But learning can be joyful — its fun comes from finding new things and feeling proud of small wins. Take Xiao Yu, an eighth-grader, as an example. He used to dislike history. He thought memorizing (记忆) dates was boring. Then his teacher asked the class to act out short history stories. Xiao Yu played a great emperor (皇帝) from the past. To do well, he read more about the emperor’s life and even made a simple costume. On performance day, his classmates loved his act. Now, Xiao Yu looks for history books in his free time — he finds joy in knowing more about the past. Learning also lets us enjoy small surprises. When you finally understand a hard math problem, or when you use a new English word to talk to your friend, that happy feeling is the joy of learning. It’s not about getting perfect grades; it’s about growing little by little. So next time you sit down to study, try to find the fun in it. Learning is a journey, and every step can bring joy. 1．What do some students think of when they hear “learning” at first? A．Fun history stories. B．Hard math problems. C．Difficult exams and endless homework. D．New English words. 2．Why did Xiao Yu dislike history before? A．He thought memorizing dates was boring. B．His history teacher was too strict. C．He couldn’t find history books. D．He didn’t like acting in stories. 3．How did Xiao Yu’s idea about history change? A．He started to hate it more after the performance. B．He began to enjoy it by acting out a history story. C．He stopped learning history in his free time. D．He only liked history exams. 4．What is the joy of learning according to the passage? A．Getting perfect grades every time. B．Finding new things and feeling proud of small wins. C．Finishing homework quickly. D．Memorizing more facts than classmates. 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Learning is only for getting good scores. B．We can find joy in every step of learning. C．History is the most interesting subject. D．Learning is always easy and fun. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕学习的乐趣展开，告诉我们学习的快乐不在于优异分数，而在于探索新知与每一步小小的收获。 1．第一段提到“When students talk about learning, some may think of difficult exams or endless homework.”，说明部分学生一提到学习，首先想到的就是难题考试与写不完的作业。 2．第二段提到“He used to dislike history. He thought memorizing dates was boring.”，交代Xiao Yu以前不喜欢历史，是因为他觉得记忆日期很枯燥。 3．第二段提到“Then his teacher asked the class to act out short history stories…Now, Xiao Yu looks for history books in his free time — he finds joy in knowing more about the past.”，说明通过表演历史小故事这件事，他开始对历史产生喜爱。 4．第一段提到“But learning can be joyful — its fun comes from finding new things and feeling proud of small wins.”，点明学习的乐趣来源于发现新事物，并且为小小的收获感到自豪。 5．文末提到“Learning is a journey, and every step can bring joy.”，文章主旨告诉我们，在学习的每一步当中，都可以找到乐趣。 If you want to become a fluent (流利的) 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 meanings of the unfamiliar (不熟悉的) 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 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, 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 English learners. 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 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. 1．According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills? A．Reading and listening B．Reading and writing C．Listening and speaking D．Writing and speaking 2．The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “________”. A．discover B．meet by chance C．look for D．find out 3．Which is not mentioned (提到) to practise listening? A．English cartoons B．English movies C．English music D．VOA 4．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 5．The passage is mainly about how to________. A．be better at English speaking and writing B．deal with new words in reading C．read more English books D．choose reading materials 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．C 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍提升英语听说读写四项技能的学习建议，指出想要提高说和写，应当先掌握读和听，并分别讲解主动阅读、有效听力训练的方法。 1．第一段原文：“if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills, you should first master the skills of reading and listening”，由此可知四项技能中应当先提升阅读和听力。 2．第二段“There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammar or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across”，这里指阅读时不必试图理解所有“偶然遇到”的生词。“come across”意为“偶然遇到”与“meet by chance”含义相近。 3．第四段原文：“you can listen to cartoons or some movies…listen to VOA or BBC programs”，文中提到英语卡通、英语影片、VOA，没有提到英语音乐。 4．第三段原文：“become skillful at your reading, 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”，说明擅长阅读有助于提升听力。 5．全文开篇点明目标：想要流利说英语，重点是提升说、写能力，方法从阅读、听力入手；结尾总结遵循建议，口语和写作会自动提升，因此文章主旨是如何提高英语口语与写作。 An increasing number of foreign students are learning Chinese in China. What do they think about their language learning in China? Here is an interview with some of them. Leonardo I am from Italy. Some schools in my hometown have Chinese lessons. But we learn a lot of grammar and we don’t have many chances to speak Chinese. It’s not enough. Now in China, I spend as much time as I can speaking Chinese. Emily I am from America: In my hometown, we only have two Chinese lessons each week. In China, we have Chinese lessons every day, so that we can practise speaking Chinese often. During my free time, I visit several local museums to learn more about Chinese history and culture. This experience helps me understand China much better. Varma I am from South Korea. I am studying Chinese. You know, teachers and students in my hometown speak Chinese with strong Korean accents. The situation here is quite different. Now I have some Chinese friends. We chat with each other in Chinese. I am doing my best to improve my Chinese pronunciation. Reiko Here in China, teachers teach us in Chinese. However, in Japan, most classes are taught in Japanese, even Chinese classes. The teachers here are friendly and helpful. I always talk with them in Chinese after class.

She often got low scores in exams and felt sad about it. “I can’t do math,” she always told herself. One day, her math teacher Mrs. Chen noticed Sara’s problem. Instead of giving her more exercises, Mrs. Chen asked Sara a question, “How do you learn new words in English class?” Sara thought for a moment and said, “I write them down in a notebook and review them every day.” Mrs. Chen smiled, “Why not try the same way with math?” Sara decided to follow the advice. She started a “math notebook”. In class, she wrote down every new formula(公式) and example. After school, she went over them carefully. Whenever she had time, she reviewed her notes. Little by little, math became easier. She began to understand the rules and could solve problems faster. At the end of last term, Sara got an A in her math exam. She was so happy that she thanked Mrs. Chen. “You didn’t just teach me math,” Sara said. “You taught me how to learn.” Now Sara uses this method with other subjects, too.

Last year, I didn’t like English. I was afraid to answer the questions because of my poor pronunciation. Besides, I was a very slow reader. I had to look up the new words in the dictionary when I read my English book. New words were bad dreams for me. I couldn’t memorize their meanings or spell them correctly. Some students even laughed at me. I felt quite sad about it. Luckily, my classmates helped me out and they gave me advice on English learning. Then I did a survey and it helped me choose the best way to learn English. I hope it can help you. ▲ Experts say whether or not you can learn English well depends on your learning habits. You should connect what you need to learn with something interesting. In this way, your brain is more active and you can pay more attention to what you need to learn. Everything you learn today will become a part of you and make you better in the future. 1．How did Bob feel in the English classes last year? A．Unhappy. B．Relaxed. C．Surprised.

I felt quite sad about it.”可知，鲍勃去年在英语课上感到不开心。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据调查数据，总共有40名学生，通过制作单词卡片学习英语的有15人，即15÷40×100%=37.5%。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据调查数据，听磁带的有35人，看英语电影的有20人，制作单词卡片的有15人，小组合作的有30人。因此最受欢迎的学习方式是听磁带。故选A。 4．推理判断题。空白后段落以“Experts say”开头，主要讲述了专家关于英语学习的建议，因此空白处应是引出“专家建议”的过渡句，选项B“专家们会给我们什么建议？”符合语境。故选B。 Over the past 25 years, I’ve studied twenty languages. You might think I’m a gifted language learner, but I’m not. I make plenty of mistakes when learning languages. That’s not really a bad thing. I learn a lot from my mistakes. There is a reason behind each one. Understanding these reasons keeps learning exciting. My native language is French. English was the first foreign language I learned. When I was trying to pick up the language, I often mixed up the vowel sounds(元音). This was especially true for vowel sounds that you make in the center and back of your mouth, like those in “but,” “boat” and “bought.” For example, I said “collar” when I meant “color.” I pronounced the “o” in “posture” like the “o” in “post.” This was because French doesn’t have as many vowel sounds as English. After years of practice. I now get it right most of the time. When I was learning Spanish, I had trouble with the tens. Instead of saying the “-enta” ending(as in cuarenta for “forty”), I used “-anta” as the ending. My brain was applying a rule it had learned years before, when I was learning Italian. This is just another classic case of language interference(干扰). Making mistakes is a natural part of learning. Mistakes also add fun to our language-learning adventure. Instead of being afraid of them, try to accept mistakes and learn from them. 1．What can we learn about French from the article? A．It has fewer vowel sounds than English. B．It has as many vowel sounds as English. C．Its native speakers have no trouble making vowel sounds. D．Most of its vowel sounds are made in the center and back of the mouth. 2．In what order did the writer pick up the three languages below? A．English, Spanish, Italian. B．English, Italian, Spanish. C．Spanish, English, Italian. D．Italian, English, Spanish. 3．What should we do when we learn a language according to the writer? A．Turn a blind eye to our mistakes. B．Avoid making mistakes at all costs. C．Always ask our teachers to explain our mistakes. D．Try to understand the reasons behind our mistakes. 4．What did the writer mainly want to tell people? A．That he is not a gifted language learner. B．How to learn twenty languages in 25 years. C．How to avoid mixing up different languages. D．That mistakes play an important role in language learning. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者分享了自己25年间学习20种语言的经历，说明自己并非天赋型学习者，学习过程中常犯错误，但这些错误并非坏事。 1．细节理解题。根据“This was because French doesn’t have as many vowel sounds as English”可知，法语的元音数量比英语少。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“English was the first foreign language I learned”可知，英语是作者学习的第一门外语；再根据“When I was learning Spanish... My brain was applying a rule it had learned years before, when I was learning Italian”可知，作者学习西班牙语前先学了意大利语。因此学习顺序是英语、意大利语、西班牙语。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“I learn a lot from my mistakes. There is a reason behind each one. Understanding these reasons keeps learning exciting”以及“try to accept mistakes and learn from them”可知，作者认为学习语言时应尝试理解错误背后的原因。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。文章围绕作者学习语言时的错误经历展开，强调错误是语言学习的自然部分，能让人从中学习、为学习增添乐趣，核心是说明错误在语言学习中的重要作用。故选D。 Lifelong learning is a way to become a better person, little by little and day by day. Lifelong learners always look for chances to improve themselves. Here are some common habits found in them. No matter what problem you are facing at the moment, there’s always a book that can help.

They take part in them actively.”可知，终身学习者共同的特点是充分利用这些课程和项目，并积极参与其中。因此，“them”指代前文提到的“courses and programs”。故选B。 3．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Here are some common habits found in them.”及后续段落对阅读、课程参与和目标设定的描述可知，文章主要介绍终身学习者的习惯。故选C。 Students who learn language often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study. To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. It’s organized. When you put away a book or memory—you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again. How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meanings of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it. 1．In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because ________. A．they have memory problems B．they are too worried C．they don’t use a proper way D．they don’t like to study 2．Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage? A．Short-term memory is seldom used. B．What we see goes into long-term memory first. C．We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory. D．We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory. 3．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory ________. A．keeps many books like a large library B．works like a well-organized library C．gives you any book D．leaves memory anywhere 4．This passage mainly tells us about ________. A．Students’ language problems in study B．how to make the meanings of words stronger C．short-term and long-term memory D．ways to remember words better 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章针对语言学习者常遇到的记不住单词的问题展开，指出问题并非出在记忆力上，而是学习方法不当；介绍了记忆的两种类型及其特点，还详细说明了通过用单词造新句、编小故事、在脑海中构建画面等方法，将单词转化为长期记忆，从而更好地记住单词。 1．细节理解题。根据“Students who learn language often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study.”可知，作者认为学生记不住单词是因为学习方法不当，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“When you see hear or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds.”可知，进入短期记忆的内容只能持续几秒钟，很快会被忘记，C选项表述正确，故选C。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. It’s organized. When you put away a book or memory—you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.”可知，长期记忆像一个有组织的大图书馆，需要把“书籍（记忆）”放在特定位置以便再次找到，强调其“有条理”的特点，故选B。 4．主旨大意题。根据文章内容，开篇指出学生记不住单词的问题在于学习方法，随后介绍记忆类型，最终重点说明记住单词的方法，核心是“如何更好地记住单词”，故选D。 ◇考点 02 重难语篇提升练 Researchers found how parents’ communication styles help their young children to develop language skills. Daniel Yurovsky, professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University and his team developed a method to experimentally evaluate (评估) how parents use what they know about their children’s language when they talk to them. They found that parents have exact models of their children’s language knowledge, and use these models to tune (调整) the language they use when speaking to them. “We have known for years that parents talk to children more differently than to other adults in a lot of ways. For example, simplifying their speech, repeating words and stretching out vowel sounds.” said Yurovsky. “That helps young kids get a toehold into language, but that parents change the way they talk as children are learning language, gives children language input that is ‘just right’ for learning the next thing.” Yurovsky and his team continued to study to understand exactly how parents tune their interactions to match their child’s speech development. The team developed a game where parents helped their children to pick a specific animal from a set of three. Half of the animals in the matching game were animals that children typically learn before age 2, like cat and cow. And the other half were animals that are typically learned later such as peacock and leopard. The researchers asked 41 child-adult pairs to play the game. They measured the differences in how parents talked about animals they thought their children knew and those they thought their children did not know. They found parents had an unbelievably exact knowledge of their child’s language because they watched them grow and learn. These results showed that parents leveraged (利用) their knowledge of their children’s language development to fine-tune the information they provided. “We found that parents not only used what they already knew about their children’s language knowledge before the study, but also that if they found out they were wrong—their child didn’t actually know ‘leopard’, for example, they changed the way they talked about that animal the next time around.” said Yurovsky. “Right now we train language models by giving them all of the language data we can get our hands on all at once. But we might do better if we could give them the right data at the right time, keeping it at just the right level that they are ready for.” Yurovsky added. 1．Why do parents talk to children differently than to other adults? A．To call for their kids’ attention. B．To make their talks understood. C．To reduce kids’ fear to face difficulties. D．To help develop their kids’ languages. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The ways parents tune to match their child’s speech. B．The game that helps children to pick a specific animal. C．The experiment to find out how parents love their children. D．The methods children and parents use to talk with each other. 3．According to the writer, language trainers or teachers should ________. A．explain the word “leopard” in another way B．leverage children’s knowledge to fit theirs C．offer language information when it’s proper D．have lots of children’s language knowledge 4．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A．How Young Children Start to Learn Skills from Their Parents. B．How Parents’ Ways of Talking Benefit Kids’ Language Skills. C．Why Communication Styles Help Develop Children’s Learning. D．Why Educated Parents Have Knowledge of Their Kids’ Language. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了父母如何通过调整自己的交流方式来帮助孩子发展语言技能。 1．细节理解题。根据“Researchers found how parents’ communication styles help their young children to develop language skills.”和“That helps young kids get a toehold into language”可知，父母与孩子交流方式不同的目的是帮助孩子发展语言能力。故选D。 2．主旨大意题。根据“Yurovsky and his team continued to study to understand exactly how parents tune their interactions to match their child’s speech development.”可知，本段主要讲述父母如何调整交流方式以匹配孩子的语言发展。故选A。 3．推理判断题。根据“But we might do better if we could give them the right data at the right time, keeping it at just the right level that they are ready for.”可知，语言培训者或教师应在适当的时候提供语言信息。故选C。 4．最佳标题题。全文围绕父母如何通过调整交流方式帮助孩子发展语言技能展开，因此最佳标题应体现这一主题。选项B“How Parent’s Ways of Talking Benefit Kids’ Language Skills”最符合文章主旨。故选B。 ①How many languages do you know? Have you ever been unable to learn about something because you speak only English? Do not feel limited (受限的) because English is a great foundation (基础) for learning Swedish. Learning a bit of Swedish will help you discover more about Sweden’s rich culture, fascinating history and beautiful land. ②Many words sound the same in Swedish and English. Even without a lesson, you already know several Swedish words. For example, “man” and “person” are the same in both languages. Not only are there many similar words, but some words are so close that you can know them at once. For example, “fish” in Swedish is only a one-letter change to “fisk”. “Room” is an easy change to “rum”. ③The similarities between English and Swedish go deeper than just words that look alike. English grammar and Swedish grammar are also very similar, which is helpful when you are using verbs. Swedish also uses the Roman alphabet (字母表), so you already know the Swedish ABCs. The only difference is three more letters—a, ą, ṍ—found at the end of the Swedish alphabet. ④Swedes are not very dramatic, so you will not hear a Swede saying something like “How sad you missed the bus!” or “That test was a killer.” Also, keep your hands to yourself because body language is uncommon. ⑤Many words in Swedish can be pronounced differently for several meanings. Usually, words are so far apart in meaning that beginners are understood even if they mispronounce words, but you will be learning a language that is a stepping-stone toward understanding a beautiful culture and land. 1．What is the English word “room” written as in Swedish? A．fisk B．rum C．man D．person 2．How many letters are there in the Swedish alphabet? A．Twenty B．Twenty-three C．Twenty-six D．Twenty-nine 3．Which of the following can you hardly see or hear in Sweden? a. People express thanks to those who have helped them. b. Teachers hold students’ hands when talking to them. c. Passengers joke how sad they missed the bus. d. Students make fun of the bad results of their math test. A．abc B．bcd C．acd D．abd 4．What can we know from the passage? A．Swedish is easy to learn compared with English.

But learning can be joyful — its fun comes from finding new things and feeling proud of small wins. Take Xiao Yu, an eighth-grader, as an example. He used to dislike history. He thought memorizing (记忆) dates was boring. Then his teacher asked the class to act out short history stories. Xiao Yu played a great emperor (皇帝) from the past. To do well, he read more about the emperor’s life and even made a simple costume. On performance day, his classmates loved his act. Now, Xiao Yu looks for history books in his free time — he finds joy in knowing more about the past. Learning also lets us enjoy small surprises. When you finally understand a hard math problem, or when you use a new English word to talk to your friend, that happy feeling is the joy of learning. It’s not about getting perfect grades; it’s about growing little by little. So next time you sit down to study, try to find the fun in it. Learning is a journey, and every step can bring joy. 1．What do some students think of when they hear “learning” at first? A．Fun history stories. B．Hard math problems. C．Difficult exams and endless homework. D．New English words. 2．Why did Xiao Yu dislike history before? A．He thought memorizing dates was boring. B．His history teacher was too strict. C．He couldn’t find history books. D．He didn’t like acting in stories. 3．How did Xiao Yu’s idea about history change? A．He started to hate it more after the performance. B．He began to enjoy it by acting out a history story. C．He stopped learning history in his free time. D．He only liked history exams. 4．What is the joy of learning according to the passage? A．Getting perfect grades every time. B．Finding new things and feeling proud of small wins. C．Finishing homework quickly. D．Memorizing more facts than classmates. 5．What can we learn from the passage? A．Learning is only for getting good scores. B．We can find joy in every step of learning. C．History is the most interesting subject. D．Learning is always easy and fun. If you want to become a fluent (流利的) 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 meanings of the unfamiliar (不熟悉的) 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 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, 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 English learners. 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 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. 1．According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills? A．Reading and listening B．Reading and writing C．Listening and speaking D．Writing and speaking 2．The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “________”. A．discover B．meet by chance C．look for D．find out 3．Which is not mentioned (提到) to practise listening? A．English cartoons B．English movies C．English music D．VOA 4．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 5．The passage is mainly about how to________. A．be better at English speaking and writing B．deal with new words in reading C．read more English books D．choose reading materials An increasing number of foreign students are learning Chinese in China.

She often got low scores in exams and felt sad about it. “I can’t do math,” she always told herself. One day, her math teacher Mrs. Chen noticed Sara’s problem. Instead of giving her more exercises, Mrs. Chen asked Sara a question, “How do you learn new words in English class?” Sara thought for a moment and said, “I write them down in a notebook and review them every day.” Mrs. Chen smiled, “Why not try the same way with math?” Sara decided to follow the advice. She started a “math notebook”. In class, she wrote down every new formula(公式) and example. After school, she went over them carefully. Whenever she had time, she reviewed her notes. Little by little, math became easier. She began to understand the rules and could solve problems faster. At the end of last term, Sara got an A in her math exam. She was so happy that she thanked Mrs. Chen. “You didn’t just teach me math,” Sara said. “You taught me how to learn.” Now Sara uses this method with other subjects, too.

My name is Bob. Last year, I didn’t like English. I was afraid to answer the questions because of my poor pronunciation. Besides, I was a very slow reader. I had to look up the new words in the dictionary when I read my English book. New words were bad dreams for me. I couldn’t memorize their meanings or spell them correctly. Some students even laughed at me. I felt quite sad about it. Luckily, my classmates helped me out and they gave me advice on English learning. Then I did a survey and it helped me choose the best way to learn English. I hope it can help you. ▲ Experts say whether or not you can learn English well depends on your learning habits. You should connect what you need to learn with something interesting. In this way, your brain is more active and you can pay more attention to what you need to learn. Everything you learn today will become a part of you and make you better in the future. 1．How did Bob feel in the English classes last year? A．Unhappy. B．Relaxed. C．Surprised. D．Excited. 2．What percent of the students learn English by making word cards? A．37.5% B．50% C．75% D．87.5% 3．Which is the most popular way to learn English? A．By listening to tapes. B．By watching English movies. C．By making word cards. D．By working with a group. 4．Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ”? A．How can we learn English faster? B．What advice do experts give us? C．Why should we learn English well? D．What problems may stop you from learning English well? Over the past 25 years, I’ve studied twenty languages. You might think I’m a gifted language learner, but I’m not. I make plenty of mistakes when learning languages. That’s not really a bad thing. I learn a lot from my mistakes. There is a reason behind each one. Understanding these reasons keeps learning exciting. My native language is French. English was the first foreign language I learned. When I was trying to pick up the language, I often mixed up the vowel sounds(元音). This was especially true for vowel sounds that you make in the center and back of your mouth, like those in “but,” “boat” and “bought.” For example, I said “collar” when I meant “color.” I pronounced the “o” in “posture” like the “o” in “post.” This was because French doesn’t have as many vowel sounds as English. After years of practice. I now get it right most of the time. When I was learning Spanish, I had trouble with the tens. Instead of saying the “-enta” ending(as in cuarenta for “forty”), I used “-anta” as the ending. My brain was applying a rule it had learned years before, when I was learning Italian. This is just another classic case of language interference(干扰). Making mistakes is a natural part of learning. Mistakes also add fun to our language-learning adventure. Instead of being afraid of them, try to accept mistakes and learn from them. 1．What can we learn about French from the article? A．It has fewer vowel sounds than English. B．It has as many vowel sounds as English. C．Its native speakers have no trouble making vowel sounds. D．Most of its vowel sounds are made in the center and back of the mouth. 2．In what order did the writer pick up the three languages below? A．English, Spanish, Italian. B．English, Italian, Spanish. C．Spanish, English, Italian. D．Italian, English, Spanish. 3．What should we do when we learn a language according to the writer? A．Turn a blind eye to our mistakes. B．Avoid making mistakes at all costs. C．Always ask our teachers to explain our mistakes. D．Try to understand the reasons behind our mistakes. 4．What did the writer mainly want to tell people? A．That he is not a gifted language learner. B．How to learn twenty languages in 25 years. C．How to avoid mixing up different languages. D．That mistakes play an important role in language learning. Lifelong learning is a way to become a better person, little by little and day by day. Lifelong learners always look for chances to improve themselves. Here are some common habits found in them. No matter what problem you are facing at the moment, there’s always a book that can help. It will talk about the problem and offer different kinds of solutions. Reading is a great way to open up new ideas, make your brain stronger and even change your life. Through reading, you can learn from successful people. Lifelong learners love reading books and do it regularly (定期地). You can take many courses, no matter they are online or in real life, and most of them are free. You can learn something new from some online programs. What lifelong learners have in common is making full use of these courses and programs. They take part in them actively. If you are a lifelong learner, you have a strong wish to grow and get better. Your chances of success are much higher than when others make you learn. To keep growing and make improvement, you need to set clear goals for yourself. Smart goal setting is one of the tools to make sure of your continuous (持续不断的) improvement. 1．Why do lifelong learners read books regularly? A．Because they want to open themselves up to new ideas. B．Because they want to get more free time. C．Because they want to know more successful people. D．Because they want to talk about their problems. 2．What does the underlined “them” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．Some lifelong learners. B．Some courses and programs. C．Some courses in real life. D．Some online programs. 3．What is the passage mainly about? A．Some good online courses. B．The ways of reading books. C．Some common habits of lifelong learners. D．The importance of setting clear goals. Students who learn language often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can’t remember words. In fact the problem usually isn’t with their memory. The problem is with how they study. To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. It’s organized. When you put away a book or memory—you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again. How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meanings of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it. 1．In the writer’s opinion, students can’t remember words because ________. A．they have memory problems B．they are too worried C．they don’t use a proper way D．they don’t like to study 2．Which is TRUE about memory according to the passage? A．Short-term memory is seldom used. B．What we see goes into long-term memory first. C．We will forget a word soon if it goes into short-term memory. D．We will never forget a word if it goes into long-term memory. 3．The underlined part in Paragraph 2 means long-term memory ________. A．keeps many books like a large library B．works like a well-organized library C．gives you any book D．leaves memory anywhere 4．This passage mainly tells us about ________. A．Students’ language problems in study B．how to make the meanings of words stronger C．short-term and long-term memory D．ways to remember words better ◇考点 02 重难语篇提升练 Researchers found how parents’ communication styles help their young children to develop language skills. Daniel Yurovsky, professor of psychology at Carnegie Mellon University and his team developed a method to experimentally evaluate (评估) how parents use what they know about their children’s language when they talk to them. They found that parents have exact models of their children’s language knowledge, and use these models to tune (调整) the language they use when speaking to them. “We have known for years that parents talk to children more differently than to other adults in a lot of ways. For example, simplifying their speech, repeating words and stretching out vowel sounds.” said Yurovsky. “That helps young kids get a toehold into language, but that parents change the way they talk as children are learning language, gives children language input that is ‘just right’ for learning the next thing.” Yurovsky and his team continued to study to understand exactly how parents tune their interactions to match their child’s speech development. The team developed a game where parents helped their children to pick a specific animal from a set of three. Half of the animals in the matching game were animals that children typically learn before age 2, like cat and cow. And the other half were animals that are typically learned later such as peacock and leopard. The researchers asked 41 child-adult pairs to play the game. They measured the differences in how parents talked about animals they thought their children knew and those they thought their children did not know. They found parents had an unbelievably exact knowledge of their child’s language because they watched them grow and learn. These results showed that parents leveraged (利用) their knowledge of their children’s language development to fine-tune the information they provided. “We found that parents not only used what they already knew about their children’s language knowledge before the study, but also that if they found out they were wrong—their child didn’t actually know ‘leopard’, for example, they changed the way they talked about that animal the next time around.” said Yurovsky. “Right now we train language models by giving them all of the language data we can get our hands on all at once. But we might do better if we could give them the right data at the right time, keeping it at just the right level that they are ready for.” Yurovsky added. 1．Why do parents talk to children differently than to other adults? A．To call for their kids’ attention. B．To make their talks understood. C．To reduce kids’ fear to face difficulties. D．To help develop their kids’ languages. 2．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The ways parents tune to match their child’s speech. B．The game that helps children to pick a specific animal. C．The experiment to find out how parents love their children. D．The methods children and parents use to talk with each other. 3．According to the writer, language trainers or teachers should ________. A．explain the word “leopard” in another way B．leverage children’s knowledge to fit theirs C．offer language information when it’s proper D．have lots of children’s language knowledge 4．Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A．How Young Children Start to Learn Skills from Their Parents. B．How Parents’ Ways of Talking Benefit Kids’ Language Skills. C．Why Communication Styles Help Develop Children’s Learning. D．Why Educated Parents Have Knowledge of Their Kids’ Language. ①How many languages do you know? Have you ever been unable to learn about something because you speak only English? Do not feel limited (受限的) because English is a great foundation (基础) for learning Swedish. Learning a bit of Swedish will help you discover more about Sweden’s rich culture, fascinating history and beautiful land. ②Many words sound the same in Swedish and English. Even without a lesson, you already know several Swedish words. For example, “man” and “person” are the same in both languages. Not only are there many similar words, but some words are so close that you can know them at once. For example, “fish” in Swedish is only a one-letter change to “fisk”. “Room” is an easy change to “rum”. ③The similarities between English and Swedish go deeper than just words that look alike. English grammar and Swedish grammar are also very similar, which is helpful when you are using verbs. Swedish also uses the Roman alphabet (字母表), so you already know the Swedish ABCs. The only difference is three more letters—a, ą, ṍ—found at the end of the Swedish alphabet. ④Swedes are not very dramatic, so you will not hear a Swede saying something like “How sad you missed the bus!” or “That test was a killer.” Also, keep your hands to yourself because body language is uncommon. ⑤Many words in Swedish can be pronounced differently for several meanings. Usually, words are so far apart in meaning that beginners are understood even if they mispronounce words, but you will be learning a language that is a stepping-stone toward understanding a beautiful culture and land. 1．What is the English word “room” written as in Swedish? A．fisk B．rum C．man D．person 2．How many letters are there in the Swedish alphabet? A．Twenty B．Twenty-three C．Twenty-six D．Twenty-nine 3．Which of the following can you hardly see or hear in Sweden? a. People express thanks to those who have helped them. b. Teachers hold students’ hands when talking to them. c. Passengers joke how sad they missed the bus. d. Students make fun of the bad results of their math test. A．abc B．bcd C．acd D．abd 4．What can we know from the passage? A．Swedish is easy to learn compared with English. B．A number of Swedish words are pronounced the same. C．Swedes are good at guessing the meanings of the words. D．Good Swedish learners can understand Swedish culture better. 5．What’s the structure of the passage? A．①/②③④⑤ B．①/②③④/⑤ C．①/②/③④⑤ D．①/②③/④⑤ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
