Some people prefer to "pick up“ the language by reading books or magazines, watching films, visiting the country where the target language is spoken, etc. They focus on the meanings of words and don't worry too much about the language forms used. This method often suits children if they find themselves in a foreign country or with foreign friends. However, this approach doesn't suit everyone if your aim is to become good at writing.Probably the most common way to learn a language is in a classroom with a teacher. The teacher can explain difficult words, give guidance, and provide extra motivation and feedback on progress. Unfortunately, some people do not have very pleasant experiences of learning a language in the classroom. Language learning can be great fun. But your writing level will be increased most efficiently this way. Besides learning in a classroom, you can use a personal tutor and arrange a very flexible system of tuition. That means if you are busy at a particular time, you can still arrange to have your language tuition at a time that suits you.With recent improvements in modern technology, it is now possible to purchase a wide range 2of multi-media materials for learning a language. You can teach yourself using cassettes, videos, CD- ROMs, books, and any combination of these. This approach is best suited to students who are self-disciplined and well-organized. It also tends to assist with the development of reading and listening skills. But be sure to pick out materials of high quality. If you want to become fluent at speaking and writing a language, you'll also benefit from cooperating with other users.4. The method mentioned in the first paragraph can be considered.A. negative learningB. natural and active learningC. the most effective learning methodD. a structured learning methodThe underlined word "flexible" in the second paragraph means "A. strictB. pleasantC. safe D. freeFrom the passage, we can NOT learn that.A. people need to care about grammar when speaking a languageB. classroom studying can be boring sometimesC. not all learning materials can help improve our language levelD. students lacking self-control may not benefit much from self-studyWhat might be talked about in the next passage?A. How to find a personal tutor.B. How to deal with the difficulties in study.C. How to work together with other language learners.D. How to find the best studying method.The kindly "Chinese Fortune Grandpa” wearing Han Chinese clothing and holding a fortune bag debuted （亮相）at the Imperial Ancestral Shrine in Beijing on the day after Christmas. The final image of the Chinese gift-giver was selected through a global design competition against "Santa Claus"，according to a report by Guangming Daily.Many Chinese cities have been filled with Christmas neon lights, Christmas songs, Christmas trees, and the images of “Santa Claus" in recent days. As a matter of fact, foreign festivals are becoming more popular than certain traditional Chinese festivals among the Chinese people, particularly the youth. "Certain traditional festivals have died out because people have forgotten their spiritual meanings, "said noted writer Feng Jicai. More and more Chinese people are beginning to exchange gifts on Valentine's Day and Christmas. However, many of them know nothing about Chinese New Year pictures or sugarcoated figurines （小糖人），and have never heard suona music. Certain folk customs on the Dragon Boat Festival, Tomb Sweeping Day, and other traditional festivals have gradually disappeared. Under such circumstances, even the "Chinese Fortune Grandpa" is unlikely to defeat "Santa Claus”.However, it is not a bad thing to some extent. It constantly reminds people to restore the "true face of traditional festivals. China has listed traditional Tomb Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival as legal holidays, which brings more paid leaves to the public, and helps to awake the public awareness of traditional festivals.In modern society, festival is a carrier of culture and its meaning largely depends on their understandings and usages by people. Compared with foreign festivals, traditional Chinese festivals are not inferior （次于）in cultural meanings, but lack of fashion sought by modern people. If people do not appreciate the historical culture contained by traditional festivals, and only take pleasure-seeking as the most important, the significance of traditional festivals will fade away and the inheritance （继承）of fine traditional culture will be cut off.5. The second paragraph implies that.A. traditional festivals should co-exist with foreign festivals.B. all the Chinese festivals are disappearing in the near future.C. western festivals are constantly impacting on our festivals.D. the Chinese people have the public awareness of traditional festivals.6. We can learn from the passage that.A. an image designed by the Chinese people will be displayed.B. the Chinese gift-giver was intended to symbolize traditional culture.C. many foreigners know nothing about Chinese festivals.D. the Chinese are beginning to exchange gifts on the Mid-Autumn Festival.7. Many Chinese youth dislike traditional festivals because they think.A. traditional festivals are out of fashion now.B. the historical culture is more difficult to understand.C. western festivals contain more cultural meanings.D. the inheritance will cut off their contact with western festivals.8. What would be the best title of the passage?A. Gone are Chinese Traditional Festivals.B. True Face of Chinese Traditional Culture.C. Foreign Festivals Popular with Chinese.D. Chinese Fortune Grandpa VS Santa Claus.DWe are surrounded every day by thousands of chemicals. These chemicals have been found to be safe -on their own. But are they still "safe" if mixed with other chemicals? That's the big question.On its own, each chemical seems harmless. But in combination with other chemicals, they may become deadly. That is the finding of a two-year study by a high-profile task force of scientists. The task force was told to investigate the cancer-causing possibility of chemical mixtures.Linda Gulliver was one of 174 scientists on the task force. Their job was to study the cancer causing potential of 85 chemicals. AH 85 are said to be common in the environment. Ms Gulliver explains that chemicals have the potential to form dangerous mixtures. Even simple minerals can become dangerous when mixed with chemicals found in plastics or beauty products. While the chemicals are safe on their own, she says, the researchers found that many chemical compound cause cancer in human cells.Working in groups, the scientists explored how different chemical mixtures could lead to cancer. Ms Gullivefs team looked at the ability of different combinations to support the increase of malignant （恶性的）human cells.She says the big issue -what she calls “the $ 64 million dollar question" is, "Which common, everyday chemicals do people need to avoid? ” “The $ 64 million dollar question that everybody wants to ask is, "Which chemicals should we be looking out for? ' And the answer to that is, 'We don't know yet."She says the current way to identify whether chemicals cause cancer is to test them one at a time. This method leads, she adds, to a long list of supposedly "safe" chemicals. She and her team say that approach needs to change.“We definitely need certain research . to find out what mixtures of chemicals would be more harmful than others; what groups of chemicals, when together, would produce more harmful effects. And at the moment, that is not known.”The purpose of the researchers* work is.A. to find ways to protect human cells.B. to study the character of the chemicals.C. to study how deadly the chemicals in our homes are.D. to study the cancer-causing possibility of mixtures.9. According to Ms Gullivefs words, their research work is.A. practical to other researchersB. completely successfulC. still limitedD. not well receivedWhafs the best title of the passage?A. Chemicals are everywhereB. Chemicals can lead to cancerC. What is in chemicals in our daily life?D. Mixture of safe chemicals may cause cancerWhat can be inferred from the passage?A. Harmful chemicals are throughout our homes.B. It is hard to tell what mixture of chemicals is harmful.C. Researchers have quick approaches to studying the chemicals.D. Scientists know which mixture does harm to our health.第二节（共5小题，每题2分，总分值10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Life is full of surprises and events that sometimes change one's daily routine.
