What are the British like when it comes to learning languages? According to a survey published by the European Commission, the British are【1】(office) the worst language learners in Europe —62 percent of them can’t speak any other language apart from【2】(they) own.

Learning a foreign language is not a popular option at school in Britain; children start studying a foreign language【3】 11 and many give up completely several years later. So why don’t young people continue with languages at school? A research suggests that students think it is more difficult to get good grades in languages than in other subjects, such as science or history. The government is now looking at different ways【4】(improve) language learning. One idea is to start much younger and introduce foreign languages from the age of five. 【5】 idea is to give school children more【6】 (choose) and expand the range of languages【7】(teach) to include Arabic, Mandarin and Urdu.

Mandarin Chinese is predicted to become the second most popular foreign language learned in UK schools. Brighton College headmaster Richard Cairns says, “One of my key tasks is to make sure pupils 【8】(equip) for the realities of the 21st century. One of those realities is【9】China has the fastest-growing economy in the world.” It may be an ambitious task to change the Brits’ attitude to 【10】(learn) languages but the government is determined to try.

【答案】

【1】 officially

【2】 their

【3】 at

【4】 to improve

【5】 Another

【6】 choices

【7】 taught

【8】 are equipped

【9】 that

【10】 learning

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，歐洲委員會的一項調(diào)查顯示英國人是歐洲最糟糕的語言學習者，很多英國人只會講英語。英國政府正著手解決這一問題，常識改變英國人對語言學習的態(tài)度。

【1】考查副詞。句意：根據(jù)歐洲委員會的一項調(diào)查，據(jù)公布英國人是歐洲最糟糕的語言學習者。句中副詞officially意為“據(jù)公布”，在句中做狀語修飾謂語部分。所以要填officially。

【2】考查形容詞性物主代詞。句意：百分之62的英國人除了會講他們的自己的語言之外不會講任何其他語言。句中形容詞性物主代詞their做定語修飾own。所以要填their。

【3】考查介詞。句意：在11歲的時候孩子們開始學習一門外語，很多人幾年以后就徹底放棄了。介詞at與具體年齡利用表示“在…歲時”，所以本句要填介詞at。

【4】考查不定式。句意：現(xiàn)在政府正在尋找不同的方法來改善語言學習。固定短語the way to do sth意為“做某事的方法”，其中不定式to do sth做定語修飾名詞the way，所以要填to improve。

【5】考查上下文串聯(lián)。句意：一個觀點是更早開始學習外語，從5歲起就介紹外語。另外一個觀點是給孩子們更多的選擇并拓寬被教授的語言的范圍。句中another與前句one idea形成呼應(yīng)。所以要填Another。

【6】考查名詞。句意：一個觀點是更早開始學習外語，從5歲起就介紹外語。另外一個觀點是給孩子們更多的選擇并拓寬被教授的語言的范圍。句中應(yīng)該使用名詞choices做動詞give的賓語，所以要填choices。

【7】考查分詞做定語。句意：一個觀點是更早開始學習外語，從5歲起就介紹外語。另外一個觀點是給孩子們更多的選擇并拓寬被教授的語言的范圍。名詞languages與動詞teach構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系，用過去分詞做的定語修飾它。所以要填過去分詞taught。

【8】考查固定短語。短語“be equipped with…”意為“配備有…，裝備有…”，該短語在句中充當謂語部分，名詞短語the realities of the 21st century做它的賓語。所以要填are equipped。

【9】考查表語從句。句意：這些現(xiàn)實之一就是中國用世界上發(fā)展最快的經(jīng)濟。句中that引導表語從句，在句中起連接作用并不充當任何成分，所以要填that。

【10】考查動名詞。句意：要改變一個人對待學習語言的態(tài)度也許是一個艱難的任務(wù)，但是政府決定要試一下。名詞attitude意為“態(tài)度”要和介詞to/towards連用，介詞to/towards后面要接名詞或動名詞做賓語，所以要填動名詞learning。

本文小題4考查了非謂語動詞中的不定式用法，若句中已有謂語動詞，又不是并列謂語時，所給動詞就是非謂語動詞。若是非謂語動詞就要確定用—ing形式、—ed形式，還是用不定式形式。（to do/ to be done)；確定方法如下：

V ing形式表主動，進行.或做主語；賓語

V ed形式表被動，完成

To do形式表主動，將來，

例句1：It is important for us __________(learn) English.

解析：句中有謂語動詞is, it是形式主語，后面用不定式作真正的主語。所以填to learn.

例句2：________(take) exercise is of great benefit to us.

解析：句中有謂語動詞is, 所以take應(yīng)為非謂語；分析句子成分，作主語，表示一般情況，要用動名詞。故填Taking.

例句3：________(catch) the first bus, he got up early.

解析：句中有謂語動詞got up, 所以catch 應(yīng)為非謂語動詞。根據(jù)句子成分分析，作狀語，表目的，故要用不定式而且主動的，To catch.

例句4：The teacher entered the classroom, ________( follow) by some students.

解析：句中已有謂語entered, 而follow又不是與之并列的，故為非謂語動詞；又因為the teacher 與follow 是被動關(guān)系，故用過去分詞作伴隨狀語,followed.

例句5：He saw the stone, _________(say) to himself, “The night will be dark”.

解析：句中已有謂語saw, 且沒有并列連詞構(gòu)成并列謂語，所以，所給動詞應(yīng)當是非謂語；又因He和say是主動關(guān)系，故填saying 作伴隨狀語。

例句6：Lessons _______(learn) in sports can help us in our dealing with other people.

解析：因句中已有謂語can help, 所以learn 應(yīng)為非謂語動詞；又因lesson與learn 是被動關(guān)系，要用過去分詞短語作后置定語，故填learned.

【題目】 At 23 I applied for full-time positions with no intention of working five days a week. As a housewife, I had two pre-school children then but wanted to work three days a week.

This was a huge deal for me. I needed to work, but also wanted to spend time with my children while they were young. I didn’t want to miss out on school drop-offs and pick-ups. But I also didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity of promotion.

Before the interviews, I prepared a plan of how I was going to make this work for me and the employer. I saw it as a two-way agreement — the business adapting to me and me adapting to the business.

Finally I became a member of EY at 33. EY was the only firm that seemed receptive to my plan; in fact, we spent time during that first interview talking about how we could make it work together. Most importantly, the person interviewing me worked flexibly too — four days a week.

I appreciated that I’m one of the lucky ones. Even 10 years on, flexible hiring and working remains the exception rather than the rule for most.

What will help shift views and behavior, in addition to organizations updating their hiring policies, is talking more openly about how most of us organize our day around our responsibilities. We all have a life outside of work and we shouldn’t be embarrassed to talk about it, even during a job interview.

It’s a change in the way of thinking, not just for employers but employees too. In the early days I was confident about my ability but I probably did have a preconception (先入之見) that working part-time would limit my career progression. What I quickly realized was that if I took responsibility for my development, I could make sure that I got the same opportunities as if I was working full-time. So I offered solutions to how we could make it work, and it made me stand out.

【1】Why did the author want a flexible job?

A.To balance her work and life.B.To have more time to relax.

C.To avoid too much stress in life.D.To stand out as a special woman.

【2】What perhaps made the author become a member of EY?

A.The time spent discussing her plan.

B.Her relationship with the interviewer.

C.Her great confidence in the interview.

D.The interviewer’s understanding her.

【3】What does the author advise to apply for a flexible job?

A.Trying to seize every opportunity one can get.

B.Persuading the company to change its hiring policies.

C.Being honest about one’s personal life outside of work.

D.Convincing the employer of one’s responsibility for the job.

【4】What can we infer about her job from the passage?

A.It weakened her ability.

B.It made her highly noticeable.

C.It limited her career promotion.

D.It caused her to earn less money.

【題目】How to Be a Good Listener to Your Family

Communication is important for strong family relationships. However, if you don't truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate. Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds.【1】

Stay in the present.

When listening to a family member, do not let your mind wander to other things. It's important to strive to stay in the present to make your family member feel heard and valued.

【2】Instead, focus only on what's being said. If you feel your mind wandering, return your thoughts to the speakers’ words.

【3】

When talking to someone, you often are focusing on what you're going to say next. This tendency can get more intense when talking to a family member. If you're, say, discussing a family problem or disagreement, you may be eager to share your thoughts. However, do not think about how you feel or wish to respond. Focus only on the speaker and their thoughts and opinions on the matter.

Show you're listening using non-verbal cues.

You want the speaker to feel valued. Make sure to show you're listening. You can convey you're paying attention via non-verbal cues. 【4】 Smiles and laugh when necessary, and keep eye contact.

Make sure the speaker has finished talking before you talk.

It's okay to accept a pause. A couple of seconds of silence in a conversation is not a bad thing, and allows the speaker a chance to fully express themselves. Instead of immediately launching into your response, pause for a moment after the speaker finishes talking.【5】

People have a natural tendency to pause when they speak. If you notice the speaker has paused, do not assume they've done talking. Give them a few seconds before you respond.

A.Focus on the speaker’s words and not what you'll say next.

B.Never think about other things when someone is talking.

C.You can think of how you will respond later.

D.Thus, it is necessary to make sure to listen actively and here are how.

E.This will allow you to make sure they’ve completely finished talking.

F.Therefore, the following will tell you how to be interactive with the speaker.

G.Nod as the speaker talks.
