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( 流利地 ).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 Shaw once wrote， “Foreigners often speak English too correctl y.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English lan guage. And if enough native speakers break a rule， it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong， bees 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 attention to grammar， but they shouldn’t overdo( 做過頭 )it. They should put munication(交際 )first. 56． Language is used to________. A． express oneself B． practise grammar rules C． talk with foreigners only D． learn lists of words 解析：選 A。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四句 “Language is for the exchange of ideas and information.” 可知語言是用來交流的，因此應(yīng)選擇 express oneself，其含義是 “ 表達(dá)自己的意圖；讓別人明白自己 ” 。 57． Generally， when an American or an Englishman speaks English， he or she________. A． never makes mistakes B． often makes mistakes C． can’t avoid making mistakes D． always makes mistakes 解析：選 C。文中提到 “Native speakers make mistakes and break rules ， too” ，而且下文也提到類似的情況，所以答案為 C項(xiàng)， “ 不可避免地犯錯誤 ” 。 58 ． The sentence“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.”means that________. A． foreigners speak correct English B． foreigners speak incorrect English C． foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules D． foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English 解析：選 C。根據(jù)上下文可知，母語不是英語的人在學(xué)英語時，首先要學(xué)許多的語法規(guī)則，所以他們說話時總是套規(guī)則。 59． When we speak a foreign language， we should________. A． speak in Chinese way B． speak by the rules C． speak to native speakers D． not be afraid of making mistakes 解析：選 D。推理判斷題。通過文章我們知道語言的作用是交流，而且更明確在學(xué)習(xí)外語時，我們不僅要學(xué)語法，更重要的是學(xué)會使用這種語言交往，當(dāng)然不能怕犯錯誤。 B Have you ever considered all the English expressions that include words about clothes？ Let’s have a look. People wear pants to cover the lower part of their bodies. We sometimes say that people who are nervous have ants in their pants. Sometimes， people may get caught with their pants down. They are found doing something they should not be doing. And，in every family， one pers
