10、g across the world. What do you think? Should this way of teaching be encouraged?Ted M (UK)Online education is not new. It has been found effective in many countries where access(进入) to schools is difficult. It lacks the opportunity for social learning of course, but in most systems there are weeken

11、d, summer and winter “camps” where students can arrange to meet and interact with others as part of the courses. Such education is valuable for remote(远程的) learning in inaccessible regions.Linda (China)I find that children today spend less and less time playing outdoors than we did when we were youn

12、g. We have the technology to enable us to teach students to learn with an amazing variety of resources but I do hope not at the cost of losing their childhood.- 4 -Breathing (Canada)I think education is not about learning or gathering only textbook knowledge. Its about communicating with others, dis

13、cussing, group work etc. Online education means distance education. At present it is spread all over the world. It has some good results too. But I like face-to-face education. It helps a student to build up his or her mental and physical strength besides textbook knowledge.Jimmy (US)It really depen

So long as you have the ability to learn on your own.Sunny (Australia)Online schools offer students with customized learning and help them gain access to courses that may

18、cher in Japan.I came to Japan two years ago, and didnt think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People all end up living here longer than they planned. I think its best to teach in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teacher

19、s often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But Id say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.I teach English priva

20、tely, which means Im my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, its well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule of private lessons, so

21、 I started out teaching in schools part time.Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on. But whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.The schools are reluctant to take time off even teac

According to the writer, whether one can save money depends on _.A. how many students you teach B. how much traveling you doC. how much going out you do D. both B and C27. The underlined word “reluctant” i

24、n the passage may probably mean _.- 6 -A. kind B. unwilling C. free D. carelessCGetting rid of dirt, in the opinion of most people, is a good thing. However, there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out diseas

25、e, as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in. A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths. By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom. So did the king of England in 1546. Thus began a long time when the ri

26、ch and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way. Henry IV, King of France, was famously dirty. When learning that a nobleman(贵族) had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not go out.Though the belief in the value of dirt was long-lived,

27、dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18th century. Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health. Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease. Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since W

28、orld War. Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine. Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays. Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt,

29、 which might be responsible for the spread of disease. On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an American immunologist(免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune(免疫) system. And the latter position is gaining some ground(根据).28. The kings of France and England in the 16th cen

30、tury closed bath houses because .A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment.- 7 -B. they believed disease could be spread in public baths. C. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in.D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease.29. Which of the following best describes Henry

31、 IVs attitude to bathing?A. Uninterested. B. Curious. C. Supportive. D. Afraid. 30. How does the passage mainly develop?A. By providing examples. B. By following the order of time.C. By making comparisons. D. By following the order of importance.31. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage

32、?A. To stress the role of dirt.B. To introduce the history of dirt.C. To show the change of views on dirt.D. To call attention to the danger of dirt.DWe do not usually think about how our language works. Talking is such a natural, everyday activity that we do not often stop to think how it actually

33、works. When we do study our language, though, we are often surprised that we are able to understand our conversations. Words can mean so many different things. However, it turns out that the speaking situation helps a lot in making language work.First, the speaking situation helps make words more pa

34、rticular. For example, the word “dog” can describe a dog that a speaker saw in a dream. It can also be used to discuss a neighbors dog. No language has a separate word for the idea “dog that I saw yesterday” and another word for the idea “dog that I saw in a dream”. This is because the speaking situ

35、ation makes it clear what speakers mean when they use words. So, when you have a conversation with your neighbor, the knowledge that you have a dog tells your neighbor what the word “dog” probably means in that situation.The speaking situation also helps make language clearer. For example, the word

36、“bank” has two possible meanings. It can mean “a place where people - 8 -keep money”, but it can also mean “the side of a river”. So the sentence “I went to the bank” is not clear. It could mean I went to the place where my money is kept. However, if the speaker is talking about fishing or going to

37、the mountains, others probably know that “bank” means “the side of a river”.The things that speakers say may not always be clear. Sometimes the words are not very particular, but the speaking situation can provide the meaning. Other times words may have many meanings. Then the speaking situation lim

38、its the right meaning. This extra knowledge from the situation is very important to understand language.32. The passage is mainly about_.A. The best time and place to talk to othersB. How the speaking situation helps language workC. What to say in difficult situationD. How our language works33. What

39、 does the word “bank” mean if a speaker is talking about money?A. A place where money is kept.B. A supermarket to buy all kinds of goods.C. A mountain for hunting.D. The side of a river with many people fishing.34. By using the example of the word “dog”, the author wants to show that_.A. a word may

40、need to be explained in a conversationB. a word may have different meaningsC. the speaking situation helps people understand the particular meaning of a wordD. the meaning of words is not particular35. Where can we find this passage?A. A piece of news B. A science novelC. A fashion magazine D. An ar

41、ticle about language use第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 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。选项中有两项为多余- 9 -选项。Secret codes (密码)keep messages private. Banks, companies, and govern-ment agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for

42、 thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后 ) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet

43、 me.”38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Lets number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we replace a number with each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 20 13 5.”A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the messa

44、ge of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.” 40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.A. It is very har

45、d to break a code without the code book.B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message.D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it

46、 out.F.With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.G.Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letter of the alphabet.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 30 分）- 10 -第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 20 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项

47、涂黑。Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the Developing World. But the 41 is that homelessness is everywhere.
