40、 reasons for their problems with spoken English.First，they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. 17 However，you can speak with a limited vocabulary，if you choose a positive attitude.Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know. 18 Sometim

42、ur aim is fluency.You want to get your message across，to talk to someone in English，as quickly and as well as you can，even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense，but it doesn't matter. 19 The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening.You have one mouth but two ea

43、rs！All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth，most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners.Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why the

44、ir English always remains poor. 20 AThe person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he or she hears.BThey may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.CObviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.DIf you have this proactive outlook，then you

45、 will see English opportunities wherever you go.EHowever，their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”！FSecond，they are afraid of making mistakes.GThe second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.【答案】1620ECFAD.完形填空(共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分)September 4 was my first day at
