A

One day Mr. White gave his wife ten pounds for her birthday — ten new pound notes. So Mrs. White went out shopping. She waited for a bus, got on it and sat down next to an o1d 1ady. After a while, Mrs. White noticed that the old 1ady’s handbag was open. Inside it, she saw a wad（叠）of pound notes exactly like the ones her husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag — the notes had gone! Mrs. White was sure that the o1d lady next to her had stolen them. She immediately thought of calling the police. But as she disliked making a fuss（小题大作）, she decided to take back the money from the old 1ady’s hand bag and say nothing about it. She looked around to make sure nobody was watching. Then she carefully put her hand into the o1d lady’s bag, took the notes, and put them into her own handbag.

When she got home that evening, Mrs. White showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought.

“How did you pay for it?” Mr. White asked.

In Britain in the 1890s there was a postcard “craze(热潮)”. People formed clubs and collected and exchanged postcards. Even Queen Victoria had her own private collection. When Edward was the king, the British had a cheap and good postal system. If anyone wanted to tell a friend that they were coming for tea in the afternoon, they would send a postcard in the morning. “Drop me a card” was as common then as “give me a ring” as now.

In 1902 an important step was taken. The government said that half of the side that was used for the address on the postcard could be used for messages, and the whole of the other side could be used for a picture. It was then that the simple postcard, as we know now, was created. 5. In Britain in the 1890s, _______.

C

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that

their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY（准确性）. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.

Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.

9．What is most probably the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?

A．To improve your reading. B．To improve your listening. C．To improve your spoken English. D．To improve your vocabulary. 10．It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _______.

A．don’t be fluency. Just be accuracy! B．don’t be nervous, don’t be shy. Just write! C．don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Just speak! D．don’t be shy, don’t be fluency. Just listen and write!

11．The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “_______”.

2

A．more hurry, less speed B．better late than never C．silence is gold D．practice makes perfect12．The text is most probably taken from a _________.

A．teacher’s diary B．report on study C．sports newspaper D．movie magazine

D

I used to think education was the most important thing in my life . Recently my attitude has began to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my school, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of my people, I was trembling. I didn’t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech ,leaving everyone puzzled. I cried

that night in my room ,feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I have received many awards in school, but they don’t show anything about me. I am just storing knowledge, yet fail to communicate with others. When I leave school I feel I will be of no use to society.

I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good change to get to know society.

13、From the passage we can learn that the author______. A. comes to know how important it is to make some money

B. realizes that it is more important to develop oneself than just to learn knowledge C. does not think education is the most important thing in his life any more D. thinks that getting along well with others is more important than education

14. The author believes the awards he has received ____.

A. show that he is a top student B. show how much time he has spent in learning C. mean that he knows how to learn D. don’t necessarily show he is excellent in many ways

15.The author feels fearful that he will be of no use to society mainly because______. A.he is unable to develop himself B. studying takes too much of his time C.he does not know how to communicate with others D. he feels that he is a failure II. 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
