C篇

Here are a few tips we’ve put together to help you learn English well.

Speak, speak, speak!

Practise speaking as often as you can—even speaking to yourself is good practice. Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version, see how you can do better and have another try. If you do this several times, you will find that each version is better than the last.

Why not learn with someone else?

It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will make you keep working. Agree times to meet and set goals for the week, and test each other regularly.

Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t know

Practise improvising (即兴的) ways of getting your meaning across while speaking spontaneously (本能), even if you don’t know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time. A basic example is the use of tenses. If you don’t know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday, use the verb in the present tense and use the word for “yesterday”. Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to get your meaning across.

Language learning is also about intuition (直觉)

Guesswork is important in learning a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren’t expected to understand everything first time round. If you play the same piece several times, you will most probably understand something new each time. Learn to make maximum use of all the clues you can pick up. For example, what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? Etc.

Build up your vocabulary

A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently, for short periods of time. Take a maximum of six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them. Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, then come back to them later. Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic.

    And above all, have fun!

D篇

Some people have it easy. When their kids ask them what they do at work, they can give a simple, direct answer: “I put out fires” or “I teach primary school”. As a theoretical physicist, I never had this luck. Society has come to expect many things from the physicists. It used to be that we only had to discover the basic laws of the world and supply the techniques that would power the next Silicon Valley. With these expectations we were fairly comfortable: they are the sorts of things we think we know how to do. What makes us uncomfortable and what makes it hard for us to tell our kids what we’re up to is that in this century we have become, though unwillingly, gurus on questions such as “What is the nature of Reality?”

We now deal with a whole new class of problems. We ask how the world began and what the nature of matter is. The answers we are coming up with are just not easy to comprehend for the average person.

So, when physicists get out of their cars in the morning, have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers, they leave a familiar world and enter a place where things act in strange ways that are impossible for ordinary people to understand.

13. According to the passage, in a way physicists are        .

    A. honest         B. comfortable    C. strange        D. unlucky

14. By what the writer says about physicists, we know that physicists        .

    A. don’t like their careers

    B. live in two different worlds

    C. are coming up with new answers to old questions

    D. don’t have to tell people what they are doing

15. From the passage we can conclude that theoretical physicists        .

    A. contributed to the new industry in Silicon Valley

    B. only have to answer the basic questions about the world

    C. have disappointed the expectations of many people

    D. have found it hard to make themselves popular

16. What’s the main idea of the passage?

    A. Society seems to know a bit about physicists’work.

    B. Most people are expecting to know what physicists are doing.

    C. Physicists are doing more and more difficult jobs.

    D. It’s impossible for average people to know physicists’work.
