Arabic is the official language of Kuwait, but English is widely spoken. It is used in business and is a compulsory second language in schools. Among the non-Kuwaiti population, many people speak Farsi(波斯语), the official language of Iran, or Urdu(乌尔都语), the official language of Pakistan.

Arabic is spoken by almost 200 million people in more than 22 countries. It is the language of the Qur’an, the Holy Book of Islam, and of Arab poetry and literature. While spoken Arabic varies from country to country, classical Arabic has remained unchanged for centuries. In Kuwait, there are differences between the dialects spoken in urban areas and those spoken in rural areas. Islam is practiced by the majority of Kuwaitis and governs their personal, political, economic and legal lives. Muslims pray five times a day — at dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and evening. The exact time is listed in the local newspaper each day. Friday is the Muslim holy day. Everything is closed. Many companies also close on Thursday, making Thursday and Friday the weekend.

The extended family is the basis of the social structure and individual identity. The family is private. Female relatives are protected from outside influences. It is considered inappropriate to ask questions about a Kuwaiti’s wife or other female relatives.

Kuwaitis are hospitable. However, it is important to behave according to their cultural customs. Although women play a greater role in Kuwaiti society than women do in many other Gulf countries, they seldom socialize (交往)together in public. Greetings are therefore between members of the same sex. In all cases they are given with a sense of enthusiasm and general pleasure at meeting or seeing the person again. Kuwaitis take time during the greeting process to talk about their health, family, friends and other general matters of interest.

The first name is the personal name. The second name is the father’s personal name. The third and fourth names are the grandfather’s personal name and a name that shows the family lineage(血统). Women do not take the husband’s name upon marriage.

In Kuwait, extended family or very close friends may exchange gifts for birthdays and other celebratory occasions. If you are invited to a Kuwaiti home, it is necessary to bring a houseplant, box of imported chocolates, or a small gift from your home country. If a man must give a gift to a woman, he should say that it is from his wife, mother, sister, or some other female relative.

73. What does the underlined word “compulsory” in the first paragraph mean?

A. required             B. wide          C. important        D. official

74. Which of the following statements is right?

A. English is the official language of Kuwait.

B. Classical Arabic has changed constantly for centuries.

C. The weekend is set on Thursday and Friday.

D. Farsi is the second language in schools.

A. Kuwaitis seldom communicate with strangers

B. Kuwaitis usually have a lot of topics to greet others.

C. Women are allowed to attend all kinds of activities.

D. You needn’t bring anything when visiting a Kuwaiti home.

第五部分 任务型阅读(共10小题，每小题1分，共10分)

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的词(每空1词)。

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese students they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor.” I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.

First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to increase their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.

Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be fluency(流利) not accuracy(精确). Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.

The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.

Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(积极主动的)language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive attitude, then, you will see English opportunities wherever you go.

If you do not use your English beyond the classroom, you will forget that English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.
