命题人：楚晓燕ALearner s of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their listening ability.First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “fashionable”.Thirdly, listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in some special English programs, such as V.O.A. or other listening materials of the same level asthat of your textbook.21. This is a piece of advice to learners of English on how to ______________.A. improve their listening abilityB. read fastC. write better English and read fasterD. speak correctly22. If you wan t to understand the English news program on the radio, youshould________.A. read the Chinese language newspaper step by stepB. read again and again the Chinese language newspaperC. go through the Chinese language newspaper firstD. be able to recite the Chinese language newspaper23. The author advised that once you have taken up a course, you _______.A. should stick to it.B. should begin with the l ast bookC. should take up other courses if they are more fashionableD. shouldn’t do anything else24. In this passage, V.O.A. stands for______________.A. a bookB. a magazineC. a text-bookD. a radio stationBSome people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman sa ys, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change thesubject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a factthat he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means no t just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. Ifyou’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshak e and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.25. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______.A. for you to make more and more old friendsB. to begin your political talksC. to get the conversation going smoothlyD. for you to make a deep and lasting impression on your teachers.26. Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who _______.A. are good at making any topic interestingB. never talk too much or too littleC. a lways speak in a rude wayD. know how and when they should change the topic of the talk27. If you really want to meet someone again, _______.A. you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friendB. it seems necessary for you to let him know itC. it’s proper for you to give him some gifts.D. it’ll be helpful for him to have further understanding of you.28. If you are a good talker, you _____A. always change the subject of your conversation.B. always ask personal questions.C. always listen to othersD. know when to change the subject.CWhen I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously , did not give her good service ,pretended not to understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her .My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she . I was forced to askfor information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent(（青春期的) voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan..”And my mother was standing beside me , whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check already two week late.”And then , in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concern ed .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his b oss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t rec eive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I seeit differently.To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue.

Men were certain that no woman could do a good job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea that when the well-known Bronte sisters began writing books in 1864, they had to sign their books with men’s names instead.Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to accept women.Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Nightingale became famous. Seeing that she was not only a nurse but also a rich and well-educated woman, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training s chool for nurse in 1860.The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed tobecome doctors or lawyers. The idea that women could work in the business world had been accepted.33. Why couldn’t women become teachers easily?
