Usually that first English teacher will be a young and lovely lady in primary school. But my first English teacher is no other than my father.Looking back, I can see that, when I was only a little girl, he created an English environment by providing me with flash cards, fun English-language toys and even dolls which can sing English songs! My interest in English had certainly been awakened when I began to learn English at school. Just imagine, he went a step further and asked me to learn New Concept English by myself! I was confused(迷惑不解) and even angry. I could not understand why my father could be so strict with his little girl. All the same, he never gave up and he gently insisted that I follow through with his ideas. At first, I read stories with tears in my eyes and I actually hated them because they were too difficult for me. In the end, I came to love the funny stories and, to be honest, my father was always there with a helping hand. I am sure that my English would never have got so far without his support. And that’s why my father is not only my first English teacher but also my lifelong teacher. He is the one who awoke my interest, who gave me confidence and who offered me much needed help.41. The underlined part “no other than my father” in the passage probably means ______.A. like my fatherB. not my fatherC. my father himselfD. not only my father42. From the passage we can see ______.A. the girl preferred playing to learning EnglishB. the girl hates her father because he was strictC. the girl is very thankful to her fatherD. the father gave up after knowing his daughter could not understand him43. Which is the following is not true according to the passage?A. The girl’s father is her first English teacher.B. The girl had been interested in English before going to school.C. The girl’s father was always ready to help her with her English.D. The girl could have learned English well by herself without her father.44. What would be the best title for the passage?A. How I Learned English at schoolB. My Father – my first and lifelong English teacherC. The relationship between my father and meD. I’ve made progress in English learningBA sign is another kind of language. Here are some of them that you see on the roads.Number one is a sign with the number thirty on it. When drivers see this sign, they must not go at more than thirty kilometers an hour. We see this sign when we are getting near a town. Number two is a sign that we’re near a crossing. We must drive carefully. Number three is a sign that there is a bend in the road. Again, we must drive slowly and carefully. It is not safe to go round a bend very fast. Number four is a sign that there is another road coming in from the right. There is a junction at this place. Number five is a sign that there is a hill and number six is a sign that the road gets narrow. Drivers must go slowly and carefully. Number seven has the word “SCHOOL” on it. This is a sign that there is a school at the side of the street or the road. Perhaps there are children going to or leaving school. So drivers must look carefully and go slowly. Number eight is a sign with the letter “P” on it. The letter “P” means “Parking”. At some places, there’re the signs “No parking” or “No waiting”. If a driver leaves his car near one of these signs,a policeman may come and write down the number of his car.45. At the places where you see Sign 1, ________.A. you are already out of a townB. you still have thirty kilometres to goC. there must be a town thirty kilometres awayD. there must be many houses and buildings not far away46. You have to drive not only slowly but also carefully when you find ________.A. each of the eight signsB. either of Signs 2 and 3C. all of Signs 3, 5, 6 and 7D. any of Signs 3, 5, 6 and 747. People put these signs on the roads to ________.A. show drivers the wayB. stop cars going too fastC. make driving even saferD. learn another kind of languageCBe careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn’t see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.Rico is thought to be smarter than average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed(品种) known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.It’s hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can’t talk back. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!48. From paragraph 2 we know that ________.A.animals are as clever as human beingsB.dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesC.chimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsD.dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children49. Both experiments show that _________.A.Rico is smart enough to get all commands rightB.Rico can recognize different things including toysC.Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsD.Rico w on’t forget the names of objects once recognizing them50. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie’s mental abilities.B.Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.C.The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.D.Rico is born to understand its owner’s commands.杭二中2014保送生素质测试英语答卷页请用铅笔把所选答案涂黑I.(1-20) 20×11.
