ALearners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability.First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “fashionable”.Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in some special English programs, such as V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.21. This is a piece of advice to learners of English on how to ______________.A. improve their listening abilityB. read fastC. write better English and read fasterD. speak correctly22.

School education is very important and useful．Yet,no one can learn everything from school．A teacher，no matter how much he knows，can’t teach his students everything they want to know．The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn．He teaches them how to read and how to think.So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves．It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize( some facts or formulas(公式)．It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula to work out a math problem．Great scientists before us didn’t ge t everything from school．Their teachers only showed them the way．Edison did not even finish primary school．But they were all so successful．They invented so many things for mankind．The reason for their success is that they knew how to study．They read books that were not taught at school．They would ask many questions as they read．They did thousands of experiments．They worked hard all their lives，wasting not a single moment．Above all，they knew how to use their brains．25.People go to school toA. 1earn several subjectsB．get an educationC．make a livingD．1earn a skill26.According to the passage，the most important thing a teacher should do isA．to know everythingB．to teach his students everything he knowsC．to teach his students how to thinkD．to teach his students how to study by themselves27.To work out a math problem, you need to knowA．only some factsB．how to memorize some factsC．the method to work it outD．only a certain formula28.Why were many scientists so successful?A．They knew how to learn．B．They received a good education．C．They were very clever．D．They learned lots of facts and formulasCWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously , did not give her good service ,pretended not to understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her .My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent(（青春期的) voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan..”And my mother was standing beside me , whispering loudly, “Why he don’t sendme check already two week late.”And then , in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.29.Why was the author’s mother poorly served?A. She was unable to speak good English.B.

After the author made the phone call, .A. they forgave the stockbrokerB. they failed to get the checkC. they went to New York immediatelyD. they spoke to their boss at once32. What does the author think of her mother’s English now?A. It confuses her.B. It makes her love to tell lies.C. It helps her understand the world.D. It makes her to be rude to people.DAs late as 1800, women’s only place was in the home. The idea of woman in the business world was unthinkable. Men were certain that no woman could do a good job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea that when the well-known Bronte sisters began writing books in 1864, they had to sign their books with men’s names instead.Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to accept women.Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Nightingale became famous. Seeing that she was not only a nurse but also a rich and well-educated woman, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies”.Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurse in 1860.The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that women could work in the business world had been accepted.33. Why couldn’t women become teachers easily? Because___________A. the first profession open to them was writing.B. most schools and colleges were open only to men.C. they wanted to be nurses instead.D. they had to work in the hospital.34. The article is mainly about __________.A. women are in the business worldB. the famous Bronte sistersC. schools and colleges in AmericaD. political rights for American women35. Which fact does the article lead you to believe?A. The Bronte sisters thought that they were men.B. England’s first training school for nurses was in Ohio.C. There are more men than women in professional jobs.D. Women find it necessary to work harder than before第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。
