题目内容
15.As an international student,you are probably not as comfortable listening and speaking as reading and writing in English.Here are some tips to help you strengthen your skills in conversation.Make friends with American students.Many international students make friends only with each other,which I don't think is a good idea.(36)GBesides,it helps you pick up cultural and social cues(信号).
(37)ATell your American friends that you are trying to improve your listening and speaking skills,and would like them to help you.If you pronounce a word incorrectly,or misuse an idiom,you want them to tell you.You will learn much faster this way.
Expand your knowledge.(38)FIf you have been exposed to topics that are likely to be discussed in conversation,you have a much better chance of understanding people when they talk,and of being able to express yourself well.This helps you overcome both a culture gap and language barriers-and gives you a great excuse to watch TV.
Become a tutor at your school.(39)D,you try to find alternative ways to make yourself understood.I owe most of my fluent English to my years of being a math tutor in college.Tutors are also usually relatively well paid,so this is a good way to make some extra cash while improving your conversational English skills(40).C
A.Learn from native speakers.
B.Once you have trouble in the U.S

D.If you have to explain something to someone in English

解答 GAFDC
36.G.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力.一开始提出Make friends with American students,所以否认国际生之间交朋友的方式,而是鼓励和美国人交友,即Hanging out with natives naturally pushes you to improve your oral English.后面进一步叙述这种益处;故选G.
37.A.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力.后面内容主要描述的是希望美国朋友在语言学校方面能够给自己的帮助,所以Learn from native speakers.正是本段叙述的重点;故选A.
38.F.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力.本段的开头提供的方法之一就是Expand your knowledge.那么具体的内容应该是Read books,keep up with news and watch popular shows and movies.通过这些途径更好的融入当地人的会话和交流中;故选F.
39.D.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力.该句后面you try to find alternative ways to make yourself understood是说你会努力找到相关的替代方法来表达你自己,那么前提条件应该是如果你想向别人解释某事物时,即if引导条件状语从句:D.If you have to explain something to someone in English,故选D.
40.C.考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力.最后这句话so this is a good way to make some extra cash while improving your conversational English skills点明了这种方法的双重好处,所以这是一个双赢的结果;故选C.
