“You speak very good English”
The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English. “You 41 very good English.” But the student answered, “ No, my English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite
42 at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself 43 or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak it very well.” But the Chinese student still 44 saying “No”. 45 the foreigner gave up and didn’t know what to say.
What’s wrong with the student’s answer? It is because he didn’t accept a compliment as the American people 46 . He should have said “Thank you” instead of “No”. He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If someone says to a woman, “ You look 47 beautiful with the new clothes 48 .” she should be very happy and answer, “Thank you.” In our country we think 49 modest is a virtue and showing off is a bad behavior. But in the West, if you are modest and say, “ No, 50 I can’t do it well,” then the others will take it for granted (理所當(dāng)然)that you 51 can not do it. If you often say,“No”, you will certainly be looked down upon by 52 . When 53 for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “ Let me have a try on the job”, he or she can expect to get it. So in the West, one should always be confident. 54 self-confidence, he can’t go anywhere. Confidence is of great 55 to one in a country where competition is quite keen.(激烈)

【解析】短文大意: 這篇短文主要談到了英語交際中的謙虛問題,在西方交際中對于別人的夸獎(jiǎng),贊美等恭維一般是欣然結(jié)構(gòu),并表示感謝,而不是像中國人一樣謙虛幾句。由此也讓我們懂得,在西方社會(huì)自信是多么的重要。
1.動(dòng)詞辨析。tell告訴,講述,強(qiáng)調(diào)一個(gè)人說;say 說,強(qiáng)調(diào)說的內(nèi)容;talk 不及物動(dòng)詞,談話,多和介詞搭配使用;speak演講,發(fā)言,說某種語言。聯(lián)系下文,可知此處指的是你的英語說得不錯(cuò)。故選C。
2.聯(lián)系后一句描述,可知這個(gè)外國人很驚訝,故選B,驚訝的,感到出人意料的。B
3.結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是這個(gè)男孩認(rèn)為對方?jīng)]有明白自己的意思。過去分詞作賓語補(bǔ)足語表示被動(dòng)的動(dòng)作,結(jié)合 語境可知選A。
4.聯(lián)系上下文可知此處指的是,這個(gè)中國學(xué)生仍舊堅(jiān)持說……。結(jié)合語境可知本句描述的是過去發(fā)生的動(dòng)作,故用過去時(shí)態(tài),選D,堅(jiān)持,繼續(xù)。
5.短語辨析。A. 首先,最初; B. 順便說說;C.終于,最后;D. 首先。聯(lián)系前文,可知這個(gè)外國人最后放棄了。故選C。
6.結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是他沒有像美國人那樣接受恭維。結(jié)合語境可知從句中描述的是客觀性動(dòng)作,故用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)。本句主語the American people 表示復(fù)數(shù)含義,故謂語動(dòng)詞用原形。選D。
7.詞義辨析。such是形容詞,修飾名詞,意思是如此的這樣的;so是副詞,修飾形容詞,副詞,意思是如此這樣。連詞下文beautiful ,可知選C,副詞修飾形容詞。
8.介詞辨析。A.為了,對于;B. 在上面;C.在里面;D.進(jìn)入。本句中介詞on用作形容詞,表示衣服穿在身上的意思,故選B。
9.聯(lián)系上下文可知此處指的是,我們認(rèn)為誠實(shí)是一種美德。結(jié)合語境可知本句從句中是動(dòng)名詞做主語,have的基本含義是有,故選A。
10.短語辨析。A.我害怕;B. 我不確定;C.我不介意;D.我不知道。結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是,恐怕我不能做好。故選A。
11.聯(lián)系前文描述,可知此處指的是,他們認(rèn)為你真的不能做好。故選B,真實(shí)地。
12.聯(lián)系上下文,可知此處指的是,你肯定會(huì)被其他人看不起,故選D,其他人。
13.結(jié)合語境可知此處指的是當(dāng)找工作時(shí),現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語表示正在進(jìn)行的伴隨性動(dòng)作,故選A,要求。
14.聯(lián)系下文,可知此處指的是沒有自信,寸步難行。故選B,沒有。
15.聯(lián)系前文描述,可知自信對于一個(gè)來說具有很大的重要性。本句中of是介詞,后面接名詞作賓語,故選D,重要性。

Swimming and English Learning
Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Yes? Well, how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I’m afraid you’ll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It’s the same with the English study. We must practice, practice and practice.
Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. The children in English-speaking countries first listen to others. Then they try to imitate and speak. We can listen to English programs on radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn’t matter. Just be relaxed, try to catch every word.
Somebody may be a good listener. But he dare not speak. He’s afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don’t be afraid. We must be brave(勇敢). If you really want to learn English well, you must try to speak with everyone so long as he knows English. Whether you know him or not is not important when there’s nobody to talk with, you can talk to yourself in English. It’s interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember, the more you speak, the fewer mistakes you’ll make.
Reading and writing are more important for senior school students. First we must choose the books we’re interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is the most important.
Keep writing English diaries. We can also write English articles. You may even post them to English magazines. Don’t be afraid of failure. Failure is the mother of success.
Easier said than done. Well, let’s do more practice from now on. I’m sure you’ll learn English well in this way.
