Question

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容填写表格，每空限填一词。

Many Chinese students are good at English grammar, but their spoken English is so poor that they are afraid to speak in class or have a talk with others. There may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

First, they fail to express themselves clearly because of a limited(有限的)vocabulary. The useful way is to enlarge their vocabulary. However, you can still communicate with others with a limited vocabulary, if you are active. Others will understand you with the help of your body language.

Second, they are worried about making mistakes. Because they are shy and nervous, sometimes they may make mistakes easily. Yet we should know what we aim at is FLUENTCE(流利) not ACCURACY(精确) when speaking. So we should speak as quickly and well as we can, even though sometimes we may use a wrong word or tense(时态), but it doesn’t matter because others will still understand you.

The third reason is that they don’t pay enough attention to listening to what others are saying. So while you are speaking, you can't find the suitable topic or words to say. You have one mouth but two ears! What you hear is necessary for you to start speaking.

Fourth, most Chinese students are passive(被动的) language learners. They just sit there waiting for speaking chances, and don't actively look for chances to improve their spoken English. All they can get is to accept the fact that their English remains poor.

“Practice makes perfect". So please be active from now on, try to catch every chance to speak wherever you go.

USE IT or LOST IT? It is up to you.

【解析】

文章大意：许多中国学生很擅长英语语法，但是他们的英语口语很差，以致于他们很难与他人交流。文章分析了产生中国学生英语口语薄弱的多种原因。

1.细节理解题。根据原文中语句”There may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English” 他们的英语口语可能有一些问题。可知此栏目是问题的原因。故答案为Causes。

2.细节理解题。根据原文中语句“The useful way is to enlarge their vocabulary”有用的方法是扩大他们的词汇量可知，故答案为vocabulary。

3.细节理解题。根据原文中语句“Others will understand you with the help of your body language,”结合上下文句意，在交流过程中，我们也可以使用肢体语言，让他人明白我们的意思。and后省略了动词不定式to，要填写动词原形，故答案为use。

4.细节理解题。根据原文中语句“Second ,they are worried about making mistakes” 第二，他们担心犯错误可知, 且主语为动名词形式。故答案为Worrying。

5.细节理解题。根据原文中语句“sometimes they may make mistakes easily.” 有时他们很容易犯错误。根据空前It is，此空应填形容词，可知，故答案为easy。

6.细节理解题。根据原文中语句“So we should speak as quickly and well as we can”所以我们应该尽快说出来。可知，此处应该填写possible.此外，as+adv+as one can=as+adv.+as possible故答案为possible。

7.细节理解题。根据原文中语句“So we should speak as quickly and well as we can，even though sometimes we may use a wrong word or tense,but it doesn't matter because others will still understand you.”可知，即使你用错了一个单词或者时态，也不用过于在意，别人依然可以明白你。pay attention to doing sth.注意做某事，故答案为using。

8.细节理解题。根据原文中语句“The third reason is that you don't pay enough attention to listening to what others are saying”第三个原因是你没有足够注意听别人说的话。可知，你不会表达自己原因之一，是没有对别人所说的给予足够的注意力。故答案为little。

9.细节理解题。根据原文中语句“What you hear is necessary for you to start speaking”你所听到的对你开始说话是必要的。此处是现在完成时，have后面要跟过去分词，故答案为heard。

10.细节理解题。根据原文中语句“They just sit there waiting for speaking chances” 他们只是坐在那里等着说话的机会。可知，如果想要提高英语口语，应该抓住每一个机会进行练习使用英语表达。practice doing sth.练习做某事。故答案为speaking。
