The fact is that they aren't. Some statistics（数据）from 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 my 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 learning a foreign language is only an option at school. 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 marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history. To solve this situation, 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 try!（1）Which country does the writer come from？A America.B China.C Britain.D Egypt.（2）Which of the following about the British people is true?A They are good language learners.B 62% of them speak two or morelanguages. C They are famous for speaking foreign languages. D More than half of them only speak English.（3）According to the passage, students in Britain prefer to learn ______.A science or GermanB history or GermanC science or historyD German or French（4）In Paragraph 4, "an option" means ______.A a choiceB a gameC a mistakeD a conversation（5）What is the best title of the passage?A Speaking EnglishB Foreign Language Learning in UKC Schools in UKD Young English Learners18. I like watching TV very much, for I think it has many advantages．First of all, watching TV can give us a good rest．After a day's hard work, we need a good rest．Watching TV can make us relaxed because of the pleasant music and TV plays．Besides, watching TV is ________．There are many kinds of entertainment, such as sports activities（活动）, concerts, plays and films all over the world at every time．It's impossible for us to go to every place to enjoy all the activities within a short time．We need over ten hours to fly from New York to Paris, a week by train from Beijing to Moscow and one﹣hour drive from Queens District to Manhattan District．But within just one second, the TV can bring us from an NBA game in New York to a fashion show in Paris by changing channels． Most importantly, watching TV is educational（教育）．The children can learn different kinds of subjects through the educational programmes．It's easy for them to learn Chinese from a Chinese teacher in Beijing and to learn Russian from a Russian teacher inMoscow．They can learn how to behave well from the TV plays and a teacher can teach millions of students without a huge classroom．（1）According to the writer，the most important reason for watching TV is________．A we can enjoy ourselvesB watching TV can give us a good restC we can see whatever we likeD we can learn something useful．（2）The underlined word "entertaining" mean "________" in Chinese．A 有意思的B 无聊的C 娱乐的D 费时的．（3）In the third paragraph the writer wants to show________．A the TV station sends programmes quicklyB the TV brings programmes from different parts of the world for us quicklyC how to go to different places and enjoy ourselvesD how long it will take to drive to different places．（4）From the last paragraph we can infer the children can________ through TV programmes．A do their homework B learn a lot C enjoy many TV plays D know a new teacher from Moscow．（5）The best title for the passage is "________"．A The advantage of Watching TVB The TV Can Bring Us a Good RestC Today's TV ProgrammesD How to Use TV in Schools．19.

Although the two are "disabled", they are a powerful team together. They have changed part of their village in North China's Hebei Province into a rich, green forest.Their story began in 2000. Haixia was blind in his right eye. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident. Neither could find a job, so they decided to team up. They rented（租）some poor land and began to plant trees.Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would create an environmental paradise（天堂）. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. It also saves the village from river flooding（洪水泛滥）during the rainy season.When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their work place. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches（树枝）from trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and picks up the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and plants it carefully. Finally Wenqi waters the tree.The two men don't make much money but they are proud of themselves and they still work hard. As Wenqi says, "We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter." Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. As a team, they already have everything they need—a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!（1）Haixia and Wenqi decided to team up because ______.A Haixia wanted to help WenqiB neither could find a jobC they had the same interestD Wenqi asked Haixia to do that（2）During the rainy season, Haixia and Wenqi's forest ______.A makes the villagers become richerB increases the number of thetourists C saves the village from river flooding D provides more farmland for the village（3）In paragraph 5, when Wenqi says "We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter", he means that "______".A they hope to make the forest even betterB the fruits from their trees are verysweet C they are proud to depend on their own efforts D they are able to do any difficult work14.We are often told to pay attention to what our mothers tell us. Most of us enjoy listening toour mothers speak. Scientists have found that compared to other people's voices, our brains greatly prefer the voices of our own mothers.Scientists at Stanford University, US, recently studied this. They scanned（扫描）children's brains while they were listening to different sounds, including their mothers' voices. They found that 97 percent of the time, children could recognize their mothers' voices at once. Hearing their mothers' voices makes children's brains more active. We usually just use one part of our brain to deal with sounds when we hear something. But when we hear our mothers' voices, many parts of the brain, including those in charge of（负责）reward（奖赏）and feelings, start to work as well.Why do we respond（反应）so strongly to our mothers' voices? It starts even before we're born. When children are still in their mothers' bodies or have just been born, they hear their mothers talking. This makes babies feel comfortable and teaches them language and social skills, even though they are still very young. The babies learn to recognize their mothers' voices as a rewarding sound. Later, when this sound is heard again, more attention is paid to it.Some sounds are necessary for our life or bring us pleasure. These sounds are recognized by our brains as rewarding sounds. Most human voices are not recognized in this way, since we hear them so often. But mothers' voices are different. They bring us a lot of comfort.（1）What is the story mainly about?A Why we should listen carefully to our mothers.B How we recognize our mothers' voices.C Why we prefer to hear our mothers' voices.D How we respond to different kinds of sounds.（2）What will happen when children hear their mothers' voices?A Many parts of their brains become active.B Their language skills start toimprove.
