These people are studying English.However,they are now facing some problems. I am Pablo.I work 50 hours a week as a taxi driver,so I talk to people all day.They understand me,but I know I make a lot of mistakes.No one corrects me.My vocabulary is strong.Grammar is my problem.I’m trying to change little by

little.For example,I can’t use the past tense (时态).I always say,“I drive him to the office this morning” instead of “I drove him to the office this morning”.

My name is Maria Luisa.I’m teaching myself English,and I’m good at

grammar.However,it’s really difficult to find ways to practice English.I live in an area where everyone speaks my language.My neighbors and friends speak Spanish.I can speak Spanish in the supermarket and at the post office.

I am Li Ping.I understand the grammar and the readings in my class and I think my writing is good,but I’m very nervous when I speak English.I don’t want to make any mistakes because I’m afraid people will think that I’m stupid.Also,my pronunciation isn’t good.When I speak,people often say,“What?Say that again.”

I am Yoshi.I have been in the United States for one year.I’m studying hard and I know grammar well,but the vocabulary is very difficult.When I listen,I

don’t understand many of the words.When I try to read,there are three or four new words in every sentence.I feel discouraged.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。很多人都在学习英语,每个人遇到的问题各不相同。文章介绍了四个人学习英语遇到的不同问题。

1.Who may say,“I go to bed late last night”? A.Pablo. C.Li Ping. 答案A 解析推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“Forexample,Ican’tusethepasttense.Ialwayssay,‘Idrivehimtotheofficethismorning’insteadof‘Idrovehimtotheofficethismorning’.”可知巴勃罗不会使用过去时,题干中“Igotobedlatelastnight”属于过去时时态错误,故A项正确。 2.What would be the best advice for Maria Luisa? A.Try to have a wide vocabulary. B.Develop a good knowledge of grammar. C.Read as many English books as possible. D.Make friends with English-speaking people. 答案D 解析推理判断题。根据第二段后三句“Iliveinanareawhereeveryonespeaksmylanguage.MyneighborsandfriendsspeakSpanish.IcanspeakSpanishinthesupermarketandatthepostoffice.”可知,她没有讲英语的环境,所以建议让她和讲英语的人交朋友,创造出练习英语的环境。

B.Maria Luisa. D.Yoshi.

3.Why do people find it hard to understand Li Ping’s English? A.She can’t pronounce words in English correctly. B.She speaks at a very fast speed. C.Her grammar is terrible. D.Her voice is very low. 答案A 解析细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“Also,mypronunciationisn’tgood.WhenIspeak,peopleoftensay,‘What?Saythatagain.’”可知,李萍的发音很差,这是她英语不好的一方面。 4.What can we learn about Yoshi? A.He was born in the United States. B.He has a very small vocabulary. C.He has learned English for years. D.He is very good at listening. 答案B 解析细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句“I’mstudyinghardandIknowgrammarwell,butthevocabularyisverydifficult.”可知,他的问题是词汇。

B

Twenty-five years ago,most young Britons wanted a career in law,to be a doctor,or,if they were creative enough,to take up singing.But today,things stand differently.

According to a survey by Tesco Mobile,a UK company,the “dream job” of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger,or “vlogger”.The

survey,carried out among 1,002 people,found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal careers.

This change is undoubtedly as a result of the Internet and social media.They have made it much easier to reach audiences of the world,without having to enter a career in show business in the traditional way.

In the past,the biggest stars were trained by the Hollywood studios;now,anyone with a computer camera can become a star.Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.

However,what people see is only the bright side of being a vlogger and they fail to notice the fact that only those who are successful earn fame(名声) and fortune.For every success there are hundreds of others who never get off the starting line.There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that remain dreams forever.

Although being vloggers is popular,some young people choose to follow careers that don’t necessarily earn them fame,but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies.Young Israeli David Leshaw,for example,runs a business called the Finishers Club.It’s an online platform for runners to keep a record of their races.His job allows him to express his enthusiasm,and is always a learning experience.And that’s enough for him.

C.The Internet makes it convenient to enter show business.
