These people are studying English. However, they are now facing some problems.
I am Pablo. I work 50 hours a week as a taxi driver, so I talk to people all day. They understand me, but I know I make a lot of mistakes. No one corrects me. My vocabulary is strong. Grammar is my problem. I'm trying to change little by little. For example, I don't use the past tense (过去时). I always say, “I drive him to the office this morning” instead of “I drove him to the office this morning”．
My name is Maria Luisa. I'm teaching myself English, and I'm good at grammar. However, it's really difficult to find ways to practice English. I live in an area where everyone speaks my language. My neighbors and friends speak Spanish. I can speak Spanish in the supermarket and at the post office.
I am Li Ping. I understand the grammar and the readings in my class and I think my writing is good, but I'm very nervous when I speak English. I don't want to make any mistakes because I'm afraid people will think that I'm stupid. Also, my pronunciation isn't good. When I speak, people often say, “What? Say that again.”
I am Yoshi. I have been in the United States for one year. I'm studying hard and I know grammar well, but the vocabulary is very difficult. When I listen, I don't understand many of the words. When I try to read, there are three or four new words in every sentence. I feel discouraged.

Do you think the United Kingdom and the United States are alike? Winston Churchill once joked that the people of Britain and the people of America are separated only by their language. Do you think that is true? The British and the Americans both speak English as the official language. However, each uses some different words. We Americans are similar to the British. After all, our country was once owned by the UK, so we have a lot in common. But there are many differences between us.
The UK has a king or queen, and the leader of the government is the Prime Minister. The US has no kings or queens. Our leader is the President.
Both the British and Americans use pounds and ounces, pints, quarts, and gallons. Both use miles, yards, and feet. Our money is different, though. The British use pounds and pence. Americans use dollars and cents.
Driving in a car is very different in the UK. They drive on the left side of the road. We drive on the right. What we call the hood of the car, the British call the “bonnet”. British cars run on “petrol”， which we call gasoline.
In our everyday life, we do many of the same things as the British. But we describe them differently. A young mother here might push a baby in a baby carriage. A British mum pushes a “pram”. The British watch “telly”， while we watch TV. We like to eat French fries, but the British call them “chips”. Millions of Americans drink coffee, but most British prefer tea.
So we are different in many ways. But we stay friendly anyway.
5．What can we know from Winston Churchill's joke?

Australia was first used as an island prison by Britain to solve their problem of having a fast growing prison population. These early settlers were those who were sent from all over Great Britain, including Ireland, Wales, and Scotland. Later events, such as the gold rush, caused several waves of immigration (移居) from Europe, Asia and other parts of the world. It is commonly thought that Australians are offspring (后代) of those criminals (罪犯)! In fact, only a part of Australians are those criminals' offspring. Also, in those days, people could be put into prison or sent to Australia for small crimes, like stealing a loaf of bread. Today Australia is home to the largest Greek and Italian communities in the world, outside Greece and Italy. This has helped the Australian accent develop.
Australian English was created by the first generation of children born in the new area. Since they talked with people who have different accents, they began to speak a distinct dialect of English that was to become the language of the nation. These differences were first noted by late arrivals in the early 1800s, and the language sounds like Cockney English, spoken by the working class in London.
Soon, words from native languages were to become part of the Australian English. Here are some words you may consider them to be Standard English. In fact, they are from native Australian languages!
△The names of many places and animals, including Canberra (the Australian capital, meaning “meeting place” in the local language)．
△Hard yakka—meaning “hard work”， coming from the language of the Brisbane area.
△Cooee—a call used traditionally by native Australians to attract attention, because the sound can travel long distances.
△Bung—meaning “dead”， but also used to mean broken or useless. For example, “He has a bung eye.”
9．What is commonly believed according to Paragraph 1?
A．Australians are offspring of those criminals.
B．Some Australians are children of those criminals.
C．Small crimes meant going to prison in Australia.
D．Australians are offspring of the British people.
10．What does the underlined word “distinct” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Interesting. B．Different.
C．Beautiful. D．Difficult.
11．What do the words mentioned in the last paragraph have in common?
A．They are all Standard English.
B．They all mean places and animals.
C．They are only used by Australians.
D．They are all from native Australian languages.

Babbel is an excellent language tool to help you progress step by step with learning a new language. It helps you learn grammar along the way as you work your way through the tasks and assignments.

Rather than have you work through tasks and memorize different things, the app lets you match people who share your interests but speak the language you want to learn. You can then have text, voice and video conversations with people who want to learn your native language, and in return you learn theirs, all by simply communicating with each other. It's a great way to learn with only $1 a day.

If you want to become a fluent English speaker, you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.
Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meaning of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come_across,_but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.
As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, and then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.
For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.
If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically (自动地), and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.
8．According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?
A．Reading and listening.
B．Reading and writing.
C．Writing and speaking.
D．Speaking and listening.
9．The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “________”．
A．meet by accident B．discover
C．find on purpose D．look for
10．The author seems to agree with the view that ________.
A．everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day
B．you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every day
C．being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening
D．you should take notes of whatever you are hearing
11．The passage is mainly about how to ________.
A．choose suitable listening materials
B．deal with new words in reading
C．improve your English as quickly as possible
D．become fluent in speaking and writing English
Ⅱ.七选五
Do you want to be at the top of your class? Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student!
__1__ I cannot stress enough how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher is teaching you. Take part in class discussions if you have something worthwhile to add. Pay attention during class, especially during lectures.
Taking notes is important. You don't need to write down every single word your teacher says but write down what he/she writes on the board, or any special fact you think you might need for a test. __2__ This way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.
Don't skip school. You will be missing out on stuff. __3__ However, you will have more work and you have missed lectures and in－class movies. Also, try not to be late for class. It's most likely that your teacher won't appreciate it and you will get yourself behind.
Keep a good attitude towards things. If you have an “I don't care about school or this class” attitude, then teachers will be less willing to help you with problems or offer you extra credit. The same goes for a lazy attitude. Have a respectful attitude to teachers and other students. __4__
Always ask questions. __5__ If you don't understand, ask someone. Read your textbook and notes, and then if that fails, seek help. Ask a teacher, friend, classmate, parent, etc. Get a tutor if you need one.
A．Be prepared.
B．Write in your own words.
C．Staying organised will be helpful.
D．There is no shame in needing some help.
E．Pay attention to everything the teacher says.
F．It is true that you could make up the work.
G．Try not to laugh when other students make a mistake.

A student is learning to speak British English. He wonders: Can I communicate with Americans? Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask: What are the differences between British and American English? How important are these differences?
Certainly! there are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen？”. Americans say “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen？”. Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird” and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound theirs in these words. There are differences between British and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour” and “honour” are British, “color” and “honor” are American.
These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.

Speak English with native English speakers.
Probably the single best technique for learning a new language is immersing yourself in the language. __5__
Take an English course.
These days, you can find a course tailored specifically to how you learn best—a visual course, an audible course or even an interactive instructor lead course. You can take any of these types of courses live or on the Internet.

Best wishes!

Li Hua
第二节：概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Have you heard an old saying “The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence.”？ It means other places often look better, more interesting than the place where you live. “Let's go to KFC for dinner and then watch some Japanese cartoons！” We all know it: More and more Chinese kids love American and Japanese food and movies. Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way. They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and, instead, buying Japanese cartoon books, watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.
Foreign books and soap operas are good, but Chinese writers and actors are just as good. As for holidays, Christmas is nice, but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that the Spring Festival has, and the West has nothing to compare with the Mid－Autumn Festival. China has lots of cool things in its culture, such as calligraphy, Beijing Opera and so on. And let's not forget the part of Chinese culture: its friendliness. Not all countries are as warm as China.
It's good to enjoy other cultures and learn from them, but they can never replace your own culture. It's good to look at the other side of the fence, but make sure you take a good long look. You will find that the grass isn't always greener.
Although some people become worried about that, I don't think they should. Will we get more powerful without learning from other countries? Will Chinese people live more happily without American fast food? Besides, it's fun to learn about different cultures. Chinese kids can learn about other cultures and have fun, but they also need to learn more about their own culture. Be proud of Chinese culture and of being Chinese!
