They study grammar rules and take grammar tests. They use an analytical approach, attempting to memorize, and then apply, a great number of rules. However, research has proved this method inefficient and ineffective. The truth is, the human brain simply cannot consciously remember, process, and use hundreds of or thousands of grammar rules. Real speech is too fast. Native speakers do not learn grammar in this way, but rather intuitively (凭直觉地) and unconsciously. They learn in a complete way, not by attempting to memorize individual grammar rules. As a result, native speakers use correct grammar fluently and easily. Fortunately, it is possible for English learners to learn grammar this way. Language teacher Blaine Ray has developed a unique intuitive approach to teach English grammar. Her system uses point of view stories to teach the patterns of English grammar, allowing students unconsciously to acquire correct grammar without ever studying grammar rules. In this system, the teacher first tells a simple story from one point of view. It may be told about the past, then repeated, but beginning with since he was a child; then repeated again, but this time about the future. Listening to these stories allows students intuitively and effortlessly to learn English grammar and makes them be able to use it correctly when they speak. Point of View Stories is a creative new way to study English grammar, and offers hope to millions of frustrated English learners.56. Which of the following ways is approved by the author? A. Remembering grammar rules. B. Taking grammar tests.C. Analyzing grammatical structure. D. Applying language to situations.57. What does the underlined part this way in the fourth paragraph refer to?A. Talking to native speakers when learning. B. Learning English grammar in a complete way.C. Using correct English grammar. D. Learning English grammar 4from a teacher.58. From this passage we learn that _. A. native speakers learn English grammar by listening to stories B. Blaine Rays method gets students to grasp correct grammar unconsciouslyC. Blaine Ray teaches grammar rules by asking students to tell storiesD. its hard for students to speak correct English in the new system59. This passage wants to _. A. criticize the traditional way of learning grammarB. introduce a new way to study English grammar C. ask students to learn English grammar by listening to storiesD. tell us how the native speakers learn English grammar BMary Henrietta Kingsley (1862-1900) was a British explorer and writer who greatly influenced European ideas about Africa and its people. She was born in Islington, London, and her father was a doctor. The family moved to Cambridge in 1886, during which time her father prepared his plentiful collection of notes and translations for publication. However, it came to a sudden end with his death in February 1892. Her mother followed just six weeks later. After her parents death, Kingsley decided to travel to Africa to continue her fathers study of early religion and law and learn as much as possible about the nature of travel and exploration in the wild of Africa. Since 1894, Kingsley had taken two trips to the west coast of Africa. She reached parts of the Great Forest not yet seen by a European. She collected insect, shell, plant, reptile for the British Museum, as well as studying the culture and religion of the residents. In July 1895, Kingsley turned her attention downriver from Lambarn. Shortly after reaching Lake Ncovi, Kingsley had her first encounter with the almost legendary African creature, the gorilla (大猩猩).Kingsley summed up her feelings for the gorilla in her book Travels in West Africa, I have seen many wild animals in their native habitat, but never have I seen anything equal gorillas going through the bush; it is a graceful, powerful, perfect hand-trapeze performance. Curiously though, Kingsley did not find the gorilla attractive, I have no hesitation in saying that the gorilla is the most horrible wild animal I have seen. I have seen specimens of the most important big game of Central Africa and I have run away from all of them; but although elephants, leopards and pythons (巨蟒) give you a feeling of alarm, they do not give that feeling of horrible disgust that an old gorilla gives on account of its ugly appearance.60. Kingsley decided to travel to Africa because she _. A. loved traveling and exploring new placesB. enjoyed the African nature and cultureC. wanted to complete her fathers study and learn more D. lived a hard life in Europe after her parents death61. What did the author mention about Kingsleys family? A. Kingsleys parents died when she was a child.B. They moved from place to place when Kingsley was young.C. What Kingsleys father did had a great influence on her. D. Kingsleys parents were famous doctors.62. In her Travels in West Africa, Kingsley thought the gorilla was_.A. powerful B. alarming C. attractive D. Horrible63. We can infer from the passage that_. A. Africa is an awful place for people to explore and travel toB. Kingsley reached parts of the Great Forest before other EuropeansC. Kingsley got her first knowledge of Africa from her fatherD. Kingsley set a good example to all European people CDining al fresco (户外就餐), better known as eating out in the fresh air, has been a standard operating procedure on much of the planet since the days when al fresco was the only atmosphere available. In more recent centuries, of course, Europeans have developed al fresco dining into an art form with their oh-so-chic (别致的) sidewalk cafes. Fortunately, this pleasant practice is at last very popular in America, and weve finally discovered the joys of outdoor dining. Weve found it fun to just have a bite or a meal in the sun-or-star shine. And we neednt travel to France or to a restaurant to enjoy the experience. Whether its a cup of morning coffee and bread in the yard, lunch around the pool or a candlelight dinner on a card table set up outside, most of us have the means to enjoy open-air dining. The goal of al fresco is pleasure for everyone concerned and that includes the chef. For this reason, the menu needs to be a simple and easily moveable feast. Without keeping one running in and out of the house a million times, a one-dish meal is the best possible choice. Pretty paper tablecloths and plates are a good choice as well, making cleaning as relaxing as your surroundings. So dont hurry unless theres a super-special reason. Now lets begin the outdoor dining in the fragrance of the day or evening, which strengthens the senses and the spirit to have dinner in our natural habitat. If we havent made it simple enough for you, try this: a blanket, a loaf of bread, a bottle of wine.64. The passage is mainly about _. A. the popularity of dining al fresco in AmericaB. dining in the open airC. the goals of al fresco D. the meaning of al fresco65. From the passage, we can learn that al fresco _. A. is in fact a kind of art formB. is popular in Europe and America C. consists of a blanket, some bread and a bottle of wine D. creates a romantic atmosphere to have dinner66. The main purpose of al fresco is to _. A. make a standard and popular dining procedure for everyoneB. get people to enjoy themselves in a natural environmentC. enjoy the experience of dining outside without going to France D. please a chef for a whole day of work67. To have an dining al fresco, one may have to _. a. have a simple and movable menub. keep running in and out of the house to preparec. prepare a paper tablecloth and platesd. prepare a one-dish mealA. abc B. Bcd C. abd D. acd DHeavier people contribute more harmful gases to the planet than thin people because of food production and transportation factors, a study shows. Providing that it takes more energy to carry heavier people, transportation of heavier people requires more fuel, which creates more greenhouse gas emissions(排放). Phil Edwards, a senior lecturer of the school, said, The main message is staying thin. Its good for not only you but the planet. More than 1 billion adults worldwide are overweight, and about 300 million are obese, the study said. People are less active now than they were 30 years ago, and the popularity of fast food has given people more less healthy choices. In terms of environmental impact, the thin population has a much smaller carbon footprint, Edwards said. A population with 40 percent overweight people requires 19 percent more food energy than a population with 3.5 percent fat people. This 19 percent increase in food use translates into an inc
