When viewed from the Schuylkill Expressway in Philadelphia, St. John’s Church presents a picture of dignity and grace. This gray-stoned beauty surrounded by a park made a wonderful setting for the wedding my wife and I attended in Manayunk.
At the church, I ran into an old friend? Casper Barrata, who happened to be assigned to the Mass (弥撒). Now 73, Casper was a brilliant and talented softball pitcher (投手) back in the Men’s Leagues of Philadelphia in the mid-60s. I didn’t recognize the now silver-haired fellow until my brother-in-law John Kay mentioned his name to me! After a very pleasant greeting and praising each other on how good the other was at playing the game back then, Casper asked if I remembered a letter of encouragement I had written to him back in 1964. It appeared that Casper fell on hard times pitching, as pitchers sometimes do, and he wasn’t pitching too well for a period of time. I didn’t recall the letter, but he said, “Yes, I still have it, and I continue to read it anytime things aren’t going too well.” He went on to say that he had read the letter many times over the past 40 years, and the situation always seemed to improve. I was speechless!
He continued, “You don’t remember?” I said, “Sadly, no, I don’t.” But I did ask if I could
have a copy of the letter. He said he would email it to me. After Casper finished work at Murphy’s wedding, we met on the steps of the church. Casper came up to me and presented the letter. He lived a block away from the church and ran home to get it after the Mass. The envelope had faded and turned yellow, and so was the letter inside. That letter had to be nearly 50 years old. In simple terms, the letter read:
These hard times are temporary: Maintain your passion for the game. Never quit and you will be back on top again shortly. Hang in there!
Casper Barrata once again became the best pitcher in the League and remained to be a thorn in our team’s side every time he pitched against us.
25. Why did the author go to the church?
A. To get married. B. To hold a wedding.
C. To attend a wedding. D. To meet his friend Casper Barrata.
26 What does the underlined sentence show in Paragraph 2?
A. The author was moved by Casper. B. The author wasn’t good at speaking.
C. The author admired Casper too much. D. The author didn’t recall the letter at all.
27. Why did Casper keep the letter for decades?
A. The letter was sent by his best friend.
B. The letter inspired him in his sport career.
C. The letter was written by a softball pitcher.
D. The letter helped him recall something in the past.

How many hours does it take to be fluent in English?
There are plenty of people in the UK for whom even basic English is a problem. According to the survey, 726,000 people in England and Wales said they could not speak English well, and another 138,000 said they did not speak it at all.
Ling, 40, who arrived five years ago from China, found it difficult to learn English. “When I came here I was pregnant and so I was at home for the next three years. It took me longer to learn as I was very busy with the children.” Eventually she was able to begin taking classes and now
speaks good conversational English. But even with classes, it can be a long process to pick up the language.
Age is the most important factor in language acquisition, acquisition, says Mila Vulchanova, professor of linguistics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. “There is a sensitive period in language learning, which is biologically determined, with an onset at birth and a decline around puberty. So the younger the immigrant, the better. Since this decline is only gradual, teenagers are at an advantage over adults,” he says.
There are a number of systems for grading English. The government expects immigrants to reach “ESOL Entry 3” or “B1 level” in Scotland, before they can be granted citizenship. It’s equivalent (相当的) to being able to hold a confident conversation and — it might take 360 hours of study to achieve.
George Osborne said in June following the spending review that welfare claimants (申请者) who don’t speak English will have their benefits cut if they fail to attend language courses.
Huan Japes, deputy chief executive of English UK, a trade body for language colleges, says a rule of thumb is 360 hours — 120 hours for each of three stages — to get to the standard the government expects benefit claimants to reach.
But many of the people who attend courses are visiting students rather than people settling in the UK. Immigrants tend to have very varied levels of education.
“Using 120 hours [for each stage of English fluency] is a rather traditional approach to course book learning,” says Dr Elaine Boyd, head of English language at Trinity College London. “If someone is really highly motivated, they can learn really quickly. It’s common for children under the age of 11 to be very immersed and be fluent in about six months.”
28 The example of Ling is given to show that .
A. it’s important to speak fluent English
B. many immigrants attend English classes
C. it’s difficult to learn English well
D. many immigrants can’t speak English in England
29. What does Mila Vulchanova mainly stress?
A. The necessity of working hard at English.
B. The function of the sensitive period.
C. The advantages of children’s learning English.
D. The importance of starting learning English early.
30. What Dr Elaine Boyd says suggests that .
A. 120 hours is a standard that is a little low
B. 120 hours is a standard that is too high
C. English fluency can be easily achieved
D. English fluency can hardly be achieved
31. The author develops the passage mainly by .
A. using survey data
B. using experts’ views
C. giving examples of English learners
D. listing the facts of English learning
D
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?
In a recent Wall Street Journal article, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that, within a decade or so, we’ll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with built - in microphones. That’s because technological progress is extremely rapid. It’s only a matter of time. Indeed, some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they’re wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.
It’s true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “No es bueno dormir mucho” as “It’s not good to sleep too much.” Replacing a word with its equivalent (同义词) in the target language is actually the “easy part” of a translator’s job. But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.
It’s so difficult for computers because translation doesn’t - or shouldn’t - involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it’s about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.
Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression： volume，gesture, situation, and even your culture. All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.
Therefore, we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us. If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better? Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.
32. What does the underlined word “imminent” in Paragraph 2probably mean?
A. Ready. B. Approaching. C. Helpful. D. Advanced.
33. What view does the author hold about translation?
A. Proper translation can be tough for humans.
B. Slight distinctions matter little in translation.
C. Some machines will interpret our world properly.
D. Cultures deserve more attention than words used.
34. What is the best title for the text?
A. An Expert’s Precise Prediction
B. The Complexity of Translation
C. Who Will Be a Better Translator
D. Will Language Barrier Actually Fall
35. What is the author’s attitude the modem technology?
A. Unclear B. Objective C. Optimistic D. Negative.

Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 36 Trust is a risk. But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore. 37 It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
• 38 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.
• 39 If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated.
• You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 40 Instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
A. Learn to really trust yourself.
B. It is putting confidence in someone.
C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D. Remember that you can expect the best in return.
E. They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again.
F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened.

It is excited to visit different places. As you travel, you will see beautiful sceneries and you can meet and make friends with people of different colors and races. Besides, you can get to know the customs and living habits of the local people. Today people are very fond of traveling that tourism has become one of the fastest growing industries in most countries. The main reason that people travel is, perhaps, for pleasure. For example, having been worked hard throughout the weekdays, people will go on a trip to the nearby mountains or beaches to have a good rest. For another example, spending a holiday travel abroad is especially satisfying experience for those who do not have much chance to be away from their homelands. When people return back from their travel, they will generally feel fresh and energetic, ready to work harder. Travel is also one of the best means of learning. You may have read or hear about something, and you can never get an
accurate picture of it until you see it for yourself.

One Possible Version:
Dear Tom,
I’m Li Hua Thanks a lot for your invitation to your cultural exchange project. I really want to accept it and take this opportunity to introduce the traditional Chinese painting to foreign friends, but I’m sorry to tell you that I can’t. The reason is that I am occupied preparing myself for the coming College Entrance Examination.
I strongly recommended my friend Wang Wei, who is the most suitable person to take ray place next week. He began to team painting at an early age and has a good knowledge of the traditional Chinese painting, which, together with his active personality and perfect spoken English, will help make your activity a success.
Sorry again for any inconvenience caused by my absence.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Hua
