In learning English, one should first pay attention to （注意） listening and speaking. It is the groundwork of reading and writing. You’d better try your best to speak while you do much listening. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. Be careful not to let them stop you from improving your English. While you are doing this, a good way is to write—keep a diary, write notes or letters; then if you can, ask some people to go through what you have written and tell you what you’ve done wrong. Many mistakes in your speaking will be easily pointed out in your writing. Through correcting the mistakes, you can do better in learning English.
If you are slow in speaking, don’t worry. One of the helpful ways is reading, either aloud or to yourself. The important thing is to choose something interesting to read. It mustn’t be too difficult for you. When you are reading in this way, don’t stop to look up the words if you can guess their meanings. When they have nothing important to do with the sentence, you can do that some other time.
51. The underlined word “groundwork” means ______ in Chinese.
A. 地上工作 B. 低级工作 C. 基础 D. 地平线
52. When you do much listening,______ .
A. you shouldn’t write anything B. you should not make mistakes
C. you can stop to look up new words D. you should try your best to speak
53. ______ is a helpful way to improve your speaking.
A. Reading aloud or to yourself B. Reading something very difficult
C. Looking up new words D. Guessing the new words’ meanings
54. Which of the following is wrong?
A. We can read something interesting to improve our speaking skill.
B. We can write notes or letters to improve our English.
C. We needn’t correct the mistakes while writing.
D. While reading, we should not stop to look up new words.
55. The best title is ______ .
A. You’d better try your best to speak English
B. How to improve your listening and speaking
C. How to write notes or letters in English
D. Be careful not to make mistakes in English
C
All around the world, people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries, people have very different ideas about drinking tea.
In China, for example, people always drink tea when they are going together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouses. They prefer their tea plain, with nothing else in it.
Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called tea ceremony (典礼). It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special way for it in Japanese homes.
Another tea-drinking country is England. In England, the late afternoon is “tea time”. Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They also eat cakes，cookies and a little sandwiches at tea time. This is so called “Afternoon Tea” in Britain.
In the United States, people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots(茶壶).In summer, many Americans drink cold tea. Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans like soda (汽水).
56. Tea is popular .
A. all around the world
B. only in English-speaking countries

16. teacher 17.soccer 18.China 19.41 20.films
21. A “a number of+名词”表示“大量的……”，作主语时谓语动词要用复数。而have been to表示去过某地（人已经回来了）；have gone to表示去了某地（人还没有回来）。根据句中many times“许多次”可知，要用have been to，故选A。
22. A as...as之间用形容词或副词的原级，排除C、D两项，在连系动词be之后应用形容词作表语。故选A。
23. D 句意：这家餐厅足够大，能容纳300人。副词enough修饰形容词时，enough需后置。由句意知选D。
24. B 句意：如果你多读书，你的生活就会充满乐趣。be full of 意为“充满”。故选B。
25. B but意为“但是”；and意为“和，于是”；after意为“在……之后”；or意为“否则”。根据句意“戴维，早点起床，那么你就会赶上早班公共汽车”可知选B。

27. D -ed形式的形容词用来修饰人，-ing形式的形容词用来修饰物或事，可排除A、B两项；live to意为“活到……”，是固定短语，故选D。
28. B “the+比较级，the+比较级”结构表示“越……（就）越……”。“feel+形容词”为系表结构，happy的比较级形式是happier。
29. A used to do sth.意为“过去常常做某事”。
30. C 宾语从句用陈述语序，排除A、D。for two weeks必须与延续性动词连用，keep为延续性动词，borrow为非延续性动词。
31. A until“到……为止”；while“当……时候”；when“当……时候”；after“在……之后”。句意为“许多人直到失去了(健康），才知道健康的重要性”。not...until“直到……才”，所以选择A。
32. A 句意：“为什么街上有这么多人？”“因为他们在等着看龙舟赛。”由此可知答案选A。
33. B 本句的中心词thing是名词，因此用what引导感叹句，而thing是可数名词单数，所以用“What+a/an+形容词+可数名词单数+主语+谓语+其他！”句型。故选B。
34. B 在含有if引导的条件状语从句的主从复合句中，主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表将来。从句中的主语it是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词用rains。
35. B be made of“由……制成”，能从制成品中看出原材料;be made from也意为“由……制成”，但从制成品中看不出原材料。桌子由木头制成，能从制成品中看出原材料，因此用be made of。

40. B 这里“both...and...”连接两个时间状语从句，两个引导词一致为when。

One possible version:
Group work is often organized in the English classroom. Let me show you how to do it. Firstly, we have different tasks in group work. Secondly，we discuss the topic the teacher provides. Thirdly, someone writes down the key points and forms a report. Fourthly, we must finish the task in time. At last，one of us comes to the front to make a report.
As for me/In my opinion/In my view, I like the way we study, because it is very interesting and useful. I can talk freely. I can improve my English.（I don’t like the way we study, because I think it’s boring. What’s more, I am afraid of making mistakes while talking.
