England at first became a series of kingdoms，the strongest of which was Wessex (the name comes from WestSaxon)．The names of many of the areas in England come from this period—for example，the name Sussex comes from SouthSaxon，Essex from EastSaxon，and East Anglia from EastAngle.The Vikings then came from Denmark，and later the Normans invaded from France. Eventually England，Wales，Scotland and Northern Ireland were united，forming the United Kingdom.
The English language is the main language spoken throughout England，although there are many different accents.It can be difficult to know how to spell or to pronounce some English words，because the language has been influenced by Latin and Greek (languages used at the time of the Romans，and used in religion and education until recent times)，German (the language of the Angles，Saxons and Jutes)，French(the language of the Normans)，Gaelic/Scots (Celtic languages) and Danish (the language of the Vikings)．
There are now many people throughout the United Kingdom who speak a foreign language either as their first or second language；mainly due to immigration (移民) from Europe or the Commonwealth (countries which used to be part of the British Empire)．
小题1:According to the first paragraph，which of the following statements is NOT true?
| A．The Romans were forced to leave England when the Jutes attacked there. |

| B．Because they plan to live outside the UK in the future. |
| C．Because they have moved from other countries. |
| D．Because they have worked in other countries. |

Before it was released, moviegoers foresaw what this "pure beauty" could be. Director Zhang complained of how long it had taken him to find the right girl for the part of Jingqiu -- a character so innocent. She believes that simply lying on the same bed as a man will make her pregnant.
It was 18-year-old Zhou Dongyu who stood out from the crowd. According to Zhang, Zhou has "eyes that are clear like a fountain on a mountainside". Born to an ordinary worker"s family, the Shijiazhuang girl was in her final year of high school and working hard for a place in an art college.
"If you have fair skin and clear eyes, as Jingqiu does, it is easy to look pure. Girls today wear so many jewels and make-up--that"s the reason Zhang was not interested," said Du Yanlai, 17, of Chengdu.
While some teenagers consider such "pure" beauty illusory, others believe that it speaks of something soulful.
Purity is all about an innocence that shines through from within, thinks 16-year-old Tan Mengxi of Nanjing. "Being pure can be simple, not having complicated thoughts and being inexperienced. However, it doesn"t mean an ignorant or native person. So, a person is pure in his or her nature if he or she is always enthusiastic and able to deal with difficult matters independently. This purity doesn"t pass with time, "she said.
小题1:What"s the real purity according to Tan Mengxi?
| A．Having eyes as clear as a fountain. |
| B．Not wearing so many jewels and make-up. |
| C．Being ignorant and native. |
| D．Being simple, enthusiastic and able to manage things alone. |
| A．unreal. | B．unhealthy. | C．unscientific. | D．negative. |
| A．Zhou Dongyu, who was 18,was from an art college. |
| B．Director Zhang disliked those girls with so many accessories and make-up. |
| C．Different people have different opinions about purity. |
| D．Many young girls in China are eager to stand out. |
| A．Why Director Zhang selected Miss Zhou as the leading star |
| B．How people like the movie Under the Hawthorn Tree |
| C．What makes a pure girl |
| D．Why Chinese girls want to be pure |
The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.
One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who’s their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There’s nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (耸肩) for an answer.
Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.
小题1:This passage gives us some advice on _________.
| A．how to make friends |
| B．what kind of person you can make friends with |
| C．how to start a conversation |
| D．the importance of smile |
| A．who are sad every day. |
| B．who share the same interest |
| C．who are fond of talking |
| D．who say bad things to them |
| A．who is always smiling |
| B．who seems to be friendly |
| C．who praises them |
| D．who points out their shortcomings. |
| A．being very proud | B．making no answer |
| C．knowing nothing | D．not hoping to answer |

What a goal is
In the context of a speech, a goal is the purpose of the speech, and what it hopes to accomplish. For example, the goal of a eulogy(颂歌) might be to celebrate the life of a loved one. The goal of a speech at a political gathering would be to inform the crowd about the political position of a candidate and persuade them to vote and campaign for the candidate in question（正被讨论的）.
Why a goal is important
Without a goal, a speech is without direction. The goal informs the structure and content of the speech. For example, if a speech"s goal is to convince people that smoking is bad for them, the speech will be structured with persuasive arguments to back up the goal. A speech with a goal of informing the audience will keep the information fair and factual.
A goal is incredibly important to the speech"s ability to connect with an audience. If the speaker is unaware of the goal of the speech, the audience will likely be unaware as well. This severely reduces the effectiveness of the message.
Aside from informing the audience of the content and structure, a speech"s goal drives the speaker to greater heights. If a speaker is asked to speak on a specific subject, but never establishes the goal, they won"t know where to start in the research, organizing and writing of the speech.
______________
If you have been charged with(被委以) delivering a speech, establishing a goal can seem difficult at first. There are several things to take into consideration. First, think about who you will be speaking to. The demographic(人口统计) of your audience will likely determine whether you will be able to persuade them, or whether they will be able to sit through（一直坐到……结束）. Second, think about the topic itself. If the topic is something controversial（有争议的）, it may worth your while to consider an informative approach to present both sides of the issue. Finally, consider your resources. A speech with an informative or persuasive goal usually requires a great deal of research, and sometimes takes more time to write.
小题1:According to the passage, what three components does the best speech combine?
| A．Informing, delivering and entertaining. |
| B．Informing, persuading and entertaining. |
| C．Informing, writing and delivering. |
| D．Informing, writing and persuading. |
| A．to persuade the audience to vote for a candidate |
| B．to celebrate the life of a person you admire |
| C．to entertain the audience with humor and magic |
| D．to persuade the audience to buy new products |
| A．a speech will lose its direction without a goal |
| B．a speech goal can help keep the audience aware of the speech |
| C．a speech goal can help the speaker know about the research, organizing and writing |
| D．a speech goal makes it possible for the speaker to achieve whatever he wants in life |
| A．How to achieve a speech goal | B．How to deliver a difficult speech |
| C．What to consider to establish a goal | D．What to consider to deliver a speech |
