Alarmed, Grandma said, “Honey, where areyou going?”Grandpa replied, “To get my teeth!”___T___ 1. Grandpa and Grandma had a lovely talk while the sun was setting.___T___ 2. While talking, Grandpa obligingly took Grandma’s hand.___F___ 3. Grandma gave Grandpa a lingering kiss because of his love and care.___F___ 4. Grandma asked Grandpa if he had remembered nibbling her earbefore their marriage.___F___ 5. Grandpa’s false teeth dropped out with his hearty laugh.8. Directions: Listen to the following talk and fill in the blanks with the missingwords. The talk is given twice.Can you recite the alphabet(字母表) easily and quickly? Can youwrite your name easily? Can you play scales(音阶) on a musical instrument?You would probably say that you memorized all this. But what you actually did was to learn them. And the way you learned them was by forming a habit! In other words, what was once quite difficult for you, such as reciting the alphabet orplaying scales, became easy and almost automatic when you formed the habit ofdoing it. So memory can be described as learning by means of forming habits.A human being has a tremendous(巨大的) number of such habits that enablehim to do most of the ordinary things in life, such as fastening buttons or washing hands. But suppose you read a book and then someone asked you what the book was about, or how to describe the plot(情节). Surely, your response cannot be said to come from habit.But if you examine the situation carefully, you will see that something very much like habit does play a part. For example, with ordinary habits, you learn howto put certain elements together in the proper order. Now, when you give the plot ofa book, or tell what it’s about, you are doing the same kind of thing. In fact, some psychologists say that all learning (and this also means memory) is made up of avast combination of simple habits.9. Directions: Listen to the talk again and then answer thefollowing questionsorally.1. What would people say about doing things easily hand quickly in life?They would probably say that people had memorized how to do them.2. What can memory be described as, according to the talk?It can be described as learning by means of forming habits.3. What can habits do?They enable us to do most of the ordinary things in life.4. What are you actually doing while describing the plot of book?You are making sue of something that is very much like habit.5. What question do you think the speaker is trying to answer?What is memory?10. Directions: Have a discussion on the topic given below.How important is memory to learning?。

(Laughter) It is such a pleasure and an honor to be here with all of you at this great university, so thank you so much for having me. I’m here today because I know that our future depends on connections like these among young people like you across the world.That’s why when my husband and I travel abroad, we don’t just visit palaces and parl iaments(国会) and meet with heads of countries. We also come to schools like this one to meet with students like you, because we believe that relationships between countries aren’t just about relationships between governments or leaders —they’re about relationships between people, particularly young people. So we view study abroad programs not just as an educational chance for students, but also as an active part of America’s foreign policy(政策).Through the wonders of modern technology, our world is more connected than ever before. Ideas can cross oceans with the click of a mouse. Companies can do business andcompetewith companies across the world. And we can text, email, skype with people in the world.So studying abroad isn’t just a fun way to spend a time of learning; it is quickly becoming the key to success in our times. Because getting ahead in today’s workplaces isn’t just about getting good grades or test scores in school, which are important. It’s also about having real experience with the world beyon d your borders — experience with languages, cultures and societies very different from your own.

Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already appear. Let’s see what’s in store for your future shopping.Try it on, virtually（虚拟地）. Want to shop online for a new pair of glasses? Y ou don’t need to guess which pair looks best on you—use the eBay Fashion iPhone app to try a pair of glasses you’re checking out on a picture of your face. But what about buying something bigger? Thanks to Microsoft Kinec t’s action tracking（跟踪）camera, you can cover clothes on your screen body. You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to improve your shopping experience.Get a perfect, custom fit. Everyone’s body is shaped differently. To get a perfec t fit, you sometimes have to get your clothes changed. But by using 3D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly. Some companies scan（扫描）your body using High-tech to get the real sizes, so they can make special clothes just for you.学科+网High-tech shopping carts（推车）and checkout counters（收银台）. High-tech shopping carts could be common in malls and supermarkets in the future. Microsoft Kinect-enabled carts are under test. The cart can follow you along the aisles （通道）, controlled only by your movement and your voice.In the United States, several supermarkets use a certain set called “Scan It” that gives buyers the freedom to scan products on their own while they shop. If we don’t want to wait in line before the checkout counters, w e can use Toshiba’s new object Recognition Scanner.

We cannot see our thoughts, or hear, or taste, or feel them, yet what power they have!A boy named Watt sat quietly by the fireside, watching the lid(盖子) of a pot move up and down. The boiling water makes steam. He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the heavy lid. He went on thinking and thinking. When he grew up, he improved the steam engine(发动机) so much that it could easily do the work of many horses. When you see a steamboat or a steam train, remember that it would never have been built if it had not been the hard thinking of someone.James was a poor farmer’s boy from Scotland. Once, seeing the inside of a watch, he thought, “I am sure that I could make a watch too.” He kept thinking and then made a wooden clock which kept good time. In a few years while still asmall boy, he made enough money to support his father. When he grew up, he went to London to live. Some of the wisest men in England, and the king himself, used to come and listen to him speak. His motto was “I will think of it” which means that he would be able to think of how to do something. In this way, he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don't feel discouraged. Think, and by thinking you will learn how to think in a way that solves your problems, and the problem of others.1．What made Watt think to invent the steam engine?A．The boiling water made the lid of a pot move up and down.B．Watt liked to sit quietly by the fireside, watching water.C．He got a high education and learned a lot about water.D．He liked to study a steamboat or a steam train.2．What do the people mentioned in the passage have in common?A．They wanted to be successful and famous.B．They kept thinking of a solution.C．Their families were very good.D．They were rich and worked hard.3．The underlined word “discouraged” in the last paragraph means _______________.A．困难的B．自信的C．失望的D．灰心的4．What does the passage want to tell us?A．We should thinking less and work hard.B．We should give up easily if meeting difficulties.C．We should work hard to be famous.D．We should try to think of ways to solve problems.E17、One year, a college in the United States announced that it would offer a lot of money for the pure white marigold(金盏花).

So after they were excited for a time, many people had forgotten the announcement.One day after 20 years, the college received a letter and 100 seeds(种子) of pure white marigold.

If you show a strong self-confidence, it would leave a great impression on the examiners.Let's take a closer look at the proportion of scores. The accuracy of pronunciation might account for about 30%. The fluency of language could take up around 30% too. The completeness and logic of the content might be 25%. And the expression of confidence could make up the remaining 15%.So, dear friends, if you want to get a high score in the self-introduction part of the CET-6 oral test, pay attention to these aspects and do your best!

It was truly an eye-opening experience. There were some amazing performances that left me in awe. One candidate delivered their self-introduction with such fluency and confidence! Their pronunciation was perfect, and the logic of their speech was crystal clear. How impressive! But on the other hand, there were also those whose performances were not so ideal. Some stuttered, some forgot what they wanted to say in the middle, and some had a very limited vocabulary. What a pity!Through this experience, I gained a lot of valuable insights. I realized that preparation is key! How important it is to practice repeatedly before the exam. Also, having a clear mind and staying calm during the presentation can make a huge difference. Isn't it amazing how a simple self-introduction can reveal so much about one's language skills and confidence?I truly believe that this experience will have a profound impact on my own language learning journey.4When it comes to getting a high score in the self-introduction part of the CET-6 oral test, there are several crucial points to keep in mind!

Can this scoring truly reflect the real level of candidates comprehensively? I seriously doubt it! Sometimes, candidates might get extremely nervous during the test, which could lead to stuttering or forgetting key points. Should they be punished severely for such temporary conditions? Absolutely not!What's more, accents and regional differences in language usage could also cause unfairness in the scoring. For instance, a candidate froma certain area might have a unique accent that doesn't match the so-called "standard", but that doesn't mean their language ability is poor.So, how can we improve the scoring mechanism? Firstly, we should consider multiple factors rather than just focusing on fluency and pronunciation. The content and logic of the self-introduction should also be given significant weight. Secondly, adding a second round of evaluation or allowing candidates to re-take the test under special circumstances could provide a more fair and accurate assessment.In conclusion, the current scoring of self-introductions in the CET-6 oral test might not be perfect, and there's definitely room for improvement. We should strive for a more comprehensive and fair evaluation system to truly discover the talents in language learning!。
