Ⅲ.閱讀了解
A
There are a growing number of language immersion (沉浸) schools in the United States, including one that was founded in Columbia called La Petite Ecole, which teaches children French as a second language. Statistics, however, show that language instruction in regular schools is actually decreasing, and relatively few Americans know a second language.
Scholars have spent years studying why Americans seem to ignore the importance of learning languages. While they have developed theories and given potential solutions, the future of language learning in the United States remains hazy.
Since 1997, the percentage of elementary and middle schools that offer foreign language courses has fallen significantly, from 31 percent to 25 percent at the elementary level and from 75 percent to 58 percent at the middle school level. However, the decline in elementary schools has appeared primarily in public schools, while the percentage of private elementary schools teaching foreign languages has remained roughly the same at 51 percent. The percentage of high schools teaching foreign languages has remained at about 91 percent.
Meanwhile, the number of language immersion schools designed to teach a second language to Englishspeaking children and young adults has actually increased. Since 1962, 367 twoway immersion programs—schools that pair native English speakers with those who speak another native language—have developed in 28 states.
“The younger the learner is, the more likely the acquisition of a second language will be facilitated，” Adel Safty wrote in the Canadian Journal of Education. Linguistic ability shows the greatest development between the ages of 4 and 8, she wrote.
While the number of people who speak a language other than English at home is still relatively small, it has more than doubled over the past 30 years, according to a survey released in April.
People between 18 and 40 make up the largest percentage of people who speak a foreign language. The 5 to 17 age group follows closely. But, among those 41 and older, the percentage of people who speak a second language decreases.
文章大意：學習外語似乎已經成為了一個全球化的熱潮，在美國是一種什麼情況呢？
1．What does the passage mainly deal with?
A．The situation of Americans learning foreign languages.
B．Why Americans don't like learning foreign languages.
C．The importance of learning foreign languages.
D．Suggestions for learning foreign languages.
答案：A 主旨大意題。文章主要剖析了美國人學外語的現狀。
2．The underlined word “hazy” in the second paragraph probably means “________”．
A．unimportant B．uncertain
C．impossible D．impolite
答案：B 詞義猜測題。前文提到外語學習的形勢不容樂觀，此處又說明雖然學者們提出了一些解決方法，但是前景應該仍然“不好、不确定”。
3．According to Adel Salty, ________.
A．people should begin to study foreign languages after age 8
B．learners who have a friend to help them study a language better
C．age has a big effect on people's ability to learn a foreign language
D．people's linguistic ability grows with their age and experience
答案：C 推理判斷題。從第五段的“The younger the learner is, the more likely the acquisition of a second language will be facilitated”可知Adel Safty認為學習外語的能力會受到的年齡的很大影響。
4．We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．the percentage of public elementary schools teaching foreign languages has increased since 1997
B．the percentage of high schools teaching foreign languages has decreased since 1997
C．the number of language immersion schools designed to teach a second language has decreased since 1962
D．the number of people who speak a language other than English at home has increased since 30 years ago
答案：D 細節了解題。從第六段的“While the number of people who speak a language other than English at home is still relatively small, it has more than doubled over the past 30 years”可知D項正确。
5．Which group has the highest percentage of people who speak a foreign language?
A．People between 4 and 8.
B．People between 5 and 17.
C．People between 18 and 40.
D．People who are 41 and older.
答案：C 細節了解題。從最後一段的“People between 18 and 40 make up the largest percentage of people who speak a foreign language.”可知C項正确。
B
Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their pets are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.
Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you're cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of nonfrozen water.
If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet's water. Sometimes owners don't realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can't get anything to drink. Animals that don't have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.
6. What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?
A. They are often forgotten by their owners.
B. They are used to living outdoors.
C. They build their own shelters.
D. They like to stay in warm places.
答案：D 細節了解題。由第一段第二句“Sometimes owners forget that their pets are just as used to the warm shelter...”可知寵物也喜歡待在溫暖的地方，故選D項。
7. Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?
A. To know when to bring them inside.
B. To keep them from eating bad food.
C. To help them find shelters.
D. To keep them pany.
答案：A 推理判斷題。由第二段第二、三句可知，如果你必須把寵物帶出去，那就要和寵物待在一起，這樣當你感到冷，需要進入室内的時候，寵物也一樣。由此可推出答案為A項。
8. If pets are left on their own outdoors in cold weather, they may ________.
A. run short of clean water
B. dig deep holes for fun
C. dirty the snow nearby
D. get lost in the wild
答案：A 細節了解題。由第三段可知，在寒冷的天氣裡，當寵物被單獨留在室外的時候，寵物可能喝不到幹淨而且未結冰的水。故選A項。
9．What is the purpose of this text?
A．To solve a problem.
B．To give practical advice.
C．To tell an interesting story.
D．To present a research result.
答案：B 推理判斷題。由第一段最後一句可知本文主要是給讀者提一些實用的建議。故選B項。

參考譯文：
How are things going? In your last letter you talked about low carbon life. Now I'd like to share my understanding of it and my experience in the past few months.
With the environment problem ing into attention, it is extremely important that we take action to protect our pla. As more people are determined to make a difference, low carbon lifestyle provides us with the perfect opportunity to do it.
Interestingly, our school called on us students to develop a low carbon lifestyle and bee a responsible citizen several months ago. In response to the appeal, I have made some changs in my way of life, which range from transportation to water saving. For example, instead of asking my parents to drive me to school, I take a bus to and from school. Just like my schoolmates, I now refuse to use disposable chopsticks. At home, I even persuade my parents to reuse water, even though it is not so convenient. The TV and the puter are important entertainment for my family, but we sometimes read instead, which, I think, may help relieve the shortage of electricity.
I'm really glad to municate with you about this topic.
