Language is a major problem for the European Union (EU). The agreement or treaty which created the organization that eventually became the EU，the Treaty of Rome，stated that each country' s language must be treated equally.The original six countries had only three languages between them：French, German and Dutch/Flemish.However，there are now 15 countries in the EU，with a total of 12 languages.EU documents must be translated into all these languages，and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.
All this translating is very expensive and time consuming(费时的)．It is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches，and nearly half of the EU's administrative(管理方面的)costs are spent on this task.In the near future it is probably that several more countries，most of them having their own languages，will join the EU，thus making the situation even worse.
The problem is not just cost：there are practical difficulties as well.With 12 languages，there are 132 possible “translation situations” that might be needed.It is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from (for example) Danish into Greek，or Dutch into Portuguese，at a high professional standard.
In practice the problem has been made less severe by the use of English in many contacts between EU officials，since almost all of them speak some English.However，any move to reduce the number of official languages(perhaps to four or five)would be a blow to the price of the smaller countries.Another commonly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business.However，this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like France and Germany.
1．What's the main purpose of this passage?
A. To give a solution to a problem.
B．To find out a problem and show how severe it is.
C．To criticize the European Union for ill efficiency.
D．To show that the problem cannot be solved.
答案：B　推理推断题。本文的主题是说明欧盟内部语言问题的严峻性，故选D。
2．According to the writer，the use of English in contacts among EU officials has________.
A. angered the officials who don't speak English
B．reduced the number of official languages
C．lessened the effect of the problem
D．been opposed by powerful member countries
答案：C　推理判斯题。依据文章第四段第一句可知本题选C。
3．The writer mentions “Danish into Greek”as an example of________.
A. a situation that might be difficult to deal with
B．a situation that occurs often
C．one of the 12 situations that require an interpreter
D．languages easily being interpreted
答案：A　细节理解题。由文章第三段最终一句可知本题A项正确。
4．The writer suggests that if the number of official languages was reduced________.
A. the EU would not know which official languages to choose
B．countries whose languages were not used officially would be unhappy
C．only languages which are easy to translate would be used officially
D．the smaller member countries would be pleased
答案：B　推理推断题．由文章最终一段其次句可知本题选B。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
When 47-year-old volunteer Susan Boyle stepped on to the stage of Britain’s Got Talent and announced she was unemployed, had never been married and “never been kissed, actually”, few in the audience would have wondered why. This Ms. Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and the audience with the song “I Dreamed a Dream” from the musical Les Miserables on a show of “Britain’s Got Talent”, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.
She couldn’t hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress, and everyone—including the judges—seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone present fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity(名人) judges sat open-mouthed, and remained standing to the end.
After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said, “Without doubt that was the biggest surprise I’ve had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing at you. No one is laughing now. That was amazing.” Actress Amanda Holden followed, “I am so thrilled because I know that everybody was against you. I honestly think that we were all being cynical(愤世嫉俗的)and I think that’s the biggest wake-up call ever.”
Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic. Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore—who between them have nearly 1.5 million followers—speak highly of her. Kutcher posted a link to the video clip(片段). The Scottish talent made her live American debut(露面) via satellite connection on CBS’s The Early Show, doing an interview and singing live from her room. And she already accepted an invitation from talk show host Oprah Winfrey.
Now Boyle has become one of the world’s hottest celebrities. The video clip of her performance has been viewed more than 50 million times on YouTube, becoming a hit on the Internet. Not long ago she came to China and was warmly welcomed.
64．We learn from the passage that Susan Boyle .
A．rose from a low social background
B．had an unhappy marriage
C．was working in a company
D．won the championship in the Britain’s Got Talent show
65．At the beginning of the show, almost everyone .
A．looked forward to her wonderful performance
B．was attracted by her beautiful dress
C．looked down upon her
D．placed great hope on her

A．the judges B．the Internet
C．the newspaper D．the advertisement
67．The 4th paragraph intends to tell us .
A．how Susan Boyle achieved her success

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Sydney J. Harris accompanied his friend George to his favorite newsstand. George greeted the man selling the newspapers politely, but in return he received rude service. He just acknowledged his customer and never even looked up at him when he requested the late night edition. Accepting the newspaper, George politely smiled and wished the newsman a pleasant weekend. The owner made an indiscernible(难识别的) sound and seemed relieved that the two men had completed their dealing.
As the two friends walked down the street, Sydney J. Harris asked, “Does he always treat you so rudely?” “Yes, unfortunately, he does,” George responded. “And are you always so kind and friendly to him?” “Yes, I am!” George continued as they turned a corner. “Why are you so nice when he’s so unfriendly to you?” With a look of deep thought, George explained, “Because I don’t want him to decide how I’m going to act.”
Who decides how you’re going to act? Is it your circumstances(环境) or the difficult people in your life that determine your responses? When we allow our conflicts to control us, we behave as though getting rid of our predicaments (境况) is our only choice. Therefore, it doesn’t really matter how we treat one another. For example, we say, “This person is causing trouble right now so I don’t care about exercising patience, self-control, and loving kindness. Instead, I want to let them know how angry I’m because of their actions.”
We forget our acts will eventually die down. But the way we handle conflicts will influence our lives for a long time. Will you only respond to the momentary crisis(瞬间危机) or will you be more concerned about the lasting value of what kind of person you are becoming?
68．What surprised Sydney J. Harris most?
A．George greeted rude people politely.
B．The newspaper-seller was too rude.
C．George greeted others politely.
D．George bought papers in the wrong place.
69．The man selling newspapers was rude because .
A．it was late into the night B．George was rude to him
C．Harris didn’t buy papers D．it was his own behavior
70．According to George, who decided how he was going to act?
A．The circumstances. B．The conflicts.
C．The difficult people. D．George himself.
71．According to the last paragraph, when we deal with conflicts, we should .
A．try to win the conflicts B．immediately stop the conflicts
C．consider the long-term benefits D．let others know our anger

The actions of international development volunteers, and the relationships they build, live on long after the volunteers return home.

development and learning new skills, so I decided to volunteer to be able to pursue that. We had one project where we used this knowledge to grow and collect Chinese medicinal herbs (中药）, and then linked them up with Chinese medicine companies.”

As an Australian Youth, Carlie worked as a Rural Development Advisor at Yunnan Agricultural University. She spared no effort to help others, and gained some valuable skills.
As shown from Carlie’s experience, providing a free service for others and improving oneself is what volunteer work is all about.
My elder sister worked as a volunteer for the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. She was responsible for showing the audience in and out of the stadiums and demonstrating a series of gestures to cheer up the athletes at the game. Every night when she got back late, she was too exhausted to say a word or stand up. But she has learnt to appreciate what others have done for her, which she used to take for granted.”
　Thus it can be seen that gratefulness is the most important quality for volunteers, because to be an excellent volunteer is to give rather than receive.

I was diagnosed with cancer at 31. When I heard this news, my heart sank. When Sally heard about my diagnosis, she approached me and was supportive. I was surprised at her kindness because she was almost a stranger to me. I had expressed fears of having chemotherapy (化疗). Just before my firs chemotherapy, she gave me a gift. She told me she’d give me one of these gifts just before every chemotherapy until I finished all the treatment. I explained I’d be having chemotherapy every other week for months because I didn’t want her to be obligated(有义务的). She told me that she wanted me to say, “What is Sally going to turn up with this time?” instead of “I’ve got another painful chemotherapy session.”
Each time she came to see me, she brought a present. I was a bit embarrassed at first, but as treatment went on, I found myself looking forward to a beautifully wrapped gift, such as a candle, a book or a bar of chocolate, Carefully choosing gifts every time, she never missed one. It didn’t matter what the gift was. It made a difference that she cared enough to think of me every week, knowing I was going through a painful course that would in the end, save my life. Now when I look at these gifts, I am so grateful for Sally’s promise.

The author suffered from cancer, but Sally gave him a gift every time he had chemotherapy. With her timely and warm care, he smoothly went through the painful course.
　It is a touching story which has proved what “A promise is a promise” means. It is admirable that Sally made a promise and kept it from beginning to end. Take Li Xin, my deskmate for example. In Senior One, I did badly in math, and did not get along well with him. He promised to help me with my math every day after school. He never broke his promise and explained every minor mistake to me patiently. As time went by, I made great progress in math. Most importantly, we have become best friends ever since.
　It seems to me that keeping promises plays an important role in smoothing social communication. Once we make a promise, in no way should we b
