Question

【題目】 Speaking English fluently (流暢地) might be difficult for you now. But all you need are the right methods and confidence (自信). I have prepared some advice for you.

Stop Being a Student

Stop thinking of yourself as someone who is learning English, and think of yourself as someone who speaks English. It’s a small change, but it will make you feel more confident and help you use the English you already know better.

Try to Learn Phrases

Speaking English fluently means being able to express your thoughts and feelings. Your goal is to speak English in full sentences, so why not learn it in full sentences? You’ll find that English is more useful in your life if you study whole phrases, rather than just simple words.

Studying English for an hour once a week isn’t usually enough to make any real progress. The best way to quickly improve your English is to spend at least a few minutes practicing every day.

Don’t Be Afraid to Make Mistakes

Sometimes it can be difficult to put all those rules and words together into a simple sentence. Don’t let the fear of saying something wrong stop you from speaking. Even if you think you’re making a mistake, keep speaking anyway. Most of the time, people will understand what you're trying to say. The more you speak, the easier it will be.

A.Practicing English every day helps you make greater progress.

本文講述了如何快速提高英語的一些方法：停止做學(xué)生，不要把自己看成是學(xué)英語的人，把自己看成是說英語的人；試著學(xué)習(xí)短語；熟能生巧，每天使用；不要害怕犯錯誤；

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“The best way to quickly improve your English is to spend at least a few minutes practicing every day.”可知快速提高英語的最好方法是每天至少花幾分鐘練習(xí)，與選項A內(nèi)容相符；根據(jù)“Speaking English fluently means being able to express your thoughts and feelings…You’ll find that English is more useful in your life if you study whole phrases, rather than just simple words.”可知流利地說英語意味著能夠表達你的思想和感情，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)英語在你的生活中更有用，如果你學(xué)習(xí)整個短語，而不僅僅是簡單的單詞，與選項B內(nèi)容不符；根據(jù)“think of yourself as someone who speaks English…it will make you feel more confident and help you use the English you already know better.”可知把自己看成是說英語的人，它會讓你感到更自信，幫助你更好地使用你已經(jīng)知道的英語，與選項C內(nèi)容相符；故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Don’t let the fear of saying something wrong stop you from speaking. Even if you think you’re making a mistake, keep speaking anyway.”可知不要因為害怕說錯話而停止說話。即使你認(rèn)為自己犯了錯誤，也要繼續(xù)說下去，故選A。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“The best way to quickly improve your English is to spend at least a few minutes practicing every day.”可知快速提高英語的最好方法是每天至少花幾分鐘練習(xí)，所以此處最合適是“熟能生巧”，故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容“I have prepared some advice for you.”可知是對英語學(xué)習(xí)給出的一些建議，可推測出應(yīng)該是來自學(xué)習(xí)報，故選C。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容“peaking English fluently (流暢地) might be difficult for you now. But all you need are the right methods and confidence, I have prepared some advice for you.”可知流暢地說英語現(xiàn)在可能對你是困難的。但所有你需要的是正確的方法和信心，給出了些建議；結(jié)合“Stop Being a Student Stop thinking of yourself as someone who is learning English”可推測出感興趣的是一個想提高英語的學(xué)生，故選C。
