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 will become conscious(有意识的) of the word and start using it yourself，says Neuman.
Join a book club
“Joining book clubs is 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 listening to the radio. B．By watching movies.
C．By walking around. D．By joining a book club.
23．Where does this passage probably come from
A．Textbook. B．Science report.
C．Website. D．Novel.
B
Math had never been something I was good at since middle school.Classes became harder in high school，and I was even further from a math teacher’s dream student.So at the start of my freshman year，I had an aversion to math.It wasn’t that I didn’t want to do well，but simply that I didn’t think I was able to do well.“I can’t” became my state of mind in all things related to math.
However，I was soon to learn that “I can’t” was not a choice in Mr A’s class.
Mr A always greeted us with open arms as he said，“Welcome! Smile! It’s a great day to be alive！” It was clear that Mr A had a true passion(热情) not only for math but for teaching.If Mr A ever experienced bad days in life，he never showed it.Mr A greeted us with that same smile every day.He encouraged each student，from the top achiever to the “I can’t” student.
I found myself looking forward to math class，although I still hated the subject itself.Being in Mr A’s presence made me feel good，as if I had the chance to succeed.As the year progressed，I spent increasingly more time on my homework，and I met with Mr A weekly.My classmates began to do the same，and it became “cool” to have lunch and talk with Mr A．We didn’t know it at the time，but he was changing our attitudes.
Though my story is not one of overnight success and I didn’t become a straight-A math student，my hard work did begin to pay off and my grades slowly began to climb.There were hard times，of course.Difficult math questions sometimes succeeded in bringing me down，but Mr A kept reminding(提醒) me，“Kate，smile! It’s a great day to be alive！”
24．What does the underlined word “aversion” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Interest. B．Responsibility.
C．Dislike. D．Misunderstanding.
25．What first made the author look forward to math class
A．Mr A’s attitude.
B．Her interest in math.
C．Her friends’ encouragement.
D．The top achievers in her class.
26．How did the author feel about her talk over lunch with Mr A
A．It was straight. B．It was awkward.
C．It was challenging. D．It was impressive.
27．How did the author change in math
A．She made slow progress.
B．She fell in love with math.
C．She became a straight-A math student.
D．She became comfortable with difficult math questions.
C
Though many of us may have been away somewhere nice last summer，few would say that we’ve “summered”．“Summer” is clearly a noun—a verbed noun.
In our childhood，we all learned the difference between a noun and a verb.With such a clear definition，it was easy to notice the difference.Not so in adulthood，when we are expected to “foot” the bill and “chair” meetings.Chances are that you didn’t feel uncomfortable about those verbed nouns.
“The verbing of nouns is as old as the English language，” says Patricia，a former editor at The New York Times Book Review.Experts found that 20% of all English verbs were originally nouns.And it seems to be snowballing.Since 1900，about 40% of new verbs have come from nouns.
Even though the conversion(转化) is quite common，plenty of language experts disagree with it.William Strunk Jr.and E．B.White have this to say，“Many nouns lately have been pressed into service as verbs.Not all are bad，but some are in doubt.”The Chicago Manual of Style takes a similar standpoint，advising writers to use verbs with great care.
“Sometimes people dislike a new verb because they refuse to accept what is unfamiliar to them，” says Patricia.That’s why we’re comfortable with “hosting” a party，but we might feel upset by the thought of “medaling” in sports.So are there any rules for verbing Benjamin Dreyer，copy chief at Random House，doesn’t offer a rule，but suggests that people think twice about “verbifying”(使动词化) a noun if it’s easily replaced by an already existing popular verb.Make sure it’s descriptive but not silly-sounding，he says.
In the end，however，style is subjective(主观的)．The easy conversion of nouns to verbs has been part of English grammar for centuries.It is one of the processes that make English “English”．Not every new word passes into general use，but as for trying to end verbing altogether，forget it.
28．What can we learn about the verbing of nouns
A．It has come into use since a long time ago.
B．It has been supported by many language experts.
C．It is easily replaced by existing verbs in practice.
D．It is more commonly accepted by children than adults.
29．What is language experts’ attitude towards the verbing of nouns
A．Cold. B．Careful. C．Unclear. D．Positive.
30．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A．It is impossible to end the verbing of nouns.
B．New verbs will stay in the English language forever.
C．Most people are against using new verbs from nouns.
D．There is an obvious rule for changing verbs to nouns.
31．What can be the best title for the text
A．Are All New Verbs from Nouns
B．Are There Any Rules for Verbing
C．Are You Comfortable About a New Verb
D．Are “Summering” and “Medaling” Annoying
D
A new research shows human activity is changing the sound of the Earth’s oceans and seas.Scientists say the sound changes of our oceans，seas，and other waterways affect many marine(海洋的) animals—from very small shrimps to huge whales.
Sound travels very far underwater，Francis Juanes，an ecologist at the University of Victoria in Canada，told the Associated Press.For fish，he explained，sound is probably a better way to sense their environment than light.Sounds help fish and other marine animals survive and communicate with each other.Sounds also help some ocean animals find food and avoid their hunters.
However，increased noise from humans is making it harder for these animals to hear each other.The noise is coming from shipping traffic，underwater exploration，and other noisy human activities.For many marine animals，their attempts to communicate are being masked by sounds that humans have produced.Experts explain that masking happens when one or more noises in the water block sound important to a marine animal’s living.The overall number of marine animals has gone down by about half since 1970.Some studies show the stress from human noise might also affect the immune system as well as reproductive health or behavior.“Imagine having to raise your kids in a place that’s noisy all the time，” said Joe Roman，a marine ecologist at the University of Vermont.
When people think of problems facing the ocean，we often think of climate change，plastics，and overfishing.But noise pollution is another thing we need to be monitoring.“Sound pollution may be easier to deal with than other ocean problems，” scientist Juanes says.“If we make something for the ocean，think about how to make it quieter.”
32．Why is sound underwater important for ocean animals
A．It changes with light.
B．It helps them judge and contact.
C．It travels very fast.
D．It guides fishermen to find where they are.
33．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us
A．Underwater exploration must be stopped.
B．Kids exposed to noise can’t be healthy.
C．Human noise brings stress to marine animals.
D．Marine animals have got used to sound changes.
34．What is the author’s purpose of writing the text
A．To introduce the principle of sounds.
B．To draw attention to ocean noise.
C．To show the effects of human activities.
D．To share a method of studying oceans.
35．What will the author probably tell us in the following paragraph
A．How to protect marine animals.
B．What is the main cause of sea pollution.
C．How to keep the number of marine animals.
D．What to do to reduce sound pollution in the ocean.

I’m from Nova Scotia but moved to Prince Edward Island several years ago.All of my family is still in Nova Scotia.A little over a week before Christmas，my grandmother passed away.My boss kindly gave me time off to let me go home for the funeral(葬礼)．
There are two ways off Prince Edward Island：a bridge to a neighboring area，or a ship directly to Nova Scotia.Taking the ship shortened the trip，but it stopped running on the 22nd.I planned to leave on the 20th so I could get home in time to help my mom with the funeral preparations.

I called roadside assistance(道路援救)，and then the place that serviced my car.They have one appointment(预约) open for three thirty in the afternoon.I took it.Even though it meant that not only would I miss the ship I booked，but also probably the following one，which was the very last one of the season.I would have to take the bridge.After a cold wait for assistance，I was making the trip back to the city where I lived.
I went to my service center early so that they could spare me a few minutes.As I parked，I discovered that the drink I bought for my way home spilled(洒) onto my passenger seat.Taking some paper towels，I hurried to wipe it clean.I didn’t realize that my door was now lightly touching the car next to mine.The owner ran up to me and started shouting.
I tried to apologize(道歉) but he kept shouting.And then I burst into tears because it was really a hard day.

第一节 参考范文
Have a Wonderful School Life
With exchange students becoming new members，our school has taken on a new look.However，they are facing a number of challenges，like feeling lonely，worrying about schoolwork and being unfamiliar with campus.
As the chairman of the Students’ Union，I’d like to give some suggestions.To overcome the difficulties，on the one hand，it would be better for exchange students to make friends with their Chinese classmates and sign up for some school communities，so that they will get used to the new environment.On the other hand，Chinese Salon is a good place for them to visit in their spare time.
We do hope every exchange student can lead a fantastic and wonderful life in our school.
第二节 参考范文
I don’t remember exactly what I said anymore.But I remember saying that I was trying to go home for my grandmother’s funeral，and that I had a flat tire and missed the ship.He got really quiet after that，apologizing and saying he was just frightened，because he borrowed the car.He asked when the last ship was.I told him.We went in together and he asked the lady at the service desk if they could exchange our appointments，because I had to leave as soon as possible.I thanked him and sat down to wait.They hurried，and I had a new tire half an hour later.
And because of the appointment exchange，I was able to catch the very last ship of the season.I never knew the man’s name，but because of him，I got home in time to help my mom.So，to the stranger who showed me kindness，and the people at the service center who helped settle my problem quickly：thank you.You made a hard day and a hard Christmas a lot easier，for both me and my family.
