One way is to teach students how to learn more effectively and efficiently. Learning strategies are “Procedures o
16、r techniques that learners can use to facilitate a learning task.“ Instructing students of English in learning strategies can help them become better learners. In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming independent, confident learners. Finally, students become more
17、motivated as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English. Students need to develop an awareness of the learning process and strategies that lead to success. Students who reflect on their own thinking are more likely to engage in planning
18、how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to problems encountered, and evaluating themselves upon task completion. These activities may be difficult for students accustomed to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems a
19、nd is the sole judge of their progress. Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves. Because learning strategies are mental processes with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible. When students are able to use the st
20、rategies their teachers have taught them, and to do so without prompting, then they need to explore new strategies, new applications, and new opportunities for self-regulated learning.(1). Better learning strategies can make language learning more( ). A. fun B. interesting C. efficient D. exciting (
21、2). Students who reflect on their own ( )will be more successful in learning. A. thinking B. evaluation C. performance D. activities (3). Teachers should encourage students to rely more on ( ) A. books B. notes C. tutors D. themselves (4). Learning strategies are unobservable mental processes, so te
22、achers should make them ( ) A. simpler B. more familiar C. more concrete D. more applicable (5). Which of the following statements is true? ( ) A. Students learn learning strategies from the teachers only. B. Learning strategies are completely unobservable. C. Students need to explore new learning s
23、trategies for themselves. D. Teachers are the sole judges of students progress. 2. To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your students; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully u
24、nder you control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not move motionless before his class; he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in
25、 his explanation, and his face to express his feeling. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesnt mean he will indeed be able
26、 to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teachers word and the actors. The actor has to speak words which has been learnt by heart, he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his v
27、oice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they dont under
28、stand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cant learn his part in a stage-play, because their brains couldnt keep discipline: they could not keep strictly to what other had written.(1). A good teacher ( ). A. knows how
29、 to hold the interest of his students B. must have a good voice C. knows how to act on the stage D. stands or sits motionless while teaching (2).

A. students can move around in the classroom B. students must keep silent while theatre audience C. no memory work
31、 is needed for the students D. the students must take part in their teachers plays 3. Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language ba
32、rrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used Internationally; spellin
33、g, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonli
34、nguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also exp
35、ress human thoughts and feelings.(1). Which of the following best summarizes this passage? ( ) A. When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication. B. Everybody uses only one form of communication. C. Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners. D. Although other form

Most animals have little connection with animals of different kind, unless they hunt them fo
39、r food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership ( 伙伴关系 ) which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites （寄生虫 ) on sheep. The sheep a
40、llow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals ( 珊瑚 ) of
41、 the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants act as “dustman“, taking some of the waste products form the corals and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are ever prevented from lighting so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.(1).

The connection between the living things. D. Corals have some connection with plants. 5. Exercise is one of t
45、he few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to “light” beer and low -calorie bread than increase physical exertion. Doctors found that less than one-fourth of o
46、verweight adults who were trying to reduce weight said they were combining exercise with their diet. Still, exercises supporting role in weight reduction is necessary. A study confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into
47、their daily routine maintained their new weight. If you have been sedentary and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily.
