Among the four skills in learning English, which one of these is the “odd-man-out”? The answer is speaking. The other three you can do alone on your own. But you can’t really speak alone! Speaking to yourself can be “dangerous” because men in white coats may come and take you away!

Where can you find people to speak English? And how can you practice speaking when you are alone?

At school  If you pay to go to a language school, you should use the opportunity to speak. If your teacher asks you to speak in pairs or groups with other students, try to say as much as possible. Don’t worry about your mistakes. Just speak!

Conversation Clubs  Many cities around the world have conversation clubs where people can exchange one language for another. Look in your local newspaper to find a conversation club near you. They are usually free although some may charge a small entrance fee.

Shopping  Even if you don’t want to buy anything, you can ask questions about products that interest you in a shop. “ How much does this cost?” “Can I pay by cheque?” Often you can start a real conversation—and it costs you nothing!

Cafe and Bars  There are often American, Britain, Irish and Australian bars in many large cities. If you can find one, you’ll probably meet many people speaking English as a first or second language.

Language is all around you  Everywhere you go, you find language. Shop names, street names, advertisements, notices, and car numbers…When you walk down the street, practice reading the words and numbers that you see. Say them to yourself. It’s not exactly a conversation, but it will help you to “think” in English. But don’t speak too loud!

Songs and Video  Repeat the words of an English-language song singing with the music until it becomes automatic. It’s good practice for your memory and for the mouth muscles that you need for English.

Above all, speak as much as possible! Make as many mistakes as possible! When you know that you have made a mistake, you know that you have made progress!

1.What does “odd-man-out” probably mean according to the passage?

A. Someone or something appearing different from the others.

B.Someone or something standing out of the group.

C.Someone or something arranged in pairs.

D.Someone or something that can be easily mistaken for another.

2.What might happen if you speak to yourself loudly in public?

A.The police will take you away and punish you.

B.The doctors will force you to stay in hospital.

C.You will have to pay to escape being punished.

D.You will be forbidden to be member of the club.

3.In which places can you learn English NOT free of charge?

A.At school, in conversation clubs and cafe and bars.

B.At school, in shops and cafe bars.

C.In conversation clubs, shops, songs and video.

D.In conversation clubs and in the streets.

4.Why does the writer say “Make as many mistakes as possible”? Because _____________.

A. everyone will make mistakes in learning English

B.everyone will meet people speaking English with some mistakes

C.making mistakes is a must in making progress in learning English

D.making mistakes can make one realize the importance of speaking

5.According to the passage, which way is NOT likely to be accepted by English beginners?

A. Recite poems loudly along the riverside.

B.Listen to some English fashion songs and video.

C.Find an Englishman to speak English with.

D.In class, try to practice in groups or pairs.

 

答案:B;B;A;C;A
解析:

1、该题为词义猜测题。根据“The other three you can do alone on your own. But you can’t really speak alone!”这段话可以看出,其余三者有相似之处,而唯独speaking与众不同。因此,可以判断出该词的含义为B项的意思。

2、该题为推理判断题。根据第一段中“Speaking to yourself can be “dangerous” because men in white coats may come and take you away!”这句话中“穿白大褂的人”实际上指的是医生。

3、可以用淘汰的方法来解题。in shops,in the street用英语对话是免费的。

4、根据文章最后一段中When you know that you have made a mistake, you know that you have made progress!可以判断出答案。

5、该题为综合判断题。文章中对B、C、D三项的内容均有描述,故可以判断出A项为不可行的方式。

第三部分  阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分, 满分40分)

第一节 (共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)

阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties(特色菜) in Germany, Spain, and France.

At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named campus cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.

Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma (魅力) is key. “Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”

But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights. Lieberman got the job.

A. He could prepare meals in a small kitchen.

B. He was famous for his shows on Food TV.

C. He was good at using eggs to make sandwiches.

D. He could cook cheap, delicious and simple meals

4. What can we learn about Lieberman from the text?

     Among the most popular forms of dieting is the South Beach diet, developed by Arthur Agatston
of Miami, Florida. Dr. Agatston developed the South Beach diet for his patients with heart problems
to lose weight. Since weight matters a lot in keeping heart healthy and traditional low-fat diets were too
difficult for them to stick to, Dr. Agatston decided to create a plan that could help his patients. At first,
the diet was just for his patients. Soon, thanks to his patients' success, the diet became the buzz in
Miami, and eventually, word spread across the nation.
     This diet focuses on a healthy balance between carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and fats. It is based
on eating a combination of "good" carbohydrates and fats, while limiting those "bad" ones. It is divided
into three different phases.
     The first phase lasts for two weeks and is the strictest of the three. During this phase, you are asked
to restrict (限制) all carbohydrates (good and bad). You are allowed to eat all types of fish, cheeses,
eggs, and nuts, and a large number of vegetables. Most dieters can expect to lose between 8 and 12
pounds during this phase.
     During Phase 2, you are allowed to reintroduce some of those carbohydrates that are not allowed
before. You are encouraged to start eating carbohydrates that have a low glycemic index (升糖指数).
But you should keep in mind that the key is moderation (适度). Most people continue to lose 1-2
pounds per week. You continue with this phase until you reach your target weight.
     Phase 3 is designed to help you keep your weight. During Phase 3, you can reintroduce some of
the carbohydrates that have a higher glycemic index, although again, this should be in moderation. Phase
3 is meant to be a way of life.

1. The text is mainly about       .
A. a plan to keep heart healthy        
B. a popular form of dieting
C. how to keep healthy through 3 phases    
D. how to lose weight more quickly

2. What does the underlined part "the buzz" in the first paragraph probably mean?
A. Widely spread news.                
B. A daily hobby.    
C. A useful activity.    
D. A loud noise.  
  
3. During Phase 1, you are advised to       .
A. have some carbohydrates
B. eat a smaller amount of food
C. eat a variety of food except carbohydrates
D. have carbohydrates that have a low glycemic index

      Among the dead in South Asia's tsunami were many tourists at Sri Lanka's national wildlife park at
Yala. But very few of the park's animals - elephants, buffaloes, monkeys and wild cats -appear to have
died. There are theories that animals can sense natural disasters and flee to safety. First, it s possible that
the animals may have heard the quake before the tsunami hit. The underwater rupture likely produced
sound waves known as infrasound (次声) or infrasonic sound. Humans can't hear infrasound, but many
animals including dogs, elephants, tigers and pigeons can. A second early warning sign the animals might
have sensed is ground vibration (振动). The massive quake would have produced vibrational waves
known as Rayleigh waves. These vibrations move through the ground like waves move on the surface
of the ocean but faster.   They travel at ten times the speed of sound. The Rayleigh waves would have
reached Sri Lanka hours before the water hit. Mammals, birds, insects and spiders can sense Rayleigh
waves. So the animals at Yala might have felt the Rayleigh waves and then run to higher ground. But
what about humans? While we can't hear infrasound, we can feel it, although we don't necessarily
know we're feeling it. We also experience Rayleigh waves by special sensors in our joints, which exist
just for that purpose. Sadly, it seems we don't pay attention to the information when we get it. Maybe
we screen it out because there's so much going on before our eyes and in our ears. Humans have a lot
of things on our minds and usually that works out OK.
1. Why did few animals at Yala die when the tsunamis that caused a huge number of human deaths hit?
A. Because the animals were staying at a higher place in the park.
B. Because the animals were able to run much faster than human beings.
C. Because human beings cannot hear the infrasonic sound.
D. Because the animals might have picked up the danger signals and ran away.
2. Which of the statements about "Ravleigh waves" is true?
A. Rayleigh waves are massive vibrational waves that usually cause quakes or tsunamis.
B. Rayleigh waves move on the ocean surface at a speed ten times that of sound waves.
C. Rayleigh waves can be felt both by animals and human beings.
D. Rayleigh waves, just like infrasonic sound, can only be felt by animals.
3. When a tsunami hits, it is possible that ______.
A. we can't feel the infrasound so we can't be informed of the danger
B. we can feel Rayleigh waves as well as infrasound so we are able to escape the danger like animals
C. we were so busy with things on our minds that we feel neither infrasound nor Rayleigh waves
D. we think nothing of the information of its coming even though we can also get it
4. What does the underlined word "that" in the last sentence refer to?
A. Screening out the information.
B. There being so much going on before our eyes and in our ears.
C. Having a lot of things on our minds.
D. Paying attention to the information.
