（共10小题，每小题2.5 分，满分25 分）APeople often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many things to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally, so the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant in terms of learning a second language.A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese much easier tolearn than a native speaker of Chinese, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different, so first language can affect learning a second language. The greater the differences between a second language and our first language, the harder it will be for most people to learn a second language. Many people answer that Chinese is the hardest language to learn, possibly influenced by the thought of learning Chinese writing system, and the pronunciation of Chinese does appear to be very difficult for many foreign learners. However, for Japanese speakers, who already use Chinese characters in their own language, learning writing will be less difficult than for speakers of languages using the Roman alphabet.Some people seem to learn languages easily, while others find it very difficult. Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role, as well as each learner’s purpose for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it in work, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.No language is easy to learn well, though languages which are related to our first language are easier. Learning a pletely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another. In the end, it is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.21.What does the underlined word “relevant” in paragraph 1 mean?A.DifficultB. MeaningfulC. NecessaryD. Possible22.Why do many people think Chinese is hard to learn?A.Its writing system is strange.B.Its pronunciation is challengeable.C.Its characters are difficult to understand.D.It has great differences from many other languages.23.What can we learn from the text?A.People will learn a language faster if they use it daily.B.There are many languages that are the most difficult in the world.C.All the languages can be easy to learn with good teachers and circumstances.D.The writing system of a language is more difficult to master than itspronunciation.BPlays are an important part of British culture. The West End theatre district in London is the best place to watch a professional play, but acting also takes place in every school and village hall across the country.There are over 2,500 non-professional drama groups in the UK today and they are an active part of munity life. People from all walks of life take on acting roles in addition to their regular jobs. They do it for fun, for the love of acting and as a way to meet new people.Not everyone in a drama club is a skilled actor, but enthusiasm is considered to be more important than talent. Friends, family members and neighbours enjoy getting together to watch the final performance and telling the people they know to “break a leg（好运）”. It’s a great way of bringing munities together. Also, in many rural parts of Britain, non-professional theatre is the only chance people have to see plays for miles around.Many people get a taste for acting at school. Every school puts on a play at least once a year, usually at Christmas, and parents love ing to watch their children perform. Ask any British person and they’re sure to have happy memories of being in their school’s Christmas play, whether they played the role of Mary o r Joseph or perhaps even a sheep or a donkey.Another Christmas theatre tradition is the pantomime（童话剧）. Pantomimes are a type of musical edy for families. The audience is encouraged to participate in the performance—singing along with the music and shouting to the actors. Pantomimes are really fun to watch, especially for children.British people love going to the theatre, professional or not, and many of them also enjoy performing. If you have the chance, go and see a play in the UK.24.What matters most for an actor in a drama club, according to the article?A.Talent.B. Enthusiasm.C. Professional training.D. Support fromfamily.25.According to the article, what is special about pantomimes?A.All the performers are professional child actors.B.The audience is allowed to play some small roles in them.C.The audience is encouraged to interact with the actors.D.The musical edy is always about family life.26.According to the article, most British people .A.learn how to be a professional actor in schoolB.consider acting to be their regular jobsC.often participate in performance when in schoolD.watch plays in the West End theatre district in London27.What is the article mainly about?A.Reasons why British people love plays.B.The origin of theatre traditions in the UK.C.Rules for theatregoers to follow in the UK.D.The popularity of non-professional plays in the UK.CDogs and other hairy mammals（哺乳动物）shake at just the right frequencies to get rid of water most quickly from their bodies. Mice do it. So do tigers and pandas. These animals really know how to shake. Frequency is the number of cycles—movements back and forth—per second.Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta recently recorded videos of 40 different animals, standing for 15 different species（物种）. The scientists wanted to see how wet, hairy mammals shake off water after they get wet. The scientists said the animals shake at just the right frequencies to lose water drops as quickly as possible. “I think it’s pretty extraordinary that they can do that,” David Hu, one of the scientists, said.This study was led by Andrew Dickerson, a graduate student in Hu’s lab. His teamcalls this get-dry shake “natural washing machine”. Both the washing machine and shaking animals can get rid of water quickly—but animals are much faster than washing machines. For animals, this process helps them control heat in their bodies.“If a dog couldn’t dry itself, it would have to use 25 percent of its daily calories（卡路里）to heat its body to get rid of the water,” Hu said. “Every time they got wet they would get hypothermia（体温过低）and die.”The bigger the animal, the slower it shakes, according to Dickerson and his team.A mouse moves its body back and forth 27 times per second, but a bear shakes only four times per second.Animals’ skin also helps them get rid of water. The scientists are continuing to look at how animals interact with water in the natural world. In particular, the scientists want to know how water interacts with hair—which means studying animals that have got used to life in water, like beavers and otters.28.What can we learn from the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs?A.Professor David Hu led the study.B.Animals shake off water to keep themselves cool.C.Videos of 40 species of animals were recorded in the study.D.Dogs shake off water more quickly than washing machines.29.How did David Hu feel about the video?A.Surprised.B. Encouraged.C. Excited.D. Amused.30.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The recorded videos of forty different animals.B.The movement of animals in the water.C.The importance of water for animals.D.The frequency of animals’ shaking water.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
