We’d better develop our interest in English at the beginning of our study. 【1】 We may feel good when we can say something simple in English.

【2】 So we must make some plans before study. And we should certainly carry out these plans in our study.

【3】 Our notes are much thinner than the books so that we can learn them by heart easily and can often review and read them. We may also record our notes on tapes so as to listen to them easily.

Reading a newspaper is the best thing to improve your English. 【4】 It will help you keep in touch with a lot of subjects in English.

【5】 Learn by heart the whole sentences and the phrases that contain the new words so that we may know how to use the words.

If time permits, we may read a mini Chinese-English dictionary carefully from cover to cover, which may help us widen our sight and master knowledge in all ways.

C. Carefully write an e-mail in English.

【题目】A Dutch artist and designer has come up with a device which he hopes will get rid of pollutants from Beijing's smog skies, creating clean air for the city's mask-wearing people.

An electromagnetic field（电磁场） will pull particles（微粒） in the smog to the ground where they can be easily cleaned.

“It's like when you have a balloon which has static（静电） and your hair goes toward it. Same with the smog,” says artist Daan Roosegaarde.

His studio has reached an agreement with the Beijing government to test the technology in one of tile capital's parks.

With its skies regularly covered by dirty gray smog, Beijing this week announced a series of emergency measures to handle the problem.

Roosegaarde says an indoor model device has already proven it works and is confident that the results — with the help of a team of scientists and engineers — can be replicated outside.

“Beijing is quite a good place because the smog in Beijing is quite low. It lies in a valley so there's not so much wind. It's a good environment to explore this kind of thing.”

“We'll be able to purify the air and the challenge is to get the top of the smog so you can see the sun again.”

Roosegaarde acknowledges that projects like this are a way of drawing attention to the problem, rather than a practical solution to Beijing's awful air pollution.

“This is not the real answer for smog. The real answer has to do with clean cars, different industry and different lifestyles.”

However, he hopes the project will make a “fundamental statement” by allowing the city's people to realize the difference between breathing clean and smog-filled air.

【1】The device works by _______.

A. helping keep the particles out with more masks

B. pulling pollutants to the ground with an electromagnetic field

C. absorbing hair with a balloon with static

D. creating clean air and let it out into the sky

【2】According to the passage, ______ .

A. the Beijing government has agreed to use the technology in Beijing

B. they have proven the results of the device both indoors and outdoors

C. the results of the air-cleaning device can be expectable

D. the Beijing government has never done anything to handle the air pollution

【3】What does Roosegaarde really mean by saying “Beijing is quite a good place…... ”?

A. The air pollution in Beijing is not quite serious.

B. The weather in Beijing is good for foreigners to live in.

C. Beijing is quite fit for using the air-cleaning device.

D. It is easy to get the top of the smog in Beijing.

【4】Roosegaarde appeals to people in Beijing to ________.

A. pay attention to air pollution and solve the problem finally

B. invent more devices to clean the smog in Beijing

C. drive modern cars and try different lifestyles

D. realize how serious the pollution they're facing is

【题目】语法填空

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Body language is one of 【1】 (power) means of communication, often even more powerful than 【2】 (speak) language. People around the world show all kinds of 【3】 (feel), wishes and attitudes 【4】 they might never speak aloud. It is possible to “read” others around us, even if 【5】 do not intend for us 【6】 (catch) their unspoken communication. Of course, body language can 【7】 (misread), 【8】 many gestures and actions are universal. The most universal 【9】 (face) expression is, of course, the smile, 【10】 function is to show 【11】 (happy) and put people at 【12】 (easy). It doesn’t always mean that we are 【13】 (true) happy, however. Smiles around the world can be false, 【14】 (hide) other feelings 【15】 anger, fear or worry.

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

【1】 From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “ small talk ”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries------like the UK or France 【2】

Talks and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; 【3】 The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.

Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; 【4】 We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.

People from different parts of the world have different values, 【5】 However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

A. and sometimes these values are quite against each other.

B. Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.

C. people from both nations keep the rule that work comes first.

D. instead there was an uncomfortable silence.

E. however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.

F. people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.

G. It is quite a common case to meet people from different cultures.

I’m tired and covered in dust. I’ve been digging all day and I’ll be doing the same tomorrow. Sound awful, doesn’t it ? But I’ve never had so many fun in my life. As an archaeology student, I have already knew something about the Qin Tomb and the terracotta warriors. Most Chinese children can tell you Qin Shihuang was the emperor first unified China. He was a brilliant ruler, and he was also a cruel man who killed thousands of people. When he became the king of the state, he immediately ordered workers to construct an underground tomb for him, which is said to contain great treasures. But, the actual entrance to the tomb has ever been found, nor has the tomb been opened. There are ancient descriptions of crossbows hiding at the tomb’s entrance. It’s said that if everyone steps across the entrance, the crossbows will fire.

I’m very glad to have received the letter you sent me two weeks before. I have been thought about the question raised in your letter.

【题目】Humor, if ________ properly, will help us break the ice and gain affection of others in social communication.

A.using B.used C.to use D. to be used

【题目】Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us.

If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seed. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.

【1】The main idea of the first paragraph is that ______.

A. plants are important for life

B. plants cannot grow without air

C. there are many plants in the world

D. we can’t live without water

【2】Plants can make food from _______.

A. flower, water and air B. water, sunlight and air

C. air, water andspan> soil D. air, sun and light

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A. Of all living things animals are most important.

B. Spores are seeds.

C. All fruits of flowering plants have seeds.

D. Without plants, man will die out.

【4】This passage may be taken from ______.

A. a medicine book B. a novel

C. a science magazine D. an experiment report
