learn English well This is a question many students ask In my opinion the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart If you can recite the text and write it out you ve learned it fairly well And if you can tell in your own words what the lesson says you re a very successful learner indeed Your English will be quite perfect This is a difficult task However if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson you ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought Learning this way you will make rapid progress Of course writing is also necessary It helps you a lot on our way to success in English Equally important is to feel the language You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news When using English you should try to forget your mother tongue Instead of helping you your own language gets in your way So never try to see English through translation 61 In the writer s opinion the most effective way in learning English is A To practice speaking writing and feeling it B To forget your own native language C To translate everything into his own language D To memorize the English words and grammatical rules 62 Instead of helping you your own language gets in your way This sentence means that memorizing your own language can A Help you to study English well B Stop you mastering English C Make English easy to learn D Help you notice mistakes 63 Equally important is to feel the language to feel the language here means A To get a knowledge of English by touching B to be able to read and write English C To translate English into your own by imagining D To be able to experience the rich sensation of the language B B A healthy amount of sunshine may be the secret to staying young British 7 scientists have discovered Vitamin D is produced naturally by the skin in response to 对 的反应 sunlight and may help to slow the ageing process and protect against heart disease according to the study Researchers from King s College London studied 2 160 women aged between 18 and 79 looking at their telomeres a biological marker of ageing found in DNA As people get older their telomeres get shorter and they become more susceptible 易受伤害的 to certain illnesses But the study found women with high levels of vitamin D had comparatively longer telomeres a sign of being biologically younger and healthier The study suggests vitamin D may help to slow down the ageing process of DNA and therefore the ageing process as a whole Lead researcher Dr Brent Richards said These results are exciting because they show for the first time that people who have higher levels of vitamin D may age more slowly than people with lower levels of vitamin D This could help to explain how vitamin D has a protective effect on many ageing related diseases such as heart disease and cancer Professor Tim Spector a co author of the report added Although it might sound absurd 荒唐的 it s possible that the same sunshine which may increase our risk of skin cancer may also have a healthy effect on the general ageing process Vitamin D made by the action of sunlight on the skin accounts for 90 percent of the body s supply but lower levels can also be got through food such as fish eggs and breakfast cereals 粥 Other studies have suggested the vitamin plays a key role in protecting against cancer and heart disease 64 A certain amount of sunshine helps people stay young because A people feel happy and energetic in the sun B sunshine protects people against heart disease C vitamin D makes one s skin look young and healthy D vitamin D may help to slow the ageing process 65 From Brent Richards we know that A sunlight causes skin cancer to people with high level of vitamin D B the study generally has a healthy effect on the general ageing process C vitamin D can only be got from fish eggs and breakfast cereals D the higher levels of vitamin D people have the more slowly people may age 66 What can we inferinfer fromfrom the passage A Telomeres are important as they are signs of ageing of the DNA B Sunlight can be dangerous as it causes skin cancer C Sunlight does more good than harm to our health 8 D Vitamin D can also be gained from food 67 What is the best title of the passage A Secret of Staying YoungB Vitamin D Helps Slow Ageing C Sunlight and Vitamin DD Sunlight and Health C C The World Health Organization estimates that more than 4 million people die each year from the effects of smoking tobacco 烟草 That number is increasing WHO officials expect 150 million people to die from tobacco use in the next twenty years Seven in ten of those deaths will be in developing countries These numbers are frightening Yet people around the world continue to smoke It is not easy to stop smoking However doctors say you will live longer if you do stop smoking You will feel better and look better You will also protect the health of family members who breathe in your smoke The American Cancer Society says there is not just one right way to stop smoking It says that one method or a unit of methods may be successful These include attending self help programs or following directions in a book The group says any way to stop smoking that is legal moral and effective is worth trying This could include taking long walks or spending time in areas where smoking is not allowed Also you could eat a small piece of fruit instead of having a cigarette The American Cancer Society says the sooner smokers stop smoking the more they reduce 减少 their chances of getting cancer and other diseases It says blood pressure returns to normal twenty minutes after a smoker smoking the last cigarette Carbon monoxide CO gas levels in the blood return to normal after eight hours In a day the chances of a heart attack decrease In a year the risk of

officials say that a person will live longer if he she stops smoking B the smoker can affect the health of his or her family members C following any way can help you stop smoking D no matter how hard you try it it is worth doing that D D For Chinese students the end of their senior year is filled with studying and stress as they prepare for the college entrance exams in June But for American high school seniors the experience couldn t be more different The end of senior year is a celebration of their time in high school and involves parties games and fun Senioritis is a commonly used

fun of their favorite teachers or their friends For example a group of boys may dress up and imitate a group of their girl friends It is all very light hearted The Senior Show is usually a part of Senior Week which is a week specifically dedicated 专用的 to seniors During this week seniors usually get academic or athletic awards they have won over their high school careers The seniors also vote for one of their male and female classmates who they believe is the best looking or funniest or most involved etc These are then published in the yearbook The yearbook is an important part of high school for seniors It is usually dedicated to them and has all their pictures and a quote from them in it Then seniors go around and get it signed by their friends so they can always remember their time together Of course during all of this time seniors are preparing for the Senior Prom which is an important moment in American culture It is the most important dance in a young American s life The
