         Singing songs is fun,but is it also useful? For learning English pronunciation (發(fā)音) ，Mr Joe thinks songs are the most useful way to learn. At the same time ? you can learn some new words and phrases while singing songs. Mr Joe has used songs to help himself learn French ? Spanish ? Japanese and Chinese. You should do the same.

         Some words used in songs are not everyday English ? so you have to be careful how you use song lyrics (歌詞) when you speak. Most words and sentences are very useful.

         If you become good at singing English songs ? you can try to go to karaoke and sing with your friends. When you are able to sing a song in another language ? even if you don11 sing so beautifully,you will really impress (給......深刻印象) other people!

Ⅱ.閱讀理解閱讀下面的短文，然后從各題所給的四個選項中選出一個最佳選項。

      You will have a lot of reading to do in this grade of year. You can do more of it in less time if you learn to read fast.

      Perhaps you have been told about some habits which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have.

      Do you still have any of these bad habits? Check yourself by answering “yes” or “no” to these questions.

(1 ) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?

(2) Do you point to words with your finger (手指) as you read?

(3) Do you move your head from side to side as you read?

(4) Do you read one word at a time?

      If you answer “yes” to any of these questions,start at once to break the habit. If you move your lips ? hold your fingers over them ? or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then if your lips move ? you will know it and can stop them.

      If you point to words ? hold the two sides of your book ? one side with your left hand ? the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head,place your chin (下巴) in one hand and hold your head still (靜止不動的) .

      If you read no more than one or two words at a time,you need to work very hard in learning to take in more words at each glance (—瞥) as your eyes travel across the lines of words.

      Even if you do rather fast now ? you can learn to read even faster. As you probably have been told ? the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read in thought groups and force (迫使) your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practises doing these things will be able to read faster.

) 1. You may hold your fingers over your lips while reading so as .

   A. to tell others to be silent

   B. to feel whether your lips move or not

   C. to hold a piece of paper between them

   D. to keep yourself from talking to others

   A. don ’ t keep your head still

   B. don ’ t hold your books with your hands

                                                 C 

      Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population,which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly,the limited energy resources will be used up much faster. Secondly,the increasing population creates more pollution,another severe problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their result slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However ? a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology,cars make transportation easier and quicker than before ? but we can ’t ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example,we are consuming gasoline,which is a non-renewable resource,and will soon be gone. Moreover,the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air,and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution,which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can consider walking,taking buses,carpooling (合用汽車) ，instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that can ’ t be so effective if a single person takes it. But,when more and more people become aware of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities ? the condition of the air will be improved to a great extent.

() l. According to the writer,the main problem to our environment today is .

   A. the increase of population   B. the limited energy resources

   C. the more serious air pollution   D. the development of technology

() 2. From the passage,we can know that .

   A. effective measures can be taken mainly by the government

   B. taking measures now can soon improve the environment

   C. immediate measures can cause great suffering and social problems

   D. every single person’s action has some effect on environmental protection

() 3. The author,s main purpose in writing this passage is most probably to .

   A. complain about people’s slow actions to protect the environment

   B. advise people to take actions to protect the environment

   C. show himself to be an active environmental protector

   D. point out the bad effects of technologies in protecting the environment

() 4. Because of the serious pollution,people can consider .

   A. walking   B. taking buses

   C. carpooling   D. all of the above

() 5. The passage is mainly about .

   A. energy resources saving   B. environmental protection

        American people often shop from catalogs. There are special catalogs for almost every need—including clothing? furniture,health and beauty products,and things for the kitchen.

They just turn on a TV shopping channel,find something they want,make a telephone call and pay for it by credit card. TV shopping channels are on late at night,so people can shop at any time.
