The English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so.
When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred (神圣的). The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this way might be helpful for teaching children, it is far from accurate.
The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving (演变) thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed greatly over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a thousand years ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.
The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the word “err.” The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word “her.” Older dictionaries show this to be the primary or only pronunciation. However, in recent years, more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like “air.” Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.
Of course, many slang words (俚语) have been just short-lived fashions that have died out quickly. Others, though, have been adopted by main stream society and become respectable, as have many technical terms. So then remember, the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.
56. When we begin to learn English, we think ______.
A. it is interesting to pick up a new language
B. English rules are wrongly presented in fact
C. grammar and speiling rules are unchangeable
D. only adults have the ability to affect a language
57. The underlined word “accurate” in Paragraph 2 means ______ in every detail.
A. correct B. wrong C. different D. similar
58. From paragraph 3 we can know that ______.
A. we can change the English language
B. many languages are changing over years
C. English has changed little in the past 1,000 years
D. there were main changes in grammar and pronunciation
59. Why is the pronunciation of words changing
A. Because people choose the way to pronounce them.
B. Because those words are too difficult to pronounce.
C. Because the spellings of words change.
D. Because technology develops greatly in modern society.
60. Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A. Foreign words involved in English. B. Slang words reshape the English world.

【答案】56. C 57. A 58. B 59. A 60. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英语这一语言一直在变化，而在这个变化中，我们每个人都起着作用，无论从语法、拼写、发音或语言词汇的变化，而且我们并将继续这样做。
【56题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred(神圣的). The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable.(当我们第一次学习基本的语法和拼写时，也许是在小学，我们可能会有这样的印象，这些东西是神圣的。适用于这些事情的规则可能被描述为不变的和不可改变的)”可知，当我们开始学习英语时，我们认为语法和拼写规则是不可改变的。故选C。
【57题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前一句“The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable.”（适用于这些事情的规则可能被描述为不变的和不可改变的。）可知，语法和拼写的规则是不变的，不可改变的。划线词所在句“While this way might be helpful for teaching children, it is far from accurate.”（虽然这种方法可能有助于教育孩子，但它远远不够accurate。）可知，学习语法和拼写的规则的方法可能有助于教育孩子，但是远远不够。即这个方法在每个细节上并非是正确的。可推知，划线词此处的含义为“准确，正确”，故选A。
【58题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The English language, like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving(演变) thing. Like it or not, you are involved(参与) in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed greatly over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this.(英语和其他许多语言一样，是一种活的、成长的、不断进化的语言。不管你喜不喜欢，你都参与了这个变化。这些变化有多种形式。几个世纪以来，语法和拼写发生了巨大的变化，今天不同国家的拼写差异反映了这一点)”可知，许多语言多年来都在变化。故选B。
【59题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“In addition to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them.(除了这些差异之外，许多单词的发音多年来也因为你决定如何发音而发生了变化)”可知，人们选择的发音的方式不同导致了单词发音不同。故选A。
【60题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“The English language is changing, and you are responsible!(英语正在发生变化，你要负责)”以及下文内容可知，英语正在发生改变，你也有责任！结合文章主要说明了英语正在发生改变，且每个人都参与其中。指出英语和其他许多语言一样，是一种活的、成长的、不断进化的语言。不管你喜不喜欢，你都参与了这个变化。同时分析了英语发生变化的原因。由此可知，C选项“英语语言是可改变的”最符合文章标题。故选C。
C
Prior’s Court is a school in Berkshire, southern England. The school is for children with autism(自闭症）. It cares for around 95 children with more severe signs of autism. Some cannot speak or communicate their needs.
The school is now finding a new use for virtual reality, or VR headsets. Virtual reality is a technology that lets you step inside a computer-created 3D world. You can explore and sometimes even manipulate(操纵) objects in that world. People with autism may find it hard to deal with places and situations they have not experienced before. VR headsets make the wearer feel they are in a different place. For example, someone wearing a VR headset can have a 360-degree view of a place as they turn around. With video, they can even hear the sounds of the place. Teachers at Prior’s Court decide to use VR to introduce children to situations like visiting a shopping mall, getting on a plane or skiing.
Nuno Guerreiro is a computing teacher at Prior’s Court School. He said, “Our children have difficulties with sensory（感觉的）issues so they dread going to very busy places. They like what they are familiar with; they like their routine. ” The school officials hope the VR experiences will help children feel better about changes from their routine.
Susan Green is the mother of an eight-year-old boy with autism under the care of Prior’s Court. She said，“My son spends most of his time indoors. But I do want him to know more about the world and experience new places. I hope this product will bring something different to his life.”
Susan Green isn’t alone. Many parents of children at Prior’s Court think that way.
61. What is the feature of’ Court
A. It mainly accepts autistic children.
B. It helps develop children’s intelligence.
C. It mainly treats children with physical disabilities.
D. It aims at improving children’s communication skills.
62. The VR headsets are applied to help students________.
A. raise their interest in technology.
B. share their experience with others.
C. experience new situations.
D. perform better at school.
63. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 mean
A. consider B. Practice C. Continue D. Fear
64. What do the last paragraphs imply
A. VR headsets are of little use to autistic children.
B. VR headsets will become popular among schools.
C. Many students are eager to travel around the world.
D. Many parents of the autistic students welcome the VR headsets.
65. In which column of a magazine can you read the text

【分析】这是一篇说明文。英国的一所学校，为了让其自闭症学生更好地接触新环境而引进了一种虚拟现实头盔，这种头盔有利于对自闭症学生的教育且非常受学生家长的欢迎。
【61题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The school is for children with autism(自闭症）It cares for around 95 children with more severe signs of autism.（这所学校是为自闭症儿童开设的。它照顾的是大约95名自闭症症状更严重的儿童。）”可知，Court这所学校的特色是：它主要接收患自闭症的儿童。故选A项。
【62题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“People with autism may find it hard to deal with places and situations they have not experienced before. VR headsets make the wearer feel they are in a different place.（患有自闭症的人可能会发现很难处理他们以前没有经历过的地方和情况。虚拟现实头盔让佩戴者有置身于不同地方的感觉。）”可知，虚拟现实头盔可以让学生们去体验以前没经历过的新情境。故选C项。
【63题详解】
词义猜测题。A. consider考虑，认为；B. practice实践；C. continue 继续；D. fear害怕。根据划线词之后句子“They like what they are familiar with; they like their routine.（他们喜欢他们熟悉的东西;他们喜欢他们的习惯性日程。）”可知，自闭症儿童不喜欢改变，不喜欢不熟悉的东西。而“going to very busy places（去很繁忙的地方）”显然不属于他们所熟悉的地方，由此可推断他们对于这种行为是害怕和恐惧的，故选D项。
【64题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“My son spends most of his time indoors. But I do want him to know more about the world and experience new places. I hope this product will bring something different to his life.（我儿子大部分时间都呆在家里。但我确实想让他更多地了解这个世界，体验新的地方。我希望这个产品能给他的生活带来一些不同的东西。）”可知，对于自闭症儿童来说，虚拟现实头盔是非常有用的，自闭症儿童的父母也希望自己的孩子能在家里通过这种头盔来了解不一样的世界，由此可推断，作为父母，他们是非常欢迎这种头盔的。故选D项。
【65题详解】
推理判断题。英国的一所称为“Court”的学校，为了让其自闭症学生更好地接触新环境和新世界，引进了一种虚拟现实头盔，这种头盔有利于对自闭症学生的教育且非常受学生家长的欢迎。因此可推断，这篇文章会出现在杂志的教育专栏。故选B项。
D
Have you ever dreamt of being among the people talked about on a celebrity blog Well 140 junior high and high school students from Edmonton, Alberta don’t have to dream any longer. An inter-school project they worked on was so successful that Perez Hilton blogged about it, which is surprising since his blog is usually for celebrities. They did a flash mob (快闪) in a shopping center with the main message being “stand up to bullying”.
Over 140 students, aged from 12 to 17, participated in the anti-bullying flash mob, dancing to a well-known song called “Loser Like Me” “We actually had almost too many; we had to cut back on the number at each school,” said Kristina Solikowski, one organizer of the event.
“I was just really excited!” said Olivia Brassard, a grade seven student at RS Fowler School. Being one of the younger student dancers, Olivia couldn’t get over her nerves at the start. “I was a little shy because I had to interact with a lot of grade eights and nines, but after, I got more comfortable,” said Olivia.
The reason why Olivia got involved was partly for the fun of dancing but also because she really believed in the message that bullies are bad! “I thought it would be a good way to spread the word about the bullying that goes on in our society,” said Olivia.
Olivia’s friend Allison Wood, a grade eight student at St. Albert Catholic High School, got involved for the same reason as Olivia. “I don t think it’s going to be possible to stop bullying all together, but I think we can certainly decrease it,” explains Allison.
These students have set a good example for kids everywhere. There’s no better way to decrease something bad than by getting people together to do something good, right
66. Why did Perez Hilton blog about the flash mob in Edmonton
A. The event achieved great success.
B. He has a deep interest in flash mobs.
C. There were many famous people taking part.
D. He wanted to realize the students’ dream of becoming famous.
67. What did the students do at the flash mob
A. They sang the song “Loser Like Me”.
B. They shouted out “stand up to bullying”.
C. They danced to the song “Loser Like Me”.
D. They gave out posters saying “stand up to bullying”.
68. How did Olivia feel at the beginning of the flash mob
A. Comfortable. B. Helpless. C. Nervous. D. Excited.
69. What does the underlined part “got involved” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Agreed with. B. Took part. C. Liked. D. Developed.
70. What is the main purpose of this text
A. To report a flash mob. B. To introduce flash mobs.
C. To list the harm of bullying. D. To encourage readers to fight bullying.
【答案】66. A 67. C 68. C 69. B 70. A
【解析】

【67题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Over 140 students, aged from 12 to 17, participated in the anti-bullying flash mob, dancing to a well-known song called “Loser Like Me””（年龄在12-16岁的140多名学生参加了反霸凌的快闪活动，他们还伴着著名的歌曲“Loser Like Me”跳舞。）可知，学生们在活动上伴着著名的歌曲“Loser Like Me”跳舞。故选C。

阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。
Volunteering takes up our time, energy, and sometimes money. It can be hard work. It can find us doing and seeing new things, which can be challenging and even a little scary. So why does anyone even go there
On the one hand, volunteering is good for others. The world is not a perfect place, and many people, animals, places, and communities need help. Governments and professionals try to meet everyone’s needs, but it’s impossible for them to do it all. This is why people become volunteers: they can make a difference where someone or something needs help. If people never help each other and only care about themselves, the world becomes a crueler, sadder place. But when we volunteer our time, money or talents, we help to make our planet a better, happier home where people cooperate to make life easier for all.
Actually, volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things. They can bring food to hungry people; they can find homes or clothes for those who need them; they can protect wildlife and natural areas; they can bring comfort and happiness to lonely people; and they can help people learn to read or do better in school.
On the other hand, volunteering is good for you. Are you thinking, “What’s in it for me ” The answer is, plenty! Here are some of the things you might get in return for your giving. You may make new friends; you may gain important skills and experience that will help you later in life; you may make connections that can lead to a job or career; you may have fun. And most importantly, you may feel like you are part of a community!
Hey…it looks like being a volunteer gives as much good stuff to you as it does to the people, places, or animals you’re trying to help! That’s the secret of volunteering. People who become volunteers usually lead richer, happier, and more satisfying lives than those who don’t volunteer.
71. Why do some people want to be volunteers according to Paragraph2 (no more than10 words)
72. What’s the 3rd paragraph mainly about (no more than 10 words)
73. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “cooperate” in paragraph 2 (no more than 5 words)
74. What will a volunteer’s life be like compared with those who don’t volunteer (no more than 10 words)
75. What do you think of volunteering (no more than 20 words)
【答案】71. To make a difference where someone or something needs help.
72. Volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things / Things people can do as volunteers.
73. Work together.
74. Richer, happier, and more satisfying./ It will be richer, happier, and more satisfying.
75. I think it’s good. Being volunteers, we can get a lot in return for our giving.
【解析】
【分析】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了成为志愿者和参与志愿组织的好处。
【详解】1.考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“This is why people become volunteers: they can make a difference where someone or something needs help.（这就是为什么人们成为志愿者：当某人或某事需要帮助时，他们可以发挥作用。）”可知，人们想要成为志愿者是希望自己能在某人或某物需要帮助时发挥作用。故答案为To make a difference where someone or something needs help.
2.考查主旨大意。根据文章第三段“Actually, volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things.（事实上，志愿者和志愿者组织可以做很多事情。）”可知，第三段描述志愿者和志愿组织能做许多事情，并描述了对应的事情。故答案为Volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things / Things people can do as volunteers.
3.考查词义猜测。根据文章第二段“If people never help each other and only care about themselves, the world becomes a crueler, sadder place. But when we volunteer our time, money or talents, we help to make our planet a better, happier home（如果人们从不互相帮助，只关心自己，这个世界就会变得更加残酷，更加悲伤。但当我们自愿奉献我们的时间、金钱或才华时，我们帮助我们的地球成为一个更美好、更幸福的家园）”可知，cooperate与only care about themselves意思相反，此处表示与他人一起“协作、合作”。故答案为Work together.
4.考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段“People who become volunteers usually lead richer, happier, and more satisfying lives than those who don’t volunteer.（那些成为志愿者的人通常比那些不做志愿者的人过着更富有、更快乐、更满意的生活。）”可知，与不进行志愿活动的人相比，志愿者的生活会变得更富有、更快乐、更令人满意。故答案为Richer, happier, and more satisfying./ It will be richer, happier, and more satisfying.
5.考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段“Hey…it looks like being a volunteer gives as much good stuff to you as it does to the people, places, or animals you’re trying to help!（ 嘿... 看起来志愿者给你的好东西，和给你想帮助的人，地方，动物的一样多 ）”并结合全文大意可知，本文描写了做志愿活动的好处，因此，可以先说明志愿活动是有好处的，并说明原因，如，作为志愿者，我们可以从付出中得到很多回报。故答案为I think it’s good. Being volunteers, we can get a lot in return for our giving.

The English language is changing, and you are responsible! Whether we consider changes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, or the very vocabulary of the language, you have played your part and continue to do so.
When we first learned basic grammar and spelling, perhaps in elementary school, we might have gotten the impression that these things were sacred (神圣的). The rules that apply to such things might have been presented as unchanging and unchangeable. While this way might be helpful for teaching children, it is far from accurate.
The English language like many others, is a living, growing, ever-evolving (演变) thing. Like it or not, you are involved in this change. These changes take many forms. Grammar and spelling have changed greatly over the years and centuries, with the spelling differences in different countries today a reflection of this. While the language of a thousand years ago might be called English, most of us would hardly recognize it today as the same language.
The first involves changes in the pronunciation of words. Many are familiar with the differences between the British and American ways of pronouncing certain words. In addition to these differences, the pronunciation of many words has changed over the years because of how you have decided to pronounce them. For example, consider the word “err.” The traditional pronunciation of this word rhymes with the word “her.” Older dictionaries show this to be the primary or only pronunciation. However, in recent years, more and more people have been pronouncing it so that it sounds like “air.” Another change in the language involves the addition and removal of words. The makers of dictionaries decide which words deserve to be officially adopted as part of the English language. Through the centuries, many words have come from other languages. In fact, English has probably done this more than any other language in the world, which is why spelling and pronunciation rules for English have so many exceptions.
Of course, many slang words (俚语) have been just short-lived fashions that have died out quickly. Others, though, have been adopted by main stream society and become respectable, as have many technical terms. So then remember, the next time you repeat the newest expression to hit the street, or make up your own words, you may be contributing to the future of the English language.
56. When we begin to learn English, we think ______.
A. it is interesting to pick up a new language
B. English rules are wrongly presented in fact
C. grammar and speiling rules are unchangeable
D. only adults have the ability to affect a language
57. The underlined word “accurate” in Paragraph 2 means ______ in every detail.

A. we can change the English language
B. many languages are changing over years
C. English has changed little in the past 1,000 years
D there were main changes in grammar and pronunciation
59. Why is the pronunciation of words changing
A. Because people choose the way to pronounce them.
B. Because those words are too difficult to pronounce.
C. Because the spellings of words change.
D. Because technology develops greatly in modern society.

A. Foreign words involved in English. B. Slang words reshape the English world.

Prior’s Court is a school in Berkshire, southern England. The school is for children with autism(自闭症）. It cares for around 95 children with more severe signs of autism. Some cannot speak or communicate their needs.
The school is now finding a new use for virtual reality, or VR headsets. Virtual reality is a technology that lets you step inside a computer-created 3D world. You can explore and sometimes even manipulate(操纵) objects in that world. People with autism may find it hard to deal with places and situations they have not experienced before. VR headsets make the wearer feel they are in a different place. For example, someone wearing a VR headset can have a 360-degree view of a place as they turn around. With video, they can even hear the sounds of the place. Teachers at Prior’s Court decide to use VR to introduce children to situations like visiting a shopping mall, getting on a plane or skiing.
Nuno Guerreiro is a computing teacher at Prior’s Court School. He said, “Our children have difficulties with sensory（感觉的）issues so they dread going to very busy places. They like what they are familiar with; they like their routine. ” The school officials hope the VR experiences will help children feel better about changes from their routine.
Susan Green is the mother of an eight-year-old boy with autism under the care of Prior’s Court. She said，“My son spends most of his time indoors. But I do want him to know more about the world and experience new places. I hope this product will bring something different to his life.”
Susan Green isn’t alone. Many parents of children at Prior’s Court think that way.
61. What is the feature of’ Court
A. It mainly accepts autistic children.

C. It mainly treats children with physical disabilities.
D. It aims at improving children’s communication skills.
62. The VR headsets are applied to help students________.
A. raise their interest in technology.
B. share their experience with others.
C. experience new situations.
D. perform better at school.
63. What does the underlined word in paragraph 3 mean
A. consider B. Practice C. Continue D. Fear
64. What do the last paragraphs imply
A. VR headsets are of little use to autistic children.
B. VR headsets will become popular among schools.
C. Many students are eager to travel around the world.
D. Many parents of the autistic students welcome the VR headsets.
65. In which column of a magazine can you read the text

Have you ever dreamt of being among the people talked about on a celebrity blog Well 140 junior high and high school students from Edmonton, Alberta don’t have to dream any longer. An inter-school project they worked on was so successful that Perez Hilton blogged about it, which is surprising since his blog is usually for celebrities. They did a flash mob (快闪) in a shopping center with the main message being “stand up to bullying”.
Over 140 students, aged from 12 to 17, participated in the anti-bullying flash mob, dancing to a well-known song called “Loser Like Me” “We actually had almost too many; we had to cut back on the number at each school,” said Kristina Solikowski, one organizer of the event.
“I was just really excited!” said Olivia Brassard, a grade seven student at RS Fowler School. Being one of the younger student dancers, Olivia couldn’t get over her nerves at the start. “I was a little shy because I had to interact with a lot of grade eights and nines, but after, I got more comfortable,” said Olivia.
The reason why Olivia got involved was partly for the fun of dancing but also because she really believed in the message that bullies are bad! “I thought it would be a good way to spread the word about the bullying that goes on in our society,” said Olivia.
Olivia’s friend Allison Wood, a grade eight student at St. Albert Catholic High School, got involved for the same reason as Olivia. “I don t think it’s going to be possible to stop bullying all together, but I think we can certainly decrease it,” explains Allison.
These students have set a good example for kids everywhere. There’s no better way to decrease something bad than by getting people together to do something good, right

C. They danced to the song “Loser Like Me”.
D. They gave out posters saying “stand up to bullying”.
68. How did Olivia feel at the beginning of the flash mob
A. Comfortable. B. Helpless. C. Nervous. D. Excited.
69. What does the underlined part “got involved” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Agreed with. B. Took part. C. Liked. D. Developed.
70. What is the main purpose of this text

阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。
Volunteering takes up our time, energy, and sometimes money. It can be hard work. It can find us doing and seeing new things, which can be challenging and even a little scary. So why does anyone even go there
On the one hand, volunteering is good for others. The world is not a perfect place, and many people, animals, places, and communities need help. Governments and professionals try to meet everyone’s needs, but it’s impossible for them to do it all. This is why people become volunteers: they can make a difference where someone or something needs help. If people never help each other and only care about themselves, the world becomes a crueler, sadder place. But when we volunteer our time, money or talents, we help to make our planet a better, happier home where people cooperate to make life easier for all.
Actually, volunteers and volunteer groups can do many things. They can bring food to hungry people; they can find homes or clothes for those who need them; they can protect wildlife and natural areas; they can bring comfort and happiness to lonely people; and they can help people learn to read or do better in school.
On the other hand, volunteering is good for you. Are you thinking, “What’s in it for me ” The answer is, plenty! Here are some of the things you might get in return for your giving. You may make new friends; you may gain important skills and experience that will help you later in life; you may make connections that can lead to a job or career; you may have fun. And most importantly, you may feel like you are part of a community!
Hey…it looks like being a volunteer gives as much good stuff to you as it does to the people, places, or animals you’re trying to help! That’s the secret of volunteering. People who become volunteers usually lead richer, happier, and more satisfying lives than those who don’t volunteer.
71. Why do some people want to be volunteers according to Paragraph2 (no more than10 words)
72. What’s the 3rd paragraph mainly about (no more than 10 words)
