For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. 36 Learners of a new langua
17、ge often find themselves in ambiguous(有歧义的 ) situations. These situations are characterized by complexity, novelty(新颖 ), unexpectedness, or a lack of clear-cut(清晰的 ) solutions. Such ambiguity arises when a person does not understand a sentence, paragraph, or conversation because it contains unfamili
18、ar words or structures. Persons who dislike uncertainty tend to become confused and frustrated, perhaps withdrawing from the situation. They may give up or, in the most extreme cases, even go so far as to avoid further contact with the language. They prefer safe situations in which everything has be
19、en practiced, and explained. However, such behavior is not constructive because language students must learn to cope with uncertainty. Uncertainty is an inescapable part of communication. When someone speaks, he may occasionally feel unsure about his ability to get his message across. Even in the ca
20、se of native speakers, there may be a lack of common background information, for example. In the case of second-language- learners, they may worry that grammatical or pronunciation errors will impede(妨碍 ) communication or even make it impossible. Thus, the person who dislikes ambiguity may prefer to
21、 remain silent if he is not sure he can produce a perfect word. In fact, this behavior has been shown to impede true language learning. Since the main goal is to communicate, one should simply concentrate on producing a normal flow of speech, instead of being obviously concerned with individual item
22、s. A spoken message, at the time it is needed, no matter how imperfect, is worth many unspoken messages, no matter how perfect. It is better to say something promptly rather than say nothing at all or to take so long to compose the words that the listeners patience is exhausted and interest in furth
23、er communication is destroyed. Therefore, the successful language learner must deal with ambiguity and include the presence of a certain degree of uncertainty in his communicative strategies. 36 According to the passage, who would be successful in acquiring a second language? （ A） One who carefully
24、constructs his sentences. （ B） One who accepts the inevitability of uncertainty. （ C） One who speaks without thinking. （ D） One who doesnt worry about individual items. 37 What would be the most appropriate title for this passage? （ A） How to Formulate Effective Utterances （ B） Ambiguity and Languag
25、e Performance （ C） Maintaining the Listeners Interest （ D） The Role of Drill in Language Learning 38 The type of uncertainty among native speakers would most likely occur in a conversation between _. （ A） a doctor and a nurse （ B） a father and his daughter （ C） a scientist and a worker （ D） a lawyer
26、 and his client 39 From the passage it can be implied that the primary technique in using a second language should be to _. （ A） produce a normal flow of speech （ B） create native-like talks （ C） get ones ideas across slowly （ D） say something at once 40 The passage seems to show that the worst thin
27、g a language learner can do is _. （ A） refuse to interact with the language （ B） excessively practice and learn （ C） say too much when asked a question （ D） concentrate too much on proper pronunciation Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.

28、umbered 41 through 45. 41 Milk has become a popular drink for modem Chinese, not only is its nutritional(营养的 ) value appreciated, it seems even to have taken the role making the whole nation strong. Milk industry has only about 180 years of history among the Hah people. For a long time, milk was con
29、sidered a luxury(奢侈的 ) drink by common people. A widespread saying in the country was that Japan used a cup of milk to strengthen the constitution(体格 ) of its people.

30、in Japan has risen from less than 10 kilograms immediately after World War II to 68 kilograms today. The average height of Japanese has increased by 11 centimeters during this period.
