“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart.
If you can recite the text and write it out, you’ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you’re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect. This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress.
Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.
Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.
51.In the writer’s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is ____.
A. to forget your own native language
B. to translate everything into his own language
C. to practise speaking, writing and feeling it
D. to memorize the English words and grammatical rules
52. “Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way.”This sentence means that memorizing your own language can ________.
A. help you to study English well B. help you notice mistakes
C. make English easy to learn D. stop you mastering English
53.Equally important is to feel the language. “to feel the language” here means________.
A. to be able to experience the rich sensation of the language
B. to get a knowledge of English by touching
C. to be able to read and write English
D. to translate English into your own by imagining
54. How is the passage organized?
A. ① B. ① ② C. ① D. ① ② ③
② ③ ③
④ ④ ② ③ ④ ④
55. The writer wrote the passage in order to tell us .
A. the most effective ways of learning English. B. writing is very necessary.
C. the only way of learning English well is to feel the language.
D. only by speaking can you make a great progress in English.

There was once a captain（船长）who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors（水手） at the end of every voyage and took their wages（工资）.
On the last day of one voyage, the ship was in a small port. It was winter time, and the sea was very cold, so the captain said to his sailors, "If one of you stays in the water during the whole night, I will give him my ship. But if he comes out before the sun appears, I shall get his wages."
The sailors had heard about the captain's cheating, so they didn't trust him. But then one of them, who thought that he was cleverer than the captain, said that he would do it. He got into the water, and, though it was very cold, he stayed in it. When it was nearly morning, some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away.
"You are cheating," the captain said to the sailor. "The fire's warming you."
"But it's half a mile away!" said the sailor.
"A fire's fire," answered the captain. "I have won."
The sailor came out of the water, and said, "Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages, but you can't cook a chicken."
"I can," answered the captain.
"If you cook this chicken," said the sailor, "I shall work for you without wages for seven years, but if you can't, you will give me your ship."
The captain agreed, took the chicken and said, "Where's the fire?"
"There it is," answered the sailor. "On the shore."
"But it's half a mile away," said the captain angrily.
" 'A fire's fire,' you said," answered the sailor. "If it is enough to warm me in the water, it is enough to cook your chicken."
56. The captain got the sailors' wages ________.
A. by cheating them B. to buy a chicken for himself
C. and kept the money for future use D. and said he would return the money soon
57. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. It was the sailor who was cleverer. B. The captain succeeded in cheating the sailor.
C. All the sailors refused to get into the water because it was too cold.
D. The captain knew that the fire the fishermen made was enough to warm the sailor in the water.
58. The captain insisted that the fire was warming the sailor because he ________.
A. didn't believe the sailor's success B. wanted to keep his promise
C. wanted to show his cleverness D. didn't want to lose the bet(打赌)
59. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A. The sailors didn't trust the captain. B. The captain failed to cheat the sailor this time.
C. The sailor didn't get out of the water before the sun appeared.
D. In order to help the sailor in the water, the fishermen made a fire.

下文是一篇介绍英语学习方法的文章，请给每个段落选一个恰当的标题。
English learning isn’t an easy thing, but most people can learn it well if they’re willing to put in the necessary time. Here are some practical suggestions for learning English effectively, overcoming anxiety（焦虑）, and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in English classes.
61．
Have a clear personal reason for taking an English class. Set personal goals for what you want to learn. Leave perfectionism（完美主义） at the door；give yourself permission(允许) to make mistakes and learn from them.
62．
Study a different task（任务）each time：vocabulary now, grammar next, etc. Get an overview during the first half hour：spend 10 minutes reviewing dialog,10 minutes learning new vocabulary,10 minutes learning new grammar...So you’ll at least have looked at it all. About 80% of your study time should be spent on recitation or practice.
63．
Get to know your classmates, so you’ll feel you’re among friends. Visit your teacher during office hours. Explain your goals and fears about the course to your friends or your teacher.
64．
Class time is your best opportunity to practice. Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time. Spend a few minutes “warming up” before each class by speaking or reading English.
65．
English learning is cumulative（累积的）：you cannot put it off until tomorrow. Study one or two hours for every class hour if you want a good mark.
Grammar is the skeleton and the basic structure of a language, so you must learn it.
A. Learn grammar well.
B. Divide(把…分开) your study time.
C. Study every day.
D. Develop a good attitude.
E. Make yourself comfortable.
F. Attend and participate in（参与）every class—even if you aren’t well prepared.

Dear Mr Wang,
I’m a student from Huabu Senior High School. At present, the number of students learning English in our class are increasing rapidly. Unluckily, my speaking English is very poor. Although I have tried my best, but I still find (it) hard to speak English well. So I fell quite upset. It is not easy for a Chinese person to speak English as fluent as a native speaker. One of the reason is that English has a large vocabulary. It also has different usage in different countries, which makes you crazy. I do want to change this situation, but I don’t know what to make it. I would be grateful if you could give me some advice.
I’m looking forward to receive your answer as soon as possible.
Yours,
