（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。does this situation seem familiar to you？your english is progressing well，the grammar is now familiar，the reading comprehension is no problem，and you are speaking quite fluently.36 first of all，remember that you are not alone.listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of english as a foreign language.37 what you need to do is to find listening resources.the internet is really a useful tool for english students.you can download the realplayer from realm.the realplayer allows you to use the internet like a radio station.once you have begun to listen on a regular basis，you might still be frustrated(受阻)by limited understanding38 here is some of the advice i give my students：accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.stay relaxed when you do not understand，and try listening to the material for more times.do not translate everything into your native language.39 dont concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas.listen to something you enjoy.i remember the problems i had in understanding spoken german when i first went to germany.in the beginning，when i didnt understand a word，i insisted on translating it in my mind.40 then，after the first six months，i discovered two extremely important facts；firstly，translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker.secondly，most people repeat themselves constantly.by remaining calm，i noticed that even if i didnt pay much attention i could usually understand what the speaker had said.awhat should you do?bbut listening is a problem for most of the beginners!chowever，after several weeks，i got used to the grammar rulesdthe most important thing is to listen as often as possible.ethis method usually resulted in confusion.flisten for the general idea of the conversation.gbut you cant follow a native english speaker at all!第二部分完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（a、和d）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。that was when my son was 6 years old. my son is now 22 but whenever i look at him even as a grown man, i remember
