As an English, I can speak threes languages - English, German and French, so do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren’t.

Some statistics from the survey done by the European Commission showed that 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. Compared with the British people, 56% of the people in other European countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more.

From this you can see that the British people are famous for not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.

And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That's why my people don't think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.

In Britain, students are not required to learn a foreign language. That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don't students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in languages than in other subjects such as science or history. To solve this situation, the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.

Changing the British attitude(态度)to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try!

1.The writer comes from________.

A.America B.China C.Britain D.Germany

2.Which of the following about the British people is TRUE?

A.They are good language learners.

B.62% of them speak two or more languages.

C.They are famous for speaking foreign languages,

D.More than half of them only speak English

3.According to the passages, students in Britain prefer(更喜欢）to learn________.

A.science or German B.history or German

C.science or history D.German or French

4.In Paragraph 5,“this situation" 'refers to the fact that British students________.

A.give up learning a foreign language B.only like science or history

C.take up learning a foreign language D.learn science and history ate

5.What is the best title of the passage?

A.Learning to Speak English B.Foreign Language Learning in UK

C.Junior High Schools in UK D.Young English Learners in Europe

Bananas are the perfect snack. Not only they are sweet and delicious, but they are easy to carry around, so you can take them anywhere. Best of all, bananas provide different things that the human body needs!

Bananas grow best in warm places that get lots of rain. They grow on plants that look like trees .The banana plant, however, is considered a herb rather than a tree because it doesn't have a strong, woody stem. The plants can grow as high as 30 feet. When they reach their full height, flowers grow out from the stem. These flowers produce bananas.

Two or three times each year, the plants produce fruit. The bananas grow together, which seem like "hands". A hand is made up of 10 to 20 bananas. Growers sometimes call bananas“fingers". Each bunch (丛)of bananas has about 15 hands, and so a whole bunch may have as many as 200 bananas and can weigh more than 100 pounds.

After about three months, the bananas are ready to be picked. At this point, they still aren't the sunny yellow color of bananas. Farmers pick them when they’re green. That's how they're shipped to stores. They turn yellow along the way and are ready to be sold.

If you love bananas, you've got a lot of company. Americans have been enjoying bananas since the first shipment arrived in the United States in 1876. Today, Americans eat more bananas than any other fruit. More bananas are sold than apples and grapes together. Every American eats over 26 pounds of bananas each year!

1.The first paragraph mainly talks about________.

A.why people like bananas B.how bananas taste

C.what bananas are rich in D.where bananas are taken

2.What is the correct order in which these happen?

a. The bananas begin to turn yellow.　　　　　 b. A banana plant grows to full height.

c. The flowers produce bananas.　　　　　　　　 d. The bananas are ready to be picked.

A.c-b-a-d B.b-c-d-a C.b-c-a-d D.c-b-d-a

3.The underline word “company”means______.

A.a place where people work B.a ship that caries bananas

C.someone with the same interest D.someone who sells bananas

4.Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?

A.The banana plant is a kind of tree.

B.Banana plants like growing in hot and dry areas,

C.The banana plant produces fruit 2 or 3 times a year.

D.One banana bunch has about 15 bananas.
