Students who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries may speak English well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes. The students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. The ones who look up every new word do not read fast. Therefore they do not have time to read much. Those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. Their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of English. But one English word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in English. The most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. When they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. Then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. They use dictionaries more for writing. If they are not sure how to spell a word, they always use a dictionary. Also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check this in a dictionary. 1.The writer thinks that . A. choose a good dictionary, and you’ll be successful in learning English B. dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn English C. it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly D. using dictionaries very often can’t help to improve writing 2. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG? A. Dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak English. B. Whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries. C. Small two-language dictionaries have serious shortcomings. D. Reading something for the first time, you’d better not use dictionaries. 3. When in the reading does the writer advise students to use a good dictionary? A. At the beginning of the reading B. At the end of the reading C. During the first reading D. After the first reading 4. This passage mainly tells us . A. that students shouldn’t use small two-language dictionaries B. what were the shortcomings of small two-language dictionaries C. why students should use large college edition dictionaries D. what dictionary students should choose and how to use it

Good sportsmanship occurs when teammates, opponents（对手）, coaches, and officials treat each other with respect. Kids learn the basics of sportsmanship from the adults in their lives, especially their parents and their coaches. Kids who see adults behaving in a sportsmanlike way gradually come to understand that the real winners in sports are those who know how to keep on trying and to behave well - whether they win or lose a game. Parents can help their kids understand that good sportsmanship includes both small gestures and heroic efforts. It starts with something as simple as shaking hands with opponents before a game and includes acknowledging good plays made by others and accepting bad calls gracefully. Showing good sportsmanship isn't always easy: It can be hard to congratulate the opposing team after losing a close or important game. But the kids who learn how to do it will benefit in many ways. A child who bullies or laugh at others on the playing field isn't likely to change the behavior when in the classroom or in social situations. In the same way, a child who practices good sportsmanship is likely to carry the respect (尊重) and appreciation of other people into every other aspect of life The best coaches - and parents - encourage their kids to play fair, to have fun, and to concentrate(专心于) on helping the team while improving their own skills. 1.The most important feature of good sportsmanship is ______. A. respecting others. B. concentrating on winning C. improving one’s own skills. D.beating the opposing team 2.Which of the following is NOT the behavior of good sportsmanship? A. Shaking hands with opponents B. Playing on the field like heroes. C. Praising good playing of others D. Accepting unfriendly viewers’ opinions 3. As a child with good sportsmanship, he / she will ______. A. treat winning as the most important thing. B. be proud of the success of his / her team C. look down on others’ playing skills. D. not get discouraged when defeated 4.It can be inferred from the passage ______. A. a child who bullies others can’t play well on the field. B. the real winners are those who play with best skills. C. a child with good sportsmanship behaves well in society D. it is simple and easy to show one’s good sportsmanship

The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.” “If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.” “I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.” I looked down on the computer and every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I asked her, “What do all your people do?” “We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.” “So when it goes down, you go down with it.” “That’s good, sir.” “How long will the computer be down?” I wanted to know. “I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.” After the girl told me they had no backup computer, I said. “Let’s forget the computer. What about your planes? They’re still flying, aren’t they?” “I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.” “Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he’s flying to Washington, ” I suggested. “I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.” “Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?” “I wouldn’t know, ” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’ knows. ‘It’ can’t tell me.” By this time there were quite a few people standing in line. The word soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage. 1.The best title for the article is _______. A. When the Computer Is Down B. The Most Frightening Words C. The Computer of the Airport D. Asking the Computer 2. What does the underlined words“ backup computer” probably mean? A. A computer that will be brought back soon. B.A second-hand computer that is still in use. C. An advanced computer that never breaks down.. D. A computer ready for use when the main one does not work. 3. The last paragraph implies that _______. A. a modern computer won’t be down. B. computers can take the place of humans C. sometimes a computer may bring suffering to people D. there will be great changes in computers
