Lenin and his wife Krupskaya translated a long English book into Russian. But when they went to England in 1902, English people couldn’t understand a word they said and they couldn’t understand what was said to them. These 10‎ ‎ days more and more foreigners are coming to China and more Chinese are going out to foreign countries to work or study. So the spoken language is becoming more and more important.‎ ‎ Speaking, of course, can’t go without listening. If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly. Thy sounds of the Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same. If you don’t listen carefully, you’ll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.‎ ‎ Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it’s to exchange ideas. People generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing. The important thing is to make your idea clear in your head and then to write it in clear lively language.‎ Chinese students read far too slowly. If you read fast, you understand better. If you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about. When you meet with new words, don’t look them up in the dictionary. Guess the meaning from the context. You may not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meaning will become clearer and clearer. If you look up every word, you’ll never finish a book.‎ ‎ Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language they are studying. They should study these subjects in the foreign language, not only in translation. In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.‎ 10‎ ‎1. How many points are there in the passage?‎ A.

In his last point the writer advised us ____________.‎ A. to kill two birds with one stone ‎ B. to learn two languages at a time C. to study all the subjects in a foreign language ‎ D. to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying ‎4. In the fourth paragraph the writer gave some advice on ___________.‎ A. how to read faster ‎ B. how to guess the meaning from the context C. how to look up new words in the dictionary D. how to grasp the general meaning of a passage ‎5. “To kill two birds with one stone” means ___________.‎ A. to get some particular knowledge B. to get more than what one pays C. the stone is too big D. the birds are blind enough ‎ 参考答案1－5 DCDAB 10‎ 第三篇 ‎ February 14th, Valentine’s Day, is a complicated but interesting occasion. First of all, Valentine’s Day is not a holiday from work. No one gets a day off. In many countries it is observed by sending cards to your friends and candy or flowers to your husband or wife if you’re married, or to your boy friend or girl friend if you’re not married. In Japan, some girls even give their fathers chocolates.‎ ‎ Why is this holiday for people in love called Valentine’s Day?‎ ‎ One explanation comes from a Christian man whose name was something like“Valentine”. He lived at a time when the Roman Emperor refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get married for any reason. Many couples came to Valentine to be married. So he would secretly marry them in a Christian ceremony. He was discovered and put in prison by the Emperor. One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out of the window of his prison. The leaves were shaped like a heart. Valentine was killed on February 14th and Valentine’s Day recalls his tragic death.‎ ‎ On Valentine’s Day, American elementary school children make or buy Valentine cards, write the name of a classmate on them, and take them to school and put them in a special Valentine’s Day box. And then on that day the box is opened, the cards are taken out and given out.‎ ‎1. Which of the following is true about Valentine’s Day?‎ A.

Why is red used for traffic lights instead of other colors? ‎ As we know, scattering(散射)happens when light goes through the air. For the same media(媒介), if the wavelength is long, the scattering will be short. If the wavelength is short, the scattering will be long. ‎ Of all lights we can see red has the longest wavelength, so the scattering is the weakest. That means the red travels far. In fact, it travels faster on rainy days. ‎ Using the red light can help drivers in farther areas see the lights. It helps drivers slow down or stop in time. If drivers don’t see the red light until they are close, they may not be able to stop the car in time. An accident may happen. Red can also excite people. We can act more quickly when we see the color red. In a word, red lights help drivers stop in time and help prevent accidents. ‎ 10‎ ‎1.
