Do you think it’s always better to write long sentences? Many English learners think so.They want to attract others’ attention with their vocabulary and grammar. However, “wordy” sentences (sentences that are unnecessarily long) may cause some problems. For example, it can prevent us from communicating clearly. Let’s look at an example of a wordy sentence:
“There is currently a lively, ongoing debate(辩论)among many university teachers and other experts who study human nature, during which arguments are being presented about what it means that so many young people who live in our society today are so interested in stories about superheroes.”
Can you easily understand this 46-word-sentence? Well, you’re not alone if you can’t. In one interview only 25 percent of people understood it.
Here are some tips to help you avoid wordy sentences.
· Tip 1: Use active verbs, not passive ones. For example, say “The family bought a new car.” instead of “A new car was brought by the family.”;
· Tip 2. Avoid wordy phrases. Instead of “there is a real fact that”, just use “in fact”;
· Tip 3: Put sentences together when possible. For example, instead of “Ann likes the book, and her best friend Margot likes it too,” say “Both Ann and her best fiend Margot enjoy the book.”;
By following these tips, you can make your writing clearer and more enjoyable for your readers.
( )51. Why do English learners prefer long sentences when writing?

A.10% B. 25% C. 30%. D. 15%
( )54. Which of the following is an example of Tip 2?
A. Use “can” instead of “have the ability to”
B. Use “have the ability to” instead of “can”

Have you ever experienced hui nan tian, or lasting humid(湿热的) weather?
Hui nan tian is a special weather condition in southern China. It normally appears in spring when the temperature begins to rise and the humidity quickly increases. Before it arrives, there are usually a few cold days, with a temperature below 12°C. As the cold air goes away, warmer air quickly comes and the temperature rises, creating a lot of water vapour(蒸汽). Small water drops can be seen on windows and walls. For example, if the temperature is below 12°C from March 7th to 9th but suddenly rises on March 10th, hui nan rian will appear on March 10th.
During hui nan tian, the humid weather makes it easy for bacteria(菌) to grow. Food goes bad easily, clothes stay wet and sofas can get moldy(发霉的). Things like televisions may breakdown when they get wet inside, which can be dangerous for people to tum them on. It can also make people feel tired and sick. Catching a cold is prevalent during this time, as the temperature changes quickly. Although the weather troubles people a lot, for nature, it can be helpful. Thanks to the humid weather, plants can grow better with enough water and warmer air.
To cut down on the trouble caused by the lasting humid weather, scientists suggest that people in the south should close their windows in the morning and evening. At the same time, they should use an air conditioner to take away water from the air. It’s also useful to put newspapers on the floor, on tables and at the door to take in water and wet air.
( )56. Where is this passage probably from?
A. A guide book. B. A story book.
C. A nature magazine. D. A sports magazine.
( )57. Which of the following is TRUE about hui nan tian according to the passage?
A. It always appears in summer.
B. There is heavy rain every day.
C. There are usually a few cold days before it.
D. It is a special weather condition in the north.
( )58. In which of the following conditions is hui nan tian most likely to appear on the 10th?
A. B. C. D.
( )59. Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word “prevalent”?
A. Strange. B. Common. C. Easy. D. Difficult.
( )60. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Humid Weather B. The Warm Air Rises
C. The Growth of Plants D. The Weather Changes
