How to Improve Vocabulary Fast

Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. We should learn some ways to expand it.

Read every day. 1. Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.

2. If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.

Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.

Elaborate（闡釋）on the meaning of the word. Use imagery and personal relevance. If you have just learned the word “stubborn”, think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car. 3.

Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow. 4. But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.

Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is. 5. The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.

A. Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.

B. Your vocabulary contains the words you understand.

C. The vocabulary can be increased.

D. Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as “stubborn in his refusal”.

E. The first time you use a new word in speech, it may seem clumsy and forced.

F. Find a new word every day

G. The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow.

Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don‘t agree with them.

Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources， we are short of others， for example， fresh water. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources， what can we use in the future and where can we move？ Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

In our everyday life， we can do many things to prevent waste from happening， for example， turn off the water taps when we finish washing， turn off the lights when we leave the classroom， try not to order more food than we need， and so on. Little by little， everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day， if we do our best.

1. From the passage we know that some students often _______ in the school.

A. eat too much B. don‘t work hard

C. waste things D. throw rubbish everywhere

2.What may happen in 100 years？

A. We may still have enough oil.

B. We may still have enough coal.

C. We may have a little oil

D. We may have no coal or oil to use.

3.Which of the following is right？

A. Waste brings problems.

B. Waste can bring no problem.

C. China is rich in fresh water.

D. Students never waste things.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015-2016學年河南許昌四校高二上學期第三次聯(lián)考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

The chimp didn’t feel well. She fell over, ignoring the other wild chimps. Finally, the sick chimp crawled over to a bush, picked some leaves and swallowed them. By the next afternoon, the chimp was as good as new!

Biologists watching the chimp were surprised. Somehow, the plant had cured the chimp! Did the chimp know the plant would make her feel better? Or was it just a lucky accident?

Many scientists don’t think it has anything to do with luck. They’re discovering that some animals seem to use plants to cure themselves. And these animals are leading scientists to new plants that could cure humans!

Dr. Richard Wrangham, an anthropologist at Harvard University, agrees that animals may know something we don’t know about forest plants.

Wrangham got to know chimps and their diets while studying them for three years in Tanzania. “You must know a lot about an animal’s feeding habits to know what it doesn’t consider food,” Wrangham explains. Every morning, he saw that most chimps ate fruit near their nests. Later on, they ate on leaves.

When he noticed chimps eating the leaves of a plant they usually ignored, Wrangham thought something interesting was going on---especially when he saw that they’d sometimes walk for 20 minutes to find the plant. Another strange thing that caught his eye was how they ate the bitter leaves.

“They swallowed the leaves whole,” explains Wrangham, noting that chimps usually chew their food well. “They seemed to rub（摩擦）the leaves around the roofs of their mouths. They closed their eyes, wrinkled their noses and swallowed slowly. ”

Wrangham wondered what could be so good about something tasting so bad. He had a chemist analyze the leaves. He discovered that the leaves contain a red oil that kills different viruses（病毒）. Later tests showed that the oil might even fight cancer and the AIDS virus!

Why don’t the chimps chew the leaves? “Rubbing the leaves between the tongue and the inside of the mouth might allow the chemicals to enter the bloodstream directly,” he suggests, “instead of going to the stomach, where they might get destroyed by acids. The chimps seem to know what they’re doing.”

1.We can learn from the passage that _________.

A. chimps cure themselves by chewing plants

B. chemicals in plants help cure animals

C. scientists live with chimps to study their diets

D. Dr. Wrangham knows a lot about forest plants

2.How can Dr. Wrangham tell which plants are medicine for chimps?

A. By talking with the biologists.

B.. By studying the chimps’ feeding habits.

C. By analyzing the chimps’ favorite food.

D. By comparing other scientists’ discoveries.

3.The author wrote the passage to ___________.

A. provide a solution B. test a theory

C. present a finding D. describe an experiment

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Animal doctors. B. Forest plants.

C. Chimp’s diets. D. A cure for cancer.
