Learning English as the second language for nonnative English speakers is not an easy task. It needs to spend a considerable time before you could speak or write the English language. There are only two ways to learn the English language or any other language you prefer. The first one needs a lot of money because of the requirements needed. If you notice, a person migrated(移民) to another country and stayed there for a couple of years and then going back to his home nonnative speaking country, the person became so familiar in speaking English. This is the most effective way of learning to speak and write a language unfamiliar to you. The learner learns the language because he/she is forced to do so because there is no other language being used. Not to mention that the learner should adapt to the environment. It is all started from listening. This is the process how language is acquired if you will stay long in a foreign country. The second one is the traditional way. You go to school or learning center specialized in teaching English as the second language. Obviously, this is cheaper than the first, but it needs a considerable time before you will learn to familiarize the language. Today, there are different language centers offering their services for people to learn the language in your own country. They brought all the materials needed because, compared to the first one, they’re affordable and reasonable. Nowadays, learning English as the second language is one of the global trends. Since the English language is used in most of the business transactions, you should be on it too. Otherwise you will not go along with the future trends that will arise. 【1】Now an affordable way to learn a foreign language but not to go abroad is to__． A.go to a foreign language school B.study in a language center C.communicate with more people D.invite a foreigner as a teacher 【2】The last paragraph mainly tells us ________． A.the global trends of the present world B.the difficulty of learning a second language C.the most important way of learning a second language D.the importance of learning a second language 【3】From the passage we can learn________． A.learning foreign languages is easy B.there is only one way to learn foreign languages C.family environment is very helpful for learning foreign languages D.learning foreign languages is good for your future career |

A walker seriously injured in a mountaintop lightning strike which killed two others is showing signs of improvement, the police have said. A major rescue operation was performed on Sunday following two strikes which hit the Brecon Beacons, South Wales. Two men died, while two others were taken to hospital. A police spokeswoman said, “A man in a serious condition in hospital, following simultaneous(同时发生的)incidents in the Brecon Beacons, has now improved and he is recovering. Officers are continuing to get in touch with the next of relatives of the dead men and enquiries are ongoing. All men were believed to be from England.” Mark Jones,of the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team, described the lightning strike as a freak accident, and something he had not been called out to in 30 years of service. The walking group Ramblers Cymru said that while incidents involving thunder and lightning were rare, electrical storms should be taken seriously by walkers. The organisation's delivery officer, Elly Hannigan Popp, said, “We'd advise everyone to check the weather forecast before starting a walk. If you hear thunder, see lightning or if your hair stands on end, postpone activities even if the sky looks blue and clear. Lightning will strike as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. Lightning can strike the same place repeatedly—especially tall, pointed, isolated objects.” “If there is no shelter you should keep moving. And if you become the tallest object, crouch(蹲)in the open twice as far away from the nearest pointed object as it is tall. Make yourself as small as possible, stay on your toes and keep your heels together, as it will allow electricity to go up one foot, through the heels and back into the ground through the other.” 【1】What can we learn about the victims of the incident? A.Both of the injured men are recovering slowly. B.The bodies of the two men haven't been found. C.The four men involved may be from the same country. D.The police cannot contact the two dead men's relatives. 【2】Why did the author quote the police spokeswoman in Paragraph 2? A.Because the accident is very serious. B.To announce where the victims come from. C.Because the police are looking into the accident. D.To tell the readers some facts of the incident. 【3】What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3? A.Unusual. B.Regular. C.Unimportant. D.Frightening. 【4】What do the last two paragraphs tell us? A.Harm done by lightning. B.Warnings from a delivery officer. C.First aid in a lightning incident. D.Safety tips on a lightning strike. |

Not long ago, an airplane was flying over New Zealand. There was a television camera crew on board. Suddenly,out in the night sky,a bright sphere (球体)came into view.Everyone on board saw it and everyone thought, “UFO”—Unidentified Flying Object. The camera crew went into action and started filming. That week people all over the world saw the film of the mysterious light on their television screens. What was it? Was it a spaceship full of visitors from another planet? The captain of the airplane and the film crew believed it was. Other observers had many different explanations. Some said it was Venus(金星). Others said it was just a trick(幻影)of light. An air traffic controller also saw it on his radar screen. He thought that a flock(一群) of birds was causing dots on his radar screen when the “UFO” appeared. Most astronomers now believe that what these people saw was almost certainly the planet Venus. At that time of year it was very bright and easy to see. And from a moving airplane it can appear to be moving fast. So far there is no proof that UFOs or spaceships from other planets do exist. These years investigators of UFOs have investigated thousands of sightings or occasions when people said they saw a UFO. Ninety percent of these turned out to have a simple explanation. However, it is a good idea to keep an open mind. Scientists in some countries are trying to persuade their governments to help them study UFOs. And they are planning to cooperate internationally on reporting and investigating sightings of UFOs. After all, it is quite possible that there is life out there in the universe. And if something is alive，it is quite possible that it will come to visit us. 【1】From the first paragraph,we can know that________. A.a television camera crew and some astronomers were on board the airplane when the “UFO” appeared B.they saw the “UFO” in the daytime C.the “UFO” is bright at night D.there are different opinions about Venus 【2】The captain and the camera crew believed that “UFO”was________. A.the planet Venus B.a visiting spaceship from another planet C.just a trick of light D.dots caused by a flock of birds 【3】Why do most astronomers now believe that what these people saw was almost certainly the planet Venus? A.Because they think at the time when it was seen,Venus should be very bright and easy to see. B.Because they saw it with their own eyes. C.Because they have proved UFOs or spaceships from Venus do exist. D.Because it was moving very fast when they saw it. 【4】What is the main idea of the passage? A.The UFO—an Unidentified Flying Object was filmed by a television crew. B.The discussion about what on earth the UFO is. C.Scientists studying the UFO are trying to ask the governments to offer them help. D.Life in the universe will come to visit our earth. |

Learning a foreign language can be interesting. 【1】 In order to increase your chances of success, it is important to consider which method of language learning will provide you with the most benefits. So think about the three ways of learning a language: selfstudy at home, attending classes and online courses. The main disadvantage of learning by yourself is that there is no one available to answer your questions. One way to deal with this is to make a list of your questions and ask for the help of a native speaker of the language regularly. 【2】 Learning a foreign language in a classroom is probably the most popular choice. The regularity(规律性) of the lessons will encourage you to attend classes. 【3】 In most cases, the enthusiasm of the other students may also encourage you to make progress. Online learning is the newest method of learning a foreign language. It suits both the students who prefer to learn alone and the students who may prefer to attend a class but are unable to do so. 【4】 It is also possible to ask questions and to communicate with other students online. Whichever method you choose, keep in mind the reasons why you are learning the language. 【5】 This will help you stay focused throughout the learning process. A.Many students prefer to learn by themselves. B.But it can also be difficult, frustrating and boring. C.You should also make sure you will benefit from it. D.You will be able to ask the teacher questions face to face. E.You may even decide to ask others sometimes to help your selfstudy. F.Online learning makes the whole process more interesting and fun. G.Your personality should be considered when deciding which method of learning to use. |
