阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳答案。 A
In order to know a foreign language thoroughly（完全地），four things are necessary． First， we must understand the language when we hear it spoken． Secondly， we must be able to speak it ourselves， with confidence（自信） and without hesitation（犹豫）． Thirdly， we must do much reading． Finally， we must be able to write it． We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar．
There are no shortcuts to success in language learning． A good memory is a great help， but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book． It is not much learning by heart long lists（一览表） of words and their meanings， studying the dictionary and so on． We must learn by using the language．
If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized， we are not really learning the language． We must “learn through use．” Practice is important． We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can．
46． The most important things to learn a foreign language are ＿＿＿＿＿. A． understanding and speaking
B． listening， speaking， reading and writing C． writing and understanding D． memorizing and listening
47． Someone hears and writes English very well， but he speaks it very badly． This
is because ＿＿＿＿＿．
A． he doesn’t understand the language when he hears it spoken B． he doesn’t have a good memory
C． he always remembers lists of words and their meanings
7
D． he often hesitates（犹豫） to practise speaking it
48． One can never learn a foreign language well by ＿＿＿＿＿． A． doing much practice B． studying the dictionary C． learning through use D． using the language 49． Which is the most important in learning a foreign language？ A． A good memory． B． Speaking． C． Practice． D． Writing． 50． “Learn through use” means ＿＿＿＿＿＿． A． we use a language in order to learn it B． we learn a foreign language in order to use it
C． we can learn a language well while we are keeping using it D． B and C． B
What is language for？ Some people seem to think it’s for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists， the better． That’s wrong． Language is for the exchange（交流） of ideas and information． It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely． Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules， but they can’t speak correctly or fluently（流利地）． They are afraid of making mistakes． One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language． Native speakers make mistakes and break rules， too． Bernard Saw once wrote， “Foreigners often speak English too correctly． ” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make． They’re English mistakes in the English language． And if enough native speakers break a rule， it is no longer a rule． What used to be wrong becomes right． People not only make history， they make language． But a people can only make its own language． It can’t make another people’s language． So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar， but they shouldn’t overdo（做过头） it． They should put communication（交际） first． 51． Language is used to ＿＿＿＿＿．
A． express oneself
8
B． practise grammar rules C． talk with foreigners only D． learn lists of words
52． Generally， when an American or an Englishman speaks English， he ＿＿＿＿＿．
A． never makes mistakes B． often makes mistakes C． can’t avoid making mistakes D． always makes mistakes
53． “Foreigners often speak English too correctly． ” This sentence means that ＿＿＿＿＿．
A． foreigners speak correct English B． foreigners speak incorrect English
C． foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules D． foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English 54． If too many native speakers break a rule，＿＿＿＿＿＿． A． what they use will become right B． they are against the law C． they should say sorry to others D． they will become heroes
55． When we speak a foreign language， we should ＿＿＿＿＿＿ ． A． speak in Chinese way B． speak by the rules C． speak to native speakers
9
D． not be afraid of making mistakes Keys: 46－50 BDBCD 51－55 ACCAD 4
