新高一的学生应该如何学好语文怎么写？( 九 )

一、关于语法的学习。中国人学英语，学一些语法知识是必要的，要把语法的主要条条记熟背会。但是学英语的主要目的不是研究语法，而是用英语进行交际，所以花大量时间研究语法的细枝末节和做语法单项填空，是不足取的。不如用那些时间去背点儿短文，读点儿小故事或听听录音，学习效果会更好。要切记，英语水平的提高，是在使用英语的实践中实现的。

解析：
1、D 本题考查概括中心。中心应说的是全国数学竞赛。而竞赛的时间、名称的由来、多少人参加只是文章的部分内容。
2、C 需要简单计算。86年开始的，开展了不到十年，算一下1995年合适。
3、A 这题是典型的分析判断题。全文的基调是肯定这个数学竞赛，所以老师说的学生成绩难以置信的话就不是怀疑，而是为他们感到自豪了。

In the 1930s, a lot of people in the USA were out of work.Among these people was a man named Alfred Butts.He always had an interest in word games and so on, to fill his time, he planned a game which he called ?Lexico?.However, he was not completely satisfied with the game, so he made a number of changes to it and, in time, changed its name from ?Lexico? to ?Alph? and then to ?Cri Cro?.He wanted to make some money from his new game but he didn?t have any real commercial（商业性的）succe.In 1939, Butts happened to meet a man called Jim Brunot who showed an interest in the new game.The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was offered for sale in the United Sates under its new name- ?Scrabble?.
At first, it didn?t sell very well.In the first year it sold just 2, 250 sets and by 1951 it had only reached 8, 500 sets a year.
