26、   Although the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand have English as an official language, the United States does not have an official language. This is how it’s possible to become a US citizen without speaking English. Canada also has French as an official language, though it is mostly spoken in the province of Quebec. Because many of the English speakers who originally inhabited (居住) Canada came from the US, there is little difference in the American and Canadian dialects of English. Similarly, Australian and New Zealand English have few differences, except Australia was originally settled as a penal colony (流放地) and New Zealand was not.

British colonialism has spread English all over the world, and it still holds prestige (影响力) in South Africa, India, and Singapore, among other nations. In South Africa, English became an official language, along with Afrikaans and 9 African languages, in the 1996 constitution (宪法). However, only 3% of the country’s 30 million people are native English speakers. Twenty percent are descendants (后代) of Dutch farmers who speak Afrikaans, and the rest are native Africans.

India became independent from Britain in 1947, and the English language was supposed to be phased out (淘汰) by 1965. However, today English and Hindi are the official languages. Indian English is characterized (具有…的特征) by treating mass nouns as count nouns, frequent use of the “isn’t it?” tag, use of more compounds, and a different use of prepositions. In Singapore, Chinese, Malay and Indian languages have an effect on the form of English spoken. Everyone is taught English in the school system, but there are a few differences from British English as well. Mass nouns are treated as count nouns, “use to” means usually, and no articles (冠词) are used before occupations (职业).

【1】Why can people become a US citizen without speaking English?

A.Different languages are spoken in the US.

B.The US doesn’t have an official language.

A.It has 11 different official languages.

B.English is its only official language.

C.20 percent of its people are native English speakers.

D.English is becoming less important there.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

C.People in Singapore tend to misuse count nouns.

D.English is a required subject in Singaporean schools.

27、   Children grow quickly, especially their feet. But many families cannot afford new shoes each time a child needs them. As a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot（赤脚的）. Those children risk picking up diseases from the soil. An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kids—a shoe that grows with the child.

Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows. He explains how the shoe works and how it’s able to last so long. “It grows in three places; the front, on the side, and on the back. It can last up to five years. The bottom is like tire rubber. The top is just high-quality leather.”

The shoe comes in two sizes: small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14.

Lee got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in Kenya. However, it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality. Finally, in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. In the office, he kept a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise.

Because International works with several partner organizations. Together, they’re sent more than 50,000 pairs of shoes to 70 countries. Most are going to East Africa. And then also a lot of shoes go to Haiti, some of the Central American countries as well. Many of these areas do not have good sanitation（卫生设备）, and illness spreads easily.

A pair of shoes, he says, gives more than protection. It gives a child self-worth and more chances to succeed. Because it’s a small thing that really makes a big difference to keen them healthy and happy and having more chances to succeed. Kenton Lee adds that his goal is to help get The Shoe That Grows to as many children as he can around the world.

【1】Why are so many children around the world barefoot?

A.They grow so quickly that their families can’t buy proper shoes.

B.Their families are too poor to buy them enough new shoes.

A.the shoes are designed for adults.

【3】Kenton Lee kept a pair of his own shoes in the office to ________.

A.get himself to stick to his promise

B.let others know how hard he worked

C.encourage others to invent the shoes

D.make himself change shoes easily

【4】According to Kenton Lee, ________.

A.it’s not necessary to improve sanitation in East Africa

B.Central America is the poorest place in the world

C.a small thing can really make a big difference

D.the shoes can make children succeed easily

28、Cycling on Ireland’s West Coast

Don’t worry if you’re not a sporty kind. Our cycling trip is relaxing and easy. The leader drives a car which carries your bags and provides support if needed. But remember you should ride with group members. The group size is usually 9-12.

DAY 1 — The Cliffs of Moher (莫赫悬崖)

Cycling a relaxed 32 km on our first day, we visit Ennistymon, a fine example of an Irish country town with many coloured shop fronts and traditional stone buildings. Then we continue to the seaside towns of Lahinch and Liscannor before we climb to the top of the Cliffs of Moher. These are some of the highest sea cliffs in Europe. The day ends in Doolin, where three pubs (酒吧) play the best Irish music!

DAY 2 — The Burren National Park

Covering 48 km on our second day, the highlight (最精彩的部分) is a wonderful coastal ride with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the hills of the Burren on the other. On our way we stop at the lovely beach at Fanore. The day ends at Ballyvaughan, a pretty village on the coast, from where we plan to visit the Ceile in Kilfenora — the home of Irish dancing.

29、What comes to mind when you think of the word “museum”? Do you picture paintings hanging on a wall? Quiet halls full of relics from the past? Or do you think of airplanes suspended from the ceiling? Perhaps science experiments come to mind.【1】

There are many different types of museums around the world. Each one might display certain types of exhibits based on subject matter.

【2】 One of the most famous is the Louvre in Paris, France. It’s the home of the Mona Lisa. Paintings are not the only forms of art that museums put on display. They usually contain all sorts of art, from sculptures to fabric art. Many cities now have children's museums. What do they display there? 【3】These give kids a chance to explore their imaginations by interacting with exhibits on a personal level. Science and space museums can take children on a trip all around and even beyond earth. Do you wonder about the world around you or what's “out there”?【4】 And there are good old-fashioned history museums. It can be so great to see the original documents and artifacts that shaped history!

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.

Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.

However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.

“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.

Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
