When I first took skiing lessons, I found it exciting. For skiing racing, there’s no question that I’m better than most boys. I think it’s fun. I mean, it is a challenge. It’s where I picked up the idea of needing a challenge always in my life. In order to improve my skiing skills, I have read many books and magazines about it.

Almost from the time that the first Englishman set foot upon American soil, our language began to evolve(进化).It is a continuous process throughout the centuries and has produced a language that differs from our ancestors and shows a sign of our own features and independence.
By 1790, there were four million Americans, 90% of whom were descendants (后代) of English colonists(殖民者). This, of course, left no question that our official native language would be “English”, but it would not be the same as that spoken in Great Britain.
By 1720, the English colonists began to notice that their language was quite different from that spoken in their motherland. How did that come to be?
There are many reasons, the most obvious being the distance from England. Over the years, many words were borrowed from the Native Americans, as well as other people from France, Germany, Spain, and other countries. Other words that became unused in England continued to be used in the colonies. In other cases, words simply had to be created in order to explain the unfamiliar landscape, weather, animals, plants, and living conditions that these early pioneers went through.
To our newly independent Americans, they were proud of their “new” American language, wearing it, as yet, another symbol of independence. In 1789, Noah Webster wrote in his Dissertations on the English Language:
“The reasons for American English being different than British English are simple: As an independent nation, our honor requires us to have a system of our own, in language as well as government.”
The evolution of the American language continued into the 20th century, as well as the American pride.
24. Which of the following is NOT the reason that helps form American English?
A.New Americans failed to use the old words from England.
B.New words were borrowed from Native Americans.
C.New words were created through practices.
D. America is far away from England.
25. What can we infer from the passage?
A. The new language has settled its identity and stopped developing.
B. Early Americans just felt curious about their new language.
C. The new language helped Americans fight against enemies.
D.Early Americans felt proud of their new language.
26. What is the text mainly about?
A. How to learn American English.
B. The development of American English.
C. The frequent changes of English.
D. The differences between American English and British English.
C
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) isn’t supported by most Westerners. However, this is starting to change.
TCM will be included in the new version (版本) of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), which will be published by the World Health Organization in 2019, Nature magazine reported.This is the first time for TCM to be included in the ICD, which serves as “the international standard for diseases and health conditions,” according to China Daily.
Ryan Abbott at the Center for East-West Medicine at the University of California,LosAngeles, US, said this could benefit TCM.The inclusion of TCM in the ICD “is a mainstream (主流) acceptance that will have significant influence around the world”, Abbott told Nature.
TCM has seen some growth in other countries, with a number of famous people being known to use it. For example, during the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, US swimmer Michael Phelps was seen with circular bruises (淤伤) on his body. Such bruises are caused by cupping (拔火罐), a traditional Chinese medicinal practice that has been around for more than 2,000 years.
In 2015, Chinese scientist TuYouyou was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her discovery of artemisinin (青嵩素), a drug that can cure malaria (疟疾). She said she was inspired by TCM.China has made some efforts to promote (推广) TCM overseas. Twenty-six TCM centers were set up overseas over three years, according to a 2017 report published by Xinhua News Agency.
TCM still faces many challenges, such as a lack of clinical (临床的) evidence as tohow it works precisely , according to China Daily. “Not matched to several Western testing standards, TCM’s effectiveness has been difficult to study or provide evidence for”, according to CNN.
Some say that TCM should be combined with modern scientific methods to make it more acceptable to people outside of China.
“Tried and tested over thousands of years, the effectiveness of TCM is clear”, Lu Chuanjian, vice-president of the Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, told China Daily.“Now we need to use modern technology and ways of thinking to explain to the world how TCM works on specific diseases and to prove that it can cure diseases,” Lu added.
27. What does the underlined word “this”inParagraph 3 refer to?
A.TCM’S inclusion in the ICD
B.Westerners’ positive view of TCM
C.The global health trend
D.The application of modern technology.
28. Why did the author mention Phelps?
A. To prove the effectiveness of TCM.
B. To explain what TCM can be used for.
C.To show that cupping is the most acceptableform of TCM.
D. To show that TCM is gaining popularity insome countries.
29. What does Lu suggest to make TCM moreacceptable overseas?
A. Providing more TCM classes overseas.
B.Setting up TCM hospitals outside of China.
C. Combining TCM with modern technology.
D. Inviting famous people in other countries totry it.
30. What do we know about TCM from the article?
A. TCM has inspired many Nobel Prize Winners.
B. It is not widely accepted in Western countries.
C. Chinese scientists have found many ways toprove that TCM works.
D. Hundreds of TCM centers have openedoverseas in recent years.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Courtesy in English
Courtesy (礼貌) is an art form that shows our moral character. China's history is one of a civilization (文明) with a highly developed sense of etiquette (礼仪) ; therefore, we should speak English as politely as possible when we go abroad.
Ordering meals
31 Beginning your request with May I...?,“Could I...?” is considered polite. For example, “May I have a latte?”It is also politer to say, “ I’ll have...”or“I’d like...” instead of “I want...”because it will be considered as less direct.
Asking for help
If we need to ask someone for help, we should say, “Excuse me, or Do you mind if I ask yousomething?”. 32 Instead, for example, we should say, “Could you tell me where the rest rooms are?”
33
Local people in other countries sometimes speak really fast, so it can be hard for us to catchall the words. In such a situation, we can say, “Pardon me?”to ask them to repeat what theysaid. In my opinion, saying“Can you please repeat that? I didn't follow”,is the politest way.
Refusing an invitation
34 If we really can't make it, we can first say, “Id like to ...”and then say, “but I have to work late”, for example. Or“I’m afraid I can't...”, or even, “That sounds great, but ...”
Expressing disagreement
We can use sentences like “I see what you're saying, but I think...”,or “You could be right, but don't forget that...”or even,“Yes, that's true, but I'm not sure that...” 35
A. Can't catch what's been said?
B. We should not ask our questions directly.
C. Being polite when you order something is very important.
D. Do you know some basic rules of answering the telephone?
E. It is also important to know how to refuse someone’s invitation.
F. “Please” and“thank you” go a long way when we speak to each other.
G.These are great ways to express disagreement politely by being less direct.

Dear Mr. Xi,
I am more than delighted to have you as our English teacher.
As we know, nowadays English is widely used in the modern world. More and more people are hot for learning English, which shows English is playing an important part in our daily life.
My English is not very good and the two main problems in my study are that I feel it difficult to learn words by heart, and that I often feel nervous when speaking English. I really hope that you can give me some good advice on how to memorize new words. Besides, would you please give us more chances to practice speaking English? I believe we can make much progress in English with your help.
Yours,
Li Hua
录音原文
Text 1
W: Do you prefer apples or oranges? I really like both, but if I had to decide, I would say it is apples that are my favorite.
M: I actually don’t like either. My favorite fruit is bananas.
Text 2
W: Will you come with me to my doctor’s appointment tomorrow after school? I hurt my leg from basketball practice yesterday.
M: Sure, I am off work tomorrow. I will pick you up from school and take you to the doctor’s office.
Text 3
M: Do you think we’ll be able to see the bright stars tonight? I heard it was supposed to rain, but it looks fine.
W: I don’t think it will rain, but there will be many clouds in the way tonight.
Text 4
W: I have everything planned out for lunch and dinner today. I went shopping last night.
M: Well, I know your parents won’t be here till noon, but I just woke up and need something to eat. What can I use to make breakfast?
Text 5
W: Where is everyone? Is there a meeting I haven’t been invited to?
M: Actually, we need to go outside. We’re practising how to get out in case of a fire.
Text 6
M: My co-worker has three baby cats to give away. Do you want one?
W: Is that all I can have? I’d like to have them all.
M: Other people may want one, but you can have first choice. There’s a black one, a gray one and a white one.
W: It is said that black cats bring good luck, but I think I’ll go for a gray cat.
M: OK. If you can have another one, I’ll bring the black to you as well.
W: Let’s hope no one else wants them.
Text 7
W: Do you want to see my paintings?
M: I know you are a police officer, but I didn’t know you were an artist.
W: It’s just a hobby. Something I do just in my spare time.
M: It must take your mind off work.
W: Yes. I’m not like you. Being a designer must involve lots of artistic skills.
M: Yeah, you could say that. Let’s see your work.
W: I only have two finished paintings. I’m still doing one and I’ve just sold three.
M: You must be good.
W: People seem to like them.
M: Do you show them in galleries or in shops?
W: I hang them up in the office and people often ask if they can buy one.
Text 8
W: Excuse me, sir. Is this your wallet? It was on the floor.
M: Oh, thank you, young lady. I knew I had dropped it but I couldn’t see it. My sight is failing. I’m 92 years old, you know.
W: Really? Why didn’t you get someone else to come here for you?
M: The bank needs my signature, so I had to come by myself. I’m OK. It’s just my eyesight that is bad. My age is making my sight failing. I could have seen an eye doctor to improve it if I was younger.
W: You are doing it very well now.
M: Yes, it’s just age. I still do all my own shopping and gardening and I haven’t had any accidents yet.
W: Can I do anything for you?
M: No, thank you. I wish all young people were as kind as you.
Text 9
M: That looks like a healthy basket of shopping — vegetables, fruit and not a cookie or a chip in sight.
W: Well, I like to keep the family in good shape, Mr. Jones. It’s my duty to look after them. How much do I owe you?
M: Hmm, let me see. The grapes are £2.The 2 watermelons are £4. And the vegetables come to £6. So that’s a total of £12.
W: But the watermelons are on offer — 2 for the price of one.
M: Of course, I’m sorry. I’ll knock £2 off the total. That’s £10.
W: OK, thank you.
M: I’m like you. I like to eat healthily.
W: I find it’s usually cheaper, and it tastes nicer, too.
M: Do you need any help with that bag?
W: No, it’s OK. My husband is in the car outside.
M: Isn’t he working today?
W: No, he has a day off.

Good morning to you all —parents, students and my fellow teachers. Thank you for coming along to say goodbye. I know we all have to retire sooner or later, but it does feel like a sad
occasion to me, because I have had so many happy years at this school. It feels like just yesterday that I was leaving my previous job to join this school. My last 25 years’working for this school have passed so quickly. Perhaps it is because I have been in such a good school. From the 12-year-olds in the first year, to those who are now 18 and ready to leave for university or a job, I have enjoyed working with you all. I can honestly say that getting this job was like winning a prize. I have met some amazing, wise people — star students, great friends. But perhaps most important of all, it was here that I met the man I would later marry, and who will soon be joining me in retirement.
