二、完形填空
Last week, our class went to visit a show about the languages that are used in the UN. A young 21 worked as a translator and she showed us around the displays (展览) and told us many great stories about the six 22 languages of the UN.
She showed us the 23 writing systems of each language, such as Chinese characters, English letters, Arabic writing and Russian letters. She taught us some easy phrases like “peace” and “thank you” in the six languages, and we practiced 24. She said that every important UN document (文件) is translated into all the six languages, so no country feels left out. This is the spirit of fairness and 25.
The lady also told us that people using these six languages are over 26 of the world’s total population. She said, “Languages are not just words—they connect hearts.” I felt proud that Chinese, my mother tongue, is one of the six languages, helping the world communicate.
That day, I learned that language is a bridge of respect. We should respect different cultures, listen to each other and work together for peace. Since then, I have tried 27 saying some simple words or phrases like “hello” and “how are you” in foreign languages. 28 I make mistakes, I keep practicing.
29, learning languages is not easy, but it is meaningful. It helps us make friends with people from different countries. In a word, let’s keep learning and never 30.

三、情景交际
根据下面的对话情景，在每个空白处填上一个适当的句子，使对话的意思连贯、完整。
(Mary is talking with her new classmate John in the classroom.)
Mary: Hello, John! Are you from the USA?
John: 31. .
Mary: Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you came from the USA. Then where do you come from?
John: 32. .
Mary: Australia? But you can speak English very well.
John: Of course. English is the official language in Australia.
Mary: The English you speak is the same as American English.
John: Not exactly!
Mary: 33. ?
John: No. They are similar to each other. There are only some differences in spelling and grammar between them.
Mary: Can people from the two countries understand each other easily?
John: 34. .
Mary: 35. .

34. Yes, they can/Sure/Certainly/Of course
35. Thank you for telling me so much/Thanks for telling me so much

【分析】
做这类英语情景交际题，需紧扣对话上下文的问答逻辑，结合前后句的语境补全句子。先梳理每个空的前后语境：31空，Mary询问John是否来自美国，后文Mary道歉说明判断错误，故John需作否定回答；32空，Mary接着问John的来源地，后文Mary提到“Australia”，故John要回答来自澳大利亚；33空，Mary说美式英语和John说的英语一样，John回应“不完全一样”，后文John表示两者相似，故Mary需询问两者是否有较大差异；34空，Mary问两国人能否互相理解，结合常识和后文语境，需作肯定回答；35空，John答语为“You're welcome”，说明前面是表达感谢的话语。
【解析】
31. 根据后文Mary的道歉，可知John对Mary的问题作否定回答，故填No, I’m not(from the USA)；
32. 根据后文Mary的惊讶表述“Australia?”，可知John回答自己来自澳大利亚，故填I’m from Australia；
33. 根据后文John的回答“No. They are similar to each other”，可知Mary询问两者是否有较大差异，故填Are there any big/great differences between them/Are they quite different；
34. 根据问句“Can people from the two countries understand each other easily?”及常识，可知作肯定回答，故填Yes, they can/Sure/Certainly/Of course；
35. 根据答语“You're welcome”，可知前面是表达感谢的话语，故填Thank you for telling me so much/Thanks for telling me so much。
【答案】
31. No, I’m not(from the USA)；32. I’m from Australia；33. Are there any big/great differences between them/Are they quite different；34. Yes, they can/Sure/Certainly/Of course；35. Thank you for telling me so much/Thanks for telling me so much
