三. 阅读理解(30分)

A

Many Chinese students who have learnt English for more than ten years are still unable to speak English very well when they meet a foreigner. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure, but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.

It’s uncommon that many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to organize their ideas in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and confidence(自信).

Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those foreigners with whom you are speaking? Don’t be shy; they will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of trouble is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that constant practice will help you succeed.

The Origin of Words

About three hundred words in the English language come from the names of people. Many of these words are technical words. When there is a new invention of discovery, a new word may be coined(杜撰) after the inventor or scientist.

It is interesting to observe how many common words have found their way into the language from the names of people. Lord Sandwich, who lived from 1718-1792,used to sit at the gambling(赌博) table eating bread with meat in between. As the Lord was the only one among his friends who ate bread in that way, his friend began to call the bread “sandwich” for fun.. Later on the word became part of the English language.

The word “boycott” means to refuse to have anything to do with somebody or something. It comes from a man called Captain Boycott. He was a land agent in 1880 and he collected rents and taxes for an English landowner in Ireland. But the Captain was a very harsh(苛刻的) man. He treated his poor tenants (佃户) very badly. His tenants decided not to speak to him at all. Eventually word got back to the landowner and the Captain was removed. The word “boycott” became popular and was used by everyone to mean the kind of treatment that was received by Captain Boycott.
