1.There was a nasty (骯臟的，卑鄙的) accident in our town not long ago, and I saw it happen. I was standing near a road which was under repair, not doing anything special—just watching the men at work. It was not far from the new motorway (高速公路) that runs past the town. It was an old road that used to be very busy—and dangerous before the motorway was built. Today, most cars use the new "superhighway" and the old road is pretty quiet, although cars do often come off the motorway into the town faster than they should.
  Anyway, the men were repairing part of the road and there were signs up for at least 200 meters, telling everybody that the road was narrower than usual. Most of the drivers in both directions saw the signs and slowed down.
  Then three cars came along close together, the third one moving at a very high speed. The first one pas sed the workmen and wanted to turn left. Meanwhile the third car came flying past the second one. The sec and car stopped. I think the driver knew something was going to happen. It did. The third car had no chance of stopping. Its driver braked (剎車) and pulled over to miss the first car and went right off the road.
  There were four people in that car: a man, two women and a child. The child was a boy of nine. I read later that they were going shopping—just shopping, nothing more important than that. The driver was badly hurt. The little bay was hurt too. Both the women were killed immediately. One of them was the driver"s wife and the other was the mother of the little boy. They never got to the shops.

6."Yes, I"ll be ready at nine in the morning. Goodbye, dear, and thanks again. "It had not been an easy telephone call for Mrs. Robson to make. Her daughter had been very kind, of course, and had immediately agreed to pick her up and drive her to the station, but Mrs. Robson hated to admit (承認(rèn)) that she needed help. Since her husband had died ten years before, she had prided herself on her independence (獨立生活 ). She had continued to live in their little house, alone.
  On this evening, however, she was standing at her living-room window, staring out at the SOLD notice in the small front garden. Her feelings were mixed. Naturally she was sad at the thought of leaving the house, as it was full of so many memories. But at the same time she was looking forward to spending her last years near the sea, back in the little seaside town where she had been born. With the money from the sale (出售) of the house, she had bought a little flat there.
  She turned from the living room window, and looked round at the room. One or two pieces of furniture remained, covered with sheets (被單). The floor was bare boards, and all her pictures had been taken from the walls. There was a small fish-tank, with two goldfish circling in it. When asked why, her husband used to say, "It"s nice to have something alive in the room." Since he had passed away, she had always kept some goldfish, had always had "something alive in the room".
  Tim next morning, as her train was pulling out of the station, Mrs. Robson called to her daughter, "Kate, you won"t forget to collect the goldfish, will you? The children will love them. It"s...""I know," Kate interrupted (打斷) gently. "It"s nice to have something alive in the room."

16.Every culture and every country in the world celebrates New Year, but not everyone does it the same way. The countries in North America and Europe welcome New Year on January the first.

21.In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal (目標(biāo)) of language use is communication (交際), then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying "I do it" to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by communicating with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say "I"ll do it". The result can serve as a basis for the student to change his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.

According to the passage, the present tense in English is ______.

A．not used to express one"s readiness to do something in the immediate future
B．used with some verbs but not with others to express future intention
C．basically the same in English as it is in Spanish
D．not the most difficult problem for foreign students

22.
According to tile passage, language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by ______.

A．a(chǎn)sking native speakers for explanations
B．reading good books in the foreign language
C．comparing their speech with that of native speakers
D．paying no attention to them while speaking

23.
According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because ______.

A．native speakers, like foreign students, also try hard to learn their language
B．communication is the primary goal of language learning
C．native speakers will ignore their mistakes
