III阅读理解 （每题2分，共20分）
A
In order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary. 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) 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 much 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 practise 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 writing
C. writing and understanding D. memorizing and listening
32. Someone hears and writes English very well, but he speaks it very badly. This is because____.
A. he doesn’t understand the language when he hears it spoken
B. he doesn’t have a good memory
C. he always remember lists of words and their meanings
D. he often hesitates to practise speaking it
33. One can never learn a foreign language well only by_______.
A. much practice B. studying the dictionary
C. learning through use D. using the language
34. 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 foreign language in order to use it
C. we can learn a language well while we are using it D. both B and C
B
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 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 attempt 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, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s 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 self-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 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 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 teach new sounds .
36. 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 instructions
D. they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions
37. 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 to listen properly
38. A baby’s first noises are ________.
A.an expression of his moods and feelings　　 B. an early form of language
C.a sign that he means to tell you something　　 D. an imitation of the speech of adults
39. The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as speech______.
A. 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（忽略）because children’s use of words is often meaningless
40. 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, children still enjoy imitating
IV. 改错（10分）
I went to see film after supper. On my way to the cinema, I met an old English 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 hadn’t worked hard at English, I would have been able to help her.
