English is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. Immigrants(移民) coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language, which have kept their original pronunciation. “Coolie” and “kowtow” were taken from the Chinese language, “kamikaze from the Japanese, “shampoo” from India, “blitz” from German, “amigo” and “Los Angeles” from Spanish and so on.

Many students have studied English for years, some as many as eight. However, some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English. Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them. In our Oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native English speakers. For this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) English, we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes. Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine(罚款) in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. It is everyone’s job to enforce the English-Only rule. It is for your benefit. It is because we want to accustom (使习惯于) your ears to hearing English.

Other subjects may be learned only from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT! Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun, so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out. Enjoy your classes.

1.The first paragraph is mainly about________.

A. the difficulty of learning English.

B. different words in different languages

C. how interesting and various English is

D. the immigrants’ contributions to America

2. The underlined word “discern” in Para 2 can be replaced by___________.

A. notice B. understand

C. hear D. speak

3. In the author’s opinion, the only way to learn a language well is to__________.

A. listen to it on the radio

B. learn it from books

C. play games with it

D. speak it often

4.The article is probably aimed at________.

A. Japanese students B. German students

C. Chinese students D. Indian students

1.C

2.B

3.D

4.C

【解析】

试题分析:这是一篇科教类阅读。英语是一门非常有趣的语言,它借用了很多其他语言的词汇。很多学生学英语多年仍不能流利的去说。其实学好一门外语的唯一方法就是“大胆地说”。1:从第一段的前两句话“English is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. ”可找到答案,因此选B。

小题2:“discern”这个词的意思为“仔细识别,明白”。根据句意中一些人知道很多词而不明白它们的意思,可得知答案选A。

小题3:从最后一句话中“but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT!”可得知答案选D。

小题4:通过第二段中“Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. ”可知任何人在课上说汉语就会被要求罚款,推断出学英语的是中国学生,他们稍不注意就会把母语说出来。因此答案选C。

How to keep healthy? It's easy for us to catch a cold in winter and spring because the weather changes a lot in spring and it is too cold in winter. But if we take care in our life, all of us can keep healthy without any cold.

1. This will stop germs passing from one person to another. When you finish your work or before you eat, you'd better wash your hands. 2. Use a tissue, and then throw it into dustbins at once.

Come on! All of us are cutting math. Who wants to take that quiz? We’re going to take a walk and get lunch instead. Let’s go!” says the coolest kid in your class. Do you do what you know is right and go to math class, take the quiz? Or do you give in and go with them?

People who are at your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence you how to act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure. It’s something everyone has to deal with—even adults.

Peers influence your life, even if you don’t realize it, just by spending time with you. You learn from them, and they learn from you. It’s only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.

Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system. Or you got others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone is reading it. Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them.

It’s difficult to say “no” to peer pressure, but you can do it. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.

It can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who is willing to say “no” too. If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust, a parent, or a teacher. They can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.

1.With his words in the first paragraph, the kid is ________.

A. planning some interesting activities after school

B. talking about a dinner party

C. asking other kids to take a quiz with him

D. encouraging other kids to cut a class

2.According to the author, _________.

A. peer pressure does kids more harm than good

B. math is the most difficult subject for most kids

C. kids today are under greater pressure than before

D. peer pressure exists among people of all age groups

3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. Peer pressure. B. Your time.

C. Your life. D. Human nature.

4.It’s suggested in the last paragraph that the readers _______.

A. make more close friends while at school

B. learn to refuse their friends in a polite way

C. get support from someone else if it’s necessary

D. build closer relations with their parents and teachers

5.What’s the best title for the text?
