Ⅱ.阅读理解

(2014·山东青岛中考)Some people can never be forgotten. That's because their names become common words. As many as 50，000 words in the English language get their meaning from people's names. Some are real people, others are characters in books or stories.
Often a new dish is given the name of its inventor. The Chinese dish Gongbao chicken was created in Sichuan Province by Ding Baozhen. He served the hot dish when he was governor(总督) of the province from 1876 to 1886. After Ding died, people named the dish for him.
The fisherman Willern Beukelz began to pickle(腌制) fish in the 14th century. His methods of pickling fish was widely used, but people didn't pronounce his name “Beukelz” correctly. Soon “pickles”became popular in many countries.
Granny Smith apples are named for Maria Ann Smith, a grandmother, Maria was born into a farm family in Britain in 1799 and married Thomas Smith at the age of 19. Then they moved to Australia. On their farm near Sydney, they grew apple trees. Their special kind of apple became known in Australia as a Granny Smith.
More than just foods take people's names. Many people enjoy riding on a Ferris wheel named for engineer George W．G. Ferris. He designed the first one for Chicago's World Columbian Exposition in 1893.
Scientific laws, disease(疾病), sports terms and places around the world also use people's names. You can't escape them, they're everywhere!

(2018·山东青岛市南二模)As an Englishman, I can speak three languages—English, German and French, so do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren't.
Some statistics(数据) from the survey done by the European Commission(欧盟委员会) showed that 62% of the British people only speak English.38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.
And the survey also showed that English is the most widelyspoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That's why many people don't think it is necessary to learn a foreign language. In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don't students continue learning foreign language at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.

To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices. Changing the British attitude(态度) to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try!

D．More than half of them only speak English.

A．science or German B．history or German
C．science or history D．German or French
9．In Paragraph 4, “an option” means “ ”．
A．a choice B．a game C．a mistake D．a conversation
10．What is the best title of the passage?

Ⅳ.Good morning, boys and girls!
The topic of my speech today is “Reading makes my life colorful.” I love reading. Reading is very important. We can get knowledge through reading. It can not only open our minds, but also make us cleverer and happier. Our study can be improved if we read more good books. The more we read, the more we will learn and the brighter our future will become. I usually read after school. Books about history and nature are my favorites.
However, some students spend much time in listening to music, watching TV or going online to play games. It takes much of their spare time. So I would like to suggest that everyone should read more books, especially read classics so that we can spread our Chinese traditional culture to the world.
Let's start reading now. And let it become a part of our life!
