20、oken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have 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 wor

21、ds to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited 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 mistak

22、es. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY 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. How

23、ever, 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 though 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 f

24、or 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 necessary for you to start speaking. Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out

25、 opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains 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 clas

26、sroom, 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. 41It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _. Adont be fluency . Just be accuracy Bdont be nervous ,dont be shy . Just write! Cdont be afraid of maki

27、ng mistakes . Just speak!Ddont be shy ,dont be fluency. Just listen and write!42The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “ ”. Amore hurry, less speed Bbetter late than never Csilence is gold Dpractice makes perfect43The text is most probably taken from a_. Ateachers diary Breport on st

28、udy Csports newspaper Dmovie magazine B Terraforming (Earth-forming) other planets, also known as planetary engineering (行星工程), seems like a task still centuries away for mankind to accomplish. However, it is a vigorous topic that attracts both popular and scientific interest. Why should the possibi

29、lity 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 hard facts about other planets. The atmosphere of Venus has been explored; robots have surveyed the surface of Mars; Mercury, Jupiter and S

30、aturn 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 t

31、hemselves, or buried them in a desk drawer because they did not realize that anyone else was interested. But now, a wide circle of people has begun to do this kind of work. For instance, NASA funded a project on transforming Mars. There are several strong reasons which demand that the possibilities of terraforming be studied carefully. First, its an exciting idea of a possible future for human beings. Such thinking has a valuable ro
