There is even a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage learners even more. When I see advertisements like this, I don39。t know whether to laugh or cry. But many people must believe these ridiculous claims, or else the advertisements would not appear. Of course it is clear that students who go to England to learn English have a great advantage over others, but too many cannot afford to do so. Some go to the opposite extreme and think they can teach themselves at home with dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language, let alone produces good pronunciation and intonation. Most teaching is still based on behaviorist psychology. Behaviorists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making sentences. If we were parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful. A large number of theorists seem to think it is a pity we aren39。t, because it would make it easier to use their methods. In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it. Human beings, unlike parrots and chimpanzees, do not like making noises unless they understand what the noises mean and can relate them to their own lives. It is worth remembering that language is a means of munication. What they listen to and read cannot be a formula. It must be real. There is another relevant point worth mentioning here. We need other people to talk to and listen to when we municate. They can work with us and practice the unfamiliar forms with us in real situations, talking to each other about real life language.(1)Many people believe advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses probably because .

Behaviorists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making sentences.”可知現(xiàn)在大量的教學(xué)活動(dòng)還是建立在行為主義心理學(xué)的基礎(chǔ)之上。行為主義者熱衷于讓學(xué)生復(fù)述短語,不斷做一些只需更換句中某個(gè)詞的練習(xí)。故選C。(3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it.”可知作者認(rèn)為,假如沒有興趣,任何人都不可能學(xué)好英語或其他任何語言。故選D。(4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“There is another relevant point worth mentioning here.

Except for its flowers, the plant looks like spaghetti, a kind of noodles in the shape of long thin pieces that look like string when they are cooked. It39。s almost leafless, threadlike stems hang down on top of other plants that dodder needs to stay alive. Dodder does not produce its own food. Instead, it steals food from other plants. It feeds by sucking juices from the plant which is wrapped around, often making its host very weak or even killing it. Dodder can find other plants by their smell. When a young dodder plant starts growing, it follows the smell of plants it prefers, like tomato plants, potato plants, or other farm crops. Unlike most plants that usually grow in the direction of light or warmth, a dodder plant will grow in the direction of, for example, tomato smell—if a tomato happens to be growing nearby. However, a young dodder plant must find a host plant quickly. It no longer needs its root once it is attached to the host and wrapped around it. If it cannot catch a smell of a potential host within a few days, it will dry up and vanish even if there is plenty of water around. Once it finds a host, the young dodder plant will attach itself to it and start growing faster. At that point the dodder plant will drop its root. Dodder is thus a difficult weed to manage and a real headache for farmers. When it does get out of hand, dodder can greatly reduce a farmer39。s harvest or even destroy crops pletely. Before sowing their produce, especially farmers in warm parts of the world often check to make sure no unwanted dodder
