第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，每题2分，满分30分）

A

What is language for? Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words—the longer the lists，the better. That's wrong. Language is for the exchange（交流）of ideas and information. It's
meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard saw once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly." But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mis
takes in the English language. And if enough
native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can't make another people's language. So Chinese students of English should pay atte
ntion to grammar, but they shouldn't overdo（做过头）it. They should put communication first.

46. Language is used to ________.

A. practice grammar rules [来源:学§科§网]

B. express oneself



B. talk with foreigners only

D. learn lists of words



47. Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he ________.

A. never makes mistakes

B. often makes mistakes



C. always makes mistakes

D. can't avoid making mistakes



48. "Foreigners often speak English too correctly. " This sentence means that ________.

A. foreigners speak correct English



B. foreigners speak incorrect English



C. foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English



D. foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules



49. If too many native speakers break a rule, ________.

A. they should say sorry to
others

B. they are against the law



C. what they use will become right

D. they will become heroes

Look at the pictures below. Do you know why these things were developed or invented?

A few years ago, Masaru Ibuka, the head of Sony, was at a company planning meeting. Suddenly he had an idea. He stopped the meeting and asked everyone what would happen if Sony took away the recording function(录音功能) and speakers（扬声器） and sold a tape player with headphones instead. Almost everyone thought he was silly. Still, Ibuka kept his idea and worked at it. The result, of course, turned out to be successful Sony Walkman.

Good ideas often start with a really silly question. Bill Bowerman was making breakfast one day. As he stood there making cakes for his son, he asked himself what would happen if he poured rubber into his cake iron(模具). Later, he tried it and the result was something like the bottom of most sports shoes we see today. Still, when he took his idea to several shoe companies, he was laughed at. In fact, every single company refused him. Though rather disappointed, Bowerman went on to set up his own company, NIKE.

We know today, of course, that each of these ideas caused a successful thing that has changed the way many of us live. The best questions are usually open-ended(随意的) and are often silly. Children aren’t afraid to ask such questions, but adults usually are. Think how different the w
