Many people speak it but few speak it really well. Practice is necessary in speaking English well.Reading is also one of the things that will help you to speak English better. Read whenever you can and whatever you like! Read papers and Internet sites that you like in English every day. Then, you will see that the number of known words is increasing and you are able to speak with more skills. Then you will have made the foundations (基础) and a good basis of English. It is not good to stop and get stuck there.Going to England or an English–speaking country is a good choice, but many people cannot afford it. If you cannot go, reading and speaking with your friends will also help you to practice your English. However, I think it is very good to visit some English –speaking country to see and test your knowledge in everyday life. You will understand the everyday usage of the language in its natural environment. There your level of English is going to improve even faster. You ability to speak English is better. Nothing can match the excitement and happiness when a native speaker tells you that your English is very good!Finally, in order to speak English well, you must be persistent (坚持的) and do it every day. It is like playing the piano. Pianists play it every day and so should you. Include English in your life and you will see where it is going. Practice, practice! Read, write and improve your language skills and you are on your way when you will be able to speak it with more and more confidence!51. What does the writer suggest about reading?A. Trying to improve your vocabulary.B. Keeping on reading when you have time.C. Stopping when you have a good basis of English.D. Looking up every unknown word when reading.52. In the writer’s eyes, the essential way to improve your speaking skills is _______.A. practicingB. going abroadC. readingD. writing53. The main idea of the last paragraph is that ________.A. we should play the piano every dayB. speaking English is fun and entertainingC. we should practice English every day to improve our speaking skillsD. if we’ve learned to read and write, we’ll certainly be able to speak54. According to the passage, what may make the author excited?A. Reading papers and Internet sites.B. Having a good basis of English.C. Going to an English–speaking country.D. A native speaker’s praise.55. What’s the purpose of the writer writing this passage?A. To tell us the importance of reading a lotB. To tell us the importance of speaking English wellC. To give us some advice on how to improve our vocabularyD. To give us some advice on how to speak English wellBI travel a lot, and I find out different "styles" of directions every time 1 ask "How can I get to the post office?"Foreign tourists are often confused (困惑) in Japan because most streets there don't have names in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop."In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it's about five minutes from here." You say, "Yes, but how many miles away is it?" They don't know.It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, 'Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that "I don't know" is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!56. When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________A. describe the place carefullyB. show him a map of the placeC. tell him the names of the streetsD. refer to recognizable buildings and places57. What is the place where people measure distance in time?A. New York.B. Los Angeles.C. Kansas.D. Iowa.58. People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________A. in order to save timeB. as a testC. so as to be politeD. for fun59. Which sentence is true according to the text?A. There are no street names in Japan.B. There are no landmarks in the countryside of America.C. People in Yucatan always give wrong answers when asked the way.D. All the people in the countryside of America don’t tell you directions and distanceswhen asked the way.60. What can we infer from the text?A. It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.B. It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C. People have similar understandings of politeness.D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.CIt must have been around nine O’clock when I drove back home from work because it was already dark. As I came near to the gates I turned off the headlamps of the car so as to prevent the beam(光荣) from swinging(摇摆)in through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me. But I needn’t have done so; I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway--- unless he had fallen asleep while reading. I put the car away and went up the steps. Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jack’s room. He was in bed awake but he didn’t even turn towards me.―What’s up, Jack?‖ I said.“For God’s sake(看在上帝面上), don’t make a noise,”he said.The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself a serious injury.―Take your shoes off, Neville,‖ Jack said.I thought that he must be ill and that I had better humour (迁就)him to keep him happy, “There’s a snake here”he explained, “It’s asleep between the sheets. I was lying on my back reading when I saw it. I knew that moving was out of the question. I coul dn’t have moved even if I’d wanted to.‖ I realized that he was serious. ―I was relying on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home.‖ Jack went on.‖ It hasn’t bitten me yet but I daren’t do anything to upset it. It might wake up. I’m sick of this,‖ he said, ：”I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago.”There was no time to argue or apologize for being late. I looked at him as encouragingly as I could and went out to telephone the doctor.61. When he got home, Neville found that ______?A. Jack had fallen asleep while readingB.

I have been a boarder(寄宿生) with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in they evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on(溺爱) Judy’s children. They often sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn’t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said Icouldn’t think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no deed for me to move, for they hadn’t yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. ―Naturally I’m worried about my mother. She has been in poor health.‖ She smiled sadly a nd added. ―To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We’ll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Mother will be all right living herself, or perhaps they will both change their minds.‖That was six months ago. During this time I’ve heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she’s still living alone and I’m still living in the basement room.66. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B.

Read on to find out how you can improve your life through laughter! One reason for this is because laughter has the same stress-relieving (缓解压力) effects as exercise. When you laugh, your muscles（肌肉）, especially those in your face and stomach, get a good workout. It’s believed that a good hearty laugh is equal to several minutes of exercise.[2] Laughing is good for your body in many ways. Laughter, for example, strengthens your immune （免疫的）system. So when you laugh, you are actually helping your body fight off sickness. Laughing is also a natural way to reduce pain. Get a headache? Laughter just might be the best medicine for you.[3] Studies have found that people who laugh a lot are less likely to suffer from heart disease. And strangely enough, laughing can even help people who snore (打鼾).[4] Besides, laughing is also good for your relationships. As the popular saying goes, ―Laugh and the whole world laughs with you. Cry and you cry alone. ‖[5] Having a sense of humor is extremely attractive. Laughing draws people closer together. And it can help relieve tension in relationships.[6] Unfortunately, as we get older, most of us ________. So make a conscious effort to laugh more in your daily life.第二节完成句子（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）根据提示，将所缺的词或短语等补充完整，要注意使用正确的形式。
