They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into th
25、ree groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listenandrepeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied word
26、s from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as
27、 Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learnt these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learnt the

40、knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to Chinese students, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” _36_ I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find su
41、itable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. _37_ However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know._38_ Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy an
42、d nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, and talk
43、 to someone in English, as quickly as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter. _39_The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most
44、Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive (主动的) language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their spoken English always remains poor. _40_AThe person you are
45、speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.BObviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.CThey may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.DIf you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.ESecond, they
46、 are afraid of making mistakes.FHowever, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”！GThe second reason is the reluctance of using what has just been learned.第三部分语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。About two months ago, my computer broke and I have be
