minutes of sleep for children is a small price to 45 for the advantages information technology has 46 into modern life, right? wrong!it has robbed children 47 sleep and much more. imagination, for

astudents who say they never or hardly ever used dictionaries often speak english well but usually write poorly, because they make many mistakes.the students who use dictionaries most do not learn especially well either. the ones who look up every new word do not read fast. therefore they do not have time to read much. those who use small two-language dictionaries have the worst problems. their dictionaries often give only one or two words as translations of english. but one english word often has many translations in a foreign language and one foreign word has many translations in english.the most successful students are those who use large college edition dictionaries with about 100,000 words but do not use them too often. when they are reading, these students first try to get the general idea and understand new words from the context. then they reread and use the dictionary to look up only key words that they still do not understand. they use dictionaries more for writing. if they are not sure how to spell a word, or divide it into syllables (音节), they always use a dictionary. also, if they think a noun might have an unusual plural form, they check these in a dictionary.56. the writer tends to think that_. a. it is very important for students to use good dictionaries properly b. dictionaries are not necessary to the students who learn english c. choose a good dictionary, and youll be successful in learning english d. using dictionaries very often cant help to improve writing57. according to the passage, which of the following is wrong? a. dictionaries have little effect on learning to speak english. b. small two-language dictionaries have serious defects (缺陷). c. whatever new words you meet while reading, never use dictionaries. d. reading something for the first time, youd better not use dictionaries.58 this passage mainly tells us_. a. that students shouldnt use small two-language dictionaries b. what dictionary students should choose and how to use it c. why students should use large college edition dictionaries d. what were the defects of small two-language dictionaries59. which is not mentioned in this passage? a. how to make good use of a dictionary. b. when to use a dictionary. c. how to practise reading fast. d. how to improve spoken english. bi was 9 years old when i found out my father was ill. it was 1994, but i can

himself. but when i was 12, his condition worsened. my fathers other children lived far away, so it fell to me to look after him.we couldnt afford all the necessary medication for him, and because dad

figure out how i was going to manage.i did not share my burden (负担) with anyone. i had seen how people reacted to aids. kids laughed at classmates who had parents with the disease. and even adults could be cold. when my father was moved to the hospital, the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.i had known that he was going to die, but after so many years of keeping his condition a secret, i wasnt completely prepared when he reached his final days. sad and hopeless, i called a woman at the nonprofit national aids support. that day,

fathers disease a secret?a. she was afraid of being looked down upon.b. she thought it was shameful to have aids.c. she found no one willing to listen to her.d. she wanted to obey her mother.63. the

november 1, 2012 (cnn) - after years of planning and months of campaigning（竞选活动）, the most expensive presidential race in history comes down to a final five-day phase of speeches and television ads in the eight states.president barack obama and republican challenger mitt romney plan to hold nonstop events between now and the tuesday election considered too close to call.the focus is on states worth 95 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win. both sides are trying to close the deal with a decreasing number of uncommitted(未表态的) voters, while making sure supporters actually cast ballots.that means a game of campaign chess that started thursday, with appearances by the candidates (候选人)and their assistants as well as advertising dollars allocated to the places considered most vital to success.concluding a race expected to cost more than $6 billion overall, obama and romney and their running mates will hit all the battleground states - colorado, florida, iowa, ohio, new hampshire, nevada, virginia and wisconsin. the campaigns also are unloading a blast of television ads and mailings that threaten to overwhelm voters already saturated with politicking. perhaps no one said it better than 4-year-old abigael evans of fort collins, colorado, who - according to npr - cried after listening to more election coverage on the radio and told her mother, im tired of barack obama and mitt romney.64. from the passage we know that the campaign _.a. is held only in eight states. b. comes to its last stage c. is at the beginning d. is a tv show65. what is the focus of the last-5 -day

ideal weight. yesterday, dr ian campbell of the jenny craig weight management program said, in the uk 61.4 percent of adults are overweight or obese. successful weight management requires a long-term commitment in order to lose weight successfully and for good. dieting can be a real challenge so setting realistic goals and remaining focused on them is important. otherwise as this research shows, women could end up heavier than when they started. the “food, body, mind” report was publicized by jenny craig who quizzed 2000 women aged between 18 and 65 who diet regularly on their attitudes,
