I wrote my first e-mails in German after reading just one short (40-page) book for learners 13 in simple German, a few e-mail messages from a German friend, and after 14 my very small word collection for a few months. And my e-mails in German had almost no mistakes.How was that 15 — writing correct sentences after getting so little input (投入)? First, my e-mails included very simple sentences. 16 the most important thing was my research: I looked for example 17 on the Web and in dictionaries.I 18 a lot of time on each sentence. It took me more than an hour to write my first message, which included only a few German sentences.The writing process (过程) was long and it 19 much effort (努力), but it was fun. The experience was very encouraging and it made me even more 20 in German. Perhaps one of the reasons why it was so enjoyable was that I knew I was building correct sentences.( ) 11. A. articles B. books C. e-mails D. stories( ) 12. A. make B. let C. get D. have( ) 13. A. read B. written C. had D. helped( ) 14. A. teaching B. improving C. adding D. using( ) 15.

Thanks to the means of communication and transportation. Today, people have moved out of their own countries, to other lands, in search of better lives. If you look at any large companies, you will find the workers come from different countries and cultures, working together in it. This has made one thing quite apparent - If someonewants to be successful today, he has to be a global citizen, someone wants to know all kinds of cultures, and he has to know the people he is working or traveling. And, the first thing that a person trying to know about a foreign culture has to do is to learn the language.There are more than six thousand seven hundred languages in the world today. It is impossible to learn all of them. Also, many of these languages are spoken by less than thousand people! So, there is no point in learning such languages as their utility (功用) is very low. So, a person who wants to study a foreign language should choose any one of the most useful languages to learn.21. “The world today has become a small place.” means …___________‟.A. The earth is getting smaller and smallerB. The population of the world is growing fastC. Communication and transportation are developing fastD. Going to other countries is easier than before22. The underline word “apparent” may mean …______‟ in China.A. 显然的B. 有趣的C. 必要的D. 可能的23. If you want to know about a foreign culture, you must ________.A. know about the people he is working withB. be a global citizenC. have some foreign workmatesD. learn a foreign language24. There are ______ languages in the world today.A. less 6,700B. 6,700C. over 6,700D. less 67025. Which of the following is WRONG?A. Many people go to other countries to get a better life.B. You can meet people from many countries in a large company.C. It‟s impossible for a person to lea rn all the languages.D. If you want to learn a foreign language, you should choose the most useful one.BIn learning English, one should first pay attention to listening and speaking. It is groundwork of reading and writing. You‟d better try your best to speak while you do much listening. Don‟t be afraid of making mistakes. But be careful not to let them stop you from improving your English. While you are doing this, a good way is to write—keep a diary, write notes or letters, then if you can, ask some others to go through what you have written and tell you where it is wrong. Many mistakes in your speaking will be easily found when you write. Through correcting the mistakes, you can do better in learning English.If you are slow in speaking, don‟t worry. One of the helpful ways is reading, either aloud or to yourself. The important thing is to choose something interesting to read. It mustn‟t be too difficult for you. When you are reading in this way, don‟t stop to look up the new words if you can guess their meanings when they have nothing important to do with the sentences. You can do that some other time.根据短文内容,完成句子。
