2. Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor .  【小题1】  However, their spoken English does not have to remain“ poor”. I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, 【小题2】     Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However , you can speak with a limited vocabulary ,if your attitude is positive .Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
Second,  【小题3】    Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across. But to talk 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 because the person you are speaking to will understand and forgive you for any mistakes he hears.
Third, 【小题4】   You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, 【小题5】   Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then , you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

A．not enough attention is paid to listening.

B．They fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.

C．most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive (预先主动的)language learners.

D．They are so stupid that they cannot finish their necessary homework in time.

E. Whenever I speak to some Chinese students, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.”
F. It is no use crying over spoilt milk.
G. They are afraid of making mistake.

It was only rated PG-13 (parental guidance ) because of       in it . The teens did       that there was a scene, but it was “ just a little” wrong .It wasn’t anything really      However, the father still wouldn’t      . He just said, “ No!”

阅读理解

1. Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air， water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air， water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the plants around you， you will find that there are two kinds of plants： flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed， some have two， three or four， and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores（胚芽）。 Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places， they usually grow into new plants.

2. I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away. There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.
Just at this moment, she felt back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot (地点) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf. While I was wondering what I could do next，I heard the sound of a mother’s love．Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could，roaring(吼叫)all the time，but to her calf it was music．

3. When the famous dancer Fred was interviewed for a job by a Hollywood producer , the movie Expert turned him down, saying,”Can’t sing. Can’t act. Dances a little.” Here’s another stupid mistake. When the great scientist Albert Einstein was at school, his teachers considered him rather dull. And a final story, the famous Polish pianist Paderewski was told by a teacher that he’d never be a success as a performer because the middle finger on each hand was too short.
What lessons can be drawn from these three experiences? First, true genius (天才）cann’t be suppressed(压抑）．For some reason or other it works its way out. Second, early judgments of a person’s abilities may be unfair or just wrong. Third, when there is a real determination to succeed, obstacles fall by the wayside.

4. There are good Santas and there are bad Santas. The good Santas all realize one thing: In the mind of a child, Santa Claus is perfect. That’s difficult. And so they come from around the world to attend the Charles W. Howard School in Midland, Mich. The school offers a three-day, 40-hour course for Santas hoping to be excellent. A former Macy’s Santa named Charles Howard founded the Michigan school in 1937. “Many people will think if you have a suit and you’re a Santa,” said Tom Valent, the school’s current dean. “It’s more than that.” The school teaches everything from breathing techniques for carol singing to the beard maintenance. There are lessons in child psychology, sign language and even media training for talk-show appearances and call-in shows. Santas also need to make sure they know all the names of the reindeer(驯鹿). What’s harder to deal with, however, is children who ask for Christmas gifts like bringing daddy home or making mommy happy again. After spending time in the classroom, Weir went to the mall to test his training. However, at one point, his hat fell off, and he was unsure how to react. “You’re the real Santa,” Valent said. “Pick that hat up, slip it back on, keep smiling and do your job. You’ve got to stay on top of your game. Even the last one at night, when you’re tired, you’ve got to remember: This one’s forever, so do a good job.”
【小题1】According to the passage, good Santas should be the ones that ______.

A．can offer the children some gifts

B．help adults look after their children

C．have ability to make children happy

D．should be perfect in the mind of children

【小题2】The Michigan school was founded by Charles Howard with the purpose to ______.

A．train the pet reindeer for the Santas

B．earned money from its students

C．train perfect Santas for the world

D．show the world’s concern to the poor

【小题3】According to Weir’s performance, we can conclude that ______.

A．Weir was short of experience

B．Weir was not fit for the job as a Santa

C．Weir did very badly in the game

D．Weir was not a good student in school

This afternoon our class organized a social task in the nearby park. On arriving there, we are divided with three groups. The first group collected the rubbish throwing by visitors, such as waste paper, cigarette ends, plastic bags and so on. Meanwhile, a second group set up several bulletins（广告牌） to ask visitors to take care of the flowers and tree in the park. The last group gave out leaflets(传单） to visitors, reminding them of the danger of “white pollution” but the important of environmental protection.
In my eyes, that is very important for us to protect our environment. For the sake of people’s healthy and happiness, active measures should be taken to control and to prevent pollution and everyone should make contributions to it.
