Question

閱讀理解 　　To master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read and write．Lenin and his wife Krupskaya once translated a long English book into Russian．But when they went to England in 1902, English people couldn't understand a word they said and they couldn't understand what was said to them．Now more and more foreigners are coming to China and more Chinese are going out to foreign countries to work or study．So the spoken language is becoming more and more important． 　　Speaking, of course, can't go without listening．If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly．The sounds of the Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same．If you don't listen carefully, you'll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers． 　　Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it's to exchange ideas．People generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing．The important thing is to make your idea clear in your head and then to write it in clear lively language． 　　Chinese students read too slowly．If you read fast, you understand better．If you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about．When you meet with new words, don't look them up in dictionary．Guess the meaning from the context(上下文)．You may not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meaning will become clearer and clearer．If you look up every word, you'll never finish a book． 　　Students of a foreign language need a particular(特別)knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language they are studying．They should study these subjects in the foreign language, not only in translation．In this way one can kill two birds with one stone：learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time． (1) In the first paragraph the writer mainly told us ________． [　　] A． how to speak English B． how to read and write C． why spoken English is important D． why English people couldn't understand Lenin (2) In his last point the writer advised us ________． [　　] A． to kill two birds with one stone B． to learn two languages at a time C． to study all the subjects in a foreign language D． to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying (3) In the fourth paragraph the writer gave some advice on ________． [　　] A． how to read faster B． how to guess the meaning of a new word from the context C． how to look up new words in the dictionary D． how to grasp the general meaning of a passage (4) “To kill two birds with one stone”means ________． [　　] A． to get some particular knowledge B． to get more than what one pays C． the stone is too big D． the birds are blind enough
