28、s cash one of the two checks left in mycheck book. Of course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-cas ing card is no Ion ger valid, so itwon ' t b e much use to you.Actually I don ' t mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families un dersta nd only t

29、oo well what it means to be short of cash. However, I don' t suppose it went very faram ong the three of you. Sorry about that!I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. There were all kinds of papers in it, and no tes and thi ngs that I really n eed. I really t

30、hi nk that was very incon siderate of you. Imea n, how would you like something like that to happen to you?Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn' t even an expensive one, just a pla in, old brow n leathershoulder bag. You probably dumped it in the n earest rubbish bin or threw it in to the

31、 bushes. We'velooked around, of course, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop.I'm not really angry with you. I know how the pressures of modernliv ing can affect us, but I am sadat the loss of my pers onal thin gs. Ifeel violated and helpless. The police were very icy,and

32、 they justshrugged their shoulders. “ It happens all the time, the y told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But I ' ve lost just alit tle more faith in human nature . And as myyoung son said when I told him what hadhappened, “Why?Mummy, why us? I cou Idn't answer that question. I wonder if

To call people ' s attention to their belongings.D. To complain about the fall of morality.BAlthough many Chin ese stude nts say that

36、 their kno wledge of En glish grammar is good ,most would admit that their spoken English is poor .Whe never I speak to a Chin ese stude nt they always say, “ My spoke n En glish is poor. However,their spoke n En glish does not have to rema in“ poor ! I would like to suggest that there maybe somerea

37、sons for their problems with spoke n En glish.First,theyfail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the betteranswer is to expand theirvocabulary. However,you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive.Others will follow you as long

38、 as you use the wordsthat you know.Second,they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes whe n they are speak ing because they are shy and n ervous .Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCYNOTACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules

39、for grammar and using the right words and spell ing them correctly .However,i n speak ing your aim is flue ncy. You want to get your messageacross ,to talk to some one in En glish ,as quickly and as well as you can ,eve n though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense ,but it doesn' t matter

40、 because the personyou are speak ing to will un dersta nd you and make allowa nces留出余地，體諒for any mistakes he hears.The third reas on is that not eno ugh atte nti on is paid to liste ning.Youhave one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speak ing.Fourth,mostChinese stud

41、entsarereactiverather thanproactiveIanguage learnersnsteadof activelyseeking out opportunities toimprove theirspoke n En glishtheypassively wait forspeak ingopportunitiesto cometo them and wonder why their English always remainspoor .If you have this proactive outlook ,then you will see English oppo

42、rt un ities wherever you go.If you do not use your En glish bey ond the classroom you will forget what En glish you kn ow .Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak En glish better by speak ing En glish more.60. What is most probably the writer ' s purpose in writing the passage?A.

43、 To improve your read ing.B. To improve your spoke n En glish.C. To improve your liste ning.D. To improve yourvocabulary.61. It can be in ferred from the third paragraph that .A. don' t be afraid of making mistakes .Just speak!B. don' t be nervous ,don ' t be shy .Just write!C. don'

44、t be flue nc y .Just be accuracyD. don' t be shy ,don ' t be fluency. Just listen and write!62. The text is most probably taken from a .A. teacher ' s diaryB. report on studyC. sports n ewspaperD. movie magaz ineCTo err is human . To blame the other guy is even more humanCommon sense is

45、not all that com monWhy tell the truth whe n you can come up with a good excuse?These three popular misquotes戲謔的引語(yǔ) are meant to be jokes,and yet they tell us a lot about humannature . To err, or to makemistakes, is in deed a part of being huma n, but it seems that most people don' t want to acce

46、pt the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the naturalthing to do . The original quoteabout human nature went like this, “ Toerr is human,to forgive,divine 神圣的. This saying mirrors an ideal:people should be forgiving of others' mistakes .Instead, we tend to dothe opposite - find some o

47、n eelse to pass the blame on to . However, tak ing responsibility for something that went wrong is a making of great maturity .Commosense is what wecall clear thought . Having commonsense means hav ing a good gen eral pla n that will make things work well, and it also means stayi ng with the pla n.

48、Com mon sense tells you that you take anumbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine . Common sense does not seem to be com mon for large orga ni zati ons, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of

49、 everything . People say that in a large compa ny, “ the right hand d oes not know what the left hand is doingAnd what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creati ng a work of art? One of the com mon problems with making excuses is that people, especially young pe

50、ople, get the idea that i t' s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary直接推論to that: if good excuse is “ good even if it isn ' t honest, then where is the place of the truth?63. According to the author, what is a sign of a man' s maturity?A. Doi ng things in his ow

51、n way.B. Bearing responsibility for his mistakes.C. Making as few mistakes as possible .D. Thinking seriously about his wrongdoing.64. Which of the followi ng is NOT based on com mon sen se?A.
