6．English is a very interesting language．It has borrowed words from many other languages．Immigrants coming into the United States have contributed many words to the language，which have kept their original pronunciation．"Coolie"and"kowtow"were taken from the Chinese language，"kamikaze from the Japanese，"shampoo"from India，"blitz"from German，"amigo"and"Los Angeles"from Spanish and so on．
Many students have studied English for years，some as many as eight．However，some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English．Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them．In our Oral English classes we will focus on speaking and listening to native English speakers．For this reason，because we are trying to train your ears to hear English and your mouths to speak intelligible （易理解的） English，we will have a rule that ONLY ENGLISH will be spoken in our English classes．Anyone speaking Chinese in class will be required to pay a fine in order to encourage the speaking and understanding of English．If teachers enter a classroom and discover that anyone is speaking Chinese，they will require everyone in the room to pay the fine．It is everyone's job to enforce the English-Only rule．It is for your bene fit．It is because we want to accustom your ears to hearing English．
Other subjects may be learned only from books but the only way to learn a foreign language is to SPEAK IT!Students are often nervous about speaking in class at first but we hope to make the classes fun，so you will forget your nervousness and learn to speak out．Enjoy your classes．

26．B猜測詞義題．根據(jù)句子some students still have difficulty in speaking fluent English．有些學(xué)生講流利的英語仍然有困難．Some know many words but are unable to discern them when native speakers use them．句意中一些人知道很多詞而不明白它們的意思，"discern"這個(gè)詞的意思為"仔細(xì)識(shí)別，明白"．可得知答案選A．
