Children are greatly differentin the amount oflistening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners. Mostchildren will“ obey ”spoken instructions some time before

22、they can speak , though the word“ obey ” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the children. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.Any attempt to study the development from the no

23、ises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain,friendliness, and so on. But since these can t be said to sh

24、ow the baby s intention to commuthey can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. Itis agreed, too, that from about threemonths they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation( 模仿 ) leads on to deliberate( 有意的 ) imi

25、tation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what aparticular person means by it a particul

26、ar situation; and it is clear that what a child means by aword will change as he gains more experience of the world.Thus the use, at seven months, of“ mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to spe

27、ak for himself. I doubt, however, whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds.46. Before children start speaking_.A. they need equal amount of listeningB. they need different amounts of listeningC. they are all eager to cooperate with the

28、adults by obeying spoken instructions.47. Children who start speaking late_.A. may have problems with their listeningB. probably do not hear enough language spoken around themC. usually pay close attention to what they hearD. often take a long time in learning to listen properly48. A baby s first no

29、ises are.A. an expression of his moods and feelingsB. an early form languageC. a sign that he means to tell you somethingD. an imitation of the speech of adults49.Theproblemofdecidingatwhatpointa baby simitationscan be consideredasspeech_.A. is important because words have different meanings for dif

30、ferent peopleB. is not especially important because the changeover takes place graduallyC. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with ageD. is one that should be completely ignored because children s use of words is often meaningless50. The speaker implies_.A

31、. parents can never hope to teach their children new soundsB. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speakC. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quicklyD. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitatingBSo long as teachers failto distinguish( 區(qū)

32、別 ) between teaching and learning, they willcontinue to undertake to do for children what only children can do for themselves. Teachingchildren to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent inactivities about reading. Douglas insists thating cannot be“taughtread

33、directly and schools shouldstop trying to do the impossible”.Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function.The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible forchildrento plan cleverly the most efficient( 有效

34、的 ) system for teaching themselves to read.Teaching is also a public activity: it can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individualdoes to understand the world of printedlanguage. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is no

35、t open to public scrutiny.If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teachingthat will aid the child in the long search for knowledge? Smith has one principle rule for all teaching instructions. “ Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meani

36、ngful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. ”When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them properly, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is got rid of. Learning to read is made easier when teachers cr

37、eate an environment where children are given the chance to solve the problem of learning to read by learning.51. The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the first paragraph is that_.A. too much time is spent in teaching about readingB. reading tasks are given with little guidanceC. it is

38、 one of the most difficult school coursesD. students spend limited hours in reading52. The teaching of reading will be successful if _.A. teachers can make their teaching activities observableB. teachers can teach their students how to readC. teachers can improve conditions at school for the student

39、sD. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading53. The word“ scrutiny” (paragraph 3 ) most probably means“ _ ”.A. unbeliefB. controlC. inquiryD. observation54 . the main idea of the passage is that _.A. reading is more complicated than believableB. reading ability is something g

40、ained rather than taughtC. teachers could encourage students to read as widely as possibleD. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read第四部分書面表達(dá)第一節(jié)閱讀表達(dá)（共5 小題；每小題2 分 ,滿分10 分）閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題。（請注意問題后的字?jǐn)?shù)要求）You are not given false informationfirst that sounds as if it c

41、ould be the answer to thequestion. An instance( 例證 ) of this may be that the information given matches one of the answers,but does not meet the criterion( 標(biāo)準(zhǔn) ) given in the question the person could be talking about lastweek when the question asks about next week. The correct informationusually, if

42、not always,comes afterwards.Nearly right is not the same thing as right; examinations often give information that soundsmore or less correct, but is in some way unsatisfactory. Adverbs and modals(情態(tài)動詞 ) are oftenused to send you the wrong way; thelistening text might use“ She may well beandlatethe”q

43、uestion “ She will be late wrong answer. It has to be _.” this is not an exact match and consequently(結(jié)果)could easily be theIn longer listening passages, they often try to lend you to lose concentration by having quite long sections where no information relevant( 有關(guān)的 ) to the exercise is given. But

44、then out of the blue (unexpectedly) they hit you with a couple of answers in quick turns.Although most longer listening passages begin with an introduction that lets you get into the flow before they start testing you, you can not depend on this; the first word could in theory( 理論 ) be the answer to

45、 the first question.Examiners will often place a word directly from the passage in a wrong answer and use a synonym( 同義詞 ) in the correct answer. Check the meaning and do not rely on word recognition to get the right answer.55. In what situation will the passage be useful? (please answer within 10 words)_56. Please fill in the blank with proper words and phrases. (please answer within 10 words)_57. Translate the underlined sentence in the passage into Chinese._58.
