三、阅读理解
When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation(住所). I suggested that they should stay at local bed and breakfasts, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
“We didn’t stay at bed and breakfasts,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”
I thought this was odd. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to the house where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to the house where there was a sign saying “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full.
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. But that was not the case. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, however, it usually means that you have to take the road because the usual roads are closed.
English people have problems too when they are faced with foreign languages. Once in Paris, I happened to see a “librairie”. I thought it was a library and walked into it, asking to borrow some books. However, to my surprise the “librarians” all stared at me in amazement! Later I found out that “librairie” in French means “bookstore”.
19．What kind of advice did the author’s Spanish friends want
A．Learning English.
B．Going to England by car.
C．Finding places to stay in England.
D．Driving their car on English roads.
20．The author suggested that his friends stay at bed and breakfasts because ________.
A．they would be able to practice their English
B．it would be convenient for them to have dinner
C．it would be much cheaper than staying in hotels
D．they would have no problem in finding accommodation there
21．What does “NO VACANCIES” in English mean
A．Holidays. B．No empty rooms.
C．Rooms available. D．Not away on holiday.
四、七选五
If you are like most international students, you are probably pretty comfortable reading and writing in English. 22 Below are some tips to help you to improve your conversational skills.
Make friends with American students. Many international students end up making friends with a lot of-or only -other international students. 23 Hanging out with natives not only naturally pushes you to improve your spoken English, but also helps you pick up cultural and social information.
Learn from American friends. Tell your American friends that you are trying to improve your listening and speaking skills, and would like them to help you. If you pronounce a word incorrectly, or misuse an idiom, you ask them to guide you. 24
Increase your Knowledge. 25 If you have been exposed to topics that are likely to be discussed in conversation, you have a much better chance of understanding people when they talk, and of being able to express yourself well.
26 If you have to explain something to someone, you have a strong motivation to pronounce everything as well as you can, and find other ways to explain yourself. Finally, this becomes a good habit. Many people have asked me how I learned to speak English fluently, and I owe most of it to my years of being a math teacher in college for years.
A．It is bad for them to do that.
B．You will make progress this ways.
C．If possible, become a teacher at your school.
D．It’s a win-win opportunity for international students.
E．Keep up with news and watch popular shows and movies.
F．Explaining everything in a different way counts.
G．You may have trouble in listening and speaking in the language, however.
