【题目】 “Suzanne Meyer, the assistant director of the English Language Institute at the University of Tennessee, says that many students need to learn how to collect information, and then evaluate the information and apply it to a new context. Meyer says: “【1】 . Question-asking activities help students to become better language learners. Question-asking may help develop critical thinking skills by allowing for more interactions.【2】 . When they are confident, they can have more interaction. That extra interaction might lead to critical thinking.”
How can you practice asking questions? There are many strategies to improve question-asking and develop critical thinking skills. 【3】 .
If students were reading a new text, they would design a series of questions using three different steps. In the first step, students create questions about information in the text that they are reading. In the second step, students create questions about how the information in the text connects to their own life. In the third step, students create questions about abstract ideas – ideas that came up in the questions about themselves.【4】 .
Practical Tips: Meyer says that when teachers tell students which questions to answer, students are less likely to be creative about the types of questions that they ask. 【5】 . Try making a list of questions that go from concrete to abstract. Check with your teacher to make sure that your grammar is correct, and try to practice in the classroom.
A.So, practice developing your own questions!
B.People who can ask questions should be very confident.
C.People can ask questions freely when they feel relaxed.
D.If people take some steps, they can find some useful question-asking patterns.
E.There are many benefits to using question-asking activities with English learners.
F.One possible strategy is to use question-asking patterns that start with concrete questions and move to abstract questions.
G.If students follow these three steps, they have not only practiced creative ways to ask questions, they have also started practicing critical thinking.

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了如何通过提问的方式学习英语。其中包括使用提问方式学习英语的好处、如何进行提问以及实用的提问技巧。
【1】根据下文Question-asking activities help students to become better language learners. Question-asking may help develop critical thinking skills by allowing for moreinteractions.(提问活动帮助学生成为更好的语言学习者。通过允许更多的互动,提问可以帮助发展批判性思维技能)可知都是在讲提问的益处。因此,本句是对这两句的概括、说明。故E选项“对英语学习者使用提问活动有很多好处”符合上下文语境。故选E。
【2】根据后文When they are confident, they can have more interaction.(当他们自信时,他们可以有更多的互动)由此可知,能够提问的人非常自信,而当他们自信的时候他们就可以有更多的互动。故B选项“能够提问的人应该非常自信”符合上下文语境。故选B。
【3】根据上文There are manystrategiesto improve question-asking and develop critical thinking skills.(有许多策略可以提高提问和发展批判性思维技能)由此可知,本句为列举其中一种提高提问和发展批判性思维技能的策略。故F选项“一种可能的策略是使用提问模式,从具体的问题开始,然后转向抽象的问题”符合上下文语境。故选F。
【4】根据上文In the first step, students create questions about information in the text that they are reading. In the second step, students create questions about how the information in the text connects to their own life. In the third step, students create questions about abstract ideas - ideas that came up in the questions about themselves.(在第一步,学生在他们正在阅读的文本中创造关于信息的问题。在第二步中,学生提出问题,说明课文中的信息是如何与他们自己的生活相联系的。在第三步中,学生提出关于抽象概念的问题——在关于他们自己的问题中出现的概念)可知是设计问题的三个步骤,而G项则说明了如果采取这三个步骤所带来的好处。故G选项“如果学生遵循这三个步骤,他们不仅练习了创造性的提问方式,他们也开始练习批判性思维”符合上下文语境。故选G。
【5】根据上文Meyer says that when teachers tell students which questions to answer, students are less likely to be creative about the types of questions that they ask.( Meyer说,当老师告诉学生该回答哪些问题时,学生对他们所问问题的类型就不太可能有创造性)可知如果老师告诉学生所要回答的问题,学生就不大可能对他们所要问的问题的类型具有创造性。因此,接下来应该说应开发自己所要提问的问题。故A选项“所以,练习提出你自己的问题吧!”符合上下文语境。故选A。
