三、阅读下面短文,从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项,使短文通顺连贯,其中有两项是多余选项。〔人与社会——影视艺术与文化价值〕
Watching English films and television programmes is an excellent way to practise your listening skills and pick up new words. Here are some tips.
Focus on more recent movies. There are many old English films that are well worth watching. 1. This will give you a good idea of the kind of language people use today.
Watch them with subtitles in the beginning. Watching films with the English subtitles can make you understand them more easily. Seeing the words appear on the screen means that you have two different ways to learn what you're listening to. 2. And you can also know how the words are used.
Watch them without subtitles later. Real life doesn't come with subtitles, so to get really fluent, you will finally need to be able to understand what is being said without help! 3. This time, really focus on your listening skills.
Pick out new words. Unlike conversations in real life, the great thing about watching a film is that you can stop and replay anything you don't understand! 4. You can also practise repeating words out loud to improve your pronunciation.
5. You will find it much easier to pick up new words if you are really paying attention to the film. Of course, you'll have to focus, but don't force yourself to sit through a film that would make you fall asleep.
A. There are some educational movies.
B. It can be a great way for you to remember words.
C. Keep a dictionary beside you and make a note of new words.
D. You can try to get down some beautiful sentences from the movie.
E. If you've watched a film once with subtitles, watch it again without them.
F. But it will be more helpful for you to choose films that are set in the modern society.
G. Choose films that you find interesting and enjoyable, with stories that keep you entertained.
