Learning strategies are "Procedures or techniques that learners can use to facilitate a learning task." Instructing studentsof English in learning strategies can help them become better learners. In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming independent, confident learners. Finally, students become more motivated as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English. Students need to develop an awareness of the learning process and strategies that lead to success. Students who reflect on their own thinking are more likely to engage in planning how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to problems encountered, and evaluating themselves upon task completion. These activities may be difficult for studentsaccustomed to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems and is the sole judge of their progress.Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves. Because learning strategies are mental processes with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible. When students are able to use the strategies their teachers have taught them, and to do so without prompting, then they need to explore new strategies, new applications, and new opportunities for self-regulated learning.(1). Better learning strategies can make language learning more( ).A. funB. interesting C. efficientD. exciting(2). Students who reflect on their own ( )will be more successful in learning.A. thinkingB. evaluationC. performance D. activities(3). Teachers should encourage students to rely more on( )A. booksB. notesC. tutorsD. themselves(4).

( )A. Students learn learning strategies from the teachers only.B. Learning strategies are completely unobservable. C. Students need to explore new learning strategies for themselves.D. Teachers are the sole judges of students’ progress.2. Most animals have little connection with animals of different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership ( 伙伴关系 ) which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites （寄生虫 ) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals ( 珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants act as "dustman", taking some of the waste products form the corals and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are ever prevented from lighting so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.(1). Some birds like to sit on a sheep because ( ).A. they can eat its parasitesB. they depend on the sheep for existenceC. they enjoy traveling with the sheep D. they find the position most comfortable(2). The underlined word "they" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ( ).A. birds and parasites B. birds and sheepC. parasites and sheep D. sheep, birds and parasites(3). What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? ( )A. Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.B. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.C. Some plants depend on each other for fooD. Some animals live better together.(4). What does this article talk about? ( )A. Two kinds of animals for a partnership.B. Most animals only have connection with animals.C. The connection between the living things.D. Corals have some connection with plants.3. Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately,that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to “light” beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. Doctors found that less than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to reduce weight said they were combining exercise with their diet. Still, exercise’s supporting role in weight reduction is necessary. A study confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight. If you have been sedentary and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year’ time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lost ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.(1). According to the passage, what is the advantage of exercise mentioned by the author? ( )A. It can help you keep good health. B.It can help you maintain body weight.C. It can help you get rid of illness. D.It can help you find a good job.(2). When American people decided to lose their weight, what would they rather try? ( )A. To do exercise.B. To try some “light” beer.C. To try some “light” beer and low-calorie bread.D. To try both A and C.(3). The following statements are true except ( ).A. If people try some special food such as “light” beer when they want to lose weight, they would not regain their old weight.B. Both the diet and exercise play an important role in losing weight.C. Few American people who were trying to reduce weight would do exercise with their diet.D. If people walk one mile daily, and keep doing so for one year with diet, he would lost ten pounds.(4). The word “reduce” (Para. 1 ) probably means ( ).A. decreaseB. loseC. lessenD. cut down(5). This passage is mainly about ( ).A. the meaning of exerciseB. the way to reduce weightC. the relation between lose weight and exerciseD. the importance of losing weight4. How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined lo represent those sounds, and which could bewritten down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then lies in their associations—— the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain; words recall to, us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the, number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words whichappeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literarystyle. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar ( 庸俗的 )(1). The origin of language is ______A. a legend handed down from the pastB. a matter that is kept secretC. a question difficult to answerD. a problem not yet solved(2). One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions was that______A. they could agree upon certain signsB. they could write them downC. they could communicate with each otherD. they could combine them(3). By "association ", the author means ______.A. a special qualityB. a joining of ideas in the mindC. an appearance which is puzzlingD. a strange feature(4). In expressing their thoughts, great writers are able ______.A. to confuse the readers B. to move our actionsC. to move menD. to tears to puzzle our feelings(5). Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true?A. He is no more than a master of words.B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.C. He can move men to tears.D. His style is always charming.5. In Cardiff I was put to work in furniture department at one of the local stores. It was large, fairly out of date, run ( 经营 ), like its parent company in London, by a group of relatives. Being only a member of the store for a short time, I was in a very fortunate position. The others, particularly the older members of the store, werenaturally asked to produce good sales figures. I was more of an observer. If I made a sale, I was pleased, but if I didn’t, I would not be blamed. I was really there to observe and learn, and as I had no interest in making a position in the furniture business, I wasn’t too diligent ( 勤奋 ) about that either. One salesman in late middle age once expressed his insecurity ( 不安全感 ) by scolding me of trying to steal one of his customers ( 雇客 ). Nothing could have been further from the truth, but he demanded that I go to the stockroom ( 货仓 ) with him to settle the matter. He was very small and thin, but to my surprise he started dancing about among the carpets and closets working his arms wildly and calling on me to put them up . I couldn’t put anything up ---I was too busy rolling on a four-foot six - inch spring mattress ( 弹簧垫子 ) , helpless with laughter. Finally he saw the joke too, and we went off to the members store for a conciliatory( 和解 )cup of tea. Several days later, I finally left the store. Thank God!(1). The furniture department was run by ( )A. the author s parents B. the author s relatives C. some member of a big family D. the local government(2). The shop in Cardiff ( ).A. was big and very modern B. was old but beautiful C. didn’t sell furniture only was D. famous in London(3). The author was lucky because ( ).A. sales figures were not important B. for him he was younger than the others C. he produced good sales figuresD. his pay was higher(4). One salesman thought that ( ) .A. the author was more of an observer than a real member of the store B. what the author had said was far from the truth C. the author tried to get a person to buy the furniture dishonestly D. the writer destroyed a four-foot six - inch spring mattress (5). Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ( )A. The author only stayed in the shop for a short time because he was not interested in business. B. The author felt light - hearted when he left the shop. C. The author was punished for stealing money from the customer. D. The author was asked to put up the carpets.
