II、完形填空

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

It’s believed that intelligent people are better at learning languages. Most language learning skills, __51__, are habits, which can be formed through a bit of discipline and self-awareness. But, some of them are not good enough. Here are the three most common __52__ language learners make and how to correct them.

Not listening enough

There’s a school of language-teaching experts that believe language learning __53__ a “silent period”. Just as babies learn to produce language by hearing and parroting sounds, language learners need to practise listening in order to learn. This can develop learned vocabulary and structures, and help learners see patterns in language.

Listening is the communicative skill we use most in daily life, but it can be __54__ to practise unless you live in a foreign country or attend language classes. The solution? Find music, podcasts, TV shows and movies in the __55__ language, and listen, listen, listen, as often as possible.

A single method

Some learners are most comfortable with the listen-and-repeat drills of a language lab. Some need a grammar textbook to __56__ a foreign tongue. Each of these approaches is fine, but it’s a mistake to rely on only one. Language learners who use __57__ methods get to practise different skills and see concepts explained in different ways. What’s more, the __58__ can keep them from working in a situation that never changes. When choosing a class, learners should seek a course that __59__ the four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking). For self-study, try a __60__ of textbooks, audio lessons, and language learning apps.

__61__

It doesn’t matter how well a person can write in foreign script, or finish a vocabulary test. To learn, improve, and truly use our language, we need to speak. This is the stage when language students should calm down, and feelings of __62__ or insecurity hinder (阻碍) all their hard work. In Eastern cultures where saving face is a strong social value, EFL teachers often complain that students, despite years of studying English, simply will not speak it. They’re too __63__ making mistakes of the grammar or mispronouncing words in a way that would __64__ them.

The key is that those mistakes help language learners by showing them the limits of language, and correcting errors __65__ they become deep-rooted. The more learners speak and practise, the more quickly they improve.

51. A. however  B. moreover   C. furthermore  D. therefore

III、阅读理解

A

Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.

However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.

Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become rally good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

53. In Paragraph 2, the underlined word that refers to__________.

A. being good at something                 B. setting a practical goal   

C. putting in more time                    D. succeeding in life

54. Successful people suggest doing what one loves because_____________.

A. work makes one feel pain       B. one tends to enjoy his work  

C. one gives up his work easily         D. it takes a lot of time to succeed

55. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?

A. Successful people like to show their great skills.     

B. People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.   

C. People need to achieve success at the cost of life.    

D. It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.

Eyesight（视力） plays an important part in our daily life. Every waking moment, the eyes are working to see the world around us.

I. Schedule yearly exams.

    3   . Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20 rude: ecery 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.

IV. Eat your green.

As part of a healthy diet, eat more fruits and vegetables each day. Vitamins C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health.

V. Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses（隐形眼镜）.

Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight. While some follow the medical guidance for wearing lenses, many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk.     4    . Otherwise, you may have problems such as red eyes, pain in the eyes, or a more serious condition.

VI、作文

One possible version:

Dear Peter,

I’m sorry to hear that you have decided to leave home because of your conflict with your parents.

I think it’s unwise to make such a decision. Addicted to playing online games, you are not only wasting your valuable time but also hurting the feelings of your parents. Judging from your last letter, your parents are living a simple life to save every penny for your future. Therefore, wouldn’t it be reasonable for you to respect them, have a talk with them and apologize? 

Meanwhile, you should manage your time more wisely and find some meaningful ways to spend your free time, such as playing sports with your friends, learning a new language, etc.

I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua
