21、What is language for ? Some people seem to think it’s for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words — the longer the lists , the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules , but they can’t speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules , too. Bernard Shaw once wrote ,“ Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule , it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history , they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can’t make another people’s language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar , but they shouldn’t overdo (做过头) it. They should put communication first.

【1】According to the passage , language is used to _____.

A．express oneself

B．practise grammar rules

C．talk with foreigners only

D．learn lists of words

【2】Generally, when an American or an Englishman speak English , he or she____.

A．never makes mistakes

B．often makes mistakes

C．can’t avoid making mistakes

D．always makes mistakes

【3】The underlined sentence “ Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” means that ____.

A．foreigners speak correct English

B．foreigners speak incorrect English

C．foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English

D．foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules

【4】If too many native speakers break a rule ,______.

A．they are against the law

B．what they use will become right

C．they should say sorry to others

D．they will become heroes

22、   Every child has a different personality, and those personalities need to be nurtured (培育) in a positive way. Here we have a list of extracurricular activities for kids and what your child can learn from them to help you make your decision.

1. Music

Some children learn to play instruments, while others prefer to sing. There are so many instruments to choose from that you are bound to find something that fits your child and that he or she will enjoy.

There is a certain freedom in music, and a lot of children find joy in it because of this reason. Not just that, children also tend to learn a lot about history and culture while learning something like playing a musical instrument or singing, especially if it is in the classical genre (类型).

2. Dance

Even among dance, there are so many types to choose from. He or she may prefer classical folk dances, or want to learn the more contemporary styles like hip hop or lyrical dance styles.

This is another activity that teaches children about culture if they prefer the more classical genres of dance. Dance is something that will help your child develop physically and mentally, as most forms of dance require discipline and endurance (忍耐力).

3. Sports

Sports such as football, basketball, cricket and softball require teamwork and a lot of energy, but if this type of sport doesn't sound like it suits your child, there are other options like tennis, badminton and golf that your child can try.

In sports like basketball and football, children learn how to work well in a team, how to strategies, and also build endurance. Every sport has something good to offer your child. whether they are played in teams or individually. Sports are great for competitive children.

4. Painting and Sketching

Perhaps your child is a blossoming artist. Playing with colours is a lot of fun and creating different works of art may be something your child would prefer over more violent activities.

Your child will improve his or her creative skills, as the more he or she is exposed to and works with creative things, the better the areas associated with creativity in his or her brain will be developed. Painting and drawing can also help develop problem-solving skills.

C.Parents. D.Coaches.

【2】What do children fond of music value most?

A.Freedom. B.History and culture.

23、Picture a typical MBA lecture theatre twenty years ago. In it the majority of students will have conformed to (符合)the standard model of the time: male, middle class and Western. Walk into a class today, however, and you'll get a completely different impression. For a start, you will now see plenty more women-the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, for example, boasts that 40% of its new enrolment is female, you will also see a wide range of ethnic groups and nationals of practically every country.

It might be tempting, therefore, to think that the old barriers have been broken down and equal opportunity achieved. But, increasingly, this apparent diversity(多样化) is becoming a mask for a new type of conformity. Behind the differences in sex, skin tones and mother tongues, there are common attitudes, expectations and ambitions which risk creating a set clones among the business leaders of the future.

Diversity, it seems, has not helped to deal with basic weaknesses in business leadership. So, what can be done to create more effective managers of the commercial world? According to Valerie Gauthier, associate dean at HEC Paris, the key lies in the process by which MBA programs recruit(招募) their students. At the moment candidates are selected on a fairly narrow set of standards such as previous academic and career performance, and analytical and problem solving abilities.   This is then coupled to a school's mixture of what a diverse class should look like, with the result that passport, ethnic origin and sex can all become influencing factors. But schools rarely dig down to find out what really makes an applicant succeed, to create a class which also contains diversity of attitude and approach-arguably the only diversity that, in a business context, really matters.

Professor Gauthier believes schools should not just be selecting candidates from traditional sectors such as banking, consultancy and industry. They should also be seeking individuals who have backgrounds in areas such as political science, the creative arts, history or philosophy, which will allow them to put business decisions into a wider context.

Indeed, there does seem to be a demand for the more rounded leaders such diversity might create. A study by Mannaz, a leadership development company, suggests that, while the bully-boy chief executive of old may not have been removed completely, there is a definite shift in emphasis towards less tough styles of management-at least in America and Europe. Perhaps most significant, according to Mannaz, is the increasing interest large companies have in more collaborative management models, such as those popular in Scandinavia, which seek to combine the hard and soft aspects of leadership and encourage delegated responsibility.

【1】What characterizes the business school student population of today?

A．Greater diversity

B．Intellectual maturity.

C．Exceptional diligence.

D．Higher ambition.

【2】What is the author's concern about current business school education?

A．It will arouse students' unrealistic expectation.

B．It will produce business leaders of a uniform style.

C．It focuses on theory rather than on practical skills.

D．It stresses competition rather than cooperation.

【3】What aspect of diversity does Valerie Gauthier think is most important?

A．Age and educational background.

B．Social and professional experience.

C．Attitude and approach to business.

D．Ethnic origin and gender.

【4】What applicants does the author think MBA programs should consider recruiting?

A．Applicants with prior experience in business companies.

B．Applicants with sound knowledge in math and statistics.

C．Applicants from outside the traditional sectors.

D．Applicants from less developed regions and areas.

【5】The underlined word in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to________

A．effective

B．traditional

C．decisive

D．joint

24、Fascinated with images from the Mars Rover? It turns out you don’t have to go to space. The following spots may look like they are on another planet, but they are right here on earth.

* Socotra Island, Indian Ocean

The largest of the four-island Socotra Archipelago, the island has about 250 species of plants that are not found anywhere else in the world. This includes the canopy-topped dragon’s blood tree, which has blood-red resin(树脂）that runs down if the trunk is cut deep. It can grow to 10 feet with a bulbous(球根的）trunk that swells with water absorbed in case of dry weather.

See it for yourself: There are regular flights from the Yemen capital of Sanaa on(Felix Airways) ($ 180 each way)

* Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona

This wilderness in Northern Arizona/southern Utah is home to some of the most striking landscapes in the American Southwest. The nearly 300,000-acre site is known for its abundance of colorful shale（页岩）and Navajo sandstone that has been eroded(侵蚀）by the elements to create cliffs that rise as high as 3,000 feet. In the northwest of the park is the Coyote Buttes, where you’ll find The Wave, a wall of red sandstone that twists and turns in a way that just doesn’t look natural ---but is.

See it for yourself: Permits are required to hike in Vermilion Cliffs. Paria Canyon and Buckskin Gulch permits are available at on-site pay stations or in advance ($5 per person).

*Perito Moreno Glacier, Argentina

The terminus(终点）of the glacier is Lago Argetino, where a 50-foot blue-hued ice wall rises from the lake. The Perito Moreno is also one of the only glaciers left on earth that is still growing.
