ATaking your English into the real worldThere is nothing quite like trying out your English in a country where the natives speak it fluently. Chen Yuan, a 24-year-old senior from Fudan University, Shanghai, faced a series of challenges while visiting Europe, Australia and the US.What was the first thing you noticed when you arrived?When I first arrived, my biggest problem was that I didn’t know any slang terms(俚语). I was greeting people with, “How are you?” while everyone else was saying, “What’s up?”I was finding it hard to communicate with local people even when they used simple words.What were the different between the English you learned in the classroom and the English you had to use abroad?In the classroom I would remember patterns of speech. I knew that when someone asked, “How are you?” I should reply, “Fine, thank you. And you?” The problem came when people replied to me in different ways. I didn’t know how to continue the conversation.What was the hardest thing to adapt to?Life in the West is very different. It the US I found it hard to travel about, as there was not much public transport. In New York there may be a subway, but it was hard to find a bus. In some smaller cities, everyone drove a car. It is not easy for a backpacker to travel around these places. I also didn’t enjoy a lot of the food, because I think I was too used to Chinese cooking.Tell us a funny story from your time abroad.When I first arrived in Britain, I wanted to buy some shoes, but didn’t know the word for pigskin or leather. I asked the salesman, “Are the shoes made of beef or pork?” I still remember the look on his face.21.What was Chen Yuan’s biggest barrier when she first arrived abroad?A. How to communicateB. How to travelC. What to eatD. What to buy22.What probably was the root of her communication problems?A. The way she greeted peopleB. The way people replied to herC. The way she started a conversationD. The way she learned English in class23.Which means of transport worried Chen Yuan in New York?A. BusB. CarC. SubwayD. Railway24.Where can we most probably find this article?A. In a travel brochureB. In a daily newspaperC. In a historical novelD. In a fashion magazineBI had an unannounced visit from an unwelcome guest last night.My PC was hit bya virus and I spent all night dealing with the mess it caused.I don’t really know when it happened but the problems just started coming out studdenly last night.Luckily I had just backed up all my documents a week before but I’m still working on getting the operating system up and running.When I set up the computer a few years ago I went through and created recovery CDs so I’m trying to use those to cover the PC back to the way it was out of the box.I’m not exactly sure how the virus came onto my PC but I was behind on both my anti-virus updates and Windows updates so I imagine that had something to do with it.This was not exactly the way I was planning on spending my evening and morning.I absolutely hate wasting time on productivity（生产率） black holes like this.I wonder how many hours of prouductivity are lost each year due to the effects of viruses.Anyhow,it may be day or two before I’m back up and going again.Needless to say there will be some upcoming malls on backing up your date,keeping current（现在的）on your updates,and a review of the best anti-virus software.25.What happen to the author’s computer?A.The software was lost.B.His documents were stored.C.Someone came and stole it.D.A deadly virus dropped by.26.Why did the author hate produetivity black holes so much?A.His time was wasted.B.They ruined all the files.C.His PC was out of the box.D.He was behind on update.27.What will the author have to do before the problem is solved?A.Buying software.B.Updating software.C.Reviewing the data.D.Creating recovery CDs.CWe’re used to watching the price of oil mock g ravity,but there’s an even more necessary product that’s also become scarcer and more expensive in recent months:Traders are paying record prices for wheat on world markets,thanks in part to shortages caused by a mix of droughts（干旱）and flooding.Canada,the second biggest wheat producer after the U.S. , looks set to harvest its smallest crop in five years，due to an unusually dry July，while production in the European Union and Australia may be down nearly 40% from last year flooding rains followed long droughts.Growing global demand for biofuels is also eating up grain production，and putting up prices.As a result of the supply squeeze，global stores of wheat-which makes up one –fifth of the world’s food intake-are expected to fall to their lowest level in 26 years，according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.Tighter supplies mean American consutners will be paying a few cents more for everything from bread to sandwiches to hamburgers，as meat supplies can be tied to grain prices.And, if the world warms as expected over the coming decades，the terrible farming year of 2016 may be just the beginning.As temperatures rise，many studies predict that crop productivity will dealine，as the extreme droughts and folds that damaged this year’s wheat crop become more common.The richest land is likely to be found further north in response to the heat,opening up the possibility of agriculture in areas such as Siberin that has long been too cold for good farming.But the same effect could turn today’s bread-basket regions as the American Midwest into dust bowls.28.Which of the following can best replace the underlined part“mock gravity”in Paragraph 1?A. changeB. closeC. increaseD. decrease29.Which area is thought to produce the most wheat in the world?A. U.SB. CanadaC. AustraliaD. European Union.30.What does the author suggest by mentioning Siberia in the last paragraph?A. Food prices will shoot up.B. Extreme weather might stay.C. It used to be suitable for farming .D. Farming methods have improved.31.What does the passage mainly talk about?A, Crop productivity. B. Extreme weather.C. Wheat shortage.D. Severe droughts.DThere have been claims that warming on Mars and Pluto is proof that recent warming on Earth is caused by an increase in solar activity，and not by greenhouse gases. But we can say with certainty that, even if Mars, Pluto or any other planet has warmed in recent years, it is not due to changes in solar activity.The Sun’s energy output has not increased since direct measurement began in 1978.If increased solar output really was responsible , we should be seeing warming on all the planets and their moons, not just Mars and Pluto.Our solar system has eught planets, three dwarf planets and quite a few moons with at least a thin atmosphere ,and thus a climate of sorts. Their climates will be affected by local factors such as orbital variations, changes in reflectance and even volcanic eruptions, so it would not be suprising if several planets and moons turn out to be warming at any one time.One theory is that winds have recently swept some areas of Mars clean of dust, darkening the surface, warming the Red Planet and leading to further increases in windiness-a positive feedback effect.Observations of the thickness of Pluto’s atmosphere in 2002 suggested the dwarf planet was warming even as its orbit took it further from the Sun. The finding confusedastronomers at the time, and the cause had yet to be determined.It has since been suggested that this is due to a greenhouse effect: As it gets closer to the Sun, Pluto may warm enough for some of the methane ice on its surface to turn into a gas. This world cause further warming, which would continue for a while even after Pluto’s orbit starts to take it away from the Sun.32.What cause(s) the warming of some planets?A. The solar system.B. Their local factors.C. Volcanic mountains.D. The thin atmosphere.33.What is the outcome of the recent winds on Mars?A. They’re cooled the planet.B. They’re left a clear sky.C. They’re caused more winds.D. They’re helped clean the planet.34.What do we know about the thickness of Pluto’s atmosphere?A. Tt remains mysterious.B. It trouble astronauts.C. It has become thinner.D. It contributes to the warming.35.Which of the following might lead to the warming on Earth according to the writer?A. Solar activity.B. Mars and Pluto.C. Greenhouse gases.D. The Sun’s energy output.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。
