第1天 ALearning English is one of the few things I have been doing consistently over the past 16 years. Like most Chinese students, I started learning English because it was a compulsory (必修的) course in my middle school. More importantly, English was a central subject for the college entrance exam.At that time , studying English was not a pleasant experience for me . There was no fun in the process of learning . The focus of our English education was getting a good mark in exams . And nobody told me that the real meaning of studying mother language was communication.When I became a university student , I spent nearly half of my time on English . In fact , more than 90 percent of the job offer ads in Shanghai list “ proficiency (精通) as a main requirement.How did I improve my English ? People told me that TOEFL was very helpful and useful. As a result, I took a TOEFL training course and studied like mad. After six months preparation, I took part in the exam and got a high score . Later on , I had a chance to further my study in Britain . I soon discovered that all of my past English learning had been futile (没用的) . When I first went shopping in a local supermarket , I really could not understand what the cashier was saying at all.It was then that I realized I had totally missed the point . Instead of just passing exams , the main function of learning English or any other language is communication . What is more , lanuage does not exist independent of culture. Hence , mechanical memorization helps very little in communication. Thats why I was still unable to freely express myself after learning English for many years . By no means am I talented in any foreign language . I am still learing English . Why ?First and foremost , my job requires me to use English everyday . Secondly , English helps me to have access to more information . Thirdly , as a bookworm , English gives me a chance to dive into the huge pool of inspiring English books . Last but not least , it is such a great experience to write in another language . Indeed , English has become part of my life . 1. How did the writer find English when he was a student?A.

Lenin and his wife Krupskaya translated a long English book into Russian. But when they went to England in 1902, English people couldnt understand what was said to them. These days more and more foreigners are coming to China and more Chinese are going out to foreign countries to work or study. So the spoken language is becoming more and more important.Speaking, of course, cant go without listening. If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly. The sounds of the Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same. If you dont listen carefully, youll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers.Well, what about writing? Like speaking, its to exchange ideas. People generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing. The important thing is to make your idea clear in your head and then to write it in clear lively language.Chinese students read far too slowly. If you read fast, you understand better. If you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about. When you meet with new words, dont look them up in the dictionary. Guess the meaning from the context(上下文). You may not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meaning will become clearer and clearer. If you look up every word, youll never finish a book.Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language they are studying. They should study these subjects in theforeign language, not only in translation. In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time.1.

A. encourage rats to drink vitamins-enriched water B. find out rats preference in flavor C. test whether rats know which drink is good for them D. demonstrate the vitamins are tasteless6According to the passage ,adults eating habits differ from those of babies because_Aadults know better than babies what kind of food are good for their healthBadults usually cannot resist the temptation of various delicious foodsCadults eating habits are closely related to the social and cultural customsDadults have more choices of food than babies in eating patterns7The author implied in the passage that most of us_Aeat a balanced diet Bchoose the food that is of nutritionChave the habits influenced by the surroundings Dlike to eat the food with a fragrant flavor8As far as their eating habits are concerned, babies and rats are similar in that_Aboth have the wisdom to choose a balanced dietBboth prefer flavored food and drinkCboth have the same eating patternsDboth develop a taste for the same kinds of flavors 第3天 AEveryone wants some degree of success. Many people believe that they deserve (值得)success simply because they believe that they deserve success. But there is a widespread belief that people who get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it, but because of influential (有影响的) friends or the right background. Sometimes it may just be a comforting and harmless belief, while at the other extreme it can be very destructive. I once met a brilliant young engineer who worked in a chemical plant. Because of her knowledge and experience, she should have been promoted（升职） to Production Manager. Instead, the job went to a man who was totally unsuited for the post. Everyone knew that he only got it because he was politically acceptable to his superiors (上司). This injustice discouraged the young engineer and many of her colleagues（同事）. It also meant that the factory was much less efficient than it could have been.At the same, we should not be pessimistic (悲观的). More and more then modern world depends on having people who are in the job because they are good enough, not just because their faces fit. There is a story of a factory owner who sent for an engineer to see to a machine which would not go. He examined it, then took out a hammer and tapped, once. The machine started up immediately. When he presented his bill, the owner protested, “This cant be right! $ 100 just for tapping（敲打） a machine with a hammer ?” The engineer wrote out a new bill: “For tapping a machine, $1; for knowing where to tap. $99.”1. The engineer at the chemical plant was not promoted because _.A. it was politically less good for the boss to accept her than the manB. her boss did not think she had the right qualifications for the jobC. the man who got the promotion was more experienced than she wasD. it is more difficult for a woman to get a promotion than for her male colleague2. The engineer who repaired the machine was right in charging $ 100 because_.A. he hit the machine to get it started againB. the factory owner could not have repaired it himselfC. he was charging for his knowledge and expert skillsD. he was the only person who could find out what was wrong with it3. What can we learn about the authors attitude toward the widespread belief that “people get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it”?A. He quite agrees with it. B. He doesnt express his opinion his opinion at it.C. He completely disagrees with it. D. He doesnt quite agree with it.4. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?A. Having influential friends or right background seems helpful sometimes.B. The engineer had good reason to overcharge the factory owner.C. Not all those who are good in their jobs have the chance to be promoted.D. Those who are good in their jobs are still largely needed by the modern society.BEven as Americans have been gaining weight, they have cut their average fat intake from 36 to 34 percent of their total diets in the past 15 years. And indeed, cutting fat to control or lose weight makes sense. Fat has nine calories per gram. Protein and carbohydrates（碳水化合物） have just four. Moreover, the body uses fewer calories to metabolize fat than it does to metabolize other foods. Compared with protein and carbohydrates which break down into amino acids and simple sugars, respectively, and can be used to strengthen and energize the body dietary fat is more easily converted to body fat. Therefore, its more likely to stay on buttocks, thighs and bellies. But cutting fat from your diet doesnt necessarily mean your body wont store fat. For example, between nonfat and regular cookies, theres trivial difference in calories because manufacturers make up for the loss of fat by adding sugar. Low-fat crackers, soups and dressings can also be just as high in calories as richer versions. No matter where the calories come from, overeating will still cause weight again. The calories from fat just do it a little quicker. A Wisconsin computer programmer who decided with a diet coach to eat only 40 grams of fat a day learned the lesson firsthand. He wasnt losing weight. Then he showed his food diary to his coach and revealed hed been eating half a pound of jelly beans a day. “They dont have any fat,” he explains. But they had enough sugar to keep him from shedding an ounce. Nonfat foods become add-on foods. When we add them to our diet, we actually increase the number of calories we eat per day and gain weight. That was borne out in a Pennsylvania State University study. For breakfast, Prof. Barbara Rolls gave two groups of women yogurt（酵母乳） that contained exactly the same amount of calories. One groups yogurt label said “high fat”the other, “low fat.” The “low fat” yogurt group ate significantly more calories later in the day than the other group. “People think theyve saved fat and can indulge themselves later in the day with no adverse consequences,” says Richard Mattes, a nutrition researcher at Purdue University. “But when they do that, they dont compensate very precisely, and they often end up overdoing it.”5. What lessons did the computer programme learn ?A. Overeating will cause weight gainB. He can eat half a pound of jellybeans a dayC. He cant didnt eat any fatD. His coach gave him a lecture6. Prof. Barbaras ecperiement proved that _.A. two groups ate the same amount of caloriesB. two groups ate the same wmount of yogurtC. the “ low fat” yogurt group ate more calories later in the day than the other groupD. people increase the number of calories they eat per day and gain group7. According to the author ,_has less calories.A. fat B. protein and carbohydratesC. low-fat soups D. sugar8. What can you infer from the text ?A. To keep from being overweight, people have to eat nofat foodB. The calories from fat just do it a little quicker than from protein and carbohydratesC. People should avoid temptationD. Americans realize that it is necessary to count calories before eating the food第4天 AAsian athletes have had a spare time in the first two days of the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham, England. But Chinese hurdler(跨栏运动员) Liu Xiang surprised everyone by taking the bronze medal in the mens 60-meter hurdles. Liu became the first Chinese male athlete to get a world indoor medal in the 18-year history of the championship and was the only Asian medallist this time. Karaoke (卡拉OK)! Thats what Im going to do. Im going to get a big group of my friends together and sing. I love both Western and Chinese music but especially Michael Jackson, said Liu after clocking 7.52 seconds in the final to take his place on the podium (领奖台). Frankly speaking, I didnt think I was in the
