1、A“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, youve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says youre a very successful l

2、earner indeed. Your English will be perfect.This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, youll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on

3、 our way to success in English. Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translati

4、on.56.In the writers opinion, the most effective way in learning English is _.A.to practise speaking, writing and feeling itB.to forget your own native languageC.to translate everything into his own languageD.to memorize the English words and grammatical rules57.“Instead of helping you, your own lan

It is only when we can not see perfectly that we come to see how im

7、portant our eyes are.People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.People who are farsighted face just th

8、e opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arms length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corr

9、ected by glasses. Some peoples eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the

10、 dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Me

11、n on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they can not see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensiti

12、ve as the sides of the eye after dark.59.We dont know that our eyes are of great importance until _.A. we think about our eyes B. we cannot see clearly C. we wear glasses D. we have to do much reading60.According to the passage, a _ is more likely to be nearsighted.A.tailor B. doctor C. guard D.pain

14、ook _ .A.with wide open eyes B.with half shut or narrowed eyesC.straight at it D.in a slightly different directionCTrees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things, they give him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.Unluckily, in many parts

15、of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most important. Man wants to make money from trees,so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new tree

16、s. So the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil-make the rain in-and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain

17、falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.63.The most important points of trees to man is _.A.they help him to make moneyB.they give him cool C.they give him wood and other thingsD.they h

20、otsDLaptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop comput

21、er program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a 10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the In

22、ternet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-fo

23、od restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology , laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers ca

24、n connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use com

25、puters. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “ Here we are in the middle of Virginia and were giving students a window on the world.

28、ologyB.travel around the worldC.get information from around the worldD.have free laptops71.What can we infer from the passage?A.The program is successful.B.The program is not workable.C.The program is too expensive.D.We dont know the result yet.ELet children learn to judge their own work. A child le

29、arning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other

30、peoples. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things: they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chan

31、ce to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, w

32、hat the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine(常规) work? Our job should

33、 be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know.72.According to the passage, the best way for children

36、sible75.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are _.A.different from learning other skillsB.the same as learning skillsC.more important than other skillsD.not really important skillsFSince we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on

37、 our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有压力的) conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong suppor

38、t systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people de

39、fend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of

40、 our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet ou

41、r social needs while at the same time distracting (转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support money aid, material resources, and needed services - that reduces stress by helping us resolve and deal with our problems.59.

46、ion of genealogical records in the world.

The church has been gathering family history records around the world for more than one hundred years

49、. The group urges (催促) its members to study the lives of early family members as a religious requirement.The Family History Library is open to the public every day except Sunday and some holidays.

50、popular places for visitors in Utah. About two thousand four hundred people use the library each day.Individuals, families and private groups have given some of their records to the library. The library bought other records from governments. All the information is gathered with the approval (批准) of

51、governments or officials who supervise (监督) the records.The library copies many records to a kind of film that can be read with special equipment. It is known as microfilm. The collection is always expanding. Today, Church representatives are making copies of important records around the world.Many

55、me job at a treatment center for young people. Twice a month, he travels three hours to another teenage treatment center.Last year, 5.4 percent of the American workforce held second jobs, according to the US Labor Department, and that looks set to increase this year.Many workers like the safety that

56、 moonlighting provides, says Carl Hausamn, the writer of Moonlighting: 148 Great Ways to Make Money to the Side.The information from the US Labor Department shows that 40 percent of US moonlighters in 1997 took a second job to meet household expenses or pay off debts. Others save money or buy some s

57、pecial things.People also take second jobs with an eye to the future - wanting to try out a new field or gain experience.Michel started moonlighting when medical systems were unstable (不稳定的). He wanted to make sure he wasnt tied to one system that ended up failing.Just as the purposes for moonlighti

58、ng vary, the moonlighters cross all age and racial groups. And they work in a variety of industries - no longer just service, office and sale jobs.“Technology just affects your ability to make money,” Hausman says. That makes a frequent change in moonlighting.As its name means, moonlighting still oc

59、curs mostly at night. And that results in some pressures. Chief among them is time.Full-time employers could misunderstand, too. Some companies do not allow after-hour work because they fear it will affect their employees 9-to-5 performance.The primary employer is saying, Wait, Im paying you for the sharp, fresh, energetic you,” says Tom Gimbel, president and founder of LaSalle Staffing in Chicago. If you re burning yourself at both ends, its going to show.Still, the good done to the moonlighters
