These three things are spelling, pronunciation and meanings.First, a dictionary will tell you the spelling of a word. If you are not sure about the spelling of a word, you can try to find the correct spelling in a dictionary. Words are listed in alphabetical order(按字母顺序)-a, b, c and so on. For example, on a dictionary page the word “poor”-p,o,o,r-comes before “poverty”-p,o,v,e,r,t,y-and the word “poverty” comes before the word “power”-p, o,w,e,r. The words are always given in alphabetical order.The second thing, a dictionary will tell you pronunciation. Most dictionaries give phonetic or sound alphabet. The phonetic spelling will tell you how a word is pronounced. There are a few different phonetic alphabets. Many dictionaries use the International Phonetic Alphabet to show pronunciation.The third thing, a dictionary will tell you the meanings of words. You can look up a word and find out what it means. Many words have more than one meaning, and a good dictionary will tell you all of the words meanings. For example, in English the common word “get” has over 20 different meanings.36. According to the passage, which of the following is one of the three important things?A. How to write a word wellB. How to use a wordC. How to make a sentenceD. How to read a word correctly37. Of the three words “remote” “remove” and “remount”, _ in a dictionary.A. “remount” comes first and “remove” comes lastB. “remove” comes first and “remote” comes lastC. “remote” comes first and “remove” comes lastD. “remove” comes first and “remount” comes last38. A good dictionary will tell you _.A. more of the words pronunciationB. more of the words meanings C. more of the words spellingD. more of grammar39. Phonetic alphabets are used to show_.A. spelling B. handwritingC. meanings D. pronunciation 40. This reading material is mostly intended for _. A. language teachersB. clerksC. language learnersD. grammar expertsC Listening to music can help me focus better. Since I discovered it two years ago, Ive used music to get through boring work or to focus creatively. Ive found that it can make even the dullest jobs enjoyable and help clear mental blocks to creativity. I first noticed the good effects of music while playing video games. It was a few days before Christmas in 2005 and I was playing online video games. My parents had just given me a new MP3, so I decided to listen to music through the headphones while I played. After a few minutes I noticed a great change in my style of play. I was playing more naturally. The music relaxed me, and, to a certain extent, distracted me from the game, allowing my subconscious (潜意识的) talent to come through. The music also helped me block out the outside world. With those headphones on I was like a machine, moving from one task to the next without unnecessary thoughts or actions.Music can also have a great effect on mood. If Im in a bad mood at work, Ill listen to some of Bob Marleys and get down to business. It always takes my mind off what Im doing and makes me a happier person. The same is true for classic rock. One summer, I did a boring job collecting bottle openers by hand. Without a radio playing classic rock in the background, I would have hated life. Listening to music with relaxing rhythms and a positive message helps you forget your work and think happy thoughts. But the results you see will depend heavily on your personal tastes. Experiment with the types of music you listen to during certain tasks. By trial and error youll finally discover your best choice. Im always looking for new concentration aids, so Id love to know what type of music works best for me.41. We can infer that the passage was written in _. A. 2005 B. 2006 C. 2007 D. 200842. The author first discovered the effects of music _. A. from his parentsB. by chance C. at workD. when he was a child43. Which of the following statements is NOT an effect of music for the author? A. It helps him block out the outside world. B. It arouses his subconscious talent. C. It helps his mind relax. D. It makes him work without any thought.44. The author mentions the experience of collecting bottle openers in Paragraph 3 to _. A. tell us that life is dullB. prove that music affects mood C. tell us how to seek happinessD. tell us bad mood can affect work45. In order to get the greatest effect of music, you are advised to _. A. listen to some of Bob MarleysB. only choose relaxing music C. test all kinds of musicD. listen to classic rock 第二卷（满分30分）第一节 单词拼写。 (共10 小题;每题1分,满分10分)根据汉语或首字母提示用正确单词的适当形式填空：1.
