12．Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good，most would admit that their spoken English is poor．Whenever I speak to a Chinese student，they always say，"My spoken English is poor．"（36）DI 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 due to a limited vocabulary．（37）CHowever，you can speak with a limited vocabulary，if you choose a positive attitude．Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know．
（38）ASometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous．Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY．Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across．But to talk to someone in English，as quickly and well as you can，even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense，but it doesn't matter．（39）FThe third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening．You have one mouth but two ears!All the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking．
Fourth，most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive（主動的） language learners．Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor．（40）G
A．Second，they are afraid of making mistakes．
B．They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time．
C．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary．
D．However，their spoken English does not have to remain"poor"!
E．The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned．
F．The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears．
G．If you have this proactive outlook，then you will see English opportunities wherever you go．
分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了如何來提高英語口語水平的方法，作者給出了自己的建議和意見．
解答 36．D．推理判斷題．后文講到I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English．作者將給出一些原因來說明口語不好的問題，故此處意思轉(zhuǎn)折來表示他的口語沒有必要一直不好，故選D
37．C．推理判斷題．前文講到due to a limited vocabulary．由于詞匯量的限制，故此處應(yīng)為最好的方法就是擴大詞匯量，故選C
38．A．推理判斷題．后文講到Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous．有時候他們犯錯誤是由于緊張和害羞，所以此處應(yīng)該是不要害怕犯錯誤，故選A
39．F．推理判斷題．前文講到even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense，but it doesn't matter．盡管有時候你會用錯誤的單詞或是時態(tài)，但是沒有關(guān)系，故此處為別人會理解你的錯誤并且會包容你的錯誤；故選F．
40．G．推理判斷題．前文講到they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them 有些人被動的等到說英語的機會，所以此處應(yīng)該是我們應(yīng)該積極主動去尋找機會，然后你會發(fā)現(xiàn)機無處不在，故選G
