English is spoken as a first language by most people in the USA, Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and Canada. However, English is spoken all over the world. It is the main language in over 60 countries, such as India, Singapore and in many of the Caribbean and Pacific islands. In those places English is often a second language.
English is also as an important international language in many other countries, like China and Japan. People in these countries use it for business, and travelers to these countries use English when they get there. Other people may learn English because they enjoy reading books in English, listening to British or American music or watching American films.
English has changed a lot these years and still goes on changing. It is no longer right to talk about British English or American English if the speaker doesn’t come from those countries. People in Japan or Korea, for example, may use the American spelling but may not sound like Americans.
English will be the most widely used language in the world in the 21st century. This language no longer belongs to British, American or Australian speakers. It belongs to anyone who can use this language. After you leave school, you will almost certainly need it.

If you ask some people, “How did you learn English so well?” you may get a surprising answer: “In my sleep!”

These are people who have taken part in one of the recent experiments (实验) to test “the learn while you sleep” method (方法), which is now being tried in several countries, and with several subjects. English is among them.

Scientists say that this sleep study method greatly speeds language learning. They say that the ordinary person can learn two or three times as much during sleep as in the same period during the day—and this does not affect (影响) his rest in any way. However, sleep teaching will only put into your head what you have studied already while you are awake.

In one experiment, ten lessons were broadcast over the radio for two weeks. Each lesson lasted twelve hours — from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first three hours of English grammar and vocabulary (词汇) were given with the students awake. At 11 p.m. a lullaby (催眠曲) was broadcast to send the student to sleep and for the next three hours the radio in a soft and low voice broadcast the lesson again into his sleeping ears. At 2 a.m. a sharp noise was sent over the radio to wake the sleeping student up for a few minutes to go over the lesson. The soft music sent him back to rest again while the radio went on. At 5 o’clock his sleep ended and he had to go through the lesson again for three hours before breakfast.

1.In the experiment, lessons were given____ .

A.in the night time

B.after lullabies were broadcast

C.while the student was awake

D.all through the twelve hours

2.Before each lesson finishes, the student has to____ .

A.get up and take breakfast

B.be woken up by a loud voice

C.listen to the lesson again in sleep

D.review (复习) the lesson by himself

3.The sleep study method is being tried in many countries to teach____ .

A.the English language

B.grammar and vocabulary

C.a number of subjects

D.foreign languages

第二部分阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)

“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you’ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you’re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.

This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought.

Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.

Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.

1.In the writer’s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is ____.

A. to practise speaking, writing and feeling it

B. to forget your own native language

C. to translate everything into his own language

D. to memorize the English words and grammatical rules

2. “Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way.”This sentence means that memorizing your own language can ________.

A. help you to study English well        B. stop you mastering English

C. make English easy to learn                     D. help you notice mistakes

3.Equally important is to feel the language. “to feel the language” here means_____.

A. to get a knowledge of English by touching

B. to be able to read and write English

C. to translate English into your own by imagining

D. to be able to experience the rich sensation of the language

B
