BWhat is language for?Some people seem to think its for practicing grammar rules and learning lists of wordsthe longer the lists, the better. However, its wrong. Language is for the exchange (交流) of ideas and information. Its meaningless knowing all about a language if you cant use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they cant speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. People shouldnt be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote: “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. Theyre English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history, but they make language. But a person can only make his own language. It cant make another peoples language. So Chinese learners can learn about grammar, but they shouldnt focus on it. They should put communication first. Understanding others correctly and expressing themselves freely matter more.5. Generally，when an American or an Englishman speaks English，he _.Anever makes mistakes Boften makes mistakesCcan't avoid making mistakes Dseldom cares about mistakes6If too many native speakers break a rule，_.Awhat they use will become right Bthey are against the lawCthey should say sorry to others Dthey will become heroes7. Why Bernard Shaw is mentioned in this passage?A. to prove that everybody makes mistakes.B. to prove that foreigners speak English too correctly and they never make mistakes.C. to show that native speakers are not afraid of making mistakesD. to show that foreigners dont have to be afraid of making mistakes while speaking English.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced in America.
