9、h countries are happier than poor countries.二阅读AIf you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language for several hours each day. So it may become part of your “inner speech.” In other words, you start thinking in that language. Your mind stops trying

10、 to translate things from your native language into the second language. But most of the English learners live in places where English is not the main language. This may be true for you. You may not have many chances to practice English. You may even be self-taught.Thinking in English really helps!

11、It is not very difficult, but it does need practice. Here we will share some mental exercises. A good first step is to think in words. Look around you. What do you see? In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings. Charles Thomas has taught English for over 10 years. He tells his stude

12、nts to name the things that they see around them, wherever they are.Another exercise Thomas suggest is describing in your mind objects you dont know the words for. An example would be if you couldnt think of the word “garage”. Thomas says, “If youre looking at your house and you see your garage, but

13、 you cant think of the name in English. You can say, The place inside where I put my car or you can say, Its next to my house. I keep things there.”The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, “Its such a beautiful d

14、ay” and “People are playing sports with their friends.” You can also describe your daily activities. Thomas asks his students to describe their day using the simple present verb form. So, they would think to themselves things like, “I put on my shirt” and “He drives the bus.”How much time should you

15、 spend on these exercises? Thomas says you do a little every day. “When you make things a habit, then it just pops up into your mind without thinking and then, before you know it, really, youre thinking in English.”1. When a second language becomes part of your “inner speech”, _.A. most people aroun

16、d you speak the languageB. you start thinking in the languageC. you translate things from your native language into itD. you learn the language by yourself2. “The place inside where I put my car” is an example for _A. naming objects in your surroundingsB. thinking in simple sentencesC. describing ob

17、jects you dont know the words forD. describing your daily activities3. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Spend your time on exercisesB. Teach yourself a second languageC. Train your brain to think in EnglishD. Practice English wherever you are【答案】1. B 2. C 3. C【解析】这是一篇说明文。主

18、要介绍了在语言环境中学习语言的重要性，并给出了具体的学习方法。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“So it may become part of your “inner speech.” In other words, you start thinking in that language. ”可知，当第二种语言成为你“内在语言”的一部分时，你就会开始用这种语言思考。故选B项。【2题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Another exercise Thomas suggest is describing in your mind objects you dont know the word

19、s for. ”可知，此句是总述句，因此“The place inside where I put my car”“我停车的地方”是用来支撑总述句“托马斯建议描述你的头脑中一些你不知道的东西”的例子。故选C项。【3题详解】主旨大意题。通过阅读全文可知，在一个大多数人都说你正在学习的语言的地方，你可以每天使用这种语言几个小时，然而大多数人不具备这样的条件，全文为这类人提供了具体的学习方法，目的要达到用这种语言进行思考。所以C项Train your brain to think in English“训练你的大脑用英语思考”作为文章的标题最能概括出全文主旨。故选C项。BRobots have ta
