第三部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

The best way of learning a language is using it. The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible. Sometimes you'll get your words mixed up (混合) and people will not understand you. Sometimes people will say things too quickly and you can't understand them. But if you keep your sense of humor, you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don't be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. It's better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry with you, because they don't understand what you are saying. The most important thing for learning English is: “Don't be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes.”

36．The writer thinks that the most important thing for you to learn a language is ________.

A．reading B．practising

37．If people laugh at the mistakes you make, you should ________.

A．be angry with them

B．be angry with yourself

C．not care

D．believe you are right

答案：C　细节理解题。由第六句“Don't be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes.”可知，不要在乎别人的嘲笑，所以选C项。

38．The story tells us “ ________.”

A．It is normal (正常的) that we make some mistakes in learning English

B．Everyone must make mistakes

C．We can avoid making mistakes in learning a language

B

What does it take to be a good neighbour? Over the years I have had all kinds of neighbours, ones that were enjoyable and others that were to be avoided at all costs.

One of the most important things in being a good neighbour is to respect the personal privacy(隐私). When someone new moves into the neighbourhood, you'd better wait and see when and how to go to pay a visit. If you go rushing over as soon as they move in, they may think you are going to be one of those neighbours that come over at all times of the day, not respecting their privacy.

It is a good idea to always be friendly to everyone in the neighbourhood. This can not only make you get along well with them, but will also be a form of protection for your family and home. If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out in their yard, it shows that you like them and try to be friendly. If you are cordial(热诚的) to them, they are much more likely to watch out for any wrong doings going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens.

Another way of being a good neighbour is to be helpful in times of need. If you see that they are in need of a helping hand doing something or in times of difficulty, it is good to offer your help. Even though you haven't talked a lot to the people down the street, they are willing to take the time to help you because you have ever helped them when they were in
