Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not h

22、ave to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limi

23、ted vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLU

24、ENCY NOT ACCURACY（准确性）. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across ,to talk to someone in English ,as quickly and as well as you can ,even t

25、hough sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense ,but it doesnt matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was n

26、ecessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always rem

27、ains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.If you do not use your English beyond the classroom, you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.46It can

28、be inferred from the third paragraph that _.Adont be fluency . Just be accuracyBdont be nervous ,dont be shy . Just write!Cdont be afraid of making mistakes . Just speak!Ddont be shy ,dont be fluency. Just listen and write!47The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “ ”.Amore hurry, les

29、s speed Bbetter late than neverCsilence is gold Dpractice makes perfect48The text is most probably taken from a_.Ateachers diary Breport on study Csports newspaper Dmovie magazineBTerraforming (Earth-forming) other planets, also known as planetary engineering (行星工程), seems like a task still centurie

30、s away for mankind to accomplish. However, it is a vigorous topic that attracts both popular and scientific interest. Why should the possibility of terraforming other planets be studied when it may be centuries before we know enough to even decide if its a good idea? Mankind is getting more and more

31、 hard facts about other planets. The atmosphere of Venus has been explored; robots have surveyed the surface of Mars; Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn have been studied by spacecraft.Speculations have been answered; new questions have been raised, and enough hard data is right now becoming available to allow us to make the first attempt of planetary engineering.In the past, people with excellent ideas about terraforming have kept them to themselves, or buried them in a desk
