Today, I am going to talk about the negative role of prac
23、tice in English learning. If you ask “How can I learn to speak English better?“, many people will tell you “Practice, practice, practice“. “Speak and write in English whenever you can“they will say. All English classes are full of activities which involve speaking and writing which are supposed to h
24、elp you with your English. We agree that practice can be very useful. It“s even necessary to learn English well. So what“s the problem? The problem is that for many learners, “speaking“ or “writing“ means “making a lot of mistakes“. Some people make a mistake in every sentence! If you don“t make man
25、y mistakes, then you can speak or write in English and it can only help. But if you make many mistakes, then every time you write or speak, you reinforce your mistakes. As you write or speak, you repeat your mistakes constantly and your incorrect habits become stronger. Imagine this situation: You a
26、re writing an e-mail message in English. Your English is not perfect and you want to write the message quickly. You write incorrectly: “I want speak English.“ When you write a sentence, you also read it. So the incorrect sentence goes into your head. The next time you write a message, you will be mo
27、re likely to write “I want finish“ or “I want be happy“. Why? Because “I want speak English“ is fresh in your headyou“ve just used it! And when you write “I want do something“ the second time, you“ve got “bad habit“, or a reinforced mistake. Now do you see our point? You writeyou make mistakesthose
28、mistakes become your habit, they become your way of writing in English. So, the more you write, the worse your English becomes. We have said that you need practice to learn English. We have also said that when you practice, you reinforce your mistakes. Michal suggests a simple solution to this parad
29、ox: Never make mistakes! According to what he says, it is close to the truth that you have never written an incorrect English sentence. You knew many grammatical structures and you used only those that you knew. Your sentences were similar to sentences which you knew to be correct. You followed good
30、 examples, so all your sentences were good. In the beginning, you could write only very simple sentences, but all the simple sentences were correct. Then as you advanced, you added more and more complicated structures, and again all your “sentences were correct. Because of this approach, you were ne
31、ver reinforcing bad habits. You never had any bad habits! From the beginning, you copied only correct sentences. With every sentence that you wrote, you reinforced your good habits. On the other side, if you make many mistakes, speaking and writing is not the way to eliminate them! On the contrary,
32、it reinforces them, as we have shown earlier. You have to realize that speaking does not improve your grammar or your vocabulary. It“s really very simple. Can you learn a new word from yourself?. If you don“t know how to say “Good bye“ in English, can you invent it by yourself? No, you can“t. You ca
33、n only learn it by reading or listening to English. So what you should do if you can“t help but make mistakes in your English sentences? If you make mistakes, that means you don“t know how to say things in English. You need to learn how to say them. You won“t learn that by speaking or writing. You m
34、ust read and listen to correct English sentences. You can speak and write laterwhen you can already build correct English sentences and want to improve your fluency. Perhaps you can benefit from corrections if you get a few corrections per week. But when there are many mistakes, you become unable to
35、 concentrate on them. If a teacher returns your composition with 20 corrected mistakes, how many of these corrections can you keep in your mind? Besides, your teacher is not always there. What if you“re writing an e-mail message on your own or talking to someone else? Other people usually ignore you
36、r mistakes, and even your teacher does not point out all of them. The conclusion would be that fighting your mistakes is not easy, so it“s better to avoid making mistakes altogether. First, try to be more careful by using the rules of error-free speaking. If you still make a lot of mistakes, or if y
37、ou find that the rules are killing your motivation, you probably shouldn“t open your mouth just now. Instead, try to get more input by reading and listening in English. True, but believe usyou can learn English with almost no mistakes. How? You can fill your brain with correct sentences and imitate
38、them. You can simply follow good examples. Moreover, sometimes you can say or write something which you think is wrong. You can do it if you want to learn how to say something in English. For example, if you are talking to a native speaker, you can do this: First, say “I“m not sure how to say this i
39、n English, but.“ and then say your sentence which is probably wrong. And the other person can tell you how to say it in English correctly. From that you learn the correct way to say the sentence. Notice that this technique is only safe if you know that you are saying something which may be wrong, or
40、 you are sure that the other person will correct you if you make a mistake. And you use it only occasionally. In summary, it should be noted that practice can also serve as a negative factor in English learning. Hope all of you can find the solution to it from today“s lecture. 解析 讲座的主题是“the negative
41、 role of practice in English learning(练习在英语学习中的消极作用)”,在提到人们对于 practice看法的时候,讲座人提到了“但如果你练习时有很多错误,那么,每当你写作或说话时,你是在巩固你的错误”,由此可知答案为 reinforce或 increase。解析:making the same解析 讲座中提到 a bad habit的情形是当你第二次写“I want do something”时,第一次写这个句子是犯错误。第二次写即是犯同样的错误,所以应填入 making the same。解析:practice/speaking and writing解
42、析 此题谈论练习的消极作用,录音中提到“因此,你写得越多,犯的错误也就越多。”根据原文可知,speaking this quality is something you appreciate in a conversation and makes you feel like you can connect to that person easily. Okay, just to sum up. Today we“ve talked about five easily made mistakes in a conversation. These mistakes can be well-impr
43、oved if you follow our solutions. Although the list is not complete, I hope it would be helpful. 解析 录音开篇就提到了讲座的主题是“对话中 5种常见错误以及对策”。在提到第一点 not listening的时候,讲座人给出了解决方法“避免提问是非题”,因此答案为 yes or no。解析:interrogation解析 在提到第二点对话常见错误“问太多问题”时,讲座指出“如果你问太多的问题,对话就会像审讯(interrogation)”。因此答案为 interrogation。解析:mix解析 本
44、题谈论交谈过程中如何避免犯“问太多问题”的错误,录音原文提到“一种办法就是边叙述边发问”。因此答案为 mix。解析:undertone解析 录音在提到 poor delivery时,讲到需要考虑的第二个事情是 speaking up“大声说”,所以 poor delivery表现出来的问题之一就是说话小声,所以填入 undertone。解析:emotion解析 本题关于第三个问题 poor delivery。录音提到,“说话要有感情”,可见问题应该在于说话“没有感情”。因此应填入 emotion。解析:mumble解析 提出第三点之后,录音原文中紧接着列举了 poor delivery(表达技
45、巧欠佳)的六种具体表现,并说明了每种问题的 solutions(解决方法)。在第三个解决办法中提到“说话要清晰,不要含糊不清”。因此答案为 mumble。若此处漏掉了笔记,从空白处上面 A中的第三点问题 speak unclear可以推测解决方法应为讲话不含糊,即为 do not mumble。解析:monotone解析 在讲到说话要有感情时,讲座人说如果你说话很单调,没人愿意听很久,所以解决方法就是不要用“单调的”声音,答案为 monotone。解析:body language解析 录音提到“学会改善你的 body language”,因此答案为 body language。在这一段里 bo
46、dy language反复出现,属于关键词,应该做好笔记。解析:negative解析 录音提到,“第四个问题是谈论古怪或消极的话题”,可知答案为 negative。若此处没有笔记,可由之后 A中的具体内容 serial killers(连环杀手)推测,此类问题应该不是正面的话题。解析:crappy解析 讲座提到谈论你“讨厌的”工作或老板以及连环杀手是要绕开的话题,因此答案为crappy。解析:technical lingo解析 关于要绕开的话题还包括只有你和其他一些家伙才能理解的技术术语,因此答案为 technical lingo。解析:politics解析 录音提到,“应该避免宗教和政治话题
47、”。因此答案为 politics。由空格前的并列内容 religion可知,空白处应填入名词性实词,再结合题目确定应填入 politics。解析:positive stuff解析 本题讲的是最后一个问题的解决方法,录音提到“想要有大家都感兴趣的话题可讲,方法之一就是过有趣的生活,重点关注积极的事物。”因此答案为 positive stuff。解析:be open to解析 在讲到最后一个问题的解决方法时,讲座提到对很多事情都了解一些或者至少对于讨论这些话题是敞开的,而不是尽力操纵谈话回到你喜欢的主题,是很棒的一个优点,文中的原词是being open to,空格处应填入动词原形,因此答案为 b
48、e open to。解析:relaxed and open解析 本题与上一题属于并列内容,都是最后一个问题(being boring)的解决方法。录音提到“会让对话更加轻松和不受限制”,可知答案为 relaxed and open。三、SECTION B(总题数:4,分数:40.00)(分数:10.00)A.It devotes more pages to sports events. B.It puts the horoscopes on the front page.C.It has a much longer history.D.It contains more pictures.解析:
49、听力原文 M: Have you seen this story in The Herald ? It says The Times is closing down in three months“ time. W: Gary, that“s good news, that newspaper is terrible. I won“t miss it. M: What do you mean? The Times is the best newspaper in the city. If that closes, we“ll only have The Herald and that City Journal which is too awful for words. W: You only like The Times because it takes up to 20 pages every day with sports. This is a newspaper which puts the horoscopes on
