第二部分、阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

A

If you are planning to learn a foreign language, here are some tips about learning language you can benefit from.

Try to set aside some time every day for your studies when your brain is most receptive. It’s better to study for 30 minutes every day than for 3 hours once a week. If you can spare two or three hours a day, break them up into some periods to avoid brain overload.

Go over each lesson several times, perhaps once in the morning, once in the evening and once several days later. Give your brain time to digest the material, but make sure the gaps between periods of studies are not too long or you will forget most of what you’re trying to learn. Make sure you have mastered the contents of one lesson before moving on to the next.

Make sure you’re comfortable with the basics of the language before learning the more advanced knowledge. It will take you some time to get used to the pronunciation and spelling of a new language, but without a solid understanding of these, you’ll find it very difficult to learn more.

Setting reasonable targets is a good way to motivate yourself. You could set yourself a time limit or aim for a certain level of proficiency (精通).

Once you have mastered the basics of the language, learn to apply them about the things that interest you. In this way you are more likely to remember the words, phrases and grammatical constructions you meet.

You will find that at times you’re making fairly rapid progress, while at other times you seem to stand still or even go backwards. This is normal when learning a language, so don’t be discouraged.

Making mistakes in a foreign language is nothing to worry about. What matters is getting your message across, not whether you use all the right words, tenses, cases, etc. If you cannot think of the exact words, try using other ones.

D. You should practise the language while learning it.

A. the mistakes when you learn a foreign language

C. the reasons why we make mistakes while trying to apply it

B

Every person has a unique experience and a story to tell about his school life, so do I.

We had great fun in growing and learning. Every year we were taken to different places for our school picnics. I was never able to go to these tours but I enjoyed every word of the stories told by my friends. When I was in Grade Eight, I won a couple of prizes in drawing and school competitions. We were also given many projects as class assignments that helped all of us to know more about the subject. I was very fond of cricket (now in football). My friends and I played cricket in the school campus after school, but at the same time, we all used to get lots of scolding from our headmaster.

Every Saturday we used to have our P.T. exercise, and frankly speaking, nobody in my class, even me, had ever liked this. As I reached Grade Nine I realised that I should concentrate on my studies as the next year I was going to take my Board exams. The most memorable day in my life was the day when we held the farewell party for our seniors. Well, now I am in Grade Ten and all set to write my Boards in March. Whenever I recollect all these incidents of school life, I feel very happy and in everybody’s school life, I think there are many ups and downs that mould(浇注) one’s life. School is a place where all of us learn to care and share. “School” is not just a place, but also it is a large dome made up of knowledge, love and affection. I think in everybody’s success, school plays a key role. I can describe my school in “Three S’s”, they are: Small, Sweet and Simple.

60. From the second paragraph we can infer that _____.

A. all the students could take part in school’s picnics

B. the author didn’t behave well before

C. the author was very bad at his studies

D. the school didn’t approve of students’ playing on the campus

61. At school, the author is good at ______.

A. drawing B. crick
