This is one of the questions I am most frequently asked. There is no hard and fast rule, for no two are alike, and it would be wrong to set a time when all should start being taught the intricacies(复杂)of reading letters to form words.If a three-year-old wants to read(or even a two-year-old for that matter), the child has the right to be given every encouragement. The fact that he or she might later be “bored” when joining a class of non-readers at child school is the teachers affair. It is up to the teacher to see that such a child is given more advanced reading material.Similarly, the child who still cannot read by the time he goes to junior school at the age of seven should be given every help by teachers and parents alike. They should make certain that he is not dyslexic(having difficulty in reading).Although parents should be careful not to force youngsters aged two to five to learn to read( if badly done it could put them off reading for life ), there is no harm in preparing them for simple recognition of letters by labeling various items in their rooms. For instance, tie a nice piece of cardboard to their bed with BED written in neat, big letters.Should the young child ask his parents to teach him to read, and if the parents are capable of doing so, such an attraction should not be ignored. But the task should never be made to look like a hard job and the child should never be forced to continue, or his interest should start to flag.56. This passage is mainly about _.A. what qualities people teaching children reading should haveB. different age groupings of children to be taught readingC. when and how children should be taught readingD. various problems of children who start learning to read57. In the writers opinion, children start learning to read _.A. early and fast B. at different times C. by a certain rule D. from word games58. A three-year-old child who wants to read should _.A. be encouraged B. go to an infant schoolC. start from fun stories D. join a class of non-readers59. The purpose of labeling items in the room is to _.A. make it more colorful B. teach children to write neatlyC. help children recognize simple letters D. force children to develop the habit of reading60. The writer suggests that _.A. children should ask their parents to teach them to readB. children should not feel bored if given advanced reading materialC. children starting to read should ask specialists for helpD. children should be taught with patience, care and a sense of humourBAlthough 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.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I 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. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. 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.Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes 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 the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across ,that is, to talk to someone in English ,as quickly and as well as you can ,even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense ,but it doesnt matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.Forth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive 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. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.61What is most probably the writers purpose in writing the passage?ATo improve your reading. BTo improve your listening.CTo improve your spoken English. DTo improve your vocabulary.62. We can learn from the third paragraph that _.A. Fluency is more important than accuracy.B. It doesnt matter to make mistakes when we use English.C. In order to get our message across we should speak cautiously.D. Feeling shy and nervous can lead to errors.63. Which of the following is true about Chinese students?A. They are passive learners.B. They are active in looking for a chance to practice their oral English.C. They tend to wait for somebody to speak to them in English.D. They speak English slowly without mistakes.64The last paragraph is close to the meaning of “ ”.AMore hurry, less speed BBetter late than neverCSilence is gold DPractice makes perfect65The text is most probably taken from a _ .Ateachers diaryBreport on study Csports newspaper Dmovie magazineCSuperman, Spider-Man, Batman and Iron Man . .There is no shortage of superheroes. You find them in comic books, on the TV and the big screen.In a survey of fans by the sci-fi (科幻) and fantasy website, SFX.co.uk, Batman, 70 years old this year, was voted Britain's favorite superhero.Unlike many crime-fighting superheroes Batman has no special powers. He can't fly like Superman or shoo
