English is very important in the modern world. Many people want to learn it well. Here are some things that I want to say about learning it.
To learn English well, you need two things－passion and good learning methods (方法). Passion is the more important one. Why? Because passion makes you want to learn English. Learning methods only tell you how to learn it better and faster.
If you love learning English, you will learn it regularly (有规律地) and spend much time on it. It will also be easy for you to remember new words and grammar rules. ________ For example, some people like history and know a lot about World War II. If you ask a person who doesn’t like history to memorize all the facts, he probably can’t do it.
When you don’t want to learn English, you can do the following things.
First, imagine that you can talk to native speakers just as you talk in your mother language. Imagine yourself to be a manager in a foreign company. Imagine you’re living in an English-speaking country.
Second, use English as much as possible. This is very important. The more you use English, the better you’ll learn it. English is very popular, so you can use it everywhere. You can watch American cartoons, write English diaries, and read interesting books written in English.
38. The underlined word “passion” means “______” in Chinese.
A. 态度 B. 热情 C. 步骤 D. 情绪
39. The missing part in the Paragraph 3 can be ______.
A. You can’t memorize everything while learning English
B. You will find it hard to learn English
C. That’s because you can easily remember what you like
D. Everyone likes to learn what they like most
40. What can you do if you don’t want to learn English according to (根据) the passage?
A. Go to English-speaking countries. B. Read interesting English books.
C. Stop learning it for some time. D. Listen to music or play sports.
41. The main idea of this passage is about ______.
A. the importance of learning English B. English in the modern world
C. how to write e-mails to other people D. some advice on how to learn English
D
How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.
People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend (伸展) or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指）to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.
Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的) people in Australia. These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.
In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(麻省理工学院) discovered that people of the Piraha tribe(部落) in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three.” They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees,” “more trees,” or “many trees.” Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it’s not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.”
Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量), not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.
42. The writer begins with the four questions in order to______.
A. make a survey B. interest readers
C. tell a story D. solve math problems
43. What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the U.S. and China?
A. People from China count much faster than people from the U.S.
B. People from China need two hands to count from one to ten.
C. People of different cultures may use different ways of finger counting.
D. People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.
44. Which of following is true about aboriginal Australians?
A. They have only a few words for numbers
B. They have hand movements to stand for numbers
C. They can only count to five on their fingers
D. They can understand different ideas about numbers【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
45. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. People from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and math.
B. Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than Americans.
C. In some aboriginal culture, people don’t even know how to count.
D. Some languages don’t have number words because people don’t need numbers.
