III、阅读理解(25’)

A

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to

put an English sentence, word for word, into your own

language. Take the sentence “How do you do?”as an

example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one

at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong

sentence in your own language.

Languages do not just have different sounds, they are

different in many ways. It’s important to master(掌握) the

rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the

speakers put words in a wrong order, the listener can’t

understand the speaker’s sentence is changed, the meaning

of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is

changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change.

Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.

“She only likes apples.”“Only she likes apples.”“I have

seen the film already seen the film.”

When you are learning English, you must do your best to

get the spirit of languages and use it as the English

speaker does.

31.( ) From the passage we know that when we are

learning English.

A we shouldn’t put every word into our own language

B we should look up every word in the dictionary

C we need to put every word into our own language

D we must read word by word
