Part H Reading Comprehension (30%)
Directions：There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C
and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Questions 31 to 35 are bad on the following passage：
Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, but few people are even moderately proficient at pronouncing
foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this，some obvious, some perhaps not so obvio
us. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and conquently never t about dealing with it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill, one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itlf. I think even teachers of language，while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught? the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and by his whole attitude to the subject should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his clo attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take cond place.
Apart from this question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher：the first, knowledge；the cond，technique. It is important that the teacher should be in posssion of the necessary information. This can generally be obtained from books. It is possible to get from books some idea of the mechanics of speech，and of what we call general phonetic theory.
It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages, between the speech habits of English people and tho, say, of your students. Unless the teacher has such a picture, any comments he may make on his students’pronunciation are unlikely to be of much u，and lesson time spent on pronunciation may well be time wasted.
31. According to the passage, pronouncing foreign languages.
A. few people are extremely good at
B. even modern people are not good at
