39、篇的重點并非是給予。.閱讀七選五(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good，most would admit that their spoken English is poor.Whenever I speak to a Chinese student，they always say，“My spoken English is poor.” 16 I would like to suggest that there may be some

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
