19、aring waters in this province. “We have a lot of opportunities for ice fishing here, especially when most lakes are covered with ice for almost half of the year.”It is estimated that one third of those who fish during the summer also fish in the winter.

In the

37、 1400s, Florence had schools called Abbaco School, where boys learned finger reckoning, a kind of math sign language. They studied multiplication, money, weights and measures. After finishing Abbaco School at 12 or 13 years old, many students started working at banks or as merchants right away.Paris

38、, France, 1600ADFor many centuries, teenagers have been workers in training. This meant a young boy must go to live with a master who was very skilled at a certain job. The parents paid the master, and the student ate, slept, and worked at the masters workshop. Most teenagers started at about 11 or

39、12 years of age. How long they lived and worked with a master depended on the trade they were learning, most of which lasted seven to eight years.England, 1850ADIn 19th-century England, parents who could afford it sent their sons to private boarding schools. Boarding school students learned little t

40、hat would help them at work. Instead they learned Latin, Greek, ancient history, and geography. Parents believed that these studies would make their sons better people.

Whenever I speak toa Chinese student, they always s

44、ay, “My spoken English is poor.”36I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.37However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attit

45、ude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.38Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and 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 gr

46、ammar and using them to get your message across. But to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter.39The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All

47、 the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most 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 the

48、ir English always remains poor.40A. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.C. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.D. However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”!E. The second reason lies in the relu

49、ctance of using what has just been learned.F. The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.G. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完型填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后
