阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

    Learn another language isn't easy, but most people can learn a second language well if they're willing to put in the necessary time. Here are some practical suggestions for studying effectively, overcoming anxiety, and learning the grammar and skills necessary for success in foreign language classes.

    Study every day

    Language lemming is cumulative: you cannot put it off until the weekend. Study one or two hours for every class hour if you want a good mark.

    Distribute your study time in 15 to 30 minutes period throughout the day

    Study a different task each time: vocabulary now, grammar next, etc. Get an overview during the first half hour: spend 10 minutes reviewing dialog, 10 minutes learning new vocabulary, 10 minutes learning new grammar… So you'll at least have looked at it all. About 80% of your study time should be spend on recitation (背诵) or practice.

    Attend every class — even if you aren't well prepared

    Class time is your best opportunity to practice, Learn the grammar and vocabulary outside of class in order to make full use of the class time. Spend a few minutes "warming up" before each class by speaking or reading the language.

    Make yourself comfortable in the classroom

    Get to know your classmates, so you'll feel you're among friends. Visit your teacher during office hours and explain your goals and fears about the course to your teacher.

    Learn grammar if you don't already know it

    Grammar is the skeleton (骨架) and the basic structure of a language, and you must learn it.

    Practice for tests by doing what you'll have to do on the test

    If the test will require you to write, then study by writing — including spelling and accents. If you' re asked to listen, practice listening. Ask for practice questions and make up your own test questions. Try to invent changes on patterns and forms. Over learning is also required in tests preparation: study beyond the paints of recognition to mastery.

    Develop a good attitude

Have a clear personal reason for taking the class. Set personal goals for what you want to learn. Leave perfectionism at the door; give yourself permission to make mistakes and learn from them.

56. What does the underlined word "cumulative" in "Paragraph 3" probably mean?

  A. process of gaining knowledge or skill by doing and seeing things

  B. having to do with comparison

  C. having ability to do what is needed

  D. increasing in amount by one addition after another

57. A good learner is one who _____ according to the passage.

  A. never permits himself to make mistakes

  B. can learn something from the mistakes he makes

  C. follows the goals that other persons set for themselves

  D. can get to know his classmates and doesn't take his teachers' advice

58. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Tips on studying a foreign language

B. Advice on how to learn grammar

C. Suggestions for studying vocabulary effectively 

D. How to make yourself comfortable in the classroom

B

    A graded reader is a book containing simplified languages used to help learners master the language. Readers come in different levels, from beginners to advanced. English learners need to choose a reader that is suitable for their level.

    Why use readers? Lots of research shows that extensive (广泛的) reading improves all aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, speaking skills, fluency (流利), writing skills and reading comprehension.

    Reading is a way of learning English without classes or a teacher. It helps develop learner independence. And while reading graded readers, learners don't have to run to a dictionary because the language is at their level.

    How do I get started? The entire class can read the same book or different books at different times.

    How do I know the fight level? If your class is all reading the same book, choose one that is appropriate for their level. If your students are reading different books, you can have a selection of books at different levels. In this case, don't worry too much about the level. A learner who is interested in detective stories might read a higher level book if the motivation (动机) is there.

    How to read the book depends on students' age, motivation and class time available. Some classes like to read silently, others like to read aloud in small groups and some enjoy being read to by the teacher. Be sensitive to the class and ask for their opinions.

    Some pre-reading activities are needed. Before students open a book, it is important to spark interest in the story and in the whole process of reading. For example, ask them to guess what the story is from cover, chapter titles and let students put them in the best order, or discuss the author.

During reading, choose a suitable chapter or chapters that can be broken down to make a comic strip (连环漫画). Or students select a part of the book to make into a radio play. Students can also become journalists and report on parts of the story. Choose a piece of action and have students write it up. Besides, students can role-play an interview with a character.

59. The underlined word "appropriate" in the fifth paragraph probably means "________".

  A. famous               B. suitable               C. ordinary              D. enjoyable

60. Who do you think the passage is written mainly for?

  A. Students.             B. Parents.               C. Teachers.            D. Pupils.

61. When do you think students can become journalists and report on parts of the story?

  A. Before reading.       B. During reading.    C. During warming up.   D. Before a test.

62. From the passage, we can infer that _______.

  A. readers can make classroom fun

  B. reading can help develop learners dependence

  C. some pre-reading activities are not needed

  D. extensive reading improves all aspects of language learning

C

  Today, there are many avenues open to those who wish to continue their education. However,

nearly all require some break one’s career order to attend school full time. Part-time education ,

that is，attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the process out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people.

Besides，such programs require a fixed time commitment，which can also negatively affect one’s career and family time. Of the many approaches to teaching and learning，however，per-haps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning.

Distance learning is an educational method，which allows the students the flexibility to study at his or her own pace to achieve the academic goals, which are so necessary in today’s world.

Besides，the student may enroll in distance learning courses from actually any place in the world，while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial assistance may be available via

 regular airmail，telephone，facsimile machine，teleconferencing and over the Internet.

Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject evaluation tool. with every subject. This precludes the requirement for a student to travel away from home

to take a test. Another characteristic of a good distance-learning program is the same as of the

distance-learning course with the same subject materials as those students taking the course on

the home campus.

The degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is em-    ployed. The individuality of the professor／student relationship is another characteristic of a    good distance-learning program.

In the final analysis，a good distance learning program has a place not only for the individual students but also the corporation or business mat wants to work in partnership. With their employees for the educational benefit，professional development，and business growth of the organization.

Sponsoring(赞助的)distance-learning programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of keeping career-minded people while contributing to their personal and professional

growth through education.

63. According to the passage，which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of part-time education?

A. It requires some break in one’s career.

B. It tends to last too long for many people to complete a degree program.

C. It affects one’s career

D. It gives the student less time to share with t11e family.

64. What benefit will distance—learning program bring to a business ?

A. Employment of more talented people.        B. Good image of the business.

C. Better cooperation with universities.  D. Further training of employees and business growth.

65. What benefit will distance learning bring to an employee of a business?

A. Professional growth                              B. Good relationship with the employer.      

C. Good impression on the employer.          D. Higher salary.

66. Which is not the characteristic of distance learning?

A. It includes a subject evaluation tool with every subject.

B. Its course uses the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the

  home campus.

    Healthy knees aren't the main consideration in choosing high heels, but new research says large and thick heels are just as bad for the knees as spindly stilettos (细高跟鞋). "It takes a long time to feel the effects of knee osteoarthritis (骨关节炎) — and once you do, it is too late," said Dr. Casey Kerrigan, leading researcher of the study and associate professor at Harvard Medical School's department of physical medicine. " I compare it to smoking — one cigarette is not painful, but over a lifetime it is. Wide-heeled shoes feel comfortable, so women wear them all day long, "Kerrigan said. "They are better for your feet than stiletto heels, but just as bad for your knees."

    In the study, researchers had twenty women wear two pairs of shoes with three-inch heels, one with a narrow heel and the other with a thick one. The scientists compared how much pressure was put on the women's knees by both types of shoes. The women also walked barefoot to test normal pressure. The scientists found that both types of shoes applied equal amounts of pressure to the knees. Compared with walking barefoot, the heels increased pressure on the inside of the knee by 26 percent. Increased pressure on the knee eventually leads to arthritis, experts say.

The idea that high heels are bad for your health isn't new — scientists have warned women for years that they contribute to problems ranging from corns to hammer toes, tendonitis, knee pain, sprained (扭伤) ankles and back problems. But in 1998,Kerdgan and a team of Harvard researchers were the first to link high heels and knee osteoarthritis, a painful joint disease that destroys cartilage (软骨) surrounding the knee. The first study looked only at stiletto heels, and Kerrigan said she wanted to study the thick high-heeled shoes she noticed many women wearing. "This study confirms what we all intuitively (直觉地) know that high-heeled shoes of any kind are not good for our health," said Dr. Glenn Pfeifer, a San Francisco doctor and member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons who was not connected to the study.

71. We learn from the passage that women choose large and thick heels because _______.

  A. they want to walk comfortably

  B. thick heeled shoes are cheaper than stiletto heeled pairs

  C. thick heels do less harm to knees

  D. thick heels are not painful at ail

72. The study mentioned in the second paragraph found that _______.

  A. pressure on the foot is caused by high heels

  B. the pressure is abnormal while walking barefoot

  C. arthritis is always caused by pressure on the knees

  D. both types of shoe have the same harm to the knees

73. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

  A. people got to know the high heels are bad for health recently

  B. people have known the high heels are bad for health for years

  C. people haven' t known the high heels are bad for health yet

  D. people will be warned that the high heels are bad for health soon

74. Kerrigan's late study looked at the large and thick high-heeled shoes because _______.

  A. they feel more comfortable    B. they are related to knee osteoarthritis

  C. they are worn by many women   D. they are different from stiletto heels

75. The best title for the passage may be ________.

  A. Taking Healthy Knees into Consideration    B. High-heels Do Harm to Knees

  C. Thick Heels and Stiletto Heels             D. When Wearing High-heels

One possible version:

Dear editor,

    I'm a student in Senior Three. We have made a survey — "Who do you turn to when in trouble?" Here are the results.

    Most of the students will go to their classroom or friends when in trouble they're almost of the same age, so they can talk with and understand each other easily. Some students will tell their teachers or parents about their troupes and ask for their help as the teachers and parents have rich experience and love them very much. They can be trusted by these students. Only a few students solve their problems all by themselves. They hate to talk with others and can' t get on well with others. They have few friends.

    In my opinion, when in trouble we' d better ask our teachers, parent, friends or classmates for help.

   Yours,

    Li Hua
