If you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language for
several hours each day. It may become part of your “inner speech.” In other words, you start thinking in that
language. Your mind stops trying to translate things from your native language into the second language. But most
of the English learners live in places where English is not the main language. This may be true for you. You may
not have many chances to practice English. You may even be self-taught.
When you speak, your speech might be slower than you would like. This is because your mind is still
translating from your first language, which can also sound unnatural. English, like every other language, has its
own sentence structure.
The good news is that thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency (流利)! It is not very
difficult, but it does need practice.
的
Most experts note that it’s best to start small. So, a good first step is to think in individual (单独 ) words.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司Look around you. What do you see? In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings. Charles Thomas
has taught English for over 10 years. He tells his students to name the things that they see around them, wherever
they are. Start with nouns and then add in verbs, he suggests.
Another exercise that Thomas suggests is describing in your mind objects you don’t know the words for. For
example, if you’re looking at your house and you see your garage, but you can’t think of the name in English. You
can say, “The place inside where I put my car.” You can also use shorter phrases, such as “It’s similar to...” or “It’s
the opposite of...” Thomas says doing this can help learners of any language. As a Spanish learner, he does it
himself.
Next, you can move to exercises like thinking in simple sentences and in conversations. So, how much time
should you spend on these exercises? Thomas says you do a little every day. “When you make things a habit, then it
just appears suddenly into your mind without thinking and then, before you know it, really, you’re thinking in
English.”
27. According to the writer, people may speak a second language slowly because ________.
A. they don’t live in a place people speak that language
B. they try to translate from their native language
C. they don’t have time to practice that language
D. they may teach that language by themselves
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Your surroundings can help you translate the language well.
B. The sentence structure is the key to learn a second language well.
C. Thinking more in a second language may help you speak fluently.
D. Describing with shorter phrases can help spell the unknown words.
29. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?
A. To explain why our second language sounds unnatural.
B. To discuss our problems of learning a second language.
C. To show some examples of learning English by thinking.
D. To encourage people to train their brains to think in English.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司Passenger ships, trade ships, and fishing boats are a normal part of life on the open sea. However, all their
activity creates a great deal of noise underwater. Scientists from the United States and Canada recently reported
their observations (观察) that the ocean is getting noisier.
Scientists at the University of Victoria have studied the recordings recorded with equipment placed underwater
near the busy shipping lanes off Vancouver Island in Canada. They say engine(发动机) noise is continuous during
the day, and a little less strong at night.
Scientists say it is likely that whales must call out more loudly to be heard over this noise. The noise could
make it more difficult for orca whales to find food. The orcas find fish by producing clicking sounds and other
noises. Loud engine noise could be interfering with their efforts.
Michael Jasny is a policy expert for the Natural Resources Defense Council. He says the rise of underwater
noise is limiting the ability of whales to communicate.
Shipping noise falls across the same frequencies (频率) that these animals use for all their vital(重大的，紧要
的) behaviors — for feeding, for finding mates, for avoiding predators (捕食者) and for going ahead.”
Mr. Jasny says sound travels very effectively underwater. And it is not just whales he is worried about.
“The whole web of life in the oceans depends on sound. And as more and more research has been done, it’s
been very clear that what we have on our hands is really a major problem. It’s a serious problem. It’s a global
problem. Fortunately, in shipping we have a problem that has a solution.”
One answer is to design quieter ships. America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or
NOAA, has four new ships that are made to be quieter. Michael Bahtiarian works for Noise Control Engineering,
the company which helped design the boats.
Mr. Bahtiarian says the main source of noise pollution is the propeller(螺旋桨). Better shaped propellers and
ship designs can help to reduce noise. NOAA’s ships also have costly engines, which produce less noise. Mr.
Bahtiarian says the technology to make quieter ships does exist and has been used in the army for some time.
30. The underlined phrase “interfering with” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A. controlling B. troubling C. encouraging D. stopping
31. We can tell that whales depend on sound for ________.
A. communicating with their mates B. stopping predators from fishing
C. fighting against the shipping noise D. telling the night time from the day
32. From the passage we can learn that ________.
A. expensive engines produce less noise in the ocean
第6页/共8页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司B. many animals in the ocean depend on sound for living
C. people should stop making big ships in order to save whales
D. it is difficult to find a way to stop noise pollution in the ocean
33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Ocean is Getting Noisier. B. Whales and Ships in the Ocean.
C. Whales are Facing a Serious Problem. D. Quiet Ships are Needed in the Ocean.
The Palace Museum Will Welcome a New Member
The Palace Museum has begun to build a new branch (分支). The branch museum, located in Xiyuhe Village
in Beijing’s Haidian District, will cover 620,000 square meters with a total floor area of 102,000 square meters.
Exhibition areas, space for cultural relic (遗迹) repairing and storehouses will cover 35,000 square meters, 20,000
square meters and 23,000 square meters separately. It will also include 9,500 square meters of space for digital
public communications and a 2,500-square-meter visitor service area.
The branch museum for large cultural relic exhibitions is expected to welcome 3,000,000 visitors a year.
According to Shan Jixiang, the former director of the Palace Museum, the branch museum will present a series
of exhibitions with characteristic themes and show visitors efforts to repair the relics. “Having such a new museum
will improve our service and enlarge our room to display our collections,” he said. The lack of enough exhibition
space has been a lasting problem for the Palace Museum, which houses about 1,860,000 cultural relics. The need to
provide a safe environment for the collections has meant that only two percent of the museum’s treasures can be
displayed to the public at the same time. “It’s currently impossible to display the collections of large items in the
Palace Museum, but the branch will offer good conditions to put them on display,” Shan said.
Red and yellow-two colors that were often used by royals in the Palace Museum-are featured in the branch
museum. It is also designed to be eco-friendly and energy-saving to match the natural environment.
The branch museum will fully open in June 2022. When completed, it will become an important stop on
Beijing’s cultural tourism routes, which also include the old Summer Palace, the Badaling section of the Great Wall
and the Ming Dynasty Tombs. It is said that the branch museum will be an important site for cross-cultural
communication and help to make Beijing a global city in the future.
