However, learning English as a foreign language  (be) very difficult in the absence of a native language environment. We have little chance to live in an English-speaking country. Therefore, we have to rely on knowledge  we can learn at school. Teachers must make sure that there is  adequate amount of input in English conveyed to the students through  (vary) mediums. This input must be of high quality. After all, high quality output  (base) on high quality input.

To really get ahead, however, it means (put) in extra work outside of the classroom. Experts say that just 15 minutes of extra-curricular study a day can really speedup foreign language learning. Besides, you need to keep mind why you are learning English. Quite (simple), in today's world, learning English is one of major (factor) leading to a brighter future and a world of possibilities.

Lucas majors in classic linguistics. He is equal to recognizing a language in a 1  way no matter how unfamiliar it is. Last year, he 2  a shell with some totally strange 3  carved on it at a stall (小摊).

Based on his demanding 4  he knew it was from a small village. Besides, after 5  many related reference books, he had his point of view: the symbols were 6  as a variety of the writing system of Jiaguwen, a kind of writing system which dates back to 1500 BC.

Lucas had a 7  attitude to the discovery and applied to his university for a further research by visiting the village. With permission given, he visited it. He found the mother tongue of the villagers was a special dialect, whose vocabulary 8  from Mandarin (普通话) spoken by 1.4 billion people.

Despite many 9 , understanding the dialect and finding more shells helped him complete a report. The report was 10  where he gave a full description: The characters 11  by a small nation in the Shang Dynasty were passed down by means of bones and 12 . Afterwards, the nation went through ups and downs, 13  for hundreds of years. But it 14  disappeared due to some factors.

Lucas's report was a 15 in the academic field, attracting more people to these special characters.

When speaking English, we usually translate words from our native language in our head and it takes us a lot of time just to speak a simple sentence. ? Do you want to speak English fluently and naturally? The following steps will help you. 

Step 1: 

Think small first. I mean think in words, only simple words. The learning of your mother tongue starts with simple words like "dad""table""blue" and so on. . Try to say everything you see in English, only English. Later, in a conversation, the picture of a real table will directly remind you of the word "table".

Step 2: Think in sentences

This step needs more time and effort. But it's worth it. , such as "It's a table. ""I have a table. ""The table is blue. ", etc. Just do it step by step and day by day. Don't jump to long sentences if you're a beginner. Otherwise, you'll be let down.

Step 3: Think in conversations

. Some suggested topics may be your daily activities: family, friends, school, dream, favorites, and something similar. When you are sure that you can express a complete thought, make conversations with others.

A. Think in words

B. Try to say long sentences

C. Just try doing this in English

D. Does this sound familiar to you

E. Speak English as much as possible

F. Start with simple and short sentences

G. Make conversations with yourself first

If you are fond of learning languages, you must start learning Chinese. English is the most widely spoken language in the world and it is a more powerful language in all fields. But it is expected that Chinese, which is one of the six official languages of the United Nations (UN), will be the most important language in the coming years. What are the reasons behind the rapid spread of this language and why should you learn it?

My desire to learn languages was the reason why I studied many Latin languages and in the process, I deepened my knowledge of the languages and literature. However, I did not feel self-sufficient (自给自足的) from this knowledge. I gained a lot of information about the Western world. But my thinking was always about Asian civilizations. I always felt I needed to learn Chinese to be a global citizen because "without learning Chinese, we see with one eye".

My contact with many international organizations and government institutions (机构) made me believe that Chinese is one of the most important languages of our time.After visiting the world's most celebrated capitals such as Paris and London, I discovered that Chinese language can be seen everywhere in these places. In the subway in Paris, you will hear instructions in French, English and Chinese. In London, for example, the Chinese language was introduced for instruction in schools.

China is an important political (政治的) and economic country because it is making great economic progress that has never been seen before. The world is watching China with great surprise, and this peaceful Chinese rise makes us decide to focus on learning the Chinese language and knowing more about Chinese culture.

To be a global citizen these days, I would advise you to learn Chinese. It will add more beauty to your life and allow you to better understand Chinese civilization.

My Best Teaching Experience

Tyler was only in my senior class for a semester. He had been suspended (使停学) many times in previous years because of his anger issues. When he entered my class, I thought the worst.

Tyler sat in the back row. Every time I talked to the class, I would ask students questions, calling them by name. Unfortunately, every time I called on Tyler, he would respond with a joke. If he got an answer wrong, he would become angry.

About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler. I can usually get students involved in class discussions or at least have them sit quietly and attentively (专心地). By contrast, Tyler was often loud and sometimes rude.

He had been in so much trouble over the years.He expected his teachers to know about his past;about how many times he had been sent to the office or suspended from school. I had found that these sorts of referrals (移交) were not very effective and that students would return from the office behaving worse than before.

One day, Tyler was talking over me while I was teaching. I stopped my lesson and said, "Tyler, why don't you join in our discussion instead of having one of your own?" With that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over and yelled something. I can't remember what he said other than that he included some impolite words. I sent Tyler straight to the office, and he received a week's suspension.

To this point, this was one of my worst teaching experiences. Tyler's anger was almost too much for me. The week Tyler was suspended from school was a wonderful time, and we got a lot accomplished as a class. However, the suspension week would soon come to an end, and I was fearful of his return.

续写要求：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

On the day of Tyler's return, I stood at the door awaiting him.

A spark of surprise flashed across his face.

Hello everyone!

I'm glad to be here to...

Thanks for your listening!

A 72-year-old grandma has become a hit on Chinese social media for  (bring) physics to the masses with her unique videos. She has attracted more  one million followers.

Wu Yuren is a retired physics professor. Three years ago, she (join) a team of teachers as part of a science "popularization campaign" on Kuaishou and other short video platforms.

"Physics is very (interest). Why is. it that many students don' t like it? Because they are afraid difficult physics tests," Wu said. "I hope to tell teachers and kids to teach or learn physics."

Wu, (call) "grandma Wu" or "science grandma" online, uses simple props (道具) that can easily (find) in everyday life to teach about physical concerns (概念). She sets up many simple (experiment) to attract and hold people's interest. She also manages (inspire) her students' imagination.

My Name is Lily. One month ago, as an exchange student, I came from China to America. The first month was a little1 .

First, language was a big2 for me. I found people speak too fast.3 I thought I need to catch every chance to practice listening. But despite the4 I had made, I failed. Later, I found that if I5 the idea, not the single words, I could understand.

Finding time for both studies and extra-curricular6 was another challenge I faced. Like most7  I had a busy schedule. So I had to think carefully about which club is8 for me. I prefer helping others. The adviser9 that I sign up for volunteer club. But when I started to take part in activities in the club, it was a(an)10 . Luckily, I adapted to it. I keep a good11 between study and life now. Even in the middle of my busiest schedule, I12 three time a week to keep fit. I even tried out for the cheerleader of the basketball team and I made13 .

You probably know that exercise is the key to treating depression (沮丧), but a bigger fact remains: You don't feel like exercising. Here are some tips to help you start exercising.

Change your view of "exercise".

Forget "exercise". Instead think: "being active" or "having fun". Besides，it gives you a bigger emotional (情感上的) benefit.

Taking part in physical activities with others supports you in doing those activities. Ask friends what activities they're doing or they would like to do, and join them. You can also find a personal trainer, join an exercise group or go to a class.

Keep moving throughout the day.

Sitting is the new smoking.  Try to keep exercising throughout your day. If you have a desk job, get up and walk around.Every 20 minutes stretch (伸展) your hands, arms and back or more frequently, if you can.

Take exercise outside.

Nature has a great effect on your mood and it can relax you. Even just looking at images of lakes and trees helps.  Or walk on a treadmill (跑步机) by a window.

Set a goal.

When you connect your exercise to a longterm goal, it helps your brain forget the discomfort and makes your exercise more satisfying.Find out what's truly important to you.

A. Do exercise with others.

B. In other words, it's bad for you.

C. Sign up and go to exercise classes.

D It's a lot easier to do something simple.

E. Remind yourself of your goal regularly.

F. Take a walk around your neighborhood or a local park.

G. This increases your chance of actually moving your body.

Many cities and towns have laws that require people to recycle paper and plastics. Now some state and local governments have passed laws that require citizens to recycle their food waste as well. California and Vermont have statewide laws about recycling food waste that apply to businesses and homes. The process of recycling food waste and turning it into usable soil is called composting (堆制肥料).

Food waste that can be composted includes fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, tea bags, and eggshells. Garden waste such as stems and leaves can also be composted. Meat, fish, and dairy food waste cannot be recycled.

According to environmental groups, composting reduces the amount of trash going into landfills (垃圾填埋池), and composted waste holds a wide range of nutrients. When compost is added to the soil in gardens and fields, it helps crops grow.

Reducing the amount of waste that goes into landfills is one reason why cities and states are passing food-waste recycling laws. "Our landfills are far from enough for the creation of new ones is shrinking." Renee Crowley, a project manager said.

Officials in Seattle, Washington, say that food waste makes up 30% of the trash going into landfills, and they are looking to reduce that percentage. That city has a law requiring people to recycle food waste. It is banned from all garbage. There is a fine for people who put it into regular garbage.

Crowley points out that even in cities where food recycling is not a law, there are often places where citizens can drop off their food waste for composting. Many schools and colleges have also started composting programs.

Those who are against food-recycling laws say that the composting process is costly. In addition, it can be difficult for people who live in apartments to store their waste because they don't have access to outside storage bins. Patti Ferguson from Orange County, California, told her local newspaper that she thought an indoor container containing food waste would get smelly.
