The teacher spoke so quickly that I did not understand her most of the time. I was afraid to answer questions because of my poor pronunciation. I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything. Then one day, I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So I began to watch other English movies, too. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation improved as well by listening to the conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something interesting is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right”. I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked them up in a dictionary. Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar so that I can have a better understanding of English movies. 1.

Research shows that students who take a complete break may lose some reading skills compared to those who continue studying. Therefore, it’s important to keep learning during school breaks. Here are further reasons and practical ways to make it happen. Keep the brain active. Just like a muscle (肌肉) , the brain needs daily exercise. Students can do some light study to help keep their brains active and healthy during school breaks. This way, they won’t forget what they have learned and can catch up more quickly when school starts. Time to review and plan ahead. Students should take the opportunity during breaks to organize and review their lessons. This will help them better understand the lessons they have learned. At the same time, they will know what to expect and can plan ahead on how to best prepare for the next term. Learning is fun! Students can make their learning fun to keep their interest alive. They can learn in many places outside their classrooms. For example, they can practise vocabulary at a bus stop, count their change in a store, or watch plants and insects in a park. This way, they will realize that the world is full of wonderful things to learn. 1. What should students keep doing during school breaks? ________________________________________________ 2.

What will students realize by learning outside their classrooms? ________________________________________________ 03 These days a discussion about English learning becomes a hot topic. Xu Jin, a national political adviser, said that English should not be a core (主要的) subject like Chinese and math. More course hours should be given to improve students’ skills in physical education, music, and art. He thought English took up about 10 percent of class hours, but less than 10 percent of university students use the language at work. It was a waste of educational resources and students felt a great burden on their shoulders. Moreover, smart devices can offer translation services and in the age of AI, translators will be among the top 10 professions to be eliminated (淘汰), he added. Some people agreed with his opinion and said they had wasted too much time studying English at school because they didn’t use it in their daily lives. They thought it should be better to spend more time learning Chinese language and culture. However, Zhang Lianzhong, a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said it was wise to make English a compulsory course (必修课) from the third grade in 2001. Students can open their mind and improve their language ability through learning English. English teachers should also focus more on improving students’ language skills, not exam-taking ability. 1. How many class hours did English take up according to Xu Jin? ________________________________________________ 2. What will be among the top 10 professions to be eliminated? ________________________________________________ 3. Why did some people think they had wasted too much time studying English at school? ________________________________________________ 4.

He always uses it to greet his friends. Is this Chinglish sentence right? Yes, and it is a popular way of greeting. In the past, people often laughed at Chinglish because of the wrong grammar. However, with the rising international influence (影响) of Chinese culture (文化), Chinglish becomes a special cultural language. For example, you can find “guanxi”, “lose face” and “paper tiger” in the Oxford dictionary. You can also hear “tuhao” or “dama” here and there. These phrases are not only funny, but also show Chinese culture in a new way. By using Chinglish, we open a window for the international conversations. From this window, many people from different countries see a different China. They want to know more about Chinese culture because of these funny Chinglish. As many people come to live, travel and study in China, they begin to make up new phrases with both Chinese and English. For example, “City bu city?” gets popular on the Chinese Internet these days. Drinking a cup of milk tea with friends is “city”. Driving on Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is super “city”. Chinglish changes some old ideas on language learning. It makes students know that they need to not only learn grammar and pronunciation, but also get the ability to use language smartly. 1.

How many Chinglish examples are there in Paragraph 2? ________________________________________________ 3.

Would you like to pay some money to study there? Well, there are many rooms like this in Shenzhen. Named shared study rooms, they have recently become popular among young people. Instead of studying at home or in libraries for free, many people are choosing to go to shared study rooms to improve learning efficiency (效率). The cost depends on the cities and environment. It usually costs two to ten yuan per hour. There are also rest areas that allow people to eat, rest, or have a chat. A senior high school student called Xinyi says she can put her phone down and focus on studying in the shared study rooms. “Using the room costs me about 10 yuan an hour. It isn’t cheap, but I think it’s worth it.” Feng Jia, a man who is preparing for an examination, always spends time studying in the shared study rooms. “I work in a company. In public libraries, it is hard to get a seat. At home, there are a lot of distractions (干扰) such as mobile phones, snacks, and pets. The paid study space is a good choice for me.” 1.

It seems that they mean the same thing. They almost do. However, what are the differences between “Pardon” “I’m sorry” “Excuse me” and “What?”? Pardon Americans don’t really use “pardon”. If you do, they will probably joke that you’re trying to sound pretentious (自我炫耀的) or joke that you’re British. I’m sorry We often use “I’m sorry” for past events. That’s to say, it is generally used to apologize for something you have already done. For example, if you step on someone’s foot on a crowded bus, you would say “I’m sorry” or “sorry”. Excuse me This is generally an expression to ask permission (允许) for something. For example, you’re walking through a crowded space and someone is in your way. You would say “excuse me” to ask him to move out of your way. What? Americans usually use it to ask someone to repeat himself or herself. If you want to be more polite, you could say “I’m sorry, what was that?” or “Excuse me, what did you say?” or any other such thing. Most Americans will just say “What?” though. In our daily lives, we can also use these terms by mixing them up. You could, for example, ask someone to move by saying “Sorry, would you mind moving?” It’s an extra-polite way to make your request. 1. Who says “pardon” more often, Americans or British? ________________________________________________ 2. What expression do we often use for past events? ________________________________________________ 3. What is the expression “Excuse me” used for? ________________________________________________ 4. When do Americans usually say “What?”? ________________________________________________ 5. How many apologetic terms does the passage talk about? ________________________________________________ 培优篇 08 Language is always changing and developing. This isn’t a bad thing. If English hadn’t changed for a long time, we wouldn’t have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things. Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs, education levels and so on. How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people’s. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we make them out of proper names. Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it’s alive and well. 1. What does the writer think of the change and development of language? ________________________________________________ 2. Why do people use different sets of words and expressions according to the passage? ________________________________________________ 3. How many reasons for language change are mentioned in this passage? ________________________________________________ 4. How do young people help develop language? ________________________________________________ 5. What are considered dead languages according to the passage? ________________________________________________ 09 请仔细阅读下面的文章，回答下列问题。 Emily was always a hard-working girl.

That’s a perfect saying for Lai Shixiong, an excellent English learner from China, to describe his experience of learning English well. Like many speakers who are not from English-speaking countries, Lai failed when he first started learning English. When he was in high school, he once got a very low mark of 7 in an English test. The full mark was 100. He almost gave up English but after he entered a military school (军校), he met a classmate who was good at English. Lai was surprised by his classmate’s great spoken English, so he decided to start learning English from the beginning. As he wrote down his experience in the diary, I saw myself as a baby who had just started to learn a language. To correct his pronunciation, Lai listened to records and practiced phonetic symbols (音标) hundreds of times every day. Then he was able to pronounce words, Lai said he began to practice conversations. 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 conversation,” he said. Lai also thought of ways to improve his skills. He used English to describe everything he saw. He even translated (翻译) speeches when he went to class meetings at the military school. He also read and listened to English news to learn new expressions. “There is no other way to learn a language well. You have to practice,” Lai said. 1.

It seems that they mean the same thing. They almost do. However, what are the differences between “Pardon” “I’m sorry” “Excuse me” and “What?”? Pardon Americans don’t really use “pardon”. If you do, they will probably joke that you’re trying to sound pretentious (自我炫耀的) or joke that you’re British. I’m sorry We often use “I’m sorry” for past events. That’s to say, it is generally used to apologize for something you have already done. For example, if you step on someone’s foot on a crowded bus, you would say “I’m sorry” or “sorry”. Excuse me This is generally an expression to ask permission (允许) for something. For example, you’re walking through a crowded space and someone is in your way. You would say “excuse me” to ask him to move out of your way. What? Americans usually use it to ask someone to repeat himself or herself. If you want to be more polite, you could say “I’m sorry, what was that?” or “Excuse me, what did you say?” or any other such thing. Most Americans will just say “What?” though. In our daily lives, we can also use these terms by mixing them up. You could, for example, ask someone to move by saying “Sorry, would you mind moving?” It’s an extra-polite way to make your request. 1.

This isn’t a bad thing. If English hadn’t changed for a long time, we wouldn’t have words to describe telephones, washing machines, computers or some other new things. Language changes for several reasons. First, it changes because the needs of its speaker change. New technologies, new products, and new experiences need new words to express them clearly. Another reason for change is that different people have different language experiences. People use different sets of words and expressions, because they have different ages, jobs, education levels and so on. How does language develop then? On the one hand, many of the languages changes begin with young people. When young people communicate with others of their own age, their language grows in grammar, words and expressions that are different from the older people’s. Some have a short lifetime but others can influence the language for long. On the other hand, we get new words in many different ways. We borrow them from other languages, we create them by making words shorter or combining words and we make them out of proper names. Languages that don’t change over time are considered dead languages. The fact that English changes so much shows that it’s alive and well. 1. What does the writer think of the change and development of language? ________________________________________________ 2. Why do people use different sets of words and expressions according to the passage? ________________________________________________ 3.

How do young people help develop language? ________________________________________________ 5.

That’s a perfect saying for Lai Shixiong, an excellent English learner from China, to describe his experience of learning English well. Like many speakers who are not from English-speaking countries, Lai failed when he first started learning English. When he was in high school, he once got a very low mark of 7 in an English test. The full mark was 100. He almost gave up English but after he entered a military school (军校), he met a classmate who was good at English.
