Correct: ________SECTION II: Reading ComprehensionReading Task 1You are going to read a page from a brochure with advertisements for four unusual leisure experiences. For questions 1-7, choose from the advertisements (A-D). The advertisements may be chosen more than once or not chosen at all.Do Something DifferentA - Indoor SkydivingIf you have always wanted to try skydiving, but are afraid of flying, here is the answer - indoor skydiving. You will feel like you are freefalling from a plane, even though you are only about two feet off the ground, as a giant propeller blasts air at 200 mph, suspending you in the airflow. It is a freefall experience that everyone must try, at the world's biggest skydiving wind tunnel, in Bedfordshire, England. Compared to other similar experiences on the market, you will get more 'flight time' in the wind tunnel and, when you finish, a DVD containing footage of your flight for you to remember the experience. This facility also caters to international skydiving teams, so be assured that you'll be in the safest hands. The tunnel was originally built over fifty years ago to study aerodynamic forces, and later to test the strength of aeroplane parts such as ejector seats. Four decades later, the tunnel was restored. A reasonable level of fitness is required in order to participate. Spectators can watch the dive from the free viewing gallery, but the loud noise makes it unsuitable for very young children.B - The Cathedrals Express Steam TrainStep back into the 19th century as you take a train ride on the Cathedrals Express, which runs from central London to some of England's most beautiful cathedral cities. It's the perfect experience for romantic couples, Harry Potter fans and those whowant to relive the good old days. As you travel, you will dine on superb food while sitting at a table with lovely views of the countryside. The train is an exact replica of one that operated during Victorian times, and the carriage interiors are beautifully decorated. It is an unusual sight, so expect people to wave at you as you go by. Of course, you may wish to wave back! When the train pulls into the terminus, you are released from the fantasy for a short spell, as you have the chance to shop or see the sights. Trains and stations have ramps for wheelchair users. Spectators are welcome to see the train depart and meet it on its return.C - Traditional Circus SkillsDo you want to learn some new skills? Are you fed up with the usual routine and want to do something a little more exciting than walking around the shopping centre on Saturday mornings?Then roll up, roll up -come and join the circus! During your session at Britain's top circus skills school, you will learn about the physical strength required for the trapeze and acrobatics, practise your coordination skills while juggling and attempt to acrobalance (otherwise known as tightrope walking). All the instructors are professionals with first-hand knowledge of the techniques and equipment used. You'll be learning the basics in no time, so you can impress all your friends with your new skills when you get home. It is recommended that you wear casual clothes that don't restrict your movement - a tracksuit and trainers would be ideal. Participants must be at least 14 years old, and although they don't need to be in absolutely tip-top shape, a reasonable level of fitness is required if you want to get the most from this course. Spectators are welcome throughout. Unfortunately, there is no disabled access at the school.D - Scuba DivingAre you having trouble finding things to do with the kids? Here's an idea. At the Aqua Fun Programme, young adventurers are introduced to the thrill of breathing under water. They are first taught the basic procedures for scuba diving, including safety and communication with fellow divers, and familiarised with the equipment before dipping their toes into the water. All the instructors are qualified Diving Instructors. Then, under constant supervision, they get to dive and swim around in a swimming pool, at a maximum depth of only 6m, but still, experience what it would feel like to be in a natural diving environment. Parents are welcome to watch as their children learn to scuba dive and enjoy splashing around making bubbles underwater. Children don't have to be strong swimmers and previous experience is not needed. You must bring your own swimwear, but all other equipment will be provided.Which of the advertisements mention(s):1. something participants in the experience must bring with them? A - B - C - D2. giving you something to take home with you? A - B - C - D3. giving you the chance to take a break from normal life? A - B - C - D4. what participants will learn before the start of the activity? A - B - C - D5. regret that a specific type of visitor cannot enter the place? A - B - C - D6. that the place has been used for more than one purpose? A - B - C - D7. something which makes it possible for the disabled to participate? A - B - C - DA - Indoor Skydiving,B - The Cathedrals Express Steam Train,C - Traditional Circus Skill,D - Scuba DivingReading Task 2You are going to read a newspaper article about a politician who made a film about climate change. Seven sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits each gap (1-7). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.The Accidental Movie StarFormer Vice President of the U.S.A. Al Gore has made a film he hopes will help to change the way we view climate change. Al Gore has been concerned with climate change, or 'climate crisis' as he calls it, for the majority of his political career. As the years passed and he became more passionate about this issue, he started travelling the world in order to educate peopleabout the effects of global warming using computer slideshows. Free of charge, he explained to his audiences that the world is facing a 'planetary emergency' and that it isn't too late to stop it if appropriate action is taken now.It was during this time of touring and giving lectures that Gore was spotted by Hollywood producer Laurie David, who asked him to turn his slideshow into a documentary which he would play the starring role. {1 ________} E ventually, though, David managed to persuade him. The result was a fascinating documentary combining references to Gore's own life story with horrifying predictions about the future of our planet.Little did Gore know that just one year later he would be walking along the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival and later collecting an Oscar for 'Best Documentary'. {2 _______ } A dvertised as 'the scariest movie you'll ever see,' it concentrates on the potentially terrifying consequences of climate change.'An Inconvenient Truth' certainly gives us much to consider. For example, is there a link between the frequency of strong hurricanes and global warming? Why was 2005 the hottest year ever recorded? Could whole cities such as San Francisco one day be submerged in water due to rising sea levels? {3_______ }As the title of the film suggests, however, it may be inconvenient for us to have to think about the future of the planet, but think we must.Published at the same time as the release of the film, Gore's book of the same title contains additional information and scientific analysis to further support his claims. {4 _______}Gore is delighted that some schools are even using the DVD to help them teach awareness of environmental issues to their students.As pessimistic as the film may seem, it ends on a positive note. {5______}If Gore was going to present a problem, he wanted to offer a potential solution, too. His main hope is that people accept the reality of the crisis and then turn that knowledge into action.Gore leads by example. {6________ } H e realises, however, that most people need a little more help when it comes to changing their habits. For this reason, he has also been working hard to encourage large shops to sell more environmentally friendly products.So can this one man's efforts really make a difference? {7 ________ }It may not seem as if the decisions of individuals can achieve very much, but put them all together and they may add up to something that will, literally, change the world.A. The movie owes its success to its ability to hold our attention.B. He insists on using biodiesel vehicles and has decided to become carbon neutral, which means that he reduces the amount of carbon dioxide he produces every day.C. Well, according to Gore, if we are clear about what the problem is, then we are more likely to introduce changes into our daily lives, such as choosing the 'greenest' light bulbs or cars.D. Whilst both the film and the book have largely been well received by critics, they have been criticised by some as being'exaggerated' and 'over-the-top'.E. The aim of the film certainly seems to be to 'shock' people into action, which may or may not be the best way to tackle the issue of global warming.F. The profits from both the film and the book are now funding other campaigns to spread the message about global warming.G. As Gore himself says, "It's not too late to solve this crisis, and solving it means avoiding the worst of the consequences and reversing this trend towards catastrophe."H. At first, Gore was reluctant, as he has always been a very private person, despite being used to being in the public eye.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Questions 51to 55are based on the following passageIt would be difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, transportation, and other services.A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a public good is national defense. One person can benefit from our national defense without reducing another person's benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying thebenefits of national defense.The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay S 100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $ 100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100.The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes.51. According to the passage, public goods are ___A___.A) services enjoyed by all people .B) what we can buy and sell in public .C) products that we make for national defenseD) taxes paid by the people involved52 The writer gives the example of national defense in paragraph 2 in order to show that ____C__.A) there will be no safety if there is no national defenseB) all the people should be responsible for national defenseC) a public good is a shared benefit for the whole societyD) some public goods are more important than others53 The person who does not pay for a public good __D____.A) keeps himself from using its benefitB) cannot enjoy its benefit at any timeC) fails to keep its benefit from being usedD) enjoys its benefit all the same54. In the third paragraph the author explains __A____.A) what role the market system plays in producing public goodsB) how weak the market system is in producing public goodsC) why some people refuse to pay for public goodsD) what we can do to make use of the market system55. From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes is to ___A____.A) ensure the continuous supply of public goodsB) reduce the difference between the rich and the poorC) get extra money to support public goodsD) remind people of their dutyPassage TwoQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passageSummers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming, hiking, boating, fishing –the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father accepted their criticism. He decided to institute a summer school for my brother and me. However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise (巡游) in my father’s 18-foot knockabout. WE spent the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week. I remember that on my cruise I was required to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see clearly across the water in the distance.56. What was the original reason for holding the summer school? BA) Friends and relatives thought the children should learn religion.B) The father wanted the children to learn more about religion.C) The children got poor grades in their regular school.D) The regular school teachers neglected the children.57. The purpose of the cruise mentioned in the passage was to _B__.A) have fun.B) test the author’s sailing abilityC) reward the author for completing summer schoolD) get to the island.58. Why did the author have to plot the course of her cruise? AA) She had to demonstrate her ability to do so.B) She was afraid of getting lost.C) The coast was dangerous.D) The tides were strong.59. How long did the author’s cruise last? BA) all summer. B) a week. C) overnight D) one day, morning till night.60. Apparently a knockabout is_C__.A) an island B) a cruise C)a boat D) a seaman’s knot.Passage ThreeQuestions 61to 65 are based on the following passageAmerica is a country on the move. People of all ages are exercising their way to better health. According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly--up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 year ago. Even non-exercises believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active.It is hard not to get the message. The advantages of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads for everything, from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣传) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running. Although running hasleveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding-and sometimes safer-forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remains the most popular form of exercise. As the popularity of exercise continues to rise, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits.61. How many American adults were doing regular exercises two years ago? CA) About 70%. B) Nearly 60%. C) Almost 50%. D) More than 12%.62. A growing interest in sports developed after ___A___.A) research showed their health benefitsB) people got the message from magazine covers and postage stampsC) scientific evidence of health benefits was shown on TV adsD) an increasing number of races were held in American cities63. The phrase “leveled off” (Para.2. Line 6)probably means ___D___.A) “become very popular”B) “stopped being popular”C) “reached its lowest level in popularity”D) “stopped increases in popularity”64. It can be learnt from the passage that the health benefits of exercise ___C___.A) are yet to be provedB) are to be further studiedC) are supported by scientific evidenceD) are self-evident65. The best TITLE for the passage is __B____.A) Different Forms of ExerciseB) Exercise-The Road to HealthC) Scientific Evidence of Health BenefitsD) Running-A Popular Form of SportPassage FourQuestions 66 to 70 are based on the following passageThe Internet has often been described as the biggest communications revolution since the printed book. But not too long ago it was a secretive field enjoyed by a few select individuals. These days, however, things have changed for the better, and it is now a thriving(繁荣) community with many millions of people exchanging information, ideas and opinions. The development of easier connections, more user-friendly software and cheaper access has opened up the “information superhighway” to everyone in all fields of life.For language teachers, it is the perfect medium. In the past, teachers spent hours collecting leaflets and menus, handouts in the street and free magazines from street stands, and buying foreign language newspapers and magazines. Now, all this material is quickly, cheaply and readily available from the comfort of our desks or homes. The Internet can be an infinite resource file of texts, listening material, video files, live TV from around the world ... The list is endless.And, of course, it's not merely a source of material in English, but also home of professional knowledge for teachers: bibliographies, chat groups, articles, courses and conferences. The internet is of great value for every teacher.66. The passage is primarily about __A____.A) the development of the InternetB) the source of material by the InternetC) the communications revolutionD) the Internet and language teachers67. The current situation of Internet is __B____.A) a special field enjoyed by a few select individualsB) an important community for information exchangeC) a substitute for language teachersD) place selling newspapers and magazines68. What makes Internet enjoyed by ordinary people? AA) A thriving community B) technical developmentC) Teachers’ efforts D) Radio and TV programs69. The Internet brings language teachers __A____.A) source of teaching material and professional knowledgeB) the quick, cheap and ready chat groupsC) invaluable collections of materialD) a room with comfortable desks70. We can infer from the passage that __C____.A) printed book once brought the communications revolutionB) it’s very hard for teacher to find material in the pastC) we can find endless resource file from the InternetD) the internet is very important for every teacherPart III.

Correct: ________SECTION II: Reading ComprehensionReading Task 1You are going to read a page from a brochure with advertisements for four unusual leisure experiences. For questions 1-7, choose from the advertisements (A-D). The advertisements may be chosen more than once or not chosen at all.Do Something DifferentA - Indoor SkydivingIf you have always wanted to try skydiving, but are afraid of flying, here is the answer - indoor skydiving. You will feel like you are freefalling from a plane, even though you are only about two feet off the ground, as a giant propeller blasts air at 200 mph, suspending you in the airflow. It is a freefall experience that everyone must try, at the world's biggest skydiving wind tunnel, in Bedfordshire, England. Compared to other similar experiences on the market, you will get more 'flight time' in the wind tunnel and, when you finish, a DVD containing footage of your flight for you to remember the experience. This facility also caters to international skydiving teams, so be assured that you'll be in the safest hands. The tunnel was originally built over fifty years ago to study aerodynamic forces, and later to test the strength of aeroplane parts such as ejector seats. Four decades later, the tunnel was restored. A reasonable level of fitness is required in order to participate. Spectators can watch the dive from the free viewing gallery, but the loud noise makes it unsuitable for very young children.B - The Cathedrals Express Steam TrainStep back into the 19th century as you take a train ride on the Cathedrals Express, which runs from central London to some of England's most beautiful cathedral cities. It's the perfect experience for romantic couples, Harry Potter fans and those who want to relive the good old days. As you travel, you will dine on superb food while sitting at a table with lovely views of the countryside. The train is an exact replica of one that operated during Victorian times, and the carriage interiors are beautifully decorated. It is an unusual sight, so expect people to wave at you as you go by. Of course, you may wish to wave back! When the train pulls into the terminus, you are released from the fantasy for a short spell, as you have the chance to shop or see the sights. Trains and stations have ramps for wheelchair users. Spectators are welcome to see the train depart and meet it on its return.C - Traditional Circus SkillsDo you want to learn some new skills? Are you fed up with the usual routine and want to do something a little more exciting than walking around the shopping centre on Saturday mornings?Then roll up, roll up -come and join the circus! During your session at Britain's top circus skills school, you will learn about the physical strength required for the trapeze and acrobatics, practise your coordination skills while juggling and attempt to acrobalance (otherwise known as tightrope walking). All the instructors are professionals with first-hand knowledge of the techniques and equipment used. You'll be learning the basics in no time, so you can impress all your friends with your new skills when you get home. It is recommended that you wear casual clothes that don't restrict your movement - a tracksuit and trainers would be ideal. Participants must be at least 14 years old, and although they don't need to be in absolutely tip-top shape, a reasonable level of fitness is required if you want to get the most from this course. Spectators are welcome throughout. Unfortunately, there is no disabled access at the school.D - Scuba DivingAre you having trouble finding things to do with the kids? Here's an idea. At the Aqua Fun Programme, young adventurers are introduced to the thrill of breathing under water. They are first taught the basic procedures for scuba diving, including safety and communication with fellow divers, and familiarised with the equipment before dipping their toes into the water. All the instructors are qualified Diving Instructors. Then, under constant supervision, they get to dive and swim around in a swimming pool, at a maximum depth of only 6m, but still, experience what it would feel like to be in a natural diving environment. Parents are welcome to watch as their children learn to scuba dive and enjoy splashing around making bubbles underwater. Children don't have to be strong swimmers and previous experience is not needed. You must bring your own swimwear, but all other equipment will be provided.Which of the advertisements mention(s):1. something participants in the experience must bring with them? A - B - C - D2. giving you something to take home with you? A - B - C - D3. giving you the chance to take a break from normal life? A - B - C - D4. what participants will learn before the start of the activity? A - B - C - D5. regret that a specific type of visitor cannot enter the place? A - B - C - D6. that the place has been used for more than one purpose? A - B - C - D7. something which makes it possible for the disabled to participate? A - B - C - DA - Indoor Skydiving,B - The Cathedrals Express Steam Train,C - Traditional Circus Skill,D - Scuba DivingReading Task 2You are going to read a newspaper article about a politician who made a film about climate change. Seven sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-H the one which fits each gap (1-7). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.The Accidental Movie StarFormer Vice President of the U.S.A. Al Gore has made a film he hopes will help to change the way we view climate change. Al Gore has been concerned with climate change, or 'climate crisis' as he calls it, for the majority of his political career. As the years passed and he became more passionate about this issue, he started travelling the world in order to educate people about the effects of global warming using computer slideshows. Free of charge, he explained to his audiences that the world is facing a 'planetary emergency' and that it isn't too late to stop it if appropriate action is taken now.It was during this time of touring and giving lectures that Gore was spotted by Hollywood producer Laurie David, who asked him to turn his slideshow into a documentary which he would play the starring role. {1 ________} E ventually, though, David managed to persuade him. The result was a fascinating documentary combining references to Gore's own life story with horrifying predictions about the future of our planet.Little did Gore know that just one year later he would be walking along the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival and later collecting an Oscar for 'Best Documentary'. {2 _______ } A dvertised as 'the scariest movie you'll ever see,' it concentrates on the potentially terrifying consequences of climate change.'An Inconvenient Truth' certainly gives us much to consider. For example, is there a link between the frequency of strong hurricanes and global warming? Why was 2005 the hottest year ever recorded? Could whole cities such as San Francisco one day be submerged in water due to rising sea levels? {3_______ }As the title of the film suggests, however, it may be inconvenient for us to have to think about the future of the planet, but think we must.Published at the same time as the release of the film, Gore's book of the same title contains additional information and scientific analysis to further support his claims. {4 _______}Gore is delighted that some schools are even using the DVD to help them teach awareness of environmental issues to their students.As pessimistic as the film may seem, it ends on a positive note. {5______}If Gore was going to present a problem, he wanted to offer a potential solution, too. His main hope is that people accept the reality of the crisis and then turn that knowledge into action.Gore leads by example. {6________ } H e realises, however, that most people need a little more help when it comes to changing their habits. For this reason, he has also been working hard to encourage large shops to sell more environmentally friendly products.So can this one man's efforts really make a difference? {7 ________ }It may not seem as if the decisions of individuals can achieve very much, but put them all together and they may add up to something that will, literally, change the world.A. The movie owes its success to its ability to hold our attention.B. He insists on using biodiesel vehicles and has decided to become carbon neutral, which means that he reduces the amount of carbon dioxide he produces every day.C. Well, according to Gore, if we are clear about what the problem is, then we are more likely to introduce changes into our daily lives, such as choosing the 'greenest' light bulbs or cars.D. Whilst both the film and the book have largely been well received by critics, they have been criticised by some as being 'exaggerated' and 'over-the-top'.E. The aim of the film certainly seems to be to 'shock' people into action, which may or may not be the best way to tackle the issue of global warming.F. The profits from both the film and the book are now funding other campaigns to spread the message about global warming.G. As Gore himself says, "It's not too late to solve this crisis, and solving it means avoiding the worst of the consequences and reversing this trend towards catastrophe."H. At first, Gore was reluctant, as he has always been a very private person, despite being used to being in the public eye.Correct: ________End of Section II.SECTION III: Listening ComprehensionL istening Task 1(from h ttps://tracktest.eu/english-practice-test-with-answers-b2)You will hear David telling his friend Janet about his recent trip to Brazil.

This definition is simple, but the process is complex. Intercultural communication involves differing perceptions（观念）, attitudes, and interpretations. We know that even two people from the same culture can have communication problems. People can intentionally hurt each other by something they say or do. Isn’t it logical, then, that communication problems can be compounded among people who do not have the benefit of shared experiences (such as language and culture)?Cultures do not communicate; individuals do. Everyone has a unique style of communication, but cultures determine a general style of communication for their members. The relationship of the individual to his culture is analogous（类似的，相似的）to an actor and his director. The actor puts his own personality into his acting but is nevertheless influenced by the director. We are not always aware of the subtle influence of our culture. Likewise, we may not perceive that others are influenced by their cultures as well.Problems and misinterpretations do not result every time members from two culturescommunicate. However, when cultural conflicts do arise, they may be perceived as personal rather than cultural. In the following example it is a cultural misunderstanding that create negative feelings and confusion:A young woman from one culture is looking out of the window and sees a male acquaintance from another culture. He signals to her by puckering（缩拢）his lips. She quickly looks away from the window. Later she ignores him. He is confused and she is angry.The misunderstanding was due to the woman’s failure to understand the man’s nonverbal signal. In her culture, his gesture conveys a sexual advance. According to his culture, he was only saying（nonverbally）, “Oh, there you are. I’ve been looking for you.”The woman’s misinterpretation resulted in her angry reaction and his confusion. If the two had known more about each other’s nonverbal cues, they could have avoided the cultural conflict.Some misunderstandings are insignificant and can be easily ignored or remedied. Other conflicts are more serious in that they can cause misinterpretations and create persistent（持久的）negative attitudes toward foreigners.Difficulties in intercultural communication arise when there is little or no awareness of divergent cultural values and beliefs. In cross-cultural interaction, speakers sometimes assume that what they believe is right, because they have grown up thinking their way is the best. This ethnocentric（种族中心主义的）assumption can result in negative judgments about other cultures. Another manifestation（表现）of ethnocentric attitudes is that people become critical of individuals from different cultures.Sometimes negative reactions do not result from actual interaction but rather from the fixed, preconceived beliefs we have about other people. These over generalized beliefs or “stereotypes”frequently shape people’s perceptions of each other.Stereotypes originate and develop from numerous sources such as jokes, textbooks, movies, and television. Movies about cowboys and Indians portray cowboys as “civilized” and Indians as wild and “primitive.” A child who knows about the American Indians only through watching these movies will have a distorted（扭曲的）and false image of this group of people. Stereotypes perpetuate inaccuracies about religious, racial and cultural groups.Stereotyped beliefs prevent us from seeing people as individual with unique characteristics. Negative stereotypes lead to prejudice（偏见）: suspicion, intolerance, or hatred of other cultural groups.Cultural conflicts occur as a result of misinterpretations, ethnocentrism, stereotypes and prejudice. Preventing these conflicts is possible with increased awareness of our own attitudes as well as sensitivity to cross-cultural differences. Developing intercultural sensitivity does not meanthat we need to lose our cultural identities—but rather that we recognize cultural influences within ourselves and within others.（）1. Which of the following is not involved in intercultural communication?A.Perceptions.B.Attitudes.C.Memories.D.Interpretations.（）2. The influence of a culture on the people is ______________.A.extremely obviousB.quite subtleC.most noticeableD.very little（）3. Sometimes a cultural conflict may be regarded as _____________.A. a difficult problemB. a confusing problemC. a group conflictD. a person-to-person conflict（）4. From the example given in the passage, we can see that the woman got angry with the man because ______________.A.she hated himB.she misunderstood himC.he made a terrible mistakeD.he humiliated her（）5. According to the passage, intercultural communication can be difficult because people from different cultures do not _________________.A.have the knowledge of foreign languagesB.have a foreign educational backgroundC.accept foreign ideasD.share similar cultural values and beliefs（）6. According to the passage, cultural conflicts can be prevented by ___________.A.losing one’s own cultural identityB.increasing people’s sensitivity to cross-cultural differencesC.learning something about foreign countriesD.removing traditional ideas from people’s minds。

my english test英语作文Title: My English Test ExperiencePreparing for my English test was a journey filled with both challenges and rewarding moments. As someone who values communication and the power of language, I saw this test as an opportunity to showcase my proficiency and growth in the English language. Here's a reflection on my experience leading up to, during, and after the test.Leading Up to the TestThe weeks preceding the test were a whirlwind of revision and practice. I knew that to perform well, I had to immerse myself in the language, not just memorize grammar rules or vocabulary lists. I started by identifying my strengths and weaknesses. For me, reading comprehension and writing were areas where I felt confident, but listening comprehension and speaking could always benefit from improvement.To tackle my weaknesses, I devoted extra time to listening exercises, using podcasts, TED Talks, and English movies with subtitles. I also joined an online language exchange group, where I could practice speaking with native speakers. This notonly helped me refine my pronunciation but also made me more comfortable expressing myself in English.As for my strong points, I didn't neglect them entirely. I continued to read English literature, both classic and contemporary, to expand my vocabulary and understand different writing styles. For writing, I practiced essay writing and made sure to incorporate a variety of sentence structures and vocabulary in my responses.During the TestThe day of the test arrived, and I woke up feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. I reminded myself that preparation was key, and that all the hard work I had put in would reflect in my performance.The test itself was comprehensive, covering all aspects of the English language. The listening section was challenging but manageable, thanks to my practice. I found myself able to follow conversations and understand the main ideas being conveyed. The reading section tested my comprehension skills, and I was pleased with how quickly I could scan through passages and find relevant information.The writing section allowed me to express my thoughts clearly and coherently. I took my time to plan my responses, ensuring that they were well-structured and supported by relevant examples. The speaking section was perhaps the most daunting, but I remembered to stay calm, speak slowly and clearly, and use the full time allocated to me.After the TestAfter submitting my test, I felt a sense of relief. Regardless of the outcome, I knew that I had given it my best shot. I reflected on the experience, noting areas where I had excelled and those that required further improvement.The wait for the results was nerve-wracking, but when they finally arrived, I was pleased with my score. It was a testament to my hard work and dedication. More importantly, it was a reminder that continuous learning and practice are essential for mastering any language.In conclusion, my English test experience was a valuable lesson in perseverance, preparation, and the joy of learning. It reinforced my belief that with dedication and the right strategies, one can overcome any challenge, even those related to language acquisition. I look forward to continuingmy journey in English and exploring the endless possibilities it has to offer.。

2021-2021 (the 1st Term)2009-12-28English Test Paper(A卷)Paper One 试卷一Part I Reading Comprehension (40 points: 2x20=40)Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All going well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look around〞. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rack to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.1. When a man is buying clothes, ____.A. he buys cheap things, regardless of qualityB. he chooses things that others recommendC. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right thingsD. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dear2. What do men care about before they buy the new clothes?A. They care about the size.B. They care about the price.C. They make sure a thing fits before they buy it.D. They make sure that the style is right.3. What does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes?A. They welcome suggestions from anyone.B. Women rarely consider buying cheap clothes.C. Women often buy things without giving the matter proper thought.D. They try to buy clothes for more than its real value.4. When women go on trying new clothes on, their husbands ____.A. stay with them and sit on the chairs waitingB. stay and wait outside the shopC. go window shopping aroundD. go to buy something for themselves5. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?A. The fact that men do not try clothes on in a shop.B. Women bargain for their clothes, but men care less about money.C. Women buy more than men.D. The time they take over buying clothes.Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Many Chinese students who have learnt English more than ten years are still unable to speak English properly and fluently when they encounter a foreigner. They have been able to master the basic language structure and many other things grammatically, but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid other people might laugh at their mistakes or they think those to whom they are speaking might not understand them.It is not uncommon that many students, who are bad speakers of English, write beautiful and fluent English. This proves perfectly that they do have the ability to organize their ideas in English. The problem is that they do not have enough practice and confidence. Maybe they are afraid ofspeaking English openly.The best way out, as a result, would be a bit more confidence and practice. No one would laugh at you even though you make some mistakes for they understand English is a foreign language to you. Don’t care too much about the small mistakes you may make in your conversation because you can correct them easily if you practice enough. But you do have to take great care to make people understand what you are trying to say. If you keep practicing English all the time, you will surely find that talking with a native speaker is not at all difficult.6. The problem that most Chinese students have in learning English is that they are unable to _____.A. master the basic structureB. write beautiful EnglishC. learn difficult grammarD. talk to a foreigner7. Many Chinese learners of English are weak at speaking because _____ .A. they haven’t studied long enoughB. they can’t organize ideas in EnglishC. they don’t have enoug h confidence and practiceD. they don’t feel like talking to an English speaker8. The best way to solve this problem, according to this passage, is by _____.A. practicing moreB. listening moreC. learning more grammarD. making more friends9. The passage implies that _____.A. Chinese students usually fear to have a conversation with a foreignerB. foreigners are patient when a Chinese makes mistakes in conversationC. Chinese students should speak more to improve their spoken EnglishD. foreigners are very good and polite listeners10. In practicing speaking, Chinese students should _____.A. pay no attention to the mistakes they makeB. take care of their mistakes and try to correct all of themC. focus more on making themselves understoodD. care more about the sentence structure and grammarPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Why do Westerners love their pets so much, almost as if they were their children? I suppose one reason is that for more than one hundred years many children's books in England and in America were animal stories. By this we mean stories that gave the animals human names, human voices, human emotions, and even faces that look almost human. Many of these stories taught a moral lesson, like honesty or kindness or hard work. My mother read animal stories to me as a child, and my wife and I read some of the same animal stories to my boys when they were small, and now they read animal stories to their children. Some are the same stories about dogs and cats and rabbits and horses. So children in America grow up with good feelings toward animals.Many families would like to have a purebred dog or cat. That is an animal whose parents come from a single kind of animal. But purebred animals are expensive. And those that are registered with a special dog or cat club are even more expensive since there is a written record of their ancestors for many generations. What often happens is that a family's first pet will come from some friend whose pet has had babies. Or they may get a pet from an animal shelter. Every city and many smaller towns have a humane society which cares for animals that are found and for animals which people no longer want. They try to find the owner of lost pets and to find homes for the others. Over the years my wife and I and our children have gotten some very nice dogs for our family from animal shelters, usually at no cost.But some families do not want a house dog or a house cat. They want an outside dog or cat. So the animal stays outsides the house most of the time. Special dog houses are made for such dogs to use, especially at night in the colder parts of North America.11. Why do Western people love their pets so much?A. Because they regard pets as their children.B. Because their children don't have many friends.C. Because they have leisure time and enough extra money.D. Because they are very much influenced by animal stories.12. Since they have heard a lot of animal stories, American children tend to be brought up to _____.A. love animals when they grow upB. live and play with animalsC. treat animals rudelyD. dislike animals13. A purebred dog refers to a dog ________.A. which is brought up by one familyB. which is bred in a pure housedog clubC. whose parents come from the same areaD. whose parents belong to the single kind of dog14. How do most American families often get their first pet?A.They buy it from a pet shop.B.They get it from their friendsC. They pick up one from the streets.D.They always get one from the animal shelter.15. Not all pets stay with their masters in the house all the time for ________.A. people think the dogs are dirtyB. they don't like dogs to stay in their masters' dog houseC.it's good for them to stay outsideD. some people don't want to keep a house dog or a house catPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Nancy got a job as a secretary in a big company. She was going to work in the Sales Department. Monday was the first day she came to work. She was very excited and she arrived early at the office. She pushed the door open and was surprised to find a large bunch of fresh flowers on the desk. “Oh, how lovely! Somebody sent me flowers the very fi rst day!〞She thought happily. “But who could it be?〞The day passed quickly and Nancy did everything well.And every Monday morning she came to her office, she would see a new bunch of flowers there.
