【题目】任务型阅读How to Improve Vocabulary Fast
Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. We should learn some ways to expand it.
Read every day. Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.
If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.
Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.
Elaborate(阐释)on the meaning of the word. Use imagery and personal relevance. If you have just learned that the word “stubborn” , think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car.
Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow. But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.
Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is .The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.
A. Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.
B. Your vocabulary contains the words you understand.
C. The vocabulary can be increased.
D. Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as “stubborn in his refusal”.
E. The first time you use a new word in speech it may seem strange.
F. Find a new word every day.
G. The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow.

【答案】G;F;D;E;A
【解析】本文是一篇议论文,介绍了拓宽词汇量的几个建议。
(1)考查上下文联系和推理判断。根据第一段中的”Read every day“,提出每天阅读可以增加我们的词汇量。故G项:The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow.你阅读得越多,你的词汇量增加得就越快。和这一段的主题完全一致。
(2)考查上下文联系和推理判断。根据下文”If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.“在日常阅读中如果找不到不熟悉的单词,也要使用字典找一个自己不熟悉的单词。换句话说,也就是每天都要学一个新单词。故F正确。
(3)考查上下文联系和推理判断。根据上文”If you have just learned the word ‘stubborn”’, think about the neighbor who will not lend you his car.“当你学习“固执”这个单词的时候,就想象一下能够不愿意借车的邻居。也就是使用想象,来学习单词。与D项”Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as “stubborn in his refusal”.一致。
(4)考查上下文联系和推理判断。根据第三段中的“Use your new word in speech and in writing.”作者建议学以致用。也就是把所学的词汇用在讲话和写作中,E项:The first time you use a new word in speech, it may seem clumsy and forced.与其呼应,合语境。
(5) 考查上下文联系和推理判断。根据上文”Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is.“可知要鼓励别人问你最近学了什么单词,或者你来解释一下你所使用的单词的含义。通过这一方法来拓宽的词汇量。故A正确。

【题目】阅读理解
Eight-year-old Owen Howkins suffers from growth delays(迟缓) and poor eyesight. This means that Owen needs a wheelchair to get around. Not surprisingly, he felt people were staring (盯着看) at him, and that made him very uncomfortable, so he became lonely and even stopped going outside of his house. That, however, was all before Haatchi came into his life!
Haatchi had a very unlucky start to life too. Tied to a railway track when he was just five months old, the dog was hit by a train. The hit unjured his tail and a leg so badly that both had to be cut off. Taken to a rescue shelter(救助站), the dog would have probably been killed if his story posted on Facebook had not been seen by Owen's dad Will. He fell in love with Haatchi and decided to keep him, thinking that they were helping him. It turns out that it was Haatchi who helped them. By always staying at young Owen's side, he became the boy's best friend. Slowly Owen liked to go outside. Wherever he goes, the dog follows and protects him. Owen now proudly walks around the neighborhood, showing off his dog and telling anyone willing to listen, Haatchi's story.
Haatch's positive influence on the young boy has not gone unnoticed. In October 2012, the International Fund of Animal Welfare presented him with a special award(奖). The amazing friendship between the two has also been shown in a touching short film called “A Boy and His Dog” by students from the filmmaking class at the University of Hertfordshire. It has won several awards and had almost 2 million views. British best-selling author Wendy Holden has also writtern about this touching friendship in a aheartwarming children's book, which was released on February 13th and had made Owen and Haatchi better known!

【题目】根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。
Here is an astonishing and significant fact:Mental work alone can't make us tire. It sounds absurd.But a few years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all!
If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins (霉素) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.
So far as the brain is concerned, it can work as well and swiftly at the end of eight or even twelve hours of effort as at the beginning. The brain is totally tireless. So what makes us tired?
Some scientists declare that most of our fatigue comes from our mental and emotional (情绪的)attitudes. One of England's most outstanding scientists, J. A. Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fatigue of purely physical origin is rare. ”Dr. Brill, a famous American scientist, goes even further, He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems.”
What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling of being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciated— those are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue. We get tired because our emotions produce nervousness in the body.
(1)What surprised the scientists a few years ago?
A.Fatigue toxins could hardly be found in a laborer's blood
B.Albert Einstein didn't feel worn after a day's work
C.The brain could work for many hours without fatigue
D.A mental worker's blood was filled with fatigue toxins
(2)According to the author, which of the following can make sitting workers tired?
A.Challenging mental work
B.Unpleasant emotions
C.Endless tasks
D.Physical labor
(3)What's the author's attitude towards the scientists' idea?
A.He agrees with them
B.He doubts them
C.He argues against them
D.He hesitates to accept them
