Question

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor . 1. 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, 2. 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, 3. 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 for grammar and using them to get your message across. But to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand and forgive you for any mistakes he hears.

Third, 4. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.

Fourth, 5. Instead of actively seeking out 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.

A. not enough attention is paid to listening.

B. They fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.

C. most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive (預(yù)先主動(dòng)的)language learners.

D. They are so stupid that they cannot finish their necessary homework in time.

E. Whenever I speak to some Chinese students, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.”

F. It is no use crying over spoilt milk.

G. They are afraid of making mistake.

Answer 1

1.E

2.B

3.G

4.A

5.C

【解析】

1.

2. 由于詞匯量有限，他們很難找到一個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)脑~來表達(dá)自己。下一句Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary：顯然，最好的辦法就是增加詞匯量，說明該空是說學(xué)生的詞匯量少 。故選B。

3. 他們害怕犯錯(cuò)誤。Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous..可知這部分主要是講學(xué)生害怕犯錯(cuò)誤。

4. 他們對聽力沒有引起足夠的重視。該段后兩句都提到學(xué)生在說的時(shí)候，也要注意聽，所以說明先前學(xué)生沒有重視聽的部分。故選A

5. 大部分中國學(xué)生都是被動(dòng)的在學(xué)習(xí)而不是主動(dòng)的學(xué)習(xí)者。后文中提到我們要主動(dòng)的尋找機(jī)會(huì)來鍛煉自己的口語，所以這里是指學(xué)生的主動(dòng)性不夠，只是在被動(dòng)的學(xué)習(xí)。故選C。
