Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimetres (1 foot) across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green. Bamboo has been used to make many things such as hats and kitchen tools. Because it is strong, bamboo is also used to build buildings. Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for buildings and supporting new buildings and bridges while they are being built. In Africa, poor farmers are taught how to find water using bamboo.

His mother took him to see the famous showman, p. t. Barnum. Mr. Barnum thought a small person would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charless parents along with him, and they traveled the world together. He gave the two-foot tall Charles a new name. General Tom Thumb. He taught Tom how to sing, dance, act, and tell jokes. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England. During the show, Tom acted fighting against tall people. He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall. Toms act was very popular and brought in a lot of money. By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich. He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty-five. Fortunately for Tom, Mr. Barnum added more little people to his show, and Tom became lucky in love as well. One of the little people was Lavinia Warren, a school teacher. Tom was able to win her love, and they married. The ceremony and reception were the talk of the town. They were attended by many rich and famous people and by about two thousand guests.

You look up every new word in the dictionary. Bad move. All that does slow you down. Even electric or CD ROM dictionaries can get in the way of your reading progress. A dictionary is like a road map. It can help you if you get lost and point you in the right direction. But if you stop to look at the “map” each time you take a step, youll get nowhere fast. On your English learning “journey”, a dictionary can be a helpful “travel companion”-if it is not overused. To help you start thinking in English, use an English-to-English dictionary. Otherwise, you will always depend on your native language and end up translating in your head. A good dictionary can help you do more than just find the meaning of a word. It can help you verify (test and check) spelling, check word forms and grammar usage, find example sentence and learn pronunciation. Some dictionaries even provide exercises to teach you how to use their resources. Take time to get to know your dictionary. Learn the pronunciation symbols. Understand what the abbreviations (缩写字) mean. Try to master the important grammar rules. Look for charts, diagrams and lists that might be useful in the future. You will discover how helpful it can be to make friends with your dictionary. And as they say, “A friend in need is a friend indeed.”68. Why do we need a good English-to-English dictionary?A. Because it is a good friend.B. Because it can help us to find the right direction if we get lost.C. Without it well always depend on our native language and end up translating in our head.D. Because it can help us to start thinking in English and in Chinese.69. The underlined word “that ” in the last paragraph refers to _.A. pronunciation symbols and grammar rulesB. abbreviations and usage for grammar rulesC. the meaning of a word, spelling and grammar usageD. charts, diagrams and lists70. According to the passage , which statement can lead you to believe?A. The more you use a dictionary, the better you can understand the article.B. The more you use a dictionary, the faster you may read.C. The more you use the resources in a dictionary, the more you can benefit from it.D. The better a dictionary is, the more expensive it is. 卷 （共35分）第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题,每空一词，每小题1分，满分10分）This year, about 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about 10 months in US homes.
