5 . Do you want to improve your spoken English?     1    

Repeat the language!

Repeat words and sentences over and over again until you can say them really fluently (流利地). For example, say “I went to the shops, I went to the shops” repeatedly.     2     Then later when you’re speaking, it’ll come out naturally.

    3    

First, write out in note form (笔记形式) the story you want to tell, and then use those notes to practice telling the story, and practice telling it.

Memorize language!

    4     You can do this by writing them out, or by speaking them out loud so that you’ll be speaking normally (正常地). And the more you do this, the more they’ll stick in your mind.

Practice forming questions!

Look at a sentence and see if you can change that into a question.     5     So, for example, when seeing the sentence, “She’s seen the film,” you need to change it into the question, “Has she seen the film?” And the more you do this, the more fluent and quicker you’ll get at making questions.

A．Practice telling stories!

B．Making questions is quite difficult if you haven’t been practicing it.

C．Try to remember as many phrases and expressions as you can.

D．The more you say it, the more it becomes fixed in your brain (刻在脑子里).

E．Here are four quick tips for you.

F．Just choose any story you like.

G．Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you.

7 . It’s school ‘time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared (害怕的) on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stay for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.

Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the things you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day,   they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention.

You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day, but it’s a great day to make new friends, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friends!

Seeing old friends can make the first day an exciting one. You can make the day special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of shoes. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack (打包) them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.

1. What do teachers usually do at the beginning of a new school year according to the passage?

A．Allowing their students to pay attention to them.

9 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

On February 16, 1861, a big earthquake struck Sumatra, an Indonesian island. The earthquake shook the western side of the island,     1     (cause ) a tsunami. That wall of water poured onto shore, destroying towns and taking thousands of    2     (life) .

Recently, though, a team of scientists discovered that another earthquake occurred before this deadly event. According to the record, that earthquake     3     (start) in 1829 and lasted for 32 years but no one felt even one shake. This kind of slow-moving earthquake    4     (call) “silent earthquakes” because no instrument can find them. Scientists have only begun discovering them because    5     the advances in GPS technology in the last twenty years.

    6     (find) out what is going on under the ground, scientists need to study earthquakes. Every earthquake, either small     7     big, can teach scientists something about how much the ground will shake in the future. Unluckily, no one can predict (预测) when an earthquake will hit. Scientists just have to prepare to study all earthquakes    8     hit.

But silent earthquakes like the one in Sumatra change the game for scientists. These silent earthquakes happen all over    9     world. Sometimes, a silent earthquake happens just before a regular one, both of which might be related. By studying silent earthquakes, scientists hope to better understand regular earthquakes and    10    (possible) predict them.

10 . 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文.

Marmi, my big sister, was eagerly looking for a pup (小狗) to look after and love all her life, so she would ask Mummy many times for a pup of her own, but the answer was always no. You see, my mum is not very fond of dogs, never has been, and always says they're too big a responsibility. She's just not a dog person. Well, that didn't stop my sister from looking or hoping for a dog. She used to search online for her favourite breed (品种). Until one day Marni found some Cavapoo pups advertised for sale. She immediately showed Mummy and begged to go and see them. Not sure how my sister persuaded her, but to our surprise, Mummy said we could go and have a look at them but not to get high hopes. Marni rushed everyone in the car before Mummy changed her mind. Off we sped to the advertised breeder's house which luckily wasn't too far. We got to the house and I bet I could hear my sister's heart dancing with excitement. As we rang the doorbell, we could hear cute little barks coming from inside. We went in and saw lots of little black pups excitedly jumping around. There were other people there too, so we needed to choose one fast if you know what I mean. It was rather crowded but the breeder let us hold and cuddle (搂抱) the pups. The breeder handed a little confident pup to Marni. The little pup seemed an old friend with my sister. But after a lot of cuddles, Mummy said we had to go and would have to think about it.

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

As we were walking towards the door, the little pup followed my sister.
