Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often 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 one 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 a translation 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 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(上下文). 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, or divide it into syllables (音节), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form or a verb might have an un- usual past form, they check these in a dictionary.The writer ends to (倾向) think that ________. choose a good dictionary, and you’ll succeed in learning English dictionaries are not very necessary to the students who learn English it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly using dictionaries very often can’t help to improve writing

Where does this interview take place?M: Good morning, this is Allen broadcasting from university radio. In the local news this morning, the mountain-lake cycle tour is about to begin, and in the studio, we have with us Marilen O’conner, president of the Ottawa bicycle club, the tour’s sponsor Can you tell us what the tour’s all about? W: Well, Allen, the mountain-lake cycle tour is a bicycle tour from Ottawa to Kingston and hack. It is not a race, but more like an endurance test for recreational cyclists. People do it for fitness and fun and try to better their time every year. M: How long will it take to cycle one-way, Marilen? W: About seven to nine hours for the average cyclists. Racers can do it in four hours. But I said, the tour is not intended to be a race. M: How many people will be taking part this year? W: This is our biggest year ever. We have twelve hundred cyclists registered. M: I bet they’ll block the road when the cyclists start out? W: Don’t worry; we’ve introduced staggered starts to avoid these problems. Our first group will leave Ottawa at seven o’clock, and other groups will follow every twenty minutes. M: Thank you. Marilen, Now down to the starting line of the university. In the radio studio. In the bicycle shop. On the road.

No nation leaped into the 20th century like Japan. For two hundred years, Japan remained and isolated from the rest of the world. It doubted of western ways. In 1854, Commodore Perry of the U. S. Navy sailed into Tokyo Bay. When he showed the people inventions like the telegraph and railroad train, Japan realized what it was missing. Japan has quickly caught up with western technology. It may have even gone past it. Japan has a population of over 116,000,000. The people are thickly settled on the four main islands. Since only one sixth of the land is arable, Japan relies on imported food. To pay for the imports, Japan exports manufactured goods. Japan builds and sells cars, motorcycles, television sets, radios and cameras. Textiles and chemicals also made. In Yokohama Harbor, ships are constructed for use by other nations. The “head start“ western nations had may be the reason for Japan’s success today. Western countries are still using machines and technology that they developed many years ago. Japan is using newer, improved methods. For example, robots are relieving factory-workers of long, tiring jobs. Modem technology has brought modern problems. Air and water quality reached dangerous levels in some parts of Japan in the late 1960’s. Since then, the Japanese government has applied strong pollution controls.The main idea of the passage is that Japan ________. surprises the world. Suffers from serious air and water pollution Leads in exporting goods Leads in technology in the world today

The problem of names and faces was put to an experimental test in people to be studied in 1934 by an American scientist, H.M. Clarke. He showed his subjects (试验对象)a page containing photographs of the faces of twelve men and, under each photograph, there was a name. The subjects had three minutes in which to study these names and faces by whatever method they would usually use in learning the names of real people. Three minutes later, remembering was tested in four different ways. The original names had to be recognized when mixed up with a number of “new“ names; the original faces had to recognize from “new“ faces; the original faces were shown and the suitable names had to be recalled; and the original names were shown and the corresponding(相对应的) faces recalled. Nearly 500 college students acted as subjects in this experiment and the results were clear. It was easier to recall recognize names than to them, but it was as easy to recognize names as to recognize faces. If either names or faces were recalled, the remembering performance was not as good as the involving recognition. Thus, from the examples given above, the difference between recalling and recognition should be clear.What the American scientist did was to test ________. recognition remembering the ability of people to learn the names the ability of people to recognize faces

PALO ALTO, California--“ Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter--even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise,“ US researchers said last week. A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds(0.91kg)less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet. “The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,“ said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician(儿科专家) at Stanford University. “American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years.“ Robinson said. In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise. “One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories,“ Robinson said. “Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,“ Robinson said.The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that ________. children will get fatter if they eat too much children will get thinner if they eat less children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TV children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV
