Nowadays everybody seems to think that they know English. Many people speak it but few speak it really well. Practice is necessary in speaking English well.
Reading is also one of the things that will help you to speak English better. Read whenever you can and whatever you like! Read papers and Internet sites that you like in English every day. Then, you will see that the number of known words is increasing and you are able to speak with more skills. Then you will have made the foundations and a good basis of English. It is not good to stop and get stuck there.
Going to England or an English speaking country is a good choice, but many people cannot afford it. If you cannot go, reading and speaking with your friends will also help you to practice your English. However, I think it is very good to visit some English speaking country to see and test your knowledge in everyday life. You will understand the everyday usage of the language in its natural environment. There your level of English is going to improve even faster. Your ability to speak English is better. Nothing can match the excitement and happiness when a native speaker tells you that your English is very good!
Finally, in order to speak English well, you must be persistent and do it every day. It is like playing the piano. Pianists play it every day and so should you. Include English in your life and you will see where it is going. Practice, Practice! Read, write and improve your language skills and you are on your way when you will be able to speak it with more and more confidence！
1．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．How to Improve Your Language Skills
B．Speaking English
C．How to Speak English Well
D．Practice, Practice!
2．What does the writer suggest about reading
A．Trying to improve your vocabulary.
B．Keeping on reading when you have time.
C．Stopping when you have a good basis of English.
D．Looking up every unknown word when reading.
3．The main idea of the last paragraph is that ________.
A．we should play the piano every day
B．speaking English is fun and entertaining
C．if we've learned to read and write, we'll certainly be able to speak
D．we should practice English every day to improve our speaking skills

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend's email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously， it is a word by word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words could not convince me at all. So I did a research on . To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.” This sentence has been widely used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible places. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Ironically， if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood movie makers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew. All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together, and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic (少数民族的成员) group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.
You can have some other examples than adoptions (采用) from Chinese, such as pizza from Italian, susi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others. They will modify it and make it their own, so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant, or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor.
5．The writer himself felt surprised at ________.
A．the Chinglish expression “Long time no see”
B．so many literal translation of the expressions used in America
C．“Long time no see” used as standard American English
D．finding out Americans use the expression every day
6．The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means “________”．
A．Confucius' words
B．mixture culture
C．a kind of cooked dish
D．American changing cultures
7．According to the passage, it can be inferred that ________.
A．detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”
B．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew
C．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages
D．Hollywood made “Long time no see” popular

八．七选五
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
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.” __1__ 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. __2__ However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
__3__ 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. 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. __4__
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive (主动的) 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. __5__
A．The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
B．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.
C．They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.
D．If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
E．Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.
F．However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”！
G．The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned

本文是一篇记叙文，体现了“人与社会”的主题语境。本文主要讲述了主修语言学的在校生卢卡斯意外地发现了一枚刻着特殊符号的贝壳，通过调查，得知是甲骨文的变体，他申请了研究并取得突破，他的研究成果引起了轰动。

3. B 选项：pants裤子；symbols符号；affairs 事务；gaps缺口。见上题解析。
4. A 选项：investigation调查；calligraphy书法；delivery运送，演讲方式；summary总结。由本句的“he knew it was from a small village.”可知，基于他严谨的“调查(investigation)”，他知道这个贝壳是来自一个小村庄。

8. C 选项：suffered遭受；learned学习；differed不同于；survived生存。从本句的“He found the mother tongue of villagers was a special dialect”可知，这种方言的词汇“不同于(differed from)”和14亿人讲的普通话的词汇，前后比较。
9. D 选项：emergencies紧急事件；disasters灾难；crashes碰撞；challenges挑战。上文提到卢卡斯第一次来到这个小村庄，且村民都说方言，以及由常识可知，掌握方言和做研究肯定是充满了很多“挑战(challenges)”。

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend's email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.
Obviously， it is a word by word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too surprised to believe her. Her words could not convince me at all. So I did a research on . To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.” This sentence has been widely used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible places. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Ironically， if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan's movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood movie makers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew. All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together, and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic (少数民族的成员) group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.
You can have some other examples than adoptions (采用) from Chinese, such as pizza from Italian, susi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others. They will modify it and make it their own, so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant, or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor.
5．The writer himself felt surprised at ________.
A．the Chinglish expression “Long time no see”
B．so many literal translation of the expressions used in America
C．“Long time no see” used as standard American English
D．finding out Americans use the expression every day
6．The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means “________”．
A．Confucius' words
B．mixture culture
C．a kind of cooked dish
D．American changing cultures
7．According to the passage, it can be inferred that ________.
A．detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”
B．cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew
C．the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages
D．Hollywood made “Long time no see” popular

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
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.” __1__ 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. __2__ However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
__3__ 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. 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. __4__
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive (主动的) 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. __5__
A．The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
B．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.
C．They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.
D．If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
E．Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.
F．However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”！
G．The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned
