hurricane named hazel,girls named hazel are probably teased by their friends.to keep out of trouble,the weather bureau says,“any resemblance between hurricane names and the names of particular girls is purely accidental.” some women became angry because hurricanes are given their names,but many other women are proud to see their names make headlines.they dont even care that they are the names of destructive storms.because more women seem to like it than dislike it,the weather bureau has decided to continue using girls names for hurricanes.in some ways a hurricane is like a person.after it is born,it grows and develops,then becomes old and dies.each hurricane has a character of its own.each follows its own path through the world,and people remember it long after it gone.so it is natural to

getting familiar with them in the context or simply absorbing them without conscious effort. the best way to build a good vocabulary, therefore, is to read a great deal and to participate in a lot of good talks. there are relatively few words that we learn permanently by purposefully referring to dictionaries or keeping word lists. however, even those extra few are of value, and no one will make a mistake by working on developing a larger vocabulary. here are some suggestions of how to do it.read plenty of good books. when you come across a new word, or a new meaning of an old word, stop and see if you can understand it from its context. if you cant, and if you can manage without interrupting the thought of the book too much, look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody and then repeat its meaning to yourself a couple of times. if you are really conscientious(认真的), write the word and its meaning in a personal vocabulary list preferably using it in a sentence, or you can keep a special vocabulary notebook. go over the list from time to time. further, try to use a new word in writing or conversation a few times over the next several days.listen to good talks and be alert to new words you hear or to new meanings of words you already know. then treat them just as you treat the new words you read.learn and be alert to the parts of words: prefixes, suffixes and roots. knowing them enables you to make intelligent guesses about the meanings of words.if you are studying a foreign language, be alert to words in that language which relate to words in english. english has inherited(继承) or borrowed much of its vocabulary of 500 000600 000 words from latin, greek, french, spanish and german.【小题1】when you meet a new word in reading, what should you do?a. guess its meaning. b. ask somebody.c. look it up in a dictionary. d. all of the above.【小题2】according to this passage, the best way to build a good vocabulary is _.a. to remember a lotb. to read a great dealc. to take part in a lot of good talks d. both b and c【小题3】 the phrase “be alert to” in the third paragraph may best be replaced by “_”.a. look at b. pay attention to c. write down d. learn by heart【小题4】 in the fourth paragraph, the word “them” refers to _the parts of words b. prefixes c. suffixes d. rootshitler and the germans, an exhibition in berlins german historical museum which aims to investigate the society that created hitler, has seen more than 10,000 visitors walk through its doors since opening on friday.rudolf trabold, a spokesman for the museum, said there were 4,000 visitors to the exhibition on the first day alone. people visiting the exhibition said they had waited as long as one and a half hours to get in. ravi nair, a 73-year-old indian visitor, said: i had to queue for about an hour but it was worth it. the exhibition should help people in democratic countries realize that their vote is very valuable.trabold said “hitler and the germans” was so popular because it was the first exhibition to explain how a man who lived on the margins of society for 30 years, in viennas mens hostels, could become an almost mythical（神话的）leader of the german people. we are all affected by hitler, so it speaks to all of us and helps germans and foreigners to come to terms with the past. inge lonning, a 72-year-old tourist from norway said: i thought the exhibition was very impressive. i wanted to see it because i experienced the german occupation of norway as a small child, so its not just history for me. but not everyone was convinced there was something new to be learned from the exhibition. so much has been done about this period over the years, it was like, i knew this and i knew that, said canadian julien cayer, aged 28. i thought id find something new but i didnt. there has been widespread concern in the german media that the exhibition could become a magnet for neo-nazi admirers of hitler, but trabold said that although there had been some right-wing extremist visitors, they had not caused any problems.8what is the main idea of the passage?a. people have different attitudes to “hitler and the germans”.b. “hitler and the germans” attracts plenty of people.c. what effect “hitler and the germans” has on history.d. what people should learn from “hitler and the germans”.9“hitler and the germans” is open to _.a. remind people not to forget history. b. show how hitler was hated by peoplec. study the society that created hitler d. save money for economy growth10trabold thought “hitler and the germans” was so popular because _.a. help people in democratic countries realize that their vote is very valuableb. it was the first exhibition to explain how a man from the bottom of society becomes a leaderc. people can learn a lot from the exhibitiond. people have been affected by hitler11who experienced the german occupation according to the passage?a. inge lonning. b. ravi nair. c. rudolf trabold. d. julien cayer12what can we

have caused a lot of trouble.d. people visit “hitler and the germans” with variety of purposes.many people have been talking about the way in which the world will come to an end in 2012. everybody wants to find out if december 21, 2012 is the last day of the earth. the rumor has already been spreading for a very long time. the mayans prediction can account for the rumor. according to the rumor, the earth will experience dramatic changes in 2012 and the changes will be disastrous to all of the living creatures on earth. it is widely assumed that a planet x will return to orbit the solar system. the return of planet x will have a destructive effect on the solar system as well as on some planets including the neptune, the jupiter and the earth. planet x will cross into their orbits. theres a possibility that jupiter will change into a little sun at this time, so folks will be well placed to see two suns in the sky in 2012.the solar flares (耀斑) that occur in a 11-year cycle will reach their highest point in 2012. the powerful solar flares will affect the magnetic field of the earth and cause disasters. on december 21, 2012, the sun and the earth will line up in the same line at the equator(赤道). the winter solstice(冬至) only occurs once every 25,800 years. the events in the universe are signals that the world will come to an end. as a result of the solar flares, lots of disasters will happen that will destroy the face of the whole earth. scientists are making the guess primarily based on the mayan long count calendar. many films have been made about the end of the world including end game by alex jones and end clock: nostradamus 2012. the former provides insights about the way the world will become one state. after the world government is in place, its going to be easy to exterminate 80% of the people in the world. the rest will continue to live with assistance from advanced technology.no one knows whether the world will end on december 21, 2012: there is no clear answer until the day arrives. just as the mayans claim, it will not be the time for the world to end. instead, it will be the dawn of a fresh start.13 what is the passage mainly about? a. information about end-of-the-world predictions. b. different opinions about end-of-the-world predictions. c. some doubts about end-of-the-world predictions. d. destructive effects of the end of the world.14which of the following things will not happen if the end of the world really happens? a. humans will see two suns at the same time. b. the earth will look completely different. c. the earth and the moon will line up in the same line. d. the solar flares will become stronger than before.15the underlined word “exterminate” in paragraph 3 probably means “_”. a. saveb. killc. helpd. rule16what is the authors attitude to the rumor that the world will end? a. optimistic.b. sad.c. unconcerned.d. scared.6参考答案1【小题1】d【小题2】c【小题3】b【小题4】d【解析】2【小题1】c【小题2】c【小题3】a【小题4】b【小题5】d【解析】3c4d5a6b
