Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” 【1】 I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 【2】 However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.【3】 Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across. But to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter. 【4】The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主動(dòng)的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 【5】

A. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.

B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.

C. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.

D. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!

E. The second reason lies in the reluctance (不愿) of using what has just been learned.

F. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

G. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

【解析】試題分析：本文主要告訴我們中國(guó)學(xué)生的英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)很差，分析了原因并提出了四個(gè)有效的建議。

【1】D 根據(jù)橫線后一句I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.我想給他們一些關(guān)于口語(yǔ)方面的建議。說(shuō)明我在鼓勵(lì)他們解決口語(yǔ)的問(wèn)題，選項(xiàng)中只有D項(xiàng)“However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!然而他們的口語(yǔ)不必總是那么糟糕”是對(duì)學(xué)生們的建議。

【2】C 根據(jù)橫線前一句First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.說(shuō)明他們無(wú)法表達(dá)自己的意思主要是因?yàn)樗麄兊脑~匯量太少。那么要解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題只有靠擴(kuò)大詞匯量。所以C項(xiàng)“Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.”恰好與上一句相一致。

【3】A 根據(jù)第二段第一句First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary可知第二段闡述第一個(gè)原因，那么本段闡述第二個(gè)原因。根據(jù)第四段第一句The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening這是第三個(gè)原因。說(shuō)明本段解釋第二個(gè)原因，故A項(xiàng)“Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.”與上下文一致。

【4】F 根據(jù)前句But to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter.告訴我們?cè)诤蛣e人用英語(yǔ)交流的時(shí)候，即使用錯(cuò)了單詞時(shí)態(tài)，也沒(méi)有關(guān)系。只要?jiǎng)e人能夠理解我的意思即可。這和本段的主題“不要害怕犯錯(cuò)”相一致。

【5】G 根據(jù)本段第一句Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主動(dòng)的) language learners.說(shuō)明中國(guó)人學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)時(shí)不夠主動(dòng)。如果我們能夠更加主動(dòng)一點(diǎn)，我們會(huì)得到更多練習(xí)英語(yǔ)的機(jī)會(huì)。故G項(xiàng)與本段主題一致。
