I remember walking into my first­ever Spanish class at university only to discover that half of my classmates were already fluent in many languages. It's__safe__to__say__I__felt__out__of__my__depth! At first the thought of speaking Spanish terrified me; not only were my vocabulary and grammar very limited, but I had never spoken another language before. However, I was determined to overcome my fear, and by adopting a few simple methods I have been able to build my confidence and make progress. In fact, it was not as terrible as I thought. Here, I think I will share a few tips with you. 纯话题阅读 Firstly, it is OK to make mistakes for language learners and that you should accept them. This sounds obvious, but when it comes to language learning we often aim for perfection and feel as though we are not ready to speak until we have “enough” words or grammatical knowledge. The truth is that you will never feel ready, and instead it is important to use the knowledge to communicate what you can. This leads on to my next tip: don't compare yourself to others. This can be a hard one, especially if you are in a large language class. It is important to remember that we all learn at different speeds and through different styles of learning. Something that really helped me progress was finding a patient language exchange partner. Finding someone whose level of English was similar to my level of Spanish to practice with made me feel much more confident. 纯话题阅读 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章就如何说好一种语言提出了一些建议。 Lastly, celebrate the small success and remember how far you have come! Instead of focusing on how far you have to go, focus on the progress you have already made and be proud of your achievements! 篇章导读 纯话题阅读 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I remember ... many languages.(我记得在大学里第一次走进西班牙语课堂时，我发现有一半的同学已经能流利地讲多种语言了。)”和第二段第一句“At first ... language before.(起初，一想到要说西班牙语，我就害怕；我不仅词汇量和语法非常有限，而且以前从未说过其他语言。)”可推知，画线句表明作者不会说多种语言。故选B。 1．What does the underlined part suggest in the passage? A．The author took great pride in his classmates. B．The author was unable to speak many languages. C．The author wanted to leave university immediately. D．The author failed to join in his classmates' conversation. 答案 解析 纯话题阅读 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Firstly, it is OK ... should accept them.”和第四段中的“don't compare yourself to others”可知，人们害怕犯错误，总是拿自己和别人比较，从而导致缺乏说这种语言的勇气。由此可推知，语言学习者的共同障碍是他们缺乏说这种语言的勇气。故选D。 2．What is the common barrier for language learners? A．They can't use the language in right situations. B．They fail to have a good command of grammar. C．They can't help comparing themselves to others. D．They have a lack of courage to speak the language. 答案 解析 纯话题阅读 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Something that really helped me ... more confident.”可知，在作者看来，学习西班牙语最好的方法是选择一个水平相当的语言交流伙伴。故选D。 3．What's the best way to learn Spanish in the author's opinion?

B．Mastering Spanish is a chance in a million. C．Confidence is the key to speaking a language. D．Don't ignore what you have achieved in learning. 答案 解析 纯话题阅读 (2024·四川省绵竹中学高一上月考)Today we talk about pointless, useless actions. And we have an expression to help us do that. For this expression, let's go to the beach! For a beach trip, we bring several things that can make the trip more enjoyable. For example, a beach towel makes sitting on the sand more comfortable. Some people choose to bring a beach chair. And a beach umbrella protects you from the sun's powerful rays. Swimming in the ocean can really make you hungry. So many people bring a cooler for food and drinks. 纯话题阅读 Making sandcastles on the beach is a fun activity. So, bringing sand­digging tools—like a shovel (铁铲)—and a bucket is a good idea. But you do not need to bring the sand. Most beaches have a lot of that already! And that brings us to today’ s expression: “bringing sand to the beach”． “Bringing sand to the beach” describes actions that are pointless and unnecessary. The actions are useless. This means serving no purpose. To__bring__sand__to__the__beach__can__also__mean__overkill. Overkill means to do or have more than what is necessary or useful. Often when using this expression, we say “like”. For example, bringing flowers to the opening of a flower store is like bringing sand to the beach. 纯话题阅读 We usually use “like bringing sand to the beach” when bringing something to a place is unnecessary. But you can also say the same idea with different objects and places. For example, I could also say it is “like bringing a sandwich to a restaurant”. With this example, the meaning goes one step further. It also means that what you are bringing (the sandwich) is of poorer quality than what you would find at the place (the restaurant)． 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个英语习语“Bringing sand to the beach”的用法。 写前导读 纯话题阅读 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段(去海滩旅行，我们带几样东西，可以使旅行更愉快。例如，沙滩巾让坐在沙滩上更舒服。有些人选择带一把沙滩椅。沙滩伞可以保护你免受强烈阳光的照射。在海里游泳真的会让你很饿。所以很多人带冷藏箱来装食物和饮料。)可推知，提到这些物品是为一次愉快的旅行提供必要的建议。故选C。 5．Why are so many things mentioned in Paragraph 2? A．To show many activities on a beach trip. B．To show the various meaningless things. C．To advise necessary things for a nice trip. D．To bring hope for an enjoyable family trip. 答案 解析 纯话题阅读 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“So, bringing ... that already! (因此，带上挖沙工具——比如铲子和水桶是个好主意。但是你不需要带沙子。大多数海滩已经有很多沙子了！)”可知，去沙滩带沙子是无意义的。故选D。 6．What can be pointless to bring when going to the beach? A．A towel. B．A chair. C．A shovel. D．The sand. 答案 解析 纯话题阅读 解析：句意理解题。根据第四段(“Bringing sand to the beach”描述的是毫无意义和不必要的行为。这些行为毫无用处。这意味着没有任何意义。)以及第五段中的“Overkill means ... or useful. (Overkill的意思是做的或拥有的比必要或有用的多。)”可知，做事太多和做得少一样糟糕。故选A。 7．How to understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5? A．Doing things too much is as bad as doing little. B．We should take measures to protect the ocean. C．There can't be too much killing of marine life. D．Things can't be done based on one's preferences. 答案 解析 纯话题阅读 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Today we ... do that. (今天我们谈论的是毫无意义的、无用的行为。我们有一个表达方式来帮助我们做到这一点。)”以及最后一段中的“We usually ... is unnecessary. (我们通常用‘like bringing sand to the beach’来表示把东西带到某地是不必要的。)”可推知，pointless, useless actions意为“过犹不及”。B项(及时帮助有需要的人)是其相反的表达方式。故选B。 8．Which saying has the opposite meaning of “pointless, useless actions”？ A．Teaching a fish how to swim smoothly. B．Providing timely help to those in need. C．Teaching eagles to fly higher and higher. D．Adding some fresh water to the sea. 答案 解析 纯话题阅读 (2024·江西省庐山市第一中学高一上期末)There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting. When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”， I didn't know what it meant. Realizing I didn't follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted__down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged. 纯话题阅读 Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk. Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn't follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber. 纯话题阅读 In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过生活中的一些例子告诉我们英式英语和美式英语中一些词在使用上的差异。 篇章导读 纯话题阅读 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food.”可知，Lily (莉莉)在寻找一个可以储存食物的东西。cupboard意为“橱柜”，符合题意。故选C。 9．When Lily used the word “larder”， she was probably looking for a ________． A．cup B．ladder C．cupboard D．cooker 答案 解析 纯话题阅读 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线短语后的“in her diary”以及“while I marked my calendar”可知，Lily把日期和时间记在了日记本上。由此可推知，画线短语意为“记下，写下”。故选A。 10．What does the underlined phrase “jotted down” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Wrote down. B．Left behind. C．Looked for. D．Settled down. 答案 解析 纯话题阅读 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“an early morning tennis game”和“I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those.”可推知，Lily后悔送她的孩子们去看网球比赛是因为她没给孩子们穿厚一点的衣服。故选C。 11．Last week, Lily regretted sending her boys to watch a tennis game mainly because ________． A．she thought the game was boring B．she wanted to spend time with her boys C．she didn't dress her boys in thick clothes D．her boys got lost 答案 解析 纯话题阅读 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber”可知，eraser在英国被叫做rubber。故选D。 12．According to the passage, in British English ________． A．the word “pissed” means “angry” B．the word “jacket” is often used C．the word “engaged” means “tired” D．the word “rubber” means “eraser” 答案 解析 纯话题阅读 (2024·广东省深圳市深圳外国语学校高一上第二次阶 段练习)The classic 1951 science fiction film The Day the Earth Stood Still includes an impressive character—a frightening robot (Gort) whose terrible actions are under control only when he is ordered, “Klaatu Barada Nikto”. What does this mean? I don't know. But when I overhear my students speaking to each other, I am often similarly confused. 纯话题阅读 I teach at a university. One of the “problems” is that as the years pass, I get older, but my students remain the same age—18 to 22.Early on, when I was in my 20s and 30s, this wasn't an issue, as we were close enough in age to speak the same language. But lately I have become well aware that a language ship seems to have sailed, and I am not on board. Let me make it clear by using an example: Recently, when I walked into my class, my students were chatting happily with each other. One of their comments caught my ear: “Venmo it to me.” I had no idea what “Venmo” meant, so I asked. The good­natured students were happy to explain it to me, and in return I nodded with an awkward expression, as if I should have known better. 纯话题阅读 I went home that evening, absorbed in that moment of noncomprehension (不理解). I am not against change, but I am uncomfortable with change when its pace has me hanging on by my fingernails. If I were to awaken from a five­year nap, I'd have no idea what people were talking about. I just wouldn't understand the language. Their willingness to explain their words to me is a great comfort, and I congratulate myself on at least having interest in what they're talking about, as well as on my ability—for the most part—to understand their explanations. 纯话题阅读 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者随着年龄的增长不能适应英语语言进化的经历和担忧。 篇章导读 But what will happen if my interest wanes and that the language ship finally disappears over the horizon?

A．Hearing loss. B．Cultural shock. C．A language barrier. D．A frightening robot. 答案 解析 纯话题阅读 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“One of the ‘problems’ ...

B．It is really small. C．It is very beneficial. D．It is much too rapid. 答案 解析 纯话题阅读 解析：词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段中的“I congratulate myself ... their explanations (我庆幸自己至少对他们谈论的内容感兴趣，也庆幸自己有能力——在很大程度上——理解他们的解释)”和第六段中的“But”可推知，画线词所在句表示“如果我的兴趣减弱，语言之船最终消失在地平线上，会发生什么？”wanes意为“减退，减少”，与lessens意思相近。故选A。 16．What does the underlined word “wanes” mean in the last paragraph?
