As soon as3 阅读理解（15分） AWhen you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language. Languages do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. Its important to master (掌握) the rules (规则) for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts words in a wrong order, the listener cant understand the speakers sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes. But sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesnt change. Lets see the difference between the two pairs of sentences. “She only likes apples.”“Only she likes apples.”“I have seen the film already.”“I have already seen the film.”When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit (精神实质) of the language and use it as the English speaker does. ( ) 21. From the passage we know that _when we are learning English. A. we shouldnt put every word into our own languageB. we should look up every word in the dictionaryC. we need to put every word into our own languageD. we must read word by word( ) 22. The writer thinks it is _ in learning English.

A. is the same as “Only she likes apples.” B. is different from “Only she likes apples.” C. means “She likes fruit except apples.”D. means “She doesnt like apples.”( ) 25. Which is the best title (标题) for this passage? A. Different Orders, Different Meanings B. How to Speak English C. How to Put English into Our Own Language D. How to Learn EnglishB Actually, at the time they seemed to be ordinary events, but now everything seems different. I had spent 10 years away from the place where I was born. Even though I made the decision to leave my country by myself, I miss a lot of things now. The person that brought me the happiest memories is my best friend. She is the greatest person in the world, and I am not exaggerating(吹嘘). She is kind, funny, polite, and always willing to listen, and has been a great friend. I always recall (回想) events from our childhood. I think about the school where we met in the first grade and went to until the 5th grade. I think about the talks we had and the things we did together. If someone wants me to describe our friendship, Id say we have been close friends for 17 years and we never got angry with each other. Its amazing, isnt it? I havent been able to do that with anybody else. Sometimes I even feel guilty. I miss her more than my own brothers and sisters. And of course besides those memories, my kids are number one in my life. I have plenty of beautiful memories with them, especially when they were born, which also turned out to be a sad moment for both of them because they were premature babies(早产儿).

It helps you remember who you are, where you live, what you have learnt and what you plan to do in the future.So, how can you improve your memory? It is important to exercise your brain. For example, you can do new things and change your daily habits. If you walk a different way to school or take a different bus, you will keep your brain active. You can try to memorize something new. You can try a Maths puzzle. You can also try to learn new skills or study a foreign language. Your brain gets lots of regular exercise if you do any of these things. If you live a healthy life, your memory will work better. You must have a balanced diet. You must give your brain enough time to rest. Unless you get enough sleep every night, you will not remember things well. If you want your brain to work well, you also need to relax. If you get too worried, your brain will slow down, and your memory will become less sharp.So, to improve your memory, you should exercise your brain, live a healthy life and stay relaxed.41.What does memory help you do?37.42.How do you exercise your brain?38.43.Will your memory work better,if you live a unhealthy life?3944.When will your brain slow down?45.How many ways can improve your memory?
