They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar, and learn to write in the new language much more quickly than other people. They do not seem to be any
19、cleverer than others. What makes language learning so much easier for them? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learners, we may discover a few techniques which make language learning easier for them. Firstly, successful language learners are independent learners. They do no
20、t depend on the book or the teacher ; they d rather discover their own way to learn the language than wait for the teacher to explain everything. They try to find the sentence patterns, the rules and the meaning of the new word by themselves. They are good guessers. They look for clues and form thei
21、r own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes. Besides, successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the langua
22、ge and they ask these people to correct them whenever they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more imp
23、ortant for them to learn to think in the language than to know every word s meaning. Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they have an interest in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the lan
24、guage in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. 36 Successful language learners are independent, so successful learners_. （ A） depend on the book or the teacher （ B） wait for the teacher to explain everything （ C） learn from their mistakes （ D） discover their own way to learn
25、 languages 37 According to the passage, what will successful language learners do when they meet some new words? （ A） Try to guess their meanings. （ B） Ask their teachers. （ C） Look the new words up in the dictionary. （ D） Pay no attention to them. 38 Successful language learning is active, so succe
26、ssful learners_. （ A） wait for a chance to use the language （ B） look for a chance to use the language （ C） only use the language in class （ D） try to avoid using the language 39 Why do successful language learners want to learn the language? （ A） Because they want to find better jobs. （ B） Because
27、they want to get good marks in their exams. （ C） Because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. （ D） Because they have a knack for learning languages. 40 The purpose of the passage is to_. （ A） explain the importance of language learning （ B） introduce some useful technique
28、s of language learning （ C） teach people how to learn English （ D） compare language teaching with language learning Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 40 Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Wit
29、hout a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn t feel really poor when he had a car. Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn t know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United St
30、ated a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today. There are three main reasons why the car become so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of
31、 transportation. With a car people can go anyplace without spending a lot of money. The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the country a
32、s they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently. The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don t like to
33、wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have. The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bi
34、gger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas. 41 Most Americans feel they are poor when they_. （ A） have no job （ B） have no food （ C） have no money （ D） have no car 42 Henry Ford was the first to_cars in large numbers.

36、people can go_easily. （ A） anywhere （ B） to anyplace （ C） to anywhere （ D） any place 45 The real solution to the gas shortage problem is_. （ A） to make less cars （ B） to develop a public transportation system （ C） to make gas-saving cars （ D） to develop train service Task 3 Directions: The following
