Many language learners think their pronunciation is good
enough because their teacher doesn’t correct them too often or
because other students can1them.
Pronunciation is the area which is2the least attention to in language learning. Most teachers3just let their students speak. The teachers stop them4 the students say something completely wrong. Working on each student’s pronunciation in class is just5. Also，the students who are6at pronunciation may be afraid that it will embarrass their classmates if they help7 their mistakes.
Although you believe your pronunciation is good enough to8，you may be 9when you actually go to a foreign country. One of my friends was the best student in his10class in Poland. However，when he went to America，he found Ameri cans didn’t understand11of what he said.
Your pronunciation may still be quite12that of a native speaker. If this is the 13，other people will find it14to understand what you’re saying and will not be comfortable with you.
15，don’t think yo u can communicate in a foreign language16you’ve tested your skills on real native speakers. 17for native or near-native pronunciation so that people you talk to can communicate with you18. In order
to achieve this goal，there’s no19that you will need to start thinking about pronunciation and20time on it.

Ⅳ. 阅读理解
“Indeed，”George Washington wrote i n his diary in 1785，“some kind of fly，or bug(虫子)，had begun to hunt on the leaves before I left home. ”The father of our country was not the father of bug. When Washington wrote that sentence，Englishman had been referring to insects as bugs for more than a century，and we Americans had already created Lightening bug. But the English were soon to get rid of the bugs in their language，leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
The American bug could also be a person，referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Although“fan”became the usual term，sports enthusiasts were racing bugs，basketball bugs，and the like. And a bug could be just a plain person with mental disease，confined(限制)to a bughouse.
Or the bug could be a small machine or object: a telegraph key；a clip used by a
card sharp to hold cards under the table；even a car，the small，bug-shaped，trademarked V olkswagen Beetle. The bug could also be burglar alarm(防盗铃)，from which comes the expression to bug，that is，originally“to fix an alarm”，now a surveillance device like a hidden microphone. Since the 1840s to bug has long meant“to cheat”，and since the 1940s it has been annoying.
We also know the bug as a fault in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back long before computers to the laboratory of inventor Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as“little fault and difficulties”that require“months of anxious watching，study and labor”to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison“had been up the two previous nights discovering”a bug“in his phonograph(唱机)”.
【文章大意】美式英语中的bug一词含义丰富，来了解一下吧。

1. Who called insects as bugs in the 19th century?
A. The English.
B. The Americans.
C. George Washington.
D. The author’s father.
【解析】选B。

细节理解题。

由第一段最后一句“But the English were soon to get rid of the bugs in their language，leaving it to the Americans to call a bug a bug in the ninete enth and twentieth centuries. ”可知，在19世纪和20世纪，美国人把昆虫称为“bug”。

2. The underlined words“surveillance device”in Paragraph 3 most probably mean.
A. a new computer program
B. a clip used by a card sharp to hold cards under the table
C. something helping hear others’ words on the phone
D. an alarm clock to wake you up
【解析】选C。

词义猜测题。

由画线词后的“like a hidden microphone”可知，画线词是指像隐藏的麦克风一样的东西，所以选C项。

【方法技巧】利用反义关系或同义关系推测词义
(1)利用反义关系推测词义
有些生词的后面往往会出现一个或几个反义词，或者表转折意义的连词、词组等，抓住这些可以帮助我们推断生词词义。

标志词有although，but，however，whereas(然而)，nevertheless(然而，不过)，on the contrary，in contrast(相对)，on the one hand，on the other hand，for one thing...for another，instead(of)，rather than等。

(2)利用同义关系推测词义
通常情况下，英语忌讳实词重复。

避免重复的方法之一是利用同义词或近义词代替。

同义词替换的修饰方法可以为我们推测词义提供明显的语境线索。

3. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. How Edison found a bug.
B. Another meaning of bug.
C. Computers have faults.
D. Discovery costs patience.
【解析】选B。

主旨大意题。

由最后一段，特别是该段第一句话可知，该段讲述了bug的另外一个含义。

4. From the passage we can infer that.
A. George Washington found the bug first
B. England is more developed than America
C. the English like animals
D. the author is an American
【解析】选D。

推理判断题。

由第一段“The father of our country was not the father of bug. ”和“we Americans had already created Lightening bug”可推知，作者是一名美国人。
