a. in a car magazine b. in an advertisement. c. in a newspaper. d. in a science bookbcool is a word with many meanings. its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. as the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.cool can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. when you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say its cool. you may think, hes so cool, when you see your favorite footballer.we all maximize (扩大) the meaning of cool. you can use it instead of many words such as new or surprising. heres an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. a teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. on one students paper was just the one sentence, its so cool. maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.but the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. without cool, some people have no words to show the same meaning. so it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word cool?

if so, you arent alone. many parents find it hard to communicate (交流)with their child. even adults who work with children every day teachers or coaches sometimes need some communication tips. many times adults confuse communication with telling a child what to do. telling a child to do his homework or get more sleep isnt real communication. its important information that your child needs, but it lacks（缺少） an important part of communication. its lacking the two-way exchange of feelings and ideas, which is the point of true communication. healthy communication is the key to helping your child develop a healthy personality and good relationships with you. it gives your child a chance to become a happy, safe, healthy person, no matter what happens. so you know its important, but how should you do it? effective communication between parents and children is not always easy. children and adults have different communication styles and different ways of responding in a conversation. in addition, time and place can determine how successful communication will be. parents should make time to talk with their children in a quiet, unhurried way. its also important that parents should be ready to listen whenever their child wants to talk, even if its an inconvenient(不方便) time. the parents should be aware of their childs facial expression and body language. is your child nervous or uncomfortable frowning(皱眉), drumming fingers, tapping（轻拍） a foot or looking at the clock? or does your child seem relaxed? is he or she smiling or looking at you in the eyes? reading these signs will help you know how your child is feeling.51. which of the following belongs to real communication? a. telling children to return home early after school. b. reporting school results to parents. c. listening to what children say and giving a reply. d. answering the teachers questions in class.52. the key to real communication is _. a. a proper time b. various styles c. a two-way exchange d. good attitudes 53. which of the following is not mentioned as a factor（要点）affecting thecommunication between adults and children? a. communication styles. b. different languages. c. different responding ways. d. wrong time and place.54. how can parents know their childs feeling when communicating with their child? a. by reading their childs body language and facial expressions. b. by making their child tell the truth. c. by giving the information that their child needs. d. by developing good relationships with their child.55. who is the passage probably written for? a. children. b. parents. c. teachers. d. scientists.part iv tasked-based gap filling (5 scores)directions: read the following passage. complete the diagram/fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. write no more than 3 words for each answer.although many chinese students say that their knowledge of english grammar is good, most would admit that their 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 find ways to make their vocabulary large enough. however, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your 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 in speaking your aim is fluency, not accuracy(准确tudents should remember that in speaking your aim is fluency, not accuracy()lary. enlgish. ). you want to get your message across to talk to someone in english, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense.the third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. you have one mouth but two ears! all that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.fourth, most chinese students are reactive(反应性的) rather than proactive(主动的) language learners. instead of actively taking 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.title: how to improve the 56. of chinese students57. for the problems with spoken english:advicefail to find vocabulary to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary58. ;speak with limited vocabularybe afraid of making mistakesmake fluency in speaking as your aim59. less attention to listeningrealize the importance of hearing to start speakingbe reactive instead of proactivenever wait for 60. to comepart v
