【题目】If you are like most international students, you are probably pretty comfortable reading and writing in English, but not as comfortable with listening and speaking in the language. 【1】
Make friends with American students. Many international students end up making friends with a lot of—or only—other international students. 【2】Hanging out with natives not only naturally pushes you to improve your spoken English, but also helps you pick up cultural and social information.
Learn from American friends. Tell your American friends that you are trying to improve your listening and speaking skills, and would like them to help you. If you pronounce a word incorrectly, or misuse an idiom, you want them to tell you. 【3】
Increase your knowledge. 【4】 If you have known about the topics that are likely to be discussed in conversation, you have a much better chance of understanding people when they talk, and of being able to express yourself well.
【5】 If you have to explain something to someone, you have a strong desire to pronounce everything as well as you can, and find other ways to explain yourself. Finally, this becomes a good habit. Many people have asked me how I learned to speak English fluently, and I think it is because of my being a math teacher in college for years.
A. I don't think this is a good idea.
B. You will learn much faster this way.
C. If possible, become a teacher at your school.
D. It's a win-win opportunity for international students.
E. Read books, keep up with news and watch popular shows and movies.
F. It's a good way to make some extra cash while improving your English.
G. Below are some tips to help you to improve your conversational skills.
【答案】
【1】G
【2】A
【3】B
【4】E
【5】C
【解析】试题分析：文章介绍了作为一个国际生，有许多方法来提升英语交流技能。
【1】G结构题，这篇文章脉络清晰，开篇提出问题，接着就列举了很多方法，因此要使用一个过渡句来连接上下文，即G。
【2】A推断题，根据前文Many international students end up making friends with a lot of — or only — other international students.许多国际生不和其他国家的学生交朋友。然而我不同意这一点。故选A。
【3】B细节题，这一段的方法就是从美国朋友身上学英语。具体介绍了一些朋友帮助的方法，总结就是在朋友的帮助下学得会更快。
【4】E逻辑题，这一段是增长知识，空格后面是讲对对话中会讨论的主题的理解能帮助你更好的理解他人和表达自己。因此39空选择多读书，多看新闻和电影，增长知识。即选择B。
【5】C总结题，由句尾我英语流畅的原因是我在一所学校当数学老师，可知这一段提出的方法是可能的话就在你的学校当老师，故选C。

【题目】Is it your dream to fly and to work in space? Do you want to be a NASA astronaut? Like many jobs, the first thing would be to fill out the application. A record-breaking 18,300 people filled out applications recently when NASA announced it was filling its 2017 Astronaut Candidate program. But out of those 18.300 applicants, just eight to 14 will be hired by the U.S. space agency.
It will take 18 months to decide who will be in the new class of astronauts. NASA will review all of the files, which will later go to its current team of astronauts, to make sure they meet the basic qualifications.
The first requirement is the applicants must be U.S. citizens. They need a college degree in engineering, biological science, physical science, computer science, or mathematics. They also need at least three years of experience in a similar field or at least 1,000 hours as a jet airline pilot.
There are requirements to pass a physical test. And then there are personality qualities tests as well. What kinds of personalities is NASA looking for in an astronaut? NASA’s Selection Manager Anne Roemer said, “I think leadership , teamwork, the ability to not only work on a team, lead a team, but also follow, be a follower on a team. Communication certainly plays a role, so it’s some pretty common skills that I think translate into even other professions.”
About 120 applicants will be invited to the Johnson Space Centre in Houston, Texas, for a first round of interviews, about half of whom will go back for a second round. Once selected, they must complete two years of training in everything about spaceflight-things like learning about all the systems used by NASA, walking in space and Russian language training. Until the U.S. has a working vehicle to launch into space, NASA still depends on Russia to get astronauts into space.
【1】What is the percentage of employment among the applicants?
A. About half of them B. About 8 to 14
C. About 120 applicants D. Less than 0.08 percent
【2】Which do you think is the most important personality quality according to NASA’S Selection Manager?
A. Devotion B. Team spirit
C. Communication D. Perseverance
【3】Which is NOT the basic requirement the applicants have to meet?
A. A college degree in required areas.
B. Related experience.
C. Speaking Russian fluently.
D. Passing physical and personality tests.
【4】Which may be the best title for the passage?
A. What is takes to be an astronaut?
B. What an astronaut should train in?
C. NASA welcome its most applicants ever.
D. NASA 2017 Astronaut Candidate program.

【题目】My daughter went to see The Wild One recently and she commented that Marlon Brando was wearing jeans so long ago. Of course he helped set the trend, so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion. Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long. The Wild One is a good example: it appeared in 1954, starring Brando. Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket, leather cap and jeans, he created a look which is still considered “cool” today. Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.
Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn. She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffany’s with a pastry and coffee in your hand, as Audrey Hepburn does in the film. She looks so elegant, wearing simple but beautiful dresses, big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck. Audrey Hepburn still influences women’s fashion with her “Tiffany’s look”.
In more modem times, the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction, made in 1994. Her style was very simple. Her black trousers, crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world.
Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion. It starred the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who wore beautiful silk kimonos (和服), and it won an Oscar for Costume Design. Many travel companies picked up on the trend and ran “geisha trips” to Japan. The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos. It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is also beginning to spread to Western countries.
【1】What is the best title of the passage?
A. Films and fashion. B. Stars’ fashion.
C. Influential films. D. Film cultures.
【2】Who will people associate Madonna wearing the leather motorcycle jacket with?
A. Zhang Ziyi. B. Audrey Hepburn.
C. Uma Thurman. D. Marlon Brando.
【3】What is implied in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s according to the passage?
A. One can be active by wearing black.
B. One can be elegant by dressing simply.
C. One can be famous by looking perfect.
D. One can be stylish by eating at Tiffany’s.
【4】What does the film Memoirs of a Geisha lead to?
A. The popularity of the Chinese actress.
B. The worldwide reading of Geisha stories.
C. The recovery of interest in kimonos.
D. The “geisha trips” to social events.

【题目】Safety is a huge concern whenever I run with my earphones in. But I need music to run. Otherwise all I hear is the sound of my own breathing. So I’ve found a compromise: I run with only one earphone in. The music sounds off. It’s an imperfect solution.
An updated pair of headphones, called AfterShokz, aim to do better. AfterShokz bills itself as using bone conducting technology to conduct music from the front of the ear, delivering sound through your cheekbone and inner ear. This keeps your eardrum (鼓膜) free to hear everything else.
“Earbuds (耳塞式耳机) are typically designed to block out all sound, which is fine when you’re inside. But when you’re outside, you need all your senses. It would be like sending you out cycling with a blindfold on,” says Rod Annet, managing director of AfterShokz.
Here’s where AfterShokz comes in. The headphones hook over the back of your head with the main “bud” resting high up against your cheek. This keeps your ear free to delight in other sounds.
So do they work? In a word, yes. During a 45-minute jog, they didn’t bounce or shift. I heard far more of my environment than I normally do: a nearby bike there; a runner passing me again to my left; and so forth.
What about the downsides? If you’re a huge fan of high-quality sound, you might find the headphones a bit tinny. One friend expressed concerns about missing the ability to get lost in the music as you might be distracted by other noises, although I personally didn’t find that an issue.
Yet those are all minor details. For me, probably the biggest problem is the price. Ranging between 49.96 to 83.29, AfterShokz headphones aren’t exactly cheap.
With all that considered, would I recommend them? Yes. AfterShokz headphones are quite useful. While out jogging, they were light, painless, and easy to use. They made me feel safer.
【1】What is special about AfterShokz headphones?
A. They are a good choice for inside use.
B. They allow users to hear other sounds.
C. They can make music sound more beautiful.
D. They can deliver sound through your eardrum.
【2】What does the author’s friend think of AfterShokz headphones?
A. They prevent users getting lost.
B. They deliver high—quality sound.
C. They often move while users are running.
D. They fail to allow users to enjoy the music.
【3】The author thinks AfterShokz headphones .
A. are too expensive B. seem quite useless
C. make users feel pain D. are too complex to use
【4】What is the main purpose of the text?
A. To express worries. B. To introduce a product.
C. To share a personal story. D. To complain about a product.

【题目】Londoners are great readers.They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books－especially paperbacks，which are still comparatively cheap in spite of everincreasing rises in the costs of printing.They still continue to buy “proper”books，too，printed on good paper and bound(装订)between hard covers.
There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in bookselling.Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London.Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found，from the celebrated one which boasts of being “the biggest bookshop in the world”to the tiny，dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time.Some of these shops stock，or will obtain，any kind of books，but many of them specialize in secondhand books，in art books，in foreign books，in books on philosophy，politics or any other of the countless subjects about which books may be written.One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet!
Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books，Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest.For the really cheap secondhand books，the collector must venture off the beaten track，to Farringdon Road，for example，in the East Central district of London.Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops.The booksellers come along each morning and pour out their sacks of books onto small handcarts.And the collectors，some professionals and some amateurs，have been waiting for them.In places like this they can still，occasionally，pick up for a few pence an old one that may be worth many pounds.
