高二英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

Learning English as a second language for non-native English speakers is not an easy task. One needs to spend a considerable(相当多的) time before you could speak or write it. There are only two ways to learn the English language or any other language.

The first way is very expensive. If you notice, a person moves to another country and stays there for a couple of years and then goes back to his home non-native speaking country, the person becomes accustomed to speaking English. This is the most effective way of learning to speak and write a language unfamiliar to you.

The learner learns the language because he / she is forced to do so and there is no other language being used. Not to mention that the learner should adapt to the environment. It is all started from listening. This is the process how language is acquired if you will stay long in a foreign country.

The second way is the traditional way of learning English as a second language at school. Obviously, this is cheaper than the first, but it needs a considerable time before you learn the language. Today, there are different language centres offering their services for people to learn the language in your own country. They have all the materials needed because, compared to the first, they’re affordable and reasonable.

Nowadays, learning English as a second language is a global trend. Since the English language is used in most of business transactions (交易) you may need it, too. Otherwise you will not go along with the future trends that will arise.

1.The most effective way of learning a second language is to ______.

A.learn it from native speakers

B.spend a lot of time

C.practice more

D.stay in a speaking country for several days

2.The advantage of the traditional learning way is it ______.

A.needs much time

B.is economical and practical

C.is simple and practical

D.is effective and reasonable

3.Now an affordable way to learn a foreign language is to ______.

A.go to a middle school

B.study at a language centre

C.communicate with more people

D.have a foreign teacher

4.From the passage we learn that ______.

A.learning foreign languages is easy

B.there are more than five ways to learn foreign languages

C.family environment is very helpful for learning foreign languages

D.learning a foreign language is good for your future career

Regarded as one of the English language’s most gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery, human nature, and philosophy (哲学). Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Additionally, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.

Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to a public one. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing due to tuberculosis (肺结核), he began viewing life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.

At around the age of 16, the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser. He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816, entitled O Solitude! If I Must With Thee Dwell. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry, but was sharply criticized by a magazine. However, the negative response didn’t stop his love of rhythm .

John Keats’ next work was Endymion, which was published in May 1818. The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, however, he tried something more narrative-based (叙事体的) and wrote Isabella. During this time, John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences. He would have to have the “knowledge” associated with his poems. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned. However, a bout (发作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.

1.Why did John Keats’ change attitude towards life ?

A.Because his parents passed away.

B.Because he only received poor education.

C.Because Edmund Spenser’s poetry influenced him too much.

D.Because he received a lot of criticism from a magazine.

2.While trying to achieve his dream of becoming a poet, John Keats was_____.

A.experienced. B.impatient.

C.knowledgeable. D.determined.

3.What do we know from the passage?

A.Keats received little education at school.

B.Endymion was concerning a real love story.

C.In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.

D.Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.
