Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading prehension is no problem, and you are speaking fluently. 36 First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for all learners of English as a foreign language. 37 What you need to do is to find listening resources. The Inter is really a useful tool for English students. You can download Realplayer from . Realplayer allows you to use the Inter like a radio station. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (挫败 ) by limited understanding. 38 Here is some of the advice I give my students: Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything. Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times. Do not translate everything into your native language. 39 Don’t concentrate on details until you have understood the main idea. I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. 40 Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts. Firstly, translating creates a barrier (障碍 ) between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly(不断地 ). By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said. A. What should you do? B. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners! C. However, after several weeks, I got used to the grammar rules. D. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. E. This method usually resulted in confusion. F. Listen for the General idea of the conversation. G. But you can’t follow a n ative English speaker at all! 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分 45分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20小题；每题 1． 5分， 满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（ A, B, C和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Seven loyal readers came to the Teens’ office two weeks ago.
