| A The story of English language is a story of change. The old English language, or old English, is quite different from Modern English. If we do not study old English, we can't understand it. Some of the words are the same, but many are not used now. The story of the English language begins some time after the year 400 AD. At this time, some people came to England from North-west Europe. There were many groups of people. They were called Angles (盎格鲁人), Saxons (撒克逊人) and Jutes (朱特人), whose language, old English, is like some of the modern language of North-West Europe. In old English, the ending had many meanings. They showed past time and present time and many other things. In Modern English, most of these endings are gone. This is the biggest difference between Old and Modern English. |

| Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air,water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants. |
| 1. The main idea of the first paragraph is that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. plants are important for life B. plants cannot grow without air C. there are many plants in the world D. we can not live without water |
| 2. Plants can make food from _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. flower, water and air B. water, sunlight and air C. air, water and soil D. air, sun and light |
| 3. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Of all living things animals are most important B. Spores are seeds C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds D. Without plants, man will die out |
| 4. This passage may be taken from _____. |

| Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I' m not a football commentator (评论员), though- just an English teacher in Japan. I came to Japan two years ago, and didn' t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it' s best to teach, in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for tile nightlife factor. But I' d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices. I teach English privately, which means I' m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it's well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule (日程表) of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time. Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on, but whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here. The schools are reluctant to take time off-even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off. |
| 1. From the passage we know in Japan the writer likes to live in _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. Tokyo B. a small town C. a city of middle size D. a big city |
| 2. According to the writer, one had better _____ first to do private teaching better. |
|
[ ] |
| A. take a TEFL course B. decide his or her own lessons C. find students D. build up a full schedule |
| 3. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. there are many foreigners in Japan B. Japan is good for nightlife C. they can teach English privately in Japan D. Japan has something more attractive than expected |
| 4. The underlined word "reluctant" in the passage may probably mean _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. kind B. unwilling C. free D. careless |

| In a recently published book, I came across some exercises with interesting names such as fishbone diagrams, lotus flowers, and clustering. As I used these exercises in my classes, I noticed that students were interested. They said more and wrote more. They enjoyed expressing their ideas and sharing them in groups. They were no longer passively waiting for the bell, but actively took part in the lesson. I find that creativity (创新) can act as a way to increase participation and improve fluency (流利程度). Creativity has become a popular word in recent years. Scholar in the arts, psychology (心理学), business, education, and science are all working to get a deeper understanding of it. Robert J. Sternberg is a creativity specialist and Yale professor of psychology. He defines creativity as"the ability to produce work that is both new (original) and appropriate (applicable to the situation)". This definition is useful, as we want our students to use language in a new way, and to use it correctly and properly. Most scholars say there are two types of creativity: big "C" creativity and small "c" creativity. Big "C" creativity refers to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs. Small "c" creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation. Our emphasis is on the latter. While it goes without saying that any of our students could go on to be the next Picasso or Edison, our aim is to help students produce more ideas and use language in new ways. |

[ ] |

| 3. When you use a very familiar word in a new way, you are _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. creative in the sense of big "C" creativity B. creative in the sense of small "c" creativity C. not creative in the sense of big "C" creativity D. not creative in the sense of small "c" creativity |

| Childhood was an illusion (错觉) and the illusion was this: everything was bigger. No, Imean everything, not just houses and shops and grown-ups, but colors and flowers and journeys, especially journeys which seemed endless. "Are we there yet, Daddy?" Funfairs (游乐场) were huge things that spread for miles around you with noise and lights and exciting danger. Rainy days at home when you were ill seemed to last for ever. Being a grown-up yourself was an unthinkable distant possibility. Every sound was louder, every game was grander, every pain unbearable. As I've grown old, life has become smaller. Tastes have bulled. Surprises have lurned into shocks. Days go by unnoticed. How can I regain childhood when it was an illusion? I have only one repeatable and wonderful way and even in this way I can regain only part of that larger world. I can play upon the stage like a child and make the crowd laugh and laugh with them, sometimes helplessly like a child, and then, even though I'm a sixty-one-year-old man, I can almost catch the colors and sounds and stillness of those bigger years when I was little. |
