（本卷满分100分）

一、阅读理解（每小题2分，共16分）

A

Learning English well is a great challenge, but with the help of technology(科技) it can be as easy as a piece of cake.

As well as the classroom, teachers and textbooks, the Internet, TV and radio programmes can play an active role in helping learn English. The Internet is full of rich and up­to­date information. English learners might wish to try http://www.in2english.com.cn. It provides cultural information about Britain.

Another useful website for middle school students and teachers is www.21se.com.cn. Besides reading 21st Century School Edition online, students are also invited to put their views on different topics up on the website.

Compared with the Internet, TV programmes have their own advantages(优点): one does not have to sit at a computer and the audio and visual effects can even be relaxing.

One popular English­learning programme is called Modern English. This focuses on spoken English in practical situations such as taking photos and shopping.

If you watch Beijing Television Channel 8, you might see a programme titled Study Abroad. Cartoons are used to explain how to use the word in daily life. Listening to the radio may not be a new way to learn English but it is easy.

China Radio International airs a programme called Studio Classroom at 6：30 am every day. This 25­minute programme is aimed at middle school students and covers subjects from current news to travel and history, all in simple language.

1. The author wants the readers to know that learning English  ________．

A. is very difficult for us

B. is very easy for us

C. is neither easy nor difficult

D. can be much easier with the help of technology

2. One can practise spoken English in situations in  ________.

A. Studio Classroom         B. 21st Century School Edition

C. Study Abroad             D. Modern English

3. According to the author, TV programmes are better than programmes on the Internet because they ________.

A. can let you hear and watch the programmes much better

B. cost you nothing

C. have more English passages

D. have English courses whenever you need them

4. What's the main idea of this passage?

A. It introduces some websites of learning English.

B. It introduces some TV and radio programmes of learning English.

C. It gives suggestions on learning English in modern ways.

D. It explains different English courses.

B

English is a very interesting language. It has borrowed words from many other languages. Immigrants (移民) coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language, which have kept their original pronunciation. “Coolie” and “kowtow” were taken from the Chinese language, “kamikaze” from the Japanese, “shampoo” from India, “blitz” from German, “amigo” and “Los Angeles” from Spanish and so on.

Many students have studied English for years, some as many as eight. However, some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English. Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them. In our oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native English speakers.  For this reason, because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible (易理解的) English, we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes. Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine (罚款) in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English. If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese, they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine. It is everyone's job to enforce the English­Only rule. It is for your benefit. It is because we want to accustom (使习惯于) your ears to hearing English.

Other subjects may be learned only from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT! Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun, so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out. Enjoy your classes.

5. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.

A. the difficulty of learning English

B. different words in different languages

C. how interesting and various English is

D. the immigrants' contributions to America

6. The underlined word “discern” in Para. 2 can be replaced by “________”.

A. notice         B. understand    C. hear           D. speak

7. In the author's opinion, the only way to learn a language well is to ________.

A. listen to it on the radio

B. learn it from books

C. play games with it

D. speak it often

8. The article is probably aimed at ________.

A. Japanese students         B. German students

C. Chinese students         D. Indian students
