To learn as much as you can from reading, you need to read different kinds of English. This book provides not only different kinds of English but also a good way to check your reading ability.There are four parts in the book:Part 1 is Messages: In this part somebody wants to send information in writing to somebody else. There is a test on timetables and a test on text messages.Part 2 is People: In this part all the tests are about people. For example, there is an informal letter between friends. There is formal English in biography （传记）. There is a job application（申请表） as a model to help with your writing, as well as testing your reading.Part 3 is Places: In this part, too, many different kinds of English are shown, some informal and some formal. There is the informal English of a holiday postcard. There is also the formal English in a letter of complaint（抱怨）.Part 4 is Things: You will find some descriptive writing in this part. There are descriptions of clothes and of a computer.You can do these tests in any order you like, or you can do all the tests with a formal or informal text.I enjoyed writing this book and I hope you enjoy using it.5We can find the introduction to a product in .APart 1BPart 2CPart 3DPart 46Which of the following is most probably written in informal English?AA letter of complaint.BA computer hand book.CA letter to a friend.DA story of president.7The passage is most probably written for .Atest-designersBstudentsCtest-takersDteachers8Which of the following is the best title for the book?ATest your reading abilityBHelp with your writingCLearn different kinds of EnglishDPractice English in different waysCLooking back on my childhood, I believe that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and my sisters soon gave up their flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic （算术）.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim（暗淡的） memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal（水晶）clear memory of the dogs, farm animals, local birds, and above all, insects.I am a naturalist, nor a scientist. I have a strong love for the natural world and my enthusiasm （热情） has led me into varied investigations （调查）. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then something brings these observations together in my mind. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books.But curiosity（好奇心）, a keen （敏锐的）eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.9The first paragraph tells us the writer .Awas interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodBlost his hearing when he was a childCdidnt like his brothers and sistersDwas born into a naturalists family10The writer cant clearly remember his relatives probably because .Ahe didnt live very long with themBthe family was very largeChe was too young when he lived with themDhe devoted himself to observing nature11It can be inferred from the passage that the writer was .Aa scientist as well as a naturalistBnot a naturalist but a scientistConly a born naturalistDfirst of all a scientist12According to the writer, a born naturalist should first of all be .Agood at mathsBfull of enthusiasmCknowledgeableDself-disciplined（自我约束）DTo reach the worlds richest country, you dont need to set out for the Middle East, but for the South Pacific, to a tiny dot just south of the equator, called Nauru. Only 8.2 square miles in size, the whole of this county can be seen form the air as the plane comes into land. The blue South Pacific Ocean reaches for thousands of miles in all directions, the nearest piece of land Ocean Island 200 miles to the east.Nauru is so small that the plane lands in what is best regarded as the capitals main street. The seaward side of the runway has traffic lights at each end to stop cars when planes are landing. The tiny bus station outside the airport is crowded with well-fed and brightly clothed Naurans with their modern cars.With Naurans now getting an average of $44,500 a year, the islands 60,000 people seem to have little to worry about. A trip to the islands central hump （隆峰） tells a slightly different story.The hump with a great deal of phosphate （磷酸盐） round is Naurus wealth. When Nauru gained freedom from the British government in 1968, about 40 million tons of the earliest 100 million tons of phosphate were left. Since it has taken out another 10 million tons, the rest is only enough for another 20-25 years.13The best title for the passage should be .AWealth and population of NauruBThe most beautiful country in the worldCA small island surrounded by the South Pacific OceanDA small but rich island country14It can be inferred from the passage that .ANauru has not build a runway in the airport yetBNauru is not large enough to build a runway of the planeCthe Naurans are not rich enough to build a runway of the planeDno cars run on the main street15From the last sentence of the passage we can learn that the writer wants to tell us .Awhy Naurans are so richBsomething more about NauruCsomething for Naurans to worry aboutDhow the British robbed Nauru of their wealth2、 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15 分） What you do in the hour after you get up can help you look and feel your best for the rest of the day. _16_Get energy with colorWhen you open your eyes, seeing a bright color helps you clear your head and get ready for a new day. _17_ You can even make breakfast colorful and healthful by pouring yourself a glass of strawberry or orange juice._18_Drinking a big glass of water as soon as you get up is a good way to provide the fluid (液体) your body loses overnight, and it supplies instant energy. _19_ Without enough of it, your systems have to work harder which can cause tiredness.

Their home life was 25 different from mine, and they were constantly （经常地） in trouble 26 the school.I remember sitting at my desk one morning, 27 what I had gotten into.

I had forgotten that they werent good boys; they were just 34 .When I heard their voices in class, I would pray, “Dear God, please 35”As time went on, my classmates became more than just 36 boys to me. There was something growing inside my heart, something that wasnt there before. They began to feel like 37 , and I was learning to love them in a way I never thought possible.I now see that praying is such a 38 act. When I pray for those around me, it also blesses my 39 , and it changes my ideas of others. I realize I need Gods blessings to 40 the world through my loving eyes. The prayers I said for others turned out to help me the most.21AskillsBresearchCproblemsDknowledge22AplayBlearnCteachDprogress23AcopyBgo overCshareDfinish24AwiseBfoolishCnaughtyDfriendly25AclearlyBhardlyConlyDterribly26AinBofConDwith27AdoubtingBplanningCwonderingDimagining28Athe restBthe otherCallDnone29AconsiderBlistenCcryDappear30AEven thoughBWhenCNo matterDAs though31AcelebratingBdiscussingCjoiningDthrowing32ApartyBshopCmeetingDclub33Ascolding（指责）BpraisingCworkingDpraying34AlostBmissingCgoneDdisappointed35ApunishBblessCofferDsave36Awarm-heartedBhumorousCtroublesomeDsimple-minded37Aa teamBstrangersCbrothersDa family38ApowerfulBfoolishCstrongDromantic（浪漫）39AlearningBmathClifeDmind40AtouchBseeCfeelDforget四、阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） A reporter: Hello, Elias, may I ask you some questions?Elias: Certainly.A reporter: Why did you join the ANC Youth League?Elias: Because it fought _41_ equal rights for black and white people in South Africa.A reporter: Can you give me some reasons for it?Elias: OK.
