But for Calisto Grant, 11, a typical day might also include instruction in American Indian drumming and dancing. She studies the Ojibwa（oh-jib-way）and Lakota languages, too, and enjoys school powwows.Calisto goes to the American Indian Magnet School（AIMS）, in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It is open to kids in pre-K to grade 8.Although other U.S. schools teach American Indian culture, the teachers at AIMS say their school is unique. They connect lessons to American Indian culture. When students learn about plant life cycles in science, they also learn about how Native people used herbs for ceremonies and healing. A language arts class may include a reading about the meaning of jingle dresses. Calisto says the focus on American Indian culture helps everyone know that “the culture is still alive.”Calisto is Cherokee and Ojibwa. Of the 680 students at AIMS, only one-quarter are American Indian. It is a public school that is open to all kids in the community. All students gain from the school’s focus. “It’s important for everyone to know about the people who were here first and that they still live here today,” says teacher Tamara Goggle. Lessons give all students a chance to explore their heritage.Calisto represents the school at powwows and other events. She is proud to teach others about her history. “An Ojibwa prophecy says that we might lose our culture if we don’t show it to our kids,” Calisto says. “Kids need to help pass down our culture, or it could go away.” AIMS and Calisto are working to make sure that won’t happen.The president of the school AIMS, Mr. Philips says they will go down this road with sincerity and determination, which is thought valuable by experts.56．In what way are Calisto Grant’s school days different from other kids? ________A．She studies math and science.B．She draws English paintings.C．She practices dancing and drumming.D．She learns American Indian languages.57．What can we infer from the third paragraph? ________A．Teachers at AIMS are proud of their school.B．AIMS don’t teach American Indian culture.C．Students are mostly interested in language arts.D．American Indian culture is being neglected by others.58．What do we know about the school AIMS? ________A．It provides free schooling for kids nearby.B．It focuses on American history development.C．It helps students to explore their heritage.D．It proves the existence of American Indians.59．What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph but one refer to? ________A．Ojibwa culture’s going away. B．Forgetting her own history.C．Showing her culture to kids. D．Passing down her culture.60．What can we learn from this text? ________A．Calisto Grant is different from other students.B．American Indian culture is a popular culture.C．The school AIMS is doing a worthwhile thing.D．It takes time for students to love the special culture.CLast year, I called emergency services because I found my partner unconscious on the floor. Within minutes, a police car and ambulance arrived, filled with police, doctors and nurses who moved my partner away to the emergency department, where he received the critical care that he needed.A week later, still marveling at the impact of a handful of strangers, I wrote thank-you notes to those helpful police and doctors and nurses and baked for them. It was a small gesture with a big impact. When I dropped off cakes at the police and fire stations, they thanked me for the gifts. I drove away feeling light and happy, partly because I’d done a good deed, but mostly because I was amazed that there are selfless people who do life-saving work and expect nothing in return. Research has shown that sharing thoughts of gratitude and performing acts of kindness can boost your mood and have other positive effects on your health.When you feel thankful for things you’ve received or something that’s happened, that’s gratitude. It’s impossible to feel it in a vacuum; others are always responsible, whether they’re loved ones, strangers or a higher power. “Gratitude is how you relate to others, when you see yourself in connection with things larger than yourself,” Ruch says.Today, many people don’t stop to appreciate what they have, much less express gratitude. Our instant-gratification lifestyle may be to blame.“With commercial and social media, everything is speeding the younger generation to make them feel that they are the center of the universe,” says Tamiko Zablith, founder of the London-based etiquette consulting firm Minding Manners. “If it’s all about them, why thank others?”Why not thank others? Studies have shown that people who express gratitude increase their happiness levels, lower their blood pressure levels, get better quality sleep, improve their relationships, have a positive impact on their depression levels and are less affected by pain.Because gratitude is a fairly new field of study, researchers are still trying to identify its cause-and-effect relationship with various health benefits.61．The author’s partner was saved largely due to ________A．his good luck B．the rescuers’ joint effortsC．the author’s immediate reaction D．his receiving good treatment62．Which of the following sentences has the similar meaning with the underlined sentence? ________A．To help others out is a virtue to everyone.B．Helping others will benefit yourself as well.C．Casual help will make a big difference to others.D．Don’t miss doing any good thing however insignificant it is.63．The first two paragraphs serve as ________A．an introduction to the topic of the textB．a description of his partners’ being savedC．an explanation of the police’s personal valuesD．a way of expressing the author’s gratitude64．What can we learn from this text? ________A．Many people are willing to express their gratitude.B．The gratitude training should be carried out at an early age.C．Saying thank-you can have positive effects on your physical and mental health.D．Researchers have known the relationship between gratitude and health benefits.65．Which could be the best title of this text? ________A．The power of gratitude B．My passion for gratitudeC．My partner’s rescue D．People’s attitude to gratitudeDA New study by the British government has discovered the mental well-being of the country’s teenage girls has worsened.The survey, which included 30,000 14-year-old students in 2005 and 2014, showed 37 percent of girls with psychological stress, up from 34 percent in 2005.British boys’ stress level was actually seen to fall over the same time period, from 17 percent to 15 percent. The report’s authors pointed out the “advent of the social media age”could be a major contributing factor for increasing stress among teenage British girls.“The adolescent years are a time of rapid physical, cognitive and emotional development,” Pam Rams den, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom, wrote in a recent blog post. “Teenagers interact with people in order to learn how to become competent adults. In the past, they would engage with parents,teachers and other adults in their community as well as extended family members and friends. Now we can also add social media to that list of social and emotional development.”Throughout adolescence, girls and boys develop characteristics like confidence and self-control. Since teenage brains have not completely developed, teens don’t have the cognitive awareness and impulse control to keep from posting inappropriate content. Furthermore, this content can easily be circulated far and wide with disastrous implications.Social media can also feed into girls’ insecurities about their appearance, Rams den said. These sites are often filled with images of people with body type unattainable to the normal person. However, these images and the messages tied to them creep into social standards.“Social media allows girls to make comparisons among friends as well as celebrities and then provides them with solutions such as extreme dieting tips and workouts to reach their goals,” Rams den said. “Concerns about body image can negatively impact their quality of life preventing them from having healthy relationships and taking up time that could be better spent developing other aspects of their personalities.”66．How does the survey tell us the negative impact of social media? ________A．By making experiments. B．By raising a question.C．By making comparisons D．By analyzing causes and effects.67．According to Pam Rams den, we can know ________A．teenagers hate sharing their thoughts with people aroundB．teenagers’ mental health has nothing with social mediaC．teenagers will not post improper content on the InternetD．the ways of teenagers’ interaction with people have changed68．What is Rams den’s attitude toward the images with fine body shape? ________A．Supportive. B．Indifferent. C．Critical. D．Concerned.69．According to the last paragraph, it is necessary for teenagers ________A．to get rid of the bad effects of social media.B．to follow the celebrities’ exampleC．to be concerned about their body imageD．to make comparisons among friends70．What does this text mainly tell us? ________A．The well-being of teenagers in Britain.B．The social media’s negative effect on teenagers.C．The development of teenagers in Britain.D．How to interact with teenagers in Britain.第Ⅱ卷第四部分:写作第一节:阅读表达（共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分）阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题.John D.

In fact, most children outside of the United States are expected to become bilingual or even, in many cases, multilingual. Globally, knowing more than one language is viewed as an asset (资产) and even a ___45___ in many areas.It is also of concern that the misguided advice that students should speak only English is given ___46___ to poor families with limited educational opportunities, not to wealthier families who have many educational advantages. Since children from poor families often are ___47___ as at-risk for academic failure, teachers believe that advising families to speak English only is appropriate. Teachers consider learning two languages to be too ___48___ for children from poor families, believing that the children are already burdened by their home situations.If families do not know English or have limited English skills themselves, how can they communicate in English? Advising non-English-speaking families to speak only English is ___49___ to telling them not to communicate with or ___50___ with their children. Moreover, the underlying message is that the family’s native language is not important or valued.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A （15分）Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.In the increasingly busier world where productivity is on the minds of many, instead of downloading the latest time management app, or forcing yourself to stay at work for hours on end, is there a(n) ___51___ to being productive?The first thing we should know is that willpower is a(n) ___52___ source that can be entirely used up. So instead of ___53___ yourself to simply try harder, amore methodical approach is suggested.The first step: Get started! It may seem ___54___ but studies have shown starting a project to be the biggest barrier to productivity. Before starting, our brain visualizes the hardest parts to come, and instead tries to simulate real work by focusing on small mindless tasks.___55___, there’s construct of the mind known as the Zeigernik Effect (蔡格尼克效应), which helps humans to finish a task that the y’ve already started. The Zeigernik Effect shows that when we don’t finish a task, we experience ___56___ and intrusive thoughts about it. So get started.Now what about time management? Shockingly, when we look at most of the elite musicians in the world, we find that they aren’t ___57___ practicing more. Instead, they focus their energy on the hardest task. Those musicians have periods of intense work followed by breaks. Not relying on willpower, they rely on their ___58___ and disciplined scheduling. Studies have found that most elite violinists generally follow a 90 minute work rule with a 15 to 20 minute break afterwards every day. But how can you develop the discipline to follow this ___59___?One key point is giving yourself a deadline; write it down; mark it in yourcalendar. And you’ll be much more likely to complete your task. On top of this, create something called an accountability (问责制) chart to ___60___ your progress. In one column write the time span, and in the other the activities you accomplished during this time, ___61___ those on a diet who record their food intake.Writing down your progress allows you to ___62___ evaluate your work. As opposed to inaccurately assuming what you’ve done, further ___63___ your progress to the end helps to avoid small mindless work.And finally, stop multitasking. Well it may feel like you’re accomplishing more. But actually, studies show that multi-taskers are much less ___64___. Instead, try and make a list at night of what you want to accomplish tomorrow. With your action plan, you ___65___ the idea of trying to complete multiple activities at once.Your brain will find these less challenging. And it will make the starting process easier. With a clear goal and action plan in mind, your productivity levels can soar to new heights.51. A. room B. secret C. attitude D.origin52. A. outstanding B. inevitable C. exhaustible D. essential53.

A. stick to B. face up to C. decide on D. get rid ofSection B （24分）Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is Followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys on this topic suggest that parents today continueto be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that T oday’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the impulse to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents -- today’s grandparents - would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that collegestudents are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.66. The surveys inform us of ____________.A. the conditions of college dormitoriesB. the sign of parent’s management in thei r own behaviorsC. the development of communication technologyD. the parents’ over-protection of their college children67. Which of the following statement does the author most probably agree with?A. Technology explains greater parental involvement with their children.B. Parents’ changed attitudes lead to college children’s delayed independence.C. Parents today are less protective than those in the past.D. The disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages.68. What is the meaning of the word “impulse” in this passage?A. Desperation.B. Admiration.C. Urge.D. Depression.69. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Dependence or Independence.B. Technology or Attitude.C. Family Influence or Social Changes.D. College Management or Communication Advancement.(B)Spanish-American InstituteStudent Cub NotesFree and Low Cost Gyms, Health Clubs and PoolsNYC Department of Parks Recreation CentersRecreation Centers: The NYC Department of Parks hasmany Recreation Centers throughout New York City.

The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant（授权令）if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.California has asked the justices to restore the practice that the police may search through the contents of suspects’ smartphones at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state says, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies.The justices would be careless if they followed California’s advice. They should start by rejecting California’s weak argument that exploring the contents of a smart pho ne is similar to say, going through a suspect’s wallet. The court has ruled that police don’t offend against the Fourth Amendment（修正案）when they go through the wallet, of an arrestee without a warrant. In fact, exploring one’s smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain an arrestee’s readinghistory, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence.Americans should take steps to protect their own digital privacy and should avoid putting important information in smartphones. But keeping sensitive information on these devices is increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private documents to remain private and protected by the Constitution’s prohibition on unreasonable searches.In many cases, it would not be very difficult for authorities to obtain a warrant to search through phone contents. They could still trump（打出王牌）the Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe and dangerous circumstances, such as the threat of immediate harm, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not deleted or altered while a warrant is on the way. The justices, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where they are entitled to more flexibility.But the justices should not swallow California’s argument whole. New technology sometimes demands fresh a pplications of the Constitution’s protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital informationin the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a digital necessity of life in the 20th. At that time, the justices had to explain new rules for the new personal domain（领域）of cars. Similarly, the justices must sort out how the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution applies to digital information now.73. The Supreme Court will work out whether, during an arrest, it is legal to ____________.A. search for suspects’ mobile phones without a warrantB. check suspects’ phone contents without being authorizedC. prevent suspects from deleting their phone contentsD. prohibit suspects from using their mobile phones74. The author’s attitude toward California’s argument is one of ____________.A. toleranceB. indifferenceC. disapprovalD. carefulness75. The author believes that exploring one’s phone content is comparable to ____________.A. gettin g into one’s residenceB. handing one’s historical recordsC. scanning one’s correspondencesD. going through one’s wallet76. In Paragraph 4 and 5, the author shows his concern that ____________.A. principles are hard to be clearly expressedB. the court is giving police less room for actionC. phones are used to store sensitive informationD. citizens’ privacy is not effect ively protected77. Orin Kerr’s comparison is quoted to indicate that ____________.A. the Constitution should be carried out flexiblyB. New technology also requires reinterpretation of the ConstitutionC. California’s argument goes against principles of the ConstitutionD. Principles of the Constitution should never be alteredSection C （8分）Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth.There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual himself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence. Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in a school, eliminates all envy and competition in the matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing is not to be belittled by a wealthy person who wears expensive quality clothing. Those persons conveniently ignore such concepts as freedom of choice and individuality. It is only a short step from forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of foods. When this happens, all motivation to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hardso that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had?Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly. Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Sales persons would be superfluous as well; why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry, which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. One entire information and entertainment industry would collapse.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78. Wearing a uniform costs the individual __________________________________.79. What does the author think of an organization that is weak and has to dependon uniforms to encourage its members?_________________________________________________________________.80. Why does the author disagree with those believing that wearing uniformseliminates all jealousy and competition?_________________________________________________________________.81. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, in terms of industry besides advertisingand promotion, _______________________________________________ would be affected.第Ⅱ卷（47分）I.

But with her 21 voice the judges were not sure if she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and 22 decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had 23 the word, but instead of lying, she told the truth that she had said the 24 letter—so she lost the contest.As the girl walked off the 25 , the entire audience stood to their feet, clapping to applaud her ___26__. Later, dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s honesty, even when it 27 her the contest. But the fact is that she 28 the biggest contest that day; the contest of her 29 .Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is what we should do if we knew we would never get 30 . This young girl could easily have 31 and nobody would have known it but herself. But that’s just it; She would know she did wrong. It’s been said, ”If you32 , you make yourself cheap. ” This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own33 and character more than the prize from a spelling 34 . Her respect for herself was more important than any 35 others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the 36 she made in that moment will have long-lasting influence.It's so true that the choices you make today 37 what you are tomorrow.

There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers . Very few people were still out. except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.About a block from my apartment , I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more, and I ran out of the door and back to where I'dheard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pulled up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.41. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?A. Cold and sick.B. Fortunate and helpful.C. Satisfied and cheerful.D. Disappointed and helpless.42.

Her wallet was found in a garbage truck.45. From the text, we can infer that the writer _____.A. would stop working at nightB. would stay on in San FranciscoC. would make friends with cleanersD. would give up her job at the bankBBrazil has become one of the developing world's great successes at reducing population growth but more by accident than design．While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil had better results without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard．Brazil's population growth rate dropped from 2.99％ a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1.93％a year between 1981and 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2.7 children on average．Martine says this figure may have fallen still further since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries．Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas and installment(分期付款)plans introduced in the 1970s．Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate．Brazil is one of the world’s biggest producers of soap operas．Globl, Brazil’s most popul ar television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night．Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities．Although they have never really tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction(生育), they describe middle and upper class values：not many children, women working, says Martine．They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious of other patterns of behavior and other values, which were put into a very attractive package．Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers．“This led to an enormous change in consumption(消费)patterns and consumption was incompatible(不相容的)with unlimited reproduction,”sa ys Martine．46.According to the passage, Brazil has lowered its population growth ________．A．by educating its citizensB．by careful family planningC．by developing TV programsD．by chance47.According to the passage, many Third World countries ________．A．haven’t given much attention to birth controlB．would soon join Brazil in controlling their birth rateC．haven’t yet found an effective measure to control their populationD．haven’t realized the importance of TV plays in family planning48.The underlined phrase in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to________.A.considers it was caused byB.sums it up asC.finds it a reason forpares it to49.Soap operas have helped in lowering Brazil’s birth rate because ________．A．They keep people sitting long hours watching TVB．They have gradually changed people’s way of lifeC．People are drawn to their attractive packageD．They popularize birth control measures50.What is Martine’s conclusion about Brazil’s population growth?A．The increase in birth rate will increase consumption．B．The desire for consumption helps to reduce birth rate．C．Consumption goes with reproduction．D．A country’s production is limited by its population growth．CSome people say that friendship is the only channel through which human beings can ever experience the value of life. In our daily life, it is likely that you share some common interests with others—they may like the same sport, go to the same school or like the same kind of music as you do. Since you often meet them, they become your acquaintances. Although some people develop many acquaintances, only a few become their good friends in their lifetime because there are differences between acquaintances and friends.It is said that true friendship begins when someone knows what you are really like, but still likes you anyway. A true friend shows loyalty from the very beginning of the relationship. A friend will go through challenges to help you without expecting anything in return. A“friend”today may probably become a“true friend” tomorrow when they get involved in unexpected circumstances together with you—for example, when you are going through a difficult experience and yourfriend is there to help you out. However, some acquaintances might leave you when you badly need their help. At this time, you can experience what true friendship is.In our life, some people seem to go through life with plenty of friends. They may be funny or they may have a bright and pleasant personality. For these people, wherever they go, people seem to like them and welcome their company. But when they go through challenging life experiences, some of their friends are not there to help them. Therefore we can say some of their friends are not real friends and their friendship is just skin-deep.However, others seem to go through life with no friends at all. They like to be alone, to travel by themselves or to do their own thing. It’s a pity that few of these people find success in life because they have no friends. They lack the best gift in life—friendship. 51. Which of the following statements about acquaintances is TRUE?A. They have all of the same interests as you do.B. You seldom meet them in your life.C. They are sure to become your good friends.D. Not all of them can become your friends.52. According to the passage you may get to know the meaning of friendship better whenyou_______.A. go to the same school as your friendB. get into troubleC.enjoy the same kind of music as your friendD. see your friend often53.We know from the passage that_______.A.it doesn't matter if one has friends or not.B.people with bright personality are easy to have friends.C.people without friends are always unhappy.D.it's easier to lose a friend than get one.54. What does the underlined word ”ski n-deep” in the third paragraph mean?A. Very deep.B. Not deep at allC. As precious as skinD. Hidden under the skin55. What’s the writer’s attitude towards people without friends in their life?A. InterestedB. AngryC. HopefulD. RegretfulⅤ.选词填空（10%）（根据句子含义选择正确的单词或短语，并用其适当形式填空）56.

It is more than two months since our English Club was set up by several classmates and me. On behalf of my classmates, I’d like to talk a bout something about our club.So far we have conducted a variety of activities on English learning, such as w atching English films, reading classic Englis h no vels, holding a Christmas party and so on. Every member took an active part in the activities. Many members said the activities benefited them a lot. Not only did they improve their English, but also they brought them much fun. Personally, I think it is really a good idea to set up the club.It is hoped that our club is growing stronger and more mature. And welcome more classmates to the club.That’s all. Thank you.。
