閱讀理解

On Monday， I stopped my car in front of my daughter Juliets middle school. She jumped in the float seat. She asked me to help her study for her science test.

“Dad， I need to memorize a unit about the Reproductive Cycle of Plants. And I can hardly make it.”

“You know， memorizing seems like the best way to study. But in fact you can do better in tests if you work on trying to understand the material.”

Juliet was open to my advice. It was Monday afternoon and we had two nights to study before the test on Wednesday. I suggested a plan. “Tomorrow night， you are going to teach the material to me. Tonight， read the unit. Prepare to teach.”

Asking her to teach me was an unusual idea but I was determined （下決心） to do it. Studies show teaching somebody else is a very useful way to learn. Even if you dont do the teaching， the act of preparing to teach leads to more learning than just trying your best to memorize the material.

On Tuesday afternoon， Juliet sat down with her science book facing me and said， “Okay， Dad， lets study.” I wanted her to teach me. But false starts happened. I couldnt be too hard on her. So instead we started with me asking her some simple questions. She knew some but not others. When she didnt know the answers， I encouraged her to check the book.

She started checking things that didnt make sense. And she was actively seeking to test her understanding. I was happy to see it. She wasnt memorizing; she was trying to make sense of things， which was exactly what I had hoped she would do.

1. Why did Juliet feel down？

A. She failed her science test.

B. She couldnt follow her teacher.

C. She knew nothing about planting.

D. She had trouble memorizing a unit.

2. In the writers opinion， what was the key to best learning？

A. Memorizing. B. Testing.

C. Questioning. D. Understanding.

3. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to “ ”.

A. making her check the book

B. asking her to teach me the unit

C. encouraging her to read the unit

D. using simple questions to test her

4. When false starts happened， the writer was .

A. patient B. worried

C. nervous D. embarrassed

5. What can be the best title for the passage？

A. A Creative Father

B. An Unexpected Test

C. Preparing for Teaching

D. Learning from Teaching

閱讀理解

In order to know a foreign language well， four things are necessary. Firstly， we must be able to understand the language when we hear it. Secondly， we must be able to speak it correctly with confidence and without hesitation （猶豫）. Thirdly， we must be able to make sentences that are grammatically correct. Fourthly， we must know how to put sentences into paragraphs so as to write a good letter or composition （作文）.

There is no easy way to success in language learning. A good memory is of great help but it is not simply enough to memorize rules from a grammar book. It is not much use learning long lists of words and their meanings by heart. We must learn words not by themselves but in sentences. We must learn by using the language. “Learn through use” is a good piece of advice for those who are studying a new language. Practice is very important. We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷正（T）誤（F）。
