The following ways might help improve their listening ability.First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.Secondly, stick to one course of study. Dont change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “fashionable”.Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in some special English programs, such as V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.21. This is a piece of advice to learners of English on how to _. A. improve their listening ability B. read fast C. write better English and read faster D. speak correctly22. If you want to understand the English news program on the radio, you should_. A. read the Chinese language newspaper step by step B. read again and again the Chinese language newspaper C. go through the Chinese language newspaper first D. be able to recite the Chinese language newspaper23. The author advised that once you have taken up a course, you _. A. should stick to it. B. should begin with the last book C. should take up other courses if they are more fashionable D. shouldnt do anything else24. In this passage, V.O.A. stands for_. A. a bookB. a magazine C. a text-bookD. a radio station BSome people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves. How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, theyll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. Its a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matterssometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isnt. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that hes really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, its time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If youre saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “Ive really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, dont keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if theyve known you half their life.25. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _.A. for you to make more and more old friendsB. to begin your political talksC. to get the conversation going smoothlyD. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on your teachers.26. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who _.A. are good at making any topic interestingB. never talk too much or too littleC. always speak in a rude wayD. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk27. If you really want to meet someone again, _.A. you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friendB. it seems necessary for you to let him know itC. its proper for you to give him some gifts.D. itll be helpful for him to have further understanding of you.28. If you are a good talker, you _A. always change the subject of your conversation.B. always ask personal questions.C. always listen to othersD. know when to change the subject. CWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mothers Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously , did not give her good service ,pretended not to understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her .My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent((青春期的) voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan.” And my mother was standing beside me , whispering loudly, “Why he dont send me check already two week late.”And then , in perfect English I said : “Im getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasnt arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I cant tolerate any more excuse. If I dont receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English. When I was a teenager, my mothers broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mothers English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.29Why was the authors mother poorly served?A. She was unable to speak good English. B. She often misunderstood others .C. She was not clearly heard. D. She was not very polite.30. From Paragraph 2, we know that the author was .A. good at pretending B. very rude to the stockbrokerC. not good at English D. unwilling to phone for her mother31. After the author made the phone call, .A. they forgave the stockbrokerB. they failed to get the checkC. they went to New York immediatelyD. they spoke to their boss at once32. What does the author think of her mothers English now?A. It confuses her.B. It makes her love to tell lies.C. It helps her understand the world.D. It makes her to be rude to people.DAs late as 1800, womens only place was in the home. The idea of woman in the business world was unthinkable. Men were certain that no woman could do a good job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea that when the well-known Bronte sisters began writing books in 1864, they had to sign their books with mens names instead.Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to accept women.Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Nightingale became famous. Seeing that she was not only a nurse but also a rich and well-educated woman, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened Englands first training school for nurse in 1860.The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that women could work in the business world had been accepted.33. Why couldnt women become teachers easily? Because_A. the first profession open to them was writing.B.most schools and colleges were open only to men.C.they wanted to be nurses instead.D.they had to work in the hospital.34. The article is mainly about _.A. women are in the business worldB.the famous Bronte sistersC.schools and colleges in AmericaD.political rights for American women35. Which fact does the article lead you to believe?A.The Bronte sisters thought that they were men.B.Englands first training school for nurses was in Ohio.C.There are more men than women in professional jobs.D.Women find it necessary to work harder than before 第二节 七选五(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)命题人:聂福玲 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。Kids health:Four steps for fighting stressEverybody gets stressed from time to time._36_Some ways of dealing with stresslike screaming or hitting someonedont solve much.
