How do you acquire confidence? Speak English with friends first because with them you can speak f reely without feeling shy.

Then try your ability with your teachers and with foreigners if you have an opportunity to meet the m. Don’t be afraid of mistakes. Nobody is above mistakes; and don’t be afraid to ask questions about th ings you don’t know. This is the way to acquire knowledge.

Not until you begin to think in English rather than Chinese can you be said to know the language. This is not a superhuman achievement—only a question of practice. Thinking in English will help you to truly understand how the language is spoken.

Read novels to build vocabulary, thus gaining confidence. Start with small volumes of 30 to 40 page s. Write down any new word you discover and look it up in your dictionary. Learn how to use the new word by making sentences with it. Bring the word to your teacher to have it explained more fully.

Don’t be angry when you learn a new word today and forget it tomorrow. To forget is a natural pro cess; to remember is unnatural and requires effort. Of 10 new words learnt in a day, only two or three will remain in the memory. The others you will forget and have to relearn.

When learning them for the second time, they will come more easily, and this time you probably wil l remember nearly all of them. A small minority, however, may elude you again, and have to be learnt for a third time. Constant repetition is necessary.

(1).[本题2分] You can gain confidence by speaking English with the following people but ______?

(A) family members

(B) foreigners

(D) friends

(2).[本题2分] When can you be said to know English?

(A) When you have confidence with English.

(B) When you are not afraid to ask questions.

(D) When you have built vocabulary.

(3).[本题2分] We can build vocabulary in the following ways except ______.

(A) reading novels

(B) often speaking with foreigners

(D) constant repetition of new words

(4).[本题2分] What are suggested to do if you always forget the new words?

(A) To read novels.

(B) To relearn constantly.

(D) To practice more.

(5).[本题2分] What's the best title for the passage?

(A) Ways to Gain Confidence with English

(B) Learning New Words

(D) Communicating in English

The other day I asked a group of my students how they like to learn English. The first person to sp eak up was Max. This was no surprise—unlike many Hong Kong students, Max has never been reluctant to speak.

“I like to learn by speaking,” said Max. “I specially love to speak to native English speakers when I can find them. I try to talk to my friends in English, too. Um, what else? I like to watch TV and mo vies in English, and I like to learn new words by hearing them.”

“How about you?” I asked Veronica. “Do you like to learn in these ways?”

“Oh, no,” she said, “I could never learn like that. I need to have a textbook, and I like the teacher t o explain everything to me. I have a notebook, and I write everything down. I like to study grammar, a nd I like to learn by reading. Max says he likes to learn new words by hearing them. I like to learn ne w words by seeing.”

Veronica’s classmate Jackie was more similar to Max. She said she liked to learn by watching movie s and videos. She also liked playing games, listening to cassettes, talking in pairs and pract icing English outside the classroom. The last person to give his opinion was Joseph. Like Veronica, he li ked to study grammar, although he didn’t feel the same need to have a teacher. He liked to learn indepe ndently to find his own mistakes, and to read books and newspapers.

These four people correspond to four learner “types” that a former colleague of mine, Ken Willing, f ound in a study he did some years ago. Max can be classified as a “communicative” learner, Veronica a

s “authority-oriented”, Jackie as a “concrete” learner, and Joseph as an “analytical” one.

(1).[本题2分] Max likes to learn English by ______.

(A) always speaking in English

(B) watching TV and movies in English

(D) learning new words by hearing them

(2).[本题2分] Who likes to learn English by watching movies and videos?

(A) Jackie and Max

(B) Veronica and Joseph

(D) Joseph and Max

(3).[本题2分] What’s the similarity between Veronica and Joseph in learning preferences?

(A) Neither likes to study grammar.

(B) Neither likes a teacher to explain what they are learning.

(D) None of the above.

(4).[本题2分] If Nancy likes to learn English by listening to tapes, watching movies, talking to others an

d playing games, what typ

e does she belong to?

(A) Analytical.

(B) Concrete.

(D) Authority-oriented.

(5).[本题2分] What’s the main idea of this passage?

(A) How will the teachers do with the four types of learner?

(B) How to find the way you really like to learn.

(D) Four different types of English learner.

Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather foreca sts is sent by satellite. Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the Earth to show how c louds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.

Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites. Many of our TV prog rams come to us through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.

We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay i n the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hour—exactly t he same speed that the earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae (天线) facing the Earth. Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit, so there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days.

Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A s atellite usually works for about 10-12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astron auts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often, very old or broken satellites are left in s pace to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear po wer (核动力) and they can crash into each other.

(1).[本题2分] Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?

(A) Sending information for weather forecasts.

(B) Providing food for airplane pilots.

(D) Taking photographs of the Earth.

(2).[本题2分] What’s the speed the Earth rotates at?

(A) 11,000 kilometers per hour.

(B) 335,880 kilometers per hour.

(D) 35,880 kilometers per hour.

(3).[本题2分] What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 3 refer to?

(A) A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.

(B) A little rocket.

(D) A satellite.

(4).[本题2分] How would the very old and broken satellites be dealt with?

(A) They will be repaired by astronauts.

(B) They will be brought back to Earth to be repaired.

(D) They will be made to crash into each other.

(5).[本题2分] What’s the proper title for this passage?

(A) The ABC about Satellites

(B) The Speed of Satellites

(D) Satellites Using Nuclear Power

Experienced riders who are not too large and fancy taking part in some of the festive season’s most famous race meetings could be in for an unexpected surprise.

This year’s national hunt racing season could be overshadowed because the sport’s shortest athletes ar e facing a shortage of a different kind. The number of national hunt jockeys (职业赛马骑师) has fallen from 123 in 1995 to 70—but the number of meetings has increased. Now officials are issuing a plea to any keen riders to apply to the Jockey Club, racing’s governing body (理事会), for a license to take par t in some of the country’s leading meetings.

While meetings are unlikely to be abandoned, some races might only involve three horses. Racing off icials fear that jockeys might not be able to get to all of the meetings in time, particularly on Boxing D ay, when there will be nine, and on New Year’s Day, when there will be six.

National hunt racing is open to professional and amateur (业余的) jockeys. Those who think they hav e the relevant credentials (证明书) need to have extensive riding experience, weigh under 10 stone (63 k g) and stand at around 5 ft 8 in (173cm). Once the Jockey Club has approved the license the riders are free to take part in any national hunt race and pit (使竞争) their wits against the likes of Tony McCo y. Racing officials believe that the shortage has cone about because Britons are getting bigger and there

are fewer people who meet t he sport’s height and weight requirements.

A spokesman for the Jockey Club said: “There are fewer jockeys who are getting a greater number o f rides but at least that means they are able to earn a good living.” He added: “We are keeping an eye on the situation. Any sport thrives on new blood and young talent coming through.” It is not a case of horse racing being less fashionable but being a jockey is a very demanding lifestyle, particularly in ter ms of truing to keep your weight down. People are now heavier and bigger and maybe some just find it too hard to be a jockey.

(1).[本题2分] What does the underlined word “overshadow” in paragraph 3 mean?

(A) To be taller than the athletes.

(B) To face a shortage of horse racing athletes.

(D) To make the racing field cool.

(2).[本题2分] According to the passage, who may get a license from the Jockey Club?

(A) Michael—172cm—62kg

(B) Tony—168cm—61kg

(D) Joe—178cm—63kg

(3).[本题2分] What's Tony McCoy?

(A) A Jockey Club.

(B) A very famous jockey in history.

(D) The manager of the Jockey Club who is not kind to the rider.

(4).[本题2分] Which of the following statements is TRUE?

(A) The jockeys may not be able to get to all of the meetings in time because there may be man y meetings at the same time.

(B) Horse racing is now not as fashionable as before.

ding meetings.

(D) The number of national hunt jockeys has fallen as well as the meetings.

(5).[本题2分] What does the writer want to tell us?

(A) This year’s national hunt racing season could be overshadowed.

(B) People should pay more attention to their weight so as to make it easier to be a jockey.

(D) The riders are expected to apply to the Jockey Club.

Indeed, if we have been harmed, we should not forget it. We can learn from the past about how to avoid being harmed in the future. Nor is forgiveness a way of exonerating (免除责任) the one who has hurt us. We recognize that the harm did happen and the person must be responsible for this and must come to terms with their own guilt. When we forgive, we are not sacrificing anything or giving up our sense of self-worth. Indeed, we are doing just the opposite by taking a stand which says that we are strong and finally free of playing the role of victim. Forgiveness is a way of declaring our honesty. Forgiveness is a way of saying that the pain of the past should now be put behind me. Thus, forgiving is a reflection of positive self-esteem. It means that we have better things to do in life than continuing to live under the influence of the one who has caused us pain. Forgiveness signifies breaking the cycle of pain and abuse (辱骂), giving up the belief that the other person should hurt as much as we do. It means abandoning the myth that if we hurt the other person, it will make us feel better. Forgiveness implies giving up the unrealistic hope that an apology will
