题目内容
7.Do you like listening to English songs to learn the language?Some students don't believe doing so can help them learn English.I have to say they think wrongly.Listening to English songs can help you learn the language better.You may ask how.Just read on.Lyrics are not easily forgotten.You listen to them over and over again throughout your life.Once you learn them,they are going to stay with you,and you are going to review them repeatedly because you enjoy them.If you learn just one song per week for a year,those are 52songs full of new vocabulary and phrases that you will never forget.
Songs give you perfect pronunciation models.As you learn to sing them,you are practicing your pronunciation,you are imitating native speakers,and you are learning how to speak better.The rhythm naturally leads to better pronunciation,better intonation(声调),and more fluency.
When you start paying attention to the lyrics,your listening skills naturally improve.Once you learn a few songs,you'll start gathering a lot of songs and vocabulary.A larger vocabulary usually means better listening comprehension.Just the fact that you start caring about the lyrics will activate your listening skills and listening to music in English will become an enjoyable learning exercise.
Another huge merit is that you get to practice your grammar.Some of the most intelligent grammar questions my students bring to me come from songs.You can probably even map the entire language into pop songs and greatly improve your grammar by learning the lyrics to your favorite songs.
Now we can conclude that listening to English songs can really help you learn the language well.So listen to more English songs in your free time.You can put the lyrics on your ipod or iphone and read them as you listen.Believe me,and you'll benefit a lot.

分析 你喜欢听英语歌曲来学习语言吗?有些学生不相信这样做可以帮助他们学习英语.我不得不说他们想错了.听英语歌曲可以帮助你更好地学习语言.你可能会问怎样帮助学习语言,继续读下去.
歌词是不容易忘记的.在生活中你听了一遍又一遍.一旦你学习歌词,歌词也会和你在一起,你会重复多次回顾歌词,因为你喜欢它们,很享受.如果我们每周学习一首歌曲,一年就可以学会52首.每首歌里都有很多词汇和短语,同时我们也就学会了这些词汇和短语,你将永远不会忘记.
歌曲给你完美的发音模式.当你学会唱,你练习你的发音,你模仿以英语为母语的人,你正在学习如何更好地说语言.节奏自然会带来更好的发音,更好的声调,也更流畅.
当你开始注意歌词,你的听力自然提高.一旦你学会了几首歌,你会开始搜集大量的歌曲和词汇,词汇量越大,通常意味着听力理解会更好,就是这样的事实,你开始关心歌词将会激活你的听力技能,听英语歌曲将会成为一个愉快的学习练习.
另一个巨大的优点是你可以练习你的语法.我的学生问我的一些最机智的语法问题都来自歌曲,你甚至可以把整个语言编成流行歌曲,通过学习你最喜欢的歌曲的歌词来大大提高你的语法.
现在我们可以得出这样的结论:听英文歌曲真的可以帮助你更好地学习语言,所以在你的空闲时间听更多的英文歌曲,你可以把歌词放在你的iPod或iPhone上,当你听歌时,阅读它们.相信我,你会受益匪浅.
解答 32.B 细节理解题.根据第二段最后一句"If you learn just one song per week for a year,those are 52songs full of new vocabulary and phrases that you will never forget."可知,如果我们每周学习一首歌曲,一年就可以学会52首.每首歌里都有很多词汇和短语,同时我们也就学会了这些词汇和短语.所以,通过听英语歌曲,可以获得很大的词汇量,故选B.
33.A 词义猜测题.从文章第二段开始都在介绍通过听英文歌学习英语的好处,第二段中提及学英语歌曲对词汇的好处,第三段中提出对于发音的好处;第四段中提出对听力的好处.本句"Another huge merit is that you get to practice your grammar."中提出了听英文歌对语法的好处.所以该词指听音乐对人们学习英语的好处,故该词意为"advantage",B 选项"考虑",C选项"原因",D选项"惊奇",均排除,故选A.
34.D 主旨大意题.根据文章主题段第一段最后"Listening to English songs can help you learn the language better.You may ask how.Just read on."可知,本文主要提出通过学习英语歌曲可以促进我们的英语学习.并分别解释了各方面具体的理由.所以本文主旨应是"为什么听英语歌曲帮助我们提高英语水平".A选项"What people can do to improve their English.",人们做什么可以提高英语水平,显然,应该以提高英语的方法措施为内容,文中并没提及,故排除A;B选项"Why English learners like listening to English songs.",为什么英语学习者喜欢听英语歌曲,本文解释的是为什么通过学习英语歌曲可以促进我们的英语学习,中心只在促进我们的英语学习这一目的,以B选项为主旨的话,文章应该阐释英语歌趣的各种好,比如旋律好听,歌词好,利于学习等等.显然与本文不相符,故排除B.C选项"What songs people can listen to so as to improve English."中心在听什么歌曲可以提高英语,内容应围绕各种不同的歌曲,与本文不相符,故排除C,综合以上分析,故选D.
35.C 篇章结构题.根据文章第一段"Listening to English songs can help you learn the language better."可知,本段提出通过听英语歌曲可以更好地学习英语,2至5段分别介绍了某一个方面的好处,第二段"When you start paying attention to the lyrics,your listening skills naturally improve."提及学英语歌曲对词汇的好处;第三段"Songs give you perfect pronunciation models."提出对于发音的好处;第四段"When you start paying attention to the lyrics,your listening skills naturally improve."提出对听力的好处;第五段"Another huge merit is that you get to practice your grammar."提出了听英文歌对语法的好处.文章最后一段"Now we can conclude that listening to English songs can really help you learn the language well."进行了总结归纳.总分总结构,故选C.
点评 本文提出学习英语歌曲可以促进我们的英语学习,并解释了各方面具体的理由.题目涉及多道细节理解题,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性地找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题,在抓住关键句子的基础上进行合理正确的分析,切记胡乱猜测,做到有理有据.词义猜测题,要在上下文中寻找同义词或反义词,寻找同义句子或相关解释句子,从而推测正确答案.对于篇章结构题,分析篇章结构,把握全篇文脉是阅读理解的关键.以本文为例,本文第一段提出通过听英语歌曲可以更好地学习英语,2至5段分别介绍了某一个方面的好处,文章最后一段进行了总结归纳,本文属于典型的总分总结构. 分析文章的层次包含两种形式:一种是分析整篇文章的层次,也就是段落,另一种是分析每一个段落内部的层次,也就是语篇层次. 语篇与段落是有区别的,语段是篇章结构的中间层次,是由句子到篇的一种过渡形式,段落是在某些语体(如记叙文、议论文)中比语段更大的意义单位,较小的段落可以只包括一个语段或一个句子,一般来说,一个段落通常由几个语段构成.构成语段的方式有两种,一是靠句际间意义的结合,二是靠句际间的关联词,逻辑性插入语来连接,在分析语段层次时,可以借助句际间的连接词语作出判断,但最主要的还是要真正体会句际间的意义关系,把握作者的思路,从语序上去发现断续点,理清层次,好文章的层次非常清晰,只有层层入手,才能真正理解文章.
