26、 your listening.Since you have lots of inputs輸入 in your mind,you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say.This never means that you should not practice listening.For listening,you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children.Their languages are easy.Or if you a

35、vation動(dòng)機(jī),we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest.Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country.To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation,especially if it has failed in the

36、 past.Therefore,a different method may help because it is different.Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining 保持 or increasing motivation.Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout,but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest about half

37、way through the ten weeks.This led us to a major rethink,so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.25What is the passage mainly about?A.Foreign students have more problems.B.There are many ways to improve English.C.Teaching should meet students needs.D.Engl

43、ng babies simple signs to communicate before they can talk.Baby sign language has been more popular in recent years.The movie,Meet the Fockers,where Robert De Niros character teaches his young grandson to sign,makes it well developed.Babies generally begin to talk between 12 and 15 months,but babies

44、 can use sign language to communicate before they learn how to speak.“We know they are learning language faster than they are able to show you with their speech production because that system takes a long time to develop,says Gerald McRoberts,director of developmental research at the Haskins Laborat

45、ories,a private,non-profit research institute on speech and language.“They are understanding words before they are able to say them.From around 16 to 18 months,they might say 50 words but understand 200.They understand short sentences well,says McRoberts.Studies have shown deaf children learn to use

47、 whole passage,the first paragraph is written to . A.show how Tricia Campbell taught her son “flowerB.show Gregory can use baby sign languageC.introduce baby sign languageD.explain that baby sign language is easy to learn解析:通讀全文可知,本文的話題是嬰兒手勢(shì)語(yǔ),第一段旨在以實(shí)例引出本文的話題。答案:C30The underlined word “it in Par

48、agraph 2 probably refers to . A.how to teach a grandsonB.making baby sign language meaningfulC.the movement of teaching babies sign languageD.the movie,Meet the Fockers解析:聯(lián)絡(luò)上文可知,本段落主要講述父母教嬰兒手勢(shì)語(yǔ)在近幾年非常流行,而這部電影使這個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)得到了更好的開展。答案:C31Many parents teach their babies sign language mainly to . A.mak

49、e their babies cleverB.make their babies learn English fastC.communicate with their babiesD.make their babies interested in language解析:由文章第二段“.to communicate before they can talk以及下文屢次提到communicate可知,父母教孩子手勢(shì)語(yǔ)是為了與孩子交流。答案:C32Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.Greg
