Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. __1__.
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. __2__What you need to do is to find listening resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download RealPlayer from RealMedia. Com. RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated(挫败)by limited understanding. __3__
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
·Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
·Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
·Do not translate everything into your native language.
·__4__Don’t concentrate on details until you have understood the main idea.
·Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. __5__Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts. Firstly, translating creates a barrier(障碍) between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A．This method usually resulted in confusion(困惑).
B．But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!
C．What should you do?
D．But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
E.The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.
F.However, after several weeks, I got used to the grammar rules.
G. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
Lots of kids go through times when they’d like to change their hair. Often, it’s girls who are most concerned(关心的), but boys may be interested in how their hair looks, too. Sometimes hair will change as you get older----all by itself----when you go through puberty(青春期).
Maybe it used to be lighter and now it’s darker. Or maybe it’s oilier than it used to be, and now you need to wash it more. It’s also normal, as you’re getting older, to notice your appearance more often. You might suddenly decide you want a hairstyle like other kids at school have. But some styles and looks require chemical treatments and long hours in the chair at the hair salon. Some people dye(染)their hair a different color, get a bunch of braids(辫子），or make their hair straight when it’s curly（卷曲). Are these treatments OK for kids? That’s something you should discuss with your parents. At any age, any chemical or heat applied to(应用于) the hair can damage the hair or cause it to break off.
Any styling that pulls hard on the hair can also hurt the scalp(头皮) or cause hair loss. Styling tools, such as curling irons and straightening irons, get very hot and can cause burns. And chemicals used to color, curl, or straighten hair can be very harmful if they get into your eyes or onto your skin.
1.The word “kid”in this passage refers to ____________.
A．girls B．boys C．students D．not only girls but also boys
2.Which of the following is NOT the cause of changes of one’s hair mentioned in the passage?
A．Change the hair style to act in a play.
B．It changes naturally with the age.
C．You want to make yourself look beautiful or cool.
D．A boy’s hair may become darker and darker when he gets older.
3.What’s the main idea of the last two paragraphs of this passage?
A．If you want to change the color of your hair, you have to use chemical.
B．Hair can be straightened with an instrument.
C．You’d better change your hair with the help of your parents.
D．Hair change by chemicals or instruments can harm the hair or the scalp。
When my daughter was in the fifth grade, she came home from school almost every night with three or more hours of homework. It was my duty to help her get it done. One night she worked until midnight doing her homework.
I felt annoyed, but I didn’t want the teacher to think I was lazy. So I never complained. I wasn’t sure, but it seemed to me that five hours of homework was a bit too much for a fifth grade student.
Later, I found out that parents and educators have discussed about homework for more than a century. Parents who like more homework want to give their children every advantage to succeed in today’s world. Some educators see homework as a way to help students perform better in tests.
Other parents dislike the recent trend toward more homework. They don’t want to stay up until midnight helping their children. They would prefer to spend their time going to the park or reading some really good books with their children. Added to the opposition(反对)are those who say that homework increases the gap(差距)between the rich and the poor. That’s because middle class families do better when it comes to helping their children with their homework.
So, who is right? Is homework an enemy or a help? According to experts, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
1.The author thought that her daughter’s homework _________.
A．was too difficult
B．was too much to finish
C．was done more carefully than other students’
D．could be done as long as she helped her daughter
2.The author never complained to the teacher because _________.
A．she was too angry to talk with the teacher.
B．she did not like complaining.
C．she was afraid of being thought lazy by the teacher.
D．her daughter would be annoyed if she complained.
3.In the last paragraph, experts __________.
A．think middle school students should do lots of homework.
B．haven’t come up with any idea to solve this problem.
C．think homework should be given, but not too much.
D．support the idea that homework is good for students.
As most people know, in the past few years, sandstorms have swept across many cities and areas of North China, polluting the air and disturbing daily lives of human beings. People look dirty and suffer many kinds of illnesses, such as breath difficulty. The sandstorm is such a serious problem that it has not only undermined the industrial and agricultural development of our country but also caused a lot of trouble to the living conditions of the Chinese people. It is expected that effective(有效的) measures should be taken as soon as possible through our joint efforts to limit its occurrence.
So what should we do with the frightening sandstorms? Some experts put forward practical suggestions as follows: For one thing, more funs(基金)ought to be put into tree planting and forest protection so as to keep more water resources within the surface of the earth. For another, governments of all countries should make laws on environmental protection.For example, banning the use of throw-away chopsticks and punishing illegal tree cutting. Scientists should also study and find ways to cut down the degree of its destruction and to improve the whole environment.
How people look forward to sunny days with little breeze(微风)touching their faces now and forever! Nevertheless, I am fully confident that the golden days can come back so long as everyone tried his best to protect natural environment from today on.

A．Unconfident B．Optimistic C．Regretful D．Satisfied
