2.Learning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I’ d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.“Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience ... not to be inhibited( 拘谨 )... not to be nervousExactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’ t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’ re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ ll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’ re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary -- or at least it’ s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper1、The topic of the passage is ________A、how to be a good writerB、how to be a good speakerC、how to express yourself with your wordsD、how to get rid of nervousness in public speaking2、The public speech course mainly teaches students ______A、how to make an attractive speech using perfect grammar and vocabularyB、how to express themselves exactly and vividlyC、how to collect data needed and organize itD、how to get over their nervousness when making a speech3、The similarity between making a public speech and writing is that _______A、you have to do a lot of preparation work beforehandB、 you should get over your nervous inhibitionsC、 you should know grammar and vocabulary well to accomplish themD、 both of them have audience4、In the opinion of the author, public speaking is much easier than writing because _______A、public speaking requires less effort than writingB、 it’ s unnecessary for you to write a lot for speech and you can say anything as you likeC、 you face the audience directly in public speaking; while writing is otherwiseD、 in public speaking, the audience have to listen to you whether they like it or not5、The author of this passage probably is a ________A、bossB、 politicianC、 writerD、 professor

    The Balance between Fluency and Accuracy

    To be able to speak English with fluency and accuracy is a goal of many Chinese English learners.Fluency can be simply defined as"being able to communicate ideas without having to stop and think too much about what one is saying";speaking accurately means"speaking without errors of grammar and vocabulary".
    However,the fact is that many students find that the faster they try to speak,the more mistakes they make.And,when they slow down,there may be fewer errors though it can sound unnatural. So,how to balance accuracy and fluency in spoken English?
    It can depend on the manner in which one has studied English in the past.People who tend to focus on accuracy may find that they worry too much about making mistakes.This can make them nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public.As a result,their spoken English might not improve.This means that,although they know English grammar and vocabulary well,they might not be able to hold a good conversation.
    On the other hand,there are those who really like to talk and are willing to try their language out even if they make mistakes.This willingness to take risks helps them speak more fluidly.But,if they make a lot of mistakes,it may make it difficult for them to have their ideas understood.
    The debate about which is more important一fluency or accuracy一in the English language has lasted for a long time.Still,one thing is clear:neither of them should be absent if one is to speak a language well.How can we be sure that we can develop both?The following tips could help.
    Find the problem.What kind of person are you一one who focuses on accuracy or one who focuses on frequency?The first step is to recognize your problem and go to work on it.Think about situations where you've used English and how you felt about making mistakes?Do you always try some new language even though it might not be correct?Or do you feel embarrassed by mistakes?
    Focus on one problem at a time.When you speak English,find the mistakes you make most often.One mistake Chinese often make is omitting the"S"from the third person singular verb.Or you may speak too slowly as if you were searching for the right word and correct grammar. The next time you use English,try to work on those problems you have identified.If it's fluency,try to focus on it.If you have a problem with the third person singular,try to concentrate on when you make such errors.Don't spend time thinking about other mistakes.By choosing an area to work on,you can isolate problems and help yourself overcome them.
    Vary your practice.If you go to an English corner or an English club,try to change the types of activities you take part in so that you practice both fluency and accuracy.Public speaking allows you to slow down and be sure you have time to concentrate on the language.Meanwhile,discussions are good practice for fluency,especially if you don't stop each time a mistake is made.
    Tell the difference between fluency and speed.Some Chinese think that speaking fast is the same as speaking fluently.In fact,speaking fluently involves not only speed.It also involves stress, pronunciation and intonation. If you make a mistake in these,speaking fast will only make it worse. Don't sacrifice understanding for speed.
    Record yourself. Take a tape recorder and record a conversation with a friend or a speech or talk to yourself as you do it naturally!A two-or-three-minute recording is enough.When you've finished,listen to yourself. Can you find out any error and correct it?Make it a regular practice.The more you record yourself,the more confident and natural sounding you will become.

    Who are likely to feel nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public?
    A:Those who focus on fluency.
    B:Those who focus on accuracy.
    C:Those who speaks fast.
    D:Those who record themselves.

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题是细节推理题。题干是:准确性的定义是什么?选择A的依据是第一段最后一句:" speaking without errors of grammar and vocabulary”说话不犯语法错误和词汇错误。这与选项A的内容一致。所以选项A是正确答案。
    本题是细节理解题。题干是:在“This willingness to take risks helps them speak more fluidly”句中fluidly的意思是什么?(第四段,第二行)。选择A的依据第四段的第一句:" On the other hand , there are those who really like to talk and are willing to try their language out even if they make mistakes.”另一方面,有一些人真的很喜欢说话,而且就算说错,他们也愿意试着说。这说明该段主要强调注重流利性多于准确性的人,所以依此推理fluidly是“流利的”意思。另外,也可以通过fluid作为名词液体的意思,借助一些名词加“ly”以后变成副词或者形容词这一常识推理出正确答案。所以选A。
    本题是细节理解题。题干是:流利性和准确性哪个更重要?选择D的依据是,第五段的前两句:" The debate about which is more important一fluency or accuracy一in the English language has lasted for a long time.Still,one thing is clear:neither of them should be absent if one is to speak a language well.”说英语时流利重要还是准确重要,关于这个问题的辩论持续了很长时间。然而,有一点是明确的,即想要说好一门语言,流利性和准确性都不能少。作者似乎提出在文中提出了和题干一样的题,但后面的回答只是关于二者的必要性,而非就二者之间哪个更重要,所以D是正确答案。
    本题是细节理解题。题干是:根据本文,哪个说法是正确的? 选择D的依据是全文最后一句:"The more you record yourself, the more confident and natural sounding you will become.”你自己录音越多,你就越有自信,你的英语听上去会更自然。所以选择与原文同义的选项D。
    本题是细节推理题。题干是:在进行公共演讲时,谁会感到紧张、尴尬?选择B的依据是第三段的第二、三句:" People who tend to focus on accuracy may find that they worry too much about making mistakes.This can make them nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public.”那些倾向于注重说话准确性的人可能会发现,他们太过担心犯错误。这可能导致他们在公众场合说英语感到紧张或尴尬。所以,选项B注重说话准确性的人,是正确答案。

    正确答案:
    要想学好一门外语,必须克服害怕犯错的恐惧。
    解析: 暂无解析

  • 第13题:

    (阅读理解题)How do you acquire confidence? Speak English with friends first because with them you can speak freely without feeling shy.Then try your ability with your teachers and with foreigners if you have an opportunity to meet them.Don’t be afraid of mistakes.Nobody is above mistakes; and don’t be afraid to ask questions about things you don’t know.This is the way to acquire knowledge.Not until you begin to think in English rather than Chinese can you be said to know the language.This is not a superhuman achievement—only a question of practice.Thinking in English will help you to truly understand how the language is spoken.Read novels to build vocabulary, thus gaining confidence.Start with small volumes of 30 to 40 pages.Write down any new word you discover and look it up in your dictionary.Learn how to use the new word by making sentences with it.Bring the word to your teacher to have it explained more fully.Don’t be angry when you learn a new word today and forget it tomorrow.To forget is a natural process; to remember is unnatural and requires effort.Of 10 new words learnt in a day, only two or three will remain in the memory.The others you will forget and have to relearn.When learning them for the second time, they will come more easily, and this time you probably will remember nearly all of them.A small minority, however, may elude you again, and have to be learnt for a third time.Constant repetition is necessary.

    (1).You can gain confidence by speaking English with the following people but ______?

    A、 foreigners

    B、 teachers

    C、 family members

    D、 friends

    (2).When can you be said to know English?

    A、 When you have confidence with English.

    B、 When you have built vocabulary.

    C、 When you can think in English.

    D、 When you are not afraid to ask questions.

    (3).We can build vocabulary in the following ways except ______.

    A、 reading novels

    B、 often speaking with foreigners

    C、 constant repetition of new words

    D、 looking up the new words in a dictionary, making sentences with them, etc.

    (4).What are suggested to do if you always forget the new words?

    A、 To relearn constantly.

    B、 To practice more.

    C、 To read novels.

    D、 To be angry.

    (5).What's the best title for the passage?

    Passage Five

    In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal (目标) of language use is communication (交际), then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying "I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by communicating with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say "I'll do it". The result can serve as a basis for the student to change his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.

    52. According to the passage, the present tense in English is ______.

    A. not used to express one's readiness to do something in the immediate future

    B. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intention

    C. basically the same in English as it is in Spanish

    D. not the most difficult problem for foreign students

    C.Writing them on the blackboard.
    D.Making up sentences.

    答案:A
    解析:
    考查语音教学。学生对两个英语发音混淆不清的时候,教师可以向学生解释如何正确发音。本来学生就不清楚如何发音,用绕口令更容易使他分辨不清。而把语音写在黑板上容易分散学生在“听”上的注意力。造句属于产出训练阶段的练习,也不适合此处情境。故选A。

    D.development

    答案:D
    解析:
    考查写作教学。英语写作作为书面表达的一种交际方式,在语言教学中是十分重要的,因此我们要重视写作教学。加强英语写作训练有助于我们大多数英语学习者巩固已学过的语言知识。发展我们的语言技能,也有利于提高写作技能本身。language development即“语言发展”。

    The Balance between Fluency and Accuracy

    To be able to speak English with fluency and accuracy is a goal of many Chinese English learners.Fluency can be simply defined as"being able to communicate ideas without having to stop and think too much about what one is saying";speaking accurately means"speaking without errors of grammar and vocabulary".
    However,the fact is that many students find that the faster they try to speak,the more mistakes they make.And,when they slow down,there may be fewer errors though it can sound unnatural. So,how to balance accuracy and fluency in spoken English?
    It can depend on the manner in which one has studied English in the past.People who tend to focus on accuracy may find that they worry too much about making mistakes.This can make them nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public.As a result,their spoken English might not improve.This means that,although they know English grammar and vocabulary well,they might not be able to hold a good conversation.

    Focus on one problem at a time.When you speak English,find the mistakes you make most often.One mistake Chinese often make is omitting the"S"from the third person singular verb.Or you may speak too slowly as if you were searching for the right word and correct grammar.

    Tell the difference between fluency and speed.Some Chinese think that speaking fast is the same as speaking fluently.In fact,speaking fluently involves not only speed.It also involves stress, pronunciation and intonation.

    What does the word"fluidly"mean in the sentence"This willingness to take risks helps them speak more fluidly"(Line 2,Para. 4)?
    A:Fluently.
    B:Accurately.
    C:Fluently and accurately.
    D:Clearly.

    答案:A
    解析:
    本题是细节推理题。题干是:准确性的定义是什么?选择A的依据是第一段最后一句:" speaking without errors of grammar and vocabulary”说话不犯语法错误和词汇错误。这与选项A的内容一致。所以选项A是正确答案。
    本题是细节理解题。题干是:在“This willingness to take risks helps them speak more fluidly”句中fluidly的意思是什么?(第四段,第二行)。选择A的依据第四段的第一句:" On the other hand , there are those who really like to talk and are willing to try their language out even if they make mistakes.”另一方面,有一些人真的很喜欢说话,而且就算说错,他们也愿意试着说。这说明该段主要强调注重流利性多于准确性的人,所以依此推理fluidly是“流利的”意思。另外,也可以通过fluid作为名词液体的意思,借助一些名词加“ly”以后变成副词或者形容词这一常识推理出正确答案。所以选A。
    本题是细节理解题。题干是:流利性和准确性哪个更重要?选择D的依据是,第五段的前两句:" The debate about which is more important一fluency or accuracy一in the English language has lasted for a long time.Still,one thing is clear:neither of them should be absent if one is to speak a language well.”说英语时流利重要还是准确重要,关于这个问题的辩论持续了很长时间。然而,有一点是明确的,即想要说好一门语言,流利性和准确性都不能少。作者似乎提出在文中提出了和题干一样的题,但后面的回答只是关于二者的必要性,而非就二者之间哪个更重要,所以D是正确答案。
    本题是细节理解题。题干是:根据本文,哪个说法是正确的? 选择D的依据是全文最后一句:"The more you record yourself, the more confident and natural sounding you will become.”你自己录音越多,你就越有自信,你的英语听上去会更自然。所以选择与原文同义的选项D。
    本题是细节推理题。题干是:在进行公共演讲时,谁会感到紧张、尴尬?选择B的依据是第三段的第二、三句:" People who tend to focus on accuracy may find that they worry too much about making mistakes.This can make them nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public.”那些倾向于注重说话准确性的人可能会发现,他们太过担心犯错误。这可能导致他们在公众场合说英语感到紧张或尴尬。所以,选项B注重说话准确性的人,是正确答案。

    The Balance between Fluency and Accuracy

    To be able to speak English with fluency and accuracy is a goal of many Chinese English learners.Fluency can be simply defined as"being able to communicate ideas without having to stop and think too much about what one is saying";speaking accurately means"speaking without errors of grammar and vocabulary".
    However,the fact is that many students find that the faster they try to speak,the more mistakes they make.And,when they slow down,there may be fewer errors though it can sound unnatural. So,how to balance accuracy and fluency in spoken English?
    It can depend on the manner in which one has studied English in the past.People who tend to focus on accuracy may find that they worry too much about making mistakes.This can make them nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public.As a result,their spoken English might not improve.This means that,although they know English grammar and vocabulary well,they might not be able to hold a good conversation.
    On the other hand,there are those who really like to talk and are willing to try their language out even if they make mistakes.This willingness to take risks helps them speak more fluidly.But,if they make a lot of mistakes,it may make it difficult for them to have their ideas understood.
    The debate about which is more important一fluency or accuracy一in the English language has lasted for a long time.Still,one thing is clear:neither of them should be absent if one is to speak a language well.How can we be sure that we can develop both?The following tips could help.
    Find the problem.What kind of person are you一one who focuses on accuracy or one who focuses on frequency?The first step is to recognize your problem and go to work on it.Think about situations where you've used English and how you felt about making mistakes?Do you always try some new language even though it might not be correct?Or do you feel embarrassed by mistakes?
    Focus on one problem at a time.When you speak English,find the mistakes you make most often.One mistake Chinese often make is omitting the"S"from the third person singular verb.Or you may speak too slowly as if you were searching for the right word and correct grammar. The next time you use English,try to work on those problems you have identified.If it's fluency,try to focus on it.If you have a problem with the third person singular,try to concentrate on when you make such errors.Don't spend time thinking about other mistakes.By choosing an area to work on,you can isolate problems and help yourself overcome them.
    Vary your practice.If you go to an English corner or an English club,try to change the types of activities you take part in so that you practice both fluency and accuracy.Public speaking allows you to slow down and be sure you have time to concentrate on the language.Meanwhile,discussions are good practice for fluency,especially if you don't stop each time a mistake is made.
    Tell the difference between fluency and speed.Some Chinese think that speaking fast is the same as speaking fluently.In fact,speaking fluently involves not only speed.It also involves stress, pronunciation and intonation. If you make a mistake in these,speaking fast will only make it worse. Don't sacrifice understanding for speed.
    Record yourself. Take a tape recorder and record a conversation with a friend or a speech or talk to yourself as you do it naturally!A two-or-three-minute recording is enough.When you've finished,listen to yourself. Can you find out any error and correct it?Make it a regular practice.The more you record yourself,the more confident and natural sounding you will become.

    Which statement is true according to the passage?
    A:You don't stop each time when you practice your accuracy.
    B:You should care about all the mistakes in your speaking all the time.
    C:Record yourself for three to four minutes is a good method to improve accuracy.
    D:You record yourself more,and you will become more confident and natural sounding.

    答案:D
    解析:
    本题是细节推理题。题干是:准确性的定义是什么?选择A的依据是第一段最后一句:" speaking without errors of grammar and vocabulary”说话不犯语法错误和词汇错误。这与选项A的内容一致。所以选项A是正确答案。
    本题是细节理解题。题干是:在“This willingness to take risks helps them speak more fluidly”句中fluidly的意思是什么?(第四段,第二行)。选择A的依据第四段的第一句:" On the other hand , there are those who really like to talk and are willing to try their language out even if they make mistakes.”另一方面,有一些人真的很喜欢说话,而且就算说错,他们也愿意试着说。这说明该段主要强调注重流利性多于准确性的人,所以依此推理fluidly是“流利的”意思。另外,也可以通过fluid作为名词液体的意思,借助一些名词加“ly”以后变成副词或者形容词这一常识推理出正确答案。所以选A。

    问答题
    In writing all of the integers from 1 to 300, how many times is the digit 1 used?

    正确答案: 160
    解析:
    可以参考TACTIC8。根据题意,把数位上有1的数值进行系统地列举有:1到99之间,数位上有1的共20个数值,即(1,11,21…,91)和(10,11,2…,19);相应地,200到299之间,数位上有1的也有20个数值;而100到199之间,数位上有1的除了个位,十位上的,还有百位上的,共有120个数值,所以总数是20+20+20+100=160.
