    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    Some 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, they’ll 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. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters--sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.

    　　In addition, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. 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 he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.

    　　Last but not least, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.

    1. Which of the following is NOT the reason why good talkers ask questions?

    A．To get the conversation going smoothly.

    B．To continue the conversation with other matters.

    C．To make more new friends.

    D．To know how far the conversation can go.

    2. How many skills does the author give us to be good talkers?

    A．Three.            B．Four.             C．Five.             D．Six.

    3. In general, good talkers are persons who __________.

    A．can keep the conversation interesting

    B．never talk too much or too little

    C．always keep the conversation a secret

    D．can change the topic of the conversation properly

    4. If you are willing to meet someone again, __________.

    A．you’d better let him know it

    B．you’d better shake his hand firmly

    C．you’d better keep it a secret

    D．you’d better understand him further

    　　American and British people both speak English of course．But sometimes it does not seem like the same language．In fact, there are some important differences between British English and American English．

    　　First of all, they sound very different．Often, Americans don’t say each word separately．They say several words together．Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know”．Or they may say “Whaddya say?” instead of “What did you say?” However, the British are more careful in their speech．They usually say all the words and keep them separate．

    　　Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English．Words sometimes have different meanings too．Some American words are never used in England．The same thing is true of some British words in America．For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different．Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries．

    　　Many expressions are also different in the two countries．In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you “phone them up”．In America, you “give them a call”．When you are saying goodbye in England you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later．”

    　　There’re also some differences in grammar．For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question．They say “Do you have a storybook?” But the British often leave out the helping verb．They say “Have you a storybook?”

    　　All these differences can be confusing if you are learning English．But most languages are like this．Languages change over time．When people live in separate places, the languages change in different ways．This is what has happened to English．It can also happen to other languages, such as French．Many people in Canada speak French but their French is very different from the French of France．

    The results of the US/NATO bombing Yugoslavia are to be judged by history. I shall not be the one to do this. But being in the center of actual events that are creating that history, I cannot stay away from what is going on in my country.

    　　First of all, the main aim of the bombing was to prevent a human suffering in Kosovo. Today, after many days of frequent bombing, that aim is more distant than before. The bombing only brought tens of thousands of people running away from their homes, not to mention the large number of the death and injury, buildings and factories. Suppose that the US/NATO really had a wish to prevent the human suffering, they should realize by now how wrong they were when they thought the bombing would solve the problem.

    　　So, what’s left? Back off or ground troops? But who is going to join the ground troops? It would take at least 200,000 armed soldiers, not the 20,000 that the US/NATO have prepared in Macedonia. It should also be clear that the Serbs(塞族人) will not give up on Kosovo.

    　　I live under continuous bombing for more than a week now, and it doesn’t frighten me anymore. I don’t turn to the shelter at the sound of warning. It’s the thought of ground troops that frightens me. Vietnam would seem like a picnic compared to a bloodshed(流血事件) in Kosovo if the ground troops appear. Is that what the US/NATO wants?

    72. Which of the following statements is true?

    　　A. The US/NATO really intends to stop the human suffering.

    　　B. The result of the war will be judged by people in Kosovo.

    　　C. The bombing made tens of thousands of people homeless.

    　　D. The continuous bombing will make the Serbs give up on Kosovo.

    73. The writer is _____.

    　　A. an American reporter 　　　  B. a Chinese reporter

    　　C. a Macedonian　　　　　　　 D. a Yugoslavian

    74. What worries the writer most?

    　　A. The continuous bombing. 　　　　　B. The coming of the ground troops.

    　　C. The sound of bomb warning.　　　　D. The idea of ground troops.

    75. What is the writer’s attitude towards the bombing in Kosovo?

    　　A. It is the US/NATO’s duty to defend Kosovo.

    　　B. It is wrong to solve the problem by bombing Kosovo.

    　　C. The aim of bombing Kosovo is to stop a human suffering.

    　　D. The bombing can solve the problem of Kosovo.

    　　Some people seem to have a knack (诀窍) for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary,master roles of grammar,and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any cleverer than others,so what makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners,we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.

    　　First of all,successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher;they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain,they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues (线索) and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong,they guess again. They try to learn form their mistakes. Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore,successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language;they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things;they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult,they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.

    　　Finally successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practise using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.

    　　What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner,you have probably been learning independently,actively,and purposefully. On the other hand,if your language learning has been less than successful,you might do well to try some of the techniques discussed above.

    (1)If you want to be a successful language learner,you should ________.

    [　　]

    A. be cleverer than others

    B. learn the language independently,actively,and purposefully

    C. master the rules of grammar

    D. remember the meaning of every word

    (2)Independent language learning means ________.

    [　　]

    A. one cannot learn a language well without a teacher

    B. one should try not to make any mistakes

    C. one should try to understand for himself what he is learning

    D. one should ask his teacher to explain the difficult points

    (3)An active language learner is one who ________.

    [　　]

    A. makes use of any chance to practise the language

    B. tries to accept as much information as he can

    C. thinks it more important to know the meaning of every word

    D. is waiting for difficult communication with others

    (4)The last sentence of the passage suggests that ________.

    [　　]

    A. unsuccessful language learners should try the techniques of successful language learners

    B. less successful language learners try to use successful language learning techniques

    C. there are different techniques for language learners to try

    D. less successful language learning is the result of using these techniques

    (5)The author writes this article to

    [　　]

    A. answer some questions about language learning

    B. explain why language learning is difficult

    C. tell us which language learning technique is more helpful

    D. encourage language learners to use these techniques
