Language-learners who say they never or hardly ever use 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 ones who look up every new word do not read fast. So 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 translations (翻譯) 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 edition 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. 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 (音節(jié)), they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.
小題1:Students who never use dictionary speak well but write poor, because_______
A．They can’t remember words.
B．They may make mistakes.
C．They are not interested in writing.

A．Students who never use dictionary can speak well and write well.
B．Whatever new words you meet while reading, just look them up in the dictionary.

D．An English word only has one translation.
小題3:When does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary in reading?
A．At the beginning of the reading
B．At the end of the reading
C．During the first reading
D．After the first reading

From the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations, human beings have been putting great effort into space research. And so far, we have achieved many successes. But there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not stop trying to progress.
The international space station (ISS) is an important step we should take in space exploration. It is not only helpful but also essential. It provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. It is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. It could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and Mars. In a word, if we want to explore space more, the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.
As the space station costs a lot of money, it is hard for one country alone to establish one. The USA seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone，and it has tried to do so, but not very successful. So it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. Though it is still extremely expensive, it is much cheaper than doing it alone. It is really a job that needs everyone’s effort and will benefit everyone.
Led by the U.S. and Russia, the ISS is a joint project between six space agencies involving 16 countries. Called the greatest achievement in human cooperation, the ISS has come to the end of a ten-year’s hard work in construction. China has applied for participation in (taking part in) the project many times. Unfortunately all the applications were rejected, which drove China onto the path of independent development. As the Long March Ⅱ-F/T1 carrier rocket blasted off (leave the ground) and successfully carried the Tiangong-1 into space on September 29, 2011, China takes a big step toward its Space Station Era.
Some West media suggested that the successful launch of Tiangong-1 would disturb the balance of global space power, raising concerns (關(guān)注) about “China threat”. China’s space project is not designed for military (軍事的) purpose but for developing space technology to explore space resources and make use of them for mankind’s well-being.
小題1:From Paragraph 2 we learn that ________.
A．the necessity of building the international space station is not realized now
B．many experiments have been done in the international space station
C．the international space station is necessary for people to explore space more
D．people have traveled to Mars from the international space station
小題2:Which of the following is NOT a reason for countries’ cooperation in building the international space station?
A．That it requires a lot of money.
B．That it needs everyone’s effort.
C．That it will benefit every participating country.
D．That it is too far away from the earth.
小題3:The underlined word “aggregated” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “________”．
A．unitedB．scoldedC．a(chǎn)llowedD．forbade
小題4:China wants to build its space station in order to __________.
A．break the balance of global space power
B．show that China can build space station alone
C．raise international concerns about “China threat”
D．make use of space peacefully for mankind’s well-being

Due to climate change, Arctic ice is breaking up earlier in the spring, and its area is decreasing. This is creating problems for polar bears that make their homes off northern Alaska and in Hudson Bay.
Polar bears off Alaska normally hunt and raise their young on ice sheets that float on the ocean. But as the ice has melted, the polar bears have been forced to spend more time on land. There, they have begun to frequent beaches, feeding on the remains of whales caught by native hunters. For polar bears, this food is less nutritious than seals that they normally catch on ice sheets. The shrinking（減少） ice has also forced more polar bears into the ocean. In the past, they only had to swim short distances between ice sheets. But as the ice has shrunk, polar bears have been forced to swim longer and longer distances in the open ocean. This poses a severe danger during rough weather, and an increasing number of drowned polar bears have been observed.
In Hudson Bay, the ice breaks up three weeks earlier in the spring now than it did 20 years ago. Polar bears on Hudson Bay fast（絕食） during the summer, waiting for ice to form in the fall to hunt. Every year, the summer gets longer, and the bears get skinnier. Over the past 25 years, the average weight of the female bears has dropped 68 kg. This loss affects their ability to reproduce, and already the number of births has dropped 15 percent. Unless the bears can learn to survive these climate changes, these giants of the ice may one day disappear.
小題1:What is Arctic ice doing earlier each year?
A．It’s freezing.B．It’s hardening.
C．It’s melting.D．It’s expanding.
小題2:What is true of polar bears that are spending more time on land in Alaska?
A．Their young are dying.
B．Their diet is changing.
C．Their health is improving.
D．Their families are growing.
小題3:What do polar bears in Hudson Bay do during the summer?
A．They claim territory(地域).B．They protect mates.
C．They hunt animals.D．They stop feeding
小題4:In which publication would you most likely find this passage?
A．Medical NewsB．Society TodayC．Wildlife JournalD．Design Magazine

In 2006, the UK government started to allow universities in England and Wales to charge British students tuition fees. More than 80 percent of students in England and Wales now take out a student loan in order to go to university. They use the loan (貸款)  to pay for tuition fees, books and living expenses. Although the interest on student loans is quite low, it begins as soon as the student receives the loan. The average student in England and Wales now graduates from university with debts of around £12,000. Students of medicine usually have debts of more than £20,000. That is a lot of money. It means graduates cannot afford to buy a house for many years. They even struggle to pay rent on a flat, because they have to start paying back the student loan after graduating. If you start to earn over £15,000 a year, the government takes repayments directly from your monthly salary. Is it any surprise, therefore, that the average British person does not leave their parents’ home until they are 30 years old?
You might think that a British person with a degree will find it easy to get a well-paid job. However, most people in white-collar jobs seem to have a degree these days, so there is a lot of competition. Also, British companies tend to value work experience over a piece of paper. Like everyone else, graduates usually have to start at the bottom and work their way up. That can be very frustrating for them, since they are often over-qualified for the work they are doing. While at university, they have dreams of getting an exciting, challenging job. Therefore, life after university ends up being quite disappointing for a lot of graduates.
All of the above is beginning to make British people question whether a university degree is really worth the money.
小題1:What's the best title of this passage?
A．What's a University Education worth in the UK?
B．There is a lot of competition in the UK
C．There won't be any University Place left for British students
D．It doesn't cost students more and more to attend university
小題2:What's the following is true?  
A．University Education is really worth the money in England
B．University Education is worth all over the world except in England
C．British education is becoming more expensive for a majority of British students
D．British students don't like to go to university
小題3:We can infer from the passage ____
A．The average British person didn't leave their parents' home until they are
35 years old
B．Having a degree doesn't get aBritish person a good job
C．Students are graduating without larger and larger debts.
D．things are easier for students from other countries coming to study
in the UK without money
小題4:The word "interest" in paragraph2 means_______
A． money paid for a week's work

Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.
“I’ll be the first millionaire in Coleford!” Richard used to boast.
“And you’ll be sorry that you knew me,” George would reply “because I’ll surely be the best lawyer in our town!”
After graduation, George never became a lawyer and Richard was anybody but a millionaire …. Instead, it happened that both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street, while it was hard to make much money from books then, which made the competition between them worse. Eventually, Richard closed down his, dreaming of making a fortune elsewhere. 
Now, with only one bookshop in the town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his former rival (競爭對手)。Perhaps he missed him?

When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was quite delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished — the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading: “Bookends Company has bought ten bookstores from its competitors. The company, owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in this country.”

A new reading tool was put on the market this week for the two-to five-year-old set. It is sold for at least $389, an expensive purchase for a kid – and that doesn’t even include a $99 annual subscription (訂閱) fee for games, e-books, and age-appropriate software.
That might be fine for parents willing and able to pay thousands for private nursery schools, but will the tool actually help kids learn language and reading skills more effectively than traditional books?
Probably not, said Dr. Michael Rich, director of the Center for Media and Child Health at Children’s Hospital Boston. “There is a sensory components (感官因素) to books that isn’t there with e-books,” he explained. “You can smell it, turn the pages, and taste it, as young kids are likely to do.”
That might help little ones become more familiar with the books, helping them learn from them, but far more important is whether a person is actually sitting with them while they’re looking at the pages.
Researchers have shown time and again that kids learn better when they’re having interaction (互動) with real people, rather than electronic voices reading to them from a computer or speaking to them from the TV.
A Georgetown University study found that kids who learned to put on gloves from watching a video took six times as long to learn the process as those who watched it shown by an adult standing in front of them.
“I’m a big believer in teaching kids to live in the digital society and use what the rest of the family uses, but they do need to be supervised,” said Dr. Gwenn O’Keeffe, a Boston-based children’s doctor and spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics. “We don’t recommend that young kids use any type of technology for very long since they have the attention span (注意力持續(xù)時間) of a butterfly.”
小題1:According to the text, the new tool        .
A．is mainly used to entertain kids
B．can be accepted by most families
C．is designed for preschool kids
D．can download games for free
小題2:Why is Dr. Michael Rich against the new tool?
A．Because it doesn’t really involve many of the senses.
B．Because it does great harm to kids’ eyesight.
C．Because kids can’t communicate with it.
D．Because traditional books are cheaper.
小題3:The study mentioned in Paragraph 6 aims to        .
A．show the disadvantage of kids’ watching videos
B．prove the importance of interaction with people
C．a(chǎn)sk parents to teach their kids to learn
D．prove using e-books saves much time
小題4:The underlined word “supervised” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “     ”.
A．punishedB．watchedC．encouragedD．understood
小題5:What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To introduce a new electronic device.
B．To teach kids how to live in a digital world.
C．To show parents how to help kids gain knowledge.
D．To throw new light on kids’ use of electronic tools.

More than a hundred adults and kids gather for the Star Party on a cold evening, chattering excitedly as they stand in the dark on a Virginia hillside. The odd thing is, no one has turned on a flashlight, and no streetlights or house lights wink(閃爍) on around them.
These people have traveled to the countryside more than an hour from Washington, D. C., to get away from the glow of city lights.  That's because they are attending a star party. Star parties are gatherings where professional and amateur astronomers set up their telescopes and invite people to come learn about the night sky. Getting away from light pollution, or artificial skylight from buildings for example,  helps stargazers (看星星的人) see objects in the sky much better.
At this star party, Sean O'Brien of the National Air and Space Museum’s Einstein Planetarium starts off by asking the crowd to simply look up and take in all they can see. He points out plenty of things that can be seen without special equipment. Stars, satellites, and even the Andromeda galaxy(仙女座) can be found if you know where to look.
After that, several dozen astronomers offer close-up views. Each has focused their telescope on a different part of the sky. As kids take a look, the owner gives a mini-lesson.
O’Brien says you can have your own star party at home and learn a lot just by paying attention to what's happening up above. "Watch the sky as the seasons pass, and you will see that it changes," he says. "Or start with the moon. Notice when and where you are seeing it—maybe even in the early morning while you wait for the school bus. "
小題1:What was it special about the Star Party ?
A．It was organized by the local authority.
B．It was carried out without any lights.
C．It was so cold that people chatted to cheer up.
D．It was held in the town center of Virginia
小題2:According to the passage, who were involved in the activity ?
a. some invited guests
b. some government officials
c. some experts in astronomy
d. those who were interested in astronomy
e. students who were major in agriculture
A．a(chǎn), c, dB．a(chǎn), d, eC．b, d, eD．c, d, e
小題3:From the passage, we can infer that if you want to see the objects in the sky            .
A．you'd better escape from pollution and sunlight
B．you'd better follow Sean O'Brien's guidance
C．you'd better buy some advanced equipment
D．you'd better make use of your imagination
小題4:Which of the following can be best describe what O'Brien says about discovering the stars'?
A．Roman is not built in a day.
B．No pains, no gains.
C．All roads lead to Roman.
D．Time and tide wait for no man.

A new study done by the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario （HEQCO） shows that it doesn't make much of a difference that parents reward their children with cash for their better marks.
Many parents have offered cash to their children in the hope that it would improve marks and possibly raise their children's interest in achieving higher marks．
The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Toronto （UT） and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT） to learn more about the potential for financial encouragement as motivation for improved marks, involved first and second year students receiving financial aid in 2008-2009 at the University of Toronto Scarborough．
The top students participating in the study who said they were "very concerned" about having enough money to complete their degrees were to receive $100 for getting a grade of 70 per cent for each one-semester course, plus $20 for every percentage point beyond that．It was imaginable that a student could earn as much as $700 for achieving 100 percent in a course．
Harvey Weingarten, president and CEO of HEQCO said, "In its efforts to help disadvantaged students by exploring the idea of paying them to attend school, the Toronto District School Board （TDSB） is asking the same question many other districts are asking about how to improve student participation and performance．Our study and others to date indicate that this practice has little effect if any in those situations where it has been tested．"
The authors of the study suggest that ineffective study habits may be a barrier to academic achievement and that the real problem may be more a lack of academic preparation than a lack of effort or motivation．They note that the availability of peer （同伴） advising does not appear to have helped greatly．They conclude that other potential avenues to improving performance, or other approaches of teaching, are needed at the high school and postsecondary levels．
小題1:If a student gets a grade of 85% in a course, he will get _____．
A．$100B．$300C．$400D．$700
小題2:The underlined words "this practice" in Paragraph 5 refer to _____．
A．improving student participation
B．seeking help from different districts
C．paying disadvantaged students to attend school
D．testing student performance in the same district
小題3:The real problem with student participation and performance is most probably a lack of____．
A．a(chǎn)cademic preparationB．effort or motivation
C．teaching methodsD．peer advising
小題4:What is mainly discussed in the passage?
A．Many parents have offered cash to their children．
B．Many first and second year students receive financial aid．
C．Ineffective study habits lead to poor academic achievement．
D．Rewarding students with cash for good grades has little effect
