13、ry 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. Fi

14、rstly, 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 you will ne

15、ver 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 an

16、d through different styles of learning. Something that really helped me progress was finding a patient language exchange partner.

C．They can't use the language in right situations. D．They can't help comparing themselves to others. 解析：選B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段可知，對語言學(xué)習(xí)者來說，要想學(xué)好一門外語，就

20、不要擔(dān)心犯錯，重要的是用這種語言交流，而不是在掌握了多少詞匯、多少語法知識時才能開口，由此可推知，選項B正確。 7．What's the best way to learn Spanish in the author's opinion? A．Find a partner whose Spanish is excellent. B．Set long-term goals to improve enthusiasm. C．Learn from an example and pick out weak points. D．Choose a language exchange partne

23、omputer programmers can only increase. To train the workforce of the future, companies around the world are wildly developing computing languages to introduce children to the appealing world of programming both in and out of school. The only drawback is that to learn or observe the results of their

24、 programming efforts, children have to be able to see. As a result, kids with limited or no vision are prevented from participating in this exciting trend. To change that, researchers at Microsoft's Cambridge, UK Lab have developed a new physical programming language that can be learned by all child

25、ren. Project Torino allows visually damaged kids aged 7 to 11 to create code that plays music, stories, or poetry by connecting physical pods (檢測裝置) together. Once done, an accompanying app changes the physical code into digital code. The smart system covers all the major concepts and is ready to

26、adapt to the needs of each student and set challenges based on the individual's skill.

While the system was created with visually damaged children in mind, Cecily Morrison, one of the researchers working on the project, hopes that it will appeal to everyone. 語篇解讀：隨著科技的發(fā)展，對計算機程序員的需求會不斷增加

29、。為了培養(yǎng)未來的勞動力，世界各地的公司都在大力開發(fā)計算機語言，把孩子們引入到學(xué)校內(nèi)外的編程領(lǐng)域。微軟正進(jìn)一步地改善系統(tǒng)，以此希望吸引更多的人。 9．Why do companies introduce children to the programming world?

30、可知隨著科技的發(fā)展，對計算機程序員的需求只會增加。為了培養(yǎng)未來的勞動力，世界各地的公司都在大力開發(fā)計算機語言，把孩子們引入到學(xué)校內(nèi)外的編程領(lǐng)域。 10．What is the advantage of the new smart system? A．It can help judge children's progress. B．It bases the challenges on kids' vision. C．Children with poor sight can see the code. D．It gives children guidance and instructio

31、ns. 解析：選A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句可知，最重要的是它提供即時反饋，使教育工作者能夠評估學(xué)生的進(jìn)步，并在需要時能提供幫助。因而它有助于幫助評判學(xué)生的進(jìn)步，故選A。 11．What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4? A．The size of the pods. B．The color of the pods. C．The Microsoft team's hard work. D．The improvement to the new system. 解析：選D　主旨大意題。根據(jù)第四段第一句及下文中的“Among the c

32、hanges is adding color ... were more engaged ...”可知，增加了豆莢的顏色及數(shù)量都是為了讓孩子們更能投入工作中。而A、B只是其中的一個細(xì)節(jié)，C項文中沒有涉及，故選D。 D People around the world are hungry to learn.Instructor Barbara Oakley discovered this when her online course Learning How to Learn attracted over 1.5 million students. Part of the goal of

33、her course is to present some of the facts that get in the way of learning; above all is the fact that we think we're bad at something or too old to make a change.“People can often do more, change more and learn more than they've ever dreamed.” Oakley writes. Oakley thinks it important to keep lear

34、ning.Throughout her early schooling, she flunked math and science classes and resisted family pressure to go after a science degree.Today? She's a scientist at Oakland University, after many different jobs in between. Besides being fun, Oakley explains, continued learning can serve us well in our c

35、areer.Many people are attending a program called “second-skilling”．When we lose our job, having other skills can give us more choices.We can also choose to take on different responsibilities within the same organization. A Dutch university employee enriched her career thanks to her gaming skill.She

36、 became the community manager of the university's online courses.We can never tell where our skill will lead us or where it will come in handy.

38、what learning looks like in the brain and it's bad news for those who loved to cram (突擊準(zhǔn)備考試)．The brain can only build so many neurons (神經(jīng)元) each night; regular practice is important. 語篇解讀：本文是一篇說明文。人類是熱愛學(xué)習(xí)的，只要堅持不懈，方法得當(dāng)，終能學(xué)有所用。 12．What is the biggest barrier to our learning according to Barbara Oakl

39、ey? A．Our low life goals. B．Our passive beliefs. C．Our personal interest. D．Our learning disability. 解析：選B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的第一句可知，Oakley認(rèn)為我們學(xué)習(xí)中的最大障礙就是自己的消極意識：認(rèn)為自己不擅長或是年紀(jì)大了不適合作改變就不去學(xué)習(xí)了。 13．What does the underlined word “flunked” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? A．Failed. B．Rejected. C．Attended.

40、 D．Enjoyed. 解析：選A　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在語境可知，Oakley數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)學(xué)得不好，家人不同意她選擇科學(xué)專業(yè)，但她還是頂住壓力勇敢追求自己的夢想，最后成為知名大學(xué)的科學(xué)家。由此可推知，flunk意為“(考試、測驗等)失敗，不及格”。 14．What does the author mainly want to show in Paragraph 4? A．The surprises brought by second-skilling. B．The wide choices coming with more skills. C．The necessity of

41、 learning professional skills.

A．Study in

42、 a quiet environment. B．Keep focused for being efficient. C．Stay up for an exam when needed. D．Include relaxation in the learning process. 解析：選D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“In order to absorb information ...have the time for rest and relaxation.”可知，Oakley贊成學(xué)習(xí)一段時間后要放松一下。 Ⅱ.閱讀七選五 How to learn a foreign langu

43、age ?__1__ This might sound obvious, but if you don't have a good reason for learning a language, you are less likely to stay motivated over the long run. Wanting to impress English-speakers with your French is not a very good reason; wanting to get to know a French person in his or her own langua

44、ge is another matter entirely. ?Have fun with it. Using your new language in any way is a creative act. You can practice the language by writing and recording songs. __2__ Making a radio play with a friend, writing a poem and talking to whomever you can are all good ways to make it pleasant to lea

45、rn a foreign language. ?Act like a kid. The key to learning as quickly as a child may be to simply take on certain childlike attitudes. As kids, we are expected to make mistakes, but as adults mistakes become taboo (禁忌的). __3__ It's the key to progress in learning a language. Let go of your grown-

46、up inhibitions (顧慮)! ?Listen frequently. You must learn to look before you can draw. We're able to pronounce anything; it's just that we're not used to doing it. __4__ By doing this, you can imagine through which specific part of the mouth or the throat the sound could be achieved. ?Talk to yours

47、elf. It might sound really strange, but actually speaking to yourself in a language is a great way to practice if you're not able to use it all the time. This can keep new words and phrases fresh in your mind.__5__ A．Know why you are doing it. B．Never give up learning it halfway. C．Admit that yo

48、u don't know everything. D．Think of some fun ways to practice your new language. E．You may feel confident next time you speak with others. F．The learning ability of an adult is not necessarily stronger than that of a kid. G．The best way to go about mastering a new word is actually to hear it con

49、stantly. 1．選A　根據(jù)第一段第一句可知，如果沒有一個好的理由去學(xué)習(xí)一門語言，你很可能沒法保持動力長久地堅持下去。由此推知，學(xué)習(xí)一門語言需要有理由、動機，知道自己為什么要學(xué)。 2．選D　本段的小標(biāo)題意為“樂在其中；在學(xué)習(xí)(語言)過程中享受樂趣”，如何樂在其中？可以通過有趣的方法去練習(xí)。另外，本段末句列舉了幾種能夠使學(xué)習(xí)外語變得有趣的方法，故D選項“想出一些練習(xí)新語言的有趣的方法”為正確答案。 3．選C　根據(jù)上文可知，快速學(xué)習(xí)語言的訣竅是要有小孩子一樣的態(tài)度。孩子可以犯錯，而成年人把犯錯當(dāng)成禁忌。故成年人在學(xué)習(xí)語言時要勇于承認(rèn)自己的不足，這是取得進(jìn)步的關(guān)鍵。 4．選G　本段小標(biāo)題為“Listen frequently.”，G選項中的“hear it constantly”與之相符。 5．選E　根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知，如果你不能一直使用某種語言(與人交談)，那么有一種很好的練習(xí)方式就是自言自語。這樣做能使新的詞匯和短語在你的腦海里保持鮮活記憶。有了練習(xí)的經(jīng)驗，再加上積累的“詞匯和短語”，下一次你和別人交談的時候，可能就會有自信了。 10
