Have you ever noticed someone "talking" ...

Have you ever noticed someone "talking" to them-selves? What did you think? The word "crazy" probably came to your mind. Wait a minute, though. Maybe they’re doing something meaningful.

Speaking practice can be effective in many different forms when people learn English or another foreign language. Imitating the speech of others is proven to be highly effective in developing a native speaker’s level of fluency in a language. Actually you’ve already proven that to your-self.

How? That’s how you learned your first language! Whether it was English, Spanish, French or some other language, you "imitated" your mother, father, other family members, friends, teachers and whoever else was around making "talking" noises at you as you formed your first communicative language skills.

So don’t think those who are talking to themselves are "crazy". At least don’t do so until you’ve tried it for your-self, in English or in your new foreign language.

As you go through your day, in English or your new foreign language, tell yourself what you’re doing at the moment and what you’re going to do during the day.

"Which of these shirts, ties, etc. should I wear today? Not this one, I wore it just last week. Maybe this one, but I don’t like this color with the pants. Let’s try another one," you might say as you are getting dressed.

If you live alone, you can talk aloud whenever you want without disturbing others. If you don’t live alone, however, then first explain to your family or roommates what you’ll be doing, to avoid a quiet phone call to the local psychiatrist (精神病学家).

1.The author wrote the passage mainly to _______.

A.tell us how to talk to ourselves

B.introduce a method of learning a foreign language

C.tell us why some people talk to themselves

D.explain to us how we learned our native language

2.What does the underlined word "it" in the fifth paragraph refer to?

A.The word "crazy".                       B.A foreign language.

C.The skill of communicating.                D.The method of talking to oneself.

3.From the passage we can know that ______.

A.people who talk to themselves are crazy

B.if you live alone, you should talk to yourself

C.you should tell yourself what you’re doing

D.we learned our native language by imitating

 

1.B 2.D 3.D 【解析】 试题分析:本文主要讲述的就是一种学习语言的方法: "talking" to them-selves。这是一种通过模仿他人的语言的方式来锻炼自己语言的熟练程度的学习方法。 1.B 主旨大意题。通读全文可知本文主要讲述的就是一种学习语言的方法: "talking" to them-selves。这是一种通过模仿他人的语言的方式来锻炼自己语言的熟练程度的学习方法。故B正确。 2.D 推理题。根据本句So don’t think those who are talking to themselves are "crazy". At least don’t do so until you’ve tried it for your-self, in English or in your new foreign language.可知这里的It就是指前句的talking to themselves。故D正确。 3.D 细节题。根据文章第三段That’s how you learned your first language!

An inventor seeks to create a new product that serves a specific need and fulfills a role that other products do not. Sometimes an inventor comes up with a wholly new idea, but more often inventions are simply improvements on an older design. With a little imagination and creativity (创造力), an old idea can suddenly become something new.

However, creating a new invention means much more than having a brilliant idea. A good designer follows the design process: identifying the challenge, researching and brainstorming ideas(集思广益), designing a solution, testing and evaluating the ideas, and finally building the product. Designers also use science, math, technology, and engineering to design a tool that satisfies the need they identified.

Anyone can be an inventor —even kids! For example, Chester Greenwood was just fifteen years old when he invented a product that changed his life. In fact, his idea was so good that his invention supported him for the rest of his life. You may not know his name, but you probably know his invention —earmuffs (保暖耳罩)!

The inspiration for his earmuff design came to Chester when he was ice-skating. His ears were cold, and he decided to find a way to keep them warm. With the help of his grandmother, he made a new product to protect his ears and at the age of eighteen, Chester patented his earmuff design.

Many other famous inventors started young as well. Margaret Knight —the inventor of the flat-bottomed brown paper bag —is said to have created a safety device for textile looms(织布机) when she was just twelve years old. Another example is Thomas Edison, one of the greatest inventors in history, who applied for his first patent when he was just twenty-one years old. Over the course of his life, Thomas Edison patented a total of 1,093 inventions!

1.In most cases, an invention ________ according to the first paragraph.

A.comes from a complete new idea           B.is usually based on an old product or idea

C.will change its creator’s life completely     D.is created by scientists in different fields

2.The second paragraph mainly wants to tell us _______.

A.the difficulty in making a new invention      B.the common steps of creating new things

C.having a good idea is the key to creation      D.designing a tool is the first step in inventing

3.The example of Chester Greenwood is used to show that ________.

A.children can also invent something

B.it is easy even for children to make inventions

C.kids have more advantages in inventing things

D.to be an inventor is the best way to change one’s life

4.At first Chester designed his earmuffs in order to ________.

A.protect his ears while ice-skating

B.earn money to support his poor family

C.realize his dream of becoming an inventor

D.make himself look fashionable while ice-skating

Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries may speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.

The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.

The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check this in a dictionary.

1.The writer thinks that ___________.

A.choose a good dictionary, and you’ll be successful in learning English

B.dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English

C.it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly

D.using dictionaries very often can’t help to improve writing

2.According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?

A.Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English.

B.Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries.

C.Small two-language dictionaries have serious shortcomings.

D.Reading something for the first time, you’d better not use dictionaries.

3.When in the reading does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary?

A.At the beginning of the reading             B.At the end of the reading

C.During the first reading                   D.After the first reading

4.This passage mainly tells us .

A.that students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionaries

B.what were the shortcomings of small two-language dictionaries

C.why students should use large college edition dictionaries

D.what dictionary students should choose and how to use it

Not many years ago, a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was seventy-five, he gave£12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground.

As a result of his kindness, many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be a hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy-five. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky (威士忌酒) and drank some each day. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening,” he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.

The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had a daily injection in his neck. Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain, asking him for the secret of his daily injection.
