Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good ,most would admit that their spoken English is poor .Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” 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, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 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, they are afraid of making mistakes. 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（準(zhǔn)確性）. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly .However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across ,to talk to someone in English ,as quickly and as 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 you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening .You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking.
Forth ,most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners .Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking 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.
If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know .Remember : USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.
48．What is most probably the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A．To improve your reading. B．To improve your listening.
C．To improve your spoken English. D．To improve your vocabulary.
49．It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .
A．don’t be fluency .Just be accuracy
B．don’t be nervous ,don’t be shy .Just write!
C．don’t be afraid of making mistakes .Just speak!
D．don’t be shy ,don’t be fluency. Just listen and write!
50．The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “ ”.
A．more hurry, less speed B．better late than never
C．silence is gold D．practice makes perfect
51．The text is most probably taken from a .
A．teacher’s diary B．report on study C．sports newspaper D．movie magazine
D
A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives. It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.
First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.
Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual. This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement. This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years. This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.
In addition, the government could take responsibility for the care of the elderly. This could be financed through government taxes to increase the level of pensions（養(yǎng)老金）. Furthermore, some in-situation should be created for senior citizens, which can help provide a comfortable life for them. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows, this is not a truly viable answer. The government can seldom afford to care for the elderly, particularly when it is busy trying to care for the young.
One further solution is that the government or social organizations establish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.
To sum up, all these options（選擇） have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
52. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The problems faced by the old in society. B. Why we should take responsibility for the old.
C. How we can improve the lives of the old. D. Where the old can go to get their pensions.
53. According to the passage, how can the government help to improve the lives of retired people?
A. Set aside some profits to help people with problems after they retire.
B. Increase savings levels of people during their working years.
C. Increase the discounts for food and transport for the old.
D. Make available pensions for those who have retired.
54. The underlined word “viable” most probably means “__________”.
A. impossible B. practical C. useful D. successful
55. What can be concluded from the passage?
A. Taking care of the old is mainly an issue of money.
B. Employers should allow their workers to retire at a later age.
C. Becoming independent should be the goal of most old people.
D. There is no single solution to the problems of the old.
56. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this article?
A. To point out the need for government support for old people.
B. To make general readers aware of the problems of retired people.
C. To discuss some possible solutions to an important social problem.
D. To instruct retired people on how they can have a happier life.

All plant cells are capable of taking up water. Even dead ones do to a certain degree. Absorption（吸收）of water by dead cell walls makes wood become larger. In common land plants, the living cells of roots take up most of the water. Land plants without roots do exist, however. Those greenish-yellow lichens（苔蘚）you see on rocks in the high mountains have no roots. Half a billion years ago, when water plants started to enter the land, the first land plants did not have roots.

Even among
the flowering plants, one finds rootless forms. These flowering plants are “the
higher plants” because they evolved（進(jìn)化）recently and are thus considered higher on the
evolutionary scale（進(jìn)化度）.In
the Peruvian desert, there grows one of these rootless higher plants, a
bromeliad. It is a relative of the pineapple. Even if this plant had roots,
they would be of no use, because where the plant grows, it never rains. The
plant gets its water only from the dew（露水）it collects at night, when its leaves cool off.
Such rootless plants, of course, can be moved with ease, but they will only
grow when they are placed out in the open. If they are placed too near a house,
the radiation from the heat of the house prevents the leaves from cooling and
so prevents dew from forming, and the plant dies. In the southern United States
and in Puerto Rico, one sees bromeliads growing high above the streets on the
insulation（絕緣物）of
electric wires. These plants get their water from rain, and the only soil they
ever come in contact with is the dust that may blow on their leaves.
57．Wood becomes larger because of .
A．dead cell walls B．water entering dead cells
C．the growth of cells D．the death of cells
58．From the passage we know that the evolutionary scale is graded according to .
A．evolutionary cycles B．heights and depths C．time D．kinds
59．The “bromeliad” is a plant that .
A．has useless roots B．is a pineapple
C．can grow anywhere D．takes up water through its leaves
60．The most suitable title for this passage is “ ”.
A．Absorption of water by plants B．Rootless plants
C．Plants in the desert D．Higher plants

Dear Mary
I am a Senior 3 student. I’m going to take part in this summer’s college entrance examination. In preparation for it, I am studying very hard. As a result, I often feel exhausted both physically and mentally. However, my parents still put a lot of pressure on me. I know they have great expectations for me, but I feel that the pressure is too heavy for me to cope with. I attempted to communicate with them, but failed.
Now I’m quite upset about it. How can my parents understand me? I really don’t know what to do. Could you please give me some advice?
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
