Chinese students often complain about the difficulty of remembering English vocabulary. My suggestion is that you focus on reciting words that are often used in daily communication. Some students are working on memorizing the entire dictionary. That is a very difficult and boring ask. It could 38 your confidence in learning English and make the fun out of it.
Another point is that memorizing vocabulary should be related with daily reading. Remembering those words which you 39 use for a long time is difficult for many students. It is better to read some articles and books in English to enlarge your vocabulary and make it solid. One good 40 is to read newspapers and magazines, such as Times, China Daily, and 21 Century. In that way you can understand how to use the words and expressions 41 .
My final suggestion is to choose your 42 way of memorizing vocabulary. No matter which method you use, it helps if you keep in mind the important prefixes and suffixes.
IV. Complete the sentences with the given words in their proper forms. (用括号中所给单词的适当形式完成下列句子） (共8分）

The students have given Miss Chan the following:
Passage 1 Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland It is an interesting story about a girl named Alice, who follows the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole and finds herself in Wonderland. She not only finds the White Rabbit, but also meets other animals such as the Dormouse and the Caterpillar. During her adventure, Alice eats and drinks things that make her change in size. At last, Alice enters a garden, where she happens to see a trial (审判）. The Knave of Hearts is accused of (被指控）stealing the Queen of Hearts' tarts (甜馅饼）, while the King of Hearts is the judge. As Alice argues with the Queen, the Queen becomes angry with Alice and orders her men to kill Alice. In the end, Alice grows to a huge size and knocks over the playing cards. Suddenly, Alice wakes from her dream.
The classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll, an English author, was fantastic and entertaining. It took you to a world of fantasy. The entire storyline is so imaginative. Alice, with her pleasant personality is attractive. It is one of the classics needed to complete your bookshelf.

Passage 2 The Wonderful Wizard of Oz It is an interesting story about a girl named Dorothy, who is taken away from her home in , storm and finds herself in the land of Oz. Dorothy, together with her companions the Tin Woodman who wants a heart, the Scarecrow who wants a brain and the Cowardly Lion who wants courage, journeys in search of the wizard, in order to return home. After facing many difficulties they successfully meet the Great Oz, who in fact is not a wizard.

In the end, Dorothy finally gets .home to where her aunt and uncle live. They are very glad to see her safe and sound.
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, written by L. Frank Baum, is an enjoyable American lassie. What I loved most were Dorothy’s trustworthy friends, who were always there when Dorothy needed help. Dorothy is also loved by everyone for her sweetness and honesty. If you
lave not read it, why don’t you give yourself a treat?

A woman was at the airport waiting for her flight to start boarding. She still had a lot of time, so she went to a shop and bought a book to read. While she was in the shop, she decided to buy a bag of cookies as well.
She arrived at her gate, sat down and started reading her book. She read her book so attentively that she didn't notice what was going on around her. But she did see that a man had sat down next to her and taken one of her cookies out of the bag.
She pretended not to notice, as she didn't want to make a scene（当众大吵）. But then the man took more. He kept eating the cookies until there was just one left. The man took the last cookie and broke it in half. He tapped the woman on the shoulder and held out one half to her.
The woman could not believe how much nerve this man had to steal all of her cookies and then offer half a cookie in return. She angrily grabbed（夺取）the half-cookie out of his hand and ate it without any words.
Finally, it was time for her to board. As she went to the gate, she reached into her purse. Suddenly, she realized that her bag of cookies was still in her purse. The man had eaten his own cookies the whole time and simply wanted to share the last one with her. The woman's face turned red with shame. Therefore, she quickly caught up with him and said,"____80 ".
When we're not paying attention to the world around us, it can be easy to misunderstand what's happening or even become angry with others. It is better to keep our eyes open and think about every possibility when trying to understand a particular situation.

76. Why couldn’t the woman notice what happened around her at all?
77. What did the man do with the last cookie?

of Leonardo's inventions. And all these exhibits can be touched by visitors.
The museum’s founder, Gabriele Niccolai said, "When I was a kid. I remembered that the signs
told us not to touch anything in museums. That bothered me. I wanted to break that rule and create something. So kids could actually touch everything in that place"
So ten years ago, Niccolai opened the Leonardo da Vinci Museum. He and his father built the
first exhibits together.
Niccolai is proud that he is able to bring Leonardo’s inventions to life. He thinks Da Vinci would be proud to see his work being passed on in this way. "Kids should be curious. In that way,
they can be like Da Viuci, ' Niccolai said.
