Nearly every smartphone these days has an inbuilt recording feature (内置录音功能) which you can use to test your speaking skills. You can record yourself speaking, play the recording back, and correct your own mistakes.I practised this way in Italian. I chose some speaking questions from PET and did the exercise three times. The first time, I made a few grammar mistakes and didnt speak for long enough. The second time was a bit better, and the third time was nearly perfect.All in all, I made a real improvement with my grammar, pronunciation and how long I spoke. Also, recording myself put me under the pressure (压力) I would experience during an important speaking test.Many students found this method (B) . Nelia, from Brazil, said that she could hear her mistakes when she listened to her voice. She was mainly using the wrong verb tense (时态) and using prepositions(介词) incorrectly. When she tried the exercise again, she got its right! Donghyeon, from South Korea, said that the exercise helped him to improve his English skills in general.（1）How to test your speaking skills with a smartphone?(根据原文回答) （2）Are the questions the writer chose from an end-of-course test or an official exam? （3）在(A)(B)两处各填入一词使句意完整。 （A）_ (B) _（4）将文中处划线句子译成汉语。 （5）请给文章拟一个题目。 三、 完形填空（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） (共1题；共15分)6. （15分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后在各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出一个最佳选项。 Jonathan had broken my favorite azalea (杜鹃花)bush before I could stop him.
