Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.”
I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.
However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense , but it doesn't matter.
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening . You have one mouth but two ears !All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking .
Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.
A. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for nay mistakes he hears.
B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.
C. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.
D. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
E. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!
F. Second , they are afraid of making mistakes.
G. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.

【答案】E；C；F；A；D
【解析】本文是一篇议论文。讲述的是在中国学生口语差的四点原因。学生口语差和学生有限的单词量，害怕出错，没有集中注意力聆听和大部分的学生处于被动的状态有关。
（1）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。我希望阐述一些中国的学生的口语不好的原因。找到原因后及时纠正，学生的口语就能得到完善。故选E。
（2）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.”学生难以采用合适的单词表达自己，原因是他们的单词量有限。那么，最佳方法就是扩大单词量。故选C。
（3）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.”学生由于过于害羞或紧张可能会犯错。本段讲述的是学生会害怕犯错。应选F。
（4）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense , but it doesn't matter.”如果你想和别人用英语交谈，那么最好的方法就是尽可能快地流利的说英语，不要在意口语中出现的小错误。故选A。
（5）考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.”大部分的学生都是被动的，而不是积极主动的寻找机会说英语。如果有一个积极主动的态度，那么说英语的机会随处可见。故选D。
