Postal System in BritainCAlthough many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenev
13、er I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English. First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due
14、 to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mist
15、akes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY（准确性） . Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim
16、is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears. T
17、he third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking. Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve t
18、heir spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go. If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what E
19、nglish you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more. 9What is most probably the writers purpose in writing the passage?ATo improve your reading. BTo improve your listening. CTo improve your spoken English. DTo improve your vocabulary. 10It
20、 can be inferred from the third paragraph that _.Adont be fluency. Just be accuracy!Bdont be nervous, dont be shy. Just write!Cdont be afraid of making mistakes. Just speak!Ddont be shy, dont be fluency. Just listen and write!311The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “_”. Amore hurry
21、, less speed Bbetter late than never Csilence is gold Dpractice makes perfect 中12The text is most probably taken from a _. Ateachers diary Breport on study Csports newspaper Dmovie magazineDI used to think education was the most important thing in my life . Recently my attitude has began to change,
22、although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my school, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of my people, I was trembling. I didnt remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference roo
23、m without finishing my speech ,leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room ,feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I have received many awards in school, but they dont show anything about me. I am just storing knowled
24、ge, yet fail to communicate with others. When I leave school I feel I will be of no use to society.I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle.
