24、I left home for New Zealand to start my new life on my 15th birthday. My father and mother took me to Hong Kong， where we had to say goodbye. When we were saying goodbye， I suddenly felt afraid that I had never had before.

  This was the first time I had traveled so far by myself. And going to a far-away place I have never been before made me feel terrible. I held back my tears until I could no longer see my parents. As I was wiping away my tears， I realized that， from that moment on， I would have to do everything by myself.

After my arrival in Wellington， my teacher， Ms. Lang， showed me around my new school. A few days later， I started having classes. There were only 20 students in each class. Only math， science， social studies and English were compulsory， and students could choose other subjects for themselves， I chose music， Japanese and health.

In New Zealand， students are very active in class. And teachers are not as serious. They often let us play games in class. We can sit with anyone we like， and the teacher can sit at her own desk or at a student’s desk. The school had an easy manner， with few rules.

Because there was no homework， we could join clubs or do anything we liked. I always went to the library after school， where I found a lot of books to help with my studies.

Studying in New Zealand is very different from studying in China. In New Zealand， students depend on the library to gain knowledge instead of waiting for what teachers ask them to do.

Time went fast. The two months flew by after I arrived. Then a week of exams began. I did not have to take these exams， because I had only been at the school for a short time. However， my math teacher encouraged me to take the math exam， as she thought I could do well.

Though there wasn’t much pressure on me， I worked very hard to get ready for the exam because I know that no pain means no gain.

When the day of the exam came， I found that I finished the paper faster than the other students. One week later， my teacher told the whole class who had got the top mark： It was me! I got 94 percent.

All my classmates were very happy and said congratulations to me. It was one of the happiest days of my life.

A. the writer’s new teacher

B. the writer’s new school

C. a city in New Zealand

D. a person we don’t know

【2】 When she was wiping away her tears， the writer realized that________.

B. she could no longer see her parents in Hong Kong

C. she had to say goodbye to her parents

D. she would start a new life in New Zealand all by herself

【3】 The word “compulsory” means_______ in Chinese.

C. but she took the math exam and did best of all in it

D. so she found she finished the paper faster than the others

25、One year, a college in the United States announced that it would offer a lot of money for the pure white marigold(金盏花). The high reward attracted so many people, but in the nature, besides golden, the marigold is brown, and it is not easy to get the white one. So after they were excited for a time, many people had forgotten the announcement.

One normal day after 20 years, the college received a letter and 100 seeds of pure white marigold. It was an old woman of over 70 years old. Some experts in the college doubted it, but in order not to let her down, those seeds finally took root (根）in the earth. The miracle appeared after one year; the field was covered by pure white marigold.

Therefore, the old woman who was always unknown to the public became a new focus.

The old woman was a flower-lover. When she read the announcement 20 years ago, she got very excited like others. But her eight children were totally against her decision. After all, a woman who never knew the seed genetics(遗传学) couldn’t complete what the experts could never do, so her thought was only a day dream.

Still, the old woman didn’t change her mind and went on working. She planted some of the most common seeds and took good care of them. A year later, when the marigold came out, she chose one faintest(最暗淡的) from those golden and brown flowers and got the best seed. The next year, she again grew them and chose...Day after day, year after year, through many seasons, the old woman’s husband died, her children flew far, a lot of things happened in her life, but only the wish to grow the pure white marigold took root in her heart.

Finally, after 20 years on the day we all know, in the garden she saw a marigold, which was nearly white, but as white as silver or snow.

A problem even experts couldn’t deal with was solved by an old woman who didn’t understand genetics. Was it a miracle  (奇迹）?

To take root in the heart, even the most common seed, can grow into a miracle!

26、Who taught you to speak English? Your parents, while you were a child? Your teacher at school? Perhaps even the BBC as a grown-up. Whoever it was, somehow you have developed an understanding of what is rapidly becoming a truly global language.

There are now about 376 million people who speak English as their first language, and about the same number who have learnt it in addition to their mother tongue. There are said to be one billion people learning English now and about 80% of the information on the Internet is in English.

Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? Should we celebrate the fact that more and more of us can communicate, using a common language, across countries and cultures? Or should we worry about the dangers of “ mono-culturalism”, a world in which we all speak the same language, eat the same food and listen to the same music?

Does it matter if an increasing number of people speak the same language? I would have thought the other way around(相反) although I have never accepted the argument that if only we all understood each other better, there would be fewer wars. Ask the people of India ( where many of them speak at least some English) and Pakistan( the same situation with India) ...

If we all speak English, will we then all start eating McDonalds burgers? Surely not. If English becomes more dominant(占主导地位的), it will kill other languages? I doubt it. When I travel in Africa or Asia, I am always surprised by how many people can speak not only their own language but often one or more other related languages, as well as English and perhaps some French or German as well.

When we discussed this on Talking Point a couple of years ago, we received a wonderfully poetic email from a listener in Ireland. “The English language is a beautiful language. Maybe it’s like a rose,” he said. “But who would ever want their garden just full of roses?”

Well, I love roses, and I think they make a beautiful addition to any garden. But the way I see it, just by planting a few roses, you don’t necessarily need to pull out everything else. If more and more people want to plant English roses, that’s fine by me.

【1】By saying “ Ask the people of India... and Pakistan” ( in Paragraph 4) , the author is trying to show that_______.

A．speaking the same language doesn’t necessarily bring peace

B．wars can destroy the relationship between two countries

C．English doesn’t kill other languages

D．English is widely used in the world

【2】What does “garden” in the last two paragraphs stand for(代表)?

A．Language. B．Family.

C．The world.   D．The universe.

【3】The author would probably agree that_________.

A．it’s very hard to plant many kinds of flowers in a garden 

B．it’s good for people from other countries to learn English

C．more and more people like to plant roses in their gardens

D．English is easier to learn than other languages

【4】This passage is mainly about________.

A．why English has become a global language

B．how many people in the world speak English

C．how people in the world learn English as a foreign language

D．whether we need to worry about English being a world language
