  • 第1题:

    We often speak of language as a vehicle of expression a metaphor that can illumine many aspects of our foreign language teaching situation, Language is a vehicle of meaning that we do not even realize we are using,in other words, a vehicle that is transporting a person's message somewhere but is not itself the object of the trip.


    正确答案:我们经常说语言是一种工具,这种比喻可以启发我们在外语教学的许多方面,语言是我们甚至没有意识到的、正在使用的工具。换言之,语言这个工具是将人们的信息传递到别的地方,而语言并不是这个“旅程”的目的。

  • 第2题:

    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


    正确答案:A
        52.答案为A  此考题为细节题。根据文章中的...a Spanish speaker who has been sayingI do itto express willingness to do something in the immediate futurecouldby communicating with native speakers of Englishobserve that nativespeakers actually sayI'll do it”,可肯定A正确。

    Why Is the Native Language Learnt So Well?

    How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well?When we compare them with adults
    learning a foreign language,we often find this interesting fact.A little child without knowledge or experience
    often succeeds in a complete mastery(精通)of the language,A grown-up person with fully developed mental
    powers,in most cases,may end up with a faulty and inexact command(掌握).What accounts for this
    difference?
    Despite other explanations,the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself,partly in the
    behavior of thle people around him.In the first place,the time of learning the mother tongue is the most fa-
    vorable of all,namely,the first years of life.A child hears it spoken from morning till night and,what is
    more important,always in its genuine form,wirth the right pronunciation,right intonation,right use of words
    and right structure. He drinks in(吸收)all the words and expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-
    bubbling( 冒泡的)spring. There is no resistailce: there is perfect assimilation.
    Then the child has,as it were,private lessons all the year round,while an adult language-student has
    each week a limited number of hours,which he generally shares with others.The child has another advan-
    tage:he hears the language in all possible situations,always accompanied by the right kind of gestures and
    facial expiessiotis.Here there is nothing unnatural,such as is often found in language lessons in schools,
    when noe talks aboult ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January.And what a child hears is generally

    understood and fulfilled.
    Finally,though a child's"teachers"may not have been trained in language teaching,their relations
    with him are always close and personal.They take great pains to make their lessons easy.

    So far as language teaching is concerned,the teacher's close personal relationship with the student is more important than the professional language teaching training he has received.

    资料:What if you were told there was a way you may strengthen your cognitive skills and heighten your intelligence, and all you had to do was was learn to strike up basic conversations in another language?
    It probably sounds great, because if you’re like most you would love to be able to speak a second language. But then, you recall your experience in high school foreign language-boring tote memorization and long hours with little progress-and perhaps it doesn’t sound so good any more.
    But, what if you were told it would take only 10 days to be on your way to becoming bilingual? Most people recognize the many benefits of learning a foreign language: You can travel to foreign countries and fell comfortable, be a more productive and enticing employee in today’s competitive job market, and immerse yourself in the vast cultures that surround you.
    But now, the collective evidence from a number of recent studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain’s so-called executive function-a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems, and performing various other mentally demanding tasks.
    These processes include the ability to ignore distractions to stay focused, switching attention willfully from one thing to another, and holding information in the mind-like remembering a sequence of directions while driving.
    Even better, new approaches to learning mean you can learn a new language without the endless repetition, homework, and memorization. One of the most powerful actually trains people to start speaking a new language in as little as 10 days! In fact, it’s so powerful, even the FBI has purchased it!

    Successful Language Learners

    1.Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages.They can pick up new vocabulary,master rules or grammar,and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others.They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others,so what makes language learning so much easier for them?Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners,we may discover a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.
    2.First of all,successful language learners are independent learners.They do not depend on the book or the teacher;they discover their own way to learn the language.Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain,they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves.They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.When they guess wrong,they guess again.They try to learn from mistakes.
    3.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore,successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language;they look for such a chance.They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake.They will try anything to com-municate.They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things;they are willing to make mistakes and try again.When communication is difficult,they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete.It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
    4.Finally,successful language learners are learners with a purpose.They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it.It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.
    5.What kind of language learner are you?If you are a successful language learner,you have probably been learning independently,actively,and purposefully.On the other hand,if your language learning has been less than successful,you might as well try some of the techniques outlined above.

    Paragraph 3_________.
    A:Ways to learn a language successfully.
    B:Learning a language purposefully.
    C:Learning a language actively.
    D:Learning a language independently.
    E:Learning from mistakes.
    F:Learning to think in the target language.

    答案:C
    解析:
    本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段首先通过举例方式说明有些人似乎学习语言比别人更快更轻松,引出该篇文章的主题:…a few of the techniques which make language learning easier for them.即成功学习语言的方法。
    本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段主要讲述的是第一个学习语言的方法,就是独立学习的能力,作者通过举例子的方式来说明这一方法,例如这些人不会依赖老师或者课本,而是自己去摸索总结出一定的模式,寻找线索,大胆地、不断地进行猜测,从错误中学习。
    本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段主要讲述第二个语言学习的方法,就是积极主动学习的能力,这些人会寻找一切使用语言的机会,找人纠正他们的错误,敢于说一些即使有些别扭的句子,愿意接受不准确或不完整的信息,对他们来说,学习另一种思维方式比知道单词的意思更加重要。
    本题考查的是对所读材料大意与主旨的掌握。本段主要讲述第三个语言学习的方法,就是有目的性地学习的能力,这些人往往是因为对讲这种语言的人以及语言本身感兴趣才学习,这样,他们可以更好地和使用这种语言的当地人交流并向他们学习。
    本题考查的是对阐述文章的主旨事实与细节的了解。依据是第二段第四句话:They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.
    本题考查的是对阐述文章的主旨事实与细节的了解。依据是第二段第三句话:Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves.
    本题考查的是对阐述文章的主旨事实与细节的了解。依据是第三段第二句话:Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance.
    本题考查的是对阐述文章的主旨的了解。依据是第二段、第三段、第四段的第一句也就是每一段的主题句。本文的主旨就是介绍这三种重要的语言学习方法:独立、主动、有目的地学语言。

    Why Is the Native Language Learnt So Well?

    How does it happen that children learn their mother tongue so well?When we compare them with adults
    learning a foreign language,we often find this interesting fact.A little child without knowledge or experience
    often succeeds in a complete mastery(精通)of the language,A grown-up person with fully developed mental
    powers,in most cases,may end up with a faulty and inexact command(掌握).What accounts for this
    difference?
    Despite other explanations,the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child himself,partly in the
    behavior of thle people around him.In the first place,the time of learning the mother tongue is the most fa-
    vorable of all,namely,the first years of life.A child hears it spoken from morning till night and,what is
    more important,always in its genuine form,wirth the right pronunciation,right intonation,right use of words
    and right structure. He drinks in(吸收)all the words and expressions, which come to him in a flash, ever-
    bubbling( 冒泡的)spring. There is no resistailce: there is perfect assimilation.
    Then the child has,as it were,private lessons all the year round,while an adult language-student has
    each week a limited number of hours,which he generally shares with others.The child has another advan-
    tage:he hears the language in all possible situations,always accompanied by the right kind of gestures and
    facial expiessiotis.Here there is nothing unnatural,such as is often found in language lessons in schools,
    when noe talks aboult ice and snow in June or scorching heat in January.And what a child hears is generally
    what immediately interests him.Again and again,when his attempts at speech are successful,his desires are
    understood and fulfilled.
    Finally,though a child's"teachers"may not have been trained in language teaching,their relations
    with him are always close and personal.They take great pains to make their lessons easy.

    Adults'knowledge and mental powers hinder their complete mastery of a foreign language.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:C
    解析:
    句意:和学习外语的成人相比,儿童学习母语较容易。关键词是with ease。依据此关键词,可在文中第一段找到相关叙述:A little child without knowledge or experience often succeeds in a complete mastery of the language.A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers,in most cases, may end up with a faulty and inexact command.(一个没有知识和阅历的小孩可以完全掌握语言,而大多情况下,一个脑力健全的成人学语言可能会出错和掌握不准确),因此可推知,儿童学习母语比起成年人学习外语,学的要好得多,故此题为“正确”的。
    句意:成年人的知识和智力妨碍了他们对外语的准确掌握。关键词mental powers。依据此关键词在第一段的第三句中发现相关叙述:A grown-up person with fully developed mental powers , in most cases , may end up with a faulty and inexact command.(在大多数的情况下,一个脑力健全的成年人学习语言可能会出错和掌握不准确。)而该句的下一句提出了成年人和儿童在学习语言方面不同原因的问题,但原文中并没有提到“造成成年人掌握外语能力较差的原因”,故此题为“未提及”的。
    句意:儿童母语学得好的原因只是源于他们的学习环境。本题主要考查对事实细节的判断。根据文章第二段的段首句:“…the real answer in my opinion lies partly in the child him-self, partly in the behavior of the people around him.”由句中两个partly引出的两个原因,不难判断出题目中“solely”的绝对说法是不正确的,故此题为“错误”的。
    句意:早年大量的听力练习是儿童成功地学习母语的部分原因。关键词the first years of life.依据此关键词在第二段的第二句中发现相关句:In the first place ,the time of learning the mother tongue is the most favorable of all , namely , the first years of life. (早年学习母语的时间是最有益的。)接下来的一句说明了儿童期听力练习的方式,故此题为“正确”的。
    句意:儿童学习母语有常年上家教课的优势。关键词all the year round。依据此关键词在第三段的第一 句中发现相关句:Then the child has , as it were , private lessons all the year round.(儿童学习母语的优势好像是可以常年上家教课。)比较原句和问题句的结构,发现不同之处在于“as it were”的结构。实际上,as it were的含义是“好像是”。原文说“好像是”,而问题句说“是”,所以判断问题句“不正确”,故此题为“错误”的。
    句意:手势和面部表情可能会对儿童掌握母语有帮助。关键词:Gestures and facial cxpressions。依据此关键词在第三段的第二句中发现直接相关句:The child has another advan-tage:he hears the language in all possible situations,always accompanied by the right kind of ges-tures and facial expressions.(儿童学习母语的另一个优势是可以接触各种情景的母语,而且母语中还伴随了正确的手势和面部表情。)原句的说法与问题句一致,故此题为“正确”的。
    句意:就语言教学而言,教师与学生的亲密关系比学生受到专业的语言培训更重要。本题主要考查对事实细节的判断。根据文章最后一段的内容事实判断,并没有提到“教师与学生的亲密关系和学生受到语言培训的重要性”,故此题为“未提及”的。

    句意:儿童学习母语有常年上家教课的优势。借助常识判断该句的说法不正确。关键 词:all the year round,依据此关键词在第三段的第一句中发现直接相关句:Then the child has, as it were , private lessons all the year round.(儿童学习母语好像是常年上家教课。)比较原句和 问题句的结构,发现不同之处在于“as it were”的结构。因为部分结构的差异往往是设置了陷 阱。实际上,as it were的含义是“好像是”。所以原文说“好像是”,而题干句说“是”,所以判断 题干句“不正确”,故此题为“错误”的。
    句意:手势和面部表情可能会对儿童掌握母语有帮助。关键词:Gestures and facial ex- pressions,依据此关键词在第三段的第二句中发现直接相关句:The child has another advantage: he hears the language in all possible situations,always accompanied by the right kind of gestures and facial expressions.(儿童学习母语的另一个优势是可以接触各种情景的母语,而且母语中还伴 随了正确的手势和面部表情。)可见原句的说法与题干句一致,故此题为“正确”的。

  • 第22题:

    问答题
    Read the passage carefully and answer questions 1 to 5. Answer each question in a maximum of 10 words. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet  Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company’s plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superior will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United States where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent.  Thanks to a variety of relatively inexperience communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn’t generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.  The employee posted abroad who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm.  Questions:  1.What is the author’s attitude toward high-tech communications equipment?  2.What is becoming more and more important to promotion?  3.What does “out of sight and out of mind” (Line 2. Para. 3) probably mean?  4.According to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in   employing people today?  5.What is the advantage of employees having foreign language skills?

    正确答案:
    1.Positive 题干表面是问作者对于高科技通讯工具的态度,但我们从全文可以感觉到作者对现代通讯是持正面态度的,因而对于其通讯工具估计也是持肯定态度的。另外,第四段中的”communications devices”与题干中的communications equipment相对应。而它所在的这一段说:由于各种各样的相对来说并不贵重的通讯设备用于商业,连小企业也能进入国际市场了。能进入国际市场自然是好事,所以作者明显是持正面的态度的。
    2.overseas assignment 文章第一句话提到Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks.,可见答案为overseas assignment。
    3.missing opportunities for promotion when abroad 文章第3段中He or she can be sure…an assignment abroad.及If an employee can succeed…more prevalent.就是对no longer fear being out of sight and out of mind的解释。
    4.Ability to speak the client’s language 文章第二段重点陈述了掌握第二外语,尤其是客户的语言的重要性。
    5.better control the whole negotiation process 文章最后一段提到The employee…who speaks the country’s principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations…。
