Most dictionaries will tell you a number of things about a language. There are three important things. These three things are spelling, pronunciation and meanings.
First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a world. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in alphabetical order—a,b,c and so on. For example, on a dictionary page the word “poor”—p,o,o,r – comes before “poverty”—p,o,v,e,r,t,y—and the word “poverty” comes before “ power”—p,o,w,e,r. The words are always given in an alphabetical order.
The second thing, a dictionary will tell you pronunciation. Most give phonetic, or sound, alphabet. The phonetic spelling will tell you how a word is pronounced. There are a few different phonetic alphabets. Many dictionaries use the International Phonetic Alphabet to show pronunciation.
The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meaning of words. You can look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will tell you all of the word’s meaning. For example, in English the common word “get” has over 20 different meanings.
【小题1】In the passage, which of the following is among the three important things?

A.How to write a word well.
B.How to use a word.
C.How to make a sentence.
D.How to read a word correctly.
【小题2】Of the three words "remove", " remote" and "remount", _____ in a dictionary.
A."remote" comes first and "remove" comes last
B."remove" first and "remote" last
C."remote" first and "remove" last
D."remove" first and "remount" last
【小题3】Many words have ______.
A.several meanings
B.few meanings
C.one meaning
D.no meaning
【小题4】A better dictionary can tell you _____.
A. more of word's pronunciation
B. more of the word's meanings
C more of the word's spelling.
D more of grammar
【小题5】Phonetic alphabets are used to show _____.

【小题4】B

As we all know, Chinese students are hard-working. But they’re     at the same time.
At school, they have to follow the strict school    . For example, they      have long hair or wear strange (奇怪的) clothes.
And at home, they’re always busy with their homework and they don’t have any free time to do what they like. Once (一旦) they don’t do well in exams, their parents will lose         for them.
On weekends, their parents tell them to take part in different classes they don’t like. They always feel          and bored. They        interest in school things slowly. Some students can’t       it and leave home. Because their parents only care about children’s study and they never       what they want.
“Many students can do nothing       study. Some students even don’t know      to get on well with others and how to take care of others,”said an expert (专家).
“This is a serious problem. It’s necessary for us to think it over and solve it well,”said another expert.

I have always wanted to share this story because it is one of the things that I will remember for my whole life. And I’m sure the other person feels the same.
We had a new teacher in my middle school World History class. She was very nice and excited to see us. She told a story about her       fighting in a war and brought a picture of him. After about fifteen      of her talking, the class started talking softly to each other    they were getting bored. Looking       , she asked “So, you guys don’t really want to hear any more?” No one dared to say “no” to her loud      one kid. He said, “No, not really!”     a disrespectful(无礼的) way. Some kids were a little      and thought that it was rather rude.
I felt really bad for this teacher. No one should be    in such a disrespectful manner. Therefore, near the end of the class I went up and said      to her for the guy’s rude behavior. I told her I had been listening, and even though I may not really like    , I was grateful to her for sharing her story. I asked her      about her father and asked to see the picture of him. We had a very nice, sincere conversation about her father.
The teacher was touched. She thanked me for coming up and actually treating her with the respect(尊敬) that she deserved. I felt at full peace with         knowing that I did the right thing and I was super happy that I made her day. Even though I didn’t really care for history, I      listened, and I hope that others in different situations will do the same. Listening means a lot to the people sharing; it really      . If I had just left the class without saying a word, I would have felt very      and would have a constant reminder, probably to this day, that justice(公义) was not served and I had left a person in their time of need.

Do you know why different animals or pests(害虫)have their special colours? Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts, but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of colouring is protecting themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the tree.
Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, the enemies cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it isn’t strong at all.
【小题1】From the passage we can learn that locusts _______.

A.are small animals
B.are easily found by birds
C.are dangerous to their enemies
D.change their colours to protect themselves
【小题2】Bears and lions can keep safe because they_______.
A.have the colours much like the trees
B.move quickly
C.like brown and grey colours
D.live in forests
【小题3】Why can the fish mentioned in the last paragraph live up to now?
A.Because it is very strong.
B.Because the liquid it sends out can help it get away from its enemies.
C.Because the liquid it sends out can kill its enemies.
D.Because it swims faster than any other fish.
【小题4】Which is the best title for this passage?
A.The Change of Colours for Animals and Pests
B.Colours of Different Animals and Pests
C.The Main Use of Colours for Animals and Pests
D.Some Animals and Pests

Once there was a man travelling in a faraway village. As he was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped. He found that these huge elephants were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains(锁链), no cages. It was clear that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their ropes but for some reason, they did not.
He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and didn’t try to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they still believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can hold them, so they never try to break free.”
How could it be? These animals could at any time break free from their ropes. But because they were always stuck(固定) right where they were, they believed they couldn’t.
Just like the elephants, how many of us go through life believing that we cannot do something, just because we failed at it once before?
We should never give up the struggle(斗争) in life.
【小题1】Why do the elephants never try to break free from the ropes?

A.Because they think they can not..
B.Because they are too old to do it.
C.Because they like their living places.
D.Because they get on well with the trainer.
【小题2】How did the man feel after he heard what the trainer said?
A.Moved. B.Surprised.
C.Angry. D.Nervous.
【小题3】Which of the following is the missing part(空白处) in the last paragraph?
A.Failing is part of learning
B.We should be different from others
C.Helping animals is helping ourselves
D.Travelling always makes people relaxed
【小题4】What is the best title for this text?
A.A Pleasant Trip B.A Cruel Trainer

If the rose can be said to be a special flower, then the apple can be said to be a special fruit. It is very important in American culture. American stories speak of Johnny Appleseed, who went throughout America collecting apple seeds and planting apple trees. He had a great love for nature and went through fields and farms adding richness and beauty to the country.
One of the first sayings taught to school children is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” This short saying encourages children to eat fresh fruit to keep healthy. If someone always says good words to a person, people will call him an “apple polisher”. This, however, is not a good name. If someone is very dear to us, we say that he or she is the “apple of our eye”.
Most people believe that the fruit which Eve gave to Adam was an apple, even though the Bible(圣经) never says so. The apple, therefore, is a deep part of the language and stories of America.
An apple is also delicious. Apples can be cooked in many ways, used as a dessert, and made into sweet juice.
In many parts of the country during the harvest season, a popular activity is to go into an apple garden to pick apples. Washington, D. C. and New York are both famous for
their apples.
Finally, when it’s time to take a vacation to American cities, one can always visit New York, which is “the biggest apple” of all the American cities.

【小题1】What does the underlined phrase “apple polisher” mean?

A.Something for cutting apples.
B.A person who likes to please others.
C.A person who is dealing with fruits.
D.A machine for cleaning apples quickly.
【小题2】“An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is a proverb about ____________.
A.cookingB.medicine
C.shoppingD.health
【小题3】Which of the following is TRUE with apples?
A.Apples are medicine.
B.Apples are the most important food.
C.New York is famous for its big apples.
D.The Bible says Adam was given an apple.
【小题4】The passage is mainly about___________.
A.stories about the apple
B.apples in American culture
C.some famous sayings of the apple
D.big cities that is famous for apples
