Language experts, however, will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though. ‎ Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do. ‎ Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel stressed to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language. ‎ When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset helps them to learn a new language without feeling like they’re doing something unusual or “too hard”. ‎ So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It’s never too late to learn a new language. If you’re older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you’re a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!‎ ‎29. By “Language is their life”, the author means that children ‎ ‎ . A．practice a new language a lot B．lead a happy life every day C．are taken good care of adults D．can’t live without language ‎30. What may make it hard for the old people to learn to a new language? A．They think making mistakes is natural. B．They usually have too many interests. C．They are afraid of being laughed at. D．They always make all kinds of mistakes.‎ ‎31. Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning a new language? A．The materials they are using B. The behaviors they have C．The learning attitudes D. The future plans they have made ‎32. According to the author, a new language  . A．can never be learned by the old people    B．can be grasped by the old people easily C．can be understood only by the old people  D．can be learned by both the old and the young D Children who do better than their companions at school tend to go on to enjoy better health as adults, research suggests. The study was based on a 30-year follow-up of more than 14.000 children born in Sweden in 1953.‎ The Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health study found the least popular children had a nine times higher risk of heart disease. They were also more at risk of diabetes (糖尿病),drugs, alcohol and mental health problems.‎ The degree of popularity, power and status enjoyed by each child, was evaluated ‎ when the children reached sixth grade in 1966 by asking them who they most preferred to work with at school. Individual children were classified into five status bands depending on how many nominations (提名) they have received.‎ The leader researcher Ylva Almquist, from the Center for Health Equity Studies at the University of Stockholm, said children with a low status might lack social support and information, this will lead to a more negative self-image, which could lead to lower expectations and poor choices in life.‎ ‎“For example, children in lower peer status may adopt a more health-damaging lifestyle, including behaviors such as heavy smoking and drinking. These behaviors are known to be major risk for heart disease.” she said.‎ She said the study shows that schools should work to promote social equality in the classroom, and to improve children’s self-image.‎ Professor Alan Maryon-Davis, president of the UK Faculty of Public Health, said, “Children who feel undervalued or are bullied (欺凌) at school often grow up lacking self-confidence. They then seek comfort in overeating, smoking or drinking, and all too often find themselves in poor health. It is important to do whatever we can to help children and young people feel valued.”‎ ‎33. How did the researchers know the degree of popularity of students?‎ A. By asking them how many friends they had B. By asking them who they wanted to work with C. By asking their teachers how they behaved in school ‎ D. By asking their parents how they behaved at home ‎34. What should we do for children according to Professor Alan Maryon-Davis?‎ ‎ A. Make them feel respected B. Help them form good study habits ‎ C. Improve their school grades D. Help them choose healthy lifestyles ‎35. What does the author intend to tell us?‎ ‎ A. Poor health leads to negative self-image. B. The relationship between lifestyles and health.‎ ‎ C. The factors that lead to mental health problems. D. Lake of popularity leads to poor health.‎ 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Test-taking tips Do you sweat, check your pencil, and feel butterflies in your stomach as your teacher hands out the test paper? A lot of people feel anxious when it is time to take a test. Here are some tips for taking tests:‎ ‎ 36 . Your memory recall will be much better if you have had enough rest.

Once you have the test paper in front of you, read over the entire test, checking out how long it is and all the parts that you are expected to complete. 37 .If something seems unclear before you start, do not worry: ask the teacher.‎ Focus on addressing each question individually. 38 . Instead, answer the best way you can or skip over the question and come back to it after you have answered other questions.‎ Relax. 39 . Of course you cannot get up and move around in the middle of a test, but you can wiggle your fingers and toes, take four or five deep breaths. As we all know, it can be easy to forget things we know well. During a test, if you forget something and start to get nervous, it suddenly becomes much more difficult to remember.‎ Finished already? Although most teachers will let you hand your test paper in early, it is usually a good idea to spend any extra time checking over your work. 40 . On the other hand, if you have 5 minutes until the bell rings and you are still writing, end up whatever you are working on without panic.‎ A. This will allow you to decide how much time you have for each section B. Be sure you have studied properly C. Get enough sleep the night before the test D. As the teacher hands out the test paper, be sure you know what is expected of you E. As you take the test, if you do not know an answer, do not worry about it F.

It was only when the industrial fishing boats got started in 62 1950s that people lost interest in the fish. Modern fishery turned most of its catch into fishmeal(鱼饲料) for feeding other animals. In fact, most of the fish 63 (catch) yearly around the world are for use other than eating, and 90% of them are 64 (perfect) good to eat.‎ White is a researcher at the University of British Columbia and he spent years 65 (research) into fishery catches around the world. According 66 his study, about 27% of ocean fish which were caught became fishmeal or fish oil. Those products were used to feed farmed fish or used in agriculture.‎ ‎ “There could be a 67 (good) use of these fish,” says White. Instead of feeding fish to fish, the fish could feed people, especially those 68 need high-quality protein. But the reason why that doesn’t happen is a 69 (combine) of economics and regulations(法规). In many places, a fisherman can get more money if he sells his catch for fishmeal than if he sells it to the locals for 70 meals. And in Peru, a change in how fishes are handled could both satisfy the need to feed the people and supply the fishmeal industry.‎ 第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，共10分）‎ 文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(^)，并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改:在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意: 1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词; 2.只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。‎ It was beautiful morning.
