第一篇
Pronouncing a language is a skill.Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language;but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing foreign languages.Now there are many reasons for this, some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious.But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way.Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill—one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself.I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language.So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught;the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention.So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place.Apart from this question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher: the first, knowledge;the second, technique.It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information.This can generally be obtained from books.It is possible to get from books some idea of the mechanics of speech, and of what we call general phonetic theory.It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages, between the speech habits of English people and those, say, of your students.Unless the teacher has such a picture, any comments he may make on his students' pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use, and lesson time spent on pronunciation may well be time wasted.1.What does the writer actually say about pronouncing foreign languages?
A.Only a few people are really proficient.B.No one is really an expert in the skill.C.There aren't many people who are even fairly good.D.There are even some people who are moderately proficient.2.The writer argues that going about the problem of pronunciation in the wrong way is
A.an obvious cause of not grasping the problem correctly
B.a fundamental consequence of not speaking well
C.a consequence of not grasping the problem correctly
D.not an obvious cause of speaking poorly
3.The best way of learning to speak a foreign language, he suggests, is by_______.A.picking it up naturally as a child
B.learning from a native speaker
C.not concentrating on pronunciation as such
D.undertaking systematic work
4.The value the student puts on correct speech habits depends upon_______.A.how closely he attends to the matter
B.whether it is English that is being taught
C.his teacher's approach to pronunciation
D.the importance normally given to grammar and spelling
5.How might the teacher find himself wasting lesson time?
A.By spending lesson time on pronunciation.B.By making ill-informed comments upon pronunciation.C.By not using books on phonetics in the classroom.D.By not giving students a clear mental picture of the difference between sounds.第二篇
An industrial society, especially one as centralized and concentrated as that of Britain, is heavily dependant on certain essential services: for instance, electricity supply, water, rail and road transport, the harbors.The area of dependency has widened to include removing rubbish, hospital and ambulance services, and, as the economy develops, central computer and information services as well.If any of these services ceases to operate, the whole economic system is in danger.It is this interdependency of the economic system that makes the power of trade unions such an important issue.Single trade unions have the ability to cut off many economic blood supplies.This can happen more easily in Britain than in some other countries, in part because the labor force is highly organized.About 55 per cent of British workers belong to unions, compared to under a quarter in the United States.For historical reasons, Britain's unions have tended to develop along trade and occupational lines, rather than on an industry-by-industry basis, which makes wage policy, democracy in industry and the improvement of procedures for fixing wage levels difficult to achieve.There are considerable strains and tensions in the trade union movement, some of them arising from their outdated and inefficient structure.Some unions have lost many members because of industrial changes.Others are involved in arguments about who should represent workers in new trades.Unions for skilled trades are separate from general unions, which means that different levels of wages for certain jobs are
often a source of bad feeling between unions.In traditional trades which are being pushed out of existence by advancing technologies, unions can fight for their members' disappearing jobs to the point where the jobs of other union's members are threatened or destroyed.The printing of newspapers both in the United States and in Britain has frequently been halted by the efforts of printers to hold on to their traditional highly-paid jobs.1.Why is the question of trade union power important in Britain?
A.The economy is very much interdependent.B.Unions have been established a long time.C.There are more unions in Britain than elsewhere.D.There are many essential services.2.Because of their out-of-date organization some unions find it difficult to______.A.change as industries change B.get new members to join them
C.learn new technologies D.bargain for high enough wages
3.Disagreements arise between unions because some of them
A.try to win over members of other unions
B.ignore agreements
C.protect their own members at the expense of others
D.take over other union's jobs
4.It is difficult to improve the procedures for fixing wage levels because______.A.some industries have no unions
B.unions are not organized according to industries
C.only 55 per cent of workers belong to unions
D.some unions are too powerful
5.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A.There are strains and tensions in the trade union movement.B.Some unions have lost many members.C.Some unions exist in the outdated structure.D.A higher percentage of American workers belong to unions than that of British workers.第三篇
Although credit cards are becoming a more acceptable part of the financial scene, they are still regarded with suspicion by many as being a major part of the “live now pay later” syndrome(^Jttt).Along with hire-purchase, rental and leasing schemes, they provide encouragement to spend more money.Of course, it is only the foolhardy who yield to the temptation to live, temporarily at least, beyond their means, and such
people would no doubt manage to do so even without credit cards.Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic.They obviate(避免)need to carry large amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies.All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 per cent a year, yet judicious purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks, interest-free credit.Using the card abroad, where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account, can extend this period even further.It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on a particular credit card.It is necessary to consider the amount of credit granted;interest rates, which may vary slightly;the number and range of outlets, though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and department stores;and of course, what happens if your card is lost or stolen.A credit card thief may be sitting on a potential goldmine particularly if there is a delay in reporting the loss of the card.However, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing, or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty.1.Which of the following can not make you spend more money?
A.Credit cards.B.Hire-purchase.C.Rental and leasing schemes.D.None of the above is right.2.The foolhardy are people who_______.A.spend more money than they have B.spend less money than other people C.save money D.make money
3.The disadvantage of credit cards is_______.A.to enable you to buy things without carrying large amount of cash
B.to encourage people to spend more money
C.to be always useful in emergencies
D.to help people tide over a period of financial difficulty
4.According to the passage, credit cards are made of_______.A.paper B.gold
C.plastic D.tin
5.Deciding on a particular credit, you do not have to consider______.A.the amount of credit granted
B.the number and range of outlets
C.the possibility of loss of money D.the department stores where you are going to use your credit cards
第四篇
More attention was paid to the quality of production in France at the time of Rene Coty.Charles Deschanel was then the financial minister.He stressed that workmanship and quality were more important than quantity for industrial production.It would be necessary to produce quality goods for the international markets to
compete with those produced in other countries.The French economy needed a larger share of international market to balance its import and export trade.French industrial and agricultural production was still inadequate to meet the immediate needs of the people, let alone long-ranged developments.Essential imports had stretched the national credit to the breaking point.Rents were tightly controlled, but the extreme inflation affected general population most severely through the cost of food.Food costs took as much as 80 percent of the worker's income.Wages, it is true, had risen.Extensive family allowances and benefits were paid by the state, and there was fulltime and overtime employment.Taken together, these factors enabled the working class to exist but allowed them no sense of security.In this discouraging situation, workmen were willing to work overseas for higher wages.The government was unwilling to let workers leave the country.It was feared that migration of workers would reduce the labor force.The lack of qualified workers might hinder the improvement in the quality of industrial products produced.Qualified workers employed abroad would only increase the quantity of quality goods produced in foreign countries.Also the quantity of quality goods produced in France would not be able to increase as part of its ualified labor force moved to other countries.1.The purpose of the passage is to_______.A.explain the French government's emphasis on quality products
B.discuss Charles Deschanel's contribution to the French industrial development
C.compare the quality of French goods with that of foreign goods
D.show French workmen's enthusiasm to seek well-paid jobs in foreign countries
2.It can be inferred from the passage that at the time of Rene Coty.A.France was still at the first stage of industrial development
B.French workers were better paid than the workers in any other European countries
C.the unemployment rate in France was comparatively higher than that in other European countries
D.French workers were able to live better with the increase in their wages
3.It is implied in the passage that at that time_______.A.France had a very large share of international market
B.the import and export trade in France was making a successful advance
C.demand and supply in France was barely balanced
D.France was experiencing economic depression
4.Which of the following is the best indicator of the extreme inflation in France?
A.Eighty percent increase in the prices of consumer goods.B.High cost of food.C.High rents for houses.D.Lack of agricultural products.5.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Rents in France were tightly controlled.B.France was flooding the international market with inferior products.C.French workers were prohibited from going abroad to find jobs.D.The migration of French workers would hinder the improvement of quality in industrial production.第五篇
As a company executive(总经理)who spent ten years in federal service, I am often asked what I regard as the biggest difference between working for the government and working for a private company.My invariable response is to say that I look back on my time in government as one of the most exciting and challenging experiences of my life.Furthermore, I never worked as hard as when I was a public servant.When I worked for the government, I worked with some of the finest, most competent and most committed people I have ever met.I was impressed by the overall quality of our career civil servants then, and I still am.But one of my greatest concerns now is that I will not be able to hold this same high opinion in the future.Career public servants are leaving government in alarming numbers, and qualified replacements are becoming harder and harder to find.Good people who leave career government service are striving for highly paid positions in private enterprises.We depend on government to keep this country safe in an uncertain world, to secure justice and domestic order and to solve a host of pressing problems.We need the best possible people performing and overseeing these vital tasks.A high-quality, professional federal service has been a source of national pride for more than a century.But what we have built up during a hundred years can be lost in less time than we imagine.We can't afford to let this happen.We must act now if this country is to be assured of the quality public service it deserves.1.Career public servants are leaving government in alarming numbers.One of the
reasons may be that______.A.they received lower pay B.they deserved no fame and glory
C.they performed poorly D.they worked harder than anyone else
2.According to the author, _______, so I will not be able to hold this same high opinion
toward the public servants in the future.A.I never worked as hard as when I was a public servant
B.I have become a company executive
C.there will not be so many competent and qualified servants in the government as we had before
D.my time in government was not the most exciting experience in my life
3.We depend on government to keep this country safe in an uncertain world, therefore,A.we should make greater contributions to the country
B.the best possible people are urgently needed to do important tasks
C.we should show deep concern about the nation's future
D.we should become public servants
4.If we neglect the serious problem and make no efforts, we will lose_______.A.national pride B.high-quality professional federal service
C.good people D.private enterprise
5.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A.Those who work for companies are highly paid.B.More and more public servants have left the government.C.Career public servants are qualified.D.Many people of high qualities want to work in the government.According to the latest research in the' United States of America, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate.Professor Deborah Tannen of Georgetown University, has noticed the difference in the style of boy's and girl's conversations from an early age.She says that little girls' conversation is less definite than boys' and expresses more doubts.Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.These differences continue into adult life, she says.In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more.In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts—although they say things in a different style.Professor Tannen believes that, for woman, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy.For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.第六篇
Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show.When a man teaches a woman, says Professor Tannen, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence more power in conversation.When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.But Professor Tannen does not believe that women are naturally more helpful.She says women feel they achieve power by being able to help others.Although the research suggests men talk and interrupt people more than women, Professor Tannen says, women actually encourage this to happen because they believe it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship.Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is pre¬programmed
for language.As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias(倾向性)in its programming,otherwise male speech patterns would not arise at all.1.In the opinion of the writer, women encourage men to talk because
A.it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship
B.it will help to establish status with their listeners
C.it will help to express more clearly
D.it will help to communicate better
2.There are_______in little girls' conversation than in boys'.A.fewer doubts B.more demands
C.more doubts D.fewer uncertainties
3.Some scientists believe that brain is pre-programmed for language.The word “pre programmed” means_______.A.programmed already B.programmed before one is born
C.programmed early D.programmed by women
4.In private conversation, women speak
A.the same things as men B.less than men
C.more than men D.as much as men
5.The theme of this article is _______.A.women are naturally more helpful
B.men and women talk different languages
C.men talk most and interrupt other speakers more
D.little girls' conversation is less definite

第三篇:英语六级阅读理解经典题目及答案
According to the latest research in the' United States of America, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to communicate.Professor Deborah Tannen of Georgetown University, has noticed the difference in the style of boy's and girl's conversations from an early age.She says that little girls' conversation is less definite than boys' and expresses more doubts.Little boys use conversation to establish status with their listeners.These differences continue into adult life, she says.In public conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more.In private conversations, men and women speak in equal amounts—although they say things in a different style.Professor Tannen believes that, for woman, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy.For men, private talking is a way to explore the power structure of a relationship.Teaching is one job where the differences between men's and women's ways of talking show.When a man teaches a woman, says Professor Tannen, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence more power in conversation.When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing approach and to encourage her student to join in.But Professor Tannen does not believe that women are naturally more helpful.She says women feel they achieve power by being able to help others.Although the research suggests men talk and interrupt people more than women, Professor Tannen says, women actually encourage this to happen because they believe it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship.Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is pre¬programmed for language.As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual bias(倾向性)in its programming,otherwise male speech patterns would not arise at all.1.In the opinion of the writer, women encourage men to talk because
A.it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship
B.it will help to establish status with their listeners
C.it will help to express more clearly
D.it will help to communicate better
2.There are_______in little girls' conversation than in boys'.A.fewer doubts B.more demands
C.more doubts D.fewer uncertainties
3.Some scientists believe that brain is pre-programmed for language.The word “pre programmed” means_______.A.programmed already B.programmed before one is born
C.programmed early D.programmed by women
4.In private conversation, women speak
A.the same things as men B.less than men
C.more than men D.as much as men
5.The theme of this article is _______.A.women are naturally more helpful
B.men and women talk different languages
C.men talk most and interrupt other speakers more
D.little girls' conversation is less definite
In the last two hundred years there have been great changes in the method of production of goods.This is now also true of the building industry;for mechanization has been introduced.System building can save both time and money.The principle of system building is that the building is made from a set of standard units.These are either made at the building-site or at a factory.Some designers, in fact, are standardizing the dimensions of rooms.They are made in multiples of a single fixed length, usually ten centimeters.This is called a modular(标准件的)system, and it means that manufactures can produce standardized fittings at a lower cost.The most important fact about system building is its speed.A ten-storey flat, for example, can be completed in four months.There are several new methods of system building.One is the panel method.In this case, the construction company sometimes erects a factory on the site.The walls and floors of the building, called panels, are cast in a horizontal or vertical position.Conduits for electrical wires and sleeves for pipes are cast in the panels when they are being made.The moulds for making these castings are situated all around the building.After the concrete panels are cast, they are allowed to set and harden for a week.Next they are lifted by a tower crane on to any section of the building.There the panels are cemented together at their joints and the floor covering is laid.After the panels have been cemented together, the crane lifts a case into the area.It contains all the fittings to be installed, such as wash-basins, radiators and pipes.Finishing tradesmen, such as plumbers, plasterers, painters and electricians, follow behind to complete the work.In some building developments, in some countries, whole flats with internal features like their bathrooms, bedrooms and connecting stairs, and weighing as much as twenty tons, are carried to the building-site ready-made.A giant overhead crane is used to lift them into position.In the future, this method may become more widespread.1.The main difference between panel method and the method discussed in the last paragraph is_______.A.the latter uses ready-made internal features
B.panels are cast in a level position
C.the former is used to build walls and floors while the latter to construct bathrooms or bedrooms
D.the former is more expensive than the latter
2.Which of these statements is TRUE of system building?
A.It employs more men.B.It is difficult and dangerous.C.It can save both time and money.D.It means less mechanization.3.According to the passage, the principle of system building is that_______.A.construction methods are safer
B.buildings are made from a set of standardized units
C.similar buildings can be produced
D.all units are produced on the site
4.The usual fixed length in the modular system is_______.A.twenty centimeters B.ten millimeters
C.fifty centimeters D.ten centimeters
5.What lifts the concrete panels onto the building?
A.Cranes.B.Man-power.C.Pulleys.D.Hydraulic jacks.1.A 2.C 3.B 4.D 5.B1.A 2.C 3.B 4.D 5.A
The “standard of living” of any country means the average person's share of the goods and services which the country produces.A country's standard of living, therefore, depends first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth.“Wealth” in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money but on things that money can buy: “goods” such as food and clothing, and “services” such as transport and entertainment.A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect on one another.Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country's natural resources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on.Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable climate;other regions possess perhaps only one of these things, and some regions possess none of them.The U.S.A is one of the wealthiest regions of the world because she has vast natural resources within her borders, her soil is fertile, and her climate is varied.The Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy.Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use.China is perhaps as well off as the U.S.A.in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars, and for this and other reasons was.unable to develop her resources.Sound and stable political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well served by nature but less well ordered.Another important factor is the technical efficiency of a country's people.Old countries that have, through many centuries, trained up numerous skilled craftsmen and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers are largely unskilled.Wealth also produces wealth.As a country becomes wealthier, its people have a large margin for saving, and can put their savings into factories and machines which will help workers to turn out more goods in their working day.1.A country's wealth depends upon______.,A.its standard of living
B.its money
C.its ability to provide goods and services
D.its ability to provide transport and entertainment
2.The word “foremost” means______.A.most importantly B.firstly
C.largely D.for the most part
3.The main idea of the second paragraph is that______.A.a country's wealth depends on many factors
B.the U.S.A.is one of the wealthiest countries in the world
C.the Sahara Desert is a very poor region
D.natural resources are an important factor in the wealth or poverty of a country
4.The third paragraph mentions some of the advantages which one country may have over another in making use of its resources.How many such advantages are mentioned in this paragraph?
A.2B.3
C.4D.5
5.The second sentence.in Paragraph 3 is______.A.the main idea of the paragraph B.an example supporting the main idea of the paragraph C.the conclusion of the paragraph D.not related to the paragraph
The productivity of Americans employed in private businesses has declined.The productivity of workers in countries such as Japan and Germany is increasing.American machine tools, on average, are old, relatively inefficient, and rapidly becoming obsolete, whereas those of our competitors overseas, in comparison, are newer and more efficient.We are no longer the most productive workers in the world.We are no longer the leaders in industrial innovation(革新).We are an immensely
wealthy nation of educated men and women who seem to have lost sight of the fact that everything—from the simplest necessities to the finest luxuries—must be produced through our own collective hard work.We have come to expect automatic increases in our collective standard of living, but we seem to have forgotten that these increases are possible only when our productivity continues to grow.One thing that must change is the rate at which we substitute capital equipment for human labor.Simply put, our labor force has increased at a far greater rate than has our stock of capital investment.We seem to have forgotten that our past productivity gains, to a large extent, were realized from substitutions of capital for human labor.Today, 3 times as many robots are listed as capital assets by Japanese firms as by United States firms.There is no doubt that robots will become a common sight in American factories.Representing a new generation of technology, robots will replace factory labor much as the farm tractor replaced the horse.Robot technology has much to offer.It offers higher levels of productivity and quality at lower costs;in promises to free men and women from the dull, repetitious toil of the factory, it is likely to have an impact on society comparable to that made by the growth of computer technology.1.The word “obsolete”(Para.1)most probably means_______.A.weak B.old
C.new D.out of date
2.The author is anxious about_______.A.his people no longer taking the lead in industrial innovation
B.his country no longer being a wealthy nation
C.his people forgetting to raise their productivity
D.his country falling behind other industrial nations
3.According to the author, in his country_______..A.the proportion of labor force to capital investment is quite low
B.the growth rate of labor force should be greater than that of capital investment
C.the productivity increases should be achieved by the increases of labor force
D.capital investment should have increased more rapidly than labor force
4.So far as the influence on society is concerned, _______.A.robot technology seems to be much more promising than computer technology
B.computer technology has less to offer than robot technology
C.robot technology can be compared with computer technology
D.robot technology cannot be compared with computer technology
5.The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to show that_______.A.robots will help increase labor productivity B.robots will rule American factories C.robots are cheaper than human laborers
D.robots will finally replace humans in factories
1.C 2.A 3.A 4.B 5.B1.D 2.C 3.D 4.C 5.A

When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊)?On a trip to a zoo,perhaps?If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago,you would have seen a whole polar bear club.These “Polar Bears” are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water.That day,the air temperature was 3℃,and the water temperature was a little higher.The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island,New York are usually about the age of 60.Members must satisfy two requirements.First,they must get along well with everyone else in the group;this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club.Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.Dcotors don't agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming.Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.Other doctors,however,point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming.They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统)because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm.Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental.The Polar Bears love to swim all year round;they find it fun and relaxing.As one 70-year-old woman says,“When I go into water,I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away.”
65.The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_____.A.they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months
B.they must reach the age of 60
C.they should be easy to make friends with
D.they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February
66.According to the passage,some doctors believe it is true that_____.A.Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water
B.cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high
C.you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue
D.cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter
67.The Polar Bears like to swim year-round,for_____.A.it is an easy way ot keep the body warm in winter
B.they can remain young
C.they find it enjoyable and interesting
D.they might meet fewer troubles in life
68.The passage is mainly about_____.A.the requirements of the Polar Bear Club

Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life.Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk.In fact,you need the same skills in walking as in swimming.However,I believe that five is the best age to learn.By five or six,a child knows fear of water,a very important thing to know.It's wise to be afraid,to recognize true danger.Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous.To really benefit from swimming,every swimmer should learn,as soon as possible,these four basic strokes;butterfly,backstroke,breastroke,and crawl.I feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others,since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally,without any training.In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow:
1.Never swim alone!No matter how good you are in the water,don't risk drowning by swimming alone.If you swim by yourself,with no life guards or friends with you,you may get into trouble.2.Don't go beyond your abilities.Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach,Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good.Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive.3.Don't smoke.Swimming depends on a healthy body;good lungs are part of it.4.Work at any activity that builds muscles.69.Little children can learn to swim as soon as _____.A.they can talk B.they start walking C.they have no fear of the water
D.they are five or six years old
70.The author believes that fear of water is_____.A.stupid B.sensible C.dangerous D.not smart
71.The stroke that some young swimmers use first is_____.A.Picture(1)B.Picture(2)C.Picture(3)D.Picture(4)
72.According to the passage,you should not swim alone because_____.A.the water is too cold B.your parents would not be happy
C.something in the water might attack D.you might drown

Is there a difference in meaning between“It's too late to make a telephone.Mary is asleep now.” and “It's too late to telephone.Mary will be asleep now?”
Yes.The difference is in the reason given for it being too late to telephone.In the first sentence“Mary is asleep now”,the speaker is stating a fact.In the second sentence“Mary will be asleep now,” the speaker is saying what Mary usually does.In fact,it's possible that Mary isn't asleep,but she is usually asleep at this time.So let's take two situations.In the first case,imagine Mary's mother answers the telephone.You:“May I speak to Mary,please?”
Mother:“No.It's too late.Mary is asleep now.”
You:“ Are you sure?It's only 10 o'clock.”
Mother:“ Yes.I went to her room and she was asleep.”
The mother knows that Mary is asleep because she went into her room and saw her.Here is another case.Two friends decide to telephone Mary.Jack:“Let's telephone Mary.It's 10 o'clock.”
Jill:“No,It's too late.She will be asleep now.”
Jill knows that Mary always goes to bed before 10 o'clock ,so now she'll probably be asleep.But it is also possible that she is staying up late.73.In the first situation,Mary's mother_____.A.wants to tell you that she knows Mary is asleep B.knows that Mary was asleep
C.has no idea whether Mary is asleep or not D.wants to know if she can take a message for Mary
74.In the second situation,Jill_____.A.knows that Mary has gone to bed B.doesn't know that Mary is asleep
C.thinks it's likely that Mary cannot answer the telephone D.is sure that Mary can not answer the telephone
75.According to the teacher,in which situation do you think the word “will” is used in the same way Jill uses it?
A.It's too heavy,I think.I'll help you.B.Don't get into his office.He will be angry now.C.You won't have to come to my office.I will send it to you.D.Will you please do me a favor?
