W: Excuse me, Professor. I have a question. I’m worried about my English skills. I get good marks on tests, but I don’t feel that I’ve learnt a lot.
M: Well, it’s a good concern. But don’t worry. (22)Many advanced English learners have a large "passive vocabulary," but they worry about their "active vocabulary." (23)They can understand many difficult English words when reading or listening, but they don’t use most of them when speaking or writing in English. They feel this is a problem. They would like to use all the difficult words that they know.
W: You mean I use too few words?
M: That’s not what I’m saying at all. Actually, I’m saying the opposite thing.
W: I’m afraid I can’t follow you.
M: In your native language, there are also thousands of words that you understand but you don’t use. (24)So your active vocabulary in your native language is much smaller than your passive vocabulary. And I guess that you are not worried about that.
W: No, I’m not. But I would like to use the new words that I learn in my English classes. How else am I going to remember them?
M: Well, that’s a very good question.
W: I was hoping that you had an answer to this question.
M: (25)You don’t need to worry about using "too few" English words. As your needs for different things grow, you will be able to use your new words more and more. I think you’d be surprised by how much you know.
W: OK, I hope so.

选项 A、Words that you are eager to learn.
B、Words that you find difficult to understand.
C、Words that you understand but seldom use.
D、Words that you often use in speech and writing.

答案D

解析 综合理解题。对话中男士提到,高级英语学习者掌握了大量的消极词汇,但是他们会担心自己的积极词汇。之后解释道,高级英语学习者在阅读和听音的时候能够理解很多较难的英语词汇,但是在自己说或是写的时候不会使用这些词汇。综合理解可知,积极词汇指的是自己认识并能在读和写中使用的词汇。
