18. As an English, I can speak three languages﹣English, German and French, so do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren't.
Some statistics(数据) from the survey done by the European Commission(欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.
And the survey also showed that English is the most widely﹣spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English.That's why my people don't think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.
In Britain, students are not required(被要求) to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school.In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don't students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.
To solve this situation, the British government() is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.
Changing the British attitude(态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try!
(1)Which country does the writer come from?________
A. America .
(2)Which of the following about the British people is TRUE?________
A. They are good language learners
B. 28%of them speak two or more languages
C. They are famous for speaking foreign languages
D. More than half of them only speak English.
(3)According to the passage, students in Britain prefer(较喜欢)to learn________.
A. science or German B. history or German
C. science or history .
(4)In Paragraph 4,"an option means________.
A. a choice B. a game
C. a mistake .
(5)The passage is mainly about________.
A. different ways to improve language learning at school
B. foreign language learning in UK
C. a survey from European countries
D. young English learners.
19. My nine﹣year﹣old son Ben had been begging me to let him find his way home by subway, by himself. After all, we live in New York City, and getting around by public transportation(公共交通) is a basic part of life. It is also the first step toward feeling grown﹣up.
So on that sunny Sunday, I gave him a subway map, a transportation card, $20 for emergencies, and a couple of coins so that he could call me if necessary. I didn't give him a cell phone because nine﹣year﹣olds could lose things easily.
A few days later, I wrote about this experience for a newspaper. Little did I realize the idea that a kid could tour the city on his own, and that a mom would let him go, was big news.
It turned out that many TV shows called me and asked for an interview.Bloggers were going crazy, so I started a blog, too, and letters came pouring in. Finally, I found out why this was such a big story: we have become fearful for our children. Fear is hardly a new thing for parents. But the fear of letting our children out of sight for even a second﹣that's new. How did this happen? How did it become too scary to let kids be kids? I asked the question when the reporter Trevor Butterworth came.
" News reports! "he answered, ________What is scarier than a kid being kidnapped(诱拐)? Because there are so many such stories. People start to feel as if kidnappings are happening all the time. That's why the kid﹣on﹣the subway story surprises the whole world."
Ben probably did a good job. He simply proved(证明) that kids could leave home alone and return home safely! But he didn't think it was a big deal. "It was fun. "He said, "But I missed some classes because of the interviews."
Sometimes, it really pays to be brave.
(1)The author agreed to let her son take the subway alone because________.
A. her son was old enough to depend on(依靠) himself
B. she felt traveling by subway in New York was a basic life skill
C. she thought it would be big news around the world
D. she never thought that her son would be kidnapped.
(2)The author didn't expect that________ after she wrote about her sons story.
A. her son would receive so many letters
B. some reporters would like to film her son's story
C. a blog would be started in her name
D. many TV shows would come to interview her.
(3)What does the underlined sentence really mean?________
A. News reports are always very scary.
B. Kidnappings are happening too often in today's world.
C. News reports about kidnappings influence(影响) people too much.
D. People always prefer scary stories to other stories..
(4)What can we infer from the passage?________
A. Too many parents are worried about their kids' safety.
B. The author gave everything her son might need for the subway trip.
C. Ben was so proud that he succeeded in proving children's abilities.
D. Most reporters thought children nowadays should be more independent(的)..
(5)The best title of the passage could be "________".
A. Fear Is Growing
B. The Kid﹣on﹣the﹣subway Story
C. An Important Step Forward
D. Be Brave to Let Kids Go.
