Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly, with confidence and without hesitation. Thirdly, we must be able to read the language and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to compose（组成）sentences that are grammatically correct. We must know how to arrange sentences in paragraphs, so as to write a good letter or composition.There is no easy way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is of great help, but it is not enough simply to memorize rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meaning. We learn words not by ourselves, but in sentences. We must learn by using the language. “Learn through use” is a good piece of advice for those who are studying a new language. Practice is very important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can. （1）The word “confidence” here probably means _.A . useB . eyesC . needD . feeling sure of ourselves（2）The writer advises us to _.A . speak more and write moreB . read moreC . speak moreD . use a dictionary（3）The first step in learning a language is _.A . readingB . speakingC . writingD . listening（4）Words should be learned _.A . from a dictionaryB . from a textbookC . in sentencesD . from a good grammar book（5）“Learn through use “is to say that _.A . we must practise speaking and writingB . we must learn by using the languageC . we must learn everything by languageD . we must remember grammar rules as many as possible20. （8分）阅读理解 We can easily and cheaply get all the wisdom of the ages, all the stories that have delighted(使快乐) mankind for centuries, but we must know how to use this treasure and how to get the most from it. The most unfortunate people all over the world are those who have never discovered how satisfying it is to read good books.I am very interested in people, in meeting them and finding about them. Ive found in books new friends, new societies, and new words. Reading is a pleasure of mind. It is a little like a sport: Your eagerness for knowledge and quickness make you a good reader. Your experience, compared with his, brings you to the same or different conclusions, and your ideas develop as you understand his.Every book stands by itself, like a one-family house, but books in a library are like houses in a city. Wherever you start reading you connect yourself with one of the families of ideas, and finally you not only find out about the world and the people in it, you find out about yourself, too.Reading can only be fun if you expect it to be. If you concentrate on books somebody tells you you ought to read, you probably wont have fun. But if you put down a book you dont like and try another till you find one that means something to you, and then relax with it, you will almost certainly have a good time, and if you become, as a result of reading, better, wiser, kinder, or more gentle, you wont have suffered during the process.（1）Which is WRONG according to the passage? A . Reading can find new friends.B . Reading is fun.C . Reading is a little like a sport.D . While reading youll have no imagination.（2）Whats the result of reading? A . Wiser.B . Kinder.C . More gentle.D . All of the above.（3）What does the underlined word process mean in Chinese? A . 过程B . 作用C . 手续D . 工序（4）Why does the author say books are connected with each other? A . They have the same idea.B . They have the same writer.C . Peoples problems are the same.D . Human problems repeat themselves in literature.四、 词汇应用。根据句子意思,用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当 (共10题；共31分)21. （1分）You need to answer all the questions right before you open the _ (宝藏) box, Jane. 22. （5分）根据英文释义或首字母提示写出单词。（1）The earth is one of the p_in the solar system.（2）His grandfather has high blood p_.（3）The government plans to c_more jobs for young people.（4）_the red liquid (液体)that flows through the bodies of humans and animals.（5）_a kind of hard black mineral(矿物)that is found below the ground and used to produce energy.23. （9分）根据句意，用括号内所给提示完成句子。（1）As is known to all, English is the most _(广泛地) used around the world.（2）I advise you to speak to _(外国人) to practice your oral English.（3）Is Mickey Mouse your favorite _k:tu:n character?（4）We must try our best to protect our planet_ _ _(从现在开始).（5）Our team won the football match and we _ _ _(对满意) the result.24. （1分）Can the boy ride a _(摩托车)?-Yes, he can.25. （10分）根据短文内容和首字母提示，填写所缺单词。 Teachers help us so much.
