Whe

20、never I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English. First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves

21、due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make m

22、istakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY（準(zhǔn)確性）. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your ai

23、m is fluency. You want to get your message across ,to talk to someone in English ,as quickly and as well as you can ,even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense ,but it doesnt matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

24、The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking. Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve

25、their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go. If you do not use your English beyond the classroom, you will forget wha

26、t English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more. 41It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _. Adont be fluency . Just be accuracy Bdont be nervous ,dont be shy . Just write! Cdont be afraid of making mistakes . Just speak!D

27、dont be shy ,dont be fluency. Just listen and write!42The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “ ”. Amore hurry, less speed Bbetter late than never Csilence is gold Dpractice makes perfect43The text is most probably taken from a_. Ateachers diary Breport on study Csports newspaper Dmov

28、ie magazine B Terraforming (Earth-forming) other planets, also known as planetary engineering (行星工程), seems like a task still centuries away for mankind to accomplish. However, it is a vigorous topic that attracts both popular and scientific interest. Why should the possibility of terraforming other

29、 planets be studied when it may be centuries before we know enough to even decide if its a good idea? Mankind is getting more and more hard facts about other planets. The atmosphere of Venus has been explored; robots have surveyed the surface of Mars; Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn have been studied by

30、 spacecraft. Speculations have been answered; new questions have been raised, and enough hard data is right now becoming available to allow us to make the first attempt of planetary engineering. In the past, people with excellent ideas about terraforming have kept them to themselves, or buried them

31、in a desk drawer because they did not realize that anyone else was interested. But now, a wide circle of people has begun to do this kind of work. For instance, NASA funded a project on transforming Mars. There are several strong reasons which demand that the possibilities of terraforming be studied

32、 carefully. First, its an exciting idea of a possible future for human beings. Such thinking has a valuable role in providing options for our future directions. Secondly, the techniques of terraforming will also help contemporary technologies in weather and climate control. Thirdly, such study may a

33、ssist us in detecting any possible existence of extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI, The Search for Extraterrsstial Intelligence, 地外文明搜索) and alien (異己的) civilizations on other planets. Though the mission is far beyond our reach at the moment, we should at least keep our options open. Through debate

34、 and study on this subject, the possibility of rebuilding other planets to make them suitable homes for people may come true some day in the future.44. According to the context, whats the meaning of the word “speculation” in paragraph 2?A. The act of discussing something with a group of people.B. Th

35、e act of studying and researching.C. The act of guessing without knowing all the facts about something.D. The acting of writing letters to a certain organization.45. Why did people keep the idea of terraforming to themselves in the past?A. They thought no one else would show interest in the idea.B.

36、They gradually came to find the idea crazy.C. They thought the idea would never come true.D. They had few resources for further study on this topic.46. Which is NOT the reason to support the study of terraforming?A. Even if we dont succeed in terraforming, such study may help us to better understand

37、 technologies such as climate and weather control.B. Such study may explore a new direction of development for human beings.C. Such study may enable us to find the lives on other planets.D. As the resources on Earth are being drained, its very urgent to study how to migrate (遷移) to other planets.47.

38、 Whats the main idea of the article?A. Its highly possible that terraforming other planets will come true so we should increase investing in this program. B. Even if the idea of terraforming other planets may take centuries to realize, we have many reasons to support such studies. C. Terraforming ot

39、her planets is the best option for human beings future. D. More and more people are taking planetary engineering as their occupation. C If you really want to win the weight-loss battle, learn to strike a balance-not just on your plate, but also in how you spend your free time. A new study finds that

40、 people who spend more time in front of computers have a higher obesity (肥胖) risk, even if they think they get enough exercise during the week. This study found only an association between weight and computer use. “Is it that you become overweight because you use the Internet a lot, or is it that ov

41、erweight people simply use the Internet more?” says Corneel Vandelanotte, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at Central Queensland University. Its hard to say. But one likely explanation, she adds, is that “people who use the Internet a lot also engage more in other sedentary (需要久坐的) behavior, and th

42、at is probably the main cause of their being more likely to be overweight.” Formal exercise can only partly make up for all the time you spend sitting around. “If I go running three times a week for one hour, but watch TV the rest of my time, I will still be very sedentary, ” says Vandelanotte. “I m

43、ight be fit, which is definitely a good thing, but it might also be that Im still not spending enough energy on a daily basis.” Its all about striking a balance between sitting down and moving around. Here are a few ways to keep computer time from undermining a healthy lifestyle: Set a timer for you

44、r computer use, television watching or anything that keeps you on the sofa. Set time limits that will allow you to enjoy the websites or TV shows you like, without leaving time for unnecessary channel surfing that keeps you off your feet. Be an active viewer. When youre watching TV, spend at least s

45、ome of the time doing something physical.48. According to the study, too much computer use _. A. decides the weight-loss battle B. may cause users overweight C. should be replaced by exercise D. may cause you to eat too much49. In Vandelanottes opinion, the frequent users of the Internet_. A. often

46、sit at home B. lack formal exercise C. tend to stay inactive D. are overweight people50. In paragraph 3, Vandelanotte takes herself as an example to _. A. prove good health is important B. tell about her habit of exercise C. show how she makes good use of her spare time D. stress the balance between

47、 movement and sitting51. What does the underlined word “undermining” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. weakening B. entering C. forming D. involving D BANGKOK - The tiny island nation of Tuvalu has promised to do its part for climate change by fueling its economy entirely from renewable sources by 20

48、20. The South Pacific nation of 12,000 people is part of a movement of countries and cities committed to going climate neutral. Since February 2008, 10 nations have promised to reduce their emission(釋放)of greenhouse gases as part of a goal of reaching zero emissions in the next decade. None of these

49、 commitments alone is expected to make a significant difference in the fight to cut heat-trapping gases. But the moves can inspire bigger emitters(排放者) like the United States to take further steps to limit their carbon footprints. Climate scientists have urged rich countries to reduce emissions from

50、 2005 levels by between 25 percent and 40 percent by 2020 to avoid the worst effect of warming. For its parts, Tuvalu hopes to replace the fossil fuels that are imported by ship with solar energy and wind power soon. Tuvalu already emits almost no greenhouse gases. But because of climate change, man

51、y South Pacific islands see worsening flooding. The country is just 10 square miles in size, with most of its land less than a meter above sea level. So far, Tuvalu has installed (安裝) a 40-kiliowatt solar energy system with the help of Japans Kansai Electric Power Co. and Tokyo Electric Power Compan

52、y. The Tuvalu government is working to expand the $410,000 project from 40 to 60 kilowatts, and will extend solar power to outer islands. “We thank those countries who are helping Tuvalu reduce its carbon footprint,” Public Utilities and Industries Minister Kausea Natano said. “And we look forward t

53、o the day when our nation offers an example to all- powered entirely by natural resources such as the sun and the wind.”52. According to the passage, the climate neutral movement _. A. will last a long time B. was started by Tuvalu C. is a great success in the West D. has no effect on big countries5

54、3. What is the main energy source in Tuvalu at present? A. Solar energy B. Wind powder C. Imported fossil fuels D. Local fossil fuels54. For Tuvalu, the biggest trouble now is that_. A. it lacks clean power equipment B. it lacks enough natural resources C. Climate change affects its economy D. it is under threat from rising sea level55. What can we learn from the passage? A. It is
