But her heart was never in it. “I had a big salary but no personal satisfaction,” she says.Jessica found pleasure in the same thing that had brought her joy since joining the church choir at the age of 12. “Singing always felt like communicating somet hing real at a spiritual and emotional level,” says Jessica. Yet she never considered it a career option.” That seemed like something people did in fairy tales, and I would never let my parents down.” She says.It was her mom's diagnosis of brain cancer in 2009 that made Jessica realize she had to write her own happy-ever-after.” Work was busy and my mother was ailing. So I was flying back and forth from Washington, DC to Houston to see her,” Jessica says. “I finally said, “ enough!” and quit.” While caring for her mom, Jessica made a plan. She would spend her savings and study music for a year, and then open a part-time law practice so she could pursue her passion. Before her mother passed away two years later, she encouraged Jessica to follow her dream. Her song Live This Life was inspired by her mom, and her dad came to watch her perform at clubs.In 2012, Jessica moved to Nashville to try singing and songwriting. A decade of presenting cases in court gave her the confidence to sing for a crowd. “At 20, I would have been too shy to perform,” says Jessica.“Doing music is so free.” Jessica says. “There's no pressure to be a star.

The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varietiesof the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an enough working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present－day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.1. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The Difficulties of Learning EnglishB．International CommunicationsC．The Standard Varieties of EnglishD．English as a World Language2. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.B．There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.C．It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.D．People learn English for a variety of reasons.3. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?A．It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.B．It is used in former British colonies.C．It serves the needs of its native speakers.D．It is a world language that is used for international communication.4.

1. Summer ActivitiesStudents should read the list with their parents/carers, and select two activities they would like to do． Forms will be available in school and online for them to indicate their choices and return to school． Before choices are finalised, parents/carers will be asked to sign to confirm their child's choices．（1）Which activity will you choose if you want to go camping？________A.WBP．B.OUT．C. F.POT．．D.CR（2）What will the students do on Tuesday with Mrs． Wilson？________A.See a parade and fireworks．B.Travel to London．C.Visit the WWI battlefields．．D.Tour Central Paris．（3）How long does Potty about Potter last？________A.Four days．B.Two days．C.One week．D.Five days．2.Many of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia's fields are little power houses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein（蛋白质）, iron and zinc（not that fruits have much protein）. Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants（抗氧化物质）. The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries（樱桃）, they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat "ice cream". For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a "soft-serve" creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children's party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.（1）What does the author seem to like about cherries?A.They are high in vitamin A.B.They contain protein.C.They are rich in antioxidants.D.They have a pleasant taste.（2）Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A.To keep their colour.B.To make them smell better.C.To improve their nutrition.D.To speed up their ripening.（3）What is "a juicer" in the last paragraph?A.A drink.B.A dessert.C.A machine.D.A container.（4）From which is the text probably taken?A.A health magazine.B.A biology textbook.C.A travel brochure.D.A research paper.3.Teens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday.While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children's lives, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading.According to the report's key findings, "the proportion（比例）who say they 'hardly ever' read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today."The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same. But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel（建议）parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom（逼近）ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.（1）What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A.Quality of children's books.B.Children's reading habits.C.Parent-child relationships.D.Children's after-class activities.（2）Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot less for fun"?A.In paragraph 3.B.In paragraph 2.C.In paragraph 5.D.In paragraph 4.（3）Why do many parents limit electronic reading?A.It could be waste of time.B.E-books are of poor quality.C.E-readers are expensive.D.It may harm children's health.（4）How should parents encourage their children to read more? A.Ask them to write book reports.B.Act as role models for them.C.Talk with their reading class teachers.D.Set up reading groups for them.4.We've all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.What's the problem? It's possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It's more likely that none of us start a conversation because it's awkward and challenging, or we think it's annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it's an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can't forget that deep relationships wouldn't even exist if it weren't for casual conversation. Small talk is the grease（润滑剂）for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. "Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk," he explains. "The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them."In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction（互动）with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. "It's not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband," says Dunn. "But interactions with peripheral（边缘的）members of our social network matter for our well-being also."Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk."Small talk is the basis of good manners," he says.（1）What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A.Inappropriate behaviours in public places.B.Addiction to smartphones.C.Impatience with slow service.D.Absence of communication between strangers.（2）What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci?A.Relating to other people.B.Showing good manners.C.Making business deals.D.Focusing on a topic.（3）What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk?A.It raises people's confidence.B.It improves family relationships.C.It makes people feel good.D.It matters as much as a formal talk.（4）What is the best title for the text?A.Ways of Making Small TalkB.Conversation CountsC.Uncomfortable SilenceD.Benefits of Small Talk第二节（共1小题；每小题10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。
