浙江桐庐县2017高考英语一轮阅读理解选编（二） 【2016高考练习】 阅读理解。阅读下面短文，选择最佳答案填空。 “I don’t speak English”—these are the first words I learned when I came to America.Soon I was able to pronounce the four words clearly,and said them whenever an American tried to talk to me.This answer was very effective(有效的)at ending our conversation and saving me from another uncomfortable situation,or I would have to communicate in a language that I was not familiar with. Before coming to the States,I thought I knew English pretty well.But the truth is that the grammar and vocabulary-based English that is taught in schools overseas(海外的)is not the English people speak in America. But fear not!Once you are in America,you can immediately begin to bridge the gap(弥补差距)between the learned English that you already know and the spoken English that is all around you.To do this,first of all,it is important not to fear when you realize that you may not be as prepared for daily communication as you thought.For me,as soon as I stopped worrying about my accent and started speaking,I made rapid progress.Often the people didn’t notice my mistakes because they were so glad to finally be able to communicate with me.
