poor. whenever i speak to a chinese student they always say, “my spoken english is poor.” however, their spoken english does not have to remain “poor”! i would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken english.first, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. however, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you attitude is positive. others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.second, they are afraid of making mistakes. sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. yet students should remember that their goal should be fluency not accuracy (准确性). your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. however, in speaking you aim is fluency. you want to get your message across, to talk to someone in english, as quickly and as well as you can, ever though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.the third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. you have one mouth but two ears! all that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking. fourth, most chinese students are reactive rather than proactive (有前瞻性的) language learners. instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken english, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their english always remains poor. if you have this proactive outlook, then you will see english opportunities wherever you go.if you dont use your english beyond the classroom, you will forget what english you know. remember: use it or lose it! you can learn how to speak english better by speaking english more.5. what is most probably the writers purpose in writing the passage?a. to improve your reading. b. to improve your listening.c. to improve your spoken english. d. to improve your vocabulary.6. it can be inferred from the third paragraph that .a. dont be fluency. just be accuracy.b. dont be nervous, dont be shy, just write. c. dont be afraid of making mistakes. just speak!d. dont be shy, dont be fluency. just listen and write.7. the last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “ ”.a. more hurry, less speed b. better late than never c. silence id good d. practice makes perfectclondons chinese community (社区) dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of chinese sailors (水手) moved to the city to work in lime house, east london. as time went on, other chinese people came to this area and lime house began to be known as chinatown. at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 chinese people in britain. however, this situation changed greatly after the second world war. at this time, many farmers in hong kong lost their jobs, and decided to move to london.in the 1950s, a small chinese restaurant opened in central london. many british people visited it and said that chinese food was wonderful. suddenly, chinese restaurants started opening in every part of the city. instead of too little work, the new chinese immigrants (移民) now found that they had too much. most of the new immigrants enjoyed their life and the chances they were offered. many asked their friends and relatives to join them from their hometowns, and a lot of families were reunited again at this time.as time went by, londons chinese community became more and more successful. the sons and daughters of the first restaurant workers, encouraged by their parents, studied very hard at school and university. and most of them could get highly-paid jobs. as a result, increasing numbers of chinese families left chinatown and moved to the more expensive places. chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever, and a must see place for every visitor to london.8. from the passage, we can learn that the first members of “china town” were _.a. restaurant workers b. early chinese sailors c. hong kong farmers. d. visitors to london9. which of the following statements is not true?a. before the 20th century, “china town” in london was still very small.b. in the 1950s, chinese food became quite popular in britain.c. most of the new immigrants could find a job in the 1950s.d. with the help of the british government, chinatown was very successful.10. according to the passage, now most of the chinese living in london _. a. are clever b. work long hours c. have highly-paid jobs d. live an unhappy life第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。improve your memorysome people often complain about their
