24、In the middle of the first term of school， the whole seventh grade was tested for basic skills. Steve hurried through his tests， and continued to dream of other things. His heart was not in school， but in the woods.

One day， Miss White’s voice broke into his daydreams. “Steve! Listen carefully!” Steve turned to look at her， fixing his eyes on Miss White， as she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade.

“You all did pretty well，” she told the class， “except for one boy， and it breaks my heart to tell you this， but...” She hesitated， her eyes searching his face. “...The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!” She just stared at Steve. Steve dropped his eyes.

After that， it was war! Steve still wouldn’t do his homework. Even as the punishments became more serious， he was still stubborn.

“Just try it! ONE WEEK!” He was unmoved.

“You’re smart enough! You’ll see a change!” Nothing touched him.

“Give yourself a chance! Don’t give up on your life!” Nothing.

“Steve! Please! I care about you!”

Wow! Suddenly， Steve got it! Someone cared about him! Steve went home from school， thoughtful， that afternoon. Walking into the house， both parents were out. He， quickly， gathered up a jar of peanut butter， a loaf of bread， a bottle of water， and this time...his schoolbooks.

26、   Some of Paul’s schoolmates learn two languages—English and French. So does Paul. As an Englishman, Paul can also speak German and Spanish. So, do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren’t.

The survey done by the European Commission (欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.

And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That’s why British people don’t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.

In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means at school learning a foreign language is only an option. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don’t students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good results in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.

To solve this problem, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.

Changing the British attitude(态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to have a try!

【1】Which country is Paul from?

A.France. B.Germany.

C.Spain. D.The United Kingdom.

【2】According to the passage, students in Britain prefer to learn .

A.选修课 B.必修课 C.实验课 D.艺术课

【4】Which of the following about the British people is TRUE?

A.They are good language learners.

B.They are famous for speaking foreign languages.

C.More than half of them only speak English.

D.56% of them speak at least one foreign language.

【5】What is the best title of the passage?

A.English Speaking B.Young English Learners

C.Schools in England D.Language Learning in Britain

27、Three students are talking about the New Year tradition of their own country.

A．Christina from Spain

On the last day of the year, the 31st of December, people wait till 12 p．m. Everybody must have 12 grapes to eat at midnight. At each sound of the clock, we must eat a grape. But we can't ever finish eating the grapes on time! Usually when people still have some grapes in their mouths, they look at each other and start to laugh. This tradition started in Spain long ago.

Then everybody sings a song about friendship and kisses their friends. We say “Happy New Year” to each other. It's lucky if a tall man with dark hair is the first person to come to the house in the New Year. So I go and visit as many friends as I can. They all give me a drink.

C．Angela from Brazil

In all cities in Brazil, we have a big party on New Year's Eve, especially in Rio de Janeiro. People in this city go to the beaches to watch fireworks (焰火).

28、根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。每空限填一词。

SEPT 10 is a day for us to say thank you to teachers. But next year we might do it on a【1】 day. A draft amendment（修正案草案）on education laws proposes（提议）to m【2】 Teachers’ Day to Sept 28, which is believed to be the birthday of Confucius（551-479BC）.

The Chinese mainland started to c【3】 Teachers’ Day in 1985. There was no special reason why Sept 10 was chosen.

But many people think it’s not a good choice.

Teachers are always too busy on Sept 10, because the new t【4】 starts at the beginning of the month. If the day is at the end of September, it will be near the National Day and teachers can enjoy the two holidays t【5】.

Besides, people think Teachers’Day should fall on a day with a special historical and cultural m【6】. That’s why Sept 28 is a good choice.

Confucius is an important educationalist and philosopher in Chinese history. His ideas help shape our values. He tells us to love our family and respect（尊敬）the elderly.

More importantly, Confucius started Chinas private education s【7】 . There were 3,000 students who ever learned by Confucius. It is said that twenty-two of them had learned six arts, and Confucius spoke highly of ten of them. Chinese people name him as the “best teacher in ancient times” and a “model teacher for generations”.

Currently, the State Council（国务院）is collecting p【8】 opinion the change.

In an online survey on sina.com, 65 percent of people supported the change as of Sept 10. But about 31 percent were a【9】 it. They believed it is nothing but formalism（形式主义）.

Zhang Feiran, 13, from Changsha, Hunan gave his teachers cards as gifts on Sept 10. “To me, it doesn’t matter which day is Teachers’ Day. It’s just a day to remind（提醒）me o【10】 every year to be grateful to teachers,” he said.
