【題目】 Watching American TV and movies is a surprisingly free way to learn English. You learn modern culture, commonly used slang(俚語), improve listening, and most of all, it’s super fun.
The language used in popular TV shows and movies actually represents real life. Sometimes native(母語的)speakers even use new phrases they learn from movies. The slang today is much different from the slang used by even my parents. Real spoken English changes quite quickly and it’s important to know what’s cool now and what sounds old and stupid.
Most people studying English by watching TV and movies make one or two MISTAKES however.
1.Watching with subtitles(譯文對白字幕)
This is a huge mistake because you learn a lot less than you think. Your eyes naturally go to the subtitles and often the translations aren’t great. It’s impossible to translate slang and jokes anyway. Another thing is that your brain is busy reading your own language. This really slows down the learning.
2.Watching stuff(素材資料)
Turning the subtitles off isn’t enough if you don’t understand 100% of the movie or TV show. It’s not enough to get the “general idea”. I’ve watched so many movies and TV shows with people who aren’t from English-speaking countries, and they always miss the real funny parts, because movies and TV shows are designed for English-speaking people. They don’t need anything explained to them but you do. If you are learning English you need to have these slang expressions and jokes explained to you. Then you will totally “get” everything and your English level will improve like crazy.
No matter what your level is, I’m sure you’ll learn something from this. Check it out.
【1】What’s super fun according to this passage?
A.Learning about modern culture.B.Learning to use common slang.
C.Improving listening.D.Watching American TV and movies.
【2】________represent the changes of real spoken English.
A.Popular TV shows and moviesB.Slang from popular TV shows and movies

【3】Why is it a huge mistake for English learners to watch TV or movies with subtitles?
Because ________.
A.the translation isn’t rightB.it slows down your reading
C.no slang or jokes can be translatedD.you learn much less than you think
【4】Which of the following is NOT right?
A.We should turn off the subtitles when watching TV shows and movies in English.
B.The stuff can help us understand the movies and TV shows totally.
C.We should get the general idea by watching the subtitles.
D.Because we are not English speakers, we need something explained to us.
【5】We will miss the real funny parts of the TV shows and movies if we ________.
A.don’t understand the English slang or the jokesB.watch the stuff about the shows and movies
C.improve our English like crazyD.have these slang expressions and jokes explained to us

看美國電視和電影是學(xué)習(xí)英語的一種令人驚訝的免費(fèi)方式。本文講述了如何通過看美國電視和電影來學(xué)習(xí)英語。
【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“Watching American TV and movies is a surprisingly free way to learn English. You learn modern culture, commonly used slang(俚語), improve listening, and most of all, it’s super fun.”可知句中的it指的就是“Watching American TV and movies”。故選D。
【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“The language used in popular TV shows and movies actually represents real life. Sometimes native(母語的)speakers even use new phrases they learn from movies.”句意是:流行電視節(jié)目和電影中使用的語言實(shí)際上代表了現(xiàn)實(shí)生活。有時(shí)母語人士甚至使用他們從電影中學(xué)到的新短語。可知,流行電視節(jié)目和電影中的俚語代表真實(shí)英語口語的變化。故選B。
【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“This is a huge mistake because you learn a lot less than you think.” 可得知原因,故選D。
【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文中的句子“This is a huge mistake because you learn a lot less than you think. Your eyes naturally go to the subtitles and often the translations aren’t great. It’s impossible to translate slang and jokes anyway. Another thing is that your brain is busy reading your own language. This really slows down the learning.”不建議我們跟著字幕看電影或者電視節(jié)目。故選項(xiàng)C錯(cuò)誤,而選項(xiàng)A正確;根據(jù)句子“It’s not enough to get the “general idea”可知,素材能幫助我們理解大意,所以選項(xiàng)B正確;根據(jù)文中的句子“because movies and TV shows are designed for English-speaking people. They don’t need anything explained to them but you do.”可知,因?yàn)椴皇钦f英語的人,所以需要有人解釋,選項(xiàng)D是正確的。故選C。
【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“I’ve watched so many movies and TV shows with people who aren’t from English-speaking countries, and they always miss the real funny parts, because movies and TV shows are designed for English-speaking people. They don’t need anything explained to them but you do. If you are learning English you need to have these slang expressions and jokes explained to you. Then you will totally “get” everything and your English level will improve like crazy.”可知,作者認(rèn)為會(huì)錯(cuò)過電影或者電視節(jié)目中搞笑的部分人,是因?yàn)樗麄儾焕斫怆娪爸械哪切┵嫡Z和笑話。故選A。

【題目】 I suddenly heard an elephant crying as though frightened. Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Mashwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Mashwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.
There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother’s body and was gone. Mashwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻) against the rocky bank. Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.
Just at this moment, she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地點(diǎn)) where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.
While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mother’s love. Mashwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could, roaring(吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.
【1】The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw _______.
A.the calf was about to fall into the river
B.Mashwe was placing the calf on the rock
C.the calf was washed away by the rising water
D.Mashwe was holding the calf against the rushing water
【2】How did Mashwe manage to save her calf from the fast-flowing water?
A.By putting it on a safe spot.B.By pressing it against her body.
C.By taking it away with her.D.By carrying it on her back.
【3】How did the calf feel about the mother elephant’s roaring?
A.It was a great comfort.B.It was a sign of danger.
C.It was a call for help.D.It was a musical note.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.A Mother’s Love.B.A Brave Act.
