阅读下面短文并用英语回答问题,然后将答案写到相应的位置上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[1]Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with.Your active vocabulary contains the words you understand and use in speech and in print,and your passive vocabulary includes the words you do not use but understand.Although children learn more new words than adults,the vocabulary of an adult is not fixed and can be increased.Improve your language skills with daily exposure to new words,their pronunciations and meanings.
[2].The more often you read,the faster your vocabulary can grow.Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.
[3]Find a new word every day.If you do not encounter an unfamiliar word in your daily reading,use your dictionary to search for one.
[4]Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word you encounter.Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary,you must be able to use it in speech.
[5]Explain the meaning of the word so that you can connect it to something memorable.Use imagery and personal relevance(关联).If you have just learned that the word“obstinate”means stubborn and unyielding,think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car.Imagine him shaking his head,and think of him as obstinate in his refusal.
[6]Use your new word in speech and in writing.Tell a friend about your boss obstinately refusing to reschedule your vacation time.E-mail your sister about how your cat is obstinate about sleeping on your pillow.The first time you use a new word in speech it may seem clumsy and forced,but the more you use it,the more fluent you will become in its use.Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.
[7]Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary.Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is,or to ask for the definition of a new word you have used.The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone,the more likely you are to remember it.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?(no more than 6 words)
小题2:What’s the purpose of the example of the word“obstinate”in Paragraph 5?(no more than 20 words)
小题3:Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 4 words)
小题4:What should we do if there is no unfamiliar word in our daily reading?(no more than 7 words)
小题5:What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?(no more than 3 words)

阅读下面短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题(请注意问题后词数要求)。
Poverty today is a major global issue. Although there are all kinds of definitions used to explain it, in simple words, it means the inability of a person to even get his basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, safe drinking water, health and education. Poverty can be found in each and every corner of the world, although the causes may differ from country to country. Given below are the main causes of poverty in the world today.
Overpopulation is one of the main causes behind the threatening of poverty on an individual level as well as a social level. This is simple math: If there are more mouths to feed and less income, definitely much will remain poor.
Another theory which is used as an explanation for poverty is lack of education. If you look at any of the underdeveloped countries, you will find that the level of education there is very low. Lack of education means lack of employment opportunities, thus leading to unemployment coupled with poverty in the future.
Moving away from one’s own homeland to another city or country in search of employment leads to poverty too. It may take these people a lot of time to find jobs. Meanwhile, they live in bad conditions. The cost of living in the city or country is most of the time too high for them.
There may be other causes of poverty like the change in business. For example, in America, a couple of decades ago, heavy industry flourished ,which employed a lot of African-American people. But now, the focus is more on information technology and health care, both of which employ only skilled and trained people. This has led to unemployment among African-Americans.
Poverty has many ill effects on society. That’s why steps should be taken to get rid of it!
小题1:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “flourished” in Paragraph 5?(No more than 5words)
________________________________________________________________________.
小题2:Why is overpopulation a cause of poverty today?(No more than 12 words)
________________________________________________________________________.
小题3:What’s the situation of education in underdeveloped countries?(No more than 8 words)

小题5:In your opinion, what’s the most significant cause of poverty today? Please give your reason.(Open)

Ugly, a male cat, loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and, shall we say, love. To start with, he had only one eye and where the other should have been was a big hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, and his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, making him look like he was always turning the corner. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction.“That’s one UGLY cat!”So, all the children were warned not to touch him. The adults threw rocks at him. Whenever he was treated badly, he would curl his thin body around feet in forgiveness or begged for love.
One day Ugly shared his love with the neighbor’s dog. The dog's owner did not respond kindly. From my apartment I could hear his screams, and I tried to rush to his aid. By the time I got to where he was lying, it was apparent Ugly’s sad life was almost at an end. As I picked him up and tried to carry him home, I could hear his heavy breath, and could feel him struggling. It must be hurting him terribly.
However, Ugly, in so much pain, suffering and obviously dying, was trying to get closer to me. He turned his one golden eye towards me, and even in the greatest pain Ugly was asking only for a little affection. At that time I thought Ugly was the most beautiful, loving creature I had ever seen. Never once did he try to bite or scratch me, or even try to get away from me. Ugly just looked up at me completely trusting in me to relieve his pain.
Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards. Ugly taught me more about giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk show specials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful. It is time for me to learn to love truly and deeply.
小题1:What reaction did people have when they saw Ugly? (No more than 8 words ) (2 marks)
小题2:Why did the author try to rush to help him? (No more than 5 words) (2 marks)
小题3:What did the author think about the cat when it suffered from much pain?
(No more than 14 words )    (3 marks)
小题4:What is the difference between the neighbor’s attitude and the author’s attitude towards the cat?   (No more than 13 words) (3 marks)

For many the idea of your dream home is not buying a bigger home,but a home that you have built by yourself. A house that is unique and fit for your tastes and your lifestyle. It sounds great but where do you begin to design your dream home? Here is a quick guide that can help you make your dreams come true.
The first step is to get an idea of what type of home you want. You can get inspiration from others. Drive around to neighbourhoods that have the styles of homes you like and take pictures. You can also cut out pictures from magazines, newspapers, or print out pictures you find on the Internet.
The next step will be to make two lists of items for yourself. The first list will be those items or features that you feel your new home must have,such as granite counter tops or a hot water heater. The second list will be those items or features that are on your wish list like a fireplace or slate floors.
At this point you will probably have a good idea of what your dream home will look like, so you will need to seek some professional help. You will need to hire an architect to put your ideas down on paper.You may need to interview a few different architects to find one that you are comfortable with. Make sure whomever you choose for final drawings has a full understanding of local building codes and zoning by­laws. In any ease your final plan will need to be approved by the city and a building permit must be obtained before any construction can begin.
It is time to look for a contractor(承包人). Whichever way you can do it in, be sure you are comfortable with your contractor and you have got references from his past clients. Remember the more homework you do in the beginning, the more enjoyable the process will be.

In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It is difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people on the planet do not have enough to eat. By the end of this year, more than 35 million people will have died as a result of          . Hunger kills more people per year than AIDS and malaria (疟疾) combined.
The UN calculates that almost two-thirds of the world’s hungry people are in Asia. More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a small number of people who don’t have enough to eat. There are many reasons for world hunger. They include wars, droughts, floods and the overuse of farming land. All of them affect food production. But the most important reason is, quite simple, poverty — which has increased recently due to the economic effects of the financial crisis of 2008.
Although many people point out that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution.In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population and there are of course many areas of the world where people generally have more than enough food. Overweight is a far bigger problem than hunger there.
小题1: What’s the main topic of the passage? (no more than 3 words )
                                                               
小题2:Where do most of the hungry people live? (no more than 3 words)
