Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” 21 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. 22 However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know. 23 Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they areshy 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. 24The 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(主动的) 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. 25.A. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.C. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.D. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.E. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!F. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.G. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.参考答案：1.E 2.C 3.F 4.A 5.D3. Can you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you?

At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. _22_. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. 23_. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 24_. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. 25_.

November!On the other hand, another English poet John Keats, already sensing he was seriously ill, was inspired by a late September day to pen one of the most famous poems in the English language, To Autumn. _23_ According to Richard Mabey, Keats has the biological evidence on his side. _24_For example, just at the moment that Keatss “gathering swallows” (in To Autumn) are departing for Africa, millions of creatures are fleeing from the frozen north like Iceland, Greenland and Russia to winter along the east and south coasts of Britain. People might argue that it is the coloring of the leaves and their eventual fall that make people feel sad about autumn. But no one is sure why trees drop their leaves in the first place. It may be likely to rid the poisonous material trees collect over the summer. _25_A century after Keats, the American poet Loren Eiseley wrote in his journal: “Suppose we saw ourselves burning like maples in a golden autumn. And suppose we could disintegrate(瓦解) like autumn leavesWould not our attitude towards death be different?”A. Autumn is not a time of slowing down, but a time of new beginnings and great movements of creatures.B. He wrote to a friend afterwards that there was something comforting and healing about autumn.C. Keats thought we should take a negative attitude towards death.D. Autumn means different to different people.E. If this is true, perhaps it tells us a little about, for instance, Thomas Hood, the 19th Century English poet.F. More likely, it is a way of reducing the loss of water, which tree roots find hard to take in from cold soil.G. The fall of tree leaves is more likely to make people sad.参考答案：21D22.E23.B24.A25.F8. Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all. It is said that our body movements communicate about 50% of what we really mean while words themselves only express 7%. So, while your mouth is closed, just what is your body saying Arms. 21 If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. 22 If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show youre unhappy.Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are monitor in class, you can take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. _23_Legs.

Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. _21_. We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we dont feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. _22_.The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. As mercury ( or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube. _23_.First . Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap ; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole.24_.Finally . Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily._25_.As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.AWe use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.BThermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.CNow that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.DThe water will rise in the straw.
