immigrants(移民) coming into the united states have contributed many words to the language, which have kept their original pronunciation. “coolie” and “kowtow” were taken from the chinese language, “kamikaze” from the japanese, “shampoo” from india, “blitz” from german, “amigo” and “los angeles” from spanish and so on. many students have studied english for years, some as many as eight. however, some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent english. some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them. in our oral english classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native english speakers. for this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear english and your mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) english, we will have a rule that only english will be spoken in our english classes. anyone speaking chinese in class will be required to pay a fine in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of english. if teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. it is everyones job to enforce the english-only rule. it is for your benefit. it is because we want to accustom (使习惯于) your ears to hearing english. other subjects may be learned solely from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to speak it! students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun, so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out. enjoy your classes.56. the first paragraph is mainly about_. a. the difficulty of learning english.b. how interesting and various english isc. different words in different languagesd. the immigrants contributions to america57. the underlined word “discern” in para 2 can be replaced by_. a. understandb. noticec. heard. speak 58. in the authors opinion, the only way to learn a language well is to_. a. listen to it on the radiob. learn it from booksc. play games with it d. speak it often 59. the article is probably aimed at_. a. japanese studentsb. german studentsc. chinese studentsd. indian studentsbnot everyone goes to university after high school graduation. some work, others join the army and an increasing number worldwide are taking a “gap year” to travel or do community service in their own countries or abroad. they are studying sharks off the australian coast, building schools in mexico and learning spanish or italian.the concept of a gap year may not be new, but the recent surge(涌现) of interest certainly is. some students are putting off admissions. others, who dont get into the college of their choice, are taking a year to explore new frontiers before reapplying.students are choosing to take a breather; they are thinking. they are not sure what they are going to do. they are going and exploring some of their interests. they are getting experience they can take to the school they finally go to.it is an idea actively encouraged by colleges. princeton university has just launched a “bridge year” program that will send 10 percent of its incoming class to do volunteer work abroad, starting in 2009. and the harvard has spent the last 30 years urging incoming students to take a gap year. “many speak of their year away as a life-changing experience or a turning point” says harvard admissions director marlin lewis. “many come to college with new opinions about their academic plans, their extracurricular interests and the career possibilities they observed in their year away.”60. the reasons why some take a gap year are the following except that _.a. they hate studying b. they dont know what to doc. they want to get experience d. they want to know their real interests61. a student wont _ in a gap year.a. travel b. join the army c. do community service d. learn a foreign language62. after a gap year, one would probably _.a. take another year offb. earn a lot of moneyc. be refused by his colleged. have new ideas about their future career63. from the passage we know that _.a. more and more students will take a gap yearb. fewer and fewer colleges will encourage his students to take a gap yearc. the gap year can only give one some experience about society d. nobody will change his own interests after the gap year cshopping is not as simple as you think! there are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf.coloring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. health foods are packages in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors. ice cream packets are often blue and expensive foods, like chocolates, are gold and silver. when some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colors turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white package because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.the size of a product can attract a shopper. but quite often a bottle doesnt contain as much as it appears to.it is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging.the most successful producers know that its not enough to have a good product. the founder of pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote their goods, came to the conclusion: “any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”64. which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text? a. the cost of its package. b. the price of the product. c. the color of its package. d. the brand name of the product.65. the underlined part in paragraph 3 means that the colors _. a. attracted the customers strongly b. had weak effect on the customers c. tricked the customers into shopping d. caused the customers to lose interest66. which of the following would be the best title for this text? a. choice of good products b. disadvantages of products c. effect of packaging on shopping d. brand names and shopping tricksdnot all memories are sweet. some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. often they relive these experiences in nightmares.now american researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. the pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. they hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.in november, experts tested a drug on people in the us and france. the drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. so far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. they are not sure to what degree peoples memories are affected. the research has caused a great deal of argument. some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. they say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.some memories can ruin peoples lives. they come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. they usually come with very painful emotions, said roger pitman, a professor of psychiatry at harvard medical school. this could relieve a lot of that suffering.but those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change peoples memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. they also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.all of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. im not sure we want to wipe those memories out, said rebecca dresser, a medical ethicist.67. the passage is mainly about _.a. a new medical invention b. a new research on the pillc. a way of wiping out painful memories d. an argument about the research on the pill68. the drug tested on people can _.a. cause the brain to fix memories b. stop people remembering bad experiencesc. prevent body producing certain chemicals d. wipe out the emotional effects of memories69. we can infer from the passage that _.a. people doubt the effects of the pillsb. the pill will certainly stop peoples emotional memoriesc. taking the pill will do harm to peoples physical hea
