  To learn English well you must learn about yourself. You must discover what your own special needs are in English. You should pick out what makes English different from your own language and concentrate(集中)on those parts. And above all, you should pick out your own personal weaknesses in English, pick out your own special problems, find out what mistakes you most often make and make a list of them.

  It will be best if, in your preparation, you can practice doing the various (各种各样的)sorts of work you will be asked to do in examination. You should then make a careful note of any mistakes you make more than once.Count up how many times you make each mistake, and the mistake you make most often should be at the top of your list, the next most common in second place, and so on.

  For example, if your own language is Japanese, you may find the problem of articles comes at the top of your list. If you speak German, you may find using some of the conjunctions is your biggest problem. If you mother tongue is French, you may find you are always having trouble with some prepositions. And if Italian is your language, you may constantly forget to use a suitable pronoun when you should.

  But these are only examples of mistakes typical(典型的)of certain languages. They may or may not be your particular personal mistakes.As I say, these personal ones are the most important of all to discover.

语篇理解

  Books are for reading, but man must bring to their reading a desire to learn and a power of absorbing. Reading should be active, not passive.

  When students first go to a library, they may be at a loss as to what to read of all the different subjects. Well, Bacon tells you to “look at weak places in your armor(盔甲)”, and shows you how to fill up the blanks(空白)in your knowledge. On the other hand ,it is no good just trying to fill your mind with Knowledge. Knowledge in itself is often useless. A mind filled with too much knowledge is like a room too full of furniture; a man cannot walk about freely in it, and look out of the windows. It is much better to concentrate on a few subjects which interest you and to deal lightly with the others than to march heavily through the whole range of learning, like a silly tourist(旅游者)going through a museum and not missing a single object. If you try to master every subject you may become very wise, but you will be very lonely and you will probably lose all your friends. So you must learn to pick and choose , and you must also learn to look here and there in a library like a camel eating grass on the grassland. If you watch it eating, you will see that although he is supposed to be one of the most stupid animals in the world, he has at least one of the qualities of the cultured man, the power to pick and choose. A student looking for mental food in a library should take the camel as his model.

1The writer thinks that one must ______.

[  ]

Aread as many books as he can

Btry to read books on all the different subjects

Conly read books on subjects that interest him

Dread and absorb a lot

2A cultured man is similar(相同)to a camel because ______.

[  ]

Aneither of them is interested in knowledge

Bthe man reads books as much as a camel eats grass

Cneither of them can be considered wise

Dboth of them have the ability to select

3The term “mental food” at the end of the passage refers to ______.

[  ]

Abooks   Bgrassland

Cbrain   Dsubjects

4In the second paragraph the writer mainly discusses ______.

[  ]

Ahow to compare furniture with books

Bhow to select reading materials

Chow to avoid missing anything interesting in the library.

Dwhy books must be absorbed

5The writer thinks that it is ______ to try to master every subject.

[  ]

Anecessary   Bpossible

Cnot good    Dnot interesting

  The old man rested in the sun.He thought of his violin which he loved dearly.He remembered buying it in 1931 from a stranger who needed money.He had paid him 250

  “Uncle Sanchez, a telegram(电报)for you!”a boy shouted.

  Slowly the man opened it.First he smiled,then he laughed.

  “What is it?”the boy asked.

  “From the American who saw my violin at Christmas.”He remembered that the stranger had looked inside the violin as if he were looking for gold.”He says my violin was made by Stradivari.He will buy it for 100000.”

  Sanchez was not the first person to learn that his violin was a treasure(财宝).He is just one of the most recent.Stories like this could be told in different parts of the world.Some of Stradivari’s violins have been carefully protected,others have been harmed by carelessness.

  Today it is thought that Stradivari made violins that are better than any made ever since.Many of the world’s best violinists have chosen Stradivari’s violins.But few now can have a lot of money to collect them.some of the most beautiful are kept in museums.There,they can be seen by everyone or lent to famous artists for concerts.
