third year. 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 flashcards，fun english- language toys and even dolls which can sing english songs! my interest in english had certainly been awakened (唤起) 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 puzzled and even angry. i could not understand why a 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 idea. at first, i read stories with tears 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 thats why my father is not only my first english teacher but also my lifelong teacher. he is one who awoke my interest, and who gave me much confidence .46most pupils in china begin to learn english_.ain primary school bfrom parents cat three years old dat home47the underline part ”no other than my father” in the passage probably means_.alike my father bnot my father cmy father himself dnot only my father48from the whole passage we can see that_.athe girl preferred playing to learning englishbthe girl hates her father because he was strictcthe girl is very thankful to her fatherdthe father gave up after knowing his daughter could not understand49which of the following is not true according to the passage?athe girls father is her first english teacher.bthe girl had been interested in english before going to school.cthe girls father was always ready to help her with her english.dthe girl could have learned english well by herself without her father.50what would be the best title for the passage?ahow i learned english at school bmy father-my first and lifelong english teachercthe relationship between my father and me dive made progress in english learningb “i dont speak english”-these are the first words i learned when i came to america. soon i was able to pronounce the four words clearly, and said them whenever an american tried to talk to me. this answer was very effective（有效的）at ending our conversation and saving me from another uncomfortable situation, or i would have to communicate in a language that i was not familiar with.before coming to the states, i thought i knew english pretty well. but the truth is that the grammar and vocabulary-based english that is taught in schools overseas（海外的）is not the english people speak in america.but fear not! once you are in america, you can immediately begin to bridge the gap（弥补差距）between the learned english that you already know, and the spoken english that is all around you. to do this, first of all, it is important not to fear when you realize that you may not be as prepared for daily communication as you thought. for me, as soon as i stopped worrying about my accent and started speaking, i made rapid progress. often the people didnt notice my mistakes because they were so glad to finally be able to communicate with me.another good idea is to listen carefully and pay attention to the way in which ideas are expressed. for example, if you are working hard and you want to stop working and rest for a little while, you can either say “i would like to stop working and rest for a while” or “i want to take a quick break from work.” the first sentence, i quickly learned, sounds dry and too formal for any kind of communication, while the second is an idiom（成语）that is widely used in american english conversation.finally, use what you already know-the vocabulary, the grammar and the spelling. try to use these into the spoken language for more impressive and accurate（精确）speaking results.51what s the main idea of this passage?ayoud better say “i dont speak english” in the usa.bhow you can improve your spoken english in the usa.cidioms are widely used to express your ideas in the usa.dlistening is the best way to improve your spoken english in the usa.52at first the writer preferred to use the sentence “i dont speak english” to .aadmit he is a foreigner bsave much time for himselfcprevent himself from being laughed at davoid getting upset in communicating with others53whats the problem with the english taught outside the english-speaking countries?ait is quite different from what the natives speak. bit is taught in boring and wrong grammar.cit has nothing to do with english. dit has too small a vocabulary.54when did the writer make rapid progress in spoken english?aas soon as he paid attention to the way americans spoke.bthe minute he found what has been learned useless.cthe moment he got rid of the fear of speaking.dimmediately he arrived in the usa.55all the following are tip given buy the writer except “ .”aspeaking bravely blistening carefullycusing what you have learned dmaking few mistakescplaying basketball isnt ladylike. thats what jewell chapmans high school headmaster told her in 1961 when he was against the girls basketball program.“we were very discouraged, ” said chapman, a forward（前锋）for her high school team of des moines.nearly 50 years later, chapman is back on the playground. shes 62 and plays for “hot pink grannies” ,joining about 10 other women on a team whose uniforms are black trousers and hot pink socks. they play in the iowa granny basketball league.its one of dozens of basketball leagues for women over 50 that have arisen across the country. for some, its a chance to exercise and meet people; for others, its a once refused chance to make up.“you see more and more elderly womens teams taking part in state and national competitions,” said michael rogers, a professor in sports studies at wichita state university. “in the future it will be something common to have leagues like this.”yearly surveys by the national sporting goods association show the number of women aged 55 and older who play basketball at least 50 times a year has grown from 16,000 in 1995 to nearly 131,000 ten years later.the women on the hot pink grannies are good natured but competitive when game time comes.“i think im tough” says colleen pulliam, 69, showing off her strong arms at her challengers in a game against “strutters”, know for their bright yellow socks.granny basketball leagues and similar groups spread quickly through much of the country, including california, louisiana, new mexico, pennsylvania and washington, d.c.56which is right about chapman?ashe thinks playing basketball isnt ladylike. bshe is now 62 years old and feels discouraged.cshe plays basketball again about 50 years later. dshe is a forward in the hot pink grannies.57the underlined sentence “its a once refused chance to make up” in the fourth paragraph means .ait is chance to realize their old dream bit is chance to take part in sportscit is chance to earn a reputation dit is chance to compete for medals58who is probably a player of “hot oink grannies”?ades moines.bcolleen pulliam.cmichael rogers.dstrutters.59which of the following statements is true?asome elderly women play basketball with the purpose of getting wealthy.bgranny basketball leagues have spread all over the usa.cthe women on the hot pink grannies are good natured and less competitive.dthe number of women aged 55 and older who play basketball has greatly increased.60from the passage we can infer .ain the 1960s, playing basketball wasnt considered as a girls sportbthe color of the socks is of great importance to granny playerscmore and more granny players are confident about getting higher scoresdjewell chapmans high school headmaster has already changed his attituded my house is made out of wood, glass and stone. it is also made out of software. if you come to visit, youll probably be surprised when you come in. someone will give you an electronic pin （个人身份号码）to wear. this pin tells the house who and where you are. the house uses this information to give you what you need. when its dark outside, the pin turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. music moves with you too. if the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. the music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. if you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings. of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. there is a home control console (控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you. the pin and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. if you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. if i give you my car keys, you can use my car. the car works for you because you have the keys. my house works for you because you wear the pin or hold the console. i believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that ive put in my house. the systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones ive put in today. i like to try new ideas. i know that some of my ideas will work better than others. but i hope that one day i will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “how will i live without them?”61. what does the passage mainly discuss? a. how to develop a new system. b. the function of the pin. c. a home for the future. d. easy life in the future.62. whats the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph? a. to let readers know why his ideas are new. b. to let readers know how special his house is. c. to explain the importance of the pin and the console. d. to explain more easily what the functions of the pin and the console are.63. the writers new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because _. a. it has been controlled by computers b. you can make a telephone call anywhere c. it has your favorite music following you d. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice 64. what is the writer most likely to be according to the passage? a. an it expert.b. a famous doctor. c. an idealist d. an experienced teacher.65. what cant be done in the writers new house? a. turns on the lights b. play music c. get a telephone call d. go swimmingeon april 1st, mike decided to fool(愚
