12、 tough. I remember walking into my first-ever Spanish class at university only to discover that half of my classmates were already fluent in multiple 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 ve

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. Finding someone whose level of English was similar to my level of Spanish to practise with made me feel much more confident. Lastly, celebrate the small success and reme

17、mber 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! 語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。作者通過(guò)自己學(xué)習(xí)西班牙語(yǔ)的經(jīng)歷，就如何學(xué)好外語(yǔ)提出了幾點(diǎn)建議。 5．What does the underlined part suggest in the passage?

18、smates. B．The author wanted to leave university immediately. C．The author failed to join in his classmates' conversation. D．The author was unable to speak many languages. 解析：選D　句意理解題。根據(jù)上文可知，作者是第一次上西班牙語(yǔ)課，而此時(shí)作者的同學(xué)中有一半的人都能流利地講多種語(yǔ)言了，作者感到這很不可思議，自己很難做到流利地講多種語(yǔ)言了。out of one's depth“為某人力所不及，非某人所能理解”，故選D項(xiàng)

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(duì)語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)者來(lái)說(shuō)，要想學(xué)好一門外語(yǔ)，就

20、不要擔(dān)心犯錯(cuò)，重要的是用這種語(yǔ)言交流，而不是在掌握了多少詞匯、多少語(yǔ)法知識(shí)時(shí)才能開(kāi)口，由此可推知，選項(xiàng)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

A．Mastering Spanish is a chance in a million. B．Learning new languages is not so hard. C．Confidence is the key to speaking a language. D．Do

22、n't ignore what you have achieved in learning. 解析：選B　主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，作者在前兩段談到自己學(xué)習(xí)西班牙語(yǔ)的經(jīng)歷，但是接下來(lái)作者就如何掌握好外語(yǔ)提出了建議。第二段中的“In fact, it was not as terrible as I thought.”也是關(guān)鍵提示，由此可知，作者想要表達(dá)的是學(xué)習(xí)一門新的語(yǔ)言并不是一件那么困難的事情，故選B項(xiàng)。 C (2019·安徽高三聯(lián)考) With technology entering almost every aspect of our lives, the demand for c

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(cè)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. Most importantly, it provides instant feedback, enabling educators to assess students' progress and provide assistance as needed. The Microsoft team is currently developing the system further. Among the changes i

27、s adding color to the previously all-white pods because it helps children with limited vision to learn better. The size of the pods is also being increased since kids working in pairs were more engaged when they could both physically hold the pods and touch hands. The program will be expanded to 10

28、0 elementary school children in the UK this fall, and, once perfected, to kids across the world. 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(yǔ)篇解讀：隨著科技的發(fā)展，對(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)程序員的需求會(huì)不斷增加

29、。為了培養(yǎng)未來(lái)的勞動(dòng)力，世界各地的公司都在大力開(kāi)發(fā)計(jì)算機(jī)語(yǔ)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? A．To satisfy children's curiosity. B．To develop children's potential. C．To foster the future programmers. D．To make children more competitive. 解析：選C　根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容

30、可知隨著科技的發(fā)展，對(duì)計(jì)算機(jī)程序員的需求只會(huì)增加。為了培養(yǎng)未來(lái)的勞動(dòng)力，世界各地的公司都在大力開(kāi)發(fā)計(jì)算機(jī)語(yǔ)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(shí)反饋，使教育工作者能夠評(píng)估學(xué)生的進(jìn)步，并在需要時(shí)能提供幫助。因而它有助于幫助評(píng)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(gè)細(xì)節(jié)，C項(xiàng)文中沒(méi)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. Oakley offers many tips that make learning more efficient (高效的)．In order to absorb information, our brains need periods of focus followed by periods of min

37、d-wandering.So learners will actually learn more if they have the time for rest and relaxation.We should also experiment with different levels of background sound to achieve best focus.Quiet leads to deeper focus, while mild background sound may encourage creative thinking.Research is now exploring

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(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。人類是熱愛(ài)學(xué)習(xí)的，只要堅(jiān)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(shí)：認(rèn)為自己不擅長(zhǎng)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(cè)題。根據(jù)畫線詞所在語(yǔ)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(mèng)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(cè)驗(yàn)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. D．The benefits of keeping learning to our career. 解析：選D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段內(nèi)容特別是第一句“Besides being fun, Oakley explains, continued learning can serve us well in our career.”可知，作者在這一段通過(guò)具體的事例表明不斷的學(xué)習(xí)有助于我們事業(yè)的發(fā)展。 15．Which of the following tips would Oakley agree with? 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(shí)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(méi)有一個(gè)好的理由去學(xué)習(xí)一門語(yǔ)言，你很可能沒(méi)法保持動(dòng)力長(zhǎng)久地堅(jiān)持下去。由此推知，學(xué)習(xí)一門語(yǔ)言需要有理由、動(dòng)機(jī)，知道自己為什么要學(xué)。 2．選D　本段的小標(biāo)題意為“樂(lè)在其中；在學(xué)習(xí)(語(yǔ)言)過(guò)程中享受樂(lè)趣”，如何樂(lè)在其中？可以通過(guò)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(yǔ)變得有趣的方法，故D選項(xiàng)“想出一些練習(xí)新語(yǔ)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(yǔ)言的訣竅是要有小孩子一樣的態(tài)度。孩子可以犯錯(cuò)，而成年人把犯錯(cuò)當(dāng)成禁忌。故成年人在學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言時(shí)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(xiàng)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(yǔ)言(與人交談)，那么有一種很好的練習(xí)方式就是自言自語(yǔ)。這樣做能使新的詞匯和短語(yǔ)在你的腦海里保持鮮活記憶。有了練習(xí)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，再加上積累的“詞匯和短語(yǔ)”，下一次你和別人交談的時(shí)候，可能就會(huì)有自信了。 10
