　　There is no doubt about it. The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously. I don’t mean while you’re unconscious. I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.

　　That is how I learnt the 30,000 words in my vocabulary by living in an English-speaking world，mother tongue. I just pick them up. But some of them may be misunderstood. Now，to misunderstand does not mean not to understand. To misunderstand is to understand but incorrectly.

　　The 5％ mislearnt of all the words we“know”will be the least frequently used words，as the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt. Some of the misunderstandings may live with all our lives，without knowing that we got them wrong.

　　Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in one’s own mother tongue can be used for a second language learning. They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game.“There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across，”they will say.“You have to practise guessing what the word means from the context.”

　　This method of guessing in a second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases，but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.

　　And what’s more，there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves. Our learners’ dictionaries usually have many meanings. A good dictionary is what makes self-learning possible.

　　Don’t guess! Look it up!

59．It is certain that the best way to learn new words is_____.

A．to learn them by oneself

B．to learn by living in an English-speaking world and using them frequently

C．to guess them from the context

D．to get more separate meanings of each word

60．The underlined word“them”in Paragraph 2 refers to_____.

A．the 30，000 words

B．English teachers

C．misunderstood words

D．frequently used words

61．Which of the following is most likely NOT true？

A．Some of the words the writer knows must have been misunderstood.

B．Most of the 30,000 words the writer learned are frequently used ones.

C．How many words the writer got wrong are not known.

D．All the words the writer knows were learned by reading them.

62．It can be inferred that_____.

A．when somebody is conscious，he or she usually can’t learn new words by heart

B．we must use the words as often as possible in order to master them

C．it’s the best way to learn new words that one should only guess their meanings from the context

D．only dictionaries can help us learn language well

第三部分 阅读理解（满分40分）

We spent a day in the country, picking wild flowers. With the car full of flowers we were going home. On our way back my wife noticed a cupboard (柜厨) outside a furniture shop. It was tall and narrow. “Buy it,” my wife said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof rack. I’ve always wanted one like that.”

What could I do? Ten minutes later I was ￡20 poorer; and the cupboard was tied on the roof rack. It was six feet long and eighteen inches square, quite heavy too.

In the gathering darkness I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed unusually polite that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.

After a while my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake, I wonder?” In fact a police car did overtake. The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed. But then, with great kindness, they led us through the rush-hour traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the officers came to me.

“Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help?” I was a bit puzzled. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You have been very kind. I live just on the road.”

He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the cupboard. “Well, well,” he said, laughing. “It’s a cupboard you’ve got there! We thought it was something else.”

My wife began to laugh. The truth hit me like a stone between the eyes. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a cupboard, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.

56. In fact the husband _______ the cupboard.

A. would like very much to buy                         B. badly wanted 

C. was glad to have bought                                D. would rather not buy

57. Other drivers didn’t overtake the couple’s car because _______.

A. the rush-hour traffic was too busy          B. they wanted to show their respect

C. their cars couldn’t run fast                            D. the couple were very important people

58. The police thought they were _______.

A. carrying a cupboard to the church                  B. sending flowers to their home

C. carrying nothing but a piece of furniture  D. going to attend a funeral at the church

59. What did the husband think of this matter? _______

A. It was very strange.                               B. He felt ashamed of it.

C. He took great pride in it.                               D. He was puzzled at it.

　　Friendship can deeply affect the physical and mental health of both men and women. Studies show that people who have no friends or who are lonely，are more likely to die earlier，get sick more often and suffer greater physical wear and tear（折磨）than those who have a support system of friends.

　　Sometimes，family members may be more likely to give you advice or tell you what you don’t want to hear. It may not be as good as a friend who will listen to you and guide you，but support your decisions anyway. The most important elements about friendship are those who suffer support and do not judge your decisions based on society.

　　One reason for the link between social support and good health practice seems to be that people who feel cared for by others are less stress-out and are protected against the symptoms（症状）of depression and loneliness.

　　Generally，women benefit most because of how they deal with stress. Women are more social in how they deal with stress than men, while men are more likely to have a“fight or flight”reaction.

　　Women also tend to have larger，denser social network，in which more people know each other and help each other, while men typically have smaller groups of friends and will rely on their wives or other important people for more support. While all these affect people psychologically（心理上），friendship brings comfort that reduces the ill effects of stress, and the sex difference also contributes to the difference in the length of one’s life time.

63．In the author’s opinion，a real friend should _____.

A．tell you what to do even if you refuse to hear it

B．try to persuade you to change your mind quickly

C．judge your decision according to his／her experience

D．give you advice but respect your own decision

64．Women benefit more from friendship than men because_____.

A．women are always cared for by more people than men

B．women are usually less stress—out when staying with others

C．women are more likely to solve problems with friends’ help

D．women can always keep more long-life friendship than men

65．According to the passage we can infer that _____.

A．it’s good for women to tell men what they should do or not

B．friends are always more important than family members

C．men don’t want to share their problems with many people

D．the trend that women can live longer makes them more relaxed

66．This passage mainly talks about _____.

A．why people should develop friendship

B．when friendship affects people’s health

C．people’s different attitudes towards friendship

D．the friendship which can make people live longer
