24、ll将该项涂黑null A Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak , though the word “ obey” is
25、 hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the children. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises. Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken wor
26、ds leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these cant be said to show the babys intention to communicate, the
27、y can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation(模仿 ) leads on to deliberate(有意的 ) imitation of sounds made or words spok
28、en to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech. It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it a particular situation; and it is clear tha
29、t what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world. Thus the use, at seven months, of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself. I doubt, howeve
30、r, whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds. 46. Before children start speaking_. A. they need equal amount of listening B. they need different amounts of listening C. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken in
31、structions. D. they cant understand and obey the adults oral instructions 47. Children who start speaking late_. A. may have problems with their listening B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them C. usually pay close attention to what they hear D. often take a long time in learning
32、 to listen properly 48. A babys first noises are _. A. an expression of his moods and feelings B. an early form language C. a sign that he means to tell you something D. an imitation of the speech of adults 49. The problem of deciding at what point a babys imitations can be considered as speech_. A.
33、 is important because words have different meanings for different people B. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually C. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age D. is one that should be completely ignored because children
34、s use of words is often meaningless 50. The speaker implies_. A. parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds B. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak C. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly D. even after they have learnt to speak, childr
35、en still enjoy imitating B So long as teachers fail to distinguish(区别 ) between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children what only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in
36、activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”. Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate t
37、hat will make it possible for children to plan cleverly the most efficient(有效的 ) system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: it can be seen and observed. Learning to read involves all that each individual does to understand the world of printed language. Almost all of
38、 it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the long search for knowledge? Smith has one principle rule for all teac
39、hing instructions. “ Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children.” When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them properly, then much of the pressure and feeling
40、of failure for both is got rid of. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the chance to solve the problem of learning to read by learning. 51. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that_. A. too much time is s
41、pent in teaching about reading B. reading tasks are given with little guidance C. it is one of the most difficult school courses D. students spend limited hours in reading 52. The teaching of reading will be successful if _. A. teachers can make their teaching activities observable B. teachers can t
42、each their students how to read C. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students D. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading 53. The word “scrutiny” (paragraph 3 ) most probably means “_”. A. unbelief B. control C. inquiry D. observation 54 . the main idea of the
43、 passage is that _. A. reading is more complicated than believable B. reading ability is something gained rather than taught C. teachers could encourage students to read as widely as possible D. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read 第四部分 书面表达 第一节 阅读表达null共 5 小题nu

45、en in the questionthe person could be talking about last week when the question asks about next week. The correct information usually, if not always, comes afterwards. Nearly right is not the same thing as right; examinations often give information that sounds more or less correct, but is in some way unsatisfactory. Adverbs and modals(情态动词 ) are often used to send you the wrong way; the listening text might use “ She may well be late” and the question “ She will be late” this is not an exact match and conse
