Worldside, women scored one point higher than men on average.“This shows that Chinese women are more used to the Chinese education mode, the report said. Chinese women use their gift of language to gain success.”However, Chinese mainlanders English proficiency ranked second to last in Asia, despite the great time and effort that many people invest in learning the language, the report said, Chinas mainland is ranked the 36th in the index of 54 countries and regions where English is not the native language. Thats down by seven places comparing with that last year. The Chinese mainland belongs to the low-proficiency tier(低水平層次) and is ranked just above Thailand in Asia. This years index has increased the weight of listening tests, while decreasing the importance of grammar and vocabulary exams, which partly caused the ranking change, researchers said. Moreover, test-oriented(以考試為目的) and rote-based(死記硬背)learning methods often used in China hurt the language skills of Chinese students, education experts said.The study compared test scores of more than 1.7 million adults in the 54 countries and regions. Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands have the best command of English, while Libya has the lowest English proficiency level. European countries generally performed well. But Italy, Spain and Portugal, some of the countries at the heart of the euro zone crisis, are being dragged down by poor English, according to the report. Singapore is 12th, the best in Asia, followed by Malaysia and India, South Korea; at 21st, and Japan, at 22nd, performed disappointingly low despite their focus on education; the report said.One in every four people frequently uses English at work on Chinas mainland, nevertheless nearly 15 percent said they never use English, lower than the world average level, according to the study.56.What is EF Education?A. It is a language test organization. B. It is an English teaching school.C. It is a language training company. D. It is an organization studying human.57. By what do Chinese women gain success in English learning?A. Cheating. B. Gift. C. Learning by heart. D. Asking for help.58. What can we learn from paragraph 3?A. Chinese mainlanders English proficiency ranked second in the index of 54 countries and regions.B. Chinese mainlanders English proficiency ranked 29th last year.C. The Chinese mainland belongs to the midproficiency tier.D. This years index has increased the weight of grammar and vocabulary exams.59. Which of the following order is TRUE in the ranking of the English Proficiency Index?A. Denmark > India > Japan > Singapore > LibyaB. Denmark > Japan > Singapore > India > LibyaC. India>Japan > Denmark > Singapore > LibyaD. Denmark > Singapore > India > Japan > Libya BThe year of 2014 saw smart people always busy inventing useful things, which have hepled to make the world better, smarter and a little for fun. Now, lets take a look at some of the inventions.Super bananaAustralian biogeneticist(生物遺傳學家) James Dale visited Uganda, a poor African country, in the early 2000s, where he found that 15-30 percent of children under 5 were at risk of going blind because they did not get enough Vitamin A. Dale also learned that people there love bananas. They eat three to 11 bananas a day. So he came up with the idea to plant bananas containing added nutrition in order to improve Ugandans health. With the help of Bill Gates foundation, Dale developed the “super banana”. He added a gene to the fruit, making it rich in Vitamin A.Coaching basketballBasketball is popular worldwide, partly because you only need a hoop(籃筐) and a ball to play the game. But this simple game has experienced a technology makeover this year with the development of a smart-sensor basketball.The ball, called the 94Fifty Basketball, has nine sensors inside. They can tell you anything from how fast you are going to how accurate your shot angles are.With a Bluetooth chip inside, the basketball can connect to your smartphone and tell you in the voice of a coach to “snap your wrist (傳旋轉球)”, or“go faster”, depending on the data.The HovercraftThanks to the California-based company Hendo, flying past your friends on a floating board could soon become a reality.The Hovercraft has four small engines. These create a special magnetic field which produce enough force to lift the board off the ground.At the moment, the hoverboard(懸浮滑板) can only float an inch off the ground for 15 minutes and must fly over a metal material. Its expensive too, at $10,000 (61,810 yuan), but the company hopes that one day the technology could be used.Wireless electricityMost of us could not bear to live without wireless Internet. We use it every day for everything from our phones to our cars. But one company wants to go a step further, by combining wireless technology with electricity.Thats right, no more tangled (纏繞的) wires and no more having to sit and hold your cell phone near a power socket(插座) in the corner of the room. WiTricity, a US company, has invented technology that can power objects up to 2.4 meters away. It uses a special plug-in coil (線圈) that creates a magnetic field!60. Which of the following statements would James Dale agree with?A. Children in Uganda should eat fewer bananas.B. Vitamin A is largely found in fruits like bananas.C. Super bananas are definitely a safe biological product.D. peoples eating habits can be used to develop new food.61. What is the biggest advantage of the 94Fifty Basketball?A. The sensors hidden inside can help players run faster in a game.B. It can help players to improve their shooting and ball handling skills.C. It allows players to connect to their smartphones while playing basketball.D. The bluetooth chip inside allows its users to listen to music while playing basketball.62. What can we learn about the Hovercraft from the text?A. It enables its users to float off the ground freely.B. It can work on many different kinds of surfaces.C. It still needs to improve its power and efficiency.D.It is an affordable means of transport for a family.63. What do the hovercraft and wireless electricity have in common according to the text?.A. They create magnetic fields to produce power.B. They apply technologies to many things in life.C. They apply technologies which can produce electricity.D. They use wireless technology to improve their products. C When you want to go shopping, decide how much money you can spend on new clothes, Think about the kind of clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes you really need. Then look for those clothes on sale. There are labels(標簽) inside all new clothes. The labels tell you how to take care of your clothes. The label for a shirt may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash in cold water. The label on a coat may say “dry clean only”, for washing may ruin this coat. If you do as the directions(說明)on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best for a long time. Many clothes today must be dry cleaned. Dry cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, check to see if they will need to be dry cleaned. You will save money if you buy clothes that can be washed. You can save money if you buy clothes that are well-made. Well-made clothes last longer. They look good even after they have been washed many times. Clothes that cost more money are not necessarily better made. They do not always fit better. Sometimes less expensive clothes look and fit better than more expensive clothes.64If you want to save money, you had better buy clothes that .A. dont fit you B. dont last long C. need to be dry cleaned D. can be washed65The labels inside the clothes tell you .A. how to keep the clothes looking their best B. how to save moneyC. whether the clothes fit you or notD. where to get the clothes dry cleaned66We learn from the passage that cheaper clothes .A. are always worse madeB. must be dry cleanedC. can not be washedD. can sometimes fit you better67The best title for the passage should be .A. Buy Less Expensive Clothes B. Taking Enough Money When ShoppingC. Being a Clever Clothes Shopper D. Choosing the Labels inside New Clothes DOn February 1,1960,I met three of my friends at the North Carolina A & T College Library,and together we walked to Woolworths.At that time in the South,African Americans werent allowed to eat with the white people.Woolworths had a separate lunch counter in the basement for “negroes”(黑人)My friends and I had agreed that we would sit at the white peoples lunch counter and ask to be served.And we did just that.Immediately,spoons stopped halfway to peoples mouths.Every eye was on us.Again,we asked the waitress for coffee,and she refused and said it was a custom not to serve the black people.And I asked,“But you do agree that the custom is wrong,dont you?”We were very polite out goal was to make sure that people did the right thing.So we sat there,waiting.An angry policeman came in and stopped right behind me.I could feel his hot breath on my neck as he stood over me.I said to myself,“This is it.”But he just stood there for a minute and then backed away and started pacing up and down.I came to realise:he didnt know what to do.An old white lady sitting farther down the counter finished her sandwich and headed straight for us.I prepared myself for a blast(一陣)of abuse.Instead,she put her hands on our shoulders and said,“Boys,I am so proud of you.I only regret that you didnt do this ten years ago.” That added to my determination to see it through.We went back to that lunch counter every day for six months until African Americans were finally served in every restaurant.68What does the underlined word,“abuse”,in the third paragraph probably mean?AGreat encouragement.
