20、 not mean that he has mastered(精通) English. A students mastery of English is ultimately(最终 的) measured by how well he can use it, not by how much he knows about it.

21、r practicing, he is able to play the piano. So you should also have such a purpose: you are to use English. Using English consists(包含) of speaking English and writing compositions in English.

23、 the English language in order to use English, not only to grasp(掌握) some grammatical rules B. that we neednt study English grammatical rules C. that we should study English grammatical rules very well D. that we study the English language in order to grasp some grammatical rules 47.

25、o Wang knows a lot of English words and a set of grammatical rules, so that he speaks English well. D. Xiao Zhang knows much about English, so he can use English 48. From the authors point of view, _. A. learning English is very important because of the grammatical rules B. English is of importance

29、need weed and water, and later they harvest the crops. In this way, they develop good working habits and learn how important it is to produce. Usually, children do not like vegetables such as spinach(菠菜), green beans, or cabbage. But by growing vegetables themselves, Cuban children soon develop a ta
