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 your attitude is positive .other will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.second, they are afraid of making mistakes. sometimes they mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. yet students should remember that their goal should be fluency not accuracy. 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 your aim is fluency. 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, 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 was necessary for you to start speaking.forth, most chinese students are reactive rather than proactive 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 do not 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.1. 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.2. it can be inferred from the third paragraph that_.a. dont be fluency. just be accuracyb. 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!3. the last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “ _”.a. more hurry, less speed b. better late than neverc. silence is goldd. practice makes perfect4. the text is most probably taken from a_.a. teachers diaryb. report on studyc. sports newspaperd. movie magazinebimmediately i got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket ,and went out into the street to try my luck. i wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though i were about to commit a crime. then i stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.i felt tense and nervous. one moment i was part of the hurrying crowds, the next i stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin.the first few notes i played were loud and raw, then they settled down and began to run more smoothly. to my surprise i was neither caught nor told to shut up. indeed, nobody took any notice at all. then an old man without stopping secretly threw a penny into my hat, as if getting rid of some guilty evidence.other pennies followed, slowly but steadily, dropped by shadows who appeared not to see or hear me .it seemed too easy, like a secret trick.i worked there for several days, gradually getting the truth of the trade by trial and error (反复试验). it was not a good thing for example, to let the hat fill up with money; nor was it wise to empty it completely. placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a regular rule.5. when he first began to play the violin ,he expected _.a. to earn a lot of moneyb. to meet some familiar peoplec. to play better than he didd. to be told to move to somewhere else6. he gradually became confident that day because_.a. nobody looked at himb. he played the violin very wellc. people continued to give him moneyd. he earned a lot of money7. in the following days, he_.a. made a lot of mistakesb. learned how to do the job betterc. got better at playing the violind. did not make so much money8. he found that the best way of encouraging people to give him money was to _.a. play in different streetsb. leave all the money in the hatc. empty the hat at regular timesd. leave a small amount of money in the hativ. 书面表达（本题共20分）假如你是云南省贫困地区的一名失学儿童,名叫刘江。你很幸运得到在北京工作的一位美国人smith先生的帮助,能够重新回到校园学习。于是在2006年10月3日,你给smith先生写了一封信表示感谢。信的内容包括：1. 收到书和钱能够重返校园, 非常感谢。2. 在老师的帮助下, 学习取得了很大进步。3. 老师表扬, 家长鼓励。4. 决心努力学习, 取得更大进步。5. 盼望见到smith先生。因无机会去北京,希望smith先生寄一张照片来。_参考答案i. 1. we should read the text first so that we will know about the subject of the text.2. try to guess what the missing words are. sometimes, we can infer the missing words from the context.3. look for the clues in the sentences according to context.4. try to decide if the missing words are content words or grammar words.5. proofread it to ensure that it makes sense and check whether there are any mistakes in it, including any spelling mistakes.ii. 1. held up 2.
