A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognizedhis footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?”The man said, “I only wrote the truth.

Take the sentence How do you do? for example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. Its important to learn the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener cant understand the speakers sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesnt change. Lets see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.She only likes apples. Only she likes apples.I have seen the film already. I have already seen the film.When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does.（1）According to the passage we know that _ when we are learning English.A . we shouldnt put every word into our own languageB . we should look up every word in the dictionaryC . we need to put every word into our own languageD . we must read word by word（2）What s the writers opinion in learning English?A . Its difficult to understand different sounds.B . Its impossible to remember the word order.C . Its important to learn the rules in different ways.D . Its easy to learn the rules for word order.（3）If the speakers put words in a wrong order, _.A . it must be a right sentenceB . the listener cant understand the speakers sentence easilyC . the meaning of the sentence always changesD . the meaning of a sentence must be the same（4）Which of the following sentences has the same meaning as She only likes apples ?A . Only she likes apples.B . She doesnt like any fruits but apples.C . She likes fruit except apples.D . she doesnt like apples.（5）Which is the best title for this passage?A . Different Orders, Different MeaningsB . How to Speak EnglishC . How to Put English into Our Own LanguageD . How to Learn English三、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共5分)6. （5分）根据短文内容，完成表格，每空一词。John is from London.
