First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able t
13、o speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, we must read in the language as mush as possible. Besides, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good mem
14、ory(记忆)is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary, and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we a
15、re not really learning the language. We must “learn through use”. Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.36The most important things to learn a foreign language are_.Aunderstanding and speakingB hearing, speaking, reading and writingCwriting and und
16、erstandingDmemorizing and listening37One can never learn a foreign language well only by_.Amuch practice Bstudying the dictionaryClearning through use Dusing the language38Which of the following is the most important in learning a foreign language?AA good memory.

17、“Learn through use”means_.Awe use a language in order to learn itB we learn a foreign language in order to use itCwe can learn a language well while we are using itDboth B and CBAmerican and British people both speak English of course. But sometimes it does not seem like the same language. In fact,
18、there are some important differences between British English and American English.First of all, they sound very different. Often, Americans dont say each word separately. They say several words together. Americans may say“I dunno”instead of“I dont know”. However, the British are more careful on thei
19、r speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.Also, some letters have different sounds. For example, the Americans say the“a”in half like the“a”in cat. But the British say the“a” in half like the“o” in soft.Sound is not the only difference between British English and American Engli
20、sh. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England. The same thing is true of some British words in America. For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England they drive lorries.Many expressions are
21、also different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone friends, you “ring them up”. In America you“give them a call”There are also sometimes differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb“do”when they ask a question. They say“Do you have class tod
22、ay？”But the British often leave out the helping verb. They say“Have you class today？”All these differences can be confusing if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. Languages change over time. When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways. This is
23、what happened to English. It can also happen to other languages, such as French. Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France.40This passage is about_.Athe way the British say wordsB English vocabularyChow American sounds are different from British
24、soundsDdifferences between American and British English41Compared to the British, Americans are usually_.Amore careful about saying wordsB less careful about saying wordsCeasier to understandDslower speakers42Some letters in English_.Aalways sound the sameB have different sounds in the US and Englan

He wonders: Can I communicate with Americans? Ca
26、n they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?Certainly, there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British
27、 English say“in hospital”and “Have you got a pen？” while Americans say“in the hospital”and“Do you have a pen？”Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually soundrin the words like“bird”and“hurt”. Speakers of British English do not soundrin these words. There are differences between British
28、 and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour”and “honour”are British, while“color”and“honor”are American.These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.44
29、According to this passage, a student who is learning to speak British English might be afraid that_.ABritish people cannot understand himB American people cannot understand himCthe grammar is too hard for himDthe spelling is too hard for him45American English and British English are different in_.As

Some of these expressions are commonly used f
32、or many years. Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is“Wheres the beef？”It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early 1980s， “Wheres the beef？”was one of the most popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone was usi
33、ng it all the time.Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and probably no food is more popular in America than the hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman named Ray Kroc began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price. Kroc called his restaurant“Mc Donalds”. Kroc
34、cooked hamburgers quickly so people in a hurry could buy and eat them without waiting. By the end of the 1960s the McDonalds Company was selling hamburgers in hundreds of restaurants from California to Maine. Not surprisingly, Ray Kroc became one of the richest businessmen in America.Other business
35、people watched his success. Some of them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company, called“Wendys”， began to compete with McDonalds. Wendys said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonalds or anyone else. The Wendys Company created the expression“Wheres the beef？”to make people
36、 believe that Wendys hamburgers were the biggest. It produced a television advertisement to sell this idea. The Wendys television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread that covered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a tiny bit of meat. One of the women said
37、she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece of beef.“Wheres the beef？”she shouted in a funny voice. These advertisements for Wendys hamburger restaurants were a success from the first day they appeared on television. As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression“Wheres the bee

41、 over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn about the rest of the world.Here
42、is a twoway student exchange in action. Fred, 19, spent last year in Germany with Georges family. In turn, Georges son Mike spent a year in Freds home in America.Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived. But after two months of studying, the language became easy for him. Students
43、 rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that were usually taken in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.Family life, too, was different. The fathers word was the law, and all of the activities were done with the famil
44、y rather than individually(单独地). Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed having a car.“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, wa
45、s also forming his own ideas. “I suppose I should criticize American schools， ”he says， “It is far too easy for our level. But I have to say that I like it a lot. In Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many other activities. I think that maybe American schools are better in traini
46、ng their citizens.
