| When I first entered university, my aunt, who is an English professor, gave me s new English dictionary. I was 1 to see that it was an English dictionary, also known as a monolingual dictionary. 2 it was a dictionary intended for non-native learners, none of my classmates had one 3 , to be honest, I found it extremely 4 to use at first. I would look up words in the dictionary and 5 not fully understand the meaning, I was used to the 6 bilingual dictionaries, in which the words are 7 both in English and Chinese, I really wondered why my aunt 8 to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for three years, I 9 that monolingual dictionaries are 10 in learning a foreign language. As I found out, there is 11 often NO perfect equivalence (对应) between two 12 in two language. My aunt even goes so far as to 13 that a Chinese "equivalent" can never give you the 14 meaning of a word in English! 15 , she insisted that I read the definition (定义) of a world in a monolingual dictionary 16 I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning. 17 , I have come to see what she meant. Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This dictionary uses a(n) 18 number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these definitions, I am 19 exposed to (接触) the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas. 20 this, I can express myself more easily in English. | ||||

| It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries. Then one day. Some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place. This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a batter future, But the dream didn't last long. The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately. The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left. Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job-eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases. Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning. |

| I hated dinner parties. But I decided to give them another shot because I'm in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those back in New York. There, 'I’m having a dinner party' means: "I'm booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you can't afford and we'll be sharing the checque evenly, no matter what you eat. " Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. They'll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who don’t drink, end up paying even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout:"Where are you going?" And it's not like I can say I have somewhere to go: everyone know I have nowhere to go. But in London, dinner parties are in people's homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India. Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations in New York. The mix is less striking. It's like a gathering at Bloomingdale's, a well-known department store. For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York. But at Mallery's, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club. |
| 1. What does the word"shot" in Paragraph j probably mean? |
|
[ ] |

[ ] |
| A There is a strange mix of people. B. The restaurants are expensive. C. The bill is not fairly shared. D. People have to pay cash. |
| 3. What does the author think of the parties in London? |
|
[ ] |
| A. A bit ummul B. Full of tricks. C. Less cosdy. D. More interesting. |
| 4. What is the author's opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Easy-going. B. Self-centered. C. Generous. D. Conservative. |

| Too much TV-watching can harm children's ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children. One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs. A second study, looking at nearly 1000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year -olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results don't prove that TV is the cause and don't ride out that already poorly motivated youngsters (年轻人) may wash lots of TV. Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. These with college degrees had watched average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood compared with an average of more than 2 1/2 hours those had no education beyond high school. In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest. While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldn't have TVs in their bedrooms. |
| 1. According to the Caledonia study, the low-scoring group might _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. have watched a lot of TV B. not be interested ted in math C. is unable to go to college D. have had computers in their bedrooms |
| 2. What is the researchers' understanding of the New Zealand study results? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV. B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest. C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds. D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain |
| 3. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? |
|
[ ] |
| A. More time should be spent on computers. B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV. C. 'IV sets shouldn't be allowed in children's bedrooms. D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done. |
| 4. What would be the best title for this text? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Computers or Television B. Effects of Television on Children C. Studies on TV and College Education D. Television and Children's Learning Habits |

| Christine was just a girl in one of my class. I never knew much about her except for that she was strange. She didn't talk many. Her hair was black and purple, and she worn black sports shoes and a black sweater, although in the summer. She was, in fact, rather attractively, and she never seemed care what the rest thought about her. Like the rest of my classmate, I didn't really want to get closest to her. It was only when we did their chemistry project together that I begin to understand why Christine dressed the way she did. _________________________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________________________ |
