A good study environment is as important as the studying itself. Here are a few suggestions that will help
you in making a good study environment for yourself. Take care of these, and you will find that you are doing
better by the day.
1. ( )
Pick a suitably quiet place, not necessarily where you can hear a pin drop, but not where you have people
screaming all around you, either. At the same time, if too much quietness makes you feel lonely, then you may
try playing some soft music in the background.
2.( )
Think of all the related materials that you may require, and gather them beforehand. It"s OK if you end up
not using a few of the books. Get a fruit or some snacks that will keep you comfortably full, without being too
heavy on your tummy. (胃)
Lighting is very important.
You must have a reasonable amount of lighting that will let you read properly, without putting stress on
your eyes, or making them burn and water after a while. 3. ( ) And at night, make sure that you have a light
that shines brightly on the book that you are reading.
Know your limits.
Don"t compare yourself with your friend. Seriously, this is not a competition to see who studies more in a
day. You are you, and you are not your friend. 4. ( ) Stop asking your friend constantly how much he has
finished, or telling him how much you have done.
Study smartly instead of studying hard.
5. ( ) Read important points, and highlight important sentences. Use techniques like mind mapping, logical
linking of points, or short forms to remember long lists. This will increase the speed of your studying, and help
you in getting more done in less time. |
A. Select a quiet place.
B. The effect will be the same.
C. He has his limits, and you have yours.
D. Get all your stuff together before you start.
E. Get a nice and comfortable chair for yourself.
F. Try picking a place by the window during the daytime.
G. Reading through the entire text like it"s a novel is pointless. |

Here are a few tips we"ve put together to help you learn English well.
Speak, speak, speak!
Practise speaking as often as you can-even speaking to yourself is good practice. Try recording yourself
whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version, see how you can do better and have
another try. If you do this several times, you will find that each version is better than the last.
Why not learn with someone else?
It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with
you, it will make you keep working. Arrange times to meet and set goals for the week, and test each other
regularly.
Don"t get stuck (卡住) by a word you don"t know Practise improvising (即兴的) ways of getting your
meaning across while speaking spontaneously (本能), even if you don"t know the exact words or phrases.
Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time. A basic example is the use of tenses.
If you don"t know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday, use the verb in the present tense and use
the word for"yesterday". Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to get your meaning across.
Language learning is also about intuition (直觉) Guesswork is important in learning a new language. When
listening to recorded material, you aren"t expected to understand everything first time round. If you play the
same piece several times, you will most probably understand something new each time. Learn to make
maximum use of all the clues you can pick up. For example, what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry?
Calm? Etc.
Build up your vocabulary A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don"t try to
learn too much at once. It"s best to study frequently, for short periods of time. Take a maximum of six or
seven items of vocabulary and learn them. Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, then come back
to them later. Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic. And above all, have fun! |
| 1. Why should one have himself recorded when practicing speaking? |

What would you think if you went back to school on Monday and there were no desks or chairs in your
classroom?
That"s what some fourth-and-fifth-graders at a school in Minnesota discovered earlier this year when they
took part in a research project to see if changing their classrooms would make them more active.
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic were concerned about reports that as many as half of American kids
could be seriously overweight-or obese-by the year 2010. So they set up a different kind of classroom, which
you might see in the future.
Instead of desks, the Elton Hills Elementary students had adjustable work stations where they could stand,
kneel on mats or sit on big exercise balls. Students were given laptops and iPods that allowed them to move
and learn at the same time.
Sensors (传感器) were attached to the kids" legs to calculate how many calories students burned in their
new set-up.
Their typical school day was probably not anything like yours. One group of students downloaded an
audio file (有声文件) of their teacher reading a book; they listened to it while walking for exercise. Another
group took a spelling test by listening to their iPods.
Some students liked the freedom, but others missed the traditional classroom.
"I don"t like standing up," Mariah Matrious said."My legs get tired, and I like sitting down." So, did the
experiment work? Researchers still are studying the data, but early results indicate that the kids did move
around more in the new classroom.
"It showed us that, given the opportunity to move, kids will move," said researcher Lorraine
Lanningham-Foster.
That"s important because studies have shown that even simple movement-climbing stairs instead of taking
an elevator (电梯), for example, or washing dishes by hand instead of loading the dishwasher-can be as
important as formal exercise when it comes to controlling one"s weight. |
| 1. The school in Minnesota carried out the research _____. |
A. to punish the badly performed students
B. to prevent children from being too fat
C. to spare a lot of money for the state
D. to meet the needs of different children |
| 2. The newly designed classrooms are different from the traditional ones EXCEPT that _____. |
A. there were no desks and chairs
B. the students can move and learn at the same time
C. students in different groups are given different tasks
D. teachers don"t necessarily instruct the students |
| 3. According to Lorraine Lanningham-Foster, _____. |
A. the research got some expected results
B. the experiment needs further changes
C. not everyone liked the freedom of this new style
D. The students should be taught without classrooms |
| 4. What would be the best title for the text? |
A. No Desks or Chairs in the Classroom
B. New Classrooms in the Future
C. School Takes a Stand Against Obesity
D. Washing dishes by hand in the Classroom |

When the six very best students from different cities in Guangdong Province all together chose universities
in Hong Kong; when the very best students of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Beijing
or Qinghua University; when the highest enrollment (录取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University
reached 48:1, it"s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
Years ago, the answer certainly would be"Beijing or Qinghua University". But now no one could give the
exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual
attraction to a great many mainland students.
It"s no doubt to call this HK craze (狂热), which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities them
selves.
How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Beijing and Qinghua and attract so many mainland
students?
First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive
the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden
of many families, it"s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.
Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual
(双语) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.
Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.
Can mainland top universities like Beijing or Qinghua University be calm as before when facing the
unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help
them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of
education in China. After the awakening and action-taking of mainland universities, they can perform better
together with HK universities.
At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees (学费) are among students" top concern when
they are choosing universities. It"s time to move. |
| 1. What is the passage mainly talking about? |
A. Some thoughts brought by the enrollment of HK universities.
B. Higher education in Hong Kong.
C. The competition between HK University and Beijing University.
D. The fall of mainland universities. |
| 2. Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because ______. |
A. many students now would love to study abroad to get a better experience
B. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities
C. HK Universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study
D. Beijing University has lost its worldwide reputation |
| 3. From the passage we can see HK universities ______. |
A. didn"t mean to enroll top students from mainland
B. didn"t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular
C. have strict enrollment rules and only 1out of 48 students can get the chance to study there
D. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities |
| 4. What does the author mean by saying "It"s time to move." in the last paragraph? |
A. Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.
B. The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.
C. Mainland universities should make full preparations to enroll Hong Kong students.
D. Top students should be offered further education free of charge. |

"How can I learn English well?" This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective
way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you"ve learned it fairly well. And
if you can retell, in your own words, what the lesson is about, you"re a very successful learner indeed. Your
English will be quite perfect. This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each
lesson, you"ll find it not so hard as you might have expected.
Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot
on your way to success in English.
Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news.
When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your
way. So, never try to see English through translation. |
| 1. In the writer"s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is _____. |
A. to practise speaking, writing and feeling it
B. to memorize the English words and grammar
C. to translate everything into your own language
D. to forget your own native language |
2. "Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way." This sentence means that memorizing your
own language can _____. |
A. stop you mastering (having a good command of) English
B. help you to study English well
C. make English easy to learn
D. help you notice mistakes |
| 3. "To feel the language" here means _____. |
A. to get the knowledge of English by touching
B. to read and write English
C. to experience the rich meaning of the language
D. to translate English into your own by imagining |

Psychology (心理学) tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us to take risks,
especially (尤其)when the risk is to achieve a desired result. In that way, we become stronger and braver.
Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn"t have the fear
(恐惧) to move on. This is because of one or two failures in their lives. Please step out and don"t let the
past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward and move on!
In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides (提供) us with the
desire (渴望)to experiment and take chances.
Risk taking is a great benefit(好处)that allowed our ancestors(祖先) to become stronger and stronger
day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered new territories(领土). This attitude has
become a part of our modern culture. Riding a roller coaster is a common risk taking activity that even the
average person seems to enjoy although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological
and biological (生物学上的) connection (联系)creates an interesting connection between what is unsafe
and what humans enjoy. Getting in a car each day is a risk.
Getting out of bed is a risk. There is such thing as perfect safety. We need to take risks so that we can
finish many things. Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket; however, the things they achieve
are great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without doing that, they
could not make more money.
We need to take risks so that we can gain something. It is impossible to move forward in life, earn
money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking a risk. It is all part of the game.
It"s one of the most important parts of life. |
| 1. Some people don"t want to take risks, mainly (主要)because _______. |
A. they are too lazy to move on
B. they feel pleased with the present life.
C. they have experienced some failures before
D. they show little interest in the strange world outside |
| 2. What does the underlined part "This attitude" in Paragraph 4 mean? |
A. Taking risks
B. Fighting off enemies
C. Discovering new territories
D. Becoming stronger and stronger |
|
|
| 3. What can we infer from the passage? |
A. Daily life is full of risks
B. The safest place has the greatest risk
C. People should take risks when they are young
D. We can always achieve our goals by taking risks |
| 4. What would be the title for the passage? |
A. Taking risks is easier said than done
B. On risks taken by ancestors
C. Live our life to the fullest (充分地)
D. No risk, no gain. |
