Passage Two
The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English "You speak very good English." But the student answered, "No, no. My English is very poor." The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, "Yes indeed, you speak English very well." But the Chinese student still kept saying "No". In the end the foreigner gave up and was at a loss what to say. What's wrong with the student's answer? It is because he did not accept a compliment(赞美的话)as the English people do. He should have said "Thank you" instead of "No". He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If he said "Thank you", that would mean he was too proud. According to the western culture, if someone says the dishes you have cooked are very delicious, you should say "Thank you". If someone says to a Woman "You look so beautiful with the new clothes on", she should be very happy and answer "Thank you". In our country we think being modest is a virtue and showing off a bad thing. But in the west, if you are modest and say "No, I'm afraid I can't do it well", then the others will take it for granted that you really cannot do it. If you often say "No", you will certainly be looked down upon by others. When asking for a job, if one says something like "Let me have a try on the job" instead of "Yes, I can certainly do it," he or she will never expect to get it. So in the west one should always be confident. Without self-confidence, he cannot go anywhere. Confidence is of great importance to one in a country where competition is quite keen.
40. Why was the American surprised at the Chinese student's answer?
A. Because he wondered whether the student could really speak good English.
B. Because he could hardly hear what the student had said.
C. Because he wouldn't like others to say "No".
D. Because the way to accept a compliment in China is not the same as that in the western countries.

W1: Yes, Professor Baker, I speak Spanish and French.
M: And what helped you most in learning those languages?
W1: What helped me most ... well, I studied both languages in high school, and I'm still studying Spanish here at the University, but I think that travel has probably been the most help to me. You see, I've been lucky in that I've lived in Europe. Believe me, I didn't speak very well before I moved there. What do you think of this, Jill?
W2: You're right, Betty, after studying a language, practice is very useful. When you live in a country where the language is spoken, it's ideal. But, you know, sometimes it's difficult to make friends in a new place, even then the people are very friendly.
W1: Yes, I know what you mean. Especially if you don't speak the language too well. I had some problems when I first moved to Europe.
W2: And, of course, some people are shy.
W: That's true.
W2: Professor Baker, whether or not I'm in a country where the language is spoken, I always go to the movies, and whenever I can, 1 watch TV or listen to the radio in the language I'm trying to learn.
W2: Me too. And reading is another way to learn. Books are good, but I think that newspapers and magazines are even better.
M: Probably the best way to learn is to combine all of these ideas: traveling, talking with people, going to movies, watching TV, listening to the radio, and reading books, newspapers and magazines. What do you think?
W1: I agree with that, Professor Baker.
W2: So do I. But I don't believe that it's possible to take advantage of practice opportunities without some knowledge of the language first.
W1:Sure. First it's a good idea to study grammar, vocabulary...
W2: ... and listening, perhaps even reading.
W1: Then practice is very, very helpful.
(23)
A.Language laboratory.
B.Traveling.
C.Studying in high school.
D.Going to movies and watching TV.

“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.
“Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience, not to be inhibited (拘谨;抑制), not to be nervous, ”
Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to reach out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your longstanding nervous inhibitions.
It is the same in writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibi- tions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ll read what y- ou wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and reach out to the person at the other end of the line.
Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. Y ou can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you ’re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary or at least it’s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper.”
The main task of a public speech course is to ________.
A.teach spoken-language experience
B.teach how to use gestures to assist speech
C.help the learners overcome nervousness
D.teach how to control the volume of the speaker’s voice
Learning how to write is similar to learning how to speak in public in that a writer should ___________.A.overcome his or her nervousness in the first place
B.watch his or her grammar and vocabulary
C.collect a lot of data before writing
D.take hold of a reader and talk to him or her before writing
In the author’s opinion_________.A.writing needs more experience and skill than public speaking
B.both writing and public speaking require effort
C.writing is imaginative
D.public speaking is not so natural as writing
Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Not many students feel the need to learn public speaking
B.Training is necessary before you can speak with script
C.In public speaking, the audience are more nervous than the speaker
D.Writing is just like making a public speech on paper
This selection is mainly about learning how to _______.A.make a public speech
B.talk on paper
C.behave properly in public speech
D.express strong emotion on paper

Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文: [26] Americans who remember "the good old days" are not alone in complaining about the educational System in this country. Immigrants complain, too. Lately a German friend was filled with anger when he learned that the first mathematics test given to his son as a college freshman included multiplication and division. Japanese businessmen in Los Angeles send their children to private schools staffed by teachers imported from Japan who teach mathematics at more advanced level.
[27] But I wonder: If American education is so poor, why is it that this is still the country of innovation? When I was 12 in Indonesia, I had to memorize the name of all the world's major cities. At the same age, my son, who was brought up a Californian, thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe, my son had studied creative geography. When he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school, including the streets, the traffic signs and the houses that he passed. Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; without this they will not be able to think or to believe in themselves. Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing: freedom. [28] America, I think, is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak, write and be creative. Our public education is not perfect, but it is better than any other.
(27)
A.The Japanese mathematic teachers.
B.Both the speaker and his German friend.
C.Both Americans and immigrants.
D.The son of the speaker's German friend.
