9.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 Chinese students,they always say,"My spoken English is poor."(36)EI 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)C However,you can speak with a limited vocabulary if your attitude is positive.Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
(38)F Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.Yet students should remember that their goal in speaking should be fluency not accuracy.You want to get your message across,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)A
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening.You have one mouth but two ears!All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth,most Chinese students are reactive(被動反應的) rather than proactive(積極行動的) 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)D
A.The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for mistakes he hears.
B.They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.
C.Obviously the better way is to expand their vocabulary.
D.If you have proactive outlook(觀點),then you will see English opportunities
wherever you go.
E.However,their spoken English does not have to remain poor
F.Second,they are afraid of making mistakes.
G.The second reason lies in the unwillingness of using what has just been learned.
分析 這是一篇關(guān)于網(wǎng)中國學生英語口語差的文章,并且從三個方面分析了中國學生英語口語差的原因.
解答 36.E.推理判斷題.根據(jù)上文Whenever I speak to Chinese students,they always say,"My spoken English is poor,當我和中國學生說話的時候,他們總會說我的英語口語很差,然而他們的英語口語并不差;故選E.
37.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)First,they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.,可知 他們找不到合適的詞匯來表達,是因為他們的詞匯有限,故應該擴大詞匯量,故選C.
38.F.推理判斷題.上文提示First,they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary所以接下來應該是Second,故選F.
39.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense,but it doesn't matter可知甚至有時候你可能會使用錯誤的詞或時態(tài),但沒有關(guān)系,可知和你說話的人可以聽明白;故選A.
40.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them可知如果你積極主動地去尋找說話的機會,那你會找到很多說英語的機會,故選D.
