【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. 【1】First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. 【2】 The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding. 【3】Here is some of the advice I give my students:● Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.● Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.● Do not translate everything into your native language.● 【4】 Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.● Listen to something you enjoy.I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 【5】Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I did not pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.

G .Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.

Even if scientists develop some new 【3】(way)of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make 【4】necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the planets in our solar system are able 【5】(support) life at present. One possible solution 【6】the problem, however, has recently been suggested by an American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan. His idea is 【7】before the earth’s resources are almost exhausted, it will be 【8】(total)possible to change the atmosphere of Venus（金星）and so create a new world almost as large as earth itself.

However, 【9】his idea is turned into reality, humans have a long way to go. On the one hand, Venus is much 【10】(hot)than the earth; on the other hand, there is only a tiny amount of water there.

Three years ago, I went to a boarding school. The reason for my attended such a school was that my parents was very busy. They often went abroad on business but had no time to take care of myself. Besides, they thought I ought learn to be independent. Honest speaking, the school life does benefit me a lot.

【题目】Why play games? Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules… planning your next move…acting as a team member…These are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.

Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such an taking turns and cooperating（合作）.

For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.

Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.
