    Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries may speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.
    The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English.
    The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check this in a dictionary.
    小题1:The writer thinks that        .
    A．choose a good dictionary, and you’ll be successful in learning English
    B．dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English
    C．it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly
    D．using dictionaries very often can’t help to improve writing
    小题2: According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?
    A．Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English.
    B．Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries.
    C．Small two-language dictionaries have serious shortcomings.
    D．Reading something for the first time, you’d better not use dictionaries.
    小题3: When in the reading does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary?
    A．At the beginning of the reading
    B．At the end of the reading
    C．During the first reading
    D．After the first reading
    小题4: This passage mainly tells us        .
    A．that students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionaries
    B．what were the shortcomings of small two-language dictionaries
    C．why students should use large college edition dictionaries
    D．what dictionary students should choose and how to use it

    BEUING (Associated Press 美联社) —China has a growing middle class, a tradition of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educational toys should be easy.
    While China may be the world’s biggest toymaker, many of the best are exported . Department stores here do not have enough high quality toys. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.
    A US company, BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China.

    "We want to build a seven?year relationship with those people," said Matthew J. Estes, BabyCare’s president. "It starts during pregnancy , when the anxiety and needs are highest." BabyCare works on a onetoone basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by BabyCare advise parents, explain toys that are designed for children at each stage of development to age six.
    BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.
    It is a new model for China and develops a market in young children’s education and health that no other companies are in.
    小题1:What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?
    A．Educational toys and foreign toy markets.
    B．Problems with China’s toy market and education.

    A．opening stores in Beijing hospitals
    B．offering 18?month courses on child?care
    C．setting up children’s education centers

    LEEDS, England ─ A Leeds University psychology (心理学) professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.
    "The hatred we hold within us is a cancer," Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
    More than 70 people have become members in Hart’s first 20-week workshop in London ─ a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.
    These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian-born Hart.
    The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.
    The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. "People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness," he said. "People confuse forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one."
    Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.
    "The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with," said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.
    Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people "want to get free of the past".
    小题1:From this passage we know that ______.
    A．high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hatred
    B．high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professors
    C．without hatred, people will have less trouble connected with blood and heart
    D．people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies
    小题2:If you are angry with somebody, you should ______.
    A．try your best to defeat him or her
    B．never meet him or her again
    C．persuade him or her to have a talk with you
    D．try to build up a positive attitude towards the person
    小题3: In Hart’s first 20-week workshop, people there can ___.
    A．meet their enemies
    B．change their minds
    C．enjoy the professor’s speech
    D．learn how to quarrel with others
    小题4: If you are a member in Hart’ s workshop, you’ll ______.
    A．pay much money to Hart
    B．go to the workshop every night
    C．attend a gathering twice a month
    D．pour out everything stored in your mind
    小题5: The author wrote this passage in order to ________.
    A．persuade us to go to Hart’s workshop
    B．tell us the news about Hart’s workshop
    C．tell us how to run a workshop like Hart’s
    D．help us to look at various kinds of angers

    Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations．
    Love
    Love plays a pivotal role on our life．Love makes you feel wanted．Without love a person could go Hayward(不归路) and also become cruel and ferocious．In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad．But we always tend to take this for granted．It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings．Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better．

    Happiness and Sorrow
    Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment．Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow．Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.
    Failure and Success
    Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
    Hope and Despair
    Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well．Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
    Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

    Telephone, television, radio, telegraph and the Internet all help people communicate with each other. As a result, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a flood can bring help from distant countries within hours. Help is on the way. Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world, information travels fast.
    How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, one battle, or fight, in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now.
    There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.
    小题1:According to this passage, ________ is very important to people in a disaster area.
    A．transportationB．modern technologyC．latest newsD．a new idea
    小题2:From the passage we learn that ________.
    A．the world now seems smaller because of faster communication
    B．the world is actually smaller today
    C．the world is changing its size
    D．the distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812
    小题3:Two hundred years ago, news between the continents was carried _____.
    A．by telephone and telegraphB．by land C．by air D．by sea
    小题4:The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed ______.   
    A．by important peopleB．in 1812C．in AmericaD．in England

    At Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, the lights are controlled by sensors that measure sunlight. They dim immediately when it’s sunny and brighten when a passing cloud blocks the sun.
    A wall of windows at a University of Pennsylvania engineering building has built-in blinds (百叶窗) controlled by a computer program that follows the sun’s path. Buildings are getting smarter and the next generation of building materials is expected to do even more.
    Windows could catch the sun’s energy to heat water. Sensors that measure the carbon dioxide breathed out by people in a room could determine whether the air conditioning needs to be turned up.
    Many new materials and technology have been designed in the last 15 years. They are now being used in a wave of buildings designed to save as much energy as possible. They include old ideas, like “green roofs”, where a belt of plants on a roof helps the building keep heat in winter and stay cool in summer, and new ideas, like special coating for windows that lets light in, but keeps heat out.
    As technologies such as sensors become cheaper, their uses spread.
    The elevators (电梯) at Seven World Trade Center, which is under construction in New York, use a system that groups people traveling to nearby floors into the same elevator, thus saving elevator stops. People who work in the building will enter it by swiping (刷) ID cards that will tell the elevators their floor, readouts will then tell them which elevator to use. The building also has windows with a coating that blocks heat while letting in light.
    More new building materials and technology are in development. A Philadelphia building firm is now working on “smart wrap” that uses tiny solar collectors to catch the sun’s energy and transmitters (传输器) as wide as a human hair to move it. They are expected to change the face of the construction industry in the next ten years or so.
    小题1:________ will be developed and used in the construction industry.
    A．“Green roofs” that cool or heat buildings
    B．“Smart wrap” that catches the sun’s energy
    C．Sunlight-measuring sensors that control lights
    D．Window coating that lets light in, but keeps heat out
    小题2: The elevators at Seven World Trade Center are special because they can ________.
    A．send people to floors with fewer stops B．teach people how to use their ID cards
    C．make people stay very cool in summer D．help people go traveling in the building
    小题3: The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
    A．a human hairB．smart wrap C．the sun’s energyD．a transmitter
    小题4:What might be the most suitable title for the text?
    A．Buildings Are Becoming Smarter B．Buildings Are Getting More Sunlight
    C．Buildings Are Lacking in Much Energy D．Buildings Are Using Cheaper Materials
