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. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.

2. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The 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 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 before you have understood the main ideas.

● 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. This method usually resulted in confusion. 5. Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I did not pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.

A. What should you do?

B. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.

C. But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!

D. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!

E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.

F. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.

G.Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.

“Do you like doing things for people?” I asked a friend.

“Yes, most of the time,” she replied.

“Most of the time?”

“Well, I love to do things that are unexpected. I like to do little things most people wouldn't think about doing,” she said.

“But why did you say most of the time?”

“Well, sometimes after doing those little things people take advantage of you. I mean, they expect you to do it again. They ask you to do it. That’s when I don’t like it.”

It was odd that I had this conversation. This just happened to me. I love to do little things. I will pay for a meal card for the people in the office every time we have a meeting there. Not a big thing. It’s a little thing. $5.30 will pay for almost five lunches. Hey, big spender!

I also bought a bag of animal crackers for a friend at work. She was having a tough day and not very happy at all. I drove down to the Wal-Mart and picked up a huge bag for under $2.00. Her smile was worth it.

But one week she said, “Bob, we ran out of crackers. We love them so much.” I didn't want to do it. I smiled and she persisted. I finally admitted, “It’s different when I do it because I want to, but now you are trying to make me go to get them. It’s not the same.” But I bought it for her.

Unfortunately, a big fire in my family took away all the possessions we had. I didn’t know what to do and how to do it. What happened to me then surprised me most. I once had my bike repaired, but the repairman said “no charge” on hearing my sufferings. A stranger called James Kennedy read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for Slate, the online magazine, and wanted to give us a new house across the lake from New Orleans. I refused but I felt moved. Another poet at the University of Florida also wanted to let his house to me free of charge while he was on holiday. My mates gave us more money for us to rebuild my home. When you do something kind for others, do you always get rewarded? Yes, but not in the way you might expect.

1.What’s the main purpose of the first paragraph?

A. To tell the background of the story.

B. To attract the attention of the readers.

C. To get the readers to know main idea directly.

D. To explain the reasons why he wrote the passage.

2.What do we know about James Kennedy?

A. He was a writer of an online magazine.

B. He was also a poet at the University of Florida.

C. He offered the author a new house free of charge.

D. He learned about the author’s sufferings online.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Misfortune of blessing on happiness.

B. Never too late to learn.

C. Helping others means helping yourself.

D. Many hands make the work lighter.

Shirley Temple Black, who lifted America’s spirit as a bright-eyed child movie star during the Great Depression, peacefully passed away at her California home on Monday evening at 85, surrounded by her family and caregivers.

Temple, born on April 23, 1928, started her entertainment career in the early 1930s and was famous by age 6. Temple was 3 when her mother put her in dance school, where a talent scout spotted her and got her in Baby Burlesks, a series of short movies with child actors playing in adult movies.

Movie studio directors took notice of her and in 1934 she appeared in the film Stand Up and Cheer! and her song and dance caught people’s attention. Movies such as Little Miss Marker and Bright Eyes featured her signature song. In 1935, she received a special Oscar for her “outstanding contribution to screen entertainment” in the movie Stand Up and Cheer!

She made some 40 feature movies, including The Little Colonel, Poor Little Rich Girl, Heidi and Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, in 10 years, starring with big-name actors like Randolph Scott, Lionel Barrymore and Jimmy Durante. Temple was a superstar before the term was invented. She said she was about 8 when crowds shouting their love for her made her realize she was famous. “I wondered why,” she recalled. “I asked my mother and she said, ‘Because your films make them happy.’ ”

Her child career came to an end at 12. She tried a few roles as a teenager—including opposite future president Ronald Reagan in That Hagen Girl – but retired from the screen in 1949 at 21.

Temple was only 17 when she married for the first time to John Agar, who would eventually appear with her in two movies. Their five-year marriage produced a daughter. In 1950 she wed Charles Black in a marriage that lasted until his death in 2005. She and Black had two children. Temple’s interest in politics was sparked in the early 1950s when her husband was called back into the Navy to work in Washington.

1.For which movie did Shirley Temple win the Oscar?

A. That Hagen Girl

B. Little Miss Marker

C. Stand Up and Cheer

D. The Little Colonel

2.When Temple first caught the audience’s eyes, ____.

A. she hoped to play a role in a series of movies

B. her family was offered

C. her mother sent her to a local dance school

D. the United States was in fact in financial straits

3.After Temple got married to Charles Black, ____.

A. she might have begun her political life

B. she had to raise her two young children

C. she decided to work for the Navy

D. she ended her film career on screen

4.It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that ___.

A. people could find happiness in Temple’s films

科目：高中英語 來源：2014-2015學年江西南昌十所省命制高三第二次模擬6英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

The future of pinnipeds (鰭足動物)looks much brighter today than it once did. At one time, about 100 years ago, it seemed certain that many pinnipeds in the world would be destroyed by human hunters. Today, it appears that most species( 物種) of pinnipeds are out of danger.

Hunting was not controlled during the 18th and 19th centuries, because little was known about the lives of pinnipeds. Whales and pinnipeds were hunted for the oil from their body fat. This oil was used in lamps before electric lights were invented. Millions of seals and other pinnipeds were used to provide oil for the lamps of the world. As a result, the numbers of many pinniped species fell rapidly.

Several things happened that helped to save pinnipeds. First, species that were hunted to near extinction (滅絕) were left alone because their numbers were too low and the cost of hunting them went up greatly. At the same time, electric lights were invented and the market for seal oil became smaller. Finally, governments around the world made laws to protect pinnipeds.

As a result of all these things, the numbers of most pinniped species have grown in recent years. With some species, such as Northern fur seals, there may be as many animals alive today as there were before all the hunting began.

However, oil is still a danger to pinnipeds and all sea animals. But this time it’s not because they are hunted for their oil. The oil that puts them in danger is from oil spills(泄露) in the sea. The oil covers their fur and reduces their body temperatures. Oil also sticks to the foods they eat. This modern danger to pinnipeds and their environment is one we must work to prevent.

1. During the 18th and 19th century, _______.

A. people had realized the importance of pinnipeds

B. pinnipeds were hunted for their meat

C. pinnipeds had a better life than today

D. many families were using lamps

2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A. How electric lights were invented.

B. When people began to protect pinnipeds.

C. What governments around the world have done to save pinnipeds.

D. Why the numbers of some pinnipeds have increased.

3.It can be inferred from the passage that________.

A. the market for seal oil is growing

B. Northern fur seals aren’t in much danger now

C. oil spills are the biggest problem for pinnipeds

D. stricter laws need to be made to protect pinnipeds

4.In which part of a magazine can we most probably read this passage?

A. Wildlife. B. Lifestyle.

C. Tourism. D. Environment.
