Try these tricks to make sure yours builds up. Watch movies “If you see the movie version of your favourite book you’re likely to have a deeper understanding and knowledge of the words in it,” says Neuman, professor of Childhood and Literacy Education at New York University. “Seeing and reading something on the same topic is really important.” Read magazines If you want to improve vocabulary, don’t just flip through your favourite magazine, really read it. Listen to how words sound Many people won’t remember tricky words unless they come across them frequently. But if you hear a word that you think sounds interesting, you become word conscious (有意识的) and start using it yourself, says Neuman. Join a book club “Book clubs are a wonderful strategy to learn new words” says Neuman. Not only will it force you to set aside time in your day to read, but it’s also a good way to discover books you might not normally be drawn to. Listen to the radio Those types of programs can expose you to topics you may not be familiar with. Don’t miss these middle school vocabulary words adults still don’t know. Pay attention to your surroundings Next time walk down a busy street or take a walk in the park, try to describe what you’re seeing as much as possible inside your head. Read, read, read Even if you don’t stop to look up every single foreign word, chances are you can improve vocabulary simply by figuring out (想出) their meaning based on the context. 21. How many tricks mentioned above are through hearing? A. 1. B. 2. C. 3 D. 4. 22. According to the passage, how will you find some special and unusual books? A. By joining a book club. B. By listening to the radio. C. By walking around. D. By watching movies. 23. Where does this passage probably come from? A. A sports magazine. B. A science report. C. A website. D. A novel. B The introduction of the iPad, with its touch screen technology, has allowed even very young children to take advantage of a computer. So what if all children in the school were given an iPad to use in class and take home with them? Anne Laure Bazin works in a school where every child, teacher and teaching assistant is given a free iPad to use in and out of lessons. The main advantage of everyone having an iPad has been the improvement in communication. Documents can be emailed straight over to workmates during a meeting. Children hand in their homework by e-mail or through the school’s learning environment. Teachers now take the register using the iPad, which means that there is a centralized record of which children are in school, and which classroom they are in. The use of iPads has encouraged greater sharing of resources among teachers. All communication with parents is now done by e-mail. Working as a group in class is much easier as children can share documents. The whole class can look at one child’s book by attaching the iPad to the whiteboard. Has forgotten the textbook. The teacher can take a photograph of the relevant and send it to the student in class. While the use of the iPad in schools has revolutionized the way children are taught, it hasn’t completely replaced more traditional methods of teaching. Worksheets are still used in class as some children prefer the contact. The children all have a textbook and exercise books. In Anne Laure’s school, Parents feared that the iPads would replace and the children would lose handwriting skills. Anne Laure says, “The teachers are not ready to let go of the traditional style of teaching. We have welcomed the iPads in so much as they help communication and widen the resources that can be used. But we are not ready to let go of paper yet. The children themselves still value their exercise books and depend on them for revision.” 24. What can teachers do when everyone uses an iPad in school? A. They can have deep conversations with students. B. They can have more time to prepare the lessons. C. They can learn more about students’ activities at home. D. They can communicate with their workmates more conveniently. 25. What is an advantage of using iPads in the classroom? A. It saves students bringing the textbooks. B. It reduces parents’ worry about teaching. C. It improves the relationship between teachers. D. It makes sharing information easier. 26. What is parents’ attitude towards the use of iPads in the classroom? A. Worried. B. Uncaring. C. Annoyed. D. Positive. 27. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Teachers prefer traditional methods of teaching. B. The iPads won’t take the place of printed materials. C. More and more schools are using iPads. D. Exercise books are more valuable now. C Chinese high schools differ from American high schools in many ways. The class structure (结构) is different. Students have each class in a different room with a different set of classmates in America, while Chinese students remain in the same classroom all day. In addition to the structural difference, Chinese high schools also differ from American high schools in the college application process (大学申请过程) that students undergo. In the United States, colleges use an application system that considers a student's high school grades, standardized test scores, after-school activities. teacher recommendations, and often a personal interview. Usually, the last few months of senior year has little work. The Chinese college admission process is very different. College acceptance is depended on standardized examinations held once a year at the end of each school year. Although students take tests at the end of their first and second years of high school, the test that really matters is the exam taken at the end of their final year of high school. The main way in which Chinese and American high schools differ is in the way information is taught. In America, personal expression is valued heavily. Many classes are based on discussion of the material, and teachers expect students to join in this dialogue, so the classroom can become noisy. Classroom participation (参与), meaning how a student contributes to the class discussion, is an important part of a student's grade, so a student who works hard but never speaks up could receive a lower grade as a result. Chinese classrooms do not place this same importance on classroom participation. Class is based on the teacher talking and the students listening quietly. Respect (尊敬) for teachers is far more important. When a student is asked to speak, he or she is expected to stand. This classroom is more formal and respectful. But it also means less communication between the teacher and students. 28. What is the class structure for students in America? A. They have one teacher. B. They study in the same classroom. C. They have the same classmates. D. They have different classmates and classrooms. 29. What are paragraphs 4、5 mainly about? A. Different class structures. B. The way information is taught. C. How to get high marks in the final year of high school. D. The differences of the college application process between America and China. 30. How can a student most probably get a high mark in an American class? A. By being noisy B. By being active in class discussion. C. By having respect for teachers. D. By working hard and not speaking. 31. How does the author develop the text? A. By listing numbers. B. By following time order. C. By presenting research findings. D. By comparing the differences. D It is often said the laughter is the best medicine. But researchers at the University of Oxford think the ability to belly laughs (捧腹大笑) was unique to early humans. This, they believe, made our ancestors (祖先) able to form much larger groups. The researchers first tested the pain thresholds (临界值) of some volunteers. They divided them into two groups. One group was shown15 minutes of comedy videos, while the other was shown boring programs. Through this experiment, the researchers found that those who had recently experienced belly laughs were able to withstand (忍受) up to 10% more pain than they had done before watching the videos. To their surprise, the scientists also found that the other group was less able to withstand pain after watching 15 minutes of the “boring” programs. Professor Robin Dunbar of Oxford University, who led the research, believed that belly laughs release chemicals called endorphins (安多芬) into the body which make us feel less painful. However, not all comedy programs had such effects, according to Prof Dunbar. For example, though clever stand-up comedy was found to be enjoyable, it had no effect on raising pain thresholds. “Things that worked very well were interesting comedies such as Mr. Bean. Situation comedies such as Friends also seemed to be particularly successful,” he added. In order to measure (测量) endorphin levels, the researchers put a bag of ice on the volunteers’ arms to see how long they could withstand them. They found that the greater the increase in pain thresholds, the greater the amount of endorphins produced. The purpose of Prof Dunbar’s study was not to develop a new treatment. Instead, it was to study the role of laughter in the forming of human societies two million years ago. “The next stage will be to see whether laughing really allows people to keep together and work as a group better and be more friendly towards each other. If that is the case, then it may explain why some two million years ago, the first humans were able to form large communities of up to 100,” Dunbar added. 32. Prof Dunbar’s study was to __________. A. test the pain thresholds of humans B. measure the endorphin levels while laughing C. develop a new kind of medicine that reduces pain D. explore the influence of laughter in forming human societies 33. In order to withstand more pain, we’d better _________ . A. watch some scary films B. watch some beautiful pictures C. watch some boring programs D. watch some comedy videos 34 The meaning of the underlined word “release” in the passage may be ________. A. look out B. stand out C. find out D. give out 35. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. More experiments about laughter will be carried out. B. Laughter makes people keep together and work as a group. C. People who laugh a lot are more friendly towards each other. D. The first humans could only form small communities less than 100. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Guide to Keeping Your Dorm(宿舍) Room Clean In most cases, students don’t like or have time to clean their dorm rooms.____36____As a result, everybody’s business is nobody’s business.

So what if all children in the school were given an iPad to use in class and take home with them? Anne Laure Bazin works in a school where every child, teacher and teaching assistant is given a free iPad to use in and out of lessons. The main advantage of everyone having an iPad has been the improvement in communication. Documents can be emailed straight over to workmates during a meeting. Children hand in their homework by e-mail or through the school’s learning environment. Teachers now take the register using the iPad, which means that there is a centralized record of which children are in school, and which classroom they are in. The use of iPads has encouraged greater sharing of resources among teachers. All communication with parents is now done by e-mail. Working as a group in class is much easier as children can share documents. The whole class can look at one child’s book by attaching the iPad to the whiteboard. Has forgotten the textbook. The teacher can take a photograph of the relevant and send it to the student in class. While the use of the iPad in schools has revolutionized the way children are taught, it hasn’t completely replaced more traditional methods of teaching. Worksheets are still used in class as some children prefer the contact. The children all have a textbook and exercise books. In Anne Laure’s school, Parents feared that the iPads would replace and the children would lose handwriting skills. Anne Laure says, “The teachers are not ready to let go of the traditional style of teaching. We have welcomed the iPads in so much as they help communication and widen the resources that can be used. But we are not ready to let go of paper yet. The children themselves still value their exercise books and depend on them for revision.” 24. What can teachers do when everyone uses an iPad in school? A. They can have deep conversations with students. B. They can have more time to prepare the lessons. C. They can learn more about students’ activities at home. D. They can communicate with their workmates more conveniently. 25. What is an advantage of using iPads in the classroom? A. It saves students bringing the textbooks. B. It reduces parents’ worry about teaching. C. It improves the relationship between teachers. D. It makes sharing information easier. 26. What is parents’ attitude towards the use of iPads in the classroom? A. Worried. B. Uncaring. C. Annoyed. D. Positive. 27. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A.

The class structure (结构) is different. Students have each class in a different room with a different set of classmates in America, while Chinese students remain in the same classroom all day. In addition to the structural difference, Chinese high schools also differ from American high schools in the college application process (大学申请过程) that students undergo. In the United States, colleges use an application system that considers a student's high school grades, standardized test scores, after-school activities. teacher recommendations, and often a personal interview. Usually, the last few months of senior year has little work. The Chinese college admission process is very different. College acceptance is depended on standardized examinations held once a year at the end of each school year. Although students take tests at the end of their first and second years of high school, the test that really matters is the exam taken at the end of their final year of high school. The main way in which Chinese and American high schools differ is in the way information is taught. In America personal expression is valued heavily. Many classes are based on discussion of the material, and teachers expect students to join in this dialogue, so the classroom can become noisy. Classroom participation (参与), meaning how a student contributes to the class discussion, is an important part of a student's grade, so a student who works hard but never speaks up could receive a lower grade as a result. Chinese classrooms do not place this same importance on classroom participation. Class is based on the teacher talking and the students listening quietly. Respect (尊敬) for teachers is far more important. When a student is asked to speak, he or she is expected to stand. This classroom is more formal and respectful. But it also means less communication between the teacher and students. 28 What is the class structure for students in America? A. They have one teacher. B. They study in the same classroom. C. They have the same classmates. D. They have different classmates and classrooms. 29. What are paragraphs 4、5 mainly about? A. Different class structures. B. The way information is taught. C. How to get high marks in the final year of high school. D. The differences of the college application process between America and China. 30. How can a student most probably get a high mark in an American class? A. By being noisy B. By being active in class discussion. C. By having respect for teachers. D. By working hard and not speaking. 31. How does the author develop the text? A. By listing numbers. B. By following time order. C. By presenting research findings. D. By comparing the differences. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国的高中与美国的高中在很多方面的不同。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The class structure(结构)is different. Students have each class in a different room with a different set of classmates in America, while Chinese students remain in the same classroom all day.(班级结构是不同的。在美国，学生们在不同的教室和不同的同学一起上课，而中国学生整天都呆在同一个教室里。)”可知，美国课堂结构是学生在不同的教室与不同的同学学习。故选D。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In addition to the structural difference, Chinese high schools also differ from American high schools in the college application process (大学申请过程) that students undergo.(除了结构上的差异，中国高中在学生申请大学的过程中也与美国高中不同。)”和第四段、第五段可知，第四段和第五段主要讲中美两国大学申请过程的不同。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“In America, personal expression is valued heavily. Many classes are based on discussion of the material, and teachers expect students to join in this dialogue, so the classroom can become noisy. Classroom participation (参与), meaning how a student contributes to the class discussion, is an important part of a student's grade, so a student who works hard but never speaks up could receive a lower grade as a result.(在美国，个人表达是非常重要的。许多课程都是基于对材料的讨论，老师希望学生加入到这种对话中来，所以教室会变得嘈杂。课堂参与度，也就是学生对课堂讨论的参与程度，是学生成绩的重要组成部分，因此，一个努力学习但从不发言的学生可能会因此得到较低的分数。)”可推断，在美国课堂积极参与课堂讨论的同学最有可能得高分。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Chinese high schools differ irom American high schools in many ways.(中国的高中与美国的高中在很多方面不同。)”可知，作者是通过对比中美两国高中差异来展开全文的。故选D。 D It is often said the laughter is the best medicine. But researchers at the University of Oxford think the ability to belly laughs (捧腹大笑) was unique to early humans. This, they believe, made our ancestors (祖先) able to form much larger groups. The researchers first tested the pain thresholds (临界值) of some volunteers. They divided them into two groups. One group was shown15 minutes of comedy videos, while the other was shown boring programs. Through this experiment, the researchers found that those who had recently experienced belly laughs were able to withstand (忍受) up to 10% more pain than they had done before watching the videos. To their surprise, the scientists also found that the other group was less able to withstand pain after watching 15 minutes of the “boring” programs. Professor Robin Dunbar of Oxford University, who led the research, believed that belly laughs release chemicals called endorphins (安多芬) into the body which make us feel less painful. However not all comedy programs had such effects, according to Prof Dunbar. For example, though clever stand-up comedy was found to be enjoyable, it had no effect on raising pain thresholds. “Things that worked very well were interesting comedies such as Mr. Bean. Situation comedies such as Friends also seemed to be particularly successful,” he added. In order to measure (测量) endorphin levels, the researchers put a bag of ice on the volunteers’ arms to see how long they could withstand them. They found that the greater the increase in pain thresholds, the greater the amount of endorphins produced. The purpose of Prof Dunbar’s study was not to develop a new treatment. Instead, it was to study the role of laughter in the forming of human societies two million years ago. “The next stage will be to see whether laughing really allows people to keep together and work as a group better and be more friendly towards each other. If that is the case, then it may explain why some two million years ago, the first humans were able to form large communities of up to 100,” Dunbar added. 32. Prof Dunbar’s study was to __________. A. test the pain thresholds of humans B. measure the endorphin levels while laughing C. develop a new kind of medicine that reduces pain D. explore the influence of laughter in forming human societies 33. In order to withstand more pain, we’d better _________ . A. watch some scary films B. watch some beautiful pictures C. watch some boring programs D. watch some comedy videos 34. The meaning of the underlined word “release” in the passage may be ________. A. look out B. stand out C. find out D. give out 35. What can we know from the last paragraph? A. More experiments about laughter will be carried out. B. Laughter makes people keep together and work as a group. C. People who laugh a lot are more friendly towards each other. D. The first humans could only form small communities less than 100. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是牛津大学的研究人员进行的一项关于笑声的研究，目的是为了探索笑声在人类社会形成中的影响。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The purpose of Prof Dunbar’s study was not to develop a new treatment. Instead, it was to study the role of laughter in the forming of human societies two million years ago.(邓巴教授研究的目的不是开发一种新的治疗方法。相反，它是为了研究200万年前笑声在人类社会形成中的作用。)”可知，Dunbar教授研究的目的是研究笑声在人类历史社会形成中的作用。故选D项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Through this experiment, the researchers found that those who had recently experienced belly laughs were able to withstand (忍受) up to 10% more pain than they had done before watching the videos.(通过这个实验，研究人员发现，那些最近经历过捧腹大笑的人比看视频之前多承受了10%的痛苦。)”可知，那些捧腹大笑的人比看视频前多承受10%的疼痛，结合“To their surprise, the scientists also found that the other group was less able to withstand pain after watching 15 minutes of the “boring” programs.(令他们惊讶的是，科学家们还发现，另一组人在看了15分钟的“无聊”节目后，忍受疼痛的能力下降了。) ”可知，研究同时发现，那些看了“节目”的人承受疼痛的能力下降了，由此可知，我们要想多承受疼痛，应该看一些喜剧视频。故选D项。 【34题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词后的“chemicals called endorphins (安多芬) into the body which make us feel less painful.(一种叫做安多芬的化学物质进入体内，使我们感觉不那么痛苦。)”可知，此处指的是研究发现，大笑会产生一种作用，使得一种叫做安多芬的化学物质进入到我们体内，使我们不觉得那么疼痛，由此可知，划线单词release的意思与“释放”意义相近，give out意为“释放”。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“The next stage will be to see whether laughing really allows people to keep together and work as a group better and be more friendly towards each other.(下一个阶段将是看看笑是否真的能让人们团结在一起，更好地作为一个团队工作，彼此之间更友好。)”可知，接下来将会研究大笑是不是能让人们团结在一起，更好地作为一个团队工作，以及彼此之间会不会更友好，由此可知，接下来对大笑进行的研究会有很多。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The Guide to Keeping Your Dorm(宿舍) Room Clean In most cases, students don’t like or have time to clean their dorm rooms.____36____As a result, everybody’s business is nobody’s business.
