They neednt have repeated earli

15、er materials. B. They have bad habits rather than bad memories. C. They should make continuous effort to train memory. D. They can improve their memory by working hard.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 Students often complain that they have bad memories. In the past, I have always commented that students, no m

16、atter what their age, do not have bad habits. They do not have regular study habits. They do not use the language whenever they have the opportunity. They do not make a continuous effort to think in the language. They fail to repeat earlier material at planned intervals. A lot of this is true, but t

17、he reasons for poor memory in language learning may be much more complex. It is not always the fault of the student. A lot of the time, the reason for poor recall may lie in teaching methods which from the very beginning give too much emphasis to translation and reading. The criticism I would make h

18、ere is that translation and reading are applications of language. They require conscious effort. But we are not conscious of our own language, of the mental process of using it. We use it effortlessly. So why should we operate in the conscious mind when we first approach a second language? Surely, t

19、hat will be slow and laborious. It asks too much of our working memory which, because it is so limited, will fail us. At that point, the student complains of a bad memory. But he Js wrong. He is in fact suffering from bad teaching and/or learning methods. If you ask a student to translate a sentence

20、, he must operate a lot of the time in his own language. If he does not understand a word, he will go to his dictionary and look it up. This is a useful thing to do if you are translating, but a completely useless process for learning a second language, for the simple reason that his strong first la

21、nguage will interfere with and suppress the weaker second. In fact, anything of the weaker language is never remembered from the process of translation. The same criticism applies to word lists that contain both first and second languages, and to books which interweave the two languages. Again, the

22、student complains he can hardly recall anything. And once again, the problem lies not in himself, but in inappropriate conscious learning methods. What did the speaker comment the past when he heard his students complain about their bad memories?(2).What does the speaker suggest about language learn

23、ing? A. We should adopt some methods of unconscious learning. B. Slow as it is, adopt some methods of unconscious learning. C. Our working memory can be improved by doing a lot of reading. D. It is necessary to learn consciously by trying word lists.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 What does the speaker sugge

24、st about language learning?(3).Which word, according to the speaker, can describe the process of language use? A. Laborious B. Conscious. C. Appropriate. D. Effortless（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.解析：解析 Which word, according to the speaker, can describe the process of language use?（分数：3.00）(1). A.650 million dol

25、lars. B.560 million dollars. C.40 million dollars. D.50 million dollars.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.解析：听力原文 The largest and most popular shopping mall in the United States is the Mall of America. It is in Bloomington, Minnesota, in the north-central part of the country near the twin cities of Minneapolis and S

26、aint Paul. It opened in nineteen ninety-two and cost six hundred and fifty million dollars to build. Each year about forty million people visit the Mall of America.

27、l. There are more than forty hotels within eight kilometers. The Mall of America has more than five hundred and twenty stores. It also has more than fifty places to eat. If you lined up all the stores side by side, they would cover a distance of almost seven kilometers. If you stayed only ten minute

28、s in each store, it would take over eighty-six hours to complete your visit. When the owners designed the mall, they wanted it to be more than just a place to shop and eat.

29、five rides including several roller coasters. Another popular part of the mall is the Underwater Adventures Aquarium. It holds about five thousand sea animals.
