33、 the center of much praise and are one of the most universal symbols of love and life. As the phrase goes, sometimes you do have to “stop and smell the roses”.Although you may think that this is just a fancy way of saying taking some time to enjoy life, perhaps we have dismissed roses for too long.
34、Seriously, you should pay more attention to those roses. They could greatly improve your life.

41、选项。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.”36 I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems
42、with spoken English. First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.37 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.38 Sometimes they make mistakes whe
43、n 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 a
44、s you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter. 39 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 t
45、han proactive(主动的) 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.40 A. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.B. They may try to avoi
46、d making similar mistakes next time.C. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.D. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!E. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.F. The person you are speaking to will understand you and m
47、ake allowances for any mistakes he hears.G. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go. 第卷(共70 分)三语法填空。（每小题 2分， 共20分）British families started going on holiday to the seaside around the middle of the 19th century.
