As the saying goes, 揑f at first you don't succeed, try, try again. This is never truer than when you are trying to master English. Lai Shixiong, a respected English master from Taiwan, has a story to share.
Like many non-native speakers, Lai failed when he first started learning English. When he was in high school, he once got an unbelievably low mark of 7 out of 100 on an English test. He almost gave up on English, but then he entered a military school (军校), where he met a classmate who was good at English.
Amazed by his classmate’s American accent, Lai decided to start learning English from the beginning. As he put it, “I saw myself as a baby who had just started to learn a language.” To correct his pronunciation, Lai practiced phonetic symbols (音标) hundreds of times every day using records.
When he was able to pronounce words, Lai said he began to practice dialogues. Not being able to find someone to practice with, Lai created a learning atmosphere（氛围）on his own.” I just talked to myself as if I were in a dialogue.” he said.
Lai also thought of ways to improve his skills. He used English to describe everything he saw. He even translated speeches when he went to class meetings at the military school. He also read and listened to English news to learn new expressions.
揟here is no shortcut to mastering a language. You have to practice. Lai said. After all, Rome wasn抰 built in a day.
4. According to the passage, if one wants to master English, he should _______.
A. keep trying B. turn to a teacher
C. share his story with others D. ask a classmate for help
5. What抯 the main idea of the second paragraph?
Lai met a classmate.
Lai entered a military school.
Lai used to be weak in English.
Lai learned English after school.
6. Whom did Lai talk to when he practiced dialogues?
A. Himself. B. His brother.
C. A classmate. D. An English teacher.
7. How did Lai improve his skills in English?
A. By pronouncing new words hundreds of times.
By talking with a native speaker.
C. By describing everything in English and Chinese.
D. By reading and listening to English news.
8.What do you think of Lai Shixiong?
A. He is easy-going. B. He is helpful.
C. He is friendly. D. He is strong-willed.
C
As the coronavirus disease(冠状病毒) takes hold and causes lockdowns(禁闭) in major urban centers, researchers studying air pollution data are recording significant improvements in air quality levels. The change is so huge that some believe these short-term reductions could end up saving many more lives than those who are lost to the virus itself.
"These are quite great times," Francois Gemenne, director of The Hugo Observatory, an environmental research center, said during an appearance on France 24's The Debate. "What surprises me most is that the measures that we are ready to take to face this coronavirus are much more severer than the measures we would be ready to take to face climate change or air pollution."
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 91% of the world's population live in places where air quality levels are beyond acceptable limits. Globally, this results in nearly 4. 2 million deaths annually, according to 2016 statistics.
Recent data from the European Space Agency's(ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite have shown a marked reduction over Italy in the amount of nitrogen dioxide(二氧化氮), a gas produced from road traffic and other processes, during the country s nationwide lockdown.
"Although there could be slight variations in the data due to cloud cover and changing weather, we are very confident about the improvement of air quality because of less traffic and industrial activities," said Josef Aschbacher, ESA's Director of Earth Observation Programmes.
People living in Venice have noticed how much clearer the water has become now that the city is in lockdown. Fishes have been seen in the canals, which is unusual for waters normally full of mud caused by so much canal traffic, reports CNN. In some cities, animals are cautiously exploring new areas, especially in urban areas.
9. What can we learn from what Francois said?
A. Air pollution is not serious as we imagine.
B. We will meet with huge change of climate.
C. Dealing with the coronavirus will be very tough.
D. What we do to beat the coronavirus is surprising.
10. What do the data in paragraph 3 mainly indicate?
A. There is little air pollution in the world. B. Air pollution is very severe globally.
C. Most people will die from air pollution. D. The earth is too terrible for people to live on.
11. What does the last paragraph want to tell us?
A. Traffic jam will not be seen from now on.
B. We have solved the problem of water pollution.
C. The environment has improved due to the lockdown.
D. Staying at home is the only way to beat the coronavirus.
12. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A textbook. B. A guidebook. C. A novel. D. A newspaper.
D
Knowing how much her own children loved presents at Christmas, Ann Sutton always tried to seek help for one or two poor families. With a social worker mother, the Sutton children had inherited (继承) her commitment to service, and knew never to take their good fortune at Christmas for granted. This year, Kinzie, her seven-year-old daughter was excited that Santa Claus would make a special visit to a 22-year-old mother named Ashley who worked in a factory raising her 12-month-old son by herself.
The phone rang on Sunday. A representative from a local organization was calling to say that the aid Ann had requested for Ashley had fallen through. No Santa Claus, no presents, nothing.
Ann saw the cheer fade away from her children's faces at the news. Without a word, Kinzie ran into her bedroom. She returned, her face set with determination. Opening up her piggy bank, she put all the coins onto the table: $3.30. Everything she had. Mom, she told Ann, I know it抯 not much. But maybe this will buy a present for the baby.
At the breakfast meeting the next day, Ann told her co-workers about her daughter抯 story. To her surprise, staff members began to open their purses, and empty their pockets to help Kinzie.
On Christmas Eve, Ann drove through the pouring rain to the small trailer where the Ashley lived. Then she began to unload the gifts from the car, handing them to Ashley one by one. Ashley was very moved. Reflecting on a little girl抯 generosity, Ashley says she抣l one day be able to do something similar for someone else in need. 揔inzie could have used that money for herself, but she gave it away, Ashley says, 揝he抯 the type of kid I抎 like my son to grow up to be.
13. What can we know about Ann抯 children according to Paragraph 1?
A. They were living a rich life.
B. They were ready to help others.
C. They showed no interest in Christmas.
D. They were excited to visit Ashley.
14.When hearing the aid had fallen through, Kinzie _______.

C. realized she wasted too much money
D. decided to buy a present for the baby
15. What did Ann do to help Ashley?

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Li Hua from Class One, Senior Two. I’m writing to apply for the opportunity to help the students in Chenxi Hope School with their English. Thus they can improve their English during the winter vacation. Meanwhile, I can learn how to get along with the students and benefit the whole school.
I think I’m qualified for the position. To begin with, I’m kind by nature, easy-going and always ready to help others. What’s more, being independent, I can deal with my daily routine to take care of myself. Last but not least, English is my favorite subject and I’ve won several prizes in English contests, which will help me make my work a success.
I plan to communicate with the students first to know what they need most in their English study. Besides, I’ll try to get them more interested in English by telling stories, singing songs, playing games and so on.
I’d appreciate it if you could give me the opportunity.
Yours sicnerely,
Li Hua
