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
10、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 Acad
11、emy, acted the part as the “driver”. He collected six passengers on Saturday morning, most of whom were female white-collar workers. “Of course they were surprised at first, wondering why Im driving a taxi, and wondering whether this is a real taxi, but then most of them were pretty willing to speak
12、,” 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 drive
13、r” 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
14、 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 most important goal of IELTS. “We hope that more and more IELTS takers in China can realize the i
15、mportance of communicating in English in real life, instead of just getting high test scores,” she said.21. Why did Matthew Knowles drive a taxi? A. He enjoyed chatting with people in English.B. He played the role of a taxi driver in a film.C. He took part in the project “Dare to speak”D. He wanted

17、TS B. remind language learners of the goal of learningC. attract more foreigners to start business in ChinaD. give more chances for English learners in ChinaBZheng Pengyu: Interest is the best teacher. Classrooms that werent fixed could give students the chance to explore their interests. At the sam
18、e time, they would be able to learn on their own because they would have to make their own decisions. All in all, the new system would be a good chance to inspire students passion for studying.Sun Yao: Despite its benefits, Im worried about whether the new system would work. Going to different class
19、rooms would take up a big part of our break time and we would have less time to relax after class. Also, not all schools could offer so many diversified classes.Shi Zhenghan: I support students learning in different classes. It would solve the problem of some students thinking the classes are too ea
20、sy while some think they are too difficult. Teachers could also teach more effectively. Whats more, friendships built while in different classes might be a pleasant surprise.Zhou Qingqing: In my opinion, studying in different classrooms might affect students psychological (心理的) development. They mig
21、ht find it difficult to develop deep and strong friendships with other students if they had to change classrooms constantly. They would also lose their sense of belonging to a certain class.Hu Qile: I applaud the idea. It would help teachers set up special teaching plans for different classes. For s
22、tudents, making choices by themselves could encourage them to be responsible. Changing classrooms could also help relive the boredom of doing the same dull routine (惯例) every day. Wang Xiaoqian: The new system might help with students individual development, but I still prefer the current system. St
23、udying in one fixed classroom, students with different academic levels can help each other. Spending your senior middle school years with the same classmates is an unforgettable experience. 24. According to Sun Yao, which of the following sentences is TRUE?A. The new system will work if great measur
24、es are taken.B. All the schools cant afford so many diversified classes.C. Students will have more time to relax.D. He supports the system because of its benefits.25.

Changing classroom can help with students individual development.27. Which of the following can best replace the word “applaud” in paragraph 5?A.
26、 hate B. oppose C. favorD. benefitCSome futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge(剧增) of women in the workforce may mean a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The converse(反面) of this concern is that becoming a multi-paycheck househol
27、d could encourage marriage. In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to put off marriage because the part
28、ies cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy comes to life, the number of marriages also rises.The increase in divorce rates follows to the increase in women working outside the home. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect concl
29、usions. The impact of a wifes work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible(似是而非的). Tensio
30、ns grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage. By raising a familys standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her familys financial and emotional stability. Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the h
31、ome may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union. Also, a major part of womens inequality in marriage has been
32、 due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities. 28. It is
33、said in the passage that when the economy falls_. A. men would choose working women as their marriage partners B. more women would get married to seek financial security C. even working women would worry about their marriages D. more people would prefer to remain single for the time being 29.

34、en find fulfillment through work outside the home,_. A. they are more likely to dominate their marriage partners B. their husbands are expected to do more housework C. their marriage ties can be strengthened D. they tend to put their career before marriage 30. One reason why women with no career may
35、 seek a divorce is that_. A. they feel that they have been robbed of their freedom B. they are afraid of being bossed around by their husbands C. they feel that their partners fail to live up to their expectations D. they tend to suspect their husbands loyalty to their marriage 31. Which of the foll
36、owing statements can best summarize the authors view in the passage? A. The stability of marriage and the divorce rate may reflect the economic situation of the country. B. Even when economically independent, most women have to struggle for real equality in marriage. C. In order to secure their marr
37、iage women should work outside the home and remain independent D. The impact of the growing female workforce on marriage varies from case to case.DOn the day after Thanskgiving in the US, or Black Friday, lots of stores offer special discounts to mark the beginning of holiday shopping season. In Chi
38、na, a similar day falls on Nov. 11 when millions of Chinese shoppers go to T and T, two e-commerce websites operated by Alibaba.The 11.11 Shopping Festival, as the event is now called, is also known in China as Singles Day. The shopping festival first started in 2009 and Alibaba said it chose the da
39、te because it was easy to remember. Last year, Tmall and Taobao together produced 19.1 billion in sales on that day, according to Alibaba. This years shopping festival kicked off with an even stronger startsales hit 100 million yuan 55 seconds after midnight and reached 35 billion at the end of the
40、day. The shopping spree(狂欢) drew the attention of Chinas leaders, as Premier Li Keqiang recently praised Alibabas founder, Jack Ma, for creating a day for consumption. China is trying to lead the countrys economy to a slower, more sustainable（可持续的）growth model based on domestic (国内的) consumption ins
41、tead of investment and exports. Online shopping is no doubt a growth point that will release spending potential. China had 564 million regular Internet users by the end of last year. It has surpassed the US to become the worlds largest e-commerce market, with its online sales over 1 trillion US doll
42、ars (6 trillion yuan) by 2020. “The real-time nature of online consumption attracts millions of people to spend money and enjoy life.

Convenience, choice and low prices have increased online shopping, but there are still some problems with the one-day shopping spree.Some online shops, driven b
44、y the huge profits, took this opportunity to play price tricks. They raised prices to twice those of the originals in the early October and then offered discounts on Nov 11.
