Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。

Although 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.” 【1】 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. 【2】 However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

【3】 Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that in speaking, your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, talking to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can.Even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter. 【4】

The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.

Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主動的) 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. 【5】

A. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.

B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.

C.However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!

D. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.

E. The second reason lies in the reluctance （勉強）of using what has just been learned.

F. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

G. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

試題分析：本文講述了如何來提高英語口語水平的方法，作者給出了自己的建議和意見。

【1】C 后文講到I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problemswith spoken English.作者將給出一些原因來說明口語不好的問題，故此處意思轉折來表示他的口語沒有必要一直不好，故選C。

【2】D 前文講到due to a limited vocabulary.由于詞匯量的限制，故此處應為最好的方法就是擴大詞匯量，故D項“Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.”符合上下文串聯(lián).

【3】A 后文講到Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. 有時候他們犯錯誤是由于緊張和害羞，所以此處應該是不要害怕犯錯誤，故選A。

【4】G 前文講到even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense , but it doesn't matter.盡管有時候你會用錯誤的單詞或是時態(tài)，但是沒有關系，故此處為別人會理解你的錯誤并且會包容你的錯誤。故G項正確。

【5】F 前文講到they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them 有些人被動的等到說英語的機會，所以此處應該是我們應該積極主動去尋找機會，然后你會發(fā)現(xiàn)機無處不在，故選F。
