In school all over the world boys and girls are learning foreign languages. 1 if we go to France, we ought to be able to speak French, and in Germany people will expect us to understand German.
2 English is one of the most important because so many people use it, not only in England and the USA, but in other parts of the world. About 200.000.000 people speak it as their own language, and another 200.000.000 use it as a second language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it. Many millions of schoolboys and schoolgirls are trying to do so.
3 If we could learn a second language in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. Think of what a child does. It listens to what people say and it tries to imitate what it hears. When it wants something, it has to ask for it. 4 If people had to use a second language all the time, they would learn it quickly.
5 We imitate what we hear. In school, although you learn to read and write as well as to hear and speak, it is best to learn all new words through the ear. You can read them, spell them, and write them later.
A. English children study French, which is also a very important language. An Englishman can easily find someone in almost all parts of the world who is able to talk to him in either English or French.
B. Everybody knows his own language, but another one is very useful, especially when we travel to other countries.
C. It is important to remember, also, that we learn our own language by hearing people speak it, not by seeing what they write.
D. It is using the language, talking in it, and thinking in it all the time.
E. How many languages are there in the world? These are about fifteen hundred, but many of them are not very important.
F. Which is the best way to learn a language? We should remember that we all learnt our own language well when we were children.

Ⅱ、閱讀下面短文，選擇恰當的選項回答問題。
English words don’t stay the same. People need new words for new inventions. Different words come into use, or older words are used in a new way.
English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico, and “tea” came from China, and so on. Now a great many of new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words can be formed in other ways. For example, some can be formed by adding two words together. “Weekend” and “cookbook” are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. The word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” was made by cutting off the front part of “airplane”. The names of people and products can become new words. Our “sandwich” was named after a man named Sandwich and “sello（透明膠帶）”was a name given by the company that first made the product.

三、 創新探究
閱讀下面的短文，然后用30個左右的詞概括短文的要點。
“Are you happy at school”?” Most middle school students will answer “No” to this question.
A student from a key school in Guangzhou says that her teachers will give them too much homework to do every day. Every day, she has to do her homework from one subject to another. She can’t finish it until late into the night.
Another student says that they have too many exams. He doesn’t know why teachers should give them so many exams. He says that they have to spend so much time in preparing for the exams that they don’g have any time to do other things, such as playing football, playing computer games, watching TV and so on.
Most school students hope that their teachers give them less homework to do and they should have fewer exams so that they can have more free time to do what they like. It is more important for teenagers to live happily than to have too much homework and too many exams.

1. B.前一句意思是“你帶夠錢了嗎？”從否定答語“沒有（帶足夠的錢）”可知，后面要表達的意思是“需要的錢比原來想象需要的錢要多得多”。故選B. much less than是其反義短語，指“遠遠少于”。
2. C.本題考查動詞 come的短語辨析。Come about表示“發生，”常與how連用。此句意為“我相知道這么短的旅途她竟然遲到2個小時，這件事情是怎樣發生的？”
3. C.由ship可推斷出是海上旅行，因此用voyage.
4. B. native 用作定語，表示“當地的”。
