有关"How can I learn English well?"的英文阅读题,及答案

“
How can I learn English well?
”
This is a question many students ask. In my
opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite
the text and write it out, you
’
ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your
own words, what the lesson says you
’
re a very successful learner indeed.
Your English will be quite perfect.

This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each
lesson, you
’
ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought.

Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also
necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English.

Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes
and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother
tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never
try to see English through translation.

56.In the writer
’
s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is ____.

A.to practise speaking, writing and feeling it

B.to forget your own native language

C.to translate everything into his own language

D.to memorize the English words and grammatical rules

Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way.

here
means________.

When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only
when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes
are.

People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to
their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and
reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see
distant things clearly.

People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see
things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they
hold it at arm
’
s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses
too.

Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the
right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people
’
s eyes
become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became
blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove
them.

When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After
your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side
of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small
thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its
direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking
?
at the
thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something
moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not
see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake
happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is
not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.

59.We don
’
t know that our eyes are of great importance until ________.

A. we think about our eyes





B. we cannot see clearly

C. we wear glasses











D. we have to do much reading

60.According to the passage, a ________ is more likely to be nearsighted.

61.People who are farsighted ________ .

A.cannot do a lot of close work without glasses

B.can only see things that are very close to their eyes

C.have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm
’
s length

D.have the same problem as the nearsighted people

62.To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ________ .

A.with wide open eyes





B.with half shut or narrowed eyes

C.straight at it













D.in a slightly different direction

C

Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other
useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and
flood.

Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of
these points is the most important. Man wants to make money from trees,so he
has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost
the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look
after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.

This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are
even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain
in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but
where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away,
causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone,
nothing is left but useless desert.

63.The most important points of trees to man is ________.

A.they help him to make money




B.they give him cool

C.they give him wood and other things

D.they help him to stop drought and floods

64.In many places forests slowly disappear because ________ .

A.many trees have been cut down by man

B.new trees are not well looked after

C.man has not paid enough attention to planting trees

D.all the above

65.Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because ________ .

A. roots of trees break up the soil



B. there are too many rainfalls

C. strong winds bring a lot of sand

D. there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.

66.Which title best fits the passage?

A.Trees and Man
















B.The Function of Tree Wood

C.How do People do with Trees?


D.The Usage of Tree Roots

Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains
and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their
workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their
classrooms.

Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows
students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the
1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a
＄
10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The
students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will
be able to use e-mail to
“
speak
”
with their teachers, their classmates, and
their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that
students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They
can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere
at all!

Because of the many changes in computer technology , laptop use in higher
education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become
more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition,
the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also
libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying
?

how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs
at other universities, too.

At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The
laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one
Westlake teacher said,
“
Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we
’
re
giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do
everything.”

67.The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to
________.

A.use for their schoolwork



B.access the Internet

C.work at home












D.connect them to libraries

71.What can we infer from the passage?

A.The program is successful.

B.The program is not workable.

C.The program is too expensive.


D.We don
’
t know the result yet.

E

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not
learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking.
He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he
uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the
necessary changes to make his language like other people
’
s. In the same
way, children learning to do all the other things: they learn to do without being
taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own
performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed
changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes
and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that
he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it
unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he
wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this
is a good way of saying or doing this or not.

If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give
him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers
waste time on such routine(
