21、How to Speak English Fluently
Immerse(沉浸)yourself in English every day
【1】The best way to quickly improve your English is to spend at least a few minutes practicing every day.
There’s a special language learning method called “immersion”. With immersion, you try to surround yourself with the language as much as you can in your day-to-day activities.
Accept that English grammar has a lot of exceptions
Sometimes, you can find patterns in English grammar, but other times English doesn’t make sense at all. It’s easy to get stuck on learning how to speak English properly if you try to find a reason for everything. 【2】So the best thing to do is just memorize the strange exceptions and move on.
Learn intonation, body language and gestures
Intonation is the “rise and fall” or tone changes in how a person speaks. Body language is how a person uses their own body to support (or go against) what they mean. Gestures are hand and body movements that work together with what someone is saying. 【3】 One way to learn is to just watch how native English speakers communicate with each other.
Share your opinions online
To really learn English speaking, you need to learn how to express yourself in English. Even if you have ideas for conversations, it can be hard to know how to put them into your own words. You can practice this by participating in conversations online. 【4】
Get direct feedback
To improve your speaking, you can ask directly for feedback. Since you usually can’t do this with casual conversations, it might be worth setting up a language exchange, where you can ask the person to tell you directly if any of your sentences sounds awkward or unnatural. 【5】Hello Talk also allows you to chat in English, and then your conversation partner will literally mark out your mistakes.
A．Sometimes, English is just strange!
B．There are many options for practicing your writing skills.
C．Listen carefully when someone asks you a question in English.
D．It’s not easy to learn these three things because they seem very natural.
E．Posting on social media and leaving comments on articles are good approaches.
F．Studying English for an hour once a week isn’t usually enough to make any real progress.
G．There are even apps for this, like Go Correct, where you can connect with English teachers.

23、 There are many kinds of book clubs where members discuss a different book every month. What about dinner clubs, where people get together once a month or four times a year to make and eat dinner? In the dinner club that I joined, the hostess of the dinner club would prepare a big dinner first. Then the members would begin discussing the food. 【1】.
There are two variations of a dinner club. One has a group of people who try a different restaurant once a month. 【2】. When they all meet, they order and share different dishes. This is a great idea, especially if you live in a big city where there are hundreds of different restaurants.
【3】. One way is to have the hostess for the month decide on a type of food. The hostess is responsible for cooking the entrees. The other members make different courses at home, like salad and dessert, and bring them to the dinner club. For an even more exciting and interactive type of dinner clubs, the entire group comes together in the hostess’ kitchen. 【4】. In this way the members of the group not only learn about different types of food, but also different methods of cooking.
The great thing about a dinner club is that it serves in many different ways. 【5】. Couples can get together for some food and great conversations. A stay-at-home mother can get a couple of other stay-at-home mothers together and start a children's lunch club. If you have a group of friends that love to get together and experiment with different types of food, the possibilities are endless!
A．Now, let's talk about our dinner club
B．This was the beginning of our dinner club
C．They prepare the entire meal in a group effort
D．Usually one member decides on the restaurant
E．The other kind of dinner clubs has many different forms
F．It offers regular well-organized social events in selected places
G．You can make the dinner club even more special one month by inviting partners
24、 The jaguars(美洲豹) didn't bother me much during the day. Adonis, our local guide who was leading us deep into the Guatemalan jungle, guaranteed that we wouldn't come under attack from the jaguars. The most recent time he had seen one was more than a year ago. Last week, he had spotted some jaguar tracks, which was probably about as close to the animals as we would get, he said.
But his guarantee meant little that night as I cowered in my hammock(吊床) under the Central American stars. Now my mind turned every soft sound of waving leaves into a moving big cat full of murderous intent(probably to get back at the rude human who had interrupted its life.)And, if it wasn't a jaguar ready to attack, it was a poisonous snake, picking which of my bottoms to sink its long sharp tooth into.
Tiredness calmed my overactive imagination and I slept slightly. Next day, big surprise: no death by either snake bite or jaguar attack and injury. We packed up our stuff and continued toward our destination Mirador, the site of the tallest temple in the Mayan world.
Although we may have questioned why we had left a perfectly nice beach to come here, that night no doubts remained. Just before sunset we took our places at the top of the temple hill. A Mayan astrologer(占星家)had probably sat in the same place 2,000 years before and improved his knowledge of the Milky Way.
Tonight, as with every night, spectacular pink shades marked the western skyline. The sky darkened and, one by one, the stars shone with a soft light into life.
【1】What did the guide think of the jaguars?
A.They were difficult to find. B.They were aggressive killers.
C.They were tough to deal with. D.They had close relations with man.
【2】What does the underlined word “cowered” in Paragraph 2 most nearly mean?
A.Shrank. B.Skipped.
C.Relaxed. D.Danced.
【3】What message is the author trying to convey in the last paragraph?
A.We should show respect to nature.
B.Traveling in the jungle can be dangerous.
C.The ecology problem requires urgent attention.
D.The universe is lasting while human life is short.
25、 An expert suggested that certain criminals should be sent to prison in their own home. When the scheme was first put forward publicly, many people_________to it or had serious _________about it.

When_________ to explain the basis for his opposition, he thought for a moment and_______confessed, 'Well, I guess, because it's novel. That's my_______reason. '
Advocates of the scheme pointed out that courts frequently sentenced first offenders to community service of some kind ___________send them to prison.

Some critics rushed to take extreme cases. '_______a murderer is allowed free in the community like this, what is to prevent him from__________somebody else? 'This argument__________the fact that nobody proposed to allow condemned murderers to use the bracelet(手镯)system. One criticism put forward was that an offender could ________his bracelet and leave it at home or give it to a friend to__________while he himself went off to commit another crime. The________to this was that the bracelet would be made________the computer could immediately detect any attempts to take it off or tamper with (胡乱摆弄) it.
A most serious objection to the scheme was that the________life of prison was intended to be part of the deterrent to crime. A prisoner who was allowed to live at home would suffer no particular____________and thus not be deterred from repeating his crime.
No immediate________was taken on the proposal. It was________too revolutionary and needed to be examined very carefully. However, the idea was not rejected. Several governments ________experts to investigate the scheme and make recommendations for or against it.
