22．（6分）As an English person， I can speak three 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 （数据） from the survey done by the European Commission （欧盟委员会） 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 many people don't think it is necessary to learn a foreign language．
In Britain， students aren't required to learn a foreign language． That means learning a foreign language is only a choice at school． In British schools it's 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's 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．

26．（6分）Recently， China announced it had achieved success in drilling fire ice or methane hydrate（天然气水合物即，可燃冰）， from the seabed in the shenhu area of the South China Sea． It produces high amount of energy when it is burned， leaving nothing but dioxide and water．
Many countries， including the United States and Japan， have long been doing research on methane hydrate， but taking it from bottom of the sea has been a common problem they are facing．According to reports．China succeeded in drilling methane hydrate for a number of days continuously and got an average of over 16，000 m 3 daily． It is believed to be a big breakthrough．
Scientists say there is about 21， 000 trillion（ 万亿 ）3 of methane hydrate in the world． If we can use it， it can meet the world's energy need for 1， 000 years． However， it is too early to say a new energy source （来源 ） has been found because we are still facing two main challenges﹣environmental risk and economic（经济的）cost．
When methane hydrate is taken from the seabed， it may go into the air easily． That's very bad for the environment because methane is one of the worst greenhouse gases， Besides， drilling methane hydrate is very expensive as well．
However， China's technology breakthrough is very important because it shows the way researchers across the world should take． It also raises hopes that one day we can drill methane hydrate as a source of energy．
（1）What is Paragraph I mainly about ？
A． China is producing a large amount of energy from fire ice
B． China is making good use of fire ice throughout the country

D． China has turned fire ice from the South China Sea into daily energy
（2）What's the common problem many countries are facing when doing research on fire ice？
A． How to take it out from the bottom of the sea
B． How to turn it into useful energy at the lowest cost．
C． How to make it cheap on the future energy market．
D．How to change it into a traditional form of energy．
（3）Why is it too early to say a new energy source has been found？
A． Because it's too difficult to find the place where the fire ice lies and how to drill it．
B． Because it's not easy for fire ice to go into the air and be good for the environment．
C． Because it s quite impossible for fire ice to take the place of other sources of energy
D．Because it's expensive to drill fire ice and it may do great harm to the environment

Tanya Dodge is the mother of two children who play the game． According to her， these activities give her children important skills for the future． "It's an analytical （分析的） skill，" said Dodge．

Hu also sees many parents who feel that software code is a second language that children need to learn to succeed in future jobs． Tanya Dodge agrees． She said， "l think you're going to have to understand the idea of coding will work well in the future．"

26．（6分）Recently， China announced it had achieved success in drilling fire ice or methane hydrate（天然气水合物即，可燃冰）， from the seabed in the shenhu area of the South China Sea． It produces high amount of energy when it is burned， leaving nothing but dioxide and water．
Many countries， including the United States and Japan， have long been doing research on methane hydrate， but taking it from bottom of the sea has been a common problem they are facing．According to reports．China succeeded in drilling methane hydrate for a number of days continuously and got an average of over 16，000 m 3 daily． It is believed to be a big breakthrough．
Scientists say there is about 21， 000 trillion（ 万亿 ）3 of methane hydrate in the world． If we can use it， it can meet the world's energy need for 1， 000 years． However， it is too early to say a new energy source （来源 ） has been found because we are still facing two main challenges﹣environmental risk and economic（经济的）cost．
When methane hydrate is taken from the seabed， it may go into the air easily． That's very bad for the environment because methane is one of the worst greenhouse gases， Besides， drilling methane hydrate is very expensive as well．
However， China's technology breakthrough is very important because it shows the way researchers across the world should take． It also raises hopes that one day we can drill methane hydrate as a source of energy．
（1）What is Paragraph I mainly about ？C
A． China is producing a large amount of energy from fire ice
B． China is making good use of fire ice throughout the country
C． China has already succeeded in drilling fire ice from the seabed
D． China has turned fire ice from the South China Sea into daily energy
（2）What's the common problem many countries are facing when doing research on fire ice？A
A． How to take it out from the bottom of the sea
B． How to turn it into useful energy at the lowest cost．
C． How to make it cheap on the future energy market．
D．How to change it into a traditional form of energy．
（3）Why is it too early to say a new energy source has been found？D
A． Because it's too difficult to find the place where the fire ice lies and how to drill it．
B． Because it's not easy for fire ice to go into the air and be good for the environment．
C． Because it s quite impossible for fire ice to take the place of other sources of energy
D．Because it's expensive to drill fire ice and it may do great harm to the environment
（4）Where can we probably read the article？B
A．In a storybook．
B．In a newspaper．
C．In a travel guide．
D．In a advertisement
