First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence(自信)
14、 and without hesitation(犹豫). Thirdly, 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 memory(记忆) is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no muc
15、h use learning by heart long lists(一览表) 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 are not really learning the language. We must “Learn through use”. Practice is important. We must prac
16、tise speaking and writing the language whenever(无论何时) we can.31. The most important things to learn a foreign language are_.A. understanding and speaking B. hearing, speaking, reading and writingC. writing and understanding D. memorizing and listening32. Someone hears and writes English very well, b
17、ut he speaks it very badly. This is because_.A. he doesnt understand the language when he hears it spokenB. he doesnt have a good memoryC. he always remember lists of words and their meaningsD. he often hesitates to practise speaking it33. One can never learn a foreign language well only by_.A. much
18、 practice B. studying the dictionaryC. learning through useD. using the language34. Which of the following is the most important in learning a foreign language?A. A good memory.B. Speaking. C. Practice. D. Writing.35.“Learn through use” means_.A. we use a language in order to learn it B. we learn a
19、foreign language in order to use itC. we can learn a language well while we are using it D. both B and CBLanguage 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 w
20、ill “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any a
21、ttempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words 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, an
22、d so on. But since these cant be said to show the babys intention to communicate, they 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 se
23、lf-imitation(模仿)leads on to deliberate(有意的)imitation of sounds made or words spoken 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 our teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on
24、what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that 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 sound simply because he also
25、 uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to te
26、ach new sounds .36. Before children start speaking_.A.they need equal amount of listening B. they need different amounts of listeningC. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructionsD. they cant understand and obey the adults oral instructions37.

27、eaking late _.A.may have problems with their listening B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around themC.usually pay close attention to what they hear D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly38. A babys first noises are _.A.an expression of his moods and feelings B. an earl
28、y form of languageC.a sign that he means to tell you something D. an imitation of the speech of adults39. The problem of deciding at what point a babys imitations can be considered as speech_.A. is important because words have different meanings for different peopleB. is not especially important bec
29、ause the changeover takes place graduallyC. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with ageD. is one that should be completely ignored(忽略)because childrens use of words is often meaningless 40. The speaker implies_.A. parents can never hope to teach their chil
30、dren new soundsB. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakC. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quicklyD. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitatingIV. 改错(10分)I went to see film after supper. On my way to the cinema, I met an old Engl
31、ish woman, she had lost her way. I gave up the chance to see the film, walking towards her and took her to her hotel. While go there, I told her great change had been taken place in the past few years and she told me something about Britain and her family. Though I missed the film, however I felt very happy, for I not only helped the old lady out from trouble but also practise my spoken English. If I hadnt worked hard at English, I would have been able to help her. 3
