can pick up new vocabulary master rules of grammar and learn to write in the new language much more quickly than other people They do not seem to be any cleverer than others What makes language learning so much easier for them Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners we may discover a few techniques which make language learning easier for them 考试大论坛 Firstly successful language learners are independent learners They do not depend on the book or the teacher they d rather discover their own way to learn the 6 language than wait for the teacher to explain everything They try to find the sentence patterns the rules and the meaning of the new word by themselves They are good guessers They look for clues and form their own conclusions When they guess wrong they guess again They try to learn from their mistakes 来源 Besides successful language learning is active learning Therefore successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language they look for such a chance They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them whenever they make a mistake They will try anything to communicate They are not afraid to repeat they are willing to make mistakes and try again When communication 交流 is difficult they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know every word s Finally successful language learners are learners with a purpose They want to learn the language because they have an interest in the language and the people who speak it It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them 16 Successful language learners are independent so successful learners A depend on the book or the teacher B wait for the teacher to explain everything C learn from their mistakes D discover their own way to learn languages 17 According to the passage what will successful language learners do when they meet some new words A Try to guess their meanings B Ask their teachers C Look the new words up in the dictionary D Pay no attention to them 18 Successful language

or an international driving permit In case of France Germany and Switzerland an official translation of your home country s driving license is required International driving permits must be obtained in your home country usually through the National Automobile Association before you leave for Japan They are valid for one year and must be accompanied by your home country s driving license in order to be valid Japan recognizes only international driving permits which are based on the Geneva Convention of 1949 Some countries such as France Germany and Switzerland however issue international driving permits which are based on different conventions The permits issued by those countries are not valid in Japan Instead people with a French German or Swiss driver s license can drive in Japan for up to one year with an official Japanese translation of their driving licenses Contact the respective embassies or consulates in Japan for details on how to obtain a recognized translation The minimum age for driving in Japan is 18 years 21 What kind of permit should a foreigner obtain if he wants to rent or drive a car in Japan A He must have a driver s license of his own country B He must

on Geneva Convention of 1949 25 The last sentence means A people in all ages are allowed to drive in Japan B people under the age of 15 can also drive in Japan 8 C people at or above the age of 18 can be allowed to drive in Japan D people can be allowed to drive for 18 years at least Passage 6 Packaging is a very important form of advertising A package can sometimes motivate people to buy products For example a little child might ask for a breakfast food contained in a box with a picture of a TV character The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food Pictures for children to color or cut out games printed on a package or a small gift inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents to buy for them Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this Although a similar product in plain container might cost less people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish because they believe the container is free However the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product The size of a package also motivates a buyer Maybe the package has Economy Size or Family Size printed on it This suggests that the larger size has the most product for the least money But that is not always true To find it out a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit The information on the package should provide some answers But the important thing for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement The words and pictures do not tell the whole story Only the product inside can do that 26 A buyer will get something for nothing in paragraph 2 may tell us the following except A a buyer will not get what he pays for B a buyer will get more than what he pays for C a buyer will get something useful free of charge D a buyer will get more but pay less 27 From the passage we know the buyer pays more attention to A the size of a container B a container with attractive picture C a well designed container D a plain container with low cost 28 What suggestion does the writer give in the passage A It s not good to buy the product which is sold in a glass or dish B The quality of a container has nothing to do with the quality of the product C The best choice for a buyer is to buy a product in a plain package D A buyer should buy what he needs most rather than a well designed package 29 Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage A In fact glasses or dishes used for packaging do not cost money at all B Family Size printed on the package means that it is rather economic C To a child even to an adult the form is far more important than the content D Words and pictures written on the package are thought to be an advertisement 9 30 What do you think is the best title for the passage A Packaging Makes a Product B Packaging Makes an Advertisement C How to sell Product D How to Attract More Buyers 第三部分 词汇与结构第三部分 词汇与结构 针对每个句子中未完成的部分有 4 个选项 请从 A B C D 四个选项中 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 1 The color of my umbrella is different from of yours A this B that C it D one 2 The old
