Take the sentence How do you do? for 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.Language do not just have different sounds, they are different in many ways. Its important to learn the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put 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 of the language and use it as the English speaker does.（1）According to 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（2）What s the writers opinion in learning English?A . Its difficult to understand different sounds.B . Its impossible to remember the word order.C . Its important to learn the rules in different ways.D . Its easy to learn the rules for word order.（3）If the speakers put words in a wrong order, _.A . it must be a right sentenceB . the listener cant understand the speakers sentence easilyC . the meaning of the sentence always changesD . the meaning of a sentence must be the same（4）Which of the following sentences has the same meaning as She only likes apples ?A . Only she likes apples.B . She doesnt like any fruits but apples.C . She likes fruit except apples.D . she doesnt like apples.（5）Which is the best title for this passage?A . Different Orders, Different MeaningsB . How to Speak EnglishC . How to Put English into Our Own LanguageD . How to Learn English10. （0分）If you need glasses to read this, you are among most of Chinese students. About four-fifths of high school students in China have poor eyesight(视力). And now more and more children in primary school need glasses, too.Two main reasons can cause poor eyesight: too much time spent indoors studying and too little time spent outdoors playing. Reading and writing for hours and hours, sometimes in poorly lighted rooms, causes eyesight to weaken. But students have to do this because there is so much pressure on them to succeed in school. They have less time to enjoy the sun.The sun, it turns out, is important in developing good eyesight. According to a study by Australian National University, Australian children and Chinese children have the same level of eyesight before they start school, but once they enter primary school, Chinese children only spend about an hour a day outside, while Australian children spend three to four hours each day in the sunshine. The result is that while about forty percent of Chinese primary school students need glasses, only three percent of Australian children do.And poor eyesight at a young age can have serious long term influence. As you get older, your eyesight can worsen.With all that in mind, dont you think its time to give your eyes a break?四、 词汇运用。 (共2题；共15分)11. （5分）用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，每词仅用一次（每空一词）。different talent little comfortable healthy（1）The old man sat _ in the living room.（2）A friend of mine is _ in dancing.（3）Young children need to sleep at_ nine hours every night.（4）Peter is much _ now, he can go to school.（5）Can you find the _ between the two pictures?12. （10分）单词拼写：根据短文内容和所给中文提示，在空白处写出单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。Tu Youyou, 84, is the woman who uses sweet wormwoods (青蒿) special power to help millions of lives.
