【題目】Sometimes it is difficult to talk to taxi drivers. They must give all their attention to the road as they work out the shortest way to the place where you are going. However, passengers from Wangfujing were in surprise when they took a taxi. The driver just would not stop talking - in English.

Organized by the Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy, “Dare to Speak” examines if Chinese people will speak English in “real-life” situations.

Matthew Knowles, an acting student from South Carolina at Beijing Film Academy, acted the part as the “driver”. He collected six passengers on Saturday morning, most of whom were female white-collar （白領(lǐng)）workers.

“Of course they were surprised at first, wondering why I’m driving a taxi, and wondering whether this is a real taxi, but then most of them were pretty willing to speak,” he said. Knowles said he was also surprised by his “passengers”. “Apart from my first ‘passenger’, who could speak very little English, all the rest spoke English very well, and it was fun to communicate with them,” he said, adding that some “passengers” were quite talkative.

The “foreign taxi driver” project was just one of the “Dare to Speak” activities, which have been going on since the end of October. Other projects included a foreign store owner near a high school in Beijing, a cook in a Shanghai university canteen. They were testing the willingness of Chinese people, especially students and white-collar workers, to speak to foreigners in English.

Rong Xin, senior manager of IELTS （雅思） with the British Embassy, said they hoped to let IELTS takers in China know that communication is the ultimate goal of IELTS.

“We hope that more and more IELTS takers in China can realize the importance of communicating in English in real life, instead of just getting high test scores,” she said.

【1】Why did Matthew Knowles drive a taxi?

A．He took part in the project “Dear to speak”

B．He played the role of a taxi driver in a film.

C．He enjoyed chatting with people in English.

D．He wanted to improve his Chinese while driving.

【2】The Chinese may meet and talk to _______ in “Dear to speak” projects.

A．a white-collar worker B．a foreign store owner

C．a restaurant manager D．a high school student

【3】The underlined word ultimate is closest in meaning to ________.

A．most difficult B．most common

C．most famous D．most important

【4】The purpose of the project “Dear to Speak” is to _______ .

A．attract more foreigners to start business in China

B．draw Chinese people’s attention to IELT

C．remind language learners of the goal of learning

D．give more chances for English learners in China

【題目】 Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.

He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in the strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.

My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.

【題目】When we found him, he was a sorry sight. His clothes were torn, his hands bleeding. Before we reached him, we saw him fall. He lay a moment. Then he pulled himself to his feet, walked unsteadily a few yards through the woods and fell again. After we got him out, we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down. His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest, within 200 yards of the road. His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night. We found him just in time.

This man, like others before him, had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost. What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk, if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path.

Whatever sense of direction that a man may have, it’s still largely a question of observation. A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings. He notes the shape of a mountain, the direction water flows through a swamp, and the way a tree leans across a path. With these in mind, he is still likely to turn around many times, but he is seldom lost.

There are exceptions, of course, and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the “l(fā)ost” situation. A rainstorm may catch him without a compass in /span>his pocket. Darkness may find him in a rough area, where travel is dangerous without a light.

When this happens, the normal first reaction is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods. He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn’t show up. This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties.

The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger. He’ll be safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead, and remains calm.

【1】The writer suggested that if the man had not been found, ______.

A. he would have been shot by a gun

B. he would have become confused

C. he would have been attacked by wild animals

D. he would have been in great danger

【2】According to the text, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning,___.

A. he will worry about being laughed at

B. he will push himself to find his way out

C. he will feel sorry that he didn’t prepare well enough

D. he will feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friends

【3】What is the most important when a person tries to find his way in the woods?

A. Intelligence. B. Observation.

C. Direction. D. Chance.

【4】The writer tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who ______.

A. go into the woods by themselves

B. keep their head when they are in trouble

C. are frightened when they think they are lost

D. don’t know how to signal for help properly

【5】What is probably the best title for the passage?

A. A Man Lost in the Woods

B. Timely Rescue in the Woods

C. Don’t Panic When Lost in the Woods

D. A Pathfinder in the Woods

【題目】EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) —they arrived before polling stations even opened, dressed for the school day in striped ties and blazers, dress slacks and tartan skirts, book bags over their shoulders —and, for the first time in British history, ballot (選票) cards in hands on September 18.

Scotland’s experiment of allowing more than 109,000 Scottish teenagers aged 16 to 17 took part in the Scottish independence referendum (公民投票), in which Scotland finally decided not to become independent.

The age group only made up a small part of the 4.29 million total voters, but they have “demonstrated how the youngest voters can be some of the most enthusiastic in a mature democracy”, commented The Associated Press. Casting their ballots, they were “proud and passionate” to help their nation decide whether to break away from the UK after 307 years in union.

At age 16, Scottish residents are allowed to join the military, get married, and work. Eighteen is the legal drinking age, as well as the UK’s voting age. But in 2013, Scottish law was changed to allow 16- and 17-year-olds in Scotland to vote in the referendum. The government pushed for the change because “younger voters are more likely to vote with their hearts, not their heads—and embrace fundamental change by voting for the pro-independence Yes Scotland campaign”, NBC News said.

But when the decision was handed down, some worried that high school students might not be as informed as adult voters. However, many experts said that assumption was wrong.

Professor Jan Eichhorn of the University of Edinburgh insisted that Scottish teenagers were as likely to read newspaper articles and campaign materials as their parents. They would simply get these resources through social media.

“There’s no evidence to suggest that they’re less capable than adults of voting, from a research point of view,” Eichhorn told NPR.

Scotland’s move to let younger teenagers vote in the referendum has led to a discussion about whether the voting age ought to be lowered to 16, both in the UK and the US.

“By 16, most people have about as stable an ideology (思想意識(shí)) as they are going to get,” Professor Jason Brennan of Georgetown University wrote for CNN, arguing that the US should also think about allowing younger US citizens to vote.

【1】The Scottish independence referendum was held on Sept. 18 ______.

A. to encourage youngsters to be concerned with politics

B. to lower the minimum voting age to 16 for the referendum

C. to decide whether Scotland would become independent from the UK

D. to elect who would be the new leader of Scotland

【2】According to the passage, we can learn ______.

A. Scotland gained its independence from the UK eventually.

B. It is possible for the USA to lower the voting age to 16 in the future.

C. All the people in Scotland thought highly of the government’s decision to lower the voting age to 16.

D. Scottish teenagers aged 16 are allowed to join the military, get married, work and drink alcohol now.

【3】What does the underlined word “embrace” (in para.4) probably mean?

A. Admit toB. Object to

C. Know aboutD. Approve of

【4】What is Jan Eichhorn’s opinion of the Scottish teenagers aged 16 to 17?

A. They are as informed and capable as adults of voting.

B. They make no difference to the voting result.

C. They are too enthusiastic to make informed decisions.

D. They are unwilling to be involved in the decision of the country’s future.

【題目】MOOCs, an acronym（縮寫）for “massive open online courses,” mark an important, possibly revolutionary, development in education．These courses are online, free of charge, and open to anyone in the world who has a laptop and an Internet connection．Moreover, they are mainly offered by elite universities like Standford, Berkeley, Harvard and Columbia．

The courses, like normal college courses, are sequenced（按順序排好）by difficulty, enabling students to progress from beginners to the advanced．The courses cover not only a broad range of technical subjects such as math and computer science, but also courses in the social sciences and the humanities （人文學(xué)科）．

Though MOOCs are not offered for credit and degree, many students enroll in the courses for real skills or knowledge which they can put to some practical use．Some students even form online study groups, or in-person groups with students who live nearby．

The format seems superior to the traditional school class．The average quality of the lecturer is much higher, because students do not have to stick with a mediocre（平庸的） lecturer．

Besides, students can scroll back or forward—in short, they can go at their own learning speed, which they cannot do in a live lecture．And, of great importance, they do not have to travel anywhere to attend an online lecture．One can obtain a first-class American college education wherever he or she lives and however little money he or she has．

There is a problem of asking questions of the lecturer in a class of ten thousand students, but some MOOCs have solved it by allowing students to post questions online for a vote, and only the most popular questions are put to the lecturer．

In a knowledge era, lifelong learning is not confined to a traditional classroom．Of course, students enrolling in MOOCs cannot be compared with those who are in traditional universities, but we need to rethink what a “students” is．

Students in MOOCs are very clever, have work experience, and in many cases, have already developed a set of core competences．Moreover, they also offer unique international perspectives that would be the envy of any school classroom．

【1】Which of the following statements is NOT true about MOOCs?

A．The word “MOOCs” is an acronym for “Massive open online campuses．”

B．Anyone who has a computer and an Internet connection can take MOOCs．

C．MOOCs are usually offered by first-class universities in the world．．

D．MOOCs may be a breakthrough in the development of education．

【2】Students enroll in MOOCs mainly for ________．

A．credits B．degrees C．skills D．study groups

【3】MOOCs seem to have an advantage over traditional school classes because________．

①the average quality of the lecturer is higher

②students can travel to many places when taking MOOCs

③students can learn at their own study pace

④there is a problem of asking questions in traditional classes

A．①② B．②③ C．①③ D．②④

【4】Which word is the best to describe students enrolling in MOOCs?

A．Mediocre B．Creative

C．Practical D．Competent

【5】Which of the following words does not have the same meaning as the underlined word “perspectives”in the last Paragraph?

A．Vision B．View C．Outlook D．Scenery
