2、MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahls writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds.Matildas battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny and frightening，but theyre also

DThe Stand.23What kind of book is Gone Girl?AA folk tale. BA horror story. CA love story. D A biography.BIt is often said that Western Europeans spea
7、k English. From traveling all through Europe, I know that this is not entirely true. Some regions of Europe have a 90% of English speaking rate, while in other parts, English is generally a tongue which is impossible to understand. The divide, it seems, lies with the Romance languages.In Scandinavia
8、, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and the rest of the Western European nonRomance language speaking regions, English seems to be understood and spoken just like the peoples first tongue. In Iceland, I have never experienced English was spoken so well and so widely by a nonnative speaking country.
9、 And I have almost never met a Dutch person who did not speak English almost as well as my countrymen.But when you move to the south of Western Europe a little, something happens. English becomes a less useful language for traveling. You just cross over the Romance language barrier (障碍) and into Spa
10、in, Portugal, France, and Italy, where English is spoken at a rate that does not seem to be much higher than in China, Latin America, or Southeast Asia.Traveling through Europe and working in hotels around the world that are popular with Europeans have given me a deeper view of their usage of foreig
11、n languages. The northern Europeans can often speak five or six languages, while the Romance speakers hardly know more than their birth tongue. And if you think that Spanish and Italian are so similar that their speakers can understand each other, I tell you that this is completely wrong. Spaniards
12、and Italians dont even understand each other. It is also not a fact that people from both of these countries can communicate in French; only those who put a large amount of effort into learning English or have lived abroad for years can speak English well.People often say that French people really u
13、nderstand English but refuse to speak it, but from watching hundreds of French travelers over the years struggle with English abroad as well as friends in France trying in vain (徒劳无益) to communicate with me, I know that this is not true. English is simply not widely spoken there outside the large ci
14、ties.24What can we learn from the passage?AIn Iceland, English is not spoken very well.BA Dutch person can almost speak English as well as the author himself.CSpanish and Italian are so similar that their speakers can understand each other easily.DEnglish is as widely spoken as French in France.25Th
15、e author is probably a(n) _.AAmerican BDutchman C Frenchman DChinese26What does “this” in the last paragraph mean?AWestern Europeans speak English.BFrench people really understand English but refuse to speak it.CHundreds of French travelers struggle with English abroad.DFriends in France try in vain
16、 to communicate with me in English.27Where is the passage most probably taken from?AA geography textbook. BA fashion magazine.CA travel journal. DA news report.CPeople in Japan tend to live longer and stay healthier in their later years, with an increasing number of old people living alone. Japan is
17、 on a fast track to “ultra-age” with people aged 65 or above accounting for 28 percent of its total population in 2019；it was 26.7 percent in 2017. On the other hand, the number of births in 2019 fell to its lowest (about 941,000) since records began in 1899.Demand for care services for elderly peop
18、le has increased. A shrinking (缩小) working population means fewer able-bodied adults are available to look after the elderly. State-provided facilities for the elderly are not enough, which causes elderly people to turn to private ones but they are expensive.The country will be short of 380,000 of h
19、ealth nurses by 2025. The government has to turn to advanced robots to meet the shortage. A study found that using robots encouraged one third of the people to become more active and independent. Yet there is no robot that can provide the emotional support to the elderly.Japan provides a case study
20、for China, which is also faced with a fast aging population. 17.23 million babies were born in China in 2019, about 630,000 fewer than in 2018. People aged 60 accounted for 17.3 of Chinas population in 2019. With a shortage of elderly care facilities and unbalanced supply, China may find it hard to
21、deal with the rapidly increasing number of senior citizens.To meet the challenge, the Chinese government should make policy changes, which Japan is unwilling or unable to do or even consider. China should pay attention to the signals its aging population is sending and take proper and timely action.
22、28. What do we learn about the old Japanese?A. More and more old Japanese prefer to live on their own.B. A lot of old Japanese have to continue working at old age.C. Some old Japanese remain active with the help of robots.D. Japanese aged 65 or above make up one third of its population.29. What can
23、we know about state-provided care facilities for the elderly in Japan?A. They are expensive.B. They are affordable.C. They are inconvenient. D. They are fashionable.30. What do the Japanese do to deal with the shortage of health nurses?A. They employ advanced robots.B. They hire foreign health nurse
24、s.C. They set up more nursing schools.D. They train the elderly to tend themselves.31. What is the main idea of the last two paragraph?A. Japan has to take action to deal with the aging population.B. Robots cant provide emotional support to the elderly.C. China is now faced with a fast aging populat
25、ion.D. Japans aging population issue is a timely lesson for China.DLeaving junior high school, and going up to the big school was a very frightening change for me.I went there with no friends.The only two people who came from my previous school were two girls, Donna Davis and Sakjinda Rai, but I dev
26、eloped little friendship with them.At first I was scared (害怕的) and looked stupid.But after a few months, I tried keeping my arms open and making friends with people around me.After an unsuccessful relationship with Amit Sharmar, who ran away from me whenever I said hello to him, Sher Bhachu joined m

I was on my own again!Anyway, when Sher finally did return, I introduced him to another friend of mine，Graeme Parker.They got
28、 on like a house on fire, but unfortunately that little threesome (三人一组) only managed to last about a week or two before they had a bit of fight，and poor Graeme went his own way.Shortly after that we met and later joined another gang.Others later joined at various stages, including Chris Elemen, Ven

34、nds. Be yourself._37_ If some people dont accept you, theyre not the kind of friends you need. People often stay together because they have similar interests.
