While reading a book in English, every few lines, you run across a word or two that you don"t know. You look up every new word in the dictionary. Bad move. All that does is slow you down. Even electric or CD-ROM dictionaries can get in the way of your reading progress. A dictionary is like a road map. It can help you if you get lost and point you in the right direction. But if you stop to look at the "map" each time you take a step, you"ll get nowhere fast. On your English learning "journey", a dictionary can be a helpful "travel companion"—if it"s not overused. To help you start thinking in English, use an English-to-English dictionary. Otherwise, you"ll always depend on your native language and end up translating in your head. A good dictionary can help you do more than just find the meaning of a word. It can help you verify (test and check) spelling, check word forms and grammar usage, find example sentences and learn pronunciation. Some dictionaries even provide exercises to teach you how to use their resources. Take time to get to know your dictionary. Learn the pronunciation symbols. Understand what the abbreviations(缩写字) mean. Become familiar with the grammar codes that explain the usage for each word. Look for charts, diagrams and lists that might be useful in the future. You"ll discover how rewarding it can be to make friends with your dictionary. And as they say, "A friend in need is a friend indeed". 小题1: The underlined word "that" used in the last paragraph refers to ________.A.chart, diagrams and lists | B.abbreviations and the usage for each word | C.the meaning of a word, spelling and grammar usage | D.pronunciation symbols and grammar codes | 小题2:Why do you want to buy a good English-to-English dictionary?A.Because it is a good friend if we use it often. | B.Because it can help us to find the right direction if we get lost. | C.Because it can help us to start thinking both in English and in Chinese.
| D.Without it we"ll depend on our native language and end up translating in our head. | 小题3:Which of the following statements does the writer lead you to believe? A.The more you use a dictionary, the better you can understand the article you read. | B.The more you use the resources in the dictionary, the more you can benefit from it. | C.The more you use a dictionary, the faster you may read. | D.The better a dictionary is, the more expensive it is. | 小题4: The best title of the passage may be _______.A.Dictionary is Like a Road Map While We Are Traveling | B.Use a Dictionary When Necessary | C.How Important a Good English-to-English Dictionary is | D.A Dictionary is a Friend Indeed |

Cities in Europe and around the world may be growing “bike trees” in the near future. Invented by Japan’s JFE Engineering Corp, the invention proved useful in the busiest parts of this nation’s crowded cities. Local governments of Japan have struggled for ways to encourage people to park their bikes considerably, particularly close to big stations, but that may block some roads and entrances to homes and businesses. “Our cities do not have a lot of space for any kind of parking, including bicycles.” said Mitsuharu Oshima, a spokesman for JFE Engineering. The bike tree comes in two types: one in a tower that is above ground and on the contrary, the other in an underground structure. A cyclist registers with the operator of the equipment, pays a monthly fee and pushes the wheels of his bicycle into restraints(管理处) at the base of the bike tree. Each bicycle is fitted with an electronic card with the owner’s details. A mechanical arm then pulls the bike into the base of the tower and moves it to a free location inside. To collect the bike later, the cyclist puts his card through a reader and his bike is automatically returned to him in seconds. “The science of the equipment has been difficult —— even though they may look quite simple —— because bikes come in many different shapes and sizes.” said Oshima. As well as clearing away the road, bicycles cannot be stolen from a bike tree. There are presently versions at seven sites in Japan and two others are under construction, while work is under way on an even larger version —— with room for 9400 bicycles —— in Thailand. And Oshima believes that the idea could catch on in Europe, particularly in countries such as France, Holland and Denmark , where cycling is so popular. 小题1: Cities build this kind of “bike trees” so that they can _______.A.ask more people to ride bikes | B.provide more jobs for people | C.make more money than before | D.save more room for people | 小题2:Which is the right order of the following things when you use the bike tree? ① the wheels of the bicycle are put into restraints at the base . ② the card is read and the bike is automatically returned . ③ an electronic card with the owner’s details is given ④ the bike is pulled and moved to a free location inside .小题3: What made it difficult to design “bike trees”?A.The location of “bike trees”. | B.The method of finding enough bikes. | C.The differences of the bikes. | D.The importance of traffic safety | 小题4: From the passage, we can know that _______.A.countries with many cyclists in Europe will like the idea of “bike trees” | B.there are seven “bike trees” used for holding bikes in Japan | C.local government of Japan encourage people to ride bikes | D.cyclists can use “bike trees” for free in Japan. |

Old age may not sound exciting.But recent findings offer good news for older pepole and for people worried about getting older. Researches found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty.In fact,they say by the age of eighty—five,people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old. The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States.The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008.At that time,the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty—five.The searches asked questions about emotions like happiness,sadness and worry.They also asked about mental or emotional stress. Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty—two and twenty—five.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies.The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties. The study also showed that men and women had similar emotional patterns as they grew older.Hower,women at all ages reported more sadness,stress and worry than men.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older.One theory is that,as people grow older,they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotion .They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences. The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children,being unemployed or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well—being related to age. 小题1: How did the researchers find older people happier?A.They did a series of experiments. | B.They made a written survey about the old people. | C.They interviewed people of different ages face to face. | D.They telephoned people between the ages of 18 and 85. | 小题2:When do people feel happier according to the passage?A.In their twenties | B.In their fifties | C.After their seventies | D.When they were born | 小题3:Which one is NOT related to the happiness of old people?A.Less stress | B.Away from working | C.Controlling of emotions | D.More thankfulness | 小题4:Which is the best title for the passage?A.No Worrying about Getting Older | B.Older Men are Happier than Older Women | C.The Factors Affecting the Happiness of Old people | D.For Lots of people,Getting Older Means Getting Happy |

Energy is very important in modern life. People use energy to run machines, heat and cool their homes, cook, give light, and transport people and products from place to place. Most energy comes from fossil fuels—petroleum, coal, and natural gas. However, burning fuels causes pollution. Also, if we don’t find new kinds of energy, we will use up all the fossil fuels in the twenty-first century. Scientists are working hard to find other kinds of energy for the future. What might these sources of energy be? Energy from the wind All over the world, people use the power of the wind. It turns windmills and moves sailboats. It is a clean source of energy, and there is lots of it. Unfortunately, if the wind does not blow, there is no wind energy. Energy from water When water moves from a high place to a lower place, it makes energy. This energy is used to create electricity. In Brittany, France, for example, waterpower produces enough energy to light a town of 40,000people. Waterpower gives energy without pollution. However, people have to build dams to use this energy. Dams cost a lot of money, so water energy is expensive. Energy from the earth There is heat in rocks under the earth. Scientists use this heat to make geothermal energy. San Francisco gets half of the energy it needs from geothermal power. This kind of energy is cheap, but it is possible only in a few places in the world. Energy from the sun Solar panels on the roofs of houses can turn energy from the sun into electricity. These panels can create enough energy to heat an entire house. Solar power is clean and there is a lot of it in sunny places. But when the weather is bad, there is no sunlight for energy. 小题1:What does this passage mainly talk about?A.Advantage of the energy from nature. | B.The future of the energy. | C.Scientists have been working hard to research other kinds of energy. | D.energy is the most important power in the word. | 小题2:From the first paragraph we know ______.A.energy can do everything for people | B.all the energy causes pollution | C.the new kinds of energy are badly needed | D.scientists have found other kinds of energy for the future | 小题3:What is the writer’s opinion about the energy?A.Try to use water energy more though it costs a lot. | B.Each natural energy has its own advantages and disadvantages. | C.Solar power is environmental. | D.Wind power is the cheapest but we can’t get. | 小题4:What can be inferred from the passage?A.In order to protect our environment, we should try other kinds of energy. | B.All scientists in the world will unite to find energy. | C.People in modern life use energy every day. | D.Energy changes people’s lives. |
