Everyone was afraid of SARS, so I stayed at home with 2 to do. My father brought me a Japanese book. “Why don’t you translate it into Chinese? It will be better than 3 computer games all day.” I promised(许诺) to do 2,000 words each day. But 4 I found it was hard to keep the promise. One day in May, the weather was beautiful. But I couldn’t go out. Those 2,000 words were still 5 me. After translating only threepages, I already lost interest in the book. I looked at it for along time. But I couldn’t make myself turn the pages. How wished I could just go outside and 6 football with my friends! I counted the words again and again. I just wanted to give up. I felt as if two people were fighting 7 my mind. One said, “Don’t give up! Keep working hard, and you’ll do well!” But then the other one said, “Go and play! It will be more 8 than translating.

He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people?s rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and thepeculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way.Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, "How shall I begin?" onlymeans that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you becomemore experienced you willnever ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.1. A friend of the writer?s drew the horses ____.A. very wellB. in the way of western ruleC. in the way of his own ruleD. all of the above2. The writer was surprised because ____.A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horseB. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horseC. the artist made his own ruleD. the artist did not follow other people?s rule3. You are not yet experienced because ____.A. you don?t know where to beginB. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tailC. you always asked questionD. you do not trust to your own powers4. When you become more experienced you will ____.A. never ask questionB. often begin at the tailC. should write the end of the storyD. should think of the beginning5. The topic of the passage is ______.A. How to draw a horseB. How to write a storyC. How to make your own rulesD. Trust to your own powers答案:CDDCD(二)When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence I your own language.Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. It?s important to master(掌握) the rules(规则) for word order in the study of English, too. If the sentences put words in a wrong order, the listeners can?t understand the speakers? sentences easily. Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn?t change. Let?s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”“I?ve seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”When you are learning English, you must do your best to get thespirit(精神实际) of the languageand use it as the English speakers do.( )1. From the passage we know that when we are learning English.A. we shouln?t put every word into our own languageB. we shouldn?t look up every word in the dictionaryC. we need to put every word into our own languageD. we must read word by word( )2. The writer thinks it is in learning English.A. difficult to understand different soundsB. possible to remember the word orderC. important to master the rules in different wayD. easy to master the rules for word order( )3. We can learn from the passage that .A. the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the wordsB. the order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentenceC. sometimes different order of words has a different meaningD. if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different( )4. “She only likes apples,”A. is the same as “Only she likes apple”.B. is different from “Only she likes apple”.C. means “She likes fruit except apples”.D. means “She doesn?t like apples”.( )5. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Different Orders, Different MeaningsB. How to speak English?C. How to Put English into Our Own Language?D. How to Learn English?一. 09成都市A阅读下面短文, 根据短文的内容判断句子的正误.正确的涂“A”, 错误的涂“B”.I have never taken cooking classes. I learned cooking from my mother because she was really interested in teaching me how to cook. The main reason for this was because when my mother got married, she didn't know how to cook anything, not even an egg. My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking.My mother did not start to cook until she was twenty-five years old. In the beginning, it was very hard for her. Therefore, she had to take cooking classes to prepare(准备)our meals. Afterhaving that experience, she decided to teach me how to cook because she didn't want me to have the same experience.I remember when I was seven years old, I started to learn cooking from my mother. Sometimes we prepared the meals that my mother already knew how make, and sometimes we prepared meals from recipes. Thanks to that experience, now I don't need any help to cook a meal. I can cook for myself or for a group of people; it doesn't matter. I will do the same with my children because I don't want them to have the same experience as my mother. If one day I am not with them, I want to be sure that they can continue their life without me.61.The author learned cooking from her mother because they all liked cooking.62.The author?s mother learned cooking by taking cooking classes.63.The author began to learn to cook when she was seven years old.64.The author learned cooking only by preparing the meals she knew quite well.65.The author will do as her mother to make her children know the way of cooking.BThe computer is fast and hardly makes a mistake, while people are slow and make mistakes sometimes.
