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. ‎ ‎32. 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 ‎33. 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 ‎34. 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 ‎35. 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 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分) ‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ If you think your vocabulary is weak, a little effort every day over six to nine months can go a long way in improving it.

I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned round to find an old  lady looking up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and enthusiastically (热情地) responded, "Of course you may", and she gave me a big hug. "Why are you in college at such an age?" I asked. She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids..."       "No seriously," I asked. I was curious about what may have motivated (激发) her to be taking on this challenge at her age. "I always  dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.      After class we walked to the student union building and  shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant  friend. During the next three months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop (不停顿地) every day. I always liked listening to this ‎ "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.  ​    Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon (校园图标) and she easily made friends wherever she went.

Secondly，humor has a positive effect on our health. It's said that laughter is the best medicine. Thirdly，humor helps us remove stress and have a positive attitude toward life. Finally，I believe humor can be a powerful and delightful way to establish close friendships with people.‎ 读后续写【参考范文】‎ A little nervous, she stood behind the microphone and simply said, "I'm glad to be invited here to speak.

You can't stop playing because you are old; you grow old because you stop playing, so keep on playing."        At the year's end, Rose finished the college degree.

I believe that when she left, she must have no regrets, because her dream came true.‎
