Learning another language isn't easy, but most people can learn a second language well if they’re willing to put in the necessary time. Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively, overcoming anxiety, and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in foreign language classes.

Study every day

Language learning is cumulative: you cannot put it off until the weekend. Study one or two hours for every class hour if you want a good mark.

Distribute your study time in 15 to 30 minutes period throughout the day

Study a different task each time: vocabulary now, grammar next, etc. Get an overview during the first half hour: spend 10 minutes reviewing dialog, 10 minutes learning new vocabulary, 10 minutes learning new grammar... So you'll at least have looked at it all. About 80~of your study time should be spent on recitation or practice.

Attend and participate in every class—even if you aren't well prepared

Class time is your best opportunity to practice, learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time. Spend a few minutes "warming up" before each class by speaking or reading the language.

Make yourself comfortable in the classroom

Get to know your classmates, so you'll feel you’re among friends. Visit your teacher during office hours to get aquainted(熟悉的):explain your goals and fears about the course to your teacher.

Learn grammar if you don't already know it

Grammar is the skeleton(骨架) and the basic structure of a language, and you must learn it.

Practice for tests by doing what you'll have to do on the test

If the test will require you to write, then study by writing--including spelling and accents. If you're asked to listen, practice listening. Ask for practice questions and make up your own test questions. Try to invent changes on patterns and forms. Over learning is also required in tests preparation:study beyond the paints of recognition to mastery.

Develop a good attitude

Have a clear personal reason for taking the class. Set personal goals for what you want to learn. Leave perfectionism at the door; give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.

16. What does the underlined word "cumulative" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

    A. process of gaining knowledge or skill by doing and seeing things

    B. having to do with comparison

    C. having ability to do what is needed

    D. increasing in amount by one addition after another

17. A good learner is one who ________ according to the passage.

    A. never permits himself to make mistakes

    B. can learn something from the mistakes he makes

    C. follows the goals that other persons set for themselves

    D. can get to know his classmates and doesn't take his teachers' advice

18. What would be the best title for the passage?

   A. Tips on studying a foreign language. 

   B. Advice on how to learn grammar.

   C. Suggestions for studying vocabulary effectively.     

   D. How to make yourself comfortable in the classroom.

16---18    DBA  


解析:

本文說明了學習一門語言并不是那么困難,文中作者提出了一些好的建議,看后,你會從中得到一些啟發(fā)。

16.D.猜詞悟義題。從上下文看,下文的“不要把語言學習聚積在周末,每次學習一兩個小時”表明該詞的含義是D,不間斷地每次學一點。

17.B.細節(jié)理解題。本文最后一段說,“把完美主義留在門口,允許自己犯錯誤并從中學到知識”。

18.A.主旨要義題。全文介紹語言學習的一些好辦法,如每天學習不間斷,每節(jié)課不拉下,積極參與課堂訓練,培養(yǎng)好的學習態(tài)度等,因此本題選A作為全文的標題。

in order to know a foreign language thoroughly(完全地), four things are necessary.

Finally, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.

There are no shortcuts to succeed in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. it is not much learning by heart long lists ( 一覽表 ) of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must "learn through use". Practice is important.
