If you want to become a fluent(流利的)English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.

Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it_

As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.

For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.

If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.

1. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?

A. Reading and writing. B. Reading and listening.

C. Writing and speaking. D. Speaking and listening.

2. The underlined phrase "come across" in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by "_______".

A. meet by accident B. discover

C. find on purpose D. look for

3. The author seems to agree with the view that_______.

A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day

B. you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every day

C. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening

D. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing

4. The passage is mainly about how to_______.

A. choose suitable listening materials

B. deal with new words in reading

C. read as many English books as possible

D. become fluent in speaking and writing English

中考英语阅读理解****浪费可耻

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.

Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of(缺乏) others, for example, fresh water(淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal(煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.

中考英语阅读理解****不一样的平安夜

Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebration at a pub(酒馆) for students. But, for Cai Yingjie, the night has a different meaning: helping beggars(乞丐) and the homeless(people without homes).

Cai, who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing's Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves(手套).

The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying "for the first time I feel respected(尊重)".

Cai said, "A beggar's life is very hard. That's why I want to help them."

Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor. They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday, visiting 15 beggars in Beijing's Haidian District.

They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise.

"I know the activity can't help much, but it's meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long," said Sun, head of the group. "And Christmas is a good time for that."

◆根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

1. What does Christmas Eve mean to the 14 Tsinghua students?

A. Taking 15 beggars to Tsinghua.

B. Getting together with friends.

2. What does the beggar mean by saying "for the first time I feel respected"?

D. This is the first time the beggar has seen Tsinghua students.

3. What did each beggar feel when they received greetings?

A. Sad. B. Amazed.

C. Frightened. D.Proud.

4. The word "neglected" in the last passage means _______.

A. protected B. found

C. taken care of D. given no enough care

【答案及解析】

1. 选C。第1段的最后一句…helping beggars(乞丐) and the homeless(people without homes). 就是他们的决定，即去帮助那些乞丐和无家可归的人，给他们以关爱。答案选C。

2. 选B。根据第3段中的 woman所说的话：…for the first time I feel respected(尊重). 我们可以推断出：乞丐们有太长的时间没人关心了。故答案为B。

3. 选B。 在第6段中有这样一句Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise. 而B选项中Amazed 的同义表达就是surprised，所以答案为B。

4. 选D。本文讲述了14个清华学子在平安夜帮助流浪汉和乞丐们的故事。这些流浪汉和乞丐们都感到十分的意外和温暖，我们由此可推断他们应该是长期given no enough care(被忽视的)原因。这样我们就可以排除A、B、C三项，最后正确答案为D。

阅读A、B、C三篇材料，然后从各小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

What do you do if you don't get into your first choice of university? That's the question that faces thousands of students in Britain every year.

Many students turn to Clearing, an education agency that helps find university places for students at the last moment. If students don't have enough marks to get into their first choice of universities, Clearing tells them about places available at other universities, though they might have to study another subject.

But this year has seen a record number of students who want to study in universities. This means that there's been a fiecer competition for university places than usual. Education officials say six students competed for one place. It's said almost 190,000 students still don't have a place in a university. That's a rise of over 46,000 students from last year.

Faced with these numbers, some students are going to be disappointed, others might be thinking of an interesting choice: studying abroad. The University of Nottingham, for example, is offering places in Ningbo, near Shanghai.

Because of the problems with university entrance, the UK's Higher Education Minister, David Willetts, encourages students to study at home or to learn one kind of skills, such as cooking, hairdressing and so on .

But some people say that rising university costs, less hope to find jobs in the future, and a drop in graduate recruitment（大学招生）mean it's the worst time to be a university student in the UK.

( ) 1. Thousands of _________ students don't know what to do if they can't enter their first choice of universities.

A. American B. Chinese C. Brazilian D. British

( ) 2. What does the underlined "place" mean? It means ______.

A. room B. playground C. chance D. location

( ) 3. What suggestion does David Willetts give to help solve the problems in university entrance?

A. To study abroad. B. To turn to Clearing.

C. To study at home. D. To turn to parents.

( ) 4. What is NOT the reason that makes it the worst time to be a university student in the UK?

A. British economic crisis (危机) B. Rising University costs.

C. A drop in graduate recruitment. D. less hope to find jobs in the future.

( ) 5. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A. Clearing, the key to university. B. University Disappointment.
