opinion,"the early birds"means the people who always make early plans and adequate preparations,and"catch worms"indicates catching opportunities and harvesting success.Just as another saying goes,opportunities are for those who are prepared.Only if a person has an early start to get everything ready can he possess the ability to seize the chance and accomplish his goal.
Yu Ming Hong,the founder of the famous educational institution New Oriental,is a good illustration of the truth that success lies in an early start and good preparations. When studying in Peking university,aiming to find a good job in Beijing after graduation,Yu Ming Hong decided to improve his major English.So,from the freshman year,he kept reciting words every day and stuck to it all the way through his college life. With an early start and constant efforts,by the time he graduated,he had become the student who had the largest vocabulary among his classmates,which contributed directly to his good grades in English and thus he successfully became an English teacher in Peking University and later set up the well-known school.Undoubtedly,it was his"being the early bird"that brought him his success today.
Therefore,be an early bird,and you will find it pays off.But how?First of all,a clear goal is essential,which will lead us to where we want to go.Secondly,plan the day and manage our time.Early birds never fails to carefully plan and make the best of his time.And then painstaking efforts follow..

分析 本文是读写任务型写作,这类作文可按照三段式模板写:第一段:概况所给短文要点.第二段:过渡词引出主题句---阐述理由.第三段:个人观点.特别要注意第一段的概括.用自己的语言概括,不能照搬照抄原文. 时态用一般现在时.人称用第一和第三人称. 重要短语:offered sth to sb (提供某物给某人…),point out(指出),focus on(集中在…),a thought-provoking proverb (一个发人深省的谚语),remind us to do sth(提醒某人做某事),ahead of time (提前),make full preparations(作充分准备),so as to…(为了…),seize the chance(抓住机会),accomplish one's goal(实现某人的目标),lie in(在于…),aim to do sth(目的在于),stick to…(坚持…),contribute to(为…作贡献;促成),set up(建立…),pay off (获得成功),fail to do sth(没能做某事),make the best of one's time(充分利用时间).

1.What a thought-provoking proverb,which reminds us to plan ahead of time and make full preparations so as to achieve success.

3.When I learned that my 71-year-old mother was playing Scrabble-a word game-against herself,I knew I had to do something.My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against.I wasn't sure my mother was ready for it.After all,it had taken 10years to persuade her to buy an electric cooker.Even so,we packed up our old computer and delivered it to my parents'home.And so began my mother's adventure in the world of computers.
It also marked the beginning of an unusual teaching task for me.I've taught people of all ages,but I never thought I would be teaching my mother how to do anything.She has been the one teaching me all my life:to cool and sew; to enjoy the good times and put up with the bad.Now it was my turn to give something back.
It wasn't easy at the beginning.There was so much to explain and to introduce.Slowly but surely,my mother caught on,making notes in a little notebook.After a few months of Scrabble and other games,I decided it was time to introduce her to word processing.This proved to be a bigger challenge to her,so I gave her some homework I asked her to write me a letter,using different letter types,colors and spaces.
"Are you this demanding with your kindergarten pupils?"she asked.
"No,of course not,"I said."They already know how to use a computer."
My mother isn't the only one experiencing a fast personal growth period.Thanks to the computer,my father has finally got over his phone allergy.For as long as I can remember,any time I called,my mother would answer.Dad and I have had more phone conversations in the last two months than we've had in the past 20years.

29.What does the author do?B
A.She is a cook.
B.She is a teacher.
C.She is a housewife.
D.She is a computer engineer.
30.The author decided to give her mother a computerD.
A.to let her have more chances to write letters
B.to support her in doing her homework
C.to help her through the bad times
D.to make her life more enjoyable
31.The author asked her mother to write her a letterC.
A.because her mother had stopped using the telephone
B.because she wanted to keep in touch with her mother
C.so that her mother could practice what she had learned
D.so that mother could be free from housework
32.After the computer was brought home,the author's fatherB.
A.lost interest in cooking

16.My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live.Two dog walkers passed by and we heard one of them say,"Never seen that dog around here before."
We looked down the hill and saw an old black dog stumbling(蹒跚) painfully up the hill.We bent down,talked gently to the dog and patted it.I checked and there was a collar.There was a phone number on the collar,but no one answered.
The dog was painfully thin.It didn't have many teeth left and,well,it just seemed done.
Julie ran home to get some of our dog's food while I tried to encourage the dog to come along with me.Julie got home and back again when I was only half way there.So,we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food.
Eventually we got her home.We gave her a blanket,more food,kept her warm and wondered what to do next.
After trying for many times we got a response from the number.A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us.She explained that Tara had been her father's dog.She was very old and should probably be put to sleep,but the lady just couldn't bring herself to do it.So,Tara was safely returned home.
Here is the truth of the story:
Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving.She was trying to persuade me to come back,but I wasn't hearing anything that made that sound likely.
I was about to turn and go when an old,worn out dog walked between us and collapsed.Suddenly we had something more important than (our problem) to worry about.There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.
We did help it.And here am I writing the story in my own home,in my own family.
In the song"Love Is Not a Fight"Warren Barfield talks about marriage.At one point he sings,"And if we try to leave,may God send angels to guard the door."

20.YANG YUANQING,Lenovo's boss,hardly spoke a word of English until he was about 40:he grew up in rural poverty and read engineering at university.But when Lenovo bought IBM's personal-computer division in 2005he decided to immerse himself in English:he moved his family to North Carolina,hired a language tutor and--the ultimate sacrifice--spent hours watching cable-TV news.
Lenovo is one of a growing number of multinationals from the non-Anglophone world that have made English their official language.The fashion began in places with small populations but global ambitions such as Singapore and Switzerland.
Corporate English is now invading more difficult territory,such as Japan.Rakuten,a cross between Amazon and eBay,and Fast Retailing,which operates the Uniqlo fashion chain,were among the first to switch.Now they are being joined by old-economy companies such as Honda,a carmaker,and Bridgestone,a tyremaker.Chinese firms are proving harder to handle/crack:they have a huge internal market and are struggling to enroll/recruit competent managers of any description,let alone English-speakers.But some are following Lenovo's lead.Huawei has introduced English as a second language and encourages high-flyers(ambitious employees) to become fluent.
There are some obvious reasons why multinational companies want a lingua franca(共同语).Adopting English makes it easier to recruit global stars (including board members),reach global markets and assemble global production teams.Such steps are especially important to companies in Japan,where the population is shrinking.
Tsedal Neeley of Harvard Business School says that"Englishnisation"can stir up a hornet's nest of emotions.Ms.Neeley argues that companies must think carefully about implementing a policy that touches on so many emotions.Senior managers should explain to employees why switching to English is so important,provide them with classes and conversation groups,and offer them incentives(刺激) to improve their fluency,such as foreign postings.Those who are already proficient in English should speak more slowly and try not to dominate conversations.And managers must act as referees and enforcers,resolving conflicts and discouraging staff from returning to their native tongues.
Intergovernmental bodies like the European Union are obliged to pretend that there is no predominant global tongue.But businesses worldwide are facing up to the reality that English is the language on which the sun never sets.

74.Lenovo's boss made all the efforts to familiarize himself with English exceptC.
A.hiring a language tutor   
B.resettling in an English-speaking environment
C.expanding the business overseas   
D.exposing himself to English Cable-TV news.
75.What can we infer from the passage?D
A.Most Chinese firms would like to introduce corporate English.
B.Chinese firms are in great need of English majors as their managers.
C.Huawei followed Lenovo as the second largest multinational in China.
D.Adopting corporate English is more difficult in places with a large population.
76.Which of the following is true according to the passage?C
A.The decrease in population pushes the Japanese to learn English well.
B.Neither the governmental bodies nor businesses will regard English as a global tongue.
C.Companies should handle employees'emotions carefully during the switch.
D.Those good at English should be encouraged to speak more in the company.
77.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A
A.English-Global Tongue in Business.
B.English-Chinese Business Leaders'New Fashion.
C.English-The Best Tool in Communication.
D.English-Dominating Factor of Successful Business.
