Ways to Improve Vocabulary in Just One Day
The average American has a vocabulary in the thousands. Try these tricks to make sure yours builds up.
Watch movies
“If you see the movie version of your favourite book you’re likely to have a deeper understanding and knowledge of the words in it,” says Neuman, professor of Childhood and Literacy Education at New York University. “Seeing and reading something on the same topic is really important.”
Read magazines
If you want to improve vocabulary, don’t just flip through your favourite magazine, really read it.
Listen to how words sound
Many people won’t remember tricky words unless they come across them frequently. But if you hear a word that you think sounds interesting, you become word conscious (有意识的) and start using it yourself, says Neuman.
Join a book club
“Book clubs are a wonderful strategy to learn new words,” says Neuman. Not only will it force you to set aside time in your day to read, but it’s also a good way to discover books you might not normally be drawn to.
Listen to the radio
Those types of programs can expose you to topics you may not be familiar with. Don’t miss these middle school vocabulary words adults still don’t know.
Pay attention to your surroundings
Next time walk down a busy street or take a walk in the park, try to describe what you’re seeing as much as possible inside your head.
Read, read, read
Even if you don’t stop to look up every single foreign word, chances are you can improve vocabulary simply by figuring out (想出) their meaning based on the context.
21. How many tricks mentioned above are through hearing
A. 1. B. 2. C. 3 D. 4.
22. According to the passage, how will you find some special and unusual books
A. By joining a book club. B. By listening to the radio.
C. By walking around. D. By watching movies.
23. Where does this passage probably come from
A. A sports magazine. B. A science report.
C. A website. D. A novel.
B
The introduction of the iPad, with its touch screen technology, has allowed even very young children to take advantage of a computer. So what if all children in the school were given an iPad to use in class and take home with them
Anne Laure Bazin works in a school where every child, teacher and teaching assistant is given a free iPad to use in and out of lessons. The main advantage of everyone having an iPad has been the improvement in communication. Documents can be emailed straight over to workmates during a meeting. Children hand in their homework by e-mail or through the school’s learning environment. Teachers now take the register using the iPad, which means that there is a centralized record of which children are in school, and which classroom they are in.
The use of iPads has encouraged greater sharing of resources among teachers. All communication with parents is now down by e-mail. Working as a group in class is much easier as children can share documents. The whole class can look at one child’s book by attaching the iPad to the whiteboard. Has forgotten the textbook. The teacher can take a photograph of the relevant and send it to the student in class.
While the use of the iPad in schools has revolutionized the way children are taught, it hasn’t completely replaced more traditional methods of teaching. Worksheets are still used in cross as some children prefer the contact. The children all have a textbook and exercise books. In Anne Laure’s school, Parents feared that the iPads would replace and the children would lose handwriting skills. Anne Laure says, “The teachers are not ready to let go of the traditional style
of teaching. We have welcomed the iPads in so much as they help communication and widen the resources that can be used. But we are not ready to let go of paper yet. The children themselves still value their exercise books and depend on them for revision.”
24．What can teachers do when everyone uses an iPad in school
A．They can have deep conversations with students.
B．They can have more time to prepare the lessons.
C．They can learn more about students’ activities at home.
D．They can communicate with their workmates more conveniently.
25．What is an advantage of using iPads in the classroom
A．It saves students bringing the textbooks.
B．It reduces parents’ worry about teaching.
C．It improves the relationship between teachers.
D．It makes sharing information easier.
26．What is parents’ attitude towards the use of iPads in the classroom
A．Worried. B．Uncaring. C．Annoyed. D．Positive.
27．What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A．Teachers prefer traditional methods of teaching.
B．The iPads won’t take the place of printed materials.
C．More and more schools are using iPads.
D．Exercise books are more valuable now.
C
Chinese high schools differ from American high schools in many ways.
The class structure (结构) is different. Students have each class in a different room with a different set of classmates in America, while Chinese students remain in the same classroom all day.
In addition to the structural difference, Chinese high schools also differ from American high schools in the college application process (大学申请过程) that students undergo.
In the United States, colleges use an application system that considers a student's high school grades, standardized test scores, after-school activities. teacher recommendations, and often a personal interview. Usually, the last few months of senior year has little work.
The Chinese college admission process is very different. College acceptance is depended on standardized examinations held once a year at the end of each school year. Although students take tests at the end of their first and second years of high school, the test that really matters is the exam taken at the end of their final year of high school.
The main way in which Chinese and American high schools differ is in the way information is taught.
In America, personal expression is valued heavily. Many classes are based on discussion of the material, and teachers expect students to join in this dialogue, so the classroom can become noisy. Classroom participation (参与), meaning how a student contributes to the class discussion, is an important part of a student's grade, so a student who works hard but never speaks up could receive a lower grade as a result.
Chinese classrooms do not place this same importance on classroom participation. Class is based on the teacher talking and the students listening quietly. Respect (尊敬) for teachers is far more important. When a student is asked to speak, he or she is expected to stand. This classroom is more formal and respectful. But it also means less communication between the teacher and students.
28．What is the class structure for students in America
A．They have one teacher. B．They study in the same classroom.
C．They have the same classmates. D．They have different classmates and classrooms.
29．What are paragraphs 4、5 mainly about
A．Different class structures.
B．The way information is taught.
C．How to get high marks in the final year of high school.
D．The differences of the college application process between America and China.
30．How can a student most probably get a high mark in an American class
A．By being noisy B．By being active in class discussion.
C．By having respect for teachers. D．By working hard and not speaking.
31．How does the author develop the text
A．By listing numbers. B．By following time order.
C．By presenting research findings. D．By comparing the differences.
D
It is often said the laughter is the best medicine. But researchers at the University of Oxford think the ability to belly laughs (捧腹大笑) was unique to early humans. This, they believe, made our ancestors (祖先) able to form much larger groups.
The researchers first tested the pain thresholds (临界值) of some volunteers. They divided them into two groups. One group was shown15 minutes of comedy videos, while the other was shown boring programs.
Through this experiment, the researchers found that those who had recently experienced belly laughs were able to withstand (忍受) up to10% more pain than they had done before watching the videos. To their surprise, the scientists also found that the other group was less able to with stand pain after watching 15 minutes of the “boring” programs.
Professor Robin Dunbar of Oxford University, who led the research, believed that belly laughs release chemicals called endorphins (安多芬) into the body which make us feel less painful.
However, not all comedy programs had such effects, according to Prof Dunbar. For example, though clever stand-up comedy was found to be enjoyable, it had no effect on raising pain thresholds.“Things that worked very well were interesting comedies such as Mr. Bean. Situation comedies such as Friends also seemed to be particularly successful,”he added.
In order to measure (测量) endorphin levels, the researchers put a bag of ice on the volunteers’ arms to see how long they could withstand them. They found that the greater the increase in pain thresholds, the greater the amount of endorphins produced.
The purpose of Prof Dunbar’s study was not to develop a new treatment. Instead, it was to study the role of laughter in the forming of human societies two million years ago.
“The next stage will be to see whether laughing really allows people to keep together and work as a group better and be more friendly towards each other. If that is the case, then it may explain why some two million years ago, the first humans were able to form large communities of up to 100,”Dunbar added.
32. Prof Dunbar’s study was to .
A. test the pain thresholds of humans
B. measure the endorphin levels while laughing
C. develop a new kind of medicine that reduces pain
D. explore the influence of laughter in forming human societies
33. In order to withstand more pain, we’d better .
A. watch some scary films B. watch some beautiful pictures
C. watch some boring programs D. watch some comedy videos
34. The meaning of the underlined word “release” in the passage may be
A. look out B. stand out C. find out D. give out
35. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. More experiments about laughter will be carried out.
B. Laughter makes people keep together and work as a group.
C. People who laugh a lot are more friendly towards each other.
D. The first humans could only form small communities less than 100.

The Guide to Keeping Your Dorm(宿舍) Room Clean
In most cases, students don’t like or have time to clean their dorm rooms. 36 As a result, everybody’s business is nobody’s business. Read through this guide to keeping your dorm room clean.
Have a cleaning routine(常规). With a cleaning routine in place, you will always tidy up your room at a particular time often. If you can, sweep up your room every day in the morning. You can also do it every other day. 37 Doing this can make the process harder during exam time. In addition, you can take turns cleaning if you have a roommate.
38 The quickest way of making a dorm room dirty and unorganized is to throw clothes everywhere. Never throw dirty clothes on the bed or the floor. They will quickly fill your room up. Rather, you should keep your dirty clothes in a basket and clean ones in your closet.
Have a study plan. Being a student does not mean living without a plan. Therefore, having a study plan helps you stay in control of your study life 39 As a result, you are better able to clean your room if your life is organized.
Avoid eating in your room. Food can easily cause a mess in a room. No matter how careful you are, you will drop a few parts of food in your room if you eat in it. Therefore, the best way of keeping your room clean is to avoid eating in it. 40

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了在Anne Laure Bain 工作的学校，每个人都有一部iPad，可以用它来学习，资源共享等等内容，讲述了iPad带给学生的便捷，并表示这种举动并不是完全放弃纸质和书籍。
24．细节理解题。由第二段中的“The main advantage of everyone having an iPad has been the improvement in communication. Documents can be emailed straight over to workmates during a meeting. (每个人都有iPad的主要优势是改善了沟通。会议期间，文件可以直接通过电子邮件发送给同事)”可知，当每个人都在学校使用iPad时，老师可以更方便地与同事沟通。故选D项。
25．细节理解题。由第三段中的“The use of iPads has encouraged greater sharing of resources among teachers. All communication with parents is now down by e-mail. Working as a group in class is much easier as children can share documents. (iPad的使用鼓励了教师之间更大程度的资源共享。所有与父母的沟通现在都通过电子邮件进行。因为孩子们可以共享文档，所以在课堂上小组合作要容易得多)”可知，在教室里使用iPad的优势是它使信息共享变得方便。故选D项。
26．推理判断题。由第四段中的“In Anne Laure’s school, Parents feared that the iPads would replace and the children would lose handwriting skills. (在安妮·劳尔的学校里，家长们担心iPad会被取代，孩子们会失去书写技能)”可知，家长们很担心（Worried）。故选A项。
27．主旨大意题。由第四段中的“While the use of the iPad in schools has revolutionized the way children are taught, it hasn’t completely replaced more traditional methods of teaching. (虽然iPad在学校的使用彻底改变了孩子们的教学方式，但它并没有完全取代更传统的教学方式)”，“The children all have a textbook and exercise books. (孩子们都有课本和练习本)”以及“The teachers are not ready to let go of the traditional style of teaching. We have welcomed the iPads in so much as they help communication and widen the resources that can be used. But we are not ready to let go of paper yet. The children themselves still value their exercise books and depend on them for revision. (老师们还没有准备好放弃传统的教学方式。我们非常欢迎iPad，因为它有助于沟通，拓宽了可使用的资源。但我们还没有准备好放弃纸。孩子们自己仍然珍视他们的练习本，并依赖它们来复习)”可知，最后一段主要是说 iPads在学校中的使用变革了儿童的教育方式，但它并没有完全取代更传统的教学方法，B项“iPads并没有完全取代传统的纸质教材”符合段落中心大意。故选B项。
28．D 29．D 30．B 31．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国的高中与美国的高中在很多方面的不同。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“The class structure(结构)is different. Students have each class in a different room with a different set of classmates in America, while Chinese students remain in the same classroom all day.(班级结构是不同的。在美国，学生们在不同的教室和不同的同学一起上课，而中国学生整天都呆在同一个教室里。)”可知，美国课堂结构是学生在不同的教室与不同的同学学习。故选D。
29．主旨大意题。根据第三段“In addition to the structural difference, Chinese high schools also
differ from American high schools in the college application process (大学申请过程) that students undergo.(除了结构上的差异，中国高中在学生申请大学的过程中也与美国高中不同。)”和第四段、第五段可知，第四段和第五段主要讲中美两国大学申请过程的不同。故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据第七段“In America, personal expression is valued heavily. Many classes are based on discussion of the material, and teachers expect students to join in this dialogue, so the classroom can become noisy. Classroom participation (参与), meaning how a student contributes to the class discussion, is an important part of a student's grade, so a student who works hard but never speaks up could receive a lower grade as a result.(在美国，个人表达是非常重要的。许多课程都是基于对材料的讨论，老师希望学生加入到这种对话中来，所以教室会变得嘈杂。课堂参与度，也就是学生对课堂讨论的参与程度，是学生成绩的重要组成部分，因此，一个努力学习但从不发言的学生可能会因此得到较低的分数。)”可推断，在美国课堂积极参与课堂讨论的同学最有可能得高分。故选B。
31．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Chinese high schools differ irom American high schools in many ways.(中国的高中与美国的高中在很多方面不同。)”可知，作者是通过对比中美两国高中差异来展开全文的。故选D。
