    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    How words came into being is unknown.All we assume(推测)is that some early men invented certain sounds，in one way or another，to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，so that they could talk with each other.Later they agreed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be put together to show those sounds，and which could be written down.Those sounds，whether spoken or written in letters，are called words.

        The power of words，then，lies in their associations—the things they bring up to our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience；and the longer we live，the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.

        Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings.This clever use of words is what we call literary style(文体)．Above all，the real poet is a master of words.He can express his meaning in words which sing like music，and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly，or they will make our speech silly and common.

    68．We learn from the text that language might have begun with ________.

    A．expressions        B．actions

    C．signs      D．sounds

    69．What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?

    A．The learning of new words.

    B．The importance of old words.

    C．The relation of human experience with words.

    　　Paper-cutting is a very typical visual art of Chinese handicrafts(手工艺品)．It originated from the 6th century when women used to paste the silver cuttings onto their hair．Later, they were used during festivals to decorate gates and windows．After hundreds of years'development, now they have become a very popular means of decoration among country people, especially women．

    　　The main cutting tools are simple：paper and scissors or a cutting knife, but clever and skillful craftspeople are really good at cutting in the theme of daily life．When you look at items made in this method carefully, you will be amazed by the true expressions of the figure's, emotion and appearance, or natural plants and animals'diverse gestures．Patterns of flowers display the beautiful petals(花瓣), pied magpies show their tiny feathers, and others such as a married daughter returning to her parents'home, or young people paying a New Year call to their grandparents．

    　　It is easy to learn about cutting a piece of paper, but very difficult to master it with perfection．One must grasp the knife in an upright fashion and press steadily on the paper with some strength．Flexibility is required but any hesitation or wiggling will lead to imprecision or damage the whole cutting．Cutters stress the cutting lines in several styles．They attempt to carve a circle like the moon, a straight line like a stem of wheat, a square like a brick, and jaggedly like the beard．

    　　People find hope and comfort in expressing wishes with paper cuttings．For example：for a wedding ceremony, red paper cuttings are a traditional and required decoration on the tea set, the dressing table glass, and on other furniture．A big red paper character 'Xi'(happiness)is a traditional must on the newlywed's door．Upon the birthday party of a senior, the character 'Shou'represents long life and will add delight to the whole celebration; while a pattern of chubby(胖乎乎的)children holding fish signifies that every year they will be rich in wealth．

    A. Speak, speak, speak

    Practise speaking as often as you can---even speaking to yourself is good practice. Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version(版本), see how you can do better and have another go. If you do this several times, you will find that each version is better than the last.

    B. Why not learn with someone else?

    It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will make you keep working. Agree times to meet and set goals for the week. And test each other regularly.

     Don’t get a shock by a word you don’t know

    Practise improvising（即兴的） ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously（本能地）, even if you don’t know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time. A basic example is the use 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 “yesterday”.

    Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to get your meaning across.

    D.    Language learning is also about intuition（直觉）.

    Guesswork is an important strategy in learning a new language. When listening to recorded material, you 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 you can pick up. For example, what do the speakers sound like? happy, angry, calm etc.

    E. Build up your vocabulary.

    A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much 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 come back to them later. Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic. And above all, have fun!

    请阅读以下英语学习者在学习中碰到的困难，然后匹配该学习者应该采取上述五种做法（A、B、C、D、E）中的某一种。

    2.Margret Lillian. Margret Lillian’s pronunciation is poor. And she doesn’t know how to improve her pronunciation. She is very worried and doesn’t know what to do.

    3.Alice Fingerhut. Alice has difficulty in understanding the meaning of the English text. So she looks up the new words in the dictionary in order to understand everything.

    4.Lynne Nagata. Lynne can’t express herself clearly in English because she sometimes forgets some key words and doesn’t know the tenses exactly. What can she do?
