Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin(普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind.
“I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin, ” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language.
He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends. While it’s a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power, ” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency (熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.
“People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast, ” said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country. ”
Abbott predicts that as many as 100, 000 students are now studying Mandarin in public and private schools throughout the US. She said the US government has designated (指定) Mandarin as an “important need” language and provides professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language ability for economic competitiveness, ” Abbott added.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas at Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.

Who taught you to speak English Your parents, while you were a young child Your teachers at school Perhaps even broadcast programs as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language.
　　There are now about 700 million people who speak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learned it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be two billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.
　　Is this a good thing, or a bad thing Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures Or should we worry about the danger of “mono-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music
　　Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language On the contrary, I would have thought although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India (where many of them speak at least some English)and Pakistan(the same situation with India). . .
　　If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonald’s burgers Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的), will it kill other languages I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but also one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.
　　When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose, ” he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of roses ”
　　Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me.
【语篇概述】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了英语的重要性, 并提出了有些人担心英语会成为让世界单一的语言。对此作者以花园来比喻, 提出了多种语言共存的必要性, 鼓励人们多学英语。

B. Wars can destroy the relationship between two countries.

13. What does “garden” in the last two paragraphs stand for

【解析】选B。词义猜测题。最后两段作者提出没有人喜欢自己的花园里只种玫瑰, 想借此表达所有的国家不能都使用一种语言。此处garden指世界; Language语言; The world世界; Family家庭; The earth地球。故选B。

A. It’s very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a garden.
B. More and more people like to plant roses in their gardens.

D. English is easier to learn than other languages.
【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据最后一段But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me. (但在我看来, 只要种上几朵玫瑰, 你不一定要把其他的都拔出来。如果越来越多的人想种英国玫瑰, 我没意见。)可知, 作者用玫瑰比喻语言, 他认为别的国家的人学英语是好的, 故选C。

第二节(共5小题; 每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)
　　阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words seem to make the mission impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily. That’s why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words. 　16　Here are some tips to help.
　17　We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps activate aural(hearing)memory, which helps the memory. 　18　The more familiar we are with the word, the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.
Never memorize single English words. 　19　Relate the word to terms we already know, either as synonym or antonym. For example, the word “gargantuan” (very large) is similar in meaning to words “gigantic”, “huge” and “large”. Make a sequence of words: “small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan”. Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, “The gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole”.
Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help. 　20　Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in your English learning.
A. So take action right now.
B. Speak the word while memorizing it.
C. Memorizing new words is very important.
D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.
E. Make as many associations and connections as possible.
F. In fact, learning new words needn’t be that difficult.
G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.

【语篇概述】生活中我们常常会遇到这样的情况, 明明喝的是咖啡却非常在意装咖啡的杯子, 殊不知咖啡杯仅仅是一个器具, 而杯中的咖啡才应该是真正的乐趣所在。
21. A. information　　　　 B. complaints
C. surprises D. satisfaction
【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。根据本句的“stress”及下文第二段末句中的“problems and stress”可知, 此处应该是抱怨生活和工作中的压力。
22. A. carried B. returned
C. arrived D. brought
【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。因为前文提到要给学生们咖啡喝, 那么教授去了厨房之后应该是带着咖啡返回。
23. A. devote B. expose
C. help D. provide
【解析】选C。固定搭配题。help oneself to是固定搭配, 意为“随便用(或吃)”。教授拿出不同的杯子和咖啡让学生自便, 从而引出下文教授的评价与教导。
24. A. seen B. discovered
C. recognized D. noticed
【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。教授拿出许多不同的咖啡杯, 这是教授引起学生注意的方式, 所以教授说: “你们都注意到了”。因此答案选noticed, 意为“注意, 关注”。
25. A. taken in B. taken back
C. taken out D. taken up
【解析】选D。短语辨析题。句意: 价钱贵, 样子又好看的杯子你们都用上了, 放在一旁的都是一些不好看的便宜货。take up意为“占用; 拿起”, 符合句意, 故选D。take in意为“吸入”; take back意为“收回”; take out意为“取出, 获得”。
26. A. cheap　B. dear　C. pretty　D. fantastic
【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。此空所填词应该与plain构成并列关系, 所以选择A项, 另外cheap与本句中的“expensive”也是相对的。
27. A. resource B. source
C. result D. point
【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。句意: 虽然你们只想给自己选择最好的, 这是人之常情, 但是这也正是你们的问题和压力的根源所在。根据句意可知, 应选择B项, source意为“根源”。
28. A. increases B. expands
C. extends D. adds
【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。add to意为“增加”, 即教授认为杯子本身不会增加咖啡的质量。故答案选D。increase一般表示具体数量上的增加; expand意为“扩大, 增加, 增强(尺码、数量或重要性)”; extend意为“使伸长, 扩大, 扩展”, 均不符合语境, 故排除。
29. A. At no time B. In most cases
C. In no case D. At times
【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。in most cases意为“在大部分情况下”, 与本句中的“in some cases”相呼应。
30. A. drink B. desire C. eat D. want
【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。根据语境可知, 此处指“我们所喝的咖啡”, what引导宾语从句, 在从句中作宾语, 指代咖啡。
31. A. suspecting B. envying
C. considering D. eyeing
【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。自己已经选择了自认为是最好的杯子, 选好之后还要打量别人的杯子。eye用作动词, 意为“注视, 审视, 细看”, 符合语境。suspect一般不用于进行时, 意为“怀疑”; envy意为“嫉妒”; consider意为“考虑”, 均不符合语境。
32. A. offer B. take C. live D. hold
【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。与and后面的“contain”是同义词, 并且能够接宾语life的只有D项, hold意为“容纳”。
33. A. exchange B. raise
C. change D. create
【解析】选C。逻辑推理题。句意: 我们使用的杯子的类型不能限定也改变不了我们的生活质量。根据上下文可知, 杯子并不能使杯中的咖啡发生任何改变, 故C项符合语境。
34. A. have B. hesitate
C. forget D. fail
【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。句意: 有时候人们只关注盛咖啡的杯子, 而没能品尝出咖啡的味道。言外之意是人们过于关注生活的外在表现形式, 而忽略生活的真正内涵。fail to do sth. 意为“不能做某事”, 符合语境。
35. A. defeat B. drive C. decide D. puzzle
【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。本句是全文的结束句, 也是对全文的总结, 即不要让杯子牵着你走, 应该享受咖啡本身。drive此处表示“迫使, 驱使”, 符合语境, 故选B。

　　Jim picked up the newspaper that was lying on the couch. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring a contest (比赛). “Tell us why your mom is special and win a shopping spree (疯狂购物) for her, ” said the advertisement.
　　“This is perfect! ” thought Jim. He ran to his room with the newspaper. Taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write.
　　“My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes lunch for me to take to school, and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters. And she gives the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom. ”
　　Jim liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp from his dad. He ran to the mailbox with his entry (参赛作品). “Mom will love having a shopping spree, ”he thought.
　　Jim checked the mailbox every day for his prize. Days passed by, and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother’s Day. Jim still hadn’t heard anything about the contest.
　　“What am I going to do now ” he wondered. He didn’t have a present, and he didn’t have a shopping spree. And he still didn’t have money.
　　He had to think of something. Jim closed his eyes and curled his toes and thought hard.

　　The next morning Jim handed his present to his mom. “Happy Mother’s Day! ” he yelled. Mom read Jim’s poster. By the time she had finished, she was smiling and crying at the same time. “Thank you, ” she said, wiping her eyes. “This is the best present I have ever had. ” Jim grinned. “Maybe we missed a shopping spree. However, I have something else for you, too. ” He said. He checked to make sure no one was looking, and then he gave his mother a great hug.

Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin(普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind.
“I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin, ” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language.
He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends. While it’s a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power, ” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency (熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.
“People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast, ” said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country. ”
Abbott predicts that as many as 100, 000 students are now studying Mandarin in public and private schools throughout the US. She said the US government has designated (指定) Mandarin as an “important need” language and provides professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language ability for economic competitiveness, ” Abbott added.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas at Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.

Who taught you to speak English Your parents, while you were a young child Your teachers at school Perhaps even broadcast programs as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language.
　　There are now about 700 million people who speak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learned it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be two billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.
　　Is this a good thing, or a bad thing Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures Or should we worry about the danger of “mono-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music
　　Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language On the contrary, I would have thought although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India (where many of them speak at least some English)and Pakistan(the same situation with India). . .
　　If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonald’s burgers Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的), will it kill other languages I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but also one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.
　　When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose, ” he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of roses ”
　　Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me.

　　阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is necessary but difficult for English beginners to memorize new words, and long lists of words seem to make the mission impossible. They are puzzled why they try to memorize words with great efforts but forget them easily. That’s why there are often inquiries about how to memorize new words. 　16　Here are some tips to help.
　17　We too often separate the process of new words memorization from pronunciation. In fact these two can be combined and each will enhance the other. Saying the word to ourselves helps activate aural(hearing)memory, which helps the memory. 　18　The more familiar we are with the word, the greater chance we will have to keep it for the rest of our life.
Never memorize single English words. 　19　Relate the word to terms we already know, either as synonym or antonym. For example, the word “gargantuan” (very large) is similar in meaning to words “gigantic”, “huge” and “large”. Make a sequence of words: “small, medium, large, gigantic, and gargantuan”. Create a mental image of the word that involves strong emotions. Think, “The gargantuan whale is going to swallow me whole”.
Learning English words requires action. Complaining how difficult it is to memorize new words will be of little help. 　20　Have a try with ten words a day and you will see what a difference you will make in your English learning.
A. So take action right now.
B. Speak the word while memorizing it.
C. Memorizing new words is very important.
D. Actually, some have given up learning new words.
E. Make as many associations and connections as possible.
F. In fact, learning new words needn’t be that difficult.
G. The sound of word helps us recall the spelling and familiarizes us with the word.
