A
Here are a few tips we’ve put together to help you learn English well.
Speak，speak，speak!
Practise speaking as often as yon can--even speaking to yourself is good practice.Try recording yourself whenever you can. pare your pronunciation with the master version，see how you can do better and have another go.If yon do this several times，you will find that each version is better than the last.
Why not learn with someone else?
It helps if you can learn with someone else. If yon can persuade a friend or family member to study with yon，it will make you keep working.Agree times to meet and set goals for the week，and test each other regularly.
Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t know
Ptactise improvising(即兴的)ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地)，even if yon don't know the exact words or phrases.Think of things yon might want to say whenever yon have spare time.A basic example is the rise of tenses.If you don't know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday，use the verb in the present tense and use the word for“yesterday”.Use facial expression，hand movements，anything to get your meaning across.
Language learning is also about intuition(直觉)
Guesswork is an important strategy in learning a new language.When listening to recorded material，yon aren’t expected to understand everything first time round.If you play the same piece several times，you will most probably understand something new each time.Learn to make maximum use of all the clues yon can pick up.For example，what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? etc.
Build up your vocabulary
A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to learn too mach at once.It’s best to study frequently，for short periods of time.Take a maximum of six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them.Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind，then e back to them later.Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic.
And above all，have fun!
（ ）46.Why should one have himself recorded when practising speaking?
A. To encourage others to start B. To record his own progress.
C. To improve his speaking. D. To pare himself with others.
（ ）47.Which of the following is the most important in learning English?
A.Speaking. B.Pleasure. C.Intuition. D.Vocabulary.
（ ）48.It is implied in the passage that is helpful when you are learning English.
A.body language B.a good memory
C.a good friend D.a proper dictionary
（ ）49.Which of the following proverbs(谚语) seems not to be always true in learning a language?
A.Practice makes perfect. B.A good beginning is half done.
C.Rome is not built in a day. D.Don’t run before you can walk.
B
By far the most mon difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.
Few students work to a set timetable .They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be .
No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others .There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work .Many able students state that they work in cycles .When they bee interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time .On other days they avoid work pletely .It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation（动机）to work .Most people over 25 years of age have bee used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work .The “tough-minded” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration（灵感）.
Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom” .Freedom from control and discipline（纪律）leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development” . Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality （准时），and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands.
（ ）50.The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is .
A.changing from one subject to another
B.the failure to keep to a set timetable of work
C.the unwillingness to follow a systematic plan
D.working on a subject only when one feels like it
（ ）51.Which of the following is true?
A.Many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable.
B.Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed timetable.
C.Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.
D.Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.
（ ）52.The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means .
A. when they have the energy B. when they are in the mood
C. when they feel fit D. when they find conditions suitable
（ ）53.A suitable title for the passage might be .
A. Attitudes to Study B.A Study Plan
C. The difficulties of Studying D. Study and Self-discipline

What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.
We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to bee dull and unintelligent.
Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”
（ ）54. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.
A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understanding
B. pretty and handsome; ordinary-looking
C. great and important; mon
D. hopeful and helpful; careless　
（ ）55. A person ________ is more likely to bee a genius.
A. whose parents are clever
B. often thinking about difficult problems
C. often helped by his parents and teachers
D. born with a good brain and putting it into active use　
（ ）56. It is better for parents ________.
A. to praise and encourage their children more often
B. to be hard on their children
C. to leave their children alone with nothing to do
D. to give their children as much help as possible　
（ ）57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?
A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.
B. The less you use your mind the duller you may bee.
C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.
D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.
D
No one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would e next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese women won the game ──by their co ──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. A Chinese saying goes, “When two petent opponents (比赛的双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win. “This is the spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showe
