【題目】One is not born able to speak a language. One is born able to make a noise. I have heard babies cry in America and in China. I can’t tell any difference. But when I hear someone from America speak English and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.

I believe a common(普遍的) problem with Chinese students’ learning English is that they were not taught to think in English. They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English. After along period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally. You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study. Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?

My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak. There are many things you can do to improve your spoken English. Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a language of the country.

【1】The cries of American and Chinese babies are _______.

A. different B. not like each other

C. the same D. like each other

【2】The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 2) means that______.

A. teachers never gave the students the way of learning English

B. some teachers didn’t teach students to think in English

C. students didn’t remember the way teachers taught them

D. teachers didn’t want their students to think in English

【3】The underlined word “they” (in Paragraph 2) refers to “_____”.

A. English students B. Chinese teachers

A. You must think in English all the time.

B. After speaking English for a long time, you may probably think in English naturally(自然地).

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】C

【4】B

【解析】

試題分析: 本文首先指出很多中國(guó)學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的不恰當(dāng)方法，然后介紹一種學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的方法--不斷說這種語(yǔ)言以培養(yǎng)用英語(yǔ)思考的能力。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“I have heard babies cry in America and in China. I can’t tell any difference. ”可知美國(guó)孩子和中國(guó)孩子的哭聲是沒有什么區(qū)別的。故選C。

【2】B 句意理解題。第二段畫線的句意：我認(rèn)為中國(guó)學(xué)生學(xué)英語(yǔ)的普遍問題是他們并不被教用英語(yǔ)思考。言下之意，一些老師并不教學(xué)生用英語(yǔ)思考，顧璇B。

【3】C 句意理解題。根據(jù)第二段“They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English. ”他們有了英語(yǔ)的想法會(huì)想把它翻譯成漢語(yǔ)，然后他們想到合適的回答再把它翻譯成英語(yǔ)。由句意可知畫線單詞they指代的是中國(guó)學(xué)生，故選C。

【4】B 推理判斷題。文中第二段“After along period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally. ”可看出在說了很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間這種語(yǔ)言之后，一個(gè)人會(huì)開始自然地用這種語(yǔ)言思考。故B正確。

【題目】World travel has moved on to a new level as new websites spring up to enable travelers to plan their trips online. Virtual tourism is the latest name of the game and although relatively new, has seen some tourism websites grow to host over one-million users.

Typically, this development features a website that contains the answers to almost any tourism question.Tips and information are not provided by a single source, such as the website host, but rather from travelers themselves-often in the thousands. This has proven to be exceptionally beneficial for would-be travelers who are seeking infomtation on questions such as where to find the best museum or beach; whether it is better to tour Brussels with a bicycle or on foot; and which exchange rate bureaus are available in Italy. Questions about food and restaurants; tourist spots; safety; accommodation; and others are all answered. In addition, posted tips promote better preparation, such as what to pack when heading for Sicily(西西里島).

Apart from the useful tips, visual images and virtual tours have also been made available.If you'd like to visit the Eiffel Tower, it's a good idea to view the surrounding areas; to pick a safer train route; or to know that it's very close to the Seine River and that a walk along it would enhance the experience.

Virtual tours have sprung up globally.In South Africa, John Gore established the Virtual Tour Guide in November last year. On his blog, Gore was quoted a saying, "The world is panoramic(全景的). "'We are able to tum heads and look in all directions and get a feel for where we are, but the typical photograph cannot show or describe that experience completely. " However, there is an answer--technology makes it possible to share the world around us in a 360 degree panoramic way, which really makes the viewer feel as though he or she is really there.

【1】Why is virtual tourism more and more popular?

A. Online games are more and more attractive.

B. Many new websites appear and develop fast.

C. More and more people want to travel abroad.

D. It helps travelers save as much money as possible.

【2】From the second paragraph we know

A. we can solve any problem on websites

B. websites offer all the tips and information

C. we can get all our questions answered online

D. we can get many tips about tourism on websites

【3】What does the underlined word "sprung up" most probably mean?

A. Appeared. B. Moved. C. Competed. D. Reduced.

【4】What makes us see the world in a panoramic way?

A. Information. B. Photograph.

C. Technology. D. Virtual images.
