A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106foreign students．It shows that most students considered（41）E spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival．This was followed by（42）G．Writing increased as a problem as students discovered （43）A in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in．Reading（44）J as a significant problem．
Information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course．Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation，we（45）C it important to note what seemed to encourage interest．Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country．To use the same（46）H would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation，especially if it has failed in the past．Therefore a different method may help because it is different．Variety of（47）F was also seen as a way of（48）B or increasing motivation．Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout，but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest about halfway through the ten weeks．This led us to a major re-think，so in the end we brought it into line with the expressed language（49）D of the students．

2．A．aspects       B．extended     C．constructing      D．unfortunately     E．instance
F．traditional     G．continued     H．simply         I．based             J．units

In 1791the French nation，in the midst of a revolution，wished to break with the past，especially with those（41）A of it which they considered illogical and useless．One of those was the（42）F  system of weights and measures in use．Not only was the system clearly complicated，but it also varied widely from place to place．So the French spent a large amount of time and efforts regulating a new system．
In（43）C  the new system，the French began by setting up a unit of distance equal to one forty millionth part of the earth's circumference （周长）．But（44）D  later measurements showed that the unit designed was not exactly that part，but they（45）G  to use it．（Today the unit is defined simply as the distance between two marks on a metal bar kept in suburb of Paris）．The unit is the meter and the system of measurements（46）I  on this unit is the metric （米制的） system，the system today used by scientists all over the world．
The metric system is built in（47）J  of ten，Greek prefixes showing multiples and Latin prefixes showing fractions．The Greeks had no word for a number larger than ten thousand and the Romans had none for a number larger than one thousand，but the system was（48）B  by using less specific words； for（49）E  mega meter （one million meters） comes from a Greek word that means simply"large"．
