If anyone wanted to tell a friend that they were coming for tea in the afternoon, they would send a postcard in
9、the morning. “Drop me a card” was as common then as “give me a ring” as now. In 1902 an important step was taken.

Postal System in BritainCAlthough many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good,
13、most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” 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,
14、they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 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, th
15、ey are afraid of making mistakes. 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（准确性）. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words an
16、d spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter because the person you are speaking to will unders
17、tand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears. The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two years! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking. Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners.
18、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. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go. If you do not us
19、e your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more. 9What is most probably the writers purpose in writing the passage?ATo improve your reading. BTo improve your listening. CTo impr
20、ove your spoken English. DTo improve your vocabulary. 10It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _.A. Fluency is more important than accuracy in writing.B. It doesnt matter to make mistakes when we use English.C. In order to get our message across we should speak cautiously.D. Feeling shy an
21、d nervous can lead to errors.11The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “_”. Amore hurry, less speed Bbetter late than never Csilence is gold Dpractice makes perfect12The text is most probably taken from a _. Ateachers diary Breport on study Csports newspaper Dmovie magazineDI used to
22、think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my school, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of audienc
23、e, I was trembling. I didnt remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I ha
24、ve received many awards in school, but they dont show anything about me. I am just storing knowledge, yet fail to communicate with others.

25、 studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society.13. From the passage we can learn that the author_.A. comes to know how important it is to make some moneyB. realizes that it is more important to develop oneself than just to learn kno
