Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2015·无锡高三一模)Nowadays, the Internet, with its ability to connect people throughout the world, is changing the way people learn languages. There is still no way to avoid the hard work through vocabulary
lists and grammar rules, but the books, tapes and even CDs are being replaced by email, video chat and social networks.
Livemocha, a Seattle company, has created a website devoted to helping people learn more than 38 languages by exchanging messages over the Internet and then correcting each other?s messages. The lessons, whether they are flashcards, quizzes, audio recordings or written and spoken essays, are delivered through the Internet.
Michael Schutzler, Livemocha’s chief executive (主管), says the websites advantage is the ability to practice with a real person. “The great irony (讽刺) is that even if you have learned a foreign language in the classroom for years, you dont have confidence to go into a restaurant and have a conversation with a foreigner，” he said. The casual connections with real people throughout the world, however brief, are not just fun and surprising but show more about how the language is really used.
Livemocha is now experimenting with a variety of ways that resemble the games on other social websites to motivate people. The flashcard exercises, for instance, are scored, and the totals earned by studying and teaching appear on the users? front page.
Besides, each person can set up a profile (简历) which includes a short description of his age, location and what language he would like to learn. Therefore, if you want to study one language, you will easily find many people who are fluent in it. And an email or two is all it takes to find a study partner.
There are more and more companies like Livemocha offering online language learning to students throughout the world. And instead of merely helping people practice different languages, they also enable people to share interests and make new friends.
1．For what purpose did Livemocha create the website?
A．To offer new ways of language learning.
B．To make an advertisement for their company.
C．To share interests and make new friends.
D．To tell his inspiring story to more people.
2．What is the advantage of the Internet language learning?
A．Books, tapes and even CDs are completely out of use.
B．Learners can practice languages with real people.
C．People can learn more than 38 languages in all.
D．There is no need to learn vocabulary and grammar.
3．Why does the writer give us the example of flashcard exercise in Paragraph 4?
A．To show what Livemocha is doing to inspire website users.
B．To introduce how Livemocha scores the website users’ work.
C．To explain why Livemocha experiments with other social websites.
D．To tell what Livemocha prepares for the front page of the website.
4．How can one find a study partner on Livemocha?
A．He needs to set up a profile about his past experience.
B．He should deliver his written essays to the website.
C．He needs to give lessons over the Internet.
D．He can select suitable people and email them.
5．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Livemocha will open more branch companies.
B．Online learners can practice languages free of charge.
C．More learners will turn to online language learning.
D．Livemocha will be turned into a dating website.

6．选C 此处指David总会面带微笑。故选C，意为“佩戴，穿着，面露”，为固定用法。

11．选A 根据空格后的“before the holiday break”可知，放假的前一天当然是上学的最后一天。故选A。

.参考范文：
Dear Li Hua，
Im glad that you didn’t cheat in examinations. What you have done is right, even though your performance may not be so pleasing.
It is universally acknowledged that cheating in studies has bad effects on our personal development, which suggests our total lack of honesty. What some of your classmates did is completely wrong, despite the fact that they might feel selfsatisfied with the minor false success. If they are not aware of their mistakes, they will undoubtedly lose in time. As for your parents, you might just as well share your ideas with them, trying to get their understanding and encouragement.
From my point of view, we are supposed to focus on adequate preparations before examinations. As you know, we take various examinations to test how well we have learned and then make necessary adjustments. Therefore, we can benefit more from honest scores rather than cheating in examinations. What does matter is that we should be brave to face setbacks and challenges.
To end this, I really hope that you will work hard and make scientific preparations in advance, and wish you every success in future.
Yours sincerely，
Wang Lei
