根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 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 Chinese students 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 your attitude is positive.Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
Second,they 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.Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules of grammar and using tenses to get your message across.But to talk to someone in English,you should be as quickly and well as you can.Even though sometimes you may use a wrong word of tense,it doesn’t matter;because the person you are speaking to will understand you.
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening.You have one mouth but two ears!3. Fourth,most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive 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.4. If you don’t use your English beyond the classroom,you will forget the English you know.5. You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more. A.Remember:USE IT OR LOSE IT! B.Do not pay much attention to the grammar.
C.All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking. D.Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. E.However,their spoken English doesn’t have to remain “poor”.
F.Reading a lot is important for you to improve your spoken English.
G.If you have the proactive outlook,then,you will see English opportunities wherever you go. 答案:1~5 EDCGA 四、完形填空
