Improving spoken English is a matter of practice and right guidance.For improving your communication skills, you should first of all be comfortable with grammar. Many people think learning grammar is very boring, but grammar is useful for getting a good hold of what you speak. So if you are weak in grammar, I suggest that you go and get a grammar book. Dont worry if you cant remember everything. No one can remember everything in grammar. Just get a good hold of it. That should be enough for the basic preparation.Talk with people around you in English. Try to talk as much as possible with your classmates or teachers in English. This will help you get self-confidence(自信). Break down all barriers that stop you from doing so. Make good friends, and talk with them in English.If possible, join an English class. This is often helpful as the teachers drive you for good communication skills. Whats more, you get on well with your classmates. You can talk freely and have no feeling of shame, and the learning process is very fast.Reading English also helps, as you get used to different English words and your grammar gets improved. Get a proper English book to start reading. A novel in English is also helpful, but novels may have many slang words(俚语词),which might have a bad influence on your grammar. But anyway, I suggest going for it. In this world there is nothing free, and if you are learning something, then you have to accept the disadvantages of it.26 . According to Paragraph 2, what should we do if we want to improve our communication skills?ALearn English grammar well.BSpeak English as often as possible.CGet a lot of practice and right guidance.DRemember everything important in English.27 . The underlined word “barriers” means “_” in Chinese.A信息B方法C经历D障碍28 . Why should we try to read an English novel?ABecause it is written in good grammar.BBecause we can learn something useful from it.CBecause it can help us have good friends to talk with.DBecause we can learn many slang words from it.29 . The passage mainly tells us_.Awhy we should learn EnglishBhow to learn English grammarChow to improve spoken EnglishDwhy we should buy an English bookThe Windy DayBook report By Jason MaTitle(标题): The Windy DayWriter: Alisha WoodThe reason for my choice:The idea of a recent popular film comes from Alisha Woods stories. The story interests me.Summary of the book:It is about what happens to a little boy called Daniel on a windy day. One day, Daniel is flying his kite on Peace Hill. Suddenly, a strong wind blows up the hill and lifts Daniel right off his feet. Daniel holds on to his kite tightly(紧紧地) and is blown into the clouds. Finally, he lands in a small town with a sign, “Nowhere: The Town Nobodys Ever Heard Of”. This worries Daniel.He asks people around where Nowhere is. But all of them say, “Nowhere. Nobody knows.” He tries hard to find out the way home but he cannot. It is like an adventure(冒险) until(直到为止) he meets the King. Daniel talks to him and he decides to help Daniel. He claps his hands twice. A great wind comes up and pulls the kite, along with Daniel, into the clouds and back to Peace Hill. Comment(评论):The story is so amazing that I cant stop reading it. I admire(钦佩) Daniel because he is such a brave boy who tries hard to solve the problems in a strange place.30 .

Still, they are very intelligent. Scientists at Queen Mary University of London did an experiment with bees. It shows that bees can learn something new to gain reward(奖励). Then they can teach other bees to do the same. And thats not all they can do. Olli Luokola was one of the scientists who worded on the study. He said that the bees did not just copy what they saw. They actually improved on what they were learning. “This is of course amazing for small-brained insects,” he said. He added that it is even harder for humans to improve on something they learned by copying others.For the experiment, the bees had to move a yellow ball into the center of a platform(平台). First, the scientists showed the bees how to do it. When the ball got into the center, the scientists added sugar water to reward the subjects. The bees learned that the rewards came when the ball was put in the right place. They got better and better at moving the balls. Then, they got more of the reward. After a while, they began to move the balls by themselves.The scientists tried something else. They put the trained bees on a platform with bees that were not trained. After watching the trained bees once, the untrained bees learned how to do it too. They didnt just copy the behavior, though. The new bees also improved on the action；They chose balls closer to themselves. All brains-in people and people-have neurons(神经元) let you think. Scientist Reese Halter says bees are “highly intelligent creatures,” even though they have far fewer neutrons than humans. Halter explained that bees talk to each other with their bodies, but not like what we do. They use their bodies instead of words. They butt heads, bump into each other and they even dance. Luokola said scientists used to think that the smaller the brain, the less intelligent the animal! But this study proves(证明)that is not true.35 . The word “experiment” in the passage is most probably _.Aa medical programBa scientific testCan animal storyDa biology expert36 . According to paragraph 1, which of the following is TRUE about study?AIt helps humans to get better at something by copying.BIt teaches bees to copy what they saw and do the same.CIt shows bees can learn something new to gain a reward.DIt trains the bees how to move a ball to the right place.37 . Paragraph 2 mainly talks about_.Awhat kind of balls bees movedBwhy scientists help bees to get a rewardCwhere bees moved the ballsDhow bees are trained to move the balls38 . From paragraph 3, we can learn that scientists_.Ahave always believed that bees are highly intelligentBexplain that bees talk to each other in body languagesChave questioned whether the studys results are correctedDexplain that bees are unable to learn from one another39 . What is the main idea of this passage?ABees are very intelligent insects though they have tiny brains.BBees can talk by bumping into one another and even dancing.CBees can copy a behavior they see but hardly improve upon it.DBees are smart enough to get a reward without moving a ball.五、阅读判断Peter lived in a village. He was sad recently because he thought that he had nothing left. One day，Peter went to ask a wise man for help. He said to the wise man，I have nothing left，so I dont want to live. ”The wise man smiled sympathetically（同情地）. The wise man took out a piece of paper and drew a straight line down the middle. He explained that he would write down the things Peter had lost on the left side and the things Peter still had on the right side. The wise man asked，“When did your family leave you？”“What do you mean？They havent left me. They love me！”“Thats great！said the wise man. Then that will be the first thing on the right side-Family havent left. Now，do you have freedom（自由）？”“Thats a silly question. Of course I do！”“Good！Thats the second one on the right side-You have freedom！said the wise man，writing it down.
