二、阅读理解单项选择题（本大题共20分，共 2 小题，每小题 10 分）

1. How can English teachers accelerate the language learning of their students? One way is to teach students how to learn more effectively and efficiently. Learning strategies are "Procedures or techniques

that learners can use to facilitate a learning task." Instructing students of English in learning strategies can help them become

better learners. In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming independent, confident learners. Finally, students become more motivated as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English. Students need to develop an awareness of the learning

process and strategies that lead to success. Students who reflect on their own thinking are more likely to engage in planning how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to problems encountered, and evaluating themselves upon task completion. These activities may be difficult for students accustomed to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems and is the sole judge of their progress. Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves.

Because learning strategies are mental processes with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible. When students are able to use the strategies their teachers have taught them, and to do so without prompting, then they need to explore new strategies, new applications, and new opportunities for self-regulated learning.(1). Better learning strategies can make language learning more( ).

A. fun

B.

interesting

C.

efficient

D.

exciting

(2). Students who reflect on their own ( )will be more successful in learning.

A. thinking

B.

evaluation

C.

performance

D. activities

(3). Teachers should encourage students to rely more on ( )

A. books

B.

notes

C.

tutors

D.

themselves

(4). Learning strategies are unobservable mental processes, so teachers should make them ( )

A.

simpler

B.

more familiar

C.

more concrete

D. more applicable

(5). Which of the following statements is true? ( )

A. Students learn learning strategies from the teachers only.

B.

Learning strategies are completely unobservable.

C.

Students need to explore new learning strategies for themselves.

D.

Teachers are the sole judges of students’ progress.

2. Pop means popular, and a pop singer is supposed to work very hard to become popular. He must either give the public what they already want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded, and his records are sold everywhere, he cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity.

The life of a successful pop singer isn’t at all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, because everything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper, written for the fans. The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records, they go to his concerts, and they make him rich and famous. But they can be very annoying too. Sometimes the fans become so crazy that they do anything to get a souvenir. They steal handkerchiefs, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer’s hair. Many singers have been forced to hide, and some who have not been so lucky as to escape being stripped practically naked by their fans. A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes, because he must always look smart, or, at any rate, different. He must have an expensive car. And most important is that he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public.(1). A pop singer has to keep working very hard if he wants to____.

A. win over the younger singers

B. stay popular

C. keep up with the public

D. sell more records

(2). The life of a successful pop singer is _______

A. full of trouble

A. a pop singer is afraid of meeting his fans

B. a pop singer owes a lot to his fans for his success

(4). A pop singer has to spend a lot of money ________

参考答案：

Work and Leisure People generally believe that life without leisure

is really terrible. A person who works day and night will gradually feel rather tired. This tiredness, if continues for quite a long time, tends to depress the person. As we know, “Too much wor k without play

makes Jack a dull boy”. Therefore, no matter how busy a person is,

he is supposed to find some time to relax himself. Leisure can be

said as a good medicine that will help us get rid of anxiety and oppression from work or life. When a person is tired from his work,

he can try to get some leisure. For example, listening to some light music, playing cards with friends and going fishing in the countryside. This will surely do good to our future work. So why not take time to enjoy ourselves when we are free?

参考答案：

How to Overcome Difficulties in My English Studies

As an international language, English is the first choice of Chinese learners for the purpose of communicating with world outside. However, it is really difficult for many Chinese students to learn English. First of all, i t’s very hard for them to remember the words which

are the foundation of a language. Secondly, even though they do remember some words, they don’t know how to express themselves in English. And most difficult of all, it is very difficult for Chinese students to understand what they heard in English. In a word, vocabulary, structures, listening and speaking are main difficulties for Chinese students to learn English as a foreign language.

As to the solutions to the problems, the saying “practice makes perfec t” can explain everything. The only way for us to learn a language well is to listen more, speak more, read more, and write more. The more we practice, the better we can master English.

参考答案：

The Book I Like Best

The book I like best is "The Little Prince" because I think I have benefited a lot from reading it. I believe all of you must have heard something about this, right? It was in my primary school that I began to read it. My parents bought me the book as a birthday present. but later I abandoned until last year I bought a new one.

A Little Prince is a fairy tale. Someone regard it as a book written only for children. However, when you read this book at different age, you will have different feelings toward the book. The author made us find our lost naivety. When we got lost in the real world, maybe it

is a good way to get some relief by reading this book. It reminds us

a truth: we are young, or at least we were young.

This book is definitely a great one. so far I have read it five times. It is my favorite book!
