They all knew that winter time would be hard — it would be cold and food would be less. As it would get dark really soon, it would be difficult to go looking for food.‎ Therefore, everyone was working hard except Mr. Grasshopper (蚱蜢). He loved autumn. Autumn was a beautiful time. Mr. Grasshopper spent his days playing. He jumped from leaf to leaf. "Oh, life is lovely. The world is beautiful. I want to play forever..." he sang.‎ Just then little Miss Ant happened to pass by. She was dragging a heavy grain of rice behind her. "This is so heavy. I wish I could get some help. I should ask my brother to go along to help me," she was muttering (发牢骚). "Oh, do you need help?" asked Mr. Grasshopper.‎ ‎“Yes, sir. Would you give me a hand? My ant hill is just a few trees away, but this is so heavy," replied the ant happily. "OK. But, first you go and play with me for some time, and then I shall gladly help you. Autumn is so beautiful; you should enjoy the weather," the grasshopper said.‎ ‎"No, Mr. Grasshopper. You must start collecting your food for the winter. Or it will be hard as there won't be anything to eat," said the ant.‎ ‎"Nothing serious. I will go out and find all the food I want when I am hungry. Right now it is time to play," the grasshopper replied. So Miss Ant just shook her head and went on.‎ Then winter came. It was so cold that the ants didn't dare to go out. But they were full and they were warm and happy. Actually, everyone was warm and happy, except for Mr. Grasshopper. He was cold and hungry. As he went hunting for food only when it was less cold than usual, he got very little to eat and soon became weak with hunger.‎ ‎"Oh, why did I spend my days playing? I should listen to the ant..." he thought with regret.‎ 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。‎ ‎( ) 46.

Here are some ways; they may help you to master the English subject.‎ Speak without fear ‎ The biggest problem in learning a new language is fear. They worry they won’t say things correctly or that they will look fool, so they don’t talk at all. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it — again and again until you get it right. ‎ Use all of your resources ‎ Even if you study English at a language school, it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. ‎ Surround yourself with English ‎ The best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radios, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material you have around you, the faster you will learn. ‎ Listen to English music ‎ Listening to music can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. Thus, you can understand what you want. The way to learn is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the singers. If you don’t know the meaning, look it up in the dictionary. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. ‎ 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。‎ ‎( ) 51. What’s the biggest problem in learning a new language?‎ ‎ A. Fear. B. Time. C. Confidence. D.
