11、s followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should write the answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1An English dictionary is the most important thing you will need when learning English. A good dictionary will help you learn

12、hundreds of new words, improve your pronunciation and grammar.When you think of a dicti on ary, you usually think of a bilin gual dicti onary, such as an English-German dictionary and a French-English dictionary. There is also another kind of dictionary: an English-English (monolingual) dictionary.

13、Such a dictionary is written only in English. English words are defined or explained in English. English-English dictionaries are better than bilingual dictionaries in that English definitions are real English phrases with grammar and words.There are two kinds of English-English dictionaries: dictio

14、naries for learners and dictionaries for native speakers. Dictionaries for native speakers are used by Americans, Britons, etc. to look up very difficult words, such as tintinnabulation.Dictionaries for learners are used by people who are learning English as a second Ianguage. Dictionaries for nativ

15、e speakers usually have more words than dictionaries for learners, but the definitions are complicated, and there are fewer example sen tences.If possible, get a software dictionary instead of a paper one. Software dictionaries let you look up words very quickly. Whats more, a computer dictionary ha

16、s more space than a paper one, so it can give more information or it can present the same information in a clearer way. In many software dictionaries, you can listen to recordings, too.A good dictionary must give example sentences for every word. Example sentences are not just helpful 一 they are act

17、ually more important than definitions. While a definition tells you the meaning of a word and sometimes gives you some grammatical information, example sentences can have more advantages. They let you check if youve understood the definition correctly, show you how to use a word in sentences and pro

18、gram your brain to produce correct English sentences.It is a good idea to have at least two dictionaries: a large one to use at home, and a small one to carry with you. It is an even better idea to have at least two large dictionaries. Two example sentences are better than one. With more examples, y

19、ou have a more complete picture of how a word is used and you can express more in English better.Which of the following statements about dictionaries is NOT true?A Chinese-English dictionary is a bilingual dictionary.Definitions in bilingual dictionaries are real English phrases with grammar and wor

20、ds.English words in English-English dictionaries are defined or explained in English.English words in English-English dictionaries are not translated.If you are a Chinese college student, and favor as many example sentences as possible to learn English words, what kind of dictionary will be the best

Dictio

22、naries for learners.C. Dictionaries for native speakers.D. No hint to reveal its meaning.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?Typing a word on a keyboard is faster than turning pages in a large, heavy dicti onary.Software dictionaries rather than paper ones can tell you

23、 how to pronounce a word.A paper dictionary can provide more information than a software one.A computer dictionary can present the same information in a clearer way than a paper one.Why are example sentences more important than definitions?It is not definition but example sentences that can provide

24、some grammaticalin formatio n.Example sentences can help you check whether the definition of a word is correct or not.Example sentences can help you learn the usage of a word.Example sentences can program your brain to pronounee English sentences correctly.Passage 2Mind over matter is an English say

25、ing meaning that we can control our bodies with our minds. Now scientists are fin ding more increasing evidence that our mind can have a great effect on our physical health. Since our mind influences how we feel, its impossible to say that some one is iH just b e cause he feels ill.The influence of

26、the mind on how we feel is the basis of what is known as the placebo effect. A placebo (which is Latin for I shall please.)is a harmless, inactive substanee. Patients are sometimes given placebo pills and begin to feel better because they believe that they have been given real drugs and expect to re

27、spond to them. The placebo effect is very strong: research on pain suggests that up to 30% of the effect of most painkillers is a placebo effect.So if its so powerful, why dont doctors use it today?According to Dr. Persaud, they really do. All these things like wearing a white coat, going to a hospi

28、tal, being scanned have a very strong placebo effect,he says.The English saying ,1mind over matter means that.sound mind is more imports nt than good healthour mind has strong effect on our bodyour physical health has no thing to do with our mindmental health mainly depends on physical healthAccordi

29、ng to the first paragraph, if you feel ill,.you dont need to see a doctoryou are still in good conditionit doesnt necessarily mean that you are physically illare not real drugsC. can relieve all kinds of painD.may make patients feel worseThe placebo effect is based on.a response of the body to drugs

30、a harmless, inactive substancethe constant use of some special drugsthe influe nee of our minds on our bodiesFrom the passage it can be seen that there will be no placebo effect if apatient.is dressed in whitehas a physical examtakes sugar pillssees a doctorPassage 3If you are a male and you are rea

31、ding this, congratulations: you are a survivor. According to statistics, you are more than twice as likely to die of skin cancer than a woman, and nine times more likely to die of AIDS. Assuming you make it to the end of your natural term, about 78 years for men in Australia, you will die on average

32、 five years before a woman.There are many reasons for this, typically, men take more risks than women and are more likely to drink and smoke but perhaps more importantly, men dont go to the doctor.Men arent seeing doctors as often as they should, says Dr.Gullotta, This is particularly so for the ove

33、r-40s, when diseases tend to strike. ”Gullotta says a healthy man should visit the doctor every year or two. For those over 45, it should be at least once a year.Two months ago, Gullotta saw a 50-year-old man who had delayed doing anything about his smokers cough for a year.Whe n I fin ally saw him

34、it had already spread and he has since died from lung cancer, he says, Earlier detection and treatment may not have cured him, but it would have prolonged his life.According to a recent survey, 95% of women aged between 15 and early 40s see a doctor once a year, compared to 70% of men in the same ag

35、e group.A lot of men think they are invincible（不可戰勝的），” Gullotta says. They only come in when a friend drops dead on the golf course and they think, Geez, if it couldhappen to him,Then there is the ostrich approach, some men are scared of what might be there and would rather not know, says Dr. Ross

36、Cartmill.Most men get their cars serviced more regularly than they service their bodies, Cartmill says. He believes most diseases that comm only affect men could be addressed by preventive check-ups.Regular check-ups for men would inevitably place strain(緊張)on the public purse, Cartmill says. llBut

37、prevention is cheaper in the long run than having to treat the diseases. Besides, the ultimate cost is far greater： it is called premature death.Why does the author congratulate his male readers at the beginning of the passage?They are more likely to survive serious diseases today.Their average life

38、 span has been considerably extended.They have lived long enough to read this article.They are sure to enjoy a longer and happier life.What does the author state is the most important reason men die five years earlier on average than women?Men drink and smoke much more than women.Men dont seek medic

39、al care as often as women.Men arent as cautions as women in face of dan ger.Men are more likely to suffer from fatal diseases.Which of the followi ng best completes the sente nee Geez, if it could happen tohim,?

40、elf luckyit would be a big misfortuneWhat does Dr. Ross Cartmill mean by the ostrich approach?(line 1, Para.9)a casual attitude towards ones health conditionsa new therapy for certain psychological problemsrefusal to get medical treatment for fear of the pain involvedunwillingness to find out about

41、ones disease because of fearWhat does Cartmill say about regular check-ups for men?They may in crease public expe nsesThey will save money in the long runThey may cause psychological strains on menThey will enable men to live as long as womenPassage 4A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece

42、 of reading. It is remarkable first for what it con tains: the range of news from local crime to in ternational politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features （特寫）as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of bo

43、oks, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and not glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A g

44、ood modern newspaper offers variety to attract many different readers, but far more than nay one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality （時事,性），its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now, but immediacy and the spe

45、ed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what papers in a newspaper has no more than transient （短暫的）value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that days paper, his own selection and sequenee, h

46、is own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you n eed but without wasti ng time, dema nds skill and self-aware ness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.A modern newspaper is remarkable for a
