I stepped into the school gate with a nervous heart. However, I was surprised to find what I experienced there was completely different from what my brother had told me.

Through this process, I improved my leadership abilities and communication skills. I've become mature (成熟的). I am not a kid any more.

I talked about hard, tiring work that’s honorable work, adding that he made time for his son, even when he knew he couldn’t shower. It didn’t matter what he looked like.

Tsd (UK): The learning of any language can be valuable and useful, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn and the UK is said to be bad at learning foreign languages. Why should they learn Chinese when most people in the world speak English
Mark (US): I studied French for 2 years in high school and German for 4 years in college. I studied Mandarin informally for about 4 months before moving to China. Now I speak Mandarin every day as my wife doesn’t speak English. But it is far from being fluent. Learning additional languages is a great thing, which offers a different view on the world around us. Nowadays, it’s almost necessary to be able to speak more than just your mother tongue.
George (UK) : No, unless they’re taught from a very early stage of childhood. Mandarin is so difficult. If China really is going to lead the world, it’ll have to do so by speaking the world ‘s leading language— English.
12. What is probably Mark’s main purpose of learning Chinese
A. His frequent travel to China.
B. Further education in the future.

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段Now I speak Mandarin every day as my wife doesn’t speak English. Nowadays, it’s almost necessary to be able to speak more than just your mother tongue.（现在我每天说普通话，因为我妻子不会说英语。如今，除了母语之外，能够说更多的语言几乎是必要的。）” 可推知Mark 学汉语的动机是为了有效的交流。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段“The learning of any language can be valuable and useful, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn and the UK is said to be bad at learning foreign languages. Why should they learn Chinese when most people in the world speak English 任何语言的学习都可能是有价值和有用的，但它并不适合每个人。汉语是一种很难学的语言，而且据说英国不擅长学习外语。世界上大部分人都说英语，他们为什么要学中文？）”可知，D选项China is not as developed a country as the UK 未被提到，所以应except D, 故选D。

谚语互译：(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
64. 有志者，事竟成。(汉译英)
【答案】Where there is a will, there is a way.
【解析】
【详解】考查地点状语从句。根据句意可知，“有志者，事竟成”表示的是“在有意志力的地方，就会有道路”，因此使用where引导地点状语从句；表示“有”使用there be句型，即倒装句，“有意志力”为：there is a will，“有道路”为：there is a way。故“有志者，事竟成”翻译为：Where there is a will, there is a way.
65. 事实胜于雄辩。（汉译英）
【答案】Actions speak louder than words.
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构和比较级句式。所给出的汉语句子“事实胜于雄辩”为谚语，句子用一般现在时，在英语中实为“行动要比语言更重要”，因此句子结构为副词的比较级句式“A+谓语动词+副词比较级+than+B”。其中A为“行动”，用名词复数“actions”表达；“更重要”用动词短语“speak louder”表达，动词作谓语，用一般现在时，主语为复数，动词用原形；“语言”用名词复数“words”表达。故翻译为：Actions speak louder than words.
66. 患难见真情。(汉译英)
【答案】A friend in need is a friend indeed.
【解析】
【详解】考查英语谚语。“患难见真情。”是一句英语谚语，翻译为A friend in need is a friend indeed.
67. Confidence in yourself is the first step on the road to success.(英译汉)
【答案】自信是你走向成功的第一步。
【解析】
【详解】考查一般现在时和主谓一致。该句在描述一个客观事实，句子用一般现在时；句子为简单的主系表结构“confidence in yourself”的中文是“对自己的自信”，作主语；“the first step on the road to success”的中文是“走向成功的第一步”作表语。故答案为：自信是你走向成功的第一步。
68. Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it.(英译汉)
【答案】世上无难事只怕有心人。
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句和代词。分析句子可知，其主干结构为主系表：nothing is difficult，可译为“没有什么事是困难的”；in the world意为“世界上”，for one中代词one泛指“人们、一个人”；其后是关系代词who引导的定语从句，修饰one，在定语从句中作主语，短语set one’s mind to意为“决心做”，it则指代主句主语nothing。整句可直译为“对于一个下定决心的人，世界上没什么事是困难的”，恰好对应中国谚语“世上无难事，只怕有心人”。故译为：世上无难事只怕有心人。

“Your playful days are over,” my brother said to me when he knew I was going to be a Senior One student. Then he continued telling me that senior school life was boring because I had to do a large amount of homework every day. The subjects were much more difficult than those of junior school.
I stepped into the school gate with a nervous heart. However, I was surprised to find what I experienced there was completely different from what my brother had told me.
The teachers gave excellent lessons in their own special way. They talked with me in a natural and fair way, as if I was an adult. All of them are so knowledgeable (学识渊博) and they not only explained the contents of textbooks but also provided extra information from other sources. Every word they said in classes made me so excited and interested that I had a strong desire to take in as much as I could.
In fact, my playful days were not over at all in senior school. There were many kinds of activities I could take part in. For example, sports meetings, the art festival, English corner, outing and so on. Best of all, generally, students organized the activities rather than teachers. Through this process, I improved my leadership abilities and communication skills. I've become mature (成熟的). I am not a kid any more.
Now if anyone asks me: “Through your process of growing up, which part is most impressive up till now ” Well, the answer will absolutely be my “senior high school life”.

A photo of a Kentucky coal miner with his family at a college basketball game is going viral (疯狂传播). The photo shows Michael McGuire and his son sitting in the stands at the University of Kentucky Wildcats game on Saturday. McGuire is still wearing his work uniform and his face and arms are covered in black coal dust, which makes him different from others.
Kentucky’s head coach John Calipari put the picture online and expressed admiration for McGuire’s hard work and love for his son.
“My family’s American dream started in a Clarksburg, WV coal mine, so this picture hits home, ” Calipari wrote. “From what I’ve been told, after his shift, he raced to be with his son and watch our team. I don’t know who this is, but I have tickets for him and his family at Rupp to be treated as VIPs!”
McGuire had not yet been identified at that point, but Kentucky fans quickly found him and connected the coach with the family.
MeGuire’s wife, Mollie, replied on social media with a photo she had taken at the game. She wrote: “My amazing husband started his day at 4:45 am that morning and worked all day and then drove straight to the arena to meet us and enjoy the game with our son! We are truly blessed with such an amazing man! We love our coal miner. ”
McGuire told local station WKYT that he didn’t want to miss his son Easton’s first basketball experience. He said Easton had a good time.
Coach Calipari said he hopes McGuire will be a lesson for his players. “I talked to my guys about it. It’s just a great lesson, and I showed them the picture yesterday of Michael and his son. I talked about hard, tiring work that’s honorable work, adding that he made time for his son, even when he knew he couldn’t shower. It didn’t matter what he looked like. He just wanted to be with his son,” Calipari said.
8. What was special about McGuire while he was watching the basketball match
A. His love for his son. B. His dirty appearance.
C. His interest in basketball. D. The expression on his face.
9. What was the probable reason for the coach’s posting the picture
A He wanted to attract more worker fans.

With the Chinese language becoming popular, the UK government plans to invest(投资) 10 million pounds to help more kids learn Mandarin (普通话). Do you think it is necessary for the UK pupils to learn Mandarin Some people share their opinions online.
Tsd (UK): The learning of any language can be valuable and useful, but it is not suitable for everyone. Chinese is a difficult language to learn and the UK is said to be bad at learning foreign languages. Why should they learn Chinese when most people in the world speak English
Mark (US): I studied French for 2 years in high school and German for 4 years in college. I studied Mandarin informally for about 4 months before moving to China. Now I speak Mandarin every day as my wife doesn’t speak English. But it is far from being fluent. Learning additional languages is a great thing, which offers a different view on the world around us. Nowadays, it’s almost necessary to be able to speak more than just your mother tongue.
George (UK) : No, unless they’re taught from a very early stage of childhood. Mandarin is so difficult. If China really is going to lead the world, it’ll have to do so by speaking the world ‘s leading language— English.
12. What is probably Mark’s main purpose of learning Chinese
A. His frequent travel to China.
B. Further education in the future.

D. The official request of his company.
13. Tsd from UK disagrees to learn Chinese for some reasons except ________.
