Question

【题目】If you are like most international students, you are probably pretty comfortable reading and writing in English, but not as comfortable with listening and speaking in the language. 【1】

Make friends with American students. Many international students end up making friends with a lot of—or only—other international students. 【2】Hanging out with natives not only naturally pushes you to improve your spoken English, but also helps you pick up cultural and social information.

Learn from American friends. Tell 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. 【3】

Increase your knowledge. 【4】 If you have known about the 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.

【5】 If you have to explain something to someone, you have a strong desire to pronounce everything as well as you can, and find other ways to explain yourself. Finally, this becomes a good habit. Many people have asked me how I learned to speak English fluently, and I think it is because of my being a math teacher in college for years.

A. I don't think this is a good idea.

B. You will learn much faster this way.

C. If possible, become a teacher at your school.

D. It's a win-win opportunity for international students.

E. Read books, keep up with news and watch popular shows and movies.

F. It's a good way to make some extra cash while improving your English.

G. Below are some tips to help you to improve your conversational skills.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】A

【3】B

【4】E

【5】C

【解析】试题分析：文章介绍了作为一个国际生，有许多方法来提升英语交流技能。

【1】G结构题，这篇文章脉络清晰，开篇提出问题，接着就列举了很多方法，因此要使用一个过渡句来连接上下文，即G。

【2】A推断题，根据前文Many international students end up making friends with a lot of — or only — other international students.许多国际生不和其他国家的学生交朋友。然而我不同意这一点。故选A。

【3】B细节题，这一段的方法就是从美国朋友身上学英语。具体介绍了一些朋友帮助的方法，总结就是在朋友的帮助下学得会更快。

【4】E逻辑题，这一段是增长知识，空格后面是讲对对话中会讨论的主题的理解能帮助你更好的理解他人和表达自己。因此39空选择多读书，多看新闻和电影，增长知识。即选择B。

【5】C总结题，由句尾我英语流畅的原因是我在一所学校当数学老师，可知这一段提出的方法是可能的话就在你的学校当老师，故选C。
